Bowling needs to be a competition too

Covet: Felix held open the door for Steph. He knew it wasn't the most ideal space for her with her knee and crutches and all that, but he had a plan because this was supposed to be fun, which meant they didn't have to play by the rules. He walked up to the counter to get them shoes and to purchase a game for them, with the bumpers and the cheat roller. He looked over at her after grabbing the shoes and handed them over to her, while the attendant went to set up their lane. "You ready?"
Alexithymiaa: -She limped into the bowling alley with him, her eyes glancing around quickly. "You know I'm like the worst bowler on the planet, right? I've essentially never broken a hundred. Ever..." She took the shoes from him, turning to follow the attendant to their lane. "I don't think I'll be any better in this condition so dont expect me to be making any bets."-
Covet: "Not tonight you aren't." He said with a smile. "All you have to do is stand there." He told her moving to help her down the steps so that they could sit down at their lane. He pulled his shoes on first really quick, before helping Steph with hers. " They even gave us the cheat roller that looks like a giraffe. Per special request."
Alexithymiaa: -She took a seat at their lane, leaning her crutch against the chair next to her before swinging her gaze over the children's roller, raising her brows before looking back at him. "Like I said... you're so different than most people." She leaned over, pecking his cheek.-
Covet: " I'm okay with being different. Different is nice." He said leaning into the kiss. He looked at the attendant, "Can we get a small dry towel?" He asked then went to the dinning area to get a stool for Steph. Putting the towel underneath so it didn't scratch the floor, that way she could sit down and still bowl without having to get up and down each time. "I'll bring your ball to you, I don't want you to have to juggle a bowling ball, and a crutch. That's asking for a disaster."
Alexithymiaa: "You know I can walk. It's okay. It's probably better for me to be on my feet at least a little bit. The ball would be bad, but walking is okay." She pulled herself up from the seat, leaning on the crutch and limping up to the lane where the roller and the stool were positioned. "You didn't have to do all of this..."-
Covet: "Well yeah, but I don't konw how long this is going to take. And I'd rather be prepared, so that you can enjoy all this. And yes I did to, you said you needed something fun, I'm trying to do my best here." He went back to the computer really quick to get their names set up, using their nicknames accordingly. "You're first." He told her getting the ball over to the roller for her.
Alexithymiaa: "You always do incredibly. You're like the best support system in existence." She reached out to take the ball from him, resting it on the top of the roller for a moment before pushing it hard down it so it would roll with enough speed to actually knock pins down with it made it down there. When it took a few pins down directly in the middle, she smiled, turning to look back at him. "That's probably like the most I've ever knocked down in one throw. Roll? One roll."-
Covet: " Roll, throw, same thing." He said with a laugh. waiting for her ball to come back up so that he could hand it to her. "Are we going to print out the end results so you can hang them on the fridge? We won't tell anyone that we had all this to help us win."
Alexithymiaa: "Probably not since it's still not going to be anything worth bragging about." She said with a laugh, taking the ball from him and turning to put it on the roller. She pushed it down, watching it go through the empty hole in the middle between the pins. "I guess I should probably move this thing to aim, right?"-
Covet: "Or you could just spin the ball when you roll it down the lane. Your choice" He told her then made his way over to where she was at, and straddled the end of the roller, facing towards her with his ball in his hand. He bent over and rolled the ball between his legs, watching it bounce back and forth between the bumpers.
Alexithymiaa: "Oh, are you going to show me how to do that?" She asked until she watched him actually take his turn, wincing a little. "Or you know... that works too. You could just grandma the shit out of this game. Or be a pinball wizard. Should I call you Tommy?"-
Covet: He watched the ball, miss all the pins and fall into the gutter after the bumpers ended. "It doesn't matter, we don't have to play by the rules. We can do whatever we want." He told her with a grin, " I can show you the spin thing though. " He told her, once his ball came back up, he walked over to the roller and used the holes to spin the ball in place before he pushed it down the roller. It did a wide curve and hit the front pin. " That was probably a little fast of a spin, but that's how you do it."
Alexithymiaa: "Not even a chuckle over my The Who joke? Really? Ow." She smirked, watching him spin the ball and send it down the lane, pursing her lips. "This feels like something you've perfected with basketball."-
Covet: "None for you. Mostly because yeah, I'll be your pinball wizard, if you'll be my jukebox hero. Kay? Kay." He said getting her ball for her. "Yeah, pretty much. All balls spin, so it's just a matter of spinning it like you need to, to direct it."
Alexithymiaa: "Aw, I like Foreigner too." She said with a giggle, taking the ball from him. "I'm pretty sure not ALL balls spin. Just... so we're clear." She leaned forward to rest the ball on the roller, trying to spin it the way he'd just done which he made look easy before sending it down to the lane. It took a hard curve into the bumper, bouncing its way back and clipping the end pin only. "I have no control over this."-
Covet: "You've still got more points than I do at this point." Felix said with a laugh, then shook his head, "Yeah no, if those balls spin that hurts, Testicular Torsion is no joking matter." He said with a cringe. He brought her ball back over to her once it back back up again.
