"Alright, Hamada, this is it. The final charge to victory. Let's do this!"

Another way in which GoGo surprised Tadashi was that she was actually fairly good at playing video games. Not that he believed it was strange for girls to play video games or anything like that, (Tadashi thought that was a rather stupid stereotype) but her level of natural aptitude impressed him. Hiro had recently acquired a brand new game called Overwatch, a game he and Fred had been playing for the past several weeks, so it must've been good, Tadashi assumed. The morning following Tadashi's bringing her home from the SFIT, apropos of nothing, GoGo had ordered him to play cooperative split-screen with her. Naturally, she was drawn to Reinhardt, the character with the massive, fire-spewing hammer while Tadashi had been relegated to playing Mercy, the healer character, for the singular purpose of maintaining the health of GoGo's titanic warrior.

"Hamada! I'm getting my ass kicked over here! Heal me!"

"Uh, this is a team game, miss impatient pants, so I have to heal everyone."

"Yes, but if I die, they die, so get it to it. Now!" Her voice took on an air of deathly seriousness. Tadashi expected this to happen. In any competitive environment, GoGo fought with unrelenting energy to be number one, but in this case Tadashi found it somewhat adorable. The way she would grit her teeth when things didn't go her way and laugh wickedly when she was tearing through enemies was extremely cute. Still, there was no denying that GoGo was quite skilled. She was racking up kills and shutting down the enemy team's defensive positions all without a single mistake on her part. A few seconds after Tadashi began to ruminate on how much he adored his girlfriend and her gaming skills, the match was over and their team was victorious. GoGo pumped her fists in the air in celebration.

"That's how it's done." The end-of-the-game statistics flashed on screen and further fueled her rapidly proliferating ego. "And look at that! Leiko Tanaka, most valuable player with a 26 player killstreak."

Somewhat indignant, Tadashi took the opportunity to poke at his girlfriend's egotistical bubble. "Uh, look right there." He pointed to another portion of the screen. "Tadashi Hamada with over ten thousand healing points provided. They would've shut you down twenty times over if not for me. No need to thank me, it's just what I do." He put one leg on top of the other and his hands on the back of his head.

"But what would happen if I wasn't there to protect you? Just like in real life, you're nothing without me, Hamada."

He gave her a facetious glare and thought of a way to continue the raging debate. "And what would you do if I picked another character, hm?" Despite their back-and-forth, there was a great deal of truth in her words. On the one hand, his character had very little in the way of defensive weapons and was almost entirely reliant on her teammates, but it was also true that he needed the real life version of her. He loved everything about her. Her sarcasm, her wit, her single-minded quest to achieve perfection in every capacity of life, her unending dedication to her friends. She was truly something special. There was also the fact that she was unquestionably, unequivocally, indisputably the most physically gorgeous human being to ever walk the planet. She was the complete package, and Tadashi adored her with every atom of his being. But that didn't mean she was exempt from a bit of teasing every now and again. "Would you learn to appreciate me if I played Tracer?"

GoGo cackled in response. "Wait a minute, you want to play as Tracer? You actually want to play as a girl?"

"What is so wrong with guys playing as girls in video games? Seriously, what is the big deal?"

"Hey, if you want to do it, don't let me stop you." She responded, still cackling.

"Well, she has a spunky attitude, short hair, a playstyle built around going fast, and she's irresistibly cute. Is it any wonder I want to play as her?" He looked over to find GoGo squirming away from his scrutiny as he just so happen to offhandedly mention the whole "irresistibly cute" thing. He noted a dash of red on her cheeks.

"You...have a point," She squeaked out. "But you're going to keep playing as Mercy."

"And how do you know that?"

Without warning, GoGo leaped over to Tadashi's portion of the couch and into his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his stomach, and encroached his mouth in a passionate kiss. Instantly, his eyes fluttered to a close as he recalled how much he enjoyed the taste of GoGo's gum-flavored lips. While they were both reasonably confident, their first kiss had been marred by a mutual feeling of timid uncertainty, each not wanting to overstep the others boundaries, but their prior trust in each other blossomed into a passionate love. Now, each kiss was backed by the full being and spirit of each participant. She pulled her face away and, with her forehead still pressed against his, reaped the fruits of her labor. "So, are you gonna be my personal medic next round? You did create Baymax, after all."

