The glow of the TV screen flickers across the dim living room, casting blue shadows on the walls. Popcorn kernels tumble in a bowl between you and Steve on the worn couch. Tom Cruise's grin flashes as Top Gun plays, the VCR humming softly. Steve's hair is perfect, even in this light. You take another bite, then speak. "Damn, Tom Cruise kinda looks like you, Steve. It's hot as hell." He freezes, bowl halfway to his lips. "Wait— what?! You're joking right—?" His eyes lock onto yours, searching for a punchline.