Alexithymiaa: "Well then I guess you're not very good at this either." She took the ball and just shoved it hard down the roller, sending it knocking into the pins to known down all, but two. "You really need to step up your game here, Tommy."-
Covet: "I am when I actually play, but this is just for fun." He said stucking his tongue out at her. He watched her roll the ball and gave a clap, "Hey, there you go, that was a good roll"
Alexithymiaa: "Well then let's see what you're made of." She said with a smirk, giving the roller a shove so it would move out of his way. "Now you need to beat my awesome roll."-
Covet: "Fine, but I'm not throwing it normal." He told her as he went to sit on the floor and pushed the ball down the lane with his feet, watching it slowly roll and take out four pins. "That wasn't too terrible."
Alexithymiaa: "That was not good. You could do so much better than that. Luck for you, you have one more try to suck less. And keep in mind this is coming from someone who sucks, so imagine how you look right now."-
Covet: "You can give me as much shit as you want, I'm not even trying over here, ergo.. your words have no effect on me." He said to her as he got up to get his ball. For this roll he laid down on his stomach, spread eagle on the floor, one eye closed the other open as he lined up his roll, which did not account for the general lean of the floor and slowly started drifting along the bumpers and missing all the other 6 pins.
Alexithymiaa: -She watched wide eyed as he took his turn on the floor, letting out a deep sigh. "As someone who literally thrives off competition... you're killing me, smalls."-
Covet: "Woman, I didn't come to compete, I'm having fun! And trying new things. I'm sorry if that's killing your short ass." He said with a smirk from his spot on the ground. "I'd just like to add, that it is a very nice ass though. Specially at this angle."
Alexithymiaa: -She smiled, moving her hand up to push her hair back behind her ear as she blushed. "Imagine what it will look like once I have full use of my legs again and I'm not sitting on it all the time. I'll finally get to go back to dance again."-
Covet: "I could imagine it lots of ways," He said rolling to his side, propping himself up in the sexy pose, leg up and bent even. " but, regardless it will always look great. Just cause it's a part of you."
Alexithymiaa: -She looked down at him, chewing on her lower lip as she studied him in his sexy pose. "Are you just fishing for something, here?"-
Covet: "What me? Fishing? No, though, going fishing does sound fun. Maybe this weekend We can take a short drive, some where easy?" He asked her with a smile. "Just a day trip or something."
Alexithymiaa: "That sounds nice. We can do that. On one condition though..." She paused, eyeing him. "You have to bait my hook and take whatever fish I catch, off of it."-
Covet: "Is this a texture thing, or a you can't stand to harm the fish thing?" Felix asked her as he raised an eyebrow at her.
Alexithymiaa: -Her lip curled, her shoulders shivering. "Both? Call me a city girl if you want, but I can't do it. I've come a long way from how I was before, but I just can't do it."-
Covet: Felix rolled his eyes, "Only because it's you, I won't force you to do it, though it is a common rule in fishing that to participate, you have to bait." He said with a smile at her, " I think it's still your turn.
Alexithymiaa: "Well thank you for sparing me the rule. I feel so special." She stuck her tongue out at him, sliding up and off of her stool. "Well someone was too busy lying on the floor to get my ball." Limping over to the ball return, she stuck her fingers in the halls of the ball so she could grip it with one hand, limping back over to the roller to sort of just heavily drop it on it and send the ball down onto the lane. Which it took its sweet ass time getting down only to tap a couple pins.-
Covet: "Oh shit.. right. Sorry." Felix said getting up as he watched her closely while she hobbled about. He was able to get it the second time in order to hand it to her. "C'mon now you were doing better than that, What happened Red?"
Alexithymiaa: "I have no drive to do better because there's no one to beat. Therefore mediocrity has taken over and beat me down into submission." She said dramatically, taking the ball from him.-
Covet: "Pffft. There's not a single damn thing that is mediocre about you, Red. But nice try." Felix told her setting the ball down in front of her.
Alexithymiaa: "Clearly my bowling is." She said with a laugh, letting out a yawn. "Ugh, I'm sobering up and I'm starting to feel the stiffness in my right side again." She placed the ball in position at the top of the roller, giving it a hard shove down to send it into the pins at the end of the lane, knocking down half of the remaining. "You need to have at least one good frame before we call it a night."-
Covet: "I'm sorry, I can try and rub it out to get you to relax when we get home if that will help?" He asked her as he got up and went to grab his ball, helping her get things moved out of the way. He threw the ball normally, but not super hard or anything, watching it boringly roll down the lane and leave with with a 3 pin split at the end of the lane. "Well it won't be this frame"
Alexithymiaa: "I would love that." She said with a small smile, watching his ball roll down the lane. "What are you talking about? You got almost all of them down on your first try! That's awesome."-
Covet: "Sure, but that is a split, so I'm not even going to get them all. " He said back, grabbing his ball to throw it again, only hitting the ones on the side that had 2 pins.
Alexithymiaa: "Who cares? You got almost all of them. That's like one pin away from perfect. Stop talking this down." She waved him off, yawning again. "Okay, are we supposed to put this stuff back or....?"-
Covet: "At least our shoes." He said going to sit down so that he could take his bowling shoes off, and put his normal street shoes back on, helping Steph do the same before walking with her up to the desk to return them, and get the door for her.
Alexithymiaa: "First class service. I'm impressed." She said, leaning in to kiss him before making her way out the door with him.-
