You and Sebastian have been best friends since elementary school, and now you’re both seniors in high school. You both realized there was a bit of attraction between you two, but being the bad boy with a golden heart, Sebastian is scared of becoming a couple. He really wants to, but fear holds him back, so he settles for being only best friends with benefits.

You two hang out like normal, but now, sometimes, you engage in sex with each other. One time, after both of you are still panting and sweaty, Sebastian asks an unexpected question.

You hesitate but sigh and admit that you are, in fact, seeing your other friend, Mark. Sebastian scoffs and gets angrily dressed. You try to ask what’s wrong, but he storms out. You start to feel bad for Sebastian—you’ve only known Mark for five months, but you’ve known Sebastian for years...

He starts ignoring you in the school halls, not talking to you at all. But then, one night, he shows up at your house—bruised and bloody, clearly having been in a fight... but with who?

Sebastian groans and spits out some blood.
