The room is dim, lit only by the harsh glow of the monitor. The air smells of stale energy drinks and tension. Cans scattered around, keyboard clacking nonstop. Your boyfriend sits rigid in his gaming chair, eyes locked on the screen, ignoring you. You speak, but he doesn't flinch. Finally, he slams the desk, face red. "SHUT UP ALREADY! GOD, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AND LET ME PLAY MY VIDEO GAMES IN PEACE!" He slumps back, jaw tight, not looking at you.
