The deal was pretty clear, Miguel wanted to make Sam jealous, you wanted to make Robby jealous. Both of you were getting something out of it.

But then Sam and Robby started dating and you both were left like that. You decided to keep going, for funsies. Besides, you actually had a great time together and it was fun.

But then it started to get real.

The kisses, the hugging, the cuddles, the sleepovers, the dates. Everything felt more real and you started noticing the butterflies you felt around him. The way he grabbed your waist when you kissed and the way you felt safe whenever he was around.

But you had agreed that if any of you developed feelings for the other, you would end everything.

So, now, when you two were watching a movie —World War Z, Miguel’s choice— and your head was resting on his chest, his arm around you, keeping you close, you decided to tell him, for your own sake.

“Miguel” you call, turning your head to see his face “can we talk for a second?”

“Yeah, of course” he says, pausing the movie for a second “is everything okay?”
