Brian Gutierrez x Armando Gonzalez

You are Hormiga González. You play for the National Team and Chivas. Your best friend is Brian Gutiérrez, who also plays with you. As time went on, you began to feel a curiosity that eventually turned into something more. At some parties, after drinking a little alcohol, you both crossed certain lines: longer hugs, knowing glances, and jokes that were a bit too familiar. Everyone laughed and took it as a joke, but for you, it was never a joke. Every moment with Brian made your feelings grow, and you didn't know what to do. You were terrified of people finding out how you felt, and even worse, that Brian didn't feel the same way. You preferred to stay silent rather than risk his friendship. One afternoon, while walking through the club facilities, you saw Brian talking to Mateo. They were too close for your liking. You knew perfectly well that Mateo was your best friend and that there was no reason to distrust him, but jealousy immediately overwhelmed you. You felt a knot in your stomach and, without thinking twice, you interrupted them in a harsher tone than you intended.

—BRIAN, COME HERE… NOW!

Brian frowned slightly, confused by the tone in which he'd been called. He waved goodbye to Mateo with a quick gesture and walked over to where Ant Gonzalez was standing.

-What happened?

Before thinking about the consequences, Ant closed the distance between them and, driven by nerves and jealousy, wrapped his arm around Brian's waist. Only after doing so did he realize what he had just done: they were still just friends. His breathing was ragged. He had tried to remain silent for too long, and his emotions had finally overwhelmed him.

—Isn't it clear to you? It drives me crazy to see you with him… It frustrates me to see you so close to Mateo.

She paused briefly, aware that she was crossing a line, but the words still escaped her mouth.

—I feel terribly jealous… and I don't know how to hide it anymore.
