⟨ arcade ⟩

@(b) yoongi (Omg no worries! I've been kinda busy myself so I haven't been here as much as I wish I could be >< )

Taehyung waited until Yoongi finished his game before giving the beta a light shove. "Do you /ever/ have any off days?? Seriously!" He whined, lips still in a pout as he compared their scores. Yoongi had definitely crushed the alpha, but said male was having none of it. "Okay okay, I was just getting warmed up. Best two out of three??" Maybe suggesting another game could increase taehyungs chances of appealing to the beta's better nature in hopes he wouldn't have to buy a giant meal for the both of them.

@(a) taehyung ((Wtf I swear I replied sorryyyy T^T))

Yoongi kept his eyes forward, missing one basket before his streak continued. Though the younger was not in his line of sight, he could pretty much feel Taehyung's /legendary/ pout. The alpha was, no pun intended, all bark and no bite. With the first round halfway over, he relaxed slightly. There was no need for him to try too hard at that moment as he already had a head start (which was quite funny as he had quite literally given Taehyung one).

@(b) yoongi ((It'a alright!!))

Taehyung liked how confident Yoongi always was. It was something he admired about the beta. He always exuded control and an "I'm-not-dealing-with-your-bull" attitude. It certainly suited the other. Unlike Taehyung, who was all talk and no game. This was demonstrated by how he had only racked up 12 points in his first game. He pouted a little before looking over and watching his friend hit basket after basket. He would have to either get extremely good in the next round, or perhaps he could distract the beta - which would prove difficult as Yoongi was never distracted in basketball.... ever.

@(a) taehyung ((Sorry >< I've been slowly getting through my replies))

Yoongi rolled his eyes, "I don't get thrown off by a new machine," he raised his hand in a mock threatening manner at the wink. He nodded once as the countdown started from 5, eyeing the alpha next to him. Just because he was going to give the other a bit of a headstart didn't mean he could wander around or anything. He watched the basketballs and grinned as he missed, picking up a ball and making a shot as he started playing as well.

@(b) yoongi "No I haven't been studying," Taehyung huffed as he examined the hoops. "I'm just worried that a new machine might throw you off and you'll have to go dancing with me." The alpha threw a wink at his friend before getting the required coins out of his pocket and putting them into the machine, watching as the basketballs came to the little spot in front of him. "Ready, hyung?" He asked Yoongi, grinning when the other just shrugged. Taehyung grabbed the basketball and started shooting, missing his first two shots.

@(a) taehyung "Yeah, yeah," Yoongi ignored the glances they may have gotten seeing him pushing the alpha around. In this century, it wasn't too weird to see it anymore, especially with friends and the occasional couple. He kept his hands in his pocket, annoyed by the grin. He ignored the glare, completely unaffected, and looked at the machine, "What, have you been studying?" the beta smirked, not turning his head towards his friend.

@(b) yoongi Taehyung kept quiet as Yoongi grabbed his collar and pulled him forward. He knew it was just how the older acted, so he didn't take it to heart that a beta was pulling and pushing him around. "Good, now that we've settled on that," he replied with a grin, pulling out his wallet again and selecting the most coins and paying for it. "Don't go back on it, hyung. You said I had two throws." Taehyung gave the older a half-hearted warning glare before walking towards the basketball machine and admiring it. "It looks so new.... I wonder if it's bigger than the last one?" he asked, mostly to himself.

@(a) taehyung Yoongi huffed, "Name your condition-" he rolled his eyes once Taehyung had spoken, stepping forward and grabbing the younger by the collar, pulling him towards the machine, "You are unoriginal today. Pay and then we'll talk," he paused for a second, figuring the immature alpha would continue to argue, and decided to talk before he could, "Fine, fine. You can have two attempts before I start," the beta growled, using a finger to prod him forward.

