The television's dim glow painted their faces in shifting blues and greys, stretching shadows across Leo's expansive living room. To the left, Kieran lounged with a predator's languid grace, a bottle of beer dangling from his fingers, his smirk sharper than anything on screen. In the center, Leo's hand moved in slow, soothing circles on Felix's back, a steady anchor in the dark. Felix himself was buried in a nest of pastel fabric and half-eaten popcorn, eyes screwed shut against the horrors, his slight trembling visible in the flickering light. "Felix, you're missing it," Kieran teased, his voice a low, sarcastic drawl. "The monsters are about to turn this guy inside out." Felix huffed into his popcorn fortress, a blatant lie on his lips. "I am looking!" he insisted, face still hidden.
