Request: Could you possibly do one where josh and his girlfriend are chillin in their apartment (on like a weekend or something) and she's playing animal crossing and won't give him attention so he cuddles her and showers her in kisses just to try to get her attention. When he does he says "now I know how you feel when I'm gaming" and it's just cute and fluff and yeah..

Author's Note: Disclaimer - I have not played the new Animal Crossing game (even though I so badly want to, unfortunately I don't have a Switch) so some of the information in here might not be accurate, although I tried to fact check where I could! I did play New Leaf, so that's where my Animal Crossing knowledge is coming from. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one :)

*     *     *

You paused your game for a moment and looked over at Josh, watching as his chest rose and fell steadily. Jim was curled up against his stomach, his head resting over Josh's outstretched arm. He had come home from a lunch with friends a few hours ago and almost immediately fallen asleep next to you on the couch. You didn't really mind, Josh was always falling behind on sleep and your plans for the day had been to stay at home and watch movies anyway. Besides, it was more uninterrupted Animal Crossing time for you.

When you were sure that Josh was still sleeping soundly, you turned your focus back to your game. You finished checking in with Tom Nook before running out of the building, ready to look for some more fossils around the island. Your collection was slowly getting larger, but there was still a lot of work for you to do before it was anywhere close to complete. Not to mention all the other things that you needed to be working on collecting.

Josh finally started to stir, slowly stretching out his legs until they were pressing up against your hip. You reached out and patted his leg with one hand, letting him know you were aware he was awake, while still using the other to guide your character around. Upon noticing that Josh was awake, Jim got up and started to lick his face.

"Jim! Stop," he laughed, scratching at Jim's ears to distract him from licking his face. "There, good boy."

"Good morning, sunshine," you said, taking a quick glance at Josh. "How was your nap?"

"Really nice. I needed that."

"Good."

"What are you doing?" he asked, leaning closer to you.

"Playing Animal Crossing, same as always," you smiled.

"I should have known."

"Yes, you should have."

You turned and gave Josh a quick kiss, which made him smile. He leaned on your shoulder for a moment before sitting up straight again.

"I think I'm going to get a drink from the kitchen, my throat is a little dry. Do you want anything?"

"A soda would be great."

"On it."

Josh kissed the top of your head and stood up, taking another moment to stretch. Now that Josh was gone, Jim moved over and rested his head on your lap. You shifted how you were holding your Switch so that you could more comfortably pet him with your free hand.

Josh came back a few minutes later, carrying two sodas in his hands. You motioned for him to set it on the coffee table so that you could drink it when you were ready.

"Thank you."

"No problem," he said, sitting back down on the other side of Jim.

Josh cracked open his soda can and took a long sip, gulping loudly. You continued to run around, finally spying a star on the ground that indicated a potential fossil. Next to you, Josh had Jim move over to his other side so that he could rest his head in your lap.

"Is this ok?" he asked.

"Yeah."

Josh was turned so that he was looking up at the ceiling or, more accurately, your Switch. He was tapping out an idle beat on his stomach.

"Will you play with my hair?" he asked.

"I'm kind of in the middle of something, love."

"Please?" He stuck out his bottom lip for added effect.

"Later."

Josh dramatically groaned and rolled away so that he could press the side of his face into your legs. You laughed and gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. He was usually ok with each of you doing your own thing while in the same room, but he occasionally got into a clingy mood where all he wanted to do was cuddle with you and have your full attention. Tonight seemed to be one of those nights.

"Then can we cuddle?"

"It's kind of hard to play Animal Crossing and cuddle at the same time. I promise I'll finish up what I'm doing and then I'll give you attention, ok?"

"But I want attention now," he sighed.

"You're going to have to be patient."

"No," he whined.

You pressed your lips together, barely holding back a smile as you started to formulate a plan. It was going to drive Josh crazy, but you felt it was sort of deserved since he wanted to whine.

