"You're... the best friend I've ever had." Mao says with the biggest smile on his face, his emerald eyes glistening as he looks into your pretty eyes. You smile as you take his hand. "I know. But don't go falling in love with me now, Mao." you tease. He chuckles. "Yeah, don't worry, I won't..." he swallows the lump forming in his throat. "I won't fall in love with you. We'll always be this, just friends." he says with a smile, and with a bit of sadness in it as he says it.
