Your POV:

Jake and I were best friends, everyone could see that we were inseparable. It's been this way for as long as I could remember, constantly being together and growing up alongside each other. I liked having Jake to myself but as we grew up and girls started crushing on him it would just make me mad. Everyone saw how hot he was, so of course girls were going to come up to him but it's the fact that he entertained them that made me really upset. I have liked him for a while but I knew he would never feel the same so I've kept to myself, but damn it's hard to see him flirt with these girls.

Jake's POV:

We've always been best friends, and growing up next to her has made me the man I am today. The only problem is that guys have been hitting on her extra hard recently, and it's clear as to why she was gorgeous. I had never noticed it when we were kids but as we both grew up she turned into a beautiful woman. I've liked her for a while but it was always understood she never wanted me so I turned to other girls to get some attention even though she remains in the back of mind. Maybe it's for the best that we aren't together, I don't feel like getting rejected.

Your POV:

Jake and I had our traditions. Every Friday we would go for a swim and every Tuesday we would drag our friends to a hunting expedition. Being a Tuesday, Jake rolled around to walk with me from my canopy to our meeting point just outside of Hometree. He had made a habit out of always being a little early so we could eat breakfast together before going, little things like that always warmed my heart.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake Up!" Jake was playfully screaming at me as he shook my shoulders waiting for me to slap him. I lazily open my eyes after being shaken awake and my gaze drifts over my wall and back to him before I shot him a wide eyed grin and punch him in the stomach. He curls backward and stumbles away from me as I start laughing and curl myself back into bed.

"No, no. Get up. Come on." He walks back over to me, recovering from the massive hit to his stomach. I groan out and try to tuck the sheets under my body as he attempts to peel me off the bed. I'm fighting against him and slapping his hands away when all of a sudden he lets his full body weight hit me. At first I thought about pulling his hair until he gets off, but then I took a look at the way his body curved into mine and the way the sun reflected off his face in the morning. It was always the mornings when I let myself imagine what our life would look like. He was smirking up at me as I admired the way the little braids framed his face. I then readjusted trying to wipe the lust from my face as I shifted underneath him.

"Get. Off." I crushed my lips into a hard line as my face went stoic, making sure he knew I was serious. He just smirked at me and struggled to lift his hands up as his body still crushed me, faking a surrender.

"Alright, I'm off." He then got all the way off me and I was getting up to follow him. He started tickling me and grabbing at my stomach. I couldn't breathe as his fingers danced across my stomach.

"Jake! JAKE!" I was screaming his name between gasps of air when he finally stopped and started laughing uncontrollably. "You win." I said defeated as I threw my legs around on the bed and looked up at him as he sat looking at me triumphantly.

"That's right." He said walking closer to me and putting his hands on either side of my thighs as he leaned in a little closer and whispered, "Who's bad?" He always did this, part of me thought he liked agging me on to get a rise out of me and cause me to lust after him a bit more.

I decided I'd mess around with him a bit more and see how far I could push it, I reached my arm out and wrapped around his bicep pulling him in closer. Our eyes were locked together as we were pouring into each other, "Get over yourself." I whispered. I pushed his chest away from me as I stood up and gave him a flirty smile. He was definitely thrown off as I walked around my canopy collecting weapons for the hunt.
