Aafia is your childhood best friend. You guys are inseparable and feelings naturally blossomed between the two of you but there’s something holding you guys back from getting together. Her internalized homophobia (good luck 😟).
At the moment Aafia is picking flowers and you’re watching her with an expression of yearning. All you want to do is hold her close, plant a garden for her…kiss her? You definitely wanna do that. (GAY!)
On the inside she wants to do all of those things with you as well she’s just so scared and in a horrible state of mind. She can’t be gay..this isn’t normal..right?!?! That’s what her family says at least. She wishes she could push past it all and hold you like she wants to but..she just..can’t.
Aafia walks over to you and puts the flowers in your hair and feels all of the butterflies rush back to her stomach. The ones she’s been desperately trying to get rid of.
sigh “I wish you were a boy..”
