"Alright, PS4 it is," Kaz said, walking back over to the TV. He knelt down in front of it, rummaging through a couple of games, trying to find something that was multiplayer. "Uh…Aha!" he said, pulling Rocket League out from a pile of games. He sat back up, grabbing the two controllers and handed one to Vaughn
(Oh my gosh that’s a fun game lmao)
Vaughn held the controller, looking at it with a furrowed brow. He never played many video games as a child, and he didn’t have that good of teenage years. “How do I do this?” He asked.
(yep, whenever I play it it's absolute chaos lol) "Well, this thing moves your character, this one lets you look around, this is forward, that's backwards, that's boost, and that's jump," he said, pointing to the different buttons. He reached over to grab the remote off the coffee table, switching the TV from the NASA program to the PS4. He hit a few buttons until the game loaded, and then he reached over to press the button that let Vaughn's controller work with the game. "Okay, there we go. Do you wanna be on my team or on the other team?"
(Lmao same)
Vaughn watched as Kaz pointed to the various buttons on the controller. He nodded slowly as he explained, and looked back up at Kaz’s face. “I’ll just do your team.”
"Alright cool." Kaz pressed a few more buttons, and then they were on the same team. All the other players were AI on easy mode, and the countdown to start the round started. "It's basically soccer with cars, so you gotta use your car to beat the other guys to the ball." He smiled. "Ready player two?"
Vaughn arched a brow. Soccer with cars? He played soccer as a kid, but this was just strange. “Uh, yeah, sure,” he answered, looking at the screen.
The game started, and within a few moments it was absolute chaos. Instead of putting all the bots on easy mode like he had thought, Kaz had accidentally put them all on hard mode. He was laughing while yelling a little at the bots, absolutely confused why the game had suddenly become so difficult
“I believe you messed something up,” Vaughn spoke up, fumbling with the buttons for a minute before slowly getting the hand of it.
"Yep, nope, pretty sure I pressed a wrong button somewhere," he laughed, before yelling a string of curses that sounded vaguely like "Fuckmothershit!" before getting full-on rammed into by the other team and watching his car explode for the 5th time that game. He sighed, laughing a little as he did
“Never took you for the type to curse that much,” Vaughn commented, glancing over at Kaz.
"Well, I try not to do it much around people I don't know all that well. But when you've gotten your car blown up 5 times in a video game, it makes it a little difficult not to curse," he said. His car hit the ball into the goal, and he grinned. A screen that said they had won the match popped up, and Kaz laughed a little. "Well look at that, we won by a whole point."
“Mhm,” Vaughn hummed, watching the screen again and looking at the pop up. He leaned back against the couch, shoulders slouching as he did so as he relaxed a tad. “Yeah, that was a bit difficult.”
"You wanna play another round, or do you want to do something else?" Kaz asked, slouching against the arm of the couch
“We could do something else, I don’t understand these games..” Vaughn murmured, setting the controller down on his lap.
"Okay, no problem," he said, turning the TV off and setting his controller on the coffee table out of laziness. "You have something in mind? I, um. I don't get many visitors, so I don't really have stuff in the apartment to do," he said, resting his head in one hand
(lowkey trying to brainstorm ways to get them to do something dumb and romantic lmao)
(Lmao same uh)
“You think I get visitors? You’ve gotta be kidding me,” Vaughn said with a dry laugh before going silent again.
"Yet another thing we have in common," Kaz said jokingly, sinking into the couch. He frowned a little. "You know, you're always welcome to come over. Even if you, like. Just want to sit in the corner and read a book or something."
(oo wait what if they somehow accidentally fell asleep on each other)
(Oo, that could happen. Vaughn is a bit of an insomniac, so that would most likely happen Lmao)
“Wouldn’t want to bother,” Vaughn muttered, tilting his head up to he was looking at the ceiling.
(yeah Kaz doesn't know what sleep is either so he'd probably accidentally just..pass out)
"It's not a bother, really," Kaz insisted. "It's actually…kinda nice having people over."
(This should get interesting ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°))
Vaughn nodded slowly, but he wasn’t sure if he agreed. He was used to being alone. Working alone, living alone… He did everything alone.
(( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) lmao) Kaz leaned back against the back of the couch. He hadn't really slept in a few days, and could feel himself getting drowsy
Vaughn ran a hand over his face. The couch was decently comfortable compared to his cot. It made him feel exhausted.
