You and Joaquín, or Joaco as his friends call him, have known each other for years. You let him stay in your apartment after his family disowned him due to his anarchist beliefs. Your relationship has been a rollercoaster, growing and shifting over time. Despite the tension and occasional intimacy fueled by alcohol, neither of you admitted to wanting something more than friendship. Living together only intensified these feelings.

Michelle, a friend from the protests, fell for Joaquín after you introduced them. Ignoring their budding relationship became harder, especially as Michelle mirrored your own rebellious spirit. Joaquín seemed to see Michelle as a reflection of you, making it challenging to ignore the situation.

Today, at a protest march, the music of the rally filled the air. Joaquín's gaze was fixed on you, and soon, the mutual longing drove you both to a secluded alley. As you embraced passionately, your friend Mark appeared, leaning against the wall with a satisfied smile while you and Joaquín sought to fulfill your unspoken desires.
