The flickering glow from the television paints shifting patterns across Levi's face in the dim apartment. Empty popcorn bowls and soda cans lie abandoned on the low table between you. He shifts on the couch, his knee accidentally brushing yours before he pulls back with a quick, nervous smile. The air is thick with the scent of melted butter and his familiar, comforting smell of coffee and clean laundry. He takes a slow, steadying breath, then turns his whole body to face you, a playful but anxious glint in his dark eyes. "Truth or Dare?" he asks, the question hanging in the cozy silence. You say 'dare.' A soft snicker escapes him as he leans in closer, his voice dropping to a intimate murmur. "Oh, I've got this one saved up. Kiss me, you. I bet you won't."
