Winter breaks for Jaebum meant long nights and days spent sleeping. He generally spent his time between Jackson's dad's and his own parents. Tonight was another night spent away from home, but instead of a movie marathon like last night. Tonight Jackson had insisted on playing videogames. It had baffled Jaebum because if there was one thing Jackson wasn't really good at was videogames. Jaebum just stared at Jackson a bit perplexed as he was thrown an xbox controller and the credits for his favorite first person shooter were rolling across the screen.
"Okay, what did you do? What did you break?" Jaebum couldn't help the words that fell from his mouth as he stared at his best friend in disbelief. For Jackson to willingly set this game up knowing Jaebum's score and accuracy, he must have done something that will make Jaebum mad. "Or maybe you're sick." He reached out with a hand, lightly touching the other's forehead lightly feeling nothing but warm and soft skin.
Jackson merely rolled his eyes at the other and swatted the hand away. "Hey! I haven't done anything! Why do you always have to assume the worse?" He scoffed as he logged himself in and then reached over to do the same for Jaebum without a word. "And besides, I've been practicing. I'm prepared to kick your ass." Jaebum could do nothing but shake his head in disbelief as he just stared at Jackson as though he had grown three heads in the blink of an eye. But either way he settled in for a long couple of matches. And time seemed to roll by as the room that had previously been illuminated in the sinking sun was now encased in darkness. Jaebum was slumped half on the floor with his head resting against the edge of the bed. They were playing a multiplayer match and Jaebum had gotten so competitive that he hadn't noticed that Jackson wasn't as animated as himself. Glancing over at his friend as his character on the screen got another kill, he noticed him slumped over sideways asleep.
Jaebum chuckled to himself and quickly forfeited the match before leaning over to grab Jackson's controller from where it laid in his loosely clasped grip. With a hand on the other's shoulder, he softly shook him as the other hand pulled the blankets back on the bed. "Yo, Jacks. Come on man let's go to bed." He managed to get his arm under the sleepy Jackson as he slowly moved his best friend into the soft contours of the mattress, covering him up quickly. Flicking the TV off with the remote, Jaebum climbed over Jackson's still form and settled in next to him on the bed. Having been friends since a young age, the two of them had been sharing things for years now and a bed was nothing to bat an eyelash at. "I totally kicked your ass." Jackson murmured sleepily as he jabbed Jaebum hard in the shoulder. "Yeah, in your dreams maybe." Jaebum shook his head and drew his own covers up and over his head.
