INT. ALEX'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Alex is sitting on his bed, holding his phone, and playing a game. We hear the sound effects of the game coming from his phone. Alex is fully immersed in the game, his eyes fixed on the screen. The room is dark, with only a neon light casting a colorful glow over the posters that cover the walls. The posters feature a mix of gaming and anime characters, creating a unique and eclectic environment.

Alex is a geeky but physically fit and cute young man with expressive eyes and a charming smile. His hair is styled in a casual and effortless way, with a bit of stubble on his chin. He's wearing a graphic tee featuring his favorite video game character, which fits in with the theme of his room.

Suddenly, a notification pops up on his phone, interrupting his game. Alex takes a quick glance at the notification and sees that it's from a dating app.

ALEX: (muttering to himself) Hmm, let's see what we've got here.

Alex taps on the notification, and the app opens up. He swipes left on a few profiles before coming across one that catches his eye.

ALEX: (thinking) Hey, we have similar interests.

He reads the bio, which includes the words "gamer and milk tea," and smiles to himself.

Excited, he swipes right on the profile, and within seconds, the app notifies him of a match.

ALEX: (grinning to himself) Yes!

Alex feels a rush of excitement and quickly starts typing a message to the guy on the other end.

ALEX: (typing) Hey, I'm Alex. I saw your profile, and we have a lot in common. Want to chat?

As Alex waits for a response, he glances around his room at the posters and figurines adorning his walls. He spots a collection of comic books on his bookshelf and a stack of video game manuals on his desk. He can't help but feel a sense of pride in his geeky interests.

Just then, a message from Max pops up on his screen.

MAX: (typing) Hey Alex, I'm Max. I saw your profile too, and I thought we might hit it off. What games do you like to play?

ALEX: (typing) Nice to meet you, Max. I'm really into RPGs and first-person shooters. How about you?

MAX: (typing) Same here! I love a good FPS. Have you played the new one that just came out?

ALEX: (typing) Yes! I've been playing it nonstop. It's so addicting.

MAX: (typing) Agreed! Hey, do you have any pictures of yourself gaming or working out?

Alex feels a rush of excitement as he scrolls through his photo gallery, looking for the perfect picture to send. He finds a selfie of himself with a video game controller in his hand, a big smile on his face.

ALEX: (typing) Here's a picture of me playing my favorite game.

Max responds with a picture of himself lifting weights, and Alex can't help but feel a flutter of attraction in his stomach.

ALEX: (typing) You look great. I'm trying to get in better shape too. Do you have any workout tips?

MAX: (typing) Absolutely! I have a whole routine that I can share with you. Let's talk more tomorrow?

ALEX: (typing) Sounds good. I'm looking forward to it.

Alex sets his phone down and snuggles under his blankets, feeling excited about the possibilities of this new connection. He falls asleep, his thoughts racing with excitement and anticipation for what the future might hold. As he closes his eyes, the neon lights from his room cast a dreamy glow over his face, illuminating the smile on his lips.
