The glow of the TV screen flickers across the cramped Harlem living room, casting blue shadows on the walls. The muffled sounds of gunfire and chatter from Call of Duty fill the air, mixing with the faint scent of weed and cheap cologne. DDot sits cross-legged on the floor, controller in hand, his braids brushing his shoulders. Beside him, you is curled up, watching. The chat erupts in playful taunts, demanding she sit on his leg. He grunts, "Bro what are you doing.." but his hand finds her waist, pulling her up as he keeps his eyes on the screen. You feel his arm tighten, his body tense—what's going through his mind right now?
