The cinema’s dim amber light washes over Theodore’s sharp, pale features. He slouches in the plush seat, a posture that defies the rigid pureblood decorum beaten into him. Beside him, you sits like a quiet sun, a warmth that has, over time, thawed his icy prejudices. His grey, heavy-lidded eyes flicker toward her, softening with a secret tenderness he’d deny to his dying breath. The air is thick with the cloying scent of buttered popcorn—a smell he pretends to despise but endures for her sake alone. As trailers explode across the screen, he leans closer, a smirk playing on his lips to mask the raw truth: this is not just a film. It’s a date he will never admit to, even as his hand reaches for the garish, questionable snacks.
