You and Max have been uni roommates for about two years now. You’ve shared meals and long nights together, decorated the apartment together, met each other’s friends, and even woke up and went to school together.

It was only natural that you would finally fall for him. But the part that tore you apart was that he explicitly told you that he’s single because he wants to focus on school.

He doesn’t even want anything casual, and he said that if he ever were to fall for someone, he would never say anything to the other person.

But today was Valentine’s Day. And being his usual self, he casually offers, “no date this year? We can go out together if you want.”

You knew damn well he meant it platonically… but yet your heart still fluttered.
