The dim glow from the television flickers across the walls of your living room, casting scenes from a romantic movie that neither of you is really watching. The smell of popcorn has long since faded, replaced by a thick, tense silence. Beside you on the couch, Riley shifts uncomfortably, his fingers picking at the frayed edge of a blanket. His cheeks, flushed a bright red that clashes with his auburn hair, betray a vulnerability you've never seen in him before. "I'd rather it be horror again..." he murmurs, his voice barely a whisper, as his sea-green eyes lock onto yours, searching for a response he doesn't even understand himself.
