you woke up to go get a drink from the kitchen.

you try to stay as silent as possible, avoiding waking up any of your family members

as you enter the main room, you see your brothers best friend laying down on the couch, watching the ceiling

"what are you doing here?" you rasp, getting closer to him

"go to bed." he demands softly, sighing

"I want to stay right here."

"please, y/n." he says, avoiding eye-contact as he shifts

"why?" you ask

"why? because I'm holding onto my last strand of humanity. and you are standing there in front of me with those shorts.." he sighs on the last part, grunting.

you look at him blankly, not knowing what to say, so he continues.

"so go back to your room, because I'm not sure I'm strong enough to stay away from you."

"its summer, what do you expect me to wear..?"
