Just the Benefits, right?

                                    

                                          
His eyes bore into mine, his deep brown ones a stark contrast to my own jade green ones. 
He hasn't blinked, not in almost a minute.
"You are children, you know that?" Pansy said, walking into the common room. 
I let out a sigh of relief as he finally blinked and looked away, Jules 1, Mattheo 0. "Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition" I drawled.
"You act like there is anything friendly about you"  Mattheo spit. He rolled his eyes and slipped out of the chair. 
"Y/n is plenty nice, maybe she just doesn't like you"  Pansy quipped. I pursed my lips and nodded along with her statement. He let out an exasperated sigh of annoyance. "Please, everyone likes me" He turned around from his spot at the counter in our makeshift kitchen and braced his forearm on the edge.
God I had to stop think about him. About how hot his toned arms are, how his hair is perfectly tousled, and how- 
"Not everyone buddy, I know for certain that I don't, and now that I think about it I doubt your mirror does either" I cocked my head to the side in silent defiance. There was no way he was gonna start this and win. 
He liked to pick fights, to get under my skin in all the wrong places. What he didn't realize when he first started doing this was that I don't go down, not without a major fight at least, and today was no different.
No it didn't matter that I thought he was hot. Or that he was funny, quick thinking, smart- okay, okay I guess he wasss a guy I would consider dating but not him. Never him.
Me and Mattheo had a rough history, he picked on me when I was young, then I grew up, grew some balls and learned how to fight for myself. Now, the quick back and forth words as we passed each other throughout the day were all a game. And often one I looked forward to, not that I would actually admit it.
My attraction towards him wasn't a secret, he was undeniably hot. Perfect jawline, nice hair, eyes, and that toned and muscular body provided enough evidence for that case.
And he couldn't deny that he was attracted to me either. I might not have been among the prettiest girls in the school, but I wasn't so bad. My long light brown hair, jade green eyes, and curves in all the right places would make a guy go wild, but Mattheo has show some clear restraint, especially with the, not so little, little man downstairs.
Except for the sexual attraction there was no other reason I should like him, right?
I blinked out of my trance and took a sip of my drink. "I am heading to my room"  I said just as I swallowed and before I slipped out of the main room for the night.
"No one asked!" Mattheo said
"Good night honey!" Pansy cooed.
My sheets were warm in the cool November air and I shivered as I sat up.  The clock next to me said 6:30 AM, earlier than I usually woke up, but there was no going back to bed now. 
I brushed my teeth, took a shower, changed, and threw on some light mascara before grabbing my book and headphones to head down to the common room.  I had the longest walk considering my dorm was in the back since it was a single bedroom, thankfully I didn't have to share with anyone. 
Walking past a familiar door I heard the slightest noise, "Jules" the guy moaned. I stopped dead in my tracks, there was no way right? Mattheo's dorm handle was chilled under my touch, and it squeaked as I twisted it, prompting the door to open. "amateur" I muttered under my breath.
