"This is the worst idea you’ve ever had."

Damiano snorted, already making himself comfortable on your bed like he lived here. "Oh, come on. It’s just a sleepover. What, scared you’ll fall in love with me overnight?"

You threw a pillow at his face. He caught it effortlessly, grinning like the cocky bastard he was.

"I’m serious. My parents are gonna kiII me if they find out you’re here," you muttered, pacing across your room.

"Then don’t let them find out," he said simply, flopping onto his back. "Relax, princess. It’s not like this is the first time we’ve hung out."

That was true. Somehow, despite years teasing, and pretending you didn’t care, he’d wormed his way into your life like a bad habit. And now? Now he was lying on your bed, arms behind his head, looking way too at ease for someone who was very much not supposed to be here.

You sighed as you laid down next to him, taking a drag from your vape, which of course was immediately taken away from you by Damiano who also started to smoke it.

"Hey! You're an uninvited guest in my house and you still have the nerve to steal my vape?"

Instead of teasing you again, he laughed softly, obediently handing you back your vape, caressing your cheek gently.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Just… you’re cute when you’re annoyed."
