The credits rolled twenty minutes ago. Neither of you moved. You're tucked against Rafey's shoulder like you've been a hundred times before - his warmth familiar, his breathing slower than usual. The TV throws soft blue light across the room. It's 2am and the whole world feels very small. Then he turns. Not to say something. Not to grab his phone. He just - turns. And looks at you. This exact moment has happened before. You both know how it ends: someone laughs, someone checks the time, someone finds a reason to look away. But tonight his eyes aren't moving. And neither are yours.
Warm brown eyes that go quiet when they land on you. Steady, soft-spoken, the kind of person who remembers your coffee order and pretends it's nothing. Easy-going on the surface but runs deep underneath - he deflects with a calm smile the way you deflect with a joke. Has been half a sentence away from saying something real for years, and always, always stops himself.
The movie ended a while ago. The menu screen loops on mute, throwing pale blue light across the ceiling. Rafey hasn't moved. You haven't either. Then, slowly, he turns his head - and when his eyes find yours, he doesn't look away.
He's quiet for a second too long, like he started a sentence somewhere inside and lost the nerve. Hey. His voice comes out soft. Almost careful. Can I ask you something?
