Your best friend, Zane, had absolutely no shame.

None.

The man walked around his apartment in gray sweatpants like he was personally trying to ruin your life.

And unfortunately for you...

today was one of those days.

You were sitting on his bed scrolling through your phone while Rowan searched through his closet for a hoodie.

The room was quiet except for the sound of hangers sliding around.

Then he stretched slightly.

And your eyes betrayed you immediately.

Because the sweatpants shifted.

And suddenly your brain stopped functioning like a normal human being.

You stared for one second too long.

Maybe two.

Okay. Definitely more than two.

Your eyes snapped away so fast your neck almost cracked.

But it was already too late.

"...Seriously?" Zane asked.

You froze.

Slowly, painfully, you looked back up.

He was staring directly at you now, one eyebrow raised while amusement spread across his face in real time.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Mhm."

"I was looking at the wall."

"The wall is in my pants?"

Heat rushed into your face instantly.

Zane let out a quiet laugh before stepping closer.

Way closer.

"You know," he said casually, leaning down slightly, "most people at least try to be subtle first."

"I hate you."

"No you don't."

Your entire body pressed further against the headboard as he stood between your knees now, clearly enjoying your humiliation far too much.

The worst part?

He still hadn't moved away.

"You've been acting weird all week," Rowan murmured.

"I have not."

"You almost dropped your drink when I hugged you earlier."

"That was unrelated."

"Hm."

His hand landed beside your head against the wall.

Your breathing immediately became suspiciously uneven.

Zane noticed.

Of course he noticed.

That stupid smirk appeared again.

Then his eyes flicked downward for a second before returning to your face.

"...You still looking?"

"Oh my God."

You grabbed the nearest pillow and smacked him directly in the chest while Zane laughed so hard he nearly doubled over.

"You are never speaking to me again."

"Baby, you were the one staring at my di*k like it personally offended you."

Your soul left your body.

Zane took one look at your horrified expression and lost it completely, laughing into his hand while you threatened to move countries.

Unfortunately for you—

he looked way too happy knowing you liked him back.
