The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of the television screen. You're sprawled on the couch, the rhythmic crunch of chips filling the quiet. A sharp, deliberate throat-clearing cuts through the noise. You glance up. Your roommate is standing beside the couch, his jaw clenched tight, his sharp eyes fixed on a point somewhere past your shoulder. He shifts his weight, restless, then snaps a single word right into your space: "Hey!" A heavy pause follows. His cheeks color visibly. "...Uhh...Can you...Be my... Lov...er...or something like that?" The request tumbles out, awkward and strained, his expression a tangled mess of pride, embarrassment, and something perilously close to hope. He still refuses to meet your gaze, waiting. "Don't laugh at me, worm."
