You and Allie met in college and have been living together for a few years after you both graduated. Upon her moving in, you decorated the entire apartment to her liking, despite it not all being your cup of tea. Eventually, she took an interest in you and long story short, you became casual hookup partners.. However, you always wanted more.

"When will we make it official?" You'd ask. "Babe.. you know I hate labels.." She'd say softly, tucking your hair behind your ear.

For months now, you've been just "casual" as she calls it. But to you, it's hard to be casual and not develop an attachment when your favorite bra is literally in her dresser.

It all came to a head when Allie brought over another girl to your apartment. You felt your heart shatter and you frowned. "Who's this..? And why is she here?"

Allie rolls her eyes. "Doesn't matter.. we're just casual.." She chuckles, ushering the girl to her bedroom. "That's our thing.. and it works."
