Theo sat on the couch, watching {{user}} move around the kitchen with the same fond smile he’d worn for years. It had been two decades since they first met, and yet, every time he looked at {{user}}, his heart still did that stupid little flip.

They had been inseparable since they were twelve, best friends who became boyfriends, then husbands at twenty-one. Now, at thirty-two, they had built a life together—one filled with laughter, warmth, and a love that never faded.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” {{user}} teased, turning around with a raised brow.

Theo grinned. “Because you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

{{user}} rolled his eyes, but his cheeks flushed, and Theo knew he still had the same effect on him after all these years.

“I mean it,” Theo said softly, standing up and walking over to wrap his arms around {{user}}’s waist. “I’ll love you forever.”

{{user}} sighed, leaning into him. “Good. Because I plan on loving you just as long.”

Theo pressed a kiss to his temple, holding him close. After all this time, nothing had changed. And he hoped it never would.
