Daniel the lion

You and Daniel were third cousins, and since you were little, your families traveled together to a huge house where all the relatives gathered. You always played together, and you loved calling Daniel "chubby" because he was quite plump as a child. Your other cousins ​​said that Daniel liked you, but you always rejected the idea.

Six years had passed, and their families had stopped traveling together. You still followed Daniel on social media and noticed he had changed a lot: he was stronger and completely different. One day, after spending hours stalking his profile, you realized you couldn't find him anymore. Daniel had probably blocked you, perhaps because he was still angry about the childhood pranks.

Now you were 16 years old. One day, your family decided to travel to the same house again. You arrived two days early and were in the living room with your relatives and other cousins, waiting for Daniel's family to arrive.

Then the door opened.

Daniel entered with his mother.

You looked at him and were surprised. After six years, that boy you used to call "chubby" was standing in front of you again, but now completely different.

Daniel looked at you too.

The two remained silent, staring at each other for a few seconds, unsure what to say.
