You didnt block

Covet: Tae was down stairs playing the arcade game, tipsy off her ass, mostly cause it was almost the weekend, and she didn't have class tomorrow so fuck it, drink on. She was getting her ass kicked in the game because she sucks. "Noo, that's not the move I wanted!" She groaned, leaning over the machine.
Alexithymiaa: -Noah had wanted some fresh air and craved a bit of exercise to burn off the energy he had going on right now so he was outside shooting hoops by himself. He dribbled the ball around a bit, jogging up alongside the hoop and pushing it up over his head, tipping his fingers toward the hoop and knocking it through.-
Covet: Tae watched as the "game over " menu popped up. "Nooooo! Dammit. Where's Noah... I'll make him beat this level." She said grabbing her bitch beer off of the arcade console and started making her way upstairs. It tool longer than expected mostly because she had to climbe the last five stairs or so, on her hands and knees because she kept swaying. Once at the top she poked her head down the hall to see if he was in his room, but wasn't, so she turned into her room and grabbed her phone off of her bed and sat at the top of the stairs to text Noah, " BAAAAAAABE I nee3llld UR help!"
Covet: *climb
Alexithymiaa: -The ball bounced underneath the hoop, his hands reaching out to grab the rebound when he felt his phone go off in his pocket. Digging for it, he pulled it out to see the text from Tae, instantly amused. -text- With what? - Noah
Covet: -The game, iskickin my add.- Tae said grumbling at the typos because she didn't have the patience to fix it. -where ru xmas?- she added.
Alexithymiaa: (HAHAHAHAHAHA)
Alexithymiaa: -He furrowed his brows as he tried to decipher what the fuck she was talking about, hitching his ball underneath his arm and heading to the front door to push it open. "Tae?" He called out before seeing her sitting at the stairs. "What the fuck are you doing?"-
Covet: "I'm waiting for you, and I can't text. Too drunk, which means I'm getting my ass kicked on the game downstairs, I need your help to get to the next level." She said grinning up at him from the floor, before polishing off her beer.
Alexithymiaa: "Video game help? You should have started with that." He dropped the basketball down onto the floor, letting it bounce off and roll into the living room before offering her hands hands to try to help her up. "Which game?"-
Covet: "The arcade game downstairs." She told him taking his hand, though she wasn't exactly helping him any, getting back to her feet, more just hanging there like dead weight.
Covet: [btw, her boot is off now ]
Alexithymiaa: "The fighter?" He asked as he struggled to keep her stable on her feet before just giving in and wrapping his arms fully around her torso to support her. "Why do I feel like the stairs are a terrible idea right now...."-
Covet: "Yeah, I got the first tier and I'm stuck on the second." She told him, leaning into him. "It's not, I just came up them, they're fine." Tae said waving it off as she headed that way.
Alexithymiaa: -He let out a sigh, keeping his arms firmly around her as he started down the stairs on step at a time to make sure he had a handle on her weight and wasnt off balance in case she started to fall. "You only got past the first tier? Why bother even playing if you suck that badly?"-
Covet: She pouted and looked up at him, "Because I was trying to get better so I could play with you. Sometimes it's fun to just watch you play, but sometimes, I kind of want to be included."
Alexithymiaa: "You'll never be on my level." He said like that wasnt a dick thing to say, reaching the bottom of the stairs and easing up on his grip of her. "Alright, let's see what we've got here. I bet you picked a squishy character just because it was pretty or cute, too."-
Covet: "Why do you gotta say it like that?" Tae said with a pout. " No, I picked one with a lot of muscles, because I didn't want to die. I'm not that stupid." She said rolling her eyes, slumping back over the console. "The one with the blue wooshy thing and he puts his hands out like this." She said mimicking the move.
Alexithymiaa: -He watched her try to mimic the character, unsure what the fuck she was doing. "I'm sorry, how did it go? I think I missed that."-
Covet: Oh my god, were you even watching?" She asked him as she repeated the action, "Like that!"
Alexithymiaa: -He tipped his head to the side, rubbing his chin dramatically like he was deep in thought. "Does he do anything else? I think I need more of an example to figure it out."-
Covet: "Noah, it's the only one that does the blue wooshy move." She told him. "I can't do the other moves, I'm too drunk and I don't want to hurt my ankle again, I just got that stupid boot off." She told him, glaring at him.
