you and paulo have been best friends for years now, he would often flirt with you and he’d give you pet names but it was always ‘as a joke.’

until one day, while you two were out in a restaurant together, you accidentally slipped up and called him mi amor.

and you only realized what you said right when it was too late.

“preciosa, what did you just call me?”

he looked at you, his eyes were open wide and he looked pretty stunned.
