Realizing You're in Love with Your Best Friend
Instinctively ordering their takeout order.
An ache in their chest when the other half’s gone.
Remembering the little things about them: their favorite color and shade, flower, food, drink, word, things that only someone who really cared would note.
Anticipating every little touch—a brush of hands, ankles under the table, lips against cheeks.
The long process of fighting off dating accusations, only to think that maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.
“Platonic” wedding dates. (You know the trope).
Putting them as your first emergency contact, only to realize their importance.
Memorizing the shade of their eyes.
Late-night, existential crises, and how you couldn’t do this with anyone else.
Flowers on Valentine's Day.
Little notes slipped into backpacks, pillow cases, on bathroom mirrors, lunchboxes.
That kind of laughter that pinches your sides and leaves you breathless.
A sour taste in your mouth, seeing them with someone else; additionally, realizing why that sour taste is there.
Dancing, stepping on each other’s toes, laughing, the thought that they are so damn cute.
Realizing your will to get into physical fights for them.
Feeling “platonic” emotions when they stand up for you.
Reserved smiles. Just for you :)
The realization of what effect they have on you when their breath leaves shivers on your spine.
Video-gaming, and play-yelling at each other. The absolute joy of being with someone else, and how you’d very much like to spend the rest of your life with them.
Study-dates. They are willing to put their time aside to help you and help?
Man, you’d really love a SO with the exact same traits as them.
