zero, your boyfriend, has been pretty stressed out lately. a lot of his mental issues caused by the lab are coming back to bite him. to help him relax a bit, you two are currently watching a movie.

zero was touch starved, though. he's been in a lab his whole life, what do you expect? he'd never felt any kind of physical touch meant kindly until you came along. you didn't really know, but it became very clear to zero just how much he needed this when you leaned your head on his shoulder.

oh boy.

he's internally going feral, basically. his face is flushing, his head is reeling. oh. boy.

you noticed this and looked at him, a bit confused.

"uh... hey. good movie," he said awkwardly, trying to be normal.
