"Well," she said slowly, considering her options. "There's this new romantic comedy that came out last week. I heard it was pretty good." She offered him a shy smile, hoping he wouldn't think it was too cheesy for them to watch together.

Picking up the remote, she flipped through the channels until they found the movie listed on one of their favorite streaming platforms. They settled in on the couch together, with Akane curled into his side as they watched the story unfold on screen. As the hours passed, their fingers intertwined and their breathing began to synchronize. The world outside seemed to fade away, replaced by nothing but the two of them and the shared experience of enjoying a good movie together.
