Hellbound With You (WN)

As the main page showed up on the screen, Alex looked at Abi with astonishment. This was the game she wanted to play? Why was she so excited about it?

He felt like he wanted to facepalm himself. But then, again, what the hell was he expecting with this little lamb? He couldn ’t believe that he was going to play something like this. Suddenly, he wanted to leave but when he looked at the excited girl beside him, he closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa, looking like he was trying to convince himself to bear with it for now.

Abigail on the other hand was very, very excited.

”Here we go. Get ready, Alex! ” she exclaimed and then, the game started. Abi tried to get used to controlling her character using the buttons on the controller. She pressed each button to find out what each one did and in no time at all, she was controlling her character like a pro – well, not really, but to her, it felt like it.

Alex lazily played, with a deadpan expression. He was obviously bored.

After just five minutes of staring at the moving characters on the screen, Alexander looked like he was done. He turned towards Abigail to tell her that they were going to play for only ten more minutes but the instant he saw her face, he got a little distracted. It was because he found her expressions amusing and before he knew it, he could no longer concentrate on the game at all. He was distracted by her as he watched all the different expressions that went through her face. He could tell that she was very much enjoying herself, from the wide smiles and the bright stars in her eyes.

He watched as her little tongue adorably poked out from the corner of her mouth out when she was concentrating very hard, watched how her body tilted to the left or right depending on what direction she wanted her character to go towards and watched how her body jumped, as if she was the character itself.

”Hey, pay attention! ” she ordered. He was brought back to the present and his lips curled up because of her bossy words.

”I am, ” he replied, still looking at her.

She didn ’t take her eyes off the screen because she was trying hard not to die. ”Then why do you keep falling down the same hole? ”
