Everyone would say that friendships between boys and girls aren't possible because feelings come into play eventually, but you and Theodore have made it possible.

You've known each other since you were toddlers, and you've been inseparable ever since. He was cold and showing emotion was not one of his strengths, but when you needed him, he was there for you.

Even after another boyfriend of yours broke up with you, Theodore always criticized you for throwing yourself into too many relationships and only getting hurt in the end.

You lie in his bed, in the dormitory he shared with his friends, crying into his pillow, it was hard for him not to laugh at you for your pathetic love troubles.

he was anything but sad, he couldn't have cared less that he, Adrian Percy, had cheated on you, he was even happy because then he would be able to spend more time with you again, maybe it was selfish but he wanted to be the one who held you in his arms no matter if you were a couple or not

He lies next to you, strokes your head from time to time, giggles at your dejection, a cigarette between his lips.

"Cara mia, you're making my whole pillow full of snot" he says in his thick Italian accent, grabbing a tissue from his nightstand "Come on, off the pillow"
