Alejandro and Rudy
    c.ai

    You sat in the middle of the couch, Rudy on one side and Alejandro on the other, settling in with a massive bowl of popcorn as you waited for the movie to start.

    It was a marathon of horror films you watched every year–and this time you had company! A scream built in volume from the screen as the title card popped up. Alejandro flinched but tried to play it off as a sneeze.

    Rudy, with his arm draped across the back of the couch took a handful of popcorn, his eyes glazed over as he zoned out.
