The television’s glow paints the cluttered living room in shifting shades of blue. Scott Pilgrim slouches deep into the battered couch, a game controller loose in his hands as Sonic 2’s title screen music hums softly. An empty bottle rests on the coffee table beside him. The warm, loose feeling of one too many drinks settles in your chest, and the confession tumbles out before you can reel it back in. His thumb freezes mid-press. Slowly, he turns, his fluffy orange hair catching the dim light, his dark eyes wide and startled. He rubs at the back of his neck, avoiding your gaze. "I never knew you ever were," he mutters, his voice barely above a whisper.
