Drabble 2: Video Games
Ever since Sam Evans and Kurt Hummel told both their families that they were dating, it was surprising how easily they got used to seeing the boys hang out at each other’s house, to which both boys were quite appreciative. It was one thing to be taunted at school, but having supportive families definitely made up for it.
Well, except for Finn. He was a bit too freaked out at the idea of Sam and Kurt actually *dating* at first. But soon he realized that Sam was really good for Kurt. The speakers weren’t always blaring with Broadway soundtracks, Kurt actually started to be nice to Rachel when she came over, and lastly, he finally had someone else to play with on the PS3.
Kurt was sitting on the sofa next to Sam in the living room, presumably doing homework, one afternoon when Finn walked in after his study date with Rachel. He plopped down onto the lazy boy and nodded at them in greeting. “Finished with homework?”
Closing his Chemistry text book, Kurt sighed dramatically. “Yes. Finally!” Sam grinned at his boyfriend and proceeded to finish the last paragraph on his essay for Literature.
“Hey Sam. Wanna play ‘Halo’ after?” With a nod from Kurt, Sam quickly finished his essay while Finn rolled his eyes, thinking about how whipped the blond jock was.
As if he didn’t bend over backwards for his high-maintenance girlfriend.
Watching the game armed with a nail file in his hand, Kurt surveyed his stepbrother and boyfriend, laughing at the mock threats from the taller jock every time Sam blasted the head off Finn’s character.
“Come on, man! Show some mercy!”
“No way, Hudson! You gotta learn how to play with the big boys.”
Kurt rolled his eyes and brought out a copy of ‘Cosmopolitan’ from under the coffee table.
After another round and a groan of defeat from Finn, he suddenly shouted, “Kurt, you need to play!”
And Kurt thought, oh, shit.
He never really liked playing ‘Halo’ that much. Although he learned how to play from Finn just because the teen wanted someone to play with, he never actually enjoyed it. But after he learned enough and kept beating Finn, he decided that he didn’t want to bum his stepbrother out anymore.
“What? You can play?” Sam asked, shock written all over his face.
Kurt kept his face impassive. “Just a little.”
“A little?! Wait till you play him, Evans. Kurt has got this magic touch in ‘Halo,’ now let’s see if you can beat him.” Finn was obviously excited at having someone beat Sam; he never noticed the glare of pure hatred directed at him.
“No, I-I really don’t want to play.” He knew how video gamers took winning seriously, and Sam was one of the biggest gaming dorks in Lima; he didn’t want to bum him out by winning.
But then again, Kurt wanted to see how his boyfriend would react to him excelling in this seemingly-macho activity.
Grabbing the controller from a smirking Finn, he commented, “Hope you’re ready to lose, Sam.”
And the game began.
After a hard-hitting 8 wins against 9 in favor of Kurt, Sam was beginning to regret taking on this challenge. Never in their 2 months of dating had he even noticed that Kurt knew how to play ‘Halo,’ and damn, did his baby know how to play.
Sam won the next round and it was even, only 1 round left and victory will be claimed. Finn was so excited that he even got popcorn and was pointedly ignoring Rachel’s calls and texts for the past hour.
Unknown to both boys, Kurt was already bored. He was just keeping up the pretense of playing because Sam seemed pretty into it and… well, that was it. He saw an opportunity to finally hit it home when he caught the look of pure concentration on Sam’s face.
And then his character’s brains were blasted out.
At the level of shouting in the living room, the countertenor would’ve thought that Finn and Sam had won the lottery, or at least a football game.
Grinning widely, Sam sat back down next to Kurt and kissed him on the cheek. “You played a great game, hon, but I guess I was just too much for you.” The smaller teen rolled his eyes again and ruffled Sam’s hair.
“I guess you win this one.”
After an hour Sam finally went home. The boys were cleaning up the living room before their parents got home when Finn suddenly spoke up. “You’re such a liar, Kurt.”
“Excuse me?”
Finn put away the last of the CDs littering the table and pushed the cabinet door on the theater system closed. “You let Sam win.”
“I would ne-“
“Yes, you did. And don’t even bother lying to me, I saw you peeking into that girly magazine since round 4.”
Kurt smiled and placed his hand under his chin. “Fine, you caught me. But don’t let Sam know, okay?”
Finn was about to protest but one look into his stepbrother’s love struck eyes and then he nodded.
“Deal. But next time Rachel comes over, you have to let me win.”
The End
Keep the kum-ments coming!
