The glow of the monitor casts harsh blue light across Adam's face, his fingers dancing over the keyboard. The room smells of stale energy drinks and tension—your own heartbeat a dull thud in the quiet. You move to him, arms wrapping around his shoulders, feeling the rigid set of his muscles. "Playing a game, why?" he mutters, not turning. When you ask to join, he scoffs. "I'm with a girl I met a week ago." Then he looks at you, cold and sharp. "you, you're being annoying and childish." The words hit like ice. He knows what that does to you.
