Writer’s Notes: I've been writing so many fantasy scripts and I love them sm, but a simple little script like this helps clear my head every once in a while so I can put a bit more thought into the longer scripts with more complicated plots. Hope you enjoy nonetheless!

Script Below:

​

\Narrator sits on the couch in their living room, idly scrolling through their phone, when they hear Listener’s tired footsteps walking down the hall towards the living room. Smiling to themself, Narrator calls out to them.**

\Playful** “Sounds like someone’s done with studying. C’mere, hang out with me for a while and relax.”

\Listener flops onto the couch next to Narrator with a sigh. Narrator laughs, setting their phone down.**

“Wow, all that studying really wore you out, huh?”

(Pause)

“Well, if it helps, it’s gonna pay off in the long run. It may be exhausting and frustrating and a pain in the ass for now, but it’ll be worth it.”

(Pause)

“Yeah, I promise.”

(Pause)

\Joking** “I mean, I promise, but only so long as spoken contracts aren’t legally binding in a court of law.”

\Narrator laughs as Listener scoffs and nudges Narrator with their shoulder.**

“Aw, c’mon, you know I’m just joking. You’re working really hard and it’s all gonna pay off some day, and then you’ll be able to get a good job and buy me a nice big mansion for being such a cool roommate.”

\Both laugh.**

“Alright, all jokes aside, someday, you’re gonna be happy you worked as hard as you are now, even if it is frustrating. But for tonight, you’re done dealing with all of that, you don’t have to look at it again. Just put it all out of your head and watch this movie with me.”

(Pause)

“Honestly, I don’t know. I just kinda turned it on and then started playing games on my phone because I have no attention span whatsoever.”

(Pause)

“Hey, don’t blame me! You know how I get after studying. My brain just doesn't want to work anymore, so I reward it with entertainment from the silly little glowy screens. You do the same thing!”

(Pause)

“Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just watch this movie with me. Or just sit with me and pretend to watch it, whatever you want to do.”

(Pause)

“Sure, do whatever you gotta do, but you better come back here to hang out with me. Don’t need you trying to do any more studying tonight, you workaholic.”

\Narrator chuckles.**

“Hey, while you’re up, would you mind grabbing me the ice cream from out of the freezer? I grabbed you some too, if you want it.”

(Pause)

“Yeah, no problem. I thought you might want something sweet to reward yourself with. Toss them over here, would you?”

\Listener grabs the ice cream from the fridge and hands it to Narrator before beginning to walk back down the hall. After a few moments they return.**

“Is that a blanket? Are you cold?”

(Pause)

“Oh, yeah, your desk is in that absolutely freezing corner of the room, isn’t it? No wonder you always look so miserable after finishing your homework.”

\Playful** “You know, if you’d have just told me that you were cold, I’d have given you my hoodie. You didn’t have to go back and grab your blanket.”

(Pause)

“Planning to fall asleep out here then?”

(Pause)

“I’m not judging, I promise. I was actually gonna do the same thing, if you don’t mind the company.”

(Pause)

“Oh, true. The couch is pretty small. Hm… We can always cuddle, if you want? That’d probably help you warm up, too.”

(Pause)

“No, I’d be fine with it. I mean, we’ve cuddled a few times, so I don’t think it’s too weird.”

(Pause)

“Yeah, sure. Move a bit closer, you can lay my head on my shoulder.”

\Listener scoots closer, leaning against Narrator. Narrator laughs.**

\Playful** “Oh my god, even your face feels cold! You’re just a little icicle. At this point, you’re gonna freeze if you try to eat any of that ice cream!”

(Pause)

“Then pull that blanket up here and wrap it around us. Let’s get you all warmed up.”

\Listener pulls the blanket around them and Narrator.**

“There we go. Isn’t that better? Now let’s eat some ice cream and watch this movie.”

\There’s a fairly long pause as both begin to eat their ice cream.**

“Hey, you’re shaking. Are you sure you’re not still cold?”

(Pause)

“You know, if you want to borrow my hoodie, that offer is still on the table.”

(Pause)

“Oh come on, you know I wouldn’t mind. I think we’ve both accidentally switched hoodies more times than we can count and it’s never bothered me. If you want to borrow my hoodie, I’m totally fine with it.”

(Pause)

“Yes, I promise. It’s all good.”

(Pause)

“Yeah, here, let me just take it off real quick. You mind sitting up for just a second?”

(Pause)

“Perfect, thank you.”

\Narrator takes their hoodie off and hands it to Listener, who puts it on.**

“Alright, how’s that? Feeling any warmer?”

(Pause)

\Joking** “Good, I’m glad. I’d hate for you to miss out on your ice cream just because you were too cold to handle it. That would’ve left me to finish it all, and though that would be a perilous task, I would have gladly endured it for you, my chilly little icicle friend.”

