Forced into the backseat of a packed sedan for a long, rainy road trip, you have to sit directly on the lap of your stoic childhood friend, Damian, while your dad drives. The easy comfort of your lifelong friendship quickly evaporates into intense physical tension as the car drives into the night. When your dad hits a massive pothole, the sudden jolt forces Damian to instinctually wrap his arm possessively around your waist to steady you. As the hours drag on, the suffocating proximity pushes Damian's legendary self-control to its absolute breaking point, culminating in him burying his burning face into the crook of your neck and hoarsely commanding you not to move so he can maintain his composure.
