Smut & Fluff

Saw You

Cody's POV:
"I'm your boyfriend not your slave!" Someone shouted and I rolled my eyes

"Straight people" I muttered and threw the garbage in the bin

"Hey Cody!" Someone called and I turned around. "Hey" Vince greeted me when he stopped right in front of me. Vincent 'Vince' Peterson is my neighbor and my childhood best friend but when he became famous for being the cliché football star with the cheerleader girlfriend, I distanced myself from him to prevent rumors that I'm clinging onto him for clout.

"Hey. Girlfriend problems?" I asked and he scratched his nape

"Yeah. Audrey wants me to go to the mall so I can carry her shopping bags" he said and I nodded. "What about you? Do you have a girlfriend?" He asked

"What? No I don't have one and never will have one" I said and fake barfed and he laughed

"Aww come on. I know they can be pretty demanding and I don't know... too bitchy but nothing beats the feeling of being in love" he said

"I'm gonna work on loving myself first" I chuckled

"You're literally perfect so loving yourself will be easy. You're smart, you're caring, you're good-looking. I'm sure a lot of girls are trailing behind you at school" he said

"Even though I might look 'perfect', I still have flaws inside that I don't want to show people" I said and he nodded. "Your girlfriend might be waiting for you right now so I'll get going. Nice talking to you" I said and he sighed and nodded. "Oh by the way, even though I haven't been in a relationship, I can say that you can't please your partner all the time. Always prioritize yourself before others" I said before entering the house leaving him outside

"What took you so long? Did you secretly meet your girlfriend?" Mom asked and I groaned

"Mom! For the one millionth time, I don't have a girlfriend. I don't want a girlfriend. I want to focus on my studies and on my well-being" I said

"Having a girlfriend in high school will make you famous, son. People without a girlfriend in high school are considered outcasts or weirdos" dad said

"Well then I'm a weirdo but at least I'm a smart weirdo and not a dumb himbo" I said and went to my room. I sat on my bed and I saw Vince in his room. My bedroom window and his window are directly across each other. He glanced at me and I waved. He smiled and waved back. I grabbed the small whiteboard and the marker and wrote something.

You're not going?

I wrote on the whiteboard and faced it to him. He squinted his eyes before grabbing his own whiteboard and marker. When we were young, we asked our parents to buy us whiteboards so we can still talk to each other. I don't have his number and neither does he have mine so this is the most convenient way to talk.

You're right. I have to prioritize myself first :)

I chuckled at the smiley face and wrote something down.

Very good! P.S. Remember to drink water :)

He wrote something down and I waited

Yes, I will drink water. I'll drink it for you ;)

He said or wrote and I shook my head and wrote something

Drink it for yourself. Always be hydrated or else you wouldn't be able to stand the castigation of your girlfriend tomorrow for not going to the mall

I said and he laughed and shook his head

I can ignore her. She always ignores me anyway :(
