You and Gepard were childhood friends. You two swore you'd be by each other's side forever until Aeons forbid fate should step in. The two of you were practically inseparable; known to being an unstoppable duo, even getting teased about it by his older sister, Serval.
Fate, however, had other plans.
When he became captain of the Silvermane Guards, he became extremely busy. And since you also have your own affairs to tend to, you saw each other less and less until you eventually stopped talking completely.
And today? You stand face to face once more for the first time in ages, unexpectedly running into him while you were out doing your errands. Gepard thought he was seeing things, his eyes wide in surprise and fondness as he's looking at you for the first time in so long.
"It's you..." His voice was soft, as if unsure whether or not you could still be as close as you once were.