(Pause)

“Me? Selfish? Nonsense! I would be doing you a favor by getting rid of some of the coldness from you! If anything, it would be a burden to eat that much ice cream.”

(Pause)

“Yeah, well, you look like you’re going to fall asleep face-first in your ice cream anyway. Why don’t you just give it to me so you don’t have to worry about that?”

(Pause)

“C’mon, just give me your ice cream, you know you want to~”

\Narrator laughs when Listener refuses.**

“Ugh, fine, keep your ice cream. I guess I’ll just have to settle for eating my own and watching this movie.”

\There’s a few moments of silence as they turn back to the screen.**

“Oh. And it’s already over. I guess we missed the entire thing.”

\Narrator chuckles.**

“Here, toss me the remote. I’ll turn on something else that we actually want to watch.”

(Pause)

“Up to you, you can choose whatever you want.”

(Pause)

“Alright, sounds good. Let me just turn it on.”

\Narrator clicks a few buttons on the remote, turning on a different show/movie.**

“There we go. Now why don’t we just…”

\Looking at Listener, Narrator chuckles.**

“Oh my god, are you actually asleep? You still have your spoon in your mouth!”

\Narrator sighs softly before gently nudging Listener with their shoulder.**

\Gentle** “Hey. Hey. Sleepyhead, wake up for me.”

(Pause)

“Hey there. You awake now?”

(Pause)

“Yeah, you really fell asleep. I told you that you looked tired.”

(Pause)

“I’m not making fun of you. Not right now, anyway. I’m just saying that if you’re tired, you should go to bed. No point in forcing yourself to stay awake just for my sake.”

(Pause)

“Well we can spend more time together tomorrow, okay? For now, just get some sleep, alright?”

(Pause)

“No, it’s fine, you can still sleep out here. Let’s just move around a bit so it’ll be more comfortable.”

(Pause)

“First though, let me go put the ice cream back. We don’t need that melting all over the place while we sleep.”

\Listener stands up to put the ice cream away. Listener complains about the lack of warmth. Narrator laughs softly**

“No need to complain, I’ll be right back, I promise. Then you can go back to using me as a big, snuggly pillow.”

(Pause)

“Just be patient, I’ll be back in less than a minute, alright?”

\Narrator walks to the kitchen to put the ice cream away, returning soon after.**

\Amused** “Are you already drifting off again? God, you really wore yourself out with all that studying.”

(Pause)

“Okay, so how do you want to do this? What’s gonna be the most comfortable for you?”

(Pause)

“‘Too tired to think,’ huh? Well, let’s try this. I'm gonna put a pillow over on this end of the couch and sit over here. Why don’t you sit between my legs and lean back against my chest? That way you can use me as a pillow and we’ll both be comfortable.”

(Pause)

“I think it’ll be comfortable. And, honestly, it might be the only way we’ll both be able to fit on this couch.”

(Pause)

“Yeah, I won’t really be laying down exactly, but I don’t mind. I don’t plan on sleeping too much anyway. I’m not tired yet, so I’m just gonna watch TV for a bit.”

(Pause)

“Then come here. And bring the blanket, too. It’s getting kinda cold.”

\Listener lays against Narrator’s chest, wrapping the blanket around both of them.**

“See? Comfortable, right?”

(Pause)

\Playfully bragging** “Yeah, I’ve been told I’m very comfy. Some may even say that I’m the comfiest pillow they’ve ever had.”

(Pause)

“Aw, is someone jealous? Don’t worry, I’m your pillow first and foremost.”

\Narrator laughs.**

“Come on, you know you love my jokes. That’s why you’ve lived with me for this long. Well, that and my incredible cuddle abilities. And the fact I buy you food. And my amazing puns. And my insanely good looks. And my smokin’ hot body. God, I just really am the full package, aren’t I? Absolutely (hubby/wifey/spouse) material.”

\Listener rolls their eyes. Narrator laughs.**

“Hey, you know I am! I’m like, a ten out of ten. Marriage material for sure.”

(Pause)

\Playful** “You’re so mean to me! And here I am, being so incredibly nice and cute and letting you sleep on me. So, so rude!”

(Pause)

“Well at least admit that I’m a good cuddler. You gotta give me that.”

(Pause)

“Ha! I’ll count that as a win. Now hurry up and go to bed because apparently you get super snarky when you’re tired.”

(Pause)

“Oh, right, how could I forget? You’re always snarky.”

(Pause)

“Yeah, yeah, just shut up and go to bed.”

(Pause)

\Playful** “Hey! Rude! Go to bed before I decide that I don’t wanna cuddle with you anymore.”

