cw ⸺ a bit suggestive but overall, none. ⋆ wc : : 1.8k
"Babe, I think my controller is malfunctioning.."
"Huh— pfft! No, hon, you're looking at the wrong screen! Mine's at the top, yours is at the bottom."
Your eyes trailed to the bottom screen, your minecraft character on his screen moved to look up when you moved the right joystick up. You felt embarrassment arise in your chest. He could see a faint redness blossom on your cheeks, "I—I knew that.. yeah, totally."
Armin smirks, "Sure, totally."
It was game night, something you and your boyfriend had been planning for several weeks but never had the chance to do so. With midterms coming up, you had to be utmost prepared.
You both were stressed and barely had time for each other but you made it work in the end. On days where you felt like the world was crushing you, you called armin. Same goes for armin, when he called you, you were at his dorm room in under a second holding nothing but snacks, a hoodie of yours, and some plushies.
But now that midterms are over, you two finally had time to set the plan in action. You were at armin's dorm, since he already had the full set up, and grabbed the necessary essentials.
A tray, one that's your favorite color and filled to the brim with both of your favorite snacks and drinks, a large thick blanket, pillows, and of course, the game controllers.
Armin bought you both some custom made controllers. They matched with each other, his was kuromi themed with a perfect amount of pins and stickers of kuromi and other themed related stickers on it. The joystick had paws on it, black and pink; yours had the same custom joysticks but two different colors which was white and pink.
Yours was my melody themed and you also had a great amount of stickers and pins for her. Both of your controllers had a keychain on the back of it and when you put the hearts together, they stick to one another like a magnet.
You let armin go into depth about how it was made that day.
Back to you two, you nudged armin with your elbow while he let out a little mischievous snicker. His character started to move around the screen, heading north. You, not having any experience with minecraft, followed him.
You two just started over because you both died due to a creeper, so you had little to nothing in your inventories. You watched as armin ran up to a tree and started to hit it, making one block break after a few seconds. He continued until the whole tree had no wood. "What are you going to do with that wood?"
Armin jolted up, as if he was snapped out of a trance, and looked at you with a smile, "oh! I'm going to use it to craft a crafting table," He points at the upper part of the dual screen.
"You see that? That's called a craft screen, it's a smaller version of the crafting table but in your inventory. I can use that to craft some little stuff like sticks, torches, and a crafting table. Now this,"
You watched his character placed down a brown block that had six lines that made up a square on the top, "This is where it gets fun— I can craft all sorts of things! Such as: a pickaxe, sword, shovel, shears, bucket, flint and steel, and all sorts of stuff we'll need in the future.."
"Ah.." You nodded along. Honestly, you weren't really paying attention. Instead, you were looking at him. Armin had this type of glow in his eyes whenever he gets the chance to talk about the stuff he's interested in. You hated when the gleam instantly fades whenever eren cuts him off, always saying; "we have important things to talk about."
That's why you always let him ramble to you just about anything. It ranged from his favorite seasons of an anime he memorized, to his favorite parts of a book he picked from a library this week.
Plus, it also gives you an advantage.
Armin continues to explain to you about the crafting table, giving you advice on the do's and don'ts.
But, you couldn't pay attention. Your eyes automatically drifted over him.
to the way his adams apple bobs whenever he swallows when his mouth starts to feel dry, whenever he reaches up to tighten his ponytail and the way his golden wheat hair shined when the light hits his hair in a perfect angle, whenever he pushes his glasses up when it started to slip..
Everything he does was mesmerizing to you.
Armin paused in his explaining and turned to you when you didn't answer his question. The look on your face instantly made his heart flutter. Your (e/c) colored eyes were staring at him with so much adoration, your lips were tutted up in a soft smile, towards him. He felt special, elated even. You stared at him as if he hung the stars for you, just that thought alone made his whole face light up in soft red.
You two stared at each other, smiles etched onto your faces. Your pinkie grazed over his, a silent question. Armin's smile widens and he intertwines your hands together. You felt yourself lean towards him, your heart was hammering in your chest.
Licking your lips, you muttered, "c—..can I kiss you?" Your voice came out breathy and soft, your breathing shorten as you awaited his answer.
Nodding, he placed a hand onto your cheek and connected your lips. He kisses you slowly, attentively, as if memorizing the shape of you. His lips were slightly chapped, but remained soft as well.
You could taste the blueberry flavored lip balm he occasionally wears. You felt his tongue graze your bottom lip— tentative, questioning. You answered by parting your lips, inviting him in.
He lets out a little whine when he was granted permission, and you completely melt. Your tongues met in a slow, deliberate rhythm. He tasted like marshmallows, probably from the little snack he had earlier. You two completely melted into the kiss, forgetting all about the game.
His hands roam your body softly, you shiver. He was always being gentle with you, treating you as if you were a prized possession that he couldn't afford to break and that thought made your heart pound even more faster.
You two part away from each other after a few minutes, a string of saliva forming in the middle of your mouths. You panted out quick breaths, your heart felt like it was going to burst at any minute. You two stared at each other.
Swallowing, armin pulled you back into the kiss. You can feel him smiling into it, which made the corner of your lips etch upwards.
You two spent the night away, kissing and giggling like two little kids in a candy store, completely forgetting about the game.
