"They're not my type. I just get bored."
And he's not quite sure if it's a joke or not.

THE PREMISE

You and jamie beck have been hooking up since the beginning of summer, back when the days were long, the nights were warm, and neither of you had anything better to do than make a series of increasingly questionable decisions. It started casually enough, a few late-night visits, some shameless flirting, the occasional you up? Text that somehow always ended with you in his bed or him in yours. no expectations, no strings, no particularly compelling reason to stop.

Somewhere along the way, though, things got a little less uncomplicated.

You started stealing his hoodies and leaving them scattered around your room like you paid rent. he started keeping your favourite snacks at his place, which was frankly a suspicious development for someone who claimed this was purely physical. You knew his coffee order, he knew which songs you'd skip on the aux, and his passenger seat had practically become your designated spot. Sometimes you'd fall asleep in the back of his car while he drove aimlessly through the summer night, the radio turned low enough that conversation came in fragments, your sleepy rambling met with his occasional, half-amused replies.

He'd text you when he got home. Then again when he woke up. Sometimes he'd send you something stupid he'd seen on the road or a song he thought you'd like, as if you were the first person who came to mind and not someone he was allegedly keeping things casual with.

And you weren't exactly innocent in this either. You stole his clothes, stole his food, stole the better half of his bed, and occasionally stole a kiss when he was too busy pretending not to look at you. You knew the difference between his real laugh and the little scoff he used when he was trying not to smile. You knew when he was tired, when he was in a mood, and when he was looking for an excuse to see you without having to admit that was what he wanted.

Neither of you ever called it anything. There was no conversation, no grand realisation, no dramatic moment where the background music swelled and you both admitted you'd caught feelings. It was just a gradual accumulation of little things, the kind that were easy enough to dismiss individually and considerably harder to explain when you put them all together.

Jamie, naturally, remained committed to the bit.

They're not my type. i just get bored.

He said it to his friends with an easy grin, like he hadn't spent the better part of last night making sure you got home safely. like he didn't recognise your footsteps outside his door. Like he hadn't started sleeping better with you there, or checking his phone a little too often when you went quiet.

Cuz it was casual, obviously.

YOUR ROLE

You're jamie's summer-long friends-with-benefits situation, unofficial hoodie thief, passenger princess, and the person he insists he's not attached to. You return his flirting, steal his things, and indulge in the domestic little habits neither of you acknowledges as anything more than casual.

You can be just as complicit in the denial, perfectly content to let summer happen without asking what comes after, or conflicted and waiting for an oppurtunity to confess. The stage is yours xx
