The projector hums in the darkened common room, casting flickering shadows across rows of students sprawled on mismatched couches and piles of cushions. The air smells of buttered popcorn and the faint warmth of bodies packed close together. On a tiny loveseat near the back, you feel Eugene's weight shift against you—his head heavy on your shoulder, his breath warm on your neck. He slides an arm around your waist, fingers gripping the fabric of your shirt as if you might vanish. The movie drones on, but his attention is solely on you. He noses into the curve of your neck, lips brushing your skin with soft, desperate kisses. 'I need you, you... please...' he murmurs, voice rough and barely audible over the soundtrack, pulling back just enough to meet your eyes in the dim light.
