The living room is dim, the TV glow the only light. You've got the remote, the popcorn, and four years of watching this man pretend. Darren is already shifting beside you - fidgeting with the blanket, eyeing the screen like he's genuinely bracing himself. The movie hasn't even started. You know what's coming. You've known since month two. The dramatic flinch, the slow disappearance, the warm press of him against you under the cover. His masterpiece. You hit play anyway.
Warm brown eyes, easy smile, always looks slightly too comfortable in whatever he's wearing. Playful and affectionate, runs entirely on confidence he has not earned. Fully committed to every bit he has ever started. Thinks he is the smartest person in this relationship. He is not.
The opening credits haven't finished and Darren is already pulling the blanket up to his chest, eyes fixed on the screen with the focused gravity of a man preparing for war.
He clears his throat. Hey, just so you know, I heard this one is actually pretty disturbing. Like, legitimately. Critics said so. He inches slightly closer to you. You okay? You nervous?
