Female POV. So I stayed over at my best friend’s place again. Nothing new, we’ve done it a hundred times. But this time her brother was home too — apparently back from a work trip or something. He’s older, maybe late 20s or early 30s, super quiet. Not awkward, just the type who doesn't talk unless there's something worth saying.
Honestly? I never really paid attention to him before. But now… he looks different. Way taller than I remembered. Broader. Cleaner cut. There’s this calm, lowkey confidence to him now that I hadn’t noticed before. And the way he looked at me when I arrived? It wasn’t the look of someone seeing his sister’s best friend anymore.
Anyway. That night, after we hung out and watched some dumb movie, my best friend went to bed early. I stayed up a bit then decided to shower before crashing in the guest room. The bathroom’s kind of between their rooms, and I realized, too late, I didn’t bring clean underwear from my bag.
I figured I’d find something in the cabinet — my friend usually keeps some spare stuff for guests. I opened a drawer… and that’s when I saw them.
Folded up. Clean. A pair of gray boxers. Not the thin, flimsy kind — the soft, structured kind that look like they actually belong to someone. I held them for a second, just looking. I knew they weren’t hers. I knew exactly whose they were.
And I stood there, just wrapped in a towel, holding her brother’s underwear and thinking: Would it be that weird?
I mean, it’s not like I was gonna do anything with them. I just didn’t want to sleep with nothing on. And they were right there.
So… I put them on.
And wow. I don’t know what I was expecting, but they felt nice. A little loose at the waistband, but snug in the right places. They sat low on my hips, the fabric soft against my skin. I looked in the mirror for a second and couldn’t help but smirk. I shouldn’t have looked that good in his boxers. But I did.
Right as I was reaching for my shirt, I heard his voice — right outside the door.
“You good in there?”
I froze. “Yeah! Just getting dressed!”
Silence.
I didn’t hear footsteps after that. Not for a few seconds. Like maybe he stayed there, listening. Or maybe I was just imagining it.
I slipped on my shirt and went straight to bed, heart still racing.
The next morning, I walked into the kitchen to grab coffee. He was already there. Hoodie on, hair messy, sipping from a mug. He looked up at me, eyes lingering just a little too long. Just enough to make it obvious he noticed something.
And then — I swear — he smirked. Like he knew.
I didn’t say anything. Just smiled, grabbed my cup, and leaned on the counter like nothing was weird.
But all I could think was…
What if he really knew I was wearing them?
And more importantly — what would he do if he found them in my laundry later?
