Arthur is a n00b
Elizabeth’s P.O.V
I blinked. Right in front of me was a sight that I never thought I’d see. Artie was holding Call of Duty. “What?” I asked.
He sighed and repeated himself, “Would you like to play some Call of Duty with me.” I blinked, so I had heard him right.
“Uhhh, you play?” I asked, he nodded. “Um, sure?” I walked over to the couch, still unsure of what was going on. Artie. Playing Call of Duty. Too weird. I took the game from him and put it in, tossing him a controller that he barely managed to catch. I sat down, as far away from him as I could and pressed start.
*About five minutes later*
“How are you dead already! The round just started!” I yelled.
“I ran out of ammo!” He yelled back.
“Then switch guns! Or don't miss the zombies so much! I thought you knew how to play!”
“I’ve played once with Alfred! Just hurry up and revive me!” I made my way through the zombies and managed to revive him. I smiled as a single song popped into my head.
“Hey, Artie, I just thought of your theme song.”
“Artie? Dont call me that!” He said, but I had already started singing.
“Ohhhh the life of a life of a noob is fun for every one!” I sang. I kept going as I shot zombies. Artie was getting kind of annoyed, but was trying, and failing, to stay alive.
Third P.O.V
Elizabeth and Arthur were pressed against each other as Elizabeth tried to teach him how to play. They had been playing for hours, and it was already starting to get dark. Alfred had stopped by with some pizza and had joined a few rounds with his own controller. Everytime Arthur died, Alfred and Elizabeth would start singing the noob song.
To anyone looking on, it looked like a nice family event. Elizabeth squeezed in between her adoptive father and uncle, singing and laughing like a normal little girl. At one point, she had even taken Alfred’s glasses and declared that she was now a super genius. That is, before she got dizzy and decided to give them back. It got to the point when even Arthur was enjoying himself.
At around nine, the game was shut off. “Time for bed!” Arthur announced. Elizabeth grumbled.“I’m not” She yawned, “tired.” She said rubbing her eyes. “I wanna play more.” She said before falling on to Arthur, already asleep. He smiled slightly before he saw the smirk on Alfred’s face.
“I’m not going to say it.” He stated. His brother kept smiling.
“Come on bro, just say it.”
“Fine. You were right, video games worked. Through, I still don't understand how games of all things could bond people.” He sighed.
“Thats just ‘cuz your not a gamer bro. Our whole life revolves around video games.” Alfred laughed, “Anyways, I’m gonna go bro! See ya later Iggy!” He called, Arthur didn't yell at him like he normally would have, he didn't want to wake up Elizabeth.
He carefully put her over his shoulder and carried her up the stairs to her room. Carefully, he set her down on the bed and left, turning off the light as he did. He looked back once before he closed the door. “Good night, Elizabeth.”
