(Y/n) POV:

     I groaned as I pulled myself out of bed. I looked over and didn't see Alex there. "Ugh not again." I muttered to myself. This is the fifth night in a row he has stayed up to do work. Quickly, I changed into some clothes that weren't my pjs. I stepped out of the room and tip toed to his office.

As quietly as I could, I slightly opened his office door. I peaked in and saw his head laying on the desk. Opening the door even more, I took a step in. His hair was a mess and he had drool dripping on his papers. There were bags under his eyes. He was so peaceful. "WAKE UP!!!!" I yelled in his ear while banging on the desk.

     Almost immediately his head shot up. "Who? What? When? How?" He mumbled. I laughed at his reaction. "Come on let's get up and do something together!" I whined. "(N/n) you know I have a lot of work to do." He muttered still half asleep. "Yeah but this is the fifth night in a row you've stayed up doing work!" I complained.

     "I'm sorry for that. I really am! But this is important!" He tried to reason. "Which is exactly why I'm making you take a break." I grabbed his arm and pulled him up and out of his seat. "B-but-"

He was cut off from me dragging him to our room. "Now get dressed. I've got a fun day planned!" I shoved him in the room and shut the door. I heard him groan on the other side of the door. I rolled my eyes and walked to the kitchen. I grabbed all the ingredients I needed and started making pancakes. They were Alex's favorite! And I enjoyed them too.

Alex quickly scrambled out of the room and made his way into the kitchen. "Mmmmm my favorite." He kissed my cheek. "You know we haven't had a fun day since our honeymoon. And that was a couple months ago." I chuckled. I cooked as Alex pestered me with random questions.

     "Alright here are ze pancakes!" I said with a French accent. "You know Laf would not approve of your impression of a French accent!" He laughed. "Eh oh well." I shrugged. We ate and I grabbed Alex's arm and pulled him to the car. "You didn't even pick up the dishes! What is up with you?" He asked. "This is important to me!" "So where are we going?" He relaxed in his chair. "It's a surprise!" I grinned.

I drove to the destination as Alex begged to know where we were going. Then, we finally arrived at the location. "Ta da!" I cheered. Alex's jaw dropped as soon as we arrived. "No way! I haven't been here since high school!" He jumped up and down.

"The arcade! Such a beautiful place!" He praised. I laughed and led him inside. We got our game cards from the front desk so we could play games. "This place has changed!" He said astonished. "Yeah when we used to come here they used tokens!" I chuckled. He laughed back. And since I have had this plan I invited a few friends.

"Yo Alex! (Y/n)!" John yelled rushing over. "Hey guys!" Alex said. "(Y/n) asked us to come hang out here today. I'm glad you were able to give up work." Laf smiled. As Alex thought about it he finally let out a response. "Yeah I'm glad I did too!" Was his response. "Well let's play games!!!" Herc squealed. I chuckled and pulled Alex through the isles of games.

As we ran around the arcade playing different games we had so much fun. It made me think of when we were teenagers. "You!" Alex pointed at me. I chuckled and said "what?" "I challenge you to a rematch!" He yelled. "In what?" I questioned. "A dance off!" He smirked.

Flashback

     Angelica and I were hanging out at the arcade after another exhausting day at school. We ate pizza and talked about random things. "We should go play games!" I suggested. She smiled and brightly said "oh yeah!!!"

     The very first thing we did was a dance off. I matched every step on the screen, never missing a beat. Which led me to beat her. By a lot. She was confused and had no clue what she was doing. When we were about to leave that game I noticed a boy looking at me. He was short, but still taller than me. He had brown hair tied back in a ponytail. But I noticed someone familiar standing beside him.

"John!" I called out to him. He turned around and waved while giving me a smile. I made my over to him and have him a hug. "Hey (Y/n)! What are you doing here?" He asked. "Oh I'm hanging out with Angelica. School was tiring today so we came here." I explained. "Nice! Well I'm just here hanging out with the gang." He shrugged. I nodded and noticed the boy turn away.

I went to walk away when John quickly called out. "Wait!" He said. I turned around to face him once again. "I want you to meet someone new. Alexander this is (Y/n)!      (Y/n), Alexander!" He pushed Alexander over to me and ran off. "Oh uh h-hi!" He managed to say. He gave a slight wave and blushed creeped onto his face. "Hi!" I brightly smiled.

     "Y-you're a good dancer." He complimented. I chuckled at his stuttering mess. "Thank you. Would you like to go against me?" I grinned. "Oh! I'm pretty good." He laughed. "Then I guess this determines who's better." I smirked. We made our way over and John, Herc, Laf, and Angelica crept behind us.

     "Alright go Alex!" Herc cheered. "Nah! Go (Y/n)!" Angelica cheered louder. "You ready?" I turned to Alex. "I was born ready!" The battle began. He was pretty good. It stayed close the whole time.

     Alex slowly started taking the lead, but the next thing he did ruined it all. He smirked as he noticed his score creep higher and higher. He must've been to distracted cause he took a step to the right and fell off the platform. I tried my best to hold in my laughter as he struggled to get up. My score crawled higher and it was over.

     "Ha! I win!" I pointed at him. His face was red from embarrassment as everyone laughed. I grabbed his hand and pulled him up. And that was just the start of us dating.

Flashback over

     I smirked and said "you know what happened last time you challenged me!" He nodded as a response. "But this time I won't screw up." He promised. "Okay! If you insist!" I shrugged. And just like before we made our way to the old game. I swiped my card in the slot and chose what dance.

     "You're going down Alex!" I said. "We'll see about that." And like before, we started. As this went on it stayed close. But as the game came to an end one score went up. "Aha I won!" I cheered. The guys cheered behind me as Alex sighed. "By one flipping point!" He groaned. I kissed his cheek and told him "just face the fact that I'll always be better!"

     He playfully rolled his eyes. "Thank you for getting me to take a break." He wrapped his arms around my waist. I pecked his lips. "No problem! You needed some fun put back in your life!" I chuckled.
