for drabble weekend: a spencer x reader where she finally beats spencer in chess and he is shocked about it
drabble weekend
You've been practicing day and night for this one game of chess. You studied as much as you can, learned all the rules, practiced online and with another person until you felt confident enough to take on the best fo the best: your boyfriend.
Spencer didn't know you were going the extra mile. If he had, he would have played a lot differently. You're not very good at chess and asked Spencer to teach you. Every game he played with you, he had to show you what moves to make until you got confident enough to play without his help.
That didn't mean you won any games. You hate seeing his smug smile after every game and the "Awh, you'll get it next time". God, you can't wait to wipe that smirk off his fucking face.
The only thing that can be heard is the ticking of the clock next to you and the sound the pieces make when they make contact with the board.
You started to play like how you've always played until you switched tactics and started gaining up on him. He stares at the board in thought before making a move.
You smirk when you see your chance to win this game.
You move one of the pieces and proudly look at him. "Checkmate."
"What?" he gasps and studies the board only to see that he is trapped. You win. "H-How?"
"What, you don't think I can win against you?"
"No, but I always win," he frowns.
"Not this time! I win!" you laugh.
Spencer looks up and the confusion is wiped from his face. A smile replaces the look, and he sits back in his chair. Look how happy you are. You finally won against the best and you're glowing because of it.
Maybe losing isn't the worst thing in the world.
