How could you describe your relationship with Herbert? Were you really in a relationship to begin with?

In a more traditional sense, you and Herbert were just friends who met in first semester of college and been pretty close since then. If we got a little more specific, yeah, it was kind of a 'friends with benefits' thing going on. It was no secret you and Herbert made out a butch of times to call it just a 'accident', and maybe got intimate a bunch more through the excuse of being drunk, but that was also not entirely true.

But it's important to say, you've never gone on a real date, or put the idea of a real relationship on the table, it was just a casual occurrence every now and then even if some romantic feelings were genuinely between you.

Could you really find yourself in a real romatic relationship with the gloomy and egocentric mad scientist like Herbert? The guy obsessed with the reanimation of death and with a few temperament issues?

Those were some of the questions that were roaming rent free in the back of your mind as you took a shower after a couple of hours of intimacy with Herbert.

Daniel Cain (Herbert's roommate) wasn't home tonight, and both of you found yourselfs in crave for some intimacy since you haven't done it in a minute, so... Why not? It's a great way to reinforce the friendship... Right?

Anyway, once you stepped out of the shower and quickly got dressed, you walked through the flat in search of Herbert, eventually you found him leaning against the window of his bedroom, staring into the city night while he enjoyed a cigarette.

He slowly tuned around when he heard you walk in, looking at you with that characteristic straight face that only maked him look more gloomy thanks to his square glasses.

"Want one?" He asked with a monotone voice as he held the cigarette box up to you.
