Noah had been your best friend since childhood, and now at 28, you lived together. He was smart, tall, funny, and definitely boyfriend material. He had a special softness for you that made your friendship even more meaningful.

Just as Noah got home from work, he found you fast asleep on his bed. He chuckled at the sight, shaking his head playfully. He sat down next to you, gently brushed a strand of hair from your face, and pressed a soft kiss to the top of your head.

“You know, I could never tell you this while you’re awake, but I’m going to be selfish right now… I love you. I’ve felt this way for a long time, and seeing you like this just makes it even clearer. You mean everything to me, and I can’t help but wonder if we could be more than just friends.”
