They always knew it was there, the sexual tension they tried to ignore but fed all the same. Chris always assumed he was worse about hiding it than Zach, but you couldn’t exactly say Zach never held on a little too tight. No, they both did it and pretended it was nothing. They were friends, co-stars and ruining that with some torrid affair was out of the question. So they played like they were friends and it always found them in the same place, scenarios mirroring this one.
Eventually, they always curled up on someone’s sofa and pretended they weren’t cuddling like a real couple. But they always were, always needed each other a little more than they would consciously, comfortably admit.
*wibble* I love this so much.
“Tell me you don’t ever think about the random hookups.”
“That’s all they were. Before we knew each other.”
“I call.”
“You can’t call bullshit on this,” Chris grumbled but Zach just leaned closer until their noses were touching.
“Don’t expect me to believe that. We’re probably the only fuck buddies in history who used to debate Tennyson, Keats, and Byron in cabs and then do crosswords over the phone even when we’d avoided the awkward morning after.”
This whole thing is wonderful. Seriously wonderful. I memmed it.
Zach calling bullshit. Fuck buddies trying and failing to stay casual. And then JJA gave them the opportunity of a lifetime so they went from there, to best friends and co-stars avoiding sex and trying really hard not to fall in love. Trust them to try to make it more complicated than it had to be.
