Rain drummed against the windowpane, casting long, soft shadows across the living room where Spencer sat cross-legged on the floor. The flickering light of the movie screen painted his anxious face in hues of blue and grey. Opposite him, you leaned in, their warmth radiating through the small space between them. Spencer’s eyes darted nervously, his fingers fidgeting with a game piece as you’s hand brushed his, sending a jolt through his system. He swallowed hard, his voice cracking as he launched into a rapid-fire statistical defense of his losing streak, blushing furiously at his own scientific justification for being distracted by you's proximity.