Alexithymiaa: "Alright alright alright." He said, turning to the machine and going into the game. He moved the joystick over toward Sub Zero because that's what it seems like we're talking about here even though this is definitely not Mortal Kombat. Selecting the character, he waited for the fight to begin and started combo moving the shit out of his opponent. "You can't just button mash. This is an art."-
Covet: "You're art." Tae said as if that was supposed to be an insult. " I wasn't button mashing. I was trying to do the combos, but I'm too slow."
Alexithymiaa: "I know." He said with a smug grin on his face, keeping his eyes on the screen as he slaughted the other fighter and won the match. "I know, that's whyyou cant drink and game. You need to be at your best performance at all times."-
Covet: "Wait, you're already done? Seriously?!" She said with a groan, " I'm always at my best perfomance for other things, even when drinking." She said glaring at him. "I haven't heard any complaints.
Covet: *"
Alexithymiaa: "That's different." He said as he shifted out of the way of the machine, gesturing for her to step in and take over even though he knew if she couldnt beat the second tier, she wouldnt be able to beat any of the others either. "Pros don't take a lot of time to be pros, Tae."-
Covet: "Yes they do, like years of practice." Tae told him. " They aren't just born with all that talent like they're a gift from god or something." She said stepping in to do the next one, but not even three seconds in she'd already died once. "What? I totally blocked that!"
Alexithymiaa: "Actually..." He started, pausing for dramatic effect because he was trying to insinuate he was in fact a gift from god. "You didn't, but okay. Do you even know how to block?"-
Covet: "Shut up." She said giving Noah a pathetic shove that moved her more than him. "Yes I do, it's the blue button, blue for block." She said, then hit it multiple times in a row making it go off on the screen.
Alexithymiaa: "But it doesn't block when you hit more than just that button at a time, which you did." He said, taking a step over when she shoved him and then moving back. "Maybe you should practice before you try to rank."-
Covet: "Maybe you should rank before you practice...." She said as if that meant anything. "Do you have an easier game I could try?" She asked with a pout, "I didn't mean to hit the other buttons, God, Noah."
Alexithymiaa: "What?" He asked her confused, trying not to laugh at her, but he wasnt doing such a good job of that. "I've got an emulator on my computer to run some old sega games. Those are definitely easier." He moved up behind her, slipping his arms around her waist.-
Covet: "Oh, like Sonic? I remember getting to play that with Eli, he loves the old console games. Well.. he'd play it and give me a controller that wasn't plugged in...but same idea." Tae said as she leaned back into him. "Yes, can we go play those instead, and stop laughing at me, I can see it on your face." She said looking up to poke him in his smug face.
Alexithymiaa: (Literally just talking to Bryan about that a few days ago and how he used to do that to me)
Alexithymiaa: "What? You're just so funny. It's not my fault that you're funny. But yes, I have sonic if you want to play sonic. A bunch of other shit too." He said as he leaned his head down closer to her, kissing the side of her face. "Just don't fuck up my computer with your drunkenness."-
Covet: [bahahaha]
Covet: "You're not laughing because I'm funny, you're laughing AT me. that's different. And no I don't want to play anything else, because the only game worth while on Sega is Sonic." She told him "I won't I'm done drinking for now, The worst that happens is that I do the sticky key thing." She said leaning into the kiss, "Now help me back up stairs, I want to show you how good at Sonic I am." She said, but she definitely wasn't good at it, at all.
Alexithymiaa: "I am instantly regretting this decision." He mumbled to himself, bending his knees and grabbing her legs to hoist her up and over his shoulder in the most unromantic carrying position ever. He started up the stairs with her over his shoulder, trying his best not to smash her face into anything.-
Covet: Tae gave a laugh because this isn't what she meant, but it was even better than having to climb the stairs, she just did her best to hold her hands out to block the walls in real life, which really wasn't any better than in game right now, not that it mattered, she's drunk and probably can't feel anything anyways.
Alexithymiaa: -He made his way to the top of the stairs and wandered off with her still over his shoulder to his bedroom, tossing her onto the bed with no intentions of actually getting the emulator set up for her tonight. Just sex.-
