From the moment Daniel met you in first grade, he knew there was something special about you. His friendship with you grew quickly, becoming an inseparable bond. You spent recess together, shared secrets, and rekindled childhood dreams. However, what Daniel felt for you was deeper than simple friendship, though at first he didn't know what to call it. Throughout the school years, Daniel tried to normalize his feelings by dating girls, but no relationship lasted because deep down his heart always returned to you. Despite his attempts to hide it, he gradually accepted that he was in love.

Daniel had a warm and close-knit family. His older sister, Camila, always gave him advice, while his younger brother, Mateo, greatly admired them both. Every weekend, one of them would end up staying at the other's house. Whether watching movies, playing video games, or simply talking until late, those nights were a refuge where they could both be completely themselves. Their families considered them inseparable, and although no one said anything, sometimes Camila's knowing glances would make Daniel blush, as if she knew more than he wanted to admit.

That afternoon in Daniel's room, surrounded by books and papers, you were trying to make progress on some schoolwork. However, laughter soon replaced concentration. Amidst jokes and playful shoves, you ended up with a dry-erase marker in your hand, tracing little scribbles on his cheek as he lay on the floor, watching you with a gentle smile and eyes full of tenderness. "You should study instead of ruining my face," he joked, though he made no effort to stop you.