@(b) yoongi He should have known that Yoongi would ask him to buy the coins. Grinning, he sighed dramatically. "Under one condition, hyung," he started, taking a pause before continuing. "I get a head start at the first game. 2 basketball throws before you start." An evil grin spread across the alpha's face. He knew it was still possible he would lose, so he at least figured the other would be cocky enough to allow him the measly head start.

@(a) Taehyung "Yeah, yeah, yeah," Yoongi grumbled, letting himself be dragged by Taehyung. He stared at the machine for a few seconds, before slowly turning to the alpha, "Taehyungie~" he drew out the name, rocking back and forth on his heels, "Remember how I said I was broke?" he was going to complain about being dragged out of his bed but figured this was not the time, and cut himself off before saying anything else.

@(b) Yoongi "Exactly, you can't prove to me you're not lazy," he grinned, stopping in the entrance of the arcade to wait for his friend to catch up. "I do know how to torture you, hyung. It's one of my specialties." Seeing how the older eyed the basketball machine, Taehyung grabbed his hand and led him to get coins to play. Picking the maximum amount of coins, Taehyung payed and collected his handful of coins. He then leaned against the machine and waited for Yoongi to do the same.

@(a) Taehyung ((Hey sorry about this late response XD I was going to reply sooner but I had to get bloodwork))

"I--" Yoongi cut himself off and stuffed his hands in his pockets, "--You make a good point," he grimaced at the grin on the boy's face, hating to be proven wrong even when he knew it himself from the start, "You don't have to turn it around and say I'm an old man, though."
He blinked, making sure he had heard the younger boy right, "Club? Oh my god, Taehyung, you really know how to torture me, don't you?" he groaned inwardly, walking in behind the excited alpha, but his eyes lit up as he saw the basketball game across the room.

@(b) Yoongi "Name one time you left your room for a leisure purpose. Not to get food or to go and sleep somewhere else," the alpha grinned, turning around and walking backwards in front of the beta. "And I'm not a kid. If I'm a kid, then you're an old man." He hummed for a moment before nodding in agreement to the reward. "Alright. If you win, I'll buy food. When I win, you'll have to come to the club with me this weekend and dance. Sound good?" With that, Taehyung turned around in time to open the doors to the arcade and walk in.

@(a) Taehyung "I do so leave my room!" Yoongi huffed, a small pout surfacing on his lips, "Slow down, kid," he grumbled, not walking faster to catch up to the alpha, and emphasizing the kid part on purpose. He really did have to make it a point that he was older sometimes, not to mention Taehyung's childishness, due to his height and appearance. At least he wasn't an omega. It wasn't like being an omega was bad, simply that it would have possibly make Yoongi's life more nightmarish than it sometimes already was, "How about no punishment, but a reward for the winner. Like, if I win you buy me something," he said simply, smiling internally at the thought of food, which is the only thing he'd ask to buy, "I'm broke, though, so you'd have to think of something else if you win," he paused, "Which won't happen," he added, looking back forward to end his statement.

@(b) Yoongi "You'd never know what I do all day since you never leave your room, you lazy hyung," Taehyung shot back, enjoying their banter as the sight of the arcade made him quicken his pace. "Okay well.. what do you want the punishment to be? What would you find amusing?" The younger hadn't expected a reaction from Yoongi at all and he was correct in guessing that the punishment wouldn't suffice. Though he knew Yoongi would probably think of something worse. He just hoped he could leave the arcade with enough pride to still call himself an alpha.

@(a) Taehyung ((Ah don't worry about it xDD))

"Finding you? What do you do all day, sit in a tree?" Yoongi made a face at his friend, leaning his head against the alpha's arm. The beta blinked, "Taehyung, that's so uncreative--Everyone does that," he looked up at the younger boy, his face unchanging as opposed to possibly expected wide eyes or disbelieving expression. With Yoongi, though, something like this was more expected than anything else.

