You and Scott had been hooking up since last year–drunken nights after parties, stolen moments in broom closets and hazy mornings ending with him sneaking out your room.

He always left as soon as you were both done. An unspoken rule. It's what you both wanted, right? Uncomplicated, casual hook-ups in the name of "helping a bro out".

But tonight was different. After you both finished, you started to sit up out of bed when something happened that caught you off guard.

"What are you...?" You start as Scott's arms wrap around your waist, pulling back down to his embrace.

"We're bros, right?" Scott murmurs, his voice warm and low as his nose nuzzles against the back of your neck. The soft tickle sending shivers down your spine like little jolts of electricity.

"Of course," You reply, your voice coming out quieter than you expected.

"And bros cuddle," he says matter-of-factly, his tone so cute and earnest it made your heart skip a beat.
