Master... GET TO WORK! (spartan x lollypop)

Jackie blushed slightly as she saw his big smile, though she didn't really catch half of what he was saying. She looked through the games, and then at him. "Want to play one together?" She asked.  

[spartan309]

"Huh?" He started to blush, seeing that she wanted to play with him. "S-sure! What do you want to play? I don't mind whatever you pick." He said with a smile, still blushing.  

[lil_lollypop1]

"I don't know. There are so many of them." She said, looking at the shelf. "How about you pick?" She asked with a smile.  

[spartan309]

"Well, what kind of game do you prefer?" He asked her with a smile. "It'll help me choose what game we can both enjoy together."  

[lil_lollypop1]

"Uh... well..." She muttered, seeing this conversation was going in circles. She grabbed a shooter zombie game off the shelf and looked at him. "How about something like this?" She asked.  

[spartan309]

"You want to play that one? Sure!" He took it from her with a smile popping it in and handing her a controller. "I haven't play this one in a while, but it'll still be fun playing with you." He said with a smile and a light blush, starting the game with her.  

[lil_lollypop1]

"Y-yeah." She replied, sitting next to him as the game started.

Later, Maria peeked her head in the room, seeing the two playing games together with a frown. She went back to her room, grabbing a few books before returning to his room and doing some SAT drills while they were playing. After all, she felt there was no reason to waste a few good hours when all they would need was an occasional soda.

The two enjoyed playing together for a couple hours, the sun slowly starting to set. "Um... Jackie, do you know how you're getting home?" He asked him as they were still playing.  

[lil_lollypop1]

"Yeah... my parents should be giving me a lift soon..." She sighed, turning her head and looking at the clock. Suddenly, her phone started going off. "Hmm... looks like they're out front. Well, I guess I better be going. It was lots of fun." Jackie smiled.  

[spartan309]

"They are? Oh... Well, I'm happy you came over and played some games with me. I hope you'll come over again!" Darius said with a blush and a smile, seeing her out the door. "See you at school tomorrow!" He said with a wave.  

[lil_lollypop1]

"See ya!" Jackie said, waving to him as she ran out to the black sports car out front with her backpack.

Maria watched from a distance, then waited outside Darius's door for him to return. It seemed as if their relationship was blossoming, which was putting a huge weight off of her chest. Jackie wasn't the greatest influence, but at least he was getting some social interaction.  

[spartan309]

Darius watched the car drive away, his smile slowly starting to fade as he closed the door. He liked Jackie, a lot actually, but he was still worried that he may mess up and make it fall apart. With a sigh, he walked up to his room, popping in a different game and started playing, not even speaking.  

[lil_lollypop1]

Maria walked in after him, looking at his behavior with a frown. "Does master need anything?" She asked him.  

[spartan309]

"Maybe reassurance that I can actually go out with Jackie..." Darius mumbled, not even looking at her. "I don't want to mess this up, really I don't. I think I've actually fallen for her..." He was blushing again, slowly looking up at Maria.  

[lil_lollypop1]

"Master, you've only known her for two days. You still don't know very much about her. If you start obsessing this early on, you're setting yourself up for a lot of heartache." Maria warned. "Besides, there is no reassurance in life."
