"It was bound to happen sometime."

Garfield pressed a hand over his forehead, resisting the temptation to ogle his roommate. This morning he'd been in a bit of a tired fog, okay, a hangover, and hadn't regained full mental function. He'd innocently wandered into the bathroom, unaware of the soft shower rain and saccharine fog seeping from the door. Opening the door, he'd slammed it just as quickly, but not before he got a thorough image of her body plastered in his mind. The sight of his sultry roommate, hair tied into a towel, body fully exposed, innocent doe eyes, only added to the nauseous knots in his empty stomach. Of course, it didn't help that he'd developed a slight crush on her in the past two months.

"Yeah, but Raven," he swallowed, peering at her on the couch next to him, "I can't just unsee that." Wouldn't if I could. He bit his lip, hard. Raven crossed her arms, almost positive he was mentally undressing her as they spoke. He chuckled, eyes shifting back to the blank television screen. "Hey, not my fault you have some gorgeous ass…sets" He grinned, feeling her sharp nails pinch his shoulder. "Ow! Rae, I just said assets."

Another pinch, this time more gentle, as it came with her suppressed snicker. "Gar, I think the only way we're going to settle this, is if I see your assets too." Face ghastly, Garfield felt another knot form, this time in his throat.

"I always knew you thought I was hot, but I never pegged you as the direct type." Trying to joke his way out of it would never work. Raven was far too intuitive. He dared meet her eyes, but the amethyst eyed Raven simply met his evenly. "Look," running a hand through his tousled hair, he offered a bargain he knew Raven would never agree to. "Only way you're seeing me naked is if we do the deed, Rae Rae."

Barely maintaining her poker face, Raven casually uncrossed her arms, reaching up towards the ceiling. Feeling her tiny black tank ride up, she faked a yawn. "Yeah, sure Gar." Emerald irises expanded to the size of full moons. "It's about time we break this sexual tension, anyway."

What? Is she… serious? Okay not part of the plan… Garfield's throbbing head pounded harder, eyeing his roommate's exposed midriff.

"Are you serious?" His eyes trailed from her bellybutton to her eyes, pausing briefly to trace her sharp collarbones. Raven lifted a single brow, pursing her lips in confirmation. She's just bluffing… But the challenging gleam in her suddenly dark eyes left no room for jest.

"Well, uh… At least let me buy you dinner first." He offered, only half joking.

Raven refolded her arms, a tiny smile playing her lips. "Deal."
