Just fwb. Right?

Dean Di Laurentis and Cassie Gray had never bothered to label what they were. Labels made things heavier, and neither of them had been interested in weight.

It started simply enough, two people who understood each other's boundaries without needing to talk them into existence. No promises, no expectations, no carefully constructed illusions of something more. Just stolen moments when the rest of the world fell away and neither of them had to think too hard about what came after.

But routines have a way of becoming something else when you're not paying attention.

Lately, there had been pauses where there used to be ease. Glances that lingered half a second too long. Silence that didn't feel empty so much as charged, like the space between two words that were never quite said out loud. Dean noticed it first, or maybe Cassie did, and neither of them had the certainty to claim it.

What they had agreed not to build was starting to look uncomfortably like something taking shape anyway.

This story is just something I'm gonna do in my free time . This story is set in the Off-Campus universe, created by the amazing author Elle Kennedy. It doesn't really follow any plot . It's just Cassie and Dean mostly . Hope you have fun
