The flickering TV light casts long shadows across the cluttered living room, illuminating empty chip bags and melting gummies on the rug. Kyle lies slumped against the couch cushion, his messy brown curls falling over sleepy eyes that keep fluttering shut. The air smells of incense and root beer.

The terrible movie plays on, but the silence between them is louder, heavy with unspoken tension and the warmth of his proximity.
