General POV
Aeris began to stir. As she slowly awoke, she heard the clacking of a GameCube controller above her. She could see a gray mass above her, not sure what it was. As her vision cleared, she began to realize exactly what it was. "Good morning," Leo said as he looked down at her with the most cocky, shit-eating grin on his face. She turned bright red and immediately reeled away from Leo and fell off the couch onto her ass. Leo paused his game and started laughing hysterically. He laughed for a few seconds before he was quickly interrupted by a pink fist connecting with his right cheek. He got up and continued to laugh as a very embarrassed and bright red Aeris stormed off to her room.
Aeris' POV
I can't believe I fucking did that! Now that dumbass is gonna get some ideas! He does make a nice pillow though… I should try that again some other time.
General POV
Aeris finally gathered up the courage to leave her room and make some lunch. As she walked out into the living room, Leo was looking at the games shelf intently, gripping a Nintendo 64 controller in one hand. Aeris approached him. "What game you looking for?" "Pilotwings 64." Aeris thought for a second. Leo likes that game? That's odd. "Look between O and Q. Should be somewhere in there." His eyes lit up and he reached over and grabbed the gray cartridge. He had a look of pride on his face, like he found the cartridge himself. He glanced down at his left arm and scowled. "Looks like there's a scratch on my shirt. Damn it." Aeris looked at him in bewilderment as he ripped the sleeve off the shirt. "What the hell? That was stupid!" Leo seemed to have a moment of realization. "Oh yeah, you're right. Better even it out." Leo proceeded to rip the other sleeve off his shirt as well. Aeris stared at him with a look of apathy. "You've ruined that shirt." "Good point," Leo said with a grin. He then ripped the whole shirt off and looked down at himself. He then looked up and Aeris and flexed. "Sexy, no?" She stuck her paw in her face and sighed. She looked up at him for a few seconds and realized something. Not only was she staring, she was blushing. She hoped to God that Leo didn't notice. Leo looked down at his pants. "Oh, look! Some dust on my pants." Aeris quickly rushed out of the room to spare her eyes. "Goodbye." She says as she quickly leaves the room. She cringes at the loud tearing sound behind her, and quickly enters her room. As she shuts the door she hears Leo yell something. "WOOOOOO! HELICOPTER!" Her face flushed completely red and she shut her door rather quickly.
She sat down at her desk and powered on her laptop. The laptop triumphantly came on with a chime, the glow of the screen filling the room with a dim light. She entered Microsoft Word and started typing. She was working hard on Fox and Falco's newest "adventure." After about 30 minutes of typing, She heard a cry of frustration come from the living room. "FUCK! How the hell do I do this?!" She got up and left her room to help Leo, making sure her laptop was shut. She walked into the living room, and saw Super Metroid on the TV, a game she has fond memories with (first game her and Leo played together), and Leo holding a SNES controller, cursing at the game. She looked back at the TV. He was firing shots into a red door. She stuck her paw in her face for probably the 5th time today. "You do know you need missiles to open that, right?" Leo nodded. Aeris threw her arms up. "How do you not know that?!" He shrugged. He fired a missile at the door, the door flashing in response to the impact. He looked back up at Aeris. "It's still not opening." Aeris glared at him. "Maybe try shooting it more than once, dumbass!" He looked back up at the TV, his missile reserves dangerously low. He fired 4 more missiles at the door, the fifth and final one opening the door, and also expending the last of his missiles. He looked solemnly at his missile count, reading all zeroes. "Don't worry, you'll get more. Just kill a few things." Leo's eyes lit up as he maliciously entered the room and started firing his beam at everything in sight. Soon, his missile count read 20, and he was proud of himself. His energy count also read 22, a beeping sound signifying that he was in great danger. He panicked and tried to run away as a lone shot struck Samus in the back, her Power Suit exploding and Leo's game coming to an end. He cursed at the game, and turned it off, pulling out the Super Metroid cartridge and replacing it on the shelf. His eyes scanned across the rows of games before they lit up, and he pulled out another gray cartridge. "Space Megaforce! Have you ever played this, Aeris?" She did, and she sucked at it. All the horrible memories of constantly exploding and getting bombarded by bullets quickly came back to her. "Yeah, I have actually. I sucked at it though." Leo laughed a little bit before handing her the controller. "How about we take turns. You first." She took the cartridge from his hand and placed it in the Super Nintendo, clicking the power button and heading back towards the couch. Leo patted his hand on the cushion next to him and scooted to the side, giving Aeris some room to sit down next to him. The game copyright screen came up as a loud digitized voice boomed through the speakers. "SPACE MEGAFORCE! Presented by Toho." Aeris smiled a little. "Huh. The game talks." Leo looked over to her and smiled. "Oh yeah, it does. Scared the hell outta me the first time." She laughed and started the game, perfectly content spending time with a complete idiot. Not just any idiot though... he was her idiot.
