First story! Starting off with Itaru since he's one of my favorite characters ~ also sorry if there's any spelling errors or just bad grammar overall.

The sounds of the controller fills up the room. Izumi sitting down on the couch watching 2 guys playing a game. Why exactly am I here again? Izumi thought for a moment until she thought of the reason. I can't believe I said yes when Banri asked me if I would like to play a certain game with him and Itaru. Izumi sighs and then get frustrated as she hears Itaru screaming out.
"You fool! How could you not see that sniper right in front of you?"
"Shut up dude! Not my fault." Banri said back.
Itaru rolls his eyes at Banri and then looks at Izumi and smiles. "Your up next, don't even think about getting up and leaving." His eyes locks with hers for a second as he's telling her that before looking away back to the screen.
Izumi sighs again and decided to actually pay attention to the game they are playing. It looks like a 6v6 game? Hmm, I wonder if any of those characters like curry....shoot I'm craving for some curry now. Izumi zones out for a bit until she hears the screaming again.
"WHAT?! How the hell did she got away with 1 HP?? ONE HP?" Banri yells.
"That's because your bad at the game" Itaru chuckles.
*In case you want to know the game they are playing. It's called Overwatch. (Since I am a huge fan of Overwatch, I decided to pick it as the game in this story)
Few minutes has past until a huge word came up on screen. "Defeat" it shows.
"THIS GAME IS RIGGED" Banri yells almost throwing the controller.
"Hey HEY!" Itaru yells back. "Even if your mad, don't even think about breaking my damn controller, your just mad because your bad dude."
"Whatever" Banri says and looks at Izumi. "Your next I guess."
"Well no, I'll actually be going now.. you guys can finish your game.." Izumi says while getting up going straight to the door. As walking to the door she felt a tight grip holding her arm. She looks and it's Itaru.
"Didn't I told you don't even think about getting up and leaving a couple minutes ago?" Itaru says, still holding her arm. "Come on, it'll be fun! You won't even be playing against real people, I'll make it so you play against easy bots!" Itaru says as Banri lets out a laugh.
"Fine, but just this ONCE, I did agree to play when Banri asked me anyways." Izumi says staring at Itaru.
Itaru lets go of her arm. "Here." Itaru says while giving her the controller. "Lets go sit down."
As siting down, Izumi faces the huge screen right in front of her. The controller feels so weird in her hands. How do I use this again? It's been a while since I've even used a controller. She stares at the screen while Itaru is helping her find finding a game versing easy bots.
"Well imma head out, I told Muku I was going to help him solve this huge box filled with puzzles that he got this morning." Banri says walking towards the door.
"Alright, see you later." Itaru says as Banri walks out of the room, closing the door.
Few seconds has pass and the game was found. "Finally, took a while but the game is now found." Itaru says sitting down next to Izumi. "If you need help with any of this stuff, then just ask me." Itaru says smiling at Izumi.
The game leads Izumi into picking which characters she would like to play. Wow, that's a lot of characters.. which one should I pick? Is there a character that enjoys curry? Hehe, I would pick that character for sure. Izumi laughs out loud of the thought of her own words, as she's laughing she looks at Itaru with a confused look on his face. "Don't ask." Izumi says leading her looking back at the screen figuring out which characters to pick. Hmmmm..
"If you don't know which character to pick, I'd say pick her." Itaru points at the screen. The character he pointed was an angelic medical doctor. "She doesn't require aim, so she's great for starters!" Itaru says as Izumi picks her. The game now shows you playing it in first person.
After picking the character, Izumi starts to play around with the controller, figuring out which buttons which while also being frustrated because she has no idea what she's doing.
"What do I do? Which button is to shoot? How can- why is this one guy spamming "I need healing??" Izumi says in a frustrated tone as hearing Itaru laughing. "Hahaha, you really are a total noob, you know?" Itaru says while getting closer to Izumi. "Here, I'll show you the controls." Itaru grabs the controller off her hands. "So this button is the right trigger button, you use this button to heal people.. blah blah blah blah..." Izumi zones out staring at the controller in Itaru's hand seeing what he was doing. Only then she started staring at Itaru. Wow, he gets even more cuter as he's talking about this kind of stuff.. Izumi continues staring at Itaru while he's explaining until Izumi had a shock reaction. WAIT, did I just said "even more cuter?" Not cool, Izumi.. Not cool. Don't fall for him. Nope nope I totally never said that. Izumi gets a weird feeling going around in her stomach.
"And that's all the controls, you got it?" Itaru says handing the controller back to Izumi. "Actually....." Izumi starts speaking until the word "Victory" came up on the screen.
"Hahaha! Wow you didn't even had to do anything and you won.. damn your team carried you and you didn't even exit out of spawn!" Itaru says while Izumi is shocked. "I won? Wow I finally won a game for once!" Izumi says laughing with Itaru.
"I knew you weren't even paying attention." Itaru says, now looking at Izumi in the eyes.
"What?" I totally was!" Izumi says with a small grin on her face.
"Really? Which button is this then?" Itaru points at the button leaving Izumi speechless. "I uh- that's the left trigger right?" Izumi says. "What? Haha, you see what I'm pointing to? This button is the Y button. It even shows 'Y' to even know that it's the Y button." Itaru says with a huge smile on his face.
"I knew you were just staring at me." Itaru continues leaving Izumi having a small blush appearing on her face. "You admiring me? Haha, I guess you've fallen for me huh?" Itaru says while getting closer to Izumi, leaving a now bigger blush appearing on her face.
On the floor, Itaru is now inches away from Izumi's face. Those pink eyes staring at her eyes.
"You know, your really something." Itaru says, poking her nose. "W-w-what? Lalala I can't hear you!" Izumi says in a teasing voice. "Haha, here, shouldn't you be helping Omi with dinner?" Itaru says while standing up, holding a hand for her to grab. Izumi grabs the hand and Itaru pulls her up, Itaru is still inches away from her face.
"I-I y-yeah! I do have to help with Omi, I almost totally forgot! Thanks for the reminder!" Izumi says with a huge smile on her face.
"Then maybe you should get going." Itaru says "Or maybe you would like to play an other game with me?" Itaru says in a deep voice. "Hahaha, nope I'm fine! Also tell Banri to never let me get involve into playing your video games!" Izumi says, backing away from Itaru walking towards the door. Her face is now as red as a tomato. Izumi opens the door and looks back, seeing Itaru giving her a small grin and waving goodbye. Izumi now faces the other way towards the exit.
As she exits the door going to close it from behind, she felt a tight pull coming up from behind her, turning her around into the lips of Itaru. The kiss was short, but sweet, and it definitely made Izumi's face at the end even redder than it already was. As the kiss was over, Izumi is speechless. She looks into the smiling, handsome, guy inches off her face. Those pink eyes giving meaning to her. Itaru leans his face into her ear whispering "I won't tell Banri to stop asking you to play games with us, in fact.. I'll try to get him to ask you every, single day. Your to adorable to tease." A soft laugh comes out of his mouth. "I'll see you later, and next time, make sure your paying attention to the game." Itaru says pulling away going into his room closing the door.
A frozen Izumi is standing right outside Itaru's door. What is this? I can't move- I can't. Izumi stops herself before noticing that Itaru KISSED HER ON THE LIPS. At this point Izumi is really shocked. At the end however, a huge smile appears on her face as she's walking away from Itaru's room, going to help Omi.
Lets just hope Masumi never finds out.
