Title: Old Game, New Love?
Length: Drabble

You sit on the floor beside Matt as he selects the video game settings for the two of you. You are preparing to have a Super Mario Kart war!
"It's amazing that this old Super Nintendo still works." you remark, ghosting your thumbs over the controller's four main buttons.
"Find yourself the right adapter, and it's good as new." he says. He is not smoking, today, because you are asthmatic. The corner of his lip twitches upward in yearning for the hook of nicotine. Hopefully, this old video game will help keep his mind off of it.
As the countdown for the video game race begins, Matt flashes you a smile, no, a grin, almost cocky, at that. Holding the acceleration button and getting a head start, his/Mario's car zips off into third place, as your/Yoshi's car is stuck in the dust for a short moment. After gradually getting back on track and ahead of several cars, you excitedly lean forward when you gets a power boost, and your car zooms past Matt's. That is, until he hits you with a red turtle shell…
"You're gonna pay for that!" you exclaim. Once Yoshi's car stops spinning, you are able to move again, but not quite as you had hoped. A recurring creature in the Mario games has a "WRONG WAY" sign hanging from its cloud, only on your bottom screen. This is followed by Matt's brief and mocking laughter.
"You know, kiddo, that's hinting that you need to turn around." he teases.
"I know, I know! I was getting to that!" you defend, your voice overpowering the sound of his dying laughter. When you use the buttons to turn Yoshi's car around, you feels a bit anxious about losing to Matt and his virtually-spawn pride, hence, you jerk back quite a bit. The two of you groan in annoyance as the video game disappears from the screen, leaving the annoying fuzz to substitute.
"(Name)…you jerked the Nintendo out." says Matt. Embarrassed, you cast your eyes down. Too quickly for comprehension, you feel his arm around your shoulder and gasp lightly.
"M-Matt, what are you doing?"
"No game, but I'm sure we can find something better to do, right?" he asks, flashing you a grin. You decide to play along, bringing your lips to his mouth.
"What are you two idiots doing?" asks someone familiar.
"Mello?"
Well, that kills the mood.
