Everest
It has absolutely never crossed Ever’s mind until precisely this moment, and the only reason that it is crossing his mind is because of the romcoms and various TV shows the pair have watched over the years. This is the moment where trauma and circumstance make a couple out of two unlikely friends, right? The thump of Mateo’s weighted blanket saves Ever from the worst of what his mind might conjure up, at least until Mateo reminds him that he’s a sprawled and a snuggler.
”Oh.” Ever mumbles. “Okay.”
Not entirely regretting his decision—already Ever feels better for not being alone, and the heat from his roommate certainly helps—he can’t help but lay quite stiff as he regards the doorknob of his closet where a sliver of moonlight is illuminating it. If Ever were to move, he’d be faced with the following dilemma: moving closer to Mateo might be interpreted, as...well, moving closer. But moving farther away might make his friend think that Ever was regretting his decision, which he absolutely wasn’t.
That only left remaining precisely where he was, however uncomfortable. For the remainder of the night.

even if i had to lose you to know you,
i'd still be that temporary phase that you grow through
