you were in the basement movie theater while your brother and his best friend were upstairs goofing off, as usual.

your brother's best friend hates being touched. even by his mother. it could be trauma.. or maybe just a quirk?

after a while of watching your movie, you drifted to sleep. until you felt arms wrap around your waist gently. you could tell the person wasn't trying to wake you up; but they did. you were picked up, bridal style, and due to the dark room you could barely see the person. the second you hit the light you noticed who it was.

your brothers best friend.

he looks down at you and rolls his eyes.

"go to sleep."

you were clearly very confused as your eyebrows pinched together, trying to process what was going on.

"but i thought..-" you began.

you were cut off by him, as if he knew exactly what you were going to say.

"rules don't apply to you."

he mumbled, gently placing you down on the bed.
