Hey guys! I know it's been a while, but here it is! Last cute 'n happy chapter before things start getting complicated. Enjoy, and leave a review, please! c:

"Wait a sec..." Axel said, furrowing his brow. "You want to what?"

"I want to play video games with you," Sarah repeated slower, slightly irked.

"So...you don't want me to take you out to an expensive restaurant?"

"No."

"You don't want me to take you shopping or something?"

"No! Dammit Axel, I know what I said!" she cried, exasperated. "I just want to stay in, order food and play video games all night." Axel wondered if he was dreaming.

"Are you sure? 'Cause I mean, I could take you on a real date."

"What, you want to do something else? I thought you'd like that, too."

"No, no, I do! I'm just..." Axel rubbed the back of his neck. "Surprised." Sarah grinned.

"You think I don't like video games just because I'm a girl?" She teased. "How sexist of you."

"So...there isn't a catch?" he asked, waiting for her to make a demand. She rolled her eyes, shaking her head and Axel smirked.

"You're on, then."

She really wasn't kidding. Sarah had stopped by Sora's on the way home from work and picked up the Nintendo 64 and a bunch of games. Combined with that and what Axel already had, they really were going to be busy for quite a while.

"So what do you want to start with?" Sarah asked after they had ordered a pizza.

"Black Ops?" Axel suggested with a grin. Sarah groaned. "What?"

"I'm awful," she laughed. "But we can still play. As long as we get to do zombies, too." Axel shrugged.

"I'm down."

She was right, Axel noticed. She really was terrible. He let her kill him a few times to make her feel a little better, and she'd managed to do it on her own once or twice. There really wasn't much of a challenge though, so they decided to call it quits after a few rounds. Soon after, the pizza arrived and Sarah decided to answer the door. Axel didn't like the way the delivery boy was ogling her, so after she'd handed him a twenty, he curtly told the kid to keep the change and slammed the door in his face. Sarah gave him a puzzled look.

"What was up with that?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing," he said quickly. "So what do you want to play?" She picked out Diddy Kong racing and they took a seat on the floor together, Axel's arms on either side of her as she sat between his legs, leaning back against him. They raced a few times, but quickly got tired of it and switched to Mario Party and then went through a few more games.

"Okay, last one," Sarah said, holding up Super Smash Brothers. Axel had lost count how many games they'd been played, and the both of them had somehow eaten an entire pizza.

"If I win, you have to take me to see the Avengers tomorrow." Oh, so she was going to play like that, huh? So could he.

"Alright, and if I win, we have sex." Sarah stared at him with an are-you-serious expression. "What? We haven't in a while!"

"Okay...best two out of three?" Axel agreed. Unfortunately, Sarah was much better at this game than she was at Call of Duty and he watched in frustration as Link knocked Fox off the edge.

"I let you do that," he muttered.

"Sure," she smirked up at him. "We'll see about that." Her cockiness did not last long however, as Axel won the next round, barely. They came to the last round and ended up with sudden death, but once again Axel prevailed and he grinned triumphantly.

"I win," he said. "You know what that means, right?" She tried to crawl away, giggling, but Axel was faster and he pinned her to the floor with a smirk. "My, my, this is a rather compromising position, don't you think?" He leaned down, pressing his mouth hungrily to hers, pleased to find that she responded with the same enthusiasm.

"How's that?" he whispered, pulling away. Her face was thoroughly flushed and Axel took it as a good sign, scooping her up in his arms, carrying her back to the bedroom.

A few hours later, they laid under the covers together, breathless. Axel slid an arm around her shoulders and she wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his chest.

"Do you still wanna go to see the Avengers tomorrow?" He asked, running his fingers through her hair.

"Yeah," she smiled up at him and he returned it, giving her a light kiss.

"Then we'll go," he said. She looked pleased at this and they enjoyed a comfortable silence for a few moments.

"Hey Axel?"

"Yeah?"

"You do know you don't have to beat me at a video game for us to have sex, right?" He laughed as he looked down at her in his arms.

"I know, but I don't mind," he grinned.
