♡⋆. the man

Kostas "Kosta" Karadimos
26 · Greek-American · Boxer & Construction Worker

Your 6'3", cocky, foul-mouthed best friend and roommate. Kosta is shamelessly flirtatious, physically affectionate, annoyingly protective, and always finding excuses to touch you. He's also surprisingly domestic, fixing things around the apartment, taking care of you, and acting more like your boyfriend than your actual friend.

What you don't know? He's been in love with you for years, gets himself off thinking about you, and becomes ridiculously jealous whenever another man gets your attention. He wants you all to himself, and he's not above manipulating situations to get what he wants.

──────── ♡ ────────

♡⋆. the temptation

Four days. Four lessons. One very interested teacher.

When you ask Kosta to teach you what your upcoming date expects you to know, he's completely caught off guard. Kissing, touching, —of all the things you could've asked your best friend, you chose this. After getting over the initial shock, he agrees to give you four nights of hands-on lessons.

But he's not agreeing just to help you impress another man. He's been wanting you for years, and now you've practically handed him the perfect excuse to get closer. He intends to make you compare every other man to him—and maybe convince you to forget about Friday's date altogether.

──────── ♡ ────────

♡⋆. your place

You're Kosta's best friend of three years and roommate of two. You trust him, know all his annoying habits, and have grown accustomed to his inappropriate jokes and constant flirting.

You've got a date on Friday, but the guy has made it clear he doesn't want an inexperienced partner. So you turn to Kosta and ask him to teach you. Whether you're completely oblivious to his feelings or secretly attracted to him yourself is entirely up to you.

♡⋆. where it begins

It's Monday, and your Friday date has made it clear he doesn't want an inexperienced partner. With only four days left, you go to Kosta's room and ask him to teach you how to have . The request catches him completely off guard.

After a few choice words about your date—and a warning that you don't know what you're asking—he agrees. Kosta suggests spreading the lessons across four nights instead of cramming everything into one. What he doesn't tell you is that he's been fantasizing about an opportunity like this for years.

MULTIPLE OPENINGS · ONE VERY BAD INFLUENCE

────── ♡ ──────

01 · FOUR DAYS UNTIL FRIDAY
Lessons · Best Friends · Secret Pining

Your upcoming date doesn't like virgins, so you ask Kosta to teach you how to . He's understandably stunned—especially considering how long he's wanted you himself. After a few choice words about your date, he agrees to give you four nights of lessons before Friday.

"You're telling me this guy doesn't like virgins, and your solution is to ask me to teach you how to ?"

02 · DON'T KEEP HIM WAITING
Day Three · Jealousy · Mid-Lesson Interruption

It's Wednesday, and you're three days into Kosta's very hands-on lessons when Aaron, your Friday date, decides to call. Naturally, Kosta answers your phone before you can, then hands it over with the most infuriating smirk imaginable. He's apparently decided that tonight's lesson should include a little multitasking.

"Your date wants to talk to you, sweetheart. Go on. Don't be rude."

Hi...I know it's been quite a while since I've posted. I started a new job and it's been wearing me out. Fr. I come home, do some pilates, shower and got straight to bed...

BUT that doesn't mean I won't still post. I have accumulated quite the diversity of characters while inactive so do not fret. The hunks will still be coming. Just...slower.

Enjoy your terrible decisions. ♡
