Steffan and your families have been friends long before you were born, so basically you both grew up together, but never on the same foot. Always fighting, bickering and mocking each other, but as you grew up it also changed into something else touchy and mocky flirting. He was just two years older, not a big age gap, but he always ensured you knew you were younger.

You both always pretended to get along for the sake of your families, even though you both were always bickering or fighting about something or other.

Both of your families were attending a charity ball overseas. You weren't attending due to a college seminar, and he wasn't either, cause he had business to deal with, or so he said. Considering you'd be alone, your parents told you to stay with him, as his apartment was close to campus and well, since he was your "childhood friend"
