You sigh after reading the message, because there’s no escape from Charles if it’s just both of you together - and you’re pretty sure Charles didn’t invite the others to his house. After a week of flirting all the time and touching in inappropriate places, you don't feel as scared as you did the first time.
You feel freer to try things with Charles, but you’re still trying his best to hold it back a little. Your feelings are still in the game and you can’t let them control you, not right now, not after so many years hiding them deep inside your heart. After the event that led you to avoid Charles for some days, you’re trying really hard to hold everything in and keep things like they always were.
-
“Really?” Charles says looking up at you. Charles is studying for his tests and you are laying on the floor of his room playing games on your phone, looking through your social media feeds and doing whatever. You’re beyond bored, you had enough of watching Charles reading that book about engineering over, and over again. So you decide to try something new “Sitting on my lap? While I’m studying?”
Charles has a defeated look on his face, almost grinnin in your direction when you put your legs on each side of Charles’s waist. At first, Charles doesn’t know where to put his hands, he would normally put them on the thighs, maybe a little higher… But it’s you and he still doesn’t know how to act when things like this happen between you.
“You’ve been studying for several hours, you need to relax a little.” You smirk and grind with your hips, watching the normal face Charles does whenever you touch him in the right places. It’s something similar to a pleasure expression, but when the person tries to hold it back and fails “I know it’s a big test, but you could take a little break.”
And you grind again.
It’s not like you wanted to have sex with Charles. Actually, you wanted to, but not in this situation. You’ve been holding back all of the uncontrollable hormones inside of you for so long, you could wait a little longer. Also, you’re pretty sure nothing like that would actually ever happen between you, but if it did, you would want it to be special. Not you just messing around in Charles’s room before a big test.
You just want to tease Charles because it’s fun. Charles is desperate and gets turned on easily, so you only need to do the bare minimum and Charles is already crawling in your direction. It’s fun to see Charles like that, especially because it’s a part of Charles that you’ve never had the chance to see before.
“You’re right, a break should be fine.” Charles almost bites his lower lip, but decides to grin at your direction instead.
You can feel Charles spreading his legs under you, making your legs spread too, and grabs both of your butt cheeks with his strong hands. Charles tightens his grip and makes you grind again, this time slower and deeper
He continues to guide what your body should do, with his fingers tight around your ass “Are we dry humping?” You smile because you like it, especially because Charles is so down to it too.
“I don’t know, are we?”
“I think so.” You say in a soft whisper because you’re starting to feel things, and feeling whatever is happening with Charles’s down parts too.
It’s a new sensation, to be finally able to share a moment like this with Charles. It’s totally different from when you were fourteen and decided to share a first kiss, just to see how it was to kiss someone. It was just a peck on the lips, but it was the most intimate moment you shared in years.
It was different from your almost-sexting weeks ago, because now you are face-to-face. You can feel Charles under you. It’s physical, tangible and hot. You don't need to imagine anything, because you’re living it.
For a moment, you stop and think about this situation. Charles has no idea about your true intentions. Of course, Charles was the one to start the intense grinding, but he doesn’t know you are actually taking advantage of everything. And you feel awful thinking about it in this way.
You put your hands over Charles’s and the boy smiles, thinking you wanted to take control, but it’s the opposite, you wanted to end everything right there “I-I should probably go home… you have to study.”
Charles looks like a lost puppy, eyes begging for at least an explanation from his best friend “You… Did I do something wrong? I’m sorry if I did, you don’t have to leave, you can stay.”
“No, I really should go.” You brushed off any chance Charles could get off making you stay. You grab your jacket on the floor and leave the room before Charles could even get up from his chair.
While you’re walking home, you feel nauseous because you know you’re doing something wrong. It’s not fair with both of you, but you can’t think of a way out of this situation.
You decide to avoid Charles for a whole week, until Charles asks you to come over, so you do.
You still have to win the bet and being impersonal and avoiding Charles isn’t the way to win him over. Charles’s love language is physical and touches, so that’s your chance to make a move again.
Charles would never resist your cuddles, you’re sure of it.
When you arrive, Charles is watching something and eating snacks on his couch. It’s the perfect mood for a cuddling session and you are glad Charles’s brain always works in your favor.