@(b) Yoongi ((Lol would you prefer me to use "older"??? XD))

Taehyung was a little surprised when Yoongi swung his arm around the alpha's neck. He chuckled, however, at the other's statement/warning. "Oh I know," he replied, relaxed, "but you know I'll always wake up earlier than you, so it'll be a matter of you finding me first." He smiled when he heard his plan worked. "Hmmm how about loser gets smacked on the ?" He laughed, looking at his friend to see what his reaction would be.

@(a) Taehyung (("elder" XD I know what you mean but--))

Yoongi sighed and reached up to sling a hand around the back of the alpha's neck, "You know I'm going to get you back for this," he said as more of a statement than a question, "But I will go with it--and admit that it worked. I will ignore the comment about my lazy and continue... I dunno," he shrugged, "I am willing to do anything, to be honest... well, depending."

@(b) Yoongi Seeing the elder stumble, Taehyung reached out a hand to help stabilize the beta. "I wasn't lying about the new basketball game," Taehyung explained, "but yes, I did use that as an excuse to get your lazy up. I think it worked quite well. And we'll see who wins. What's the wager?" It wouldn't be any fun without a little reward - or punishment.

@(a) Taehyung (I do that too sometimes xD)

Due to the unfortunate strength difference (though mostly the fact that Yoongi was half asleep), Yoongi stumbled a little when he was shoved. He asserted himself and huffed, "You tricked me didn't you--but anyway, I /will/ win," he looked up at the younger alpha, a slightly amused look on his face.

@(b) Yoongi (Omg my bad xD I got distracted)

"Oh I highly doubt it," Taehyung chuckled, giving Yoongi's shoulder a playful shove. The alpha knew how much his friend loved to play basketball, so he figured it would be the perfect way to get the stubborn beta outside.

@(a) Taehyung ((beta* xD))

Yoongi let himself be dragged outside by the excited alpha, stuffing his hands in his pockets and lightly shoving him from the side with his body. He perked up the slightest at the sound of the basketball game, and his pout turned to a smirk of sorts, "I will /cream/ you," he told the younger one, suddenly less upset about being taken outside.

@(b) Yoongi The alpha grinned at his friend's misery. Letting himself be pushed out of the door, while ignoring the other's muttering, Taehyung grabbed the omega's hand and led them out of the house, only letting go once they were outside. "I think they opened up some new games recently. We should see if they have that basketball one!"

@(a) Taehyung "Yeah, yeah, yeah," Yoongi sighed, figuring that there was no need to be flattered. He ran his fingers through his hair and glanced at Taehyung, "2pm? Oh my god really... so early," he grumbled. It wasn't an exaggeration of his laziness, of course, simply a day when he planned on sleeping... a lot--more than usual. He used one hand to push the taller alpha out the door, mumbling something inaudible and likely colourful.

@(b) Yoongi "I don't care if you're happy here or not. I'm bored and you're the only one I want to hang out with right now," Taehyung grinned as he watched the lazy beta get up. Checking his watch, Taehyung laughed. "It's almost 2pm. I've been doing nothing since I got up and you know I'm an early riser so I've been doing absolutely nothing. I don't know how you do it all the time. It is a skill."

@(a) Taehyung Yoongi's morning was usually along the lines of waking up, being angry at the world and falling back asleep, waking up, getting ready for the day, then falling back asleep. When Taehyung looked in, the beta looked back lazily, "I'm quite happy here," he grumbled, "Fine, fine. One second," he then proceeded to slowly get up and stretch, walking up to his friend, "What time is it anyway...?"

@(b) Yoongi It had been a really boring week so far. Taehyung was growing antsy sitting around in his room. He needed to get out. Pulling his out of bed, the alpha threw on a pair of jeans and a black tshirt and left his room. Knocking once on Yoongi's door, he poked his head in. "Hey, come to the arcade with me. I'm losing my mind staying here," he said, leaning against the door frame as he stared at the couch potato he called his friend.
