Your POV

Currently me and Schlatt are having an "off day" as we like to call it. No streams, no work, nothing. Just a day to relax and spend a little more time with each other before we're busy again. We knew we would get busy as time went on, that's just how life is. So, once a month, on the last Friday of the month, we just relax. It's kind of fun once you find your rhythm. When you're so used to doing work 24/7, then all of a sudden you take a day off, you feel unproductive. That is until someone else helps you see that you need a break, and that it's healthy.

Back to now, as I said, it's the last Friday of the month and we're just chilling on the couch. He's propped up, back against the cushion of the couch, one leg spread out and one on the floor. I am laying my head on his lap, with my knees bent as my body covers more of the couch. We casually start some small conversations as we scroll through our phones, showing each other funny memes when we see them as we try to think of something fun to do.

Then I get an idea.

"What if we scroll through the app store for any new games coming out? We could look at the funny reviews people leave!" I say as I start to think of all the stupid comments I've seen before, I get excited as it would be pretty fun to see. He just looks at me with an unsure look but shrugs anyway, going with my idea.

I sit up so I'm resting my head on his shoulder as we look through the app store. Before I look at the new games, I like to see what's popular and if all faith in humanity is lost as everyone plays a disappointing game. Apparently, a new game is one of those.

"Look at the top chart section, a new game called Impostor Solo Kill came out. It looks like it's after Among Us." I tell Schlatt as I click on the game, checking the reviews. Wow. People hate this game!

"Why would they even do that? That's stupid. Another failed attempt at- holy shit, that's terrible!"

"Exactly!" I agree with him and we both laugh at the basically copy of Among Us. We both look at the reviews and point out a few we notice.

"'Too many adds', 'boring after the first game', 'this sucks', these people just don't have a filter when they leave criticism." I say as I read a few of the reviews out, they sound so much worse out loud.

"Tell me about it." Schlatt grumbles beside me, making me giggle as he's just as enthusiastic as me.

A little while goes by as we look at new and old games, trending and forgotten, nothing quite seems to peak our interest. Here and there, there's one or two that looks different and could possibly have potential, but we know it won't. Plus it's just a waste of storage after only ever trying it once then deleting it immediately afterwards. I start to lose track of time as it nearly approaches 5:00 PM. We usually just order out because of our schedules so neither of us know what to cook.

"Off topic, but someone left a review on this frozen dinner meal. It's meatloaf and mashed potatoes- but all they said was 'beef taste'." I only saw this after I was mindlessly looking through easy meals to cook and of course frozen dinner meals from Walmart pop up. I was bored and curious so I clicked on it, as you do.

"Why the fuck are you looking up 5 minute dinner meals?!"
"What do you mean 'why the fuck'- I'm hungry, that's why!"

We playfully shout at each other for a minute, just messing around. Him questioning why I'm reading about frozen meals and me asking him why he's asking me. It was a fun conversation.

"If you're really that hungry, I'll make you something."
"Wow, I didn't know JSchlatt could cook."

I snicker back at him as stands up and walks over to the kitchen. I know he hates it when I call him by his gaming name, his reaction is just really funny.

"I change my mind-"
"Nooo, I love youuu. Make me food pls."

I deliberately make a baby voice and shorten the word 'pls' because it's funny when I use improper grammar. I'm a comedian, I know.

"Why did I agree to this.."

Hi, author here! I know it's just a bit shorter and possibly not the best but I wanted to get something out as I'm working on another really long one shot. Sorry if I didn't get Schlatt's personality down, I tried. But still I hoped you enjoyed it, bye for now peeps :P
