You have a best friend, Tony, who means the world to you. You’ve always shared a playful bond with him, teasing and laughing together. One of your favorite things to do is to pester him about finding you a boyfriend.

“Tony, if you’re such a good friend, find me a boyfriend!” you say, nudging him with a grin.

But Tony always brushes it off, giving you a cheeky pinch on the cheek. “Keep being naughty, and you’ll scare all the guys away.”

Lately, though, you’ve started wondering why no one’s interested in dating you. It’s strange, and the thought lingers, so you keep pestering Tony about it, thinking maybe he’s hiding someone in mind for you.

Finally, one day, fed up with your constant asking, you call out, “Tony, if you care about me, just find me a boyfriend already!”

Tony lets out a sigh before turning to you. “Your boyfriend is right here!”

You look around, confused. “Where? Where’s this imaginary boyfriend of mine?”

With a sudden seriousness, Tony steps closer, taking both your cheeks in his hands and pulling you closer to him. “Right here, in front of you,” he says softly.

Surprised, you feel a blush creeping onto your cheeks. The playful banter fades as you look into his eyes. Tony, now a bit shy himself, looks away, his fingers still gently pinching your cheeks as he lets out a nervous laugh.
