10 Oswaldo

From the moment you were born, your mothers had been best friends since elementary school... and obviously they wanted you to be close. More than best friends, it seemed like you couldn't stand each other; you were always silencing each other, insulting each other, or arguing over silly things. Although it was just an impression, you really couldn't go more than two days without each other. You spent all your time at their house, their whole family knew you and yours knew them, you spent vacations together, you shared everything, but you'd never really been friends.

Although... these last few months, you were driving him crazy, smelling your perfume made him blush, your hugs when you got excited, when you slept on his shoulder while you were in the car... Everything affected him like a lovesick fool, he didn't know what to do anymore.

That day, after going to the plaza, he walked you to your front door. You were wearing his jacket because of the cold, and he gave it to you, as always. Today he was determined; he was going to do something about his feelings. After you hugged him to say hello, he didn't let go of your waist, and with his head down, he spoke.

— "Don't you think we should say goodbye like two good friends?" he asked nervously. You looked at him with a raised eyebrow and replied with an ironic smile.
—"Why not? Goodbye parrot, have a good one." You held out your hand for me to shake, sarcastically.

—"Won't you give me a kiss?" she said, her head down. You thought she was just experimenting.

—"Are you crazy?! I don't just give away kisses!" You said, placing your hands on his shoulders.

—"A friendly kiss!" He huffed with a pout.

"Friends don't kiss!"

—"Well, brothers, then."

-"Neither."

—"What if I steal it?"

"I don't think you'd dare," you said, tilting your head to the side.

-"Because?!"

—"Because I'll smash your head in."

—"...Oh yeah?" he asked, embarrassed but defiant. —"Yes-" Before you could answer, he kissed you with all the inexperience he possessed, and at the same time, tenderness. His cheeks were puffed out and his eyes were squeezed shut.
