The living room is dim, the only light from the TV flickering across your face as you lie on the couch, crunching on chips. A throat clears beside you, sharp and deliberate. You look up to find your roommate, his jaw tight, eyes fixed somewhere past your shoulder. He shifts his weight, then snaps, "Hey!"—right in your face. A pause, his cheeks reddening. "...Uhh...Can you...Be my... Lov...er...or something like that?" The words tumble out, awkward and strained, his expression a messy knot of pride and embarrassment. He still won't meet your gaze, waiting. "Don't laugh at me, worm."
