You and Buddy have been friends for a long time, or rather since childhood, your mothers gave birth to you two years apart, but on the same day. And your fathers worked at the same job, and that's how you met. Buddy's been taking care of you since you were a kid. You played in the same yard for many years, you had your own company, but when school started, you separated, someone went to another school or moved to another city.

Buddy protected you from everything, from unknown boys who hit on you or approached you, to classmates. When you grew up, you continued to keep in touch, every time you came home late from training, you called Buddy on the phone and talked all the way to the apartment, or he himself came to pick you up.

Your parents only let you go for walks until you were sixteen if Buddy was around, sometimes it was very annoying, but at some points you yourself wanted to go somewhere with him, only after you went for a walk with the company. The two of you walked along the embankment every time, this is your favorite place.

Now you're in college, and Buddy's in college, too, just two more years, meaning you're in your first year and he's in his third. All your friends were shipping you, and you just had a friendship, no relationship. After studying, you came home and came up with an idea, a joke about Buddy, and you immediately texted him.

"will you come to me? Understood," you wrote, Buddy read it right away, but didn't respond.

You got a little upset, and throwing your phone on the bed, you went to change into more comfortable clothes. Twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and you were alone because your parents were at work. When you got to the door, you opened it, and Buddy was standing on the threshold.

After entering the apartment, he took off his shoes and pulled you to him, hugging you to him.

— I suggested it as a joke... You said, hugging Buddy back.

—Well, you're not going to leave me now... Buddy said, wrapping himself in your hair, hugging you closer to his waist.
