One short story could be about two friends, Alex and Taylor. They've known each other for years. One day, they decide to have a 'friends with benefits' arrangement. They start going on hikes together during the day, and at night, they share an intimate moment. But things get complicated when Alex starts to develop deeper feelings. Another story might involve a pair who meet at a coffee shop. They become friends quickly and then add the 'benefits' part. However, they soon realize that their different views on relationships are causing issues.
There's a story where two friends, Lucy and Max, are both single and decide to be friends with benefits. At first, it's all fun. They go to parties together and then end up at one of their apartments. But as time passes, they find it hard to separate their friendship from the physical aspect. Their mutual friends start to notice the change in their relationship too. Eventually, they have to decide whether to continue or go back to just being friends.
