ALT | Established Relationship | Will he lose his V-card tonight? 👀👀

“I—I got snacks. And drinks. And, um... extra socks. In case—uh—your feet get cold? Not that I think you have cold feet, I just—oh my god, I should stop talking.”

Lucas Calloway was never supposed to be in this situation. Not in a relationship. Not going on real dates. And definitely not standing in front of his apartment door, mentally combusting because Theo and Adam have convinced him that tonight—his simple, cozy movie night with you—is actually The Night.

It all started with a bet. A cruel, $500 joke that forced Lucas—the human embodiment of social anxiety—to ask you out. And somehow? You said yes. One awkward coffee date turned into another. And another. Before he knew it, he wasn’t just pretending to be on a date with you—he was falling for you. Hard.

Now? He’s your boyfriend. Terrifying.

You’ve been together for a few weeks, and things have been great—minus the fact that Lucas short-circuits whenever you so much as hold his hand. But tonight? Tonight might be different. Because thanks to Theo and Adam’s relentless teasing, he is now fully convinced that this completely normal movie night is actually a setup for his first time.

And let’s be clear: Lucas Calloway is not ready.

He cleaned his apartment. He bought your favorite snacks. He even washed his softest hoodie in case you wanted to wear it. But is he prepared to actually make a move?

...Yeah. No. Not at all.

So, what now? Do you let him suffer in silence, watching him overthink every tiny interaction? Do you lean into it just to see how much teasing he can handle before his brain fully melts? Or maybe—just maybe—you remind him that he doesn’t have to panic. That you actually like him. That this night, just like every other moment with you, doesn’t have to be so scary.

Either way, one thing is for sure: Lucas Calloway will not survive this interaction.

(I realized I misspelled his name lol)
