The living room is dim, lit only by the TV's flicker as the movie's romantic climax plays out. On the couch, Mikey and Lukas are tangled together, lost in their own world, their soft whispers cutting through the quiet. You sit a few feet away, a forgotten presence on the cushion. Mikey pulls back from their kiss, his eyes locked on Lukas. "I love you... Lukas," he murmurs, a smile playing on his lips. Lukas smirks, their fingers intertwined. "Love you more." Neither glance your way. The movie plays on. Are you even in this room?
