No, I just ran off the edge by accident!

[Shoved! Lio also feels shoved!]

[madburnout]

[HE KEEPS FORGETTING THAT. He has hassled the shit out of himself today twice already. Waving a hand at the screen.]

Make it go again.

[burningrescue]

You're a bad loser.

[Not making it go. Pointing at him.]</small? Everybody says I'm a bad winner, but you're worse!

[madburnout]

[Crossing his arms, defensive. But in a very childish way, which isn't helping the claims he's a sore loser.]

Make it go again.

[burningrescue]

Fine!

[Making it go again! But picking L*nk this time! Now he'll win even more.]

[madburnout]

[Same button-mashing deal! But Galo will get fit in the face with a full bag of Lio Excitement when he actually manages to knock Galo off the edge. Wow. He really is a bad loser and a bad winner.]

lol...

[burningrescue]

[He'd be grumpy, normally, because he's also a bad loser, but instead he's just happy because of Lio's happiness. Getting distracted, looking over at him, and then remembering to fight.

Next time Lio's cornering him, though, he glances at the screen, glances at Lio, glances at the screen, and then leans over to kiss him.]

[madburnout]

[You huge dumbass, you can't try the Kiss Distraction trick if you're just gonna get distracted too, on account of the deadly Kissing Feedback Loop. Did you learn nothing from the mistakes of Mammon and Melt?

Anyway, just. Kissed, I guess. What the fuck. I mean, I guess the distraction does work. He's very distracted. No one is playing the game.]

[burningrescue]

[He was already distracted before the feedback loop, let's be real. Link was falling to his death before Galo made a move at all. Now he's just dropping the controller so he can kiss him more, hand on the couch on the other side of Lio to brace him, because Lio hasn't stopped him yet and the plan quickly spiraled out of control??]

[madburnout]

[WAS THERE A PLAN. Again, I think Galo has to reexamine what he thinks a fucking plan is. That was not a plan. But, yeah, fine, Lio isn't exactly going to stop him, closing his eyes and sighing out, leaning forward to kiss him back. This is so quickly spiraling, like kissing while standing in between two funhouse mirrors. Weird.

On the other hand, he hasn't remembered to drop his controller, so that's also happening. Just got his hands in his lap holding a controller while Galo starts to climb over him to try and kiss him so he can win at video games. Bad.]

[burningrescue]

[Was the plan to win at video games, or was the plan to kiss Lio. Because the second plan seems to be going pretty well. He isn't really expecting Lio to kiss him back like that - just like in the garden, he was expecting this to be quick and then Lio would get mad and punch him. But sure, this way is fine, too!]

[madburnout]

[That is also not a plan. That's just kissing Lio, and then pretending that was the plan.

Lio doesn't seem all that mad. In fact, he isn't mad at all, because he's just thinking kissing thoughts? And then feeding off of Galo's kissing thoughts, who is feeding off of his kissing thoughts, and back and forth forever. Eventually remembering he can abandon the controller and actually reach up to put his arms around Galo's shoulders instead, so. Doing that.]

[burningrescue]

[Oh, wow, you can do that? In that case, moving his hand to rest on Lio's thigh, since that's way better leverage. Oh wow, also, are they just going to keep kissing until the execution happens and this horrible feedback loop breaks? Very possible.]

[madburnout]

[Very possible! Listen, it's been like. A long, terrible week, and if a stacked firefighter wants to kiss you on the gaming room couch like you are high schoolers at a house party, why would you turn down that opportunity. A real waste. He didn't want to think for a little while about sad things, and this is very much the opposite of sitting and thinking about sad things.

But i guess someone has to be the coward here. Lio pulls back, a little shock finally settling in, arms still around Galo's shoulders (Galo's hand definitely still on his thigh). His brow knits deeply.]

. . . You tricked me.

[Is that. A joke.]

[burningrescue]

[Kind of staring back at him, a little loopy, until he recognizes what Lio is saying. And he snorts a laugh. His feelings right now are - warm, and happy, and extremely dumb. Something like letting your guard down and being a little drunk. So enjoy that, Lio.]

I sure did.

[madburnout]

[Yeah and it SUCKS.

No, it doesn't, it actually feels pretty great to not be, like, epically sad for one hot second. Anyway, that joke was good so suck on that, bitch. He is good at jokes. Looking back up at him, like he's not quite sure what to do now that it's ended. He was the one that ended it, so really it's his move, but.]

You're in the way of the screen.

[burningrescue]

[Are they. Are they just going to go back to playing this game. God. Galo just. Nods. And moves out of the way?]

Whoops! Sorry! I think we died, though?

[madburnout]

[Wait is he actually going? It was clearly a tease (it was not clear), so just. Watching him move out of the way and go sit on his end of the couch. Staring at him.]

Ah.

[burningrescue]

[He really couldn't tell, because Lio is not good at jokes. Also, he's just generally flustered and confused? But it's more of an awkward middle school romance how do I kiss boy type of confused rather than feeling rejected confused. He thinks maybe going back to video games is a normal thing to do?]

Uh...

[madburnout]

[Normally he'd be much more confident about this sort of thing, considering he's not a sad virgin, but Galo's flustered confusion is . . . obviously infectious at this point, so. Also flustered and confused. Looking straight again then, finding the controller again.]

. . . Do it again.

[burningrescue]

[Do what again, Lio! Do what again! The game? The kiss? God. Instead of in a horny feedback loop, now they're in a flustered feedback loop. Nodding, as though he understands, because the answer to both is yes?

Going. . .to the character selection screen. . .]

[madburnout]

[He kind of meant both? But Galo getting more flustered, so now he's more flustered, and this is somehow worse than the horny feedback loop. They should have just kissed until execution. Why didn't they just do that.

. . . Selecting . . . a character . . . ]

[burningrescue]

[Link again. Yay. Just going to. Button mash against him. This is terrible.]

[madburnout]

[Lio wants to DIE





But instead I guess he's playing this fucking video game? He is barely trying.]

[burningrescue]

[He's barely trying either! This sucks!]
