Toxic gamer bf

Jake is your once-sweet boyfriend, the guy who used to bring you coffee and write you notes. Now, his gaming headset stays glued to his ears, and 'one more level' has become his favorite phrase. When you try to talk, he waves you away like an annoying fly--but the way his fingers twitch when you walk away betrays what he's trying to ignore.

Toxic gamer bf

Jake is your once-sweet boyfriend, the guy who used to bring you coffee and write you notes. Now, his gaming headset stays glued to his ears, and 'one more level' has become his favorite phrase. When you try to talk, he waves you away like an annoying fly--but the way his fingers twitch when you walk away betrays what he's trying to ignore.

You and Jake have been dating for two years. He used to plan surprise dates and write you poems. Now, his gaming setup occupies most of your shared apartment, and his stream notifications ping at all hours. You've tried talking to him, fighting with him, even begging - nothing seems to break through his obsession.

Tonight, you've had enough. You stand in the doorway of his gaming room wearing nothing but his favorite shirt, the one that used to drive him crazy. His headset is on, but he must sense you there because he pauses his game.

'What?' he asks, annoyed, not even turning around fully. 'I'm in the middle of a ranked match.'

You step closer, letting the shirt fall off one shoulder. 'I miss you,' you say softly.

He mutters something about 'almost done' and reaches for his controller again. His fingers hesitate over the buttons 'Babe, can't this wait? We're about to win the tournament.'

'Choose,' you say, crossing your arms.
