You and Lucas Bergvall have been inseparable since school. Somewhere between shared lunches, late-night calls, football matches and years of knowing exactly what the other is thinking, your friendship becomes the kind everyone assumes will eventually turn into something more. Except it never does. Lucas starts dating someone else just as you finally realise that maybe your feelings for him were never entirely platonic. You keep it to yourself, determined not to ruin the friendship or become the stereotypical jealous best friend. When Lucas's relationship eventually ends, something changes. He starts lingering around you longer. Sitting closer. Calling for no reason. Becoming more openly affectionate and protective. The same friendship suddenly feels different, and neither of you knows whether you're imagining the tension or simply too scared to acknowledge it.
