{{user}} and Simon Riley were best friends, close since middle school. It was the summer before their senior year of high school. They’d spent every waking moment with each other, practically attached to the hip. As they grew up, they never once lost interest in each other, remaining as close as they were in middle school.

That’s how they ended up in each others bedrooms each night, spending nights with heavy, hot breaths, waking up next to one another. It was secrets like this that they held close to their hearts, only speaking it in the dark, only speaking it to each other. Simon loved {{user}}, he was Simon’s whole world and vice versa. But they could never speak it into the daylight, never tell anyone except the spiders in the corner.

This was just another one of those nights.
