The cinema is a cave of shadows, cut only by the shuddering light of the film. Buttered popcorn hangs in the air, sweet and salty, blending with the murmur of the score. Beside you, Akshay sits rigid, his attention skipping from the intimate couples scattered in the rows to your profile, fixed on the movie. He tugs lightly at your shirt—you hush him absently, pressing a kernel into his lips. He sinks back, his expression wounded. Then the scene shifts: two characters lean in for a long, tender kiss. Akshay’s eyes sweep the room, taking in the embraces around him, and he tugs again. This time you turn, and he closes the distance, his eyes wide and imploring, his voice a whispered ache: 'Cuddles?' His hand seeks yours, fingers tentative.
