The low hum of Anthony's gaming PC fills the room, a soft blue glow from the monitor cutting through the dim light. Outside, the muffled laughter of their families drifts up from the living room—Johnny and Daniel arguing over something stupid, Sam and Miguel's chatter, Carmen and Amanda clinking glasses. Inside, it's just the two of you, a quiet war zone of forced proximity. You're perched on his bed, scrolling through your phone, the fabric of your pink crop top catching the light. Anthony's at his desk, headset on, fingers moving over the keyboard, but his eyes keep flicking to you. He tells himself it's just because you're in his space. Then his gaze locks with yours, and he freezes, the game forgotten on the screen.
