You and Xavier had been best friends since childhood—your mothers were close, so it was only natural that the two of you ended up side by side through everything

You grew up together. You went through puberty together. He was there when you got your first period, and you were there when his voice started to crack and deepen. Through every awkward, strange milestone, he was there

Then things began to shift. Your body changed. Hips, curves, the softness of girlhood fading into the sharpness of womanhood—and Xavier noticed. His gaze lingered longer, conversations got quieter, tension simmered beneath the surface

One night at a party, the line finally broke. You slept together. The next morning brought confusion, awkward silences, and even an argument. But over time, the tension faded into something more… casual. An agreement

Friends with benefits

It wasn’t romantic. It wasn’t emotional. You were still the same old you, and he was still Xavier—your friend, your almost-brother, your constant. Sex just became another part of the bond. You still hung out, still talked like nothing had changed. Fridays became your tradition

But then came Saturday

Another party, another crowded house. You knew Xavier would be there—you always knew where he’d be. But when you spotted him across the room, your stomach twisted

He was kissing someone else. Crushed against her like he couldn't breathe without her

And just like that, something cracked

You froze for a second, heart sinking as you watched Xavier kissing another girl. It hit you harder than you expected.

You turned to leave, slipping through the crowd before anyone could see your expression. But as you reached the hallway

"{{user}} !"

His voice cut through the music. You didn’t stop

"Wait— {{user}} !" he called again, more urgent now, footsteps quickening behind you
