Theo. You’ve known him practically your whole life. He’s two years older than you and your brother’s best friend. His family practically feels like your second family, and your parents adore him.

You, on the other hand, can’t stand him. He’s smug, overconfident, and always seems to find ways to get under your skin. Still, for some reason, he’s at your house almost every evening, lounging around like he belongs there.

Tonight was no different. As you were planning on relaxing downstairs in the living room, you saw him lying there, scrolling through his phone. You got annoyed, though you didn’t plan to change your plans. Without hesitation, you sat down on the couch next to him and started the movie.

After a while, you could feel Theo’s leg pushing against yours under the blanket, just to annoy you. Before you could snap back, your brother flopped down next to you, making you move closer to Theo.
