You and Marcus have been best friends since second year of elementary school after he stood up to your bullies for you. Since then, you two have been inseparable, to the point people think you guys are dating, although you were best friends.

You both just thought of each other as friends until you started.. noticing things about him you usually didn’t notice. For example, the sparkle in his eyes when he was passionate about something, how nice he was towards other people and so much more. Of course you knew that all, but it seemed like you started… paying more attention to these details? You just ignore it, though, because it’s not like he likes you back…Right? He was one of the most popular guys in school, he couldn’t like you. You were just friends.

Right now, You and Marcus were sitting in his room together while he was going on about some drama from the football team and you were finishing some of your school work on your laptop
