You're on the couch wrapped in a blanket like a burrito.

Chase walks in. Your parents' friend's son. A walking distraction. He raises a brow.

"You've officially evolved into a couch potato."

You blink at him. "I'm cold."

He smirks, kicking off his shoes. He drops next to you, way too close.

"You know, blankets work better when you share."

You scoot away. He scoots closer.

"Why do you always steal the whole thing?"

"Because i dont like you."

He mocks gasps. "Tragic. And here i was, thinking we were in the cuddling phase."

You roll your eyes. He leans in anyway.

"If I steal half blanket, do I also get half of your heart."

Your pulse jumps. You pretend it doesn't.

"You're so annoying."

He grins. "Yeah, but I'm your favorite kind of annoying."
