When you wake up the following morning, Ashley has left and the apartment is silent. With a yawn, you groggily wake up, slipping on your slippers as you tiptoe to the bathroom. After you're clean, you knock on Conan's door.
"Come in." He says grinning up at you from his bed as you open the door.
He's still nestled in sheets when he yawns and sits up, exposing his bare torso and his flannel pants. You blush slightly looking down, trying to remember why you where here.
"Conan, you would like a coffee? I was making one anyways, so it's no faff to me."
He smiles. "Yes please. I'm getting up now anyways."
Conan shifts under the bedding, stretches and pulls the covers off of him as he walks towards you. You smile up at him as you stand by the doorway, trying very hard not to look and his bare chest and abs. Forgetting to look at the floor, you plummet face first into it as your feet slip from under you. Bracing for the landing, you squeeze your eyes shut, only to be met by a pair of strong arms wrapping around your waist. You slowly open your eyes, looking up at Conan who chuckles slightly.
"You should be more careful, Y/n."
"I'll try." You laugh, relieved that you didn't plunder into the hard ground after all. But also flustered at the amount of space between you and Conan.
You take a while to get your breath and balance back, while Conan still holds his arm sound your waist tightly. You shift awkwardly in his firm grasp.
"Umm, Conan?" You say looking at his arms.
It takes him a minute to realise before he drops his arms quickly, turning away from you as he rubs his neck.
"Yeah, uh, sorry." He says, following you out as you leave his bedroom.

After making yours and Conan's coffees. You hand it to him, making yourself comfortable on the sofa next to him.
"Conan?" You ask.
He turns to you, smiling, "Yeah?"
"We're gonna watch a movie." You say, reaching for the remote to turn on the TV in one swift movement.

After what seemed like hours scrolling through the countless films and shows, one was finally decided. The Proposal. Which to be honest, was a non-brainer, as you and Conan both loved that movie anyway- having seen it countless times.
The movie was good, with the same, predictable-but comforting ending that most movies have. Well, rom-coms anyway.
After the film finished, you sat up slightly- not aware of how close you and Conan had become over the course of an hour and forty-eight minutes. Blushing, you shift slightly on the large sofa, which must have caught Conan's attention.
"Are you okay Y/n?" He asks.
You try to give him a reassuring smile. "I'm fine. Really."
"You look quite flushed actually- you might have a fever." He says pointedly, pausing before the back of his hand travels to your cheek, sending sparks through your body at the contact.
"You definitely have a temperature. You're burning up!"
"Oh. Thanks. " You say, mentally kicking yourself for thinking he was... it doesn't matter, you think, he was just checking my temperature.
Conan sighs "I'm gonna get you cold drink," then his expression softens, "and Y/n? Don't worry about it okay? That's what friends do." He smiles, leaving the room.
Friends, you think, that's right - just friends. Nothing more, nothing less.

The next few days went past in a blur- Conan was busy with his work, and you had had to help one of your friends with moving house. Over the few days you listened to Conan's music frequently- probably too much (If that's even possible) and it amazed you, at what he had created.
And then the realisation hit.
You loved Conan. The way he raked his hand through his hair when he was nervous. The way he laughed. The way he always had something funny to say. The way he was easy and fun. You loved all of it, every single bit of him.
But he didn't love you, you thought, not in that way, anyway. It was purely platonic. It was always platonic, which left you feeling down low, because you and Conan were friends. Just friends. But you knew you wanted to be more.
But he didn't.
