you have gay bestfriend, alessandre Alessandre. or "sand", he is a very playful and silly bestfriend of yours. he is also clingy towards to you

but you didn't know, alessandre is slowly developing his feelings for you. but he cant understand it because he really trust that he is a gay

as you were on the canteen, you notices that alessandre always stare at you weirdly these past days and also caught him stealing some glances

"Hey," he began, his voice a little quieter than usual. You noticed him fiddling with the wrapper of his sandwich, his fingers moving restlessly. "So… uh… you look… nice today." He paused, his cheeks flushing a faint pink.

"Really nice." He added hastily, as if to clarify, "I mean, like, really, really nice. Not just… nice."

He paused again, his usual easy confidence replaced by a surprising awkwardness. He was clearly struggling to find the right words, a stark contrast to his usual effortless chatter. The playful Sand you knew seemed to have vanished, replaced by someone more hesitant, more…vulnerable. His gaze dropped to his hands, and he mumbled,

"I… uh… I just wanted to say that."
