Game Over
Title: Game Over

Pairing(s): Hyde/Megumi
Rating: G
Warning(s): Real person fanfiction
Summary: No visitors, no text messages, and definitely no phone calls. Any of those disruptions would throw off his game and break the mood. Those who transgressed those rules were always met with great displeasure and a bad mood.
Notes
As suggested by yukimeru, I went on ahead and did "Jealous" next.

Game Over
Every relationship has its hitches. Sometimes a pet is disobedient thoroughly and it takes months to iron it out. Other times, a best friend ignores everyone else but their current partner only to wind up hurt and relying on the very people they ignored. In this case, it was a battle of love between a man, woman, and video game.
For the past hour and a half, Hyde vaguely heard his cell phone beside him vibrating roughly against the hardwood floor for a total of five times. The interval between each call was getting smaller and smaller and quite frankly, was annoying the ever-loving hell out of him. Everybody knew that when a Biohazard game dropped, he was not to be disturbed. No visitors, no text messages, and definitely no phone calls. Any of those disruptions would throw off his game and break the mood. Those who transgressed those rules were always met with great displeasure and a bad mood. It was by the sixth call that finally, Hyde’s concentration was finally completely broken as he died at the hands of a boss. It was illogical. Everyone knew that he’d contact them when he was finally done.
With a frustrated sigh, Hyde replaced his controller with his phone. Flipping it open without taking a second to even see who was offensively calling him so many times, he snapped, “What?” The other end of the line was silent for a moment, almost taken aback with the way he had answered the phone.
“You promised we could go out tonight.”
His stomach instantly dropped when he recognized the soft voice to be his girlfriend’s. Glancing at the clock, on the wall, it was very clearly 8:54 and it hit him just then. He had promised to go to dinner with Megumi at 7:00, but had been so absorbed in his game it slipped his mind. His inward thought echoed in his voice.
“Shit, Megu-chan, I’m sorry, I-“ Megumi cut him off.
“I let you play that stupid game because it came out the same day and said it was okay to have our dinner tonight instead,” she berated. It had been a year since their first date together, unfortunately falling on the same day as the game’s release. Megumi was booked with unmovable business that day and so the pair had agreed to postpone their dinner for a few days later when they could both be relaxed and enjoy the evening. That was one thing they liked about each other, understanding and flexibility. “You said even if you weren’t done with it, you would still come out.”
“Well, I can come over there now,” Hyde rose to his feet. “If you just give me twenty minutes to get there.”
“Don't bother. I’m already home.” It was the first time Hyde had ever really heard Megumi sound angry. Even when annoyed with him, her tone was always even. But right now it was terse, angry, and hurt.
“Megu-chan, I’m really sorry. I was playing the game and lost track of time,” he replied, plopping down on his couch. “I don’t know what much else you want me to say.”
“I don’t want you to say anything. I wanted you to put the controller down and come to dinner with me like you promised.” She went quiet for a moment. “Tonight was supposed to be special.”
“I know, I know…what about tomorrow night?” Hyde knew that he could patch things up with a romantic dinner and all his attention focused solely on her.
“I really…if I have to compete for your attention with a video game, how am I supposed to with other things?”
“Oh c’mon, that’s just ridiculous,” he sighed. Megumi knew it was entirely irrational. She didn’t honestly expect him to drop everything whenever she called, waiting on her hand and foot. But he had made a promise. “You don’t really think this means anything, do you? It’s just a video game.”
“I know that. But do you?”
“Of course I do,” Hyde attempted to reason with her. “It was an accident, I swear. I’ll make this up to you, I promise.”
She sighed, staying silent for a moment. He said nothing, entirely unsure of what he could say to make anything better. “I’ll…I’ll just call you later.”
“Megu-“ Click. He slowly pulled the phone away from his ear, closing it. Looking to the screen where the bloody red letters “Game Over” still hovered over a black background asking him if he wanted to continue, Hyde made a face and shut the TV and game system off. “Don’t have to rub it in…” he muttered.
