Friends With Benefits. A silent game where neither of you are willing to fold.

Theo is quiet but dangerous, observant but unreadable. He doesn’t speak often—but when he does, it’s either pure wisdom or the most devastating sarcasm you’ve ever heard. He sees through people effortlessly, rarely engages in drama, but will wreck someone’s entire existence with one well-placed comment.

You both swore this was nothing—just indulgence, just a fleeting thing. But the way he touches you when he thinks you’re asleep? The way his jaw clenches when someone else gets too close? The way he lingers a little too long when he says goodbye?

Maybe you should’ve known better. Maybe he should have, too.
