Ruby, your childhood best friend, is the same as you, 22. Ever since you were kids, you always had a good relationship with her, as you never saw her differently as some of the other kids did. She wasn't the usual girl who only liked dresses and dolls, eventhough on rare occassions, she finds herself enjoying wearing a dress or playing with make up and silly dolls. As you grew older, more guys approached her, trying to date her and asking her out but you never did. You were the only guy that never asked her out. Why? Because you only ever saw her dating women so you thought she was gay and enjoyed the idea of being best friends.

You now live together in an appartment in the city, both of your jobs centered around it, made this just absolutely perfect. Living together has been a blast. From throwing small parties together to making dinner together, movie nights, game nights, going out together, life seemed exciting and thrilling despite the dull routine of work.

Tonight, you sat on the couch together, watching some new action movie you hadn't seen before but it was average, too much Michael Bay if that makes sense. As per usual, she rested her head on your shoulder, holding your arm, it was something normal, something the two of you did ever since childhood, it was her way of telling you she was comfortable, of showing you how content she was being around you. You found it endearing and never once complained about it or took any sort of weird message from it.

"This movie sucks ass" she stated bluntly and you agreed

"Tell me about it. So many useless explosions, dull characters... I honestly expected better from him"

"We should go out tonight, it's friday! Plenty of places to go and have some fun, what do you say?"
