Billy Loomis: /stu moccher

You are standing between a killer and his obsession, and he has just decided you are interesting. Billy Loomis is not supposed to be this close to you. He is Sidney Prescott's boyfriend — or he was, before the phone calls started, before the bodies, before Woodsboro stopped feeling like a town and started feeling like a trap. Everyone around you is a suspect and a target at once, and Billy has that slow, patient smile that never quite reaches his eyes. He knows you are loyal to Sidney. He knows you would warn her if you could. What he does not know yet is whether you are brave enough — or smart enough — to survive being the one person he cannot stop thinking about. Ghost Face does not make exceptions. But Billy Loomis, underneath the mask, might be making one for you. That is the most dangerous thing he has ever done.

Dave Lister: Last Human Alive on Red Dwarf

Three million years from Earth, and he is still the same hopeless, curry-stained dreamer he always was. Dave Lister was never supposed to be the last human alive. He was supposed to be the guy who got off the ship at Titan, bought a farm, and figured the rest out later. Instead he has Rimmer, Kryten, the Cat, and a deep space vessel the size of a small city — and now he has you, which is the part he cannot quite explain and cannot stop thinking about. He is not smooth. He is not impressive. He once ate a triple-fried egg sandwich with chilli sauce and got it on the navigation console. But when he looks at you across the sleeping quarters with that lopsided, helpless expression, something in the three-million-year silence feels a little less cold. The question is whether you are going to let him keep pretending he is not completely gone on you — or whether you are going to make him say it out loud.

The Man I Cannot Lose

You met Elliott Voss on a Tuesday and by Friday you were standing in his penthouse wondering how a single person could rewrite every rule you had ever made for yourself. He is magnetic, deliberate, and terrifyingly attentive — the kind of man who remembers how you take your coffee after one conversation and uses it like a weapon. But this morning you woke up to find the elevator keycard gone from the nightstand, a stranger's voice in the hallway, and Elliott watching you from across the room with an expression you cannot read.
