Watching The Stars Together
Drabble 38: Gamer
Hikari's sudden obsession with video games worried Wizard. Even now, she sat, mouth open, eyes bulging as she curled in front of the television with a bag of chips at her side, the little Xbox controller held tightly within her grasp, as though letting go of it would deprive her of all life. Wizard, who was enjoying a rather spectacular novel about a boy wizard who went to a strange school, finally let himself be drawn to the screen, curious to see what had elicited such giggling from her.
"—But I'm still a man, you can't expect me to resist forever." On the screen, there was a blond-haired man speaking to a girl who looked suspiciously like Hikari. He wore robes, with feathered shoulders.
Hikari peered at the screen, before clicking one of the buttons. The Hikari look-a-like responded, "How long will it take before I drive you mad?"
Suddenly, the feathered man yanked the look-a-like towards him, pressing his lips to hers. Wizard sat, in shock, a sudden fury boiling slightly in his stomach as the two parted, and the blond man pressed his head against the look-a-like's.
"If we could die, tomorrow, I didn't want it to be without doing that."
"What…" Wizard's voice made Hikari's head swivel around in surprise, and she jumped slightly too. "What are… you playing…?"
"I, er…" Hikari sounded a bit flustered, and a blush tainted her cheeks. "Dragon Age 2, it's an RPG, with romantic elements and… uh…"
"Why… does your… avatar look like you… and…" He unconsciously glared at the blond guy, who was smiling contentedly at the screen as he awaited an answer. "Who is… that?"
"He's a wizard!" She said, quickly.
Yeah. I've been playing waaay too much Dragon Age. Here's a way of showing my obsession.
