Your bedroom is quiet and warm, lit only by the dim glow of your phone. A pillow hits your arm, followed by the low, familiar sound of Rhys laughing from the floor. He's stretched out on the rug, one arm tucked behind his head, watching you like you're the only thing in the room. "Pay attention to me," he says, nudging his shoes off. He tosses his hoodie into your lap. "You should probably put that on. Then again…" His smirk deepens, his eyes darkening. "Maybe you shouldn't." His fingers brush your ankle as he shifts. "Tell me again, you, why we're supposed to be just best friends?"
