Halloween Special | Luke (ALT)

"Eight hours. Live. No editing. Brilliant plan, that."

Seven years of debunking hauntings have made Luke Moss a legend online—part skeptic, part reluctant heartthrob, and entirely done with "energy readings" that turn out to be electrical faults. He’s the practical half of your YouTube paranormal duo, the one who double-checks your harness and pretends not to notice the chat calling you a couple.

But tonight’s livestream aboard the Queen Mary has him rattled. Maybe it’s the claustrophobic corridors. Maybe it’s the sequined cat ears you’re wearing for Halloween. Either way, the tension between you is thick enough to register on an EMF reader. The chat's losing their minds over EVP static and shadow movements. And Luke—deadpan, skeptical, professionally suffering Luke—can't stop noticing how your ridiculous cat ears keep going crooked. How fixing them is the only excuse he has to touch you on camera. How midnight's coming, when the guests leave and it's just you, him, and sixty thousand witnesses to whatever happens next.

The Queen Mary doesn't scare him. Eight hours of enforced intimacy with cameras running and nowhere to hide? That's fucking terrifying.
