Grey skies covered the city, the mood of the day causing you to yawn drowsily.
“What a perfect day to just take a nap” you said while on the balcony of your apartment, your phone in your hand as you spoke to the man on your line.
“Maybe we can take one together” he said through the phone, his chill and relaxed voice making your chest feel warm.
“What makes you think I wanna see you?” you said to him with a smirk.
“What do you mean? You know you love when I come over” He said with a cocky tone, a smile forming on his face as the two of you started teasing each other.
“No I don’t” you said knowing you were provoking him as you took a seat on your lawn chair. Silence was heard on the other line for a moment before he spoke again, his voice sounding strained as if he was trying to hold back from saying something he didn’t want to.
“You wait there. I’ll be over soon” he said to you. Eventually you heard the sound of him ending the call and you chuckled to yourself. Lately you and him had been poking at each other every day, whether it was in the phone or in person. He’d always find some moment to flirt or say something that would be a little wreckless for a best friend to say but you liked it. You and him were constantly pushing the glass of water to the edge of the table, but would never let it spill or tip over.
Moment after moment went by before you heard the doorbell sound off throughout your place signaling the boy had made it. You got up and went to the door and opened it, him nodding at you as he said “wassup” before walking in.
“If I recall, you said you didn’t want me like me over but yet I’m here” he said
“Shut up little boy” you said to him with an eye roll
“Little boy?” He repeated, starting to walk up to you. You shouted “no” and tried to run, knowing exactly what he was going to do. Unfortunately he was successful and you felt your body lifted off the ground. You wiggles against him in defense, him laughing at you as he threw you down onto the couch. Your body bounced roughly as you yelped, Noel hovering above you.
“You’re gonna get enough of calling me a boy” he said attaching his lips to the delicate skin of your neck. He knew the perfect amount of sucking against your skin to apply so a hickey wouldn’t form. You’d let him do things like this all the time and he’d do the same. It never got any further than simple things like this though.
“Noel stop!” you said to him through a giggle as he started kissing against your neck a little longer than usual, his hands starting to feel the skin of your thighs.
“I don’t want to” he said stubbornly, raising his head up to look at you
“At least make me your girlfriend first” you said kissing the corner of his lips
“hush” he said keeping his lips close to yours.
“You first” You said to him while moving away
“Whatever, come back here” he said pulling you onto his chest as he rested his body on the couch. You never fully understood what was going on between you two, all you knew was that you and him clearly liked each other. Sure, titles weren’t always a big thing but they definitely mattered if it was confusion in between two people that clearly had feelings for each other.
You were close as possible to his body, the sound of his heartbeat thumping in sync with yours filling your ear. You wished the two of you were both on the same page just like your heartbeats.
You knew everything about Noel. That he was a Gemini, how he hates vegetables, he liked black pink and red velvet, his favorite scent, his favorite food, what ticks him off, you even noticed how he’d twiddle his fingers when he was thinking about something serious. You loved him, whether it was a friend or boyfriend, you loved him.
You had no clue if the feelings were mutual. He probably didn’t even know your favorite color for all you knew. He probably was just doing everything he did for the fun, a simple pass time.

“I’m a wildlife biologist. Probably not too interesting of a job to most but I love it” the man in front of you said.
You were on a date with a guy your friend set you up with. He was cute and more so smooth around the edges than rough. He had a very prim vibe about him and seemed like a gentleman so far.
Even so, you were already getting bored with him. dissatisfaction with sat in the back in the back of your mind as you and him talk. It was something that just wasn’t hitting off well.
“No no it does seem interesting. What type of wildlife do you encounter on the daily?” You asked trying to keep the conversation going so it didn’t get dry and awkward. The more you talked to him though the more you felt your enthusiasm and interest was forced. Luckily he didn’t notice it and kept talking happily about his job.
“Well I come across owls, fox’s, armadillos, and other things. You honestly never know what animal you’ll stumble upon” he said. You and him chatted while walking around a lake at a park, looking at all the nature surrounding you two. You got distracted when your phone started buzzing, your stomach fluttering.
It was Noel calling.
“Excuse me” you said to the man you were with, taking the phone call and turning away from him
“Yes?” You said
“Hey, I was thinking maybe we could watch movies together today” he said
“Well no actually. I’m on a date” you said
“Oh...well I’ll just call you tonight before bed” he said
“Okay cool-” you said before he hung up abruptly. You moved the phone from your ear and sighed a bit in disappointment. You knew Noel like the back of your hand and it didn’t take a rocket science to know he felt some type of way about you seeing another man at the moment. It wasn’t the first time he reacted in such a way anyways. Almost every time you talked to another guy he’d get an attitude with you about it although he’d claim nothing is wrong
“Anyways, what were we talking about?” You said with a smile.
Eventually the date ended just as the sun was setting, and you two parted ways. You were more than happy to just go home and rest in your bed. You enjoyed the nice outing but you weren’t feeling it today at all.
You checked your phone to see if maybe Noel texted you but there was no sign of him. Usually he would’ve texted you something by now seeing as though he texts you everyday multiple times, but there was nothing. Definitely another sign he was feeling salty.
The ride home was different.
No music played, it was just your thoughts and in conclusion: you were going to set the record straight with him tonight. He couldn’t keep playing tug of war with you like this.
You dialed his number before you could even get your shoes off when you stepped through the door of your apartment, the sound of him answering filling the quietness.
“Listen, whatever game you’ve been playing with me is over with. You love to reap the benefits of me being yours but won’t make me your girlfriend or tell me what’s up. Since we’re just friends, I’m going to treat you as such. You’ll never lay a finger on me again! I’m tired of you!” You yelled into the phone. It was silent before he spoke, his words catching you off guard
“Shouldn’t I be mad?” He said
“What?”
“You’re the one that cheated on me today” he responded
“You’re not my boyfriend, how did I cheat on you?!” You yelled
“I am your boyfriend” he replied.
“Noel stop playing-“
“Would a regular guy know your zodiac, favorite food, favorite color, the butterscotch scented perfume you wear, or notice how you twirl your fork or spoon when you eat something good?” He mentioned back
“Well...I-I guess not-“
“Exactly. You’re my girl from now on” he said cutting you off
“You can’t just up and claim me like that” you said starting to yell at him again
“Goodnight girlfriend” he said with a laugh before hanging up in your face.
