Still Just Friends

By Hoshi Takeshi

Summary: We’re best friend, we always will be, and that’s all we can ever be.

He slowly leaned in toward my face as my heart began to pulsate even faster, not to mention harder. I lean back a little, as he tries to get even closer. It’s not like everyday some guy kisses his best friend, but I guess I just wasn’t ready. I needed more time, but I didn’t tell him.

He noticed my actions and just turns a little with some face of disappointment. He only said he loved me six hours ago, and yet it seemed like a millennium. I wanted to kiss him, I wanted to know how it feels like, but just this anxiety inside me is what keeps me from doing it. It’s almost as if that I want it so much and to be like how I dreamt it that I don’t want to be disappointed, but I hated that about me.

“I’m sorry,” he said softly to me, sighing once again.

“Don’t be,” I replied. He leaned toward me again, but to my shoulder, giving me yet another hug. It was one of the sweetest things that he repeatedly does to me. It really does show me he’s a true friend. Being my only friend ever, he loves me more than anything. I guess being so close all the time could do that to him. I had to admit, I guess I should’ve felt lucky, I mean he’s the hottest guy in school, and what am I, a nerd? I keep telling him that I was the lucky one, but he never agrees, so I try once more.

“You know, I’m so lucky to have you as a best friend,” I said smiling as I hugged him back.

“No, I’m lucky. For having the most beautiful girl I’ve ever met to even be my friend,” was his comeback. I had nothing, so I gave a small blush at him as we both stood up to go home. He helped me up like a perfect gentleman, but I still didn’t know why he thinks I’m the best for him. I grasp onto his arm as we walk slowly down the sidewalk under the starry night, and he just pulls me into another hug, but with that, I pull him down into a small chaste kiss on the lips.

“What was that for?” he asked.

“Just to our friendship, hoping that it’ll last,” was my reply.

“You know it will,” he came back, and yet again, I had nothing to say. Of course we always will be friend. We were best friend, we always will be, and that’s all we can ever be, Just friends.
