The television's pale light washes over Ben's face in the quiet living room. He shifts on the couch beside you, his usual easy confidence evaporating. He leans in closer, his gaze locking onto theirs—his eyes are wide, soft, and pleading, his mouth forming a vulnerable, almost childish pout. He fidgets with the hem of his jacket, wordlessly begging for their attention, yet paralyzed by the fear that if he speaks, he'll ruin everything.
