Geralt wasn't used to waking up alone, he also wasn't used to waking up at 2:27 on a saturday morning. Jaskiers side of the bed still looked mostly made meaning he probably hadn't made it to bed yet. Geralt let out a long sigh and resigned himself to getting out of bed and fetching Jaskier so that he cou8ld go back to sleep.
Jaskier had a bad habit of falling asleep while watching TV and then complaining all morning about the kink in his neck. Gewralt walked into the living room only to be shocked by the complete silence and darkness that he was met with. The only light that could be seen was a faint glow coming out from underneath Jaskiers office. Geralt couldn't think of anything thatJaskier would be doing in his office at this hour but then again when Jaskier started composing he was prone to forgetting the time.
Geralt knocked softly on the door not want to startle Jaskier but when he opened the door he was completely shocked by the sight that met him, Jaskier was curled up in his chair in front of his computer on the computer was a cartoon game that Jaskier seemed to be playing from his new switch he had gotten a few days prior. JAskier was so engrossed in what was happening on screen that he hadn't even noticed Geralt's entrance into the room. Jaskier had his pajamas on and a thick blanket wrapped around his shoulders, he huddled in his lounge chair with their cat Roach sleeping at his side. The tip of his tongue was sticking out in concentration while his character on screen seemed to be sneaking up on some sort of spider.
Geralt cleared his throat causing Jaskier to jump up in his chair and let out a small shriek which in turn caused Roach to jump up and leave. Geralt couldn't help but laugh at Jaskier especially when he let out a small whine as his screen went to black.
“I almost had it Geralt, I was this close to catching it” Jaskier said, pinching his fingers together like the drama queen he was. Jaskier pouted at his screen as it reloaded and he stood in front of a small house on screen.
“Mmm hmm, and exactly what were you trying to catch at this late hour?” Geralt slowly spun Jaskiers chair around until he could look him in the eye. “I've been trying to catch a tarantula all night long for my museum and that was the first one I saw.” Jaskier stated this like it was the simplest thing in the world and totally explained him being up at this late hour.
“Naturally, and what exactly are you playing?” Geralt asked with raised eyebrows.
“Animal crossing”
“You’re just as bad as Ciri.” Geralt said fondly, ruffling his boyfriends hair to which Jaskier stuck his tongue out at.
“You wouldnt understand the true joy of playing anyways, it's a very sophisticated game Geralt”
“Oh yes, truly sophisticated. Running around catching tarantulas and what not. Is there any chance you can wrap it up for the night and come back to bed with your very loving boyfriend?”
“Yes but only if you carry me back.” Jaskier already had his arms spread wide in invitation.
“Alright save your game and then to bed you go.”
Jaskier quickly saved and powered off his game and then basically pounced on top of Geralt.
Geralt walked down the dark hallway with Jaskier bundled in his arms humming some cheery tune. Gerlat couldn't help but laugh at Jaskiers joyfulness this late at night. “Must be some game to keep you up this late?”
“You should really give it a try Geralt, i think you would absolutely love it, we could even visit each others islands as well as Ciri’s and Lamberts.” Jaskier said with a small yawn
Geralt stoped in the doorway of their bedroom “Lambert plays Animal Crossing?”
“Yes but you can't tell him I told you he’ll kill me”
Geralt barked out a laugh “Ok so maybe this game is worth a try if Lambert’s playing it.”
“Hmm you really should consider playing you'll love it.”
By now Geralt was tucking Jaskier under the covers “All right I’ll try it but no promises that I’ll like it.” with that Geralt gave Jaskier a small kiss and tucked him in.
~~~~~~~~~ A few days later ~~~~~~~~~
Geralt had to admit there was something seriously addicting about this cute/weird little game. Jaskier had gotten Geralt a switch to play on so that they could visit each other's islands. Geralt was expecting it to be cute and sweet, what he got instead was Jaskier casing him around his island with a small axe, which still wasn't that bad considering the way Jaskier had laughed about it. He also now understood why Jaskier was upset about losing his tarantula seeing that Geralt had been bitten by at least 2 now. While Geralt's island was nowhere close to Ciri’s or Jaskier’s they both helped him out with building up his own island. Now both Geralt and Jaskier spent time curled up together late at night trying to achieve a 5 star island.
