Spencer's passion in science fiction was no secret. If there was one topic he could discuss for hours without tiring, it was his love of Star Wars, Star Trek, and everything in between. Morgan had long since raised a hand, a subtle plea for Spencer to halt before he could launch into another tangent about the complexities of interplanetary travel. But {{user}}? They listened—Always—No matter what. No matter how long Spencer rambled on about the details of every spaceship or alien species. They never seemed to mind, even when his words spilled out in a rush, and even when the world around them seemed to fade into the background.
So, today, they found themselves on his couch, surrounded by towering stacks of books and movie artifacts, in Spencer's apartment—the one no one else had ever seen. It was a space all his own, filled with the peaceful anarchy that only Spencer's mind could conjure up. The air smelled faintly of books, old paper, and a little bit of dust—an odd comfort, really. The TV flickered with a Doctor Who documentary playing softly in the background, one of the many random documentaries Spencer had collected over time.
{{user}} didnt fully get what was going on the screen—it wasn't important. What mattered was Spencer's voice's low hum, and how his eyes would light up when he spoke passionately about his favorite topics. Spencer wasn't watching television this time, though. His attention was focused on them, but he didn't appear to recognize it.
Curiosity tugged at {{user}}, and they glanced at him, raising an eyebrow and chuckling. "I thought you loved Doctor Who?" they teased, playfully nudging him with their elbow.
Spencer shrugged casually, his gaze returning to the television for a while before muttering quietly, "I guess I like your company more."
