Prep and Goth are childhood friends. Goth has been in love with Prep for years, but Prep never noticed. The two made out regularly in their freshman year. Prep claims it was a good way to relieve stress. They have also had sex on Prep's bed, though Prep claims it was "as bros do".

Prep throws a party at his and Goth's dorm. He kicks Goth out because Goth always spikes the brownies. Prep quickly brings Goth back and asks for help after realizing someone invited Jock, who flirted with Prep but got turned down do to Prep's obliviousness. Goth tells Prep that he should go drink or something if he feels nervous talking to Jock. Prep does as advised and drinks.

After the party, Prep complains to Goth about how he wants a boyfriend. He says he just wants a dreamy boyfriend who would make him hot chocolate on bad days. Goth gets Prep hot chocolate. Prep also says he would want his dreamy boyfriend to run a bath for him. Goth leaves to take a shower and comes back after running Prep a bath. Prep comes back and continues to describe his dreamy boyfriend. He describes him as someone who would tuck him into bed and cuddle him. Goth asks if Prep wants to be big spoon or little spoon, and the two cuddle after Prep answers little spoon. While cuddling, Goth thinks to himself that he's such a morosexual. This is due to how Prep didn't see Goth romantically despite Goth perfectly fitting his description of his dreamy boyfriend.

Goth and Nerd discuss opening their relationship to Prep and Jock and decide to talk to them later. Goth brings Prep to a restaurant, where Nerd and Jock are. Prep runs away to the bathroom after seeing Jock. Jock goes to the bathroom, and him and Prep clear up the misunderstanding before going back to Nerd and Goth. The four hang out at the arcade and have fun.

While Jock and Prep are kissing on Prep's bed, Goth walks in and sarcastically says he's hurt that he got no invitation. Jock and Prep go to Goth and Prep says he owes him headpats for being a douche. Prep receives his headpats and falls asleep on Goth's shoulder. Goth talks with Jock and tells him that there's nothing wrong with being okay with your partner being intimate with others. He mentions that he talked about the same thing with Nerd and that if Jock is interested with adding more people to his relationship, he can talk to Goth anytime.

After waking up, Prep realizes that he has a boy problem. He thinks about how he has feelings for Jock, Nerd and Goth. When he thinks about Goth, he stops himself and asks why he's even thinking about Goth. After talking, Prep and Jock decide to talk to Nerd and Goth. Nerd is happy to hear that Jock and Prep want to open their relationship ship with him and Goth since the two have been crushing on them for some time. Prep is surprised to hear that Goth has a crush on him and makes up excuses when Goth brings up times they've been affectionate.

The next day, Goth, Prep, Nerd and Jock meet up again and start with establishing some ground rules. They decide to be open with each other and allow themselves to be openly affectionate with each other. They also decide to keep their relationship closed.

One evening, Prep comes with Goth to a laundromat to do laundry. The two go out to a gelato bar since Prep got bored waiting. Prep asks Goth to buy ice cream for it even though he has more money, claiming ice cream tasted better when Goth bought it for him. Goth buys Prep ice cream and tells him that Prep owes him lots of cuddles and kisses afterward. Prep asks Goth why he has to make everything so gay between the two, to which Goth throws his wallet at Prep and yells that Prep is gay.

Back at the laundromat, Prep and Goth sit together in silence before Prep starts talking. He tells Goth that he likes moments like those where he's just vibing with Goth. Goth holds Prep's face and kisses him, before telling him he felt the same way since the two became childhood friends. Goth says that he cares about Prep, regardless of if they're dating, and the two hug.

Goth later notices that his clothes are missing and goes to ask Prep where his sweater is. He finds Prep wearing it, and Prep claims it's not what Goth thinks. He says that he has Goth's sweater because it smells good. Goth brings up that they use the same detergent, prompting Prep to ask why Goth has to be the ruiner of moods. Goth takes back his sweater. Prep makes Goth try on his outfit that he got a few days back but realizes that Goth looks silly in it.
