His tone was definitely bothering him, and it was hard to keep being happy-ish like that. He just sounded bored and distant, but Dave likes to think he does want to be there. If he didn't, hed say something, right? Probably.

He goes through a few rounds without losing, though he's coming close to dying now.

He'd taken to holding onto his knee with one hand, despite the fact that his head was still in his lap. He squeezed it every now and again, mainly when it looked like Dave was going to lose a round. It was like his version of cheering. Squeeze the boyfriend's knee.

He noted the health bar, and wondered how the next round would go.

●

Dave did notice that he was trying I cheer for him in a way, and that was enough for him to keep playing. He ended up furrowing his eyebrows, concentrating. He made this round longer than the others, with how focused he was on not losing, mostly becausr of eridan, but in the end he won

2015-09-21 05:46:11

🌀

He patted his knee once he'd won, actually managing a proper small smile at it. "Good job. So far the aj is still yours, Mr Captain Knight." He turned his head as much as he could to look up at him without hitting him with his horns. The small smile was still there, eternally grateful for providing this distraction despite the still obvious traces of tears and blankness that frequently clouded his eyes.

Dave smiled wide at him, putting the controller down for a second to run his fingers through Eridan's hair. "Are you content with my performance, Prince of sass and striped pants?" He teased

2015-09-21 05:52:32

🌀

"You forgot prince of seafolk and sea shanties. I'm that too." Hey, no one can say he doesn't try anymore. He's fucking trying his hardest and hey, Dave's smiling so it must work. "I'm content so far. Choose your worst character and do it again and then we'll see." A silent request for him not to stop, please.

2015-09-21 05:54:03

●

He nods, leaning down to peck his lips before he went back to the character menu to pick a new character. He figured he'd just pick someone he had no experience with. "I'm gonna be needing full on boyfriend cheering for this one. Meaning a lot of knee patting."

2015-09-21 05:59:32

🌀

He resumed his earlier position, curled up a little more and placing his hand on his knee again. "You'll get as many knee pats as I see fit." He squeezed his knee anyway, moving his hand only to grope around for the blanket to drag around himself. It wasn't like his security blankets back in his room, but it will do for now.

2015-09-21 06:01:04

●

He rolls his eyes, still smiling, and starts that round. He was clearly confused by the attacks, but he was trying to learn and kick butt at the same time.

2015-09-21 06:04:33

🌀

He patted his knee occasionally, as promised, and kept his focus on the tv. It was definitely doing it's job of distracting him further, even if it was a lot slower than he would've liked.

2015-09-21 06:05:56

●

He kinda pulls a quidditch narrator on Eridan. "And Dave had the upper hand, Dave is destroying the muscled sucker like he's a pile of candy on Halloween, hes nearly winning, this is insane! And- the crowd goes crazy for Strider!"

2015-09-21 06:09:18

🌀

That pulled a soft laugh from him, though even he was surprised by that. Ten to one Dave Strider then, pretty bastard is now Eridan's go to means for slump ruination. Excellent.

He pats his knee several times when he wins, cheek smushed against his leg as he watched him play.

2015-09-21 06:10:47

●

He grins at Eridan once his knee gets patted a ton of times. "I'm assuming I did good?" He was already starting another round.

2015-09-21 06:19:11

🌀

"You did admirably Mr Knight. Do continue." He squeezed his knee, tucking the blanket a little tighter around himself and settling close.

2015-09-21 06:19:49

●

Dave kept going for a long while, continuing the chat every now and then, but he was delighted to see the little improvements in his mood as the time passed

2015-09-21 06:20:30

🌀

By the time Dave had gotten through a few more rounds, Eridan's mood had lifted substantially. He knew, on some level of thinking, that as soon as the distraction had faded he will remember and may even slump again, but for now he was in a more sociable and easier mood to deal with.

2015-09-21 06:21:43

●

"Do I get a kiss if I can win this one? It will be the 20th in a row." He said in a sing song tone, smirking

2015-09-21 06:22:49

🌀

"Maybe." He tilted his head back to look at him, a little smile on his face now. He didn't end up looking back at the screen as the round started, instead focusing on Dave's face.

2015-09-21 06:23:40

●

Dave fake pouted, but couldn't keep himself from smiling right after. "Only maybe?"

2015-09-21 06:25:04

🌀

"Maybe, maybe not." He teased, fins giving a little wiggle as he shifted so that he was looking up at him properly.

2015-09-21 06:25:49

●

"You're so mean Eridan, a mean meaner." He laughed softly.

He kept up the narration style that seemed to make him happy, and in the end he almost lost, but alas he did not.

2015-09-21 06:27:20

🌀

"I am mean. Very mean. That's like, the entirety of my being. I'm a meaner." He rolled his eyes, and rolled to bury his face in his stomach. In doing so he missed seeing whether Dave won or not, and would probably decide to be a little shit about it.

2015-09-21 06:28:22

●

Dave was narrating it though, so he'd definitely use that as well.

He snickers as he pets Eridan's hair. "Your knight has won many battles for you, he as been fighting for many suns and many moons, I think he deserves a little smooch."

2015-09-21 06:30:02

🌀

"My knight has fought valiantly. But he is, alas, out of reach of my lips, so the smooch will be in the lacking." He turned his head enough to look at him, a small smile curving up his lips.

2015-09-21 06:30:58

●

"But the knight can put himself in a close vicinity of your lips, so that e may get the smooch." He smirks, bopping his forehead.
