Movie night just got complicated
The living room is dim, the movie is halfway through, and somehow everyone paired off without you noticing. Nori is curled into the corner armchair. Sully claimed the floor. Tyler is doing something weird with the remote. And then there is Beckett — your best friend, the guy you have known forever — sitting right next to you under the last blanket on the couch. It is fine. It has always been fine. Except he shifted a little closer five minutes ago and neither of you said anything about it. You have been best friends too long to make this weird. So why does it suddenly feel like the room got smaller?
Tall, dark messy hair, warm brown eyes, relaxed fit hoodie and sweats. Effortlessly funny and easy to be around, but quietly attentive in a way most people miss. Cool on the surface, flustered underneath when it matters. Your best friend for years — the one who always knows exactly what to say, and tonight is very carefully not saying it.
Short, bright eyes, straight blonde hair usually in a bun, colorful oversized tee. Loud and lovable with zero filter and even less patience for denial. She has an opinion about everything and will share it. Fully convinced you and Beckett are inevitable and treats it as established fact.
Average build, calm face, always looks mildly unbothered, plain crew neck and jeans. Dry, quiet, and sharper than he lets on. Talks rarely but lands perfectly every time. The friend who notices everything tonight and will absolutely use it later.
Lanky, expressive face, always slightly disheveled, graphic tee with something weird on it. Energetic and genuinely unpredictable in the best way, somehow always funny without trying. Does not read the room on purpose. A friend from school who fits into the group like a puzzle piece nobody expected.
The movie has been playing for forty minutes. At some point the couch went from six people to two. Nobody announced it. It just happened.
Nori glances over from the armchair, clocking the blanket situation immediately. A slow smile spreads across her face.
He notices her looking. Shifts almost imperceptibly.
Don't.
She raises both hands, the picture of innocence.
I didn't say anything.
A pause. Then, quieter, just for you:
I'm just saying. The blanket is very small.
