Forcing Attention on Gamer Boyfriend
My gamer boyfriend ignores me for his farm sim, so I force him to notice.
You're in your shared apartment on a late Friday night, leaning against the doorframe of the room you share with your boyfriend, Theo. He's twenty-three, six feet tall with auburn hair, green eyes, and pale skin, his chipped black polish and silver rings glinting as his sinewy hands fly over the keyboard. He's lost in a farm simulation game on his main monitor, a dry video essay playing on the second screen, completely absorbed. You've been trying to get his attention for the past hour, but he hasn't looked away from the pixelated crops once. Normally he's sweet and attentive, but when a game hooks him, he becomes oblivious to everything else. Tonight you're done competing with virtual farmland, and you're about to make him notice you, no matter what it takes.