With the giddy whirlwind of emotions in his stomach, GoGo could've ordered him to sprint through a minefield covered in lasers and Tadashi would've complied. "Fine." It was his turn to try to avoid her scrutiny. He could feel a fierce blush develop on his face as his eyes darted away from his girlfriend's.

"Good boy. I always knew you enjoyed being my bitch"

He made eye contact with her and squinted. "Shut up."

Satisfied and smiling, GoGo shuffled back to her end of the couch as the next match began. This time, however, the two were on opposing teams.

"Oooh, you are so going down, Hamada."

Tadashi knew this was going to get ugly. GoGo was incredibly competitive, but this would be taking it to a new level.

"Perfect." Tadashi also knew that some light teasing would get her even further into the state of gladiator-esque fury.

"This is it. The greatest battle in human history. Kobe versus Jordan, Team Captain America versus Team Iron Man, and now Tadashi Hamada versus Leiko Tanaka."

"You better not screen look, you freaking cheater."


Tadashi had made it a point to hunt down GoGo every chance fate gave him. Luckily, opportunity had smiled upon him as he found her character attempting to break away from the action to acquire a health pack. He had specifically picked Tracer as she was speedy and designed to counter GoGo's slow, lumbering beast of a character. She was his for the taking.

"I have you now," As Tadashi moved in for the kill, he made sure to watch GoGo beside him. He knew she would pull out all the stops when victory, especially victory over him, was on the line. Before Tadashi could finish GoGo off, she suddenly sprung from the couch towards him. Knowing that she would attempt to kiss him to distract him, he flattened his body on the other end of the couch while making sure to keep his eyes on the screen. "Ha! No you don-Gah!" While Tadashi had managed to avoid GoGo's initial assault, it appeared that she had been planning for it, as quick-as-lightning she forced her feet under his shirt and onto his chest. The cold was petrifying and completely shattered his concentration. Cackling, GoGo finished off Tadashi's character as she watched her boyfriend writhe in pain.

"That's what you get for messing with me, Hamada."


This was it. Every single member of their respective teams was out of commission. Whoever won this duel between Tadashi and GoGo would secure victory for their team. The battle was presently going nowhere. Tadashi had successfully dodged all of GoGo's attacks but couldn't find an opportunity to drain her health. There was one thing that Tadashi knew could turn the tide of battle, however. Using his peripheral vision to maintain contact with the game, Tadashi looked over and found GoGo completely absorbed in the conflict. In one swift move, he used his superior height to move his face right in front of hers and crashed his mouth against her lips while keeping focus on the game. The plan had been rather effective, as GoGo dropped her controller and used her now-vacated hands to cup Tadashi's cheeks, giving him the perfect opportunity to take down her stationary character. Victory was absolute, and Tadashi had used her own tactics against her to achieve it.

"That's what you get for messing with me, Tanak-Yow!" He yelped as GoGo punched him the shoulder

"Asshole," She crossed her arms. After recovering from the blow, Tadashi attempted to mollify his perturbed girlfriend's rage by bringing her into his arms, though her constant wriggling made it extremely difficult. "No. No way you're charming your way out of this, asshole."

"Oh, so you find me charming?"

Though her face was plastered with an expression of pure contempt, Tadashi felt those butterflies in his stomach he often felt with GoGo as she burned a bright crimson. "I don't know. Maybe."

Realizing that she wasn't going to come to him, Tadashi once again shuffled over to GoGo and planted a tender, gentle kiss on her lips. "I'm sorry. I'll play Mercy next round to make it up for you."

"Fine," GoGo gave him a subtle grin as she picked her controller. "So you do enjoy being my bitch."

"This woman." Tadashi rolled his eyes fondly as he prepared for another round with his beloved girlfriend.
