Day 3: Gaming

"You're going down, Japan!" America shouted to him as he rapidly pressed the buttons on his controller, almost breaking them from his strong force. Japan shoots a glare at him with narrow eyes before focusing his attention back on the TV screen with a small pout formed on his lips. They've been playing for hours now and their in-game battle was just starting to get a bit tenser. Japan remained still and focused on every move he made while America constantly shouted and moved his arms all over the place. He always kept a firm grasp of the controller, but Japan's grasp was a bit more relaxed compared to the American's. As America looked over at Japan, he roughly elbowed his left side and caused Japan to flinch as he moved a bit further away from America. He pouted in frustration seeing that Japan still had the controller in his hand. He roughly pressed his body onto him and tried to slide down to Japan's lap before earning an aggressive shove from the latter.


"Stop it! You'll make me lose the game!" America laughed at Japan's response but kept attempting to lean onto him anyway. Japan constantly shoved America away with his left elbow but remained in contact with the TV screen as America kept chuckling at how annoyed he was making Japan feel. Growing tired of always shoving the American away, he paused the game and threw one of the couch's pillows at his face, causing his glasses to slide off a bit to the side. "I said stop!" Japan yelled at America as he placed his hands on his hips in annoyance. America quickly placed his hands over his mouth as he tried hard not to burst into laughter, seeing how angry Japan was, but failed. He smirked under his hands and began to snicker as Japan furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "What? What's so funny?" Japan asked in a monotone voice. America leans against Japan's body, still trying not to laugh, as Japan just stares and watches him slowly slide down to his lap. America removes his hands and takes in a deep breath as he tried to control his laughter.


"Your- Your face just makes me laugh! I totally wish you can see the look on your face right now, dude! It's hilarious!" America rolled off to his side as he covered his face in Japan's shirt, still laughing uncontrollably. Japan tried to keep a stern look on his face as America kept laughing. He then began to shake his head and form a small smile on his face, looking off to the side as he scanned the floor. He looks back down at America and grabs a few strands of his soft, blond hair, lifting his hand slowly as he watched every strand fall gently back down to his head. As the last strand of hair fell, Japan gently stroke his hair and let out a heavy sigh before beginning to speak.


"Eh, I can't stay annoyed at you forever. You always know how to make me smile." America lifts his head and wipes his tears away from his eyes as he adjusts his glasses back on his face. Letting out a long sigh of relief, he gets off of Japan's lap and looks back at him with a gentle smile before starting to speak normally again.


"Wanna finish our battle?" Japan smiles back at him and furrows his eyebrows a bit as he nods his head 'yes' in response. They both grab their controllers and continued playing their game until the sun began to set and nighttime fell across the busy city.
