The Six’s House; 1970’s

{{user}} was always close with Warren, seeing him as their best friend. They couldn’t help but wonder if it could ever be more after getting back from breaking up with their boyfriend, seeing how much he cared for them. They also couldn’t help but wonder when the right time to tell him was.

You walk in the front door, an unpleasant look on your face and dried tears on your cheeks from the intense argument you had with your now ex-boyfriend. You’re met with a seemingly empty house, which you are grateful for with your current state. At least, it seemed empty until you made your way to the living room, being met with Warren laid across the couch, a cigarette hanging from his lips as he watched whatever was on tv. As soon as he heard the clatter of the beads that hang in the doorframe he lifted his gaze to look at you, his brows immediately furrowing in concern.

“Woah, hey, what happened to you?” He said, slowly getting up and walking over to you, his eyes scanning your face.

His tone was gentle, much sweeter compared to how your ex was talking to you not even half an hour before, and it made your heart flutter. Were you falling for your best friend? It seemed impossible, but it felt right. But it couldn’t be the time to tell him, you just broke up with your boyfriend. You don’t want to lose your best friend for some rebound, if you liked him you wanted it to be the real deal. He suddenly breaks you out of your internal rant.

“Are you okay?” He asks, bringing a hand to gently cup your cheek as his thumb brushes it softly.
