『 I Won't Run Anymore』

Part 22 - Meeting

"Alice! You're cheating I swear!"

I laughed lightly and stared down at the board game as I moved my character up the line and to the finish for emphasis of my victory before I fell back into my seat with a wide grin. Daiki puffed heavily and flopped back into his opposite sofa in a much more ungraceful manner than I had.

"One more game!"

"You always say that."

I moved forward again to pick up the small pieces from the board, placing them back into their original boxed position of the white plastic holder as Daiki flung himself forward briskly in a gamer rage.

"I don't lose! This must be some kind of demon trick of yours!"

My body slumped lightly into the sofa once I had placed the army man piece back into its moulded plastic home, face falling a little as I did so at the name... I could handle Banshee... But demon...

"Shit... I'm sorry Alice."

I shook my head, turning to look up at the overly panicked male with a smirk forcing its way across my face, eyes narrowing in a challenging manner.

"Forget it you loser. You're just bummed 'cause I kick your ass at everything."

Daiki's depressed form tensed, an irk mark appearing on his head as he thrust his body over to the games console in the corner.

"Then let's play a good video game! I won't lose at that!"

~~~

"FUUUCK! This game is glitched I tell ya! It's an old game so glitches are-"

"Yeah, yeah. The makers are to blame, it has nothing to do with the fact that you suuuuck!"

I stood from my seated position, dancing around on the spot as I purposely caught Daiki's annoyed glance on my way around my victory dance.

"You suck, you suck, you suuuuck, you suck! You su- ah!"

A weight pressed heavily and forcefully against my side, dragging me to the sofa as I dropped the controller in my hand in my shock. Laugh leaving my lips as I realised I had pissed off the male as intended.

"Take it back! Say I'm the best at games!"

"Never!"

I laughed heartily as Daiki tickled my sides, trying his best to get me to cave as his fingers dug themselves into a home just above my hips.

"Saaaaay iiiit!"

"Noooooo!"

I laughed continuously for a while, my pitch picking up as Daiki continued his relentless attack to my sides. My breathing was becoming heavy cut as my mind flooded with happiness at the small laughs he was giving me in return.

D-Daiki... stop!"

"Naaaaah! Give it up woman!"

I laughed even harder, tears forming in the corners of my eyes as I continued and struggled to try and catch my breath from the continuous attack I had pleaded from, but he wouldn't win!

"N-No! Admit.... haha! You suuuck! Haha!"

"Neeever!"

His attack continued as he laughed alongside me, my body twitching violently from the waist down as it couldn't take much more.
