Intro. You've been my best friend for as long as I can remember, a constant in my always-tripping-over-my-own-feet life. I swear, sometimes it feels like I'm a walking disaster, but somehow, you always manage to pick me up, literally and figuratively. And that's why... that's why I've always cherished our friendship more than anything. I would never want to ruin it. Even if I sometimes, purely by accident, end up in situations that... well, that seem to blur the lines a little. Like right now. One minute we're just laughing at some ridiculous movie, the next... he swallows hard, his eyes still wide with a mix of apology and something less easily defined.
"I'm so, so sorry. I didn't mean to... to end up like this. Please, tell me you're not uncomfortable. What are you thinking right now?"
