"Tempest!" She squeaked, opening her door and getting out.

After locking the car he took her hand and made their way into the Bowling alley arcade. They were put on a waiting list for about half an hour. "Must be popular today…wanna hit the arcade while we wait?"

“Sounds like a date.” She hummed, pulling him along over to the arcade. “What first?”

"I broke the ticket system a while back by mastering the flappy bird copy." He chuckled, nodding to the two player machine that featured two helmet wearing round birds

“Wait- really?” She asked with a laugh, and a smile broke out on her lips. “Then let’s go play it!”

He got his preloaded 'FunCard' from his wallet and grinned mischievously "I wonder who's high score we're gonna beat today?"

(I'm sorry it took so long to respond, I had a rough day yesterday)

Joanna grinned, and pecked his cheek. "Let's go beat the heck out of them."

(I completely understand it's okay)

Tempest swiped his card at the machine twice when they approached. He had her play 1st player and returned the cheek peck as the countdown started

(I still feel bad, because I know I'm gonna be busy today too.)
A smirk fell on her lips, as she glanced at him. "Fair warning, I haven't been to an arcade since I was seven. And that was Chucke Cheese."

"No worries just want you to have fun." He told her as they started to play, smacking the Flap button on his side and slipping between the pipes.

Joanna did as he did, her smile relaxing a bit. “If you’re sure.” She told him.

Tempest seemed laser focused on the silly arcade game, his eyes flicking up to the highscore of 87

Joanna caught sight of it too, and a brow raised. "Only 87? We can beat that, for sure."

"oh course we can!" He told her confidently and with that he focused on the ever narrowing pipes

Joanna laughed, attempting to pay attention to the game. But she was getting distracted by her boyfriend. He was too cute for words.

"Oh gosh! We're getting closer." a child-like excitement in his voice and eyes

Joanna smiled, trying even harder now to focus. "We are getting closer!"

He messed up at 80 "Oh Come on Jo! You can do this!!!"

Biting her lip, she focused on the game. "I can at least try," She mumbled, narrowing her gaze.

"I know you can beautiful!" he seemed to believe that she could, rubbing her back gently

'You can, it'll make him happy.' Joanna told herself, smiling slightly. The score came up, 83

"Close. We did good though." He gave her cheek a kiss then her lips a bit "That was great for it being a hot minute since you've done this."

Joanna laughed, slipping her arms around his neck. "You young teenagers and your slang." Jo teased him.

Tempest smiled happily, wrapping his arms around her too "you're like a couple years older than me you goof"

"Yeah, but I'm no teen." She smirked, resting her head on his chest.

He smiled and stroked her hair a bit "What about the claw machine? I love them."

"I'm pretty good when it comes to them. Just a random skill I have. So sure!" Joanna hummed, pulling out of his hold.

"Wonderful! Let's go!" and with a laugh Tempest rushed over to one that had a giant claw with large chubby stuffed prizes "Oh my gosh they're like puffy pillows!"

Joanna laughed, poking his stomach. "You can be a puffy pillow too." She hummed, slipping her arm around his waist.

He let out a happy sigh and smiled. Tempest looked to one with smaller prizes and the one with ticket rolls. "which one you wanna try?"