(Pause)

“Look at that, you’re yawning! All that sass must be making you even more tired.”

(Pause)

\Quieter** “You’re just lucky that you’re cute when you yawn.”

(Pause)

“Huh? I didn’t say anything. Besides that you need to sleep, that is.”

(Pause)

“Shhh. Just go to bed, you grumpy little icicle. You need to rest up.”

(Pause)

“Nope, c’mon. Just lay your head on my shoulder so you can drift off into dreamland.”

(Pause)

“See, that’s better, isn’t it? So comfy~”

(Pause)

“Mhm. You alright if I wrap my arms around you? That way you don’t fall off the couch while you sleep.”

(Pause)

“Sweet. Now just lift your arms a bit.”

\Narrator wraps their arms around Listener, both of them snuggling closer together.**

“There. Now this is perfect. You comfortable?”

(Pause)

\Teasing**“You’re kinda mumbling. Was that a yes?”

(Pause)

“Hm. I guess I’ll take that as a yes, since you’re just snuggling into my neck at this point.”

(Pause)

“What, too tired to respond? I guess being sassy really did wear you out.”

\Narrator chuckles.**

“Sleep well, sleepyhead.”

\There’s a long pause as the movie continues to play, Listener drifting off as Narrator holds them close. After a while, Narrator softly whispers into Listener’s ear.**

\Soft, gentle (from here through the rest of the script)** “Hey, you asleep yet?”

\There’s a pause as Narrator waits for a response. When they don’t get a response, Narrator sighs softly.**

“Damn, you really were tired.”

\Narrator laughs quietly.**

“I’m kinda sad, you know. I really wanted to hang out with you tonight. Then again, this is pretty nice too. Cuddling with you is something I’ll never get tired of. Especially when you’re all relaxed like this, just leaning into me and letting me hold you close. Feeling how warm and relaxed you are against me, feeling your chest rise and fall as your breathing evens out. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me.”

(Short Pause)

“You know, I thought that you would’ve figured out that I have a huge crush on you by now. I’m not exactly the best at hiding my feelings, and I know I have a tendency to kinda flirty with you. I thought it was inevitable that you’d put two and two together, and that you’d realize that I’m a bit head-over-heels for you. Kinda have been since we first started rooming together, really. Just hanging out with you always makes my day, I love talking to you.”

“And I love being your friend, I really do. But I still want to be more with you, y’know? Do all that romantic stuff and make you feel loved and happy and… I dunno, I just want you to feel everything good. Especially when you think about me. That might be kinda selfish, but I mean, that’s kinda part of having a crush, right? That jealousy when you call someone else cute, always trying to get your attention, trying everything I can to get you to like me more - all that kind of stuff. Like, there’s selfless parts of it too, but I guess I just feel like it’s selfish, I guess? Because I don’t wanna distract you from your work, or your school stuff. And even if you do want to date someone, I don’t wanna make you feel awkward that I, your roommate, want to date you. I don’t wanna make you feel guilty or anything. And I feel like, well, you’re so sweet and such a good friend that if I did tell you that I had a crush on you, you’d feel weird about it because you wouldn’t want to hurt my feelings. Because that would be selfish of me, wouldn’t it? Making you deal with my feelings?”

\Narrator groans, troubled.**

“But, on the other hand, there are times that I feel like you might have feelings for me too? I dunno, it just seems like you look at me a lot sometimes, and you do a ton of the same stuff that I do for you, too. Getting me snacks, lending me your jacket, watching my favorite shows even when you hate them. Sometimes you even kinda flirt with me too. It all just feels like stuff that you wouldn’t really do for just a normal friend. I mean, I think I’m right… Right?”

\Narrator sighs.**

“I don’t even know any more. Why is all of this so hard? One second, I think I know what we are and what our relationship is - The next, I have no idea. I just wish I knew how to ask you about it without making it weird between us. I'm just too scared of losing you.”

\There’s a long pause as Narrator looks down at Listener.**

“Maybe someday I’ll finally find the nerve to tell you. Or, if I’m lucky, you might tell me. I can dream, right?”

\Narrator chuckles before sighing.**

“I guess for now, I’ll just enjoy… this. Whatever we have. Because honestly, I could spend the rest of my life like this and still be happy. So long as I have you, I’d be happy. It’d just be nice to be able to kiss you, too. It’d be really, really nice.”

“But at least for now, I get to hold you like this. I get to have you this close to me, sleeping against me. I can feel your heartbeat against my chest, and that alone is one of the greatest gifts I could ask for. For right now, it’s perfect. Whatever we have - it’s perfect.”

\The audio can either end here or continue with TV sounds/breathing sounds/heartbeat sounds/etc.**
