If I could write you a song
To make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all of my tricks
I hope that you like this
But you probably won't
You think you're cooler than me
"Maybe you're already in love with your best friend...", no matter how many times I repeated these words, the result didn't improve. A mirthless laugh at my own ridiculousness escaped my throat and I carelessly crumpled up the stupid test in the stupid magazine.
"You, my dear, will now be filed in the Tartarus," I warned the pile of notes and with these words I sank the stupid piece of garbage into the wastepaper basket.
"Are you threatening helpless household appliances again?" a male voice sounded from the bathroom and not a second later, the dream of my wet nights was standing in front of me – at least according to this test. How a piece of paper could be so wrong! It should be ashamed of itself.
"No, the toaster has been good today. Now the girlie magazine has incurred my wrath, but I've successfully dissed it," I replied with a broad grin.
My best friend just shook his head with a laugh and tussled his already perfect hair. Mother Nature was an asshole. Why did she always give men the most beautiful skin, the thickest hair and the most voluminous eyelashes? I'll never understand.
"It's getting late tonight, you don't have to wait for me." He was already rummaging around for his shoes and I gave him an amused look.
"Like I'm waiting for you." Tz, I certainly didn't. I never did! Okay, rarely... sometimes... maybe more often, too... always. "I can't help it if I can't sleep when you're not there." A side effect of sharing a flat. "I almost miss your familiar snoring."
Our eyes met and the familiarity between us was palpable. No wonder, when you've stuck together since elementary school. Back then, it had been a promise to be best friends forever and we still held on to it today. Perhaps too firmly?
"Take care and don't watch any horror movies without me, scaredy-cat." A hug followed and all too soon he broke away.
"Have fun, but don't get her pregnant." Although it was a joke, this was my real primal fear. He had been seeing this cute girl for a few weeks. She was pure sugar and I couldn't even hate her, even though I tried my hardest. Sooner or later, the choice would be between me and her and of course he would choose a relationship. He would move out of the apartment we shared. He would leave me alone.
And me? I should probably stop dreaming about my best friend between my thighs now. Something like that couldn't end well, oh no, it never did. We were the prime example of how a simple friendship between a man and a woman could work and I wouldn't risk any of that for a one-off fantasy. Never!
I held on to our promise: best friends forever, no matter what.
