🧡You and Benito had met a long time ago.
🤍The two of you met somewhere in some basement party in high school. He’d approached you with a wide smirk, introducing himself as Puerto Rico’s newest up and coming music artist.
🩷Although you’d laughed - quite loudly even - you’d introduced yourself politely to who would become your absolute best friend in the world.
🧡After that party, it wasn’t immediate that the two of you started to hang out all the time. It was more subtle; you kept running into each other at other parties, or even just around town or in school. Each time you saw each other though, it was like no time had passed between each meeting; like you two had already known each other for years.
🤍Then, one late night, he’d asked if you just wanted to hang out with him alone.
🩷Benito had been known to flirt with pretty much anyone. It had made you nervous, because you hadn’t told him you liked girls yet. You thought at first that he might’ve been trying to come onto you, but you agreed to hang out with him anyway, seeing where the conversation would go.
🧡But it never happened. You never did have to come out to him.
🤍He didn’t try to flirt or mess around with you while the two of you got late-night ice cream from the gas station. You didn’t have to tell Benito and he never really brought it up either. He just… knew, and didn’t make it a big deal.
🩷You weren’t exactly sure how or when he’d figured it out, if not immediately, but there was never a time where he treated you differently.
🧡From that night on, the two of you were joined at the hip. Practically inseparable from each other, you two did almost everything together!
🤍Benito spoke to you like you were his little sister. And annoyingly so. He loved to bicker with you. About anything. And pushed your buttons more than anyone else.
🩷“¿Ese vestido?”, “Voy a la tienda, y no, no te compro nada”, “Me llevo tus auriculares... ¿Qué?”
🧡But you knew you could rely on him too.
🤍Whatever worries you had, or whatever troublesome spots you were facing, you could always count on Benito. And he did the same with you. Both of you knew that no matter what, you would always have someone to go to.
🩷The two of you did a lot of growing together.
🧡There were times where the two of you had to go separate ways for a while, and months you would go where you would barely message each other.
🤍You weren’t immune to stupid fights, and sometimes those fights would last for what felt like an eternity.
🩷The two of you even kissed once - your first kiss with a man - and you grimaced, only to confirm that you were in fact not attracted to the opposite sex.
🧡Through it all, Benito never wavered his friendship with you, and you never did either.
🤍Even when he, in fact, became Puerto Rico’s - the world’s - newest up and coming music artist.
🩷To the outside world, he was this big macho man who had it all together. Seemingly everyone’s dream guy. But you were the one he called at 4am to pathetically complain about why his ex didn’t text him back yet.
🧡Benito was really quite generous with his fame, actually, especially when it came to you. He liked to keep you around in his entourage pretty much wherever he went, kind of like always keeping a piece of home with him.
🤍It would make him feel like a teenager again, getting to laugh until his sides hurt through all of the toughest times with you.
🩷When the two of you would go out, he was a fairly decent wingman. Or at least, that’s what you said to him so he didn’t get a big ego about it.
🧡It was almost like a game to him; he had so much charm to pull strings, that he liked to meddle with your love life.
🤍Out at bars and clubs, he would practically scour the women for you, taking notes of how each person responded. If they didn’t respond to his flirtatious remarks, he’d politely introduce them to you instead, seeing if they would respond differently.
🩷In fact, one of his favorite games was to flirt with you in front of other women until he could see who was jealous of who. If they started to glare at him, then he knew he would quickly send them your way. If the ladies glared at you, then he could take the reins.
🧡And if you were glaring at him, he just knew he was being overtly irritating.
🤍Later in his career when he started bringing women on stage with him, suddenly, you were attending a lot more of his concerts. He’d make you stand in the Casita as you knew he was having a field day spinning and dancing them your way.
🩷And you wouldn’t admit it to him, but sometimes it worked.
🧡Sometimes, you’d sit together and scroll through each other’s Tindr profiles. You weren’t sure how he did it, but he was pretty good at picking out people for you.
🤍But then again, he knew you almost better than he knew himself sometimes.
🩷If he let you, you would call him your brother.
🧡And sometimes, that just seemed to slip out of your mouth anyway.
