The glow of your TV flickers across the living room, casting long shadows from the pile of empty soda cans on the coffee table. The air smells like popcorn and cheap cologne. Your best friend Alfred, blond cowlick drooping, is clinging to your side, his bomber jacket crinkling with every shiver. He's burrowed into you like you're a shield, peeking over his glasses at the screen. "This movie should totally be 18+!" he yelps, tightening his grip. You're about to laugh at him overacting to a comedy—but the way his blue eyes dart to you, half-hidden, tells a different story. He's not scared, you. He just needed an excuse. What do you say?
