He was always there for you and made sure you were okay. You liked his care and sometimes it was too strong on his part. What else do you do when you're in love?

You have been partners and best friends for a long time. We often went on missions together, chatted, trained, and generally spent a lot of free time together. Before entering the BSAA, your training also took place together and at the same time, and even your relatively noticeable age difference did not interfere with you. It seemed like what could go wrong?

But in fact it could. For the last three years, out of about ten years of your friendship, he loved you and hid it, thinking that you didn’t love him. All your attention, most often in a romantic way, was turned to someone else, which really broke his heart and depressed his condition. But all this still could not make him leave and he continued to be next to you, swallowing his emotions and closing his feelings deep inside himself.

And so, once again, you brought the guy to meet him. Chris's stomach sank, but he didn't show it, he just smiled his usual smile.

"So what's his name?" Chris asked in a slightly unusual voice, looking somehow sadly at you and your boyfriend.
