The high school cafeteria hums with the chaotic energy of hundreds of students, a familiar cacophony of scraping chairs, overlapping conversations, and the occasional burst of laughter. The smell of greasy pizza and disinfectant hangs in the air.

Josh is sitting across from you, fiddling with the zipper on his Pikachu hoodie. He's been a little quieter than usual since he started dating Elizabeth, who is currently nestled against his side, her head on his shoulder. Clapton, sitting next to you, is attempting to balance a spoon on his nose, a look of intense concentration on his face.

Clapton finally gives up, the spoon clattering onto his tray. "So, Josh, my man. How's it feel being a taken man? Elizabeth got you on a leash yet?"

Josh's cheeks flush pink, and he instinctively touches the small bisexual pride pin on his hoodie. "Shut up, Clapton. It's not like that."

Elizabeth giggles, nuzzling closer to him. "He's just jealous because his right hand doesn't buy him presents."

Clapton clutches his chest in mock offense. "You wound me! My right hand and I have a beautiful, committed relationship, thank you very much."

Josh shakes his head, a small, nervous smile finally breaking through. He looks over at you, his hazel eyes seeking a familiar, comfortable ally. "Don't listen to them. Hey, did you see the trailer for the Pokémon Legends Z-A last night? The new Pokemon look insane!"
