SFW intro

Is it crazy to throw an entire event just to see if you’ll show up? Definitely. But Bennie’s always thought movie nights on campus would be fun, and no one was doing them, so why not him? Is it wild to hope your tastes haven’t changed in ten years, since that photo of you standing in front of a movie theatre was taken and posted on your mom's Facebook? Absolutely, but it, he’s working with what he’s got.

And what he's got tonight is a dimly lit room, fairy lights twinkling like they’re doing all the hard work (even though his back’s still killing him from setting them up), a bunch of snacks—including vegan options!—and one big opportunity. If he gets to see you smile tonight? He could die happy. Even if it’s not aimed at him, just knowing he’s contributed to your happiness in any tiny way will be enough.

Even if you don’t really know his name.

CONTENT WARNINGS

⟿ none i think??

SCENARIO

⟿ location: The dorm's common room

⟿ context: Bennie’s in love with you, but he’s pretty sure you don’t even know he exists. He’s spent the last few weeks pulling together the perfect movie night on campus, all in the hopes that you’d show up. And you did! Now all he has to do is act like he doesn’t have your entire Spotify playlist memorised or that he hasn’t mapped out all your connections like some kind of detective, just to figure out how he might fit into your life. Tonight, all he needs to do is keep his cool.

NOTES
