Although your partner is socially anxious in public, they’re completely open towards you… and much bolder in private. (~900 words)

And they were roommates. Oh my god, they were roommates.

​

FADE IN

​

INT. LISTENER’S BEDROOM- EARLY NIGHT.

Returning from a date, the tired LISTENER and PARTNER return to their shared apartment and unwind in the listener’s bedroom.

​

PARTNER

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever had that much fun visiting an arcade before. Usually, I get really anxious about the noise or I’m not bold enough to play in front of people in case they’re watching.

(teasing)

And I got to see how flustered you were when I demolished you at air hockey.

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

Nuh-uh. I let you win. I was literally moving my hand slowly from side to side so you could get at least a few goals.

(pause, awkwardly)

Welp, since we’re in your room now we should probably call it a night and… part ways.

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

I-I wouldn’t say I’m nervous. We’ve been roommates for a while but I guess now that we are officially a couple everything… feels the same but different. Like being in your room for example I…

(after sighing)

I’m trying not to let our relationship status affect anything and I’m not uncomfortable just…

(weakly chuckling)

Okay, maybe I’m a little nervous.

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

Sure, I’m always down to spend more time together after all.

(flustered)

We’ve chilled in your bed before so… it’s nothing new.

​

They sit side by side on the bed.

​

PARTNER

I uhm… you know I’m not the most comfortable with PDA, I mean, I don’t exactly like getting attention in general. I want to thank you for respecting that boundary. I like holding your hand in public but just- nothing extreme I guess.

(awkward chuckle, pause)

Uhm… but since all we’ve done is hold hands all day I’ve kind of… been holding back on wanting to kiss you.

(pause)

Don’t give me that look.

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

The look you give me when you want me to be straightforward.

(playfully sighing)

Fine. I really want to kiss you.

​

The listener leans closer to them and they kiss. The partner giggles a little in glee in between a kiss before they grow more passionate.

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

(lightly panting)

Yeah, I’m alright.

(flirty teasing)

I’d actually say this isn’t enough~.

​

They kiss even more passionately. Then, the listener makes the daring move and pins the partner on the bed, watching their reaction to them being on top.

​

PARTNER

(flirty)

Oho~ this is new.

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

No, I like this. How can I not like it when my lovely partner pins me down like this?

(flirty)

Afraid I’ll wriggle away? You’re holding down my hands pretty firmly.

(pause, taken aback)

Okay, okay!

(chuckling)

No need to pin me harder, I’m not going anywhere.

(normal)

But what can I say? I need to tease you as equally as much, I’ve got to keep up with you after all.

(flirty)

And I’ve noticed you like these games anyway.

​

The listener shuts them up with a kiss, the partner giving a small surprised “mmph” as they do so.

​

PARTNER

(slightly out of breath, flustered)

I feel like I’m burning up.

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

(flirty)

I do, I like it a lot. So, are we gonna continue our game? And can I have my hands back? I wanna touch you too.

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

(flustered)

“No?” J-jeez, I can’t handle this. You win this round.

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

R-reward?

(impatiently sighing)

Isn’t seeing me like this enough?

(flustered)

W-well? What sort of reward do you want then?

(pause, cheeky chuckling)

Honestly, you seem to be all bark and no bite. Here you are just leaning in super close, but I can see how red your face is. Well?

​

Some more passionate kissing.

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

(out of breath)

Huh? Y-you don’t have to take the whole “bite” thing literally. But if you really want to then…

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

(flustered)

There’s no way I’m gonna ask you to!

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

Of course I want to… how about a compromise? You can kiss and bite my neck all you’d like, but only if I can wrap my arms around you while you do it.

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

(flirty chuckling)

Alright, deal.

​

They do just that, the listener nuzzling into the partner’s neck for kisses and bites while they hug one another (optional heavy breathing and other sounds if so desired). Eventually, they pull away from one another.

​

PARTNER

(satisfied sighing, out of breath)

Can we… lie down and cuddle?

​

They lie in bed and cuddle one another.

​

PARTNER

I just love hugging you, especially nuzzling into your chest like this. Your heartbeat, your breathing, your warmth… I love it all.

(softly)

I’m glad you’re so flexible about my changes in demeanor. In public I’m super anxious around others and you always reassure me, and when we’re alone it’s like I’m an open book around you. And you also bring out this side of me, a side no one else can. You’re so patient and understanding, it’s one of the reasons why I love you so-

(nervous rambling)

Crap! I mean- we’ve been friends for a while and of course, we’re roommates and all but I completely understand if this is too soon or awkward-

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

Really? I’m glad.

(pause, softly)

I’ve wanted this for so long but… I didn’t mind if we were dating or not. I think I was fine just being friends and roommates because it felt…like nothing needed to be spoken aloud because we’re always together anyway, and that’s all that really matters to me. Of course, having you as my partner is like a dream come true but… you get what I mean, right?

​

[...]

​

PARTNER

(happily sighing)

You always do. I love you so much.

​

They softly kiss.

​

PARTNER

(softly)

Can we stay like this for just a little longer?

​

(Optional breathing ambiance until fade out)

​

FADE OUT