"Please, Y/N," he said, rolling back over so he could look at you again. "Can I at least have a kiss?"

It was a tempting offer, but you had to stay strong. Rather than give in, you kept your eyes on your game and tried to ignore Josh the best that you could. Out of your peripheral vision, you could see the concerned look on his face.

"Are you going to ignore me now?"

You bit down on your lip.

"Y/N," he said, drawing out the end of your name.

You couldn't say anything.

"Fine, I see how it is."

When Josh got up, you thought that was the end of it. He walked off down the hall towards your bedroom, presumably to continue sleeping or practice his drums for a while. It wasn't until a few minutes later when he returned and took a seat on the other end of the couch that you realized there he had made a plan of his own. You managed to sneak a glance when he was checking his phone, only to realize that he had taken off his shirt as some sort of incentive for you.

Damn, he was good at this.

"Still nothing?" he asked after a minute of silence.

Still nothing.

Your heart rate picked up when Josh started to slide down the couch, getting close enough to you that his legs were pressed up against yours. His arms slowly made their way around your waist, though you still managed to keep them free enough that you could play your game. Josh rested his chin on your shoulder, putting his lips only centimeters away from your ear.

"Don't you want to pay attention to me?" he said.

He really knew what he was doing.

"Come on, Y/N," he said, pressing a gentle kiss to your cheek. "Just put the game down." Another kiss. "And you can come cuddle with me." The corner of your mouth now. "You can always play more tomorrow." One more on your jaw.

You were glad that you were almost done with all the things you had wanted to complete today; you weren't sure how much more of this you could take.

"Y/N, please." Josh pressed his face up against yours. Unfortunately, it was enough to get you to finally break and let out a little giggle. "Yes!"

"I didn't do anything!" you laughed.

Josh answered by leaning back, which also meant you ended up landing on top of him since his arms were still around you. While you still could, you saved your game and exited out, finally setting your Switch down on the coffee table.

"Finally," he said, pressing another kiss to your cheek.

"I told you I would stop when I finished what I needed to do."

"But it took you forever."

"It didn't take me that long."

You twisted your body so that you could actually lay comfortably on top of Josh. He smiled up at you.

"I guess now I know how you feel when I'm gaming," he laughed.

"Exactly."

You leaned forward and gave Josh a proper kiss, now that you were no longer distracted by your game. He wrapped his arms around you a little tighter.

"I really brought this on myself when I bought you a Switch for your birthday, didn't I?"

You laughed and buried your face in the crook of his neck, "Mhmm."

"I'm just happy that you're getting good use out of it."

"Me too, but I still enjoy spending time with you the most of all."

"Really?"

"Really."

"I love you, Y/N," he said, leaning so his head was resting against yours.

"I love you too."

"So what do you think? A movie?"

"I think we should watch more X-Files," you said. "Because I have a feeling that somebody is going to keep distracting me to ask for kisses."

"You know me too well."

"I'll go make popcorn."

"Ok."

Josh gave you a kiss as you got up and walked into the kitchen. Jim followed after you, somehow sensing that you were about to make a snack that he could sit and beg you for. Meanwhile, Josh stayed in the living room and pulled X-Files up so that it would be ready when you returned with popcorn.

"Ok, we're good to go," you said, curling up next to Josh. With the warm LA breeze blowing in through the windows, there was no need for blankets tonight. Josh and Jim would provide all the heat you needed.

"Wait, I need a kiss first."

You turned and gave Josh yet another kiss, which he was hesitant to let you pull away from. It wasn't until Jim nearly stuck his nose into the popcorn bowl that he finally broke away from the kiss.

"I think that's a sign that he's ready to watch TV," you laughed.

"Me too."

Josh hit play and wrapped his arm around your shoulders.

"Thank you for spending time with me," Josh said quietly as the intro started to play. "I appreciate it."

"Of course, I'll always spend time with you, Josh."

There was nothing you would rather do.
