Edward nibbled at his ice-cream, licking the pink stuff from the teaspoon. He looked around the room in boredom. Eventually his eyes settled on a black object in the corner by the TV, half covered by a curtain.
He narrowed his eyes, tilting his head to get a better look, "…Is that a PS3?" he said in surprise, "You have a PS3?"
Harvey looked up from his computer- the yin-yang usb plugged in, reloading files.
"Uh, yeah, Twoface saw it and-"
I thought it might make you smarter…
"-wanted it, got some games free with it."
…How wrong I was…
Edward's face lit up with a smile, "What games? I love games! Can I play, please?"
The corner of Harvey's face twitched with a smile, "Yeah, of course."
"Yes…" Edward squeaked happily, he climbed to the floor and pulled back the curtains, finding a pile of games. "Don't you play?"
Harvey shook his head, "No, I like to watch more than play, I can never get the hang of the buttons."
Edward rolled his eyes, "So I, the dyspraxic little boy, am better at playing games, those tiny fiddly-as-fuck buttons? That's your excuse for not playing-Holy crap you have portal two! I am playing this!"
Harvey smiled again as Edward put the disk in the console, and changed to the HDMI channel, he saw static.
Edward turned and frowned at Harvey, "…You've not plugged it into the HDMI…?"
"What's 'HDMI'?" the older man asked.
Edward laughed gently, "For…" he sighed, "Hang on, I have one in one of my bags."
The ginger haired man got to his feet and scuttled off to his room.
Harvey got to his feet and picked up the portal two box, looking at the pictures, trying to read it.
Why not just tell him you have bad eyes?
I don't, it's your eye that's bad.
That's why you don't play it though, right?
Harvey sighed and went back to the computer. It wasn't that he couldn't see properly, but looking at things on certain types of screens was… hard.
For example, he could no longer read white text on a black background, or neon text.
He forced a smile onto his face as Edward re-entered the room, holding a long black cable, "This is a HDMI. It'll make the picture better."
The small man squatted behind the TV and started unplugging and replugging wires into the box. A picture flickered onto the screen, "Is that it?" Edward asked, "It's workin'?"
Harvey nodded, "Yeah, you've done it."
Edward let out a short 'woo' of happiness, and placed himself back on the sofa, picking up his ice-cream, playing the game with only one hand at first.
By the time the game had reached the end on the tutorial Edward had realised that Harvey was watching along intently, his computer sitting forgotten now.
Edward sat himself straight and patted the seat next to him, looking towards Harvey and smiling, "Come 'n sit with me."
Harvey seemed to jump back to consciousness, his head jerking, "Uh, no," he said, looking down at his computer, "I should finish this…"
"Aw, come on, please? For like half an hour? I always need help on these bits,"
Liar.
Edward pouted gently, "…There's more Wheatley bits?"
Harvey huffed gently, closing his laptop, "…Fine. I'll get my ice-cream."
I know it was a short chapter...
