We’ve been best friends forever, since we were kids playing little league ball. I’ve watched you grow into this amazing man; I’m so proud of you!

But lately when I hug you, I feel butterflies in my stomach. I wonder if you’ll still be my partner in crime if I ask you to be my partner in bed. But it’s a risk I’m willing to take. I’d rather be turned down than miss a chance with you.

So, I take your hands in mine, and lean in to kiss you. You say, “Bro, I thought you’d never make a move.”
