"..An, please stop doing that."
The frantic clicking of Nene's controller only heightens as An makes loops around the other girl's hair with her finger. "Hmm?"
Nene's cheeks turn a rose pink as she hastily avoids the enemies just in time. The other singer, however, only continues humming while continuing to play with the other girl's hair. "An.. it's distracting."
"Mmmhh.. Nene-chan." An murmurs, half asleep. She breathed softly as she leaned on Nene's bean bag. The aforementioned glances beside her to catch a glimpse of the rather stubborn girl, staring peacefully at her green hair. It was enough to make her heart flutter.
It was honestly so annoying. Even after the few months they've been together, even something as simple as this can make Nene a wreck. The best she can do is try to ignore it, but that strategy often collapses pathetically in a few minutes. What explanation could she even offer to her teammates if they see her performing worse than usual? She doesn't think she can admit that she's been staring at her girlfriend for the past couple of minutes.
Even so.. one more game couldn't hurt, right? She was so close to gaining a higher rank, and it shouldn't take too long anyway.
Nene queues in for another round, gripping her controller fiercely as An dozed off to sleep right next to her. She couldn't help but glance at her right before starting the match, though. After the notification of the battle confirmation buzzed, her attention snapped right back to the screen. She sighed as she got ready to play.
While dominating the field and getting kills early, Nene smiled. So far so good..
"Nene-chan.." she heard An wake up, albeit, still really groggily. The troupe member bit her lip, this probably won't be good..
"..Yes?" Nene answered as she shot at an opponent.
"Can I sit on your lap?"
...
Nene's brain short-circuited.
She was suddenly low health. Damn.
Hastily pressing jump and forward, she ran from the battle hoping that the enemy wasn't pursuing her as An caressed her thumb across the troupe member's thigh. She was turning redder each second.
On one hand, Nene really wants this. On the other, Nene also really wants to win her game. She heavily doubts that she'll win if she tries to juggle both at a time. Even something as small as An playing with her hair was enough to distract her, so she was obviously going to choose the game, right?
"Erm.. sure, in a minute."
What was she doing? She was totally going to lose if she had her pretty girlfriend on her lap. An didn't even need to convince her further, she just asked and Nene accepted it.
Nene knew this better than anyone. But despite that, she let said pretty girlfriend sit on her lap anyway.
The gamer groaned. She was such a loser.
"Ah.. are you sure? I don't want to disturb you if you're still in the middle of a match right now.. I can wait." An yawned, her eyebrows scrunching up a little bit as she looks at the other in concern. "It's okay, I think," Nene murmured nervously.
After a minute or so of running and shooting, the gamer deemed that she was safe enough to look away from the screen.
"You can get on now." Nene fumbled. opening her arms with her controller in one hand. An lit up and shuffled her way off the side of Nene's bean bag, and plopped herself on the troupe member.
Nene stared at An with a flustered expression. The street musician only continued and hugged the other's neck while placing her head on one of Nene's shoulders. "Is this okay?" An mumbled, leaning in a little closer to slot their bodies together.
"A-ah. uhm. yes." Nene's face was very noticeably red now. She awkwardly returned to holding her controller with both arms while hugging An. Miraculously, it seems like she hasn't died yet either. The moment she realized this, she tried as best as she could to get back into battle and support her teammates. They must've been wondering why she was just standing there without doing or saying anything.
It was difficult to concentrate with An on her. As in, really difficult. Nene nearly died at least 10 times within a 5-minute timespan. And this went on till the end of her game was nigh.
"Just a little bit more.." Nene muttered. With the last few sounds of the buttons of her controller clicking, she pulls the trigger and..
She kills the last person in the arena and wins.
Nene sighs in relief as she drops the controller on the floor. She can't believe she just did that. She didn't even have the energy to cheer anymore, she was just pleased with her victory and the fact that she could finally properly cuddle with her girlfriend.
"Did you win?" An asked, too comfortable to try to turn around and look at the screen herself.
She smiled. "Somehow, I did."
The musician stopped hugging the other for a moment, Nene tilted her head in slight confusion.
An leaned in and tilted her head to kiss the other.
Nene yelped in surprise initially but kissed back anyway.
The kiss was pretty slow, but it was still sweet. Nene savored the moment before they eventually pulled back. The aforementioned was wearing a familiar shade of scarlet on her face that An always admired.
Even with her usual energy being absent, An flashed one of her signature grins sleepily. "I'll treat you when I wake up.. I'm so happy that you won.."
"An.." Nene's expression softened as she stared at the other. She could tell that An was trying pretty hard to stay up and congratulate her. "I love you."
"..I love you too, Nene-chan." she mumbled back.
The gamer decided to lay An down and cuddle her. "You can sleep now. Sorry for keeping you up."
Little did Nene know, she already dozed off in her arms.
