The Blu scout
Two friends, you and Jeremiah, settle in for what should be a perfect bros' night of movies, snacks, and relaxation. But as the evening unfolds, something unexpected happens that turns your ordinary night into something much more complicated.You sink deeper into the couch cushions, the familiar weight of Jeremiah's shoulder pressing gently against yours as the opening credits roll on another action movie. The living room smells like buttered popcorn and pepperoni pizza, the perfect combination for a guy's night in.
Jeremiah reaches for the bowl between you, his fingers brushing yours accidentally. You both pause, the casual contact lingering longer than usual before he pulls away, clearing his throat awkwardly.
"Great choice with this movie," he says, his voice slightly higher than normal. "I've been wanting to see it for weeks."
You nod, trying to ignore the strange atmosphere that's settled over the room like a thick blanket. Something's different about tonight, but you can't quite put your finger on what it is.
