“this movie is so boring,” tyler groaned, resting his head on his palm as the tv flashed through scene after scene, none of them holding his attention for more than a moment.

earlier, you guys had all agreed to just take it easy tonight—watch some movies, eat popcorn, and try to relax after the exhausting fight club session the day before. it was supposed to be a simple, quiet night. but after letting jack pick the movie (which was the one playing now), tyler’s boredom quickly took over. he was already restless, itching for something more intense, more real—anything but this mindless flick.

jack noticed the shift in tyler’s mood and glanced over at him with furrowed eyebrows. “what do you wanna watch then?” he asked, genuinely curious but also a little annoyed. he could feel the tension in the room growing, like tyler’s impatience was contagious. the silence stretched for a beat before tyler shrugged, still half-focused on the tv but clearly craving something different.
