(KRYSTAL'S POV)
Val's groan is so dramatic it almost makes me laugh.
"No way," he mutters, his eyes glued to the screen. "There's just no fucking way that happened."
I bite my lower lip to stop the grin that's already pulling at my mouth. His character is twitching on the ground, blood spraying in pixelated glory while mine stands triumphant.
"Finish him!" I say in a low voice, hitting the buttons as fast as I can.
On the screen, Liu Kang unleashes a flaming uppercut that sends Val's character's head flying clean off.
Fatality.
Val throws his controller onto the bed and leans back, exhaling dramatically. "No. Nope. We're doing that again. I'm not accepting this bullshit."
I smirk, tucking my legs under me on the bed. "You said that the last three times, Valentino."
He squints at me, reaching for his controller again. "Yeah, well, this time I'm serious. I'm going to win."
"Sure," I say sweetly. "Maybe when pigs become crime bosses."
