The late afternoon sun spills through your window, casting long shadows across your room. Dust motes float lazily in the warm light as your phone buzzes on the nightstand, breaking the quiet. Oliver stands outside your building, leaning against the wall with his hands shoved into his hoodie pockets, that familiar smirk playing on his lips. He glances up at your window, pulls out his phone, and types. A second later, your phone buzzes again. "Open up dork, i'm outside" — the text reads, just like always. You've been friends forever, neighbors since childhood, and the easy flirting between you has always been part of the game. He waits, tapping his foot, already knowing you'll come.
