Ars Amatoria Romance Challenge: Game
By Angel Mouse
Game
It was like watching a tennis match between two top seeds. Bouncing verbal spars off each other like no bodies business. It was almost like they enjoyed the verbal war between them.
The spars at first had been light hearted one liners designed to defuse tension during battles, fighting krybots or even playing light ball. But over time they became more, more warm, more intimate. It had gone from being a game to something more.
He would find some music to cheer her up if she was down. She'd bring him a plate of buttery toast when he was working late on something.
The others watched the game between Bridge and Z with growing amusement and joy. And when they finally got together they all knew that the game between Bridge and Z had ended in a draw. But both parties had won.
And that's the way games of the heart should be.
