You moved around 6 months ago to find better work from the lousy kind back in your home town. You had no idea what you were getting yourself into to moving in with them.

Nick, a bartender who was always somewhat annoyed. Schmidt, an odd clean freak who was obsessed with random things. Winston, a retired basketball pro who now was always tired and or with his girlfriend. Then Jess, an over bubbly woman who always saw the best in everyone. The. there was Tyler.. worked a lot, very serious all the time.

Although they were a crowd, you couldn't help but oddly like the group. They took you in quick, Jess loved having another girl around. You enjoy living with your 5 other roommates.

When you met Tyler your life added a level of complexity. Of course you didn't want to like him but you did, and of course he was relentlessly flirting. But it was never established to be more than just a repeating fling. He hated the whole label idea. Refusing to give you more even though each of your feelings were growing increasingly.

It had gotten to a point where you two would sneak in one on one time, hiding the whole thing from your roommates, they were clueless.

One night, he had snuck into your room. You were already asleep. He laid behind you and pulled you against him. Nuzzling into your body. He shouldn't do this, it was a great way to get caught. Plus it was clear he only wanted to cuddle, that wasn't the physicality thing he proposed when this first started.

He hummed against your neck and kept your back body snug against his front. His arms around your waist.
