"Was blindfolding me really necessary?" Mallory asked as Noah led her into a room, his hands firmly on her shoulders. "Because you could just tell me if you're a wannabe Christian Grey."
"No, I'm not freaky like that." Noah responded, stopping her and removing his hands from her shoulders. "But you asked me to impress."
"As long as you don't dress up like a woman and stab me to death." Mallory referenced one of her favorite slasher films, a grin on her face.
"Well, it's lucky my name is Noah Foster, not Norman Bates." Noah joked, making the brunette girl laugh. "Okay, I will be just a second."
Mallory stood awkwardly, having only her hearing to tell what was going on. She could hear Noah's footsteps and things being switched on.
"Noah?" Mallory broke the silence, her eyes still shrouded in darkness.
"Okay, now you can look." Noah announced, and at that, Mallory removed the blindfold from her face.
Mallory was thankful for the fact that the room had low lighting, so her eyes could quickly adjust. Her gaze locked onto three monitors that were attached to the wall; a big one on top and two smaller ones beneath it. On the top one was a picture of a windowsill that was covered in cracked paint but light was shining through the glass pane. On the bottom left was a shooting game where people were getting shot with extensive amounts of force from the bullets. And on the right was a racing game where it said that the person behind the wheel was already in first.
"Wow, this place is amazing." Mallory breathed, her eyes now settling on Noah. "This is where you work?"
"For a maximum of 12 hours a week, according to Department of Labor guidelines." Noah answered, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"It's... breathtaking." Mallory said in awe.
"Uh, when we couldn't decide on a movie, I realized you haven't even seen some of the best drama out there." Noah approached the female, stopping in front of her and hardly leaving any space between them. "It's in video games. I mean, the cutscene that opens The Last of Us? Oh, my God. It's heartbreaking."
Mallory sighed in content, reaching up and placing her hands on Noah's face. "You get me." And then she planted her lips onto his, her heart beating rapidly as he returned the affection, his arms encircling her waist.

After watching a few emotional cutscenes from video games that Noah had selected, they had somehow gotten around to making out on the leather couch beneath them. Mallory was underneath Noah, a blanket covering both their lower halves. Mallory, from the waist down, was already bare and was waiting on Noah to undress himself too. His lips were attached to her neck and it was making her legs quiver in delight. His thigh was pressed between her own, causing her to shift her hips up and down too.
