Alex had never really been interested in computer games - sure he was quite good at Mario Kart, but other that that...

He smiled as he walked into the games arcade, having a feeling he was needed when he saw the blonde haired boy sitting by himself on a two player game. Silently he slipped into the seat beside Marco and put in his money. Pressing the buttons to get him set up he then turned to smile cheekily at the other boy. "Okay...just because I totally beat you on the bumper cars, doesn't mean i'll be nice on this," he teased, making sure his feet were on the right pedals.

Alex smiled cheekily at the comment about the kiss, but didn't agree to it. He just had to make sure he would win so he could get out of it. Though, with his gaming skills, it was highly unlikely. He bit his lip as the countdown began on the screens. Three, two, one...

They were off, both like rockets speeding down the pixelated highway. Alex grinned, he wasn't as bad as he thought he'd been. Looking over to Marco's screen he saw they were neck and neck. Well...this was going to be a close race.

Alex laughed as his car veered off the road and into a barrier. It took him ages to get back on the road again. He sighed as he turned the next corner. Marco was way ahead of him, he had no chance...unless...Alex bit his lip and, using his psychokinetisis, pulled out the plug for Marco's console. He grinned as Marco's screen went black and a little red light came on above his seat to show the attendant that his game had broken.

A few moments later Alex crossed the finish line, having overtaken Marco's abandoned car. Grinning he got out of his seat and picked up his bag, "Good game," he grinned - at least Nick wouldn't get angry at him for kissing someone else now.

"Soda sounds good," Alex agreed as he slung his bag over his shoulder. He smiled as Marco lead the way up the stairs to the small food court. The thing boy tried to keep his eye focused, but they kept wandering, as if worried Nick was going to pop out from behind a plant pot or something and catch him talking to another boy. He was never sure where things stood with Nick - it was obvious he wasn't allowed to be with Josh or Jace, but what about everyone else? Would it even extend to girls as well? They were still able to get him drunk. Alex bit his lip and jogged a little way to catch up with the other boy. Well, it wasn't like they were going to kiss or anything, it was just a friendly drink...right?

"I'll just have an apple," Alex said quietly as he made his way over to a table and sat down. It wasn't that he didn't want to be seen with Marco - it probably didn't matter to Nick anyway. The ring on his finger had proved that, but still. He didn't like to think the other boy still thought of him as a whore. He had got past all that now. He only wanted one boy, and Alex had him. So there was nothing to worry about. He smiled as Marco made his way over to the table. "I suppose now, you'll just have to accept I'm better than you at everything," he joked, leaning back casually in his chair.
