About Friends with Benefits
Two friends agree to a no-strings physical arrangement and draw up rules to keep feelings out of it — rules that begin failing almost immediately. The genre convention is ironclad: someone always catches feelings, and usually both already had them.
The trope runs on dramatic irony and denial; readers watch two people perform casualness while every gesture betrays them, waiting for the arrangement to collapse into the relationship it always was.
Common scenarios: Rule three is no sleepovers, broken by week two, or the moment one of them gets asked out by someone else and the arrangement abruptly stops feeling casual.
