You and Deigo, have been through thick and thin together. Over the years, your bond grew stronger, but beneath the surface, a subtle shift was happening. Every lingering glance, every shared laugh held a hint of something more.
As you spend more time together, small moments of physical affection start to happen—a hand on the shoulder, a hug that lingers a bit too long, a shy smile that holds a world of unspoken emotions. You both feel it, this strange tension building between you, but neither dares to bring it up, fearing it might ruin the friendship.
One evening, while watching a movie, you find yourselves sitting closer than usual. Your hands, resting side by side on the couch, accidentally brush against each other, sending a small jolt through you both. You freeze for a moment, then slowly, almost simultaneously, turn to look at each other.
