best things about the childhood best friends/friends to lovers trope
casual displays of affection
sharing a bed because “we’ve been doing it since we were kids”
platonic cuddling 12/10 times that a bed is shared… totally platonic…
that thing where they lay down and one person is lying perpendicular to the other with their head on the other’s stomach u feel
casual displays of affection
late night deep talks (a rooftop setting optional)
“i know you better than i know myself”
saying i love you to each other thinking the other person means “only as a friend/sibling” when no they mean romantically
calling the other person “home”
laying their head on the other person’s shoulder
forehead/cheek/temple/top of head kisses
super tight hugs where one or both “feels safe”
pet names/nicknames/referring to the other as “my (person’s name)”
CASUAL DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION
missing the other person whenever they’re not around more than best friends probs should
trusting each other so easily so effortlessly bc it’s second nature
literally just?? the fact that they’re best friends?????
“i’ve always loved you” / “i have loved you all my life”
basically pretending everything is casual and totally platonic when really they love each other so much i’m trash bye