You watch an episode of some series Charles has been binge watching since early that day and in the middle of the second episode, you’re already tangled together. It was easier than you imagined, because all you had to do was lean against Charles’s shoulder and Charles did the rest. You’ve already cuddled before, especially when Charles feels down and sad, he can be really clingy. But Charles is being more… loving? If that’s the right word to use in that situation.
You’re on the floor, you're sitting in the middle of Charles’s legs. You gave up on the sofa because it was too small for both of you and you honestly hated that sofa since day one, it was too uncomfortable.
You like this new cuddling more, because Charles keeps kissing his neck and caressing your arms. There’s not much difference from when you used to cuddle when Charles needed to, but you would normally just stay hug on the bed during the whole day. Now, Charles is really cuddling you, not just waiting for you to comfort him.
This time it looks like what Charles would do with his love interest. You saw him doing it to many of them, and deep inside envied all of them. Charles is romantic and his love can be really intense when he’s into someone. You've never thought you would experience this type of relationship with Charles after so many years of crushing him. It always felt too far away from your reality, but now that you’re in it, you enjoy it.
“I need to ask something.” Charles says, placing another round of kisses in your neck. And you don’t feel like punching him at all.
“What do you want to ask?” You are ticklish in your neck, but you don't mind if Charles continues to kiss it for the rest of the day “It isn’t related to the episode we just watched, right? You always get distracted when we watch something and I always have to explain everything that happened in it to you. But this time it’ll be a little difficult, I already forgot how many times he went back in time.”
Charles keeps quiet for a second and then says:
“No, it’s about us.” The way Charles says ‘us’ makes you turn around and face him. Nothing good comes from Charles using that type of tone and speaking about a relationship “It’s nothing serious, don’t worry.”
You gulp because maybe Charles noticed you have a crush on him, and now he wants to claim that he won the bet and kick you out of his life “Okay, so what about us?”
“I was just wondering, this is weird, right?” Charles scratches the back of his head, looking away from your eyes “We’re best friends and we never had something like this. I know all of this is because we made a bet and we’re trying to win this by seducing each other, but when this ends, what will happen? Are we friends with benefits now?”
“No, I think we’re still just friends.” You feel like throwing up, or maybe running away. You can still end the bet and things will go back to normal, but deep in your guts you want to continue this fantasy and have Charles treating you like you’re in a relationship for a little longer. You’re selfish after all.
“So what will happen? The bet will end at some point.” Charles sighs, a defeated sigh.
“In the end one of us will have fallen in love.” You shrug, trying to sound unbothered by the matter “And probably heartbroken too. It's a pity to fall in love with your best friend.”
Charles keeps silent for a moment, making you even more nervous “We should add more rules into this bet, it’s still too abstract in my opinion and I get confused.”
“Okay, let’s solve this then.” You cross your legs and start to point out everything you’ve discussed about the bet “I said I can make you fall in love with me and you said you can make me fall in love with you first, that’s how the bet started, right?” Charles nods “We can do everything to win this bet, BUT nothing during classes or when our friends are with us. And no kissing. This is a long-term bet, we have all the time we want and the winner can make the other do whatever they want as the prize. I don’t know what will happen next, Charles, because I don’t know how our reactions will be if the other wins the bet. It’s crazy to bet on something like this because it involves feelings and all, but that’s what we agreed to do.”
Charles thinks for a while and says “I want to add another rule.” You just nod at him “We need to know when and if the other falls in love, right? So the new rule is: confess your feelings the moment you realize you’re in love. No lying, just accept you lost the best.”
You freak out inside because you already know you’re in love with Charles, but you’re not ready to confess it right away. You can’t just say in Charles’s face that you’ve been in love with him for the past few years, even before the bet even started. You can’t say without it sounding bad; Charles will feel betrayed and he’ll assume you started all of this to take advantage of him.
No, you can’t confess.
“Deal.” You say with a straight voice. You need to get out of this situation so you continue “You know Charles, now that we figured everything out, I really want to know the end of this episode, so…” Charles rolls his eyes and nods.
You sit like before, in your spot in between Charles’s legs. Charles hugs you and hides his face in the curve of his neck, holding you tight.
You have made your mind – you need to forget about Charles, quickly. For your own good.
-
It’s 4 a.m when Charles’s phone starts ringing. He reaches for it on the bed table, and with his eyes almost shut he looks at the bright screen. ‘My buttercup’ is shining in it, so he picks it up right away.
“Cupcake?” He says with his husky voice, confused with the call.
“Charles, can you come pick me up, please?”
