You & I, we don't wanna be like them.



BLURRED


For most people, the lines between platonic and romantic are very clearly drawn. Not true for you two; friendship and romance intermingle in your relationship, and to be honest, it's hard to discern where one ends and the other begins. You're bosom buddies. There's a spark between you. You're lovers, too, maybe, or it could be completely innocent. You're love interests. You're intimate, you're close, you're ride or die. You don't understand why romantic and platonic can't coexist. You don't need labels.

PROMPTS

  1. Since Forever: You've always been friends, ever since you were young, so this closeness is an outgrowth of that.

  2. Natural Connection: Some people just click. You guys go together like peanut butter and jelly.

  3. Love Everyone: At least one of you is the type to shower love and affection on everyone you meet.

  4. No More Darkness: They drug you out of your not-so-pleasant path, so you cling to them.

  5. Owe Them Everything: You owe them a solid. You're now more than simple friends.

  6. No Big Deal: You don't understand romance as separated from friendship.

  7. Cultural: Your culture doesn't discern so heavily between "lover" and "friend," a la troll society in Homestuck.

  8. Closeness: Hugs, cuddles, and kisses, oh my!

  9. All My Secrets Away: They know everything about you and can be there if you need help.

  10. The Most Important Person: They're not merely a special person to you, they're The Person.

  11. UST: Just because your relationship is unconventional doesn't mean there can't be a few unresolved issues, can it?

  12. Intimacy: More like Friends with Benefits.

  13. Feel More Comfortable with You: So, you kinda want to try this whole sex thing. May as well do it with the one you trust implicitly.

  14. No One Understands Me Like You Do: In general, not many get you. But this person does and it's such a relief.

  15. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood: Why do people keep thinking you're a couple? Okay, by some definitions, you are, but these guys are trying to limit you!

  16. Assisted Romance: One of you has a crush on someone outside the duo. The other is supportive...and wants to give some tips.

  17. Want to Be More: You want to actually be official and exclusive.

  18. Jealousy: All the attention your - well, not partner - sort-of-significant-bff has been giving other people really raises your hackles.

  19. Unspoken: You two don't have to speak or say anything about your status; you know what you are.

  20. Say You Love Me: ...still, you wouldn't mind hearing the l-o-v-e word.

  21. Realization: The person you want to be with forever, maybe even in a completely romantic context, is right in front of you.

  22. Bros Before Hos: You won't pursue or engage with someone outside the twosome because it bothers your special someone.

  23. Upgrade: You've decided to renegotiate the terms of your relationship.

  24. Romantic/Platonic Life Partners: No matter what happens, you guys are content to continue on as you are, even to life partner levels.

[ At times, it seems that nothing in Souji's life ever takes on a normal cast. His major life events are dramatic, borne of strange circumstances, and the way he'd met Petra had been no different.

He remembers the first time they'd crossed paths.

At the time, Nanako had been visiting him in the city and she had become hopelessly lost within the span of an hour, despite being old enough that they'd thought she would be able to navigate the train system successfully. With her cellphone dead and no way to charge it, Nanako had wandered into one of the worse areas of the city in search of a pay phone, and encountered the wrong crowd at the wrong time.

Long story short, Petra had played a critical role in keeping Souji's adoptive little sister safe, on top of reuniting the two of them later on.

Even in the earliest of impressions that night, Petra had presented with a sort of muted but fiery presence encased in something that seemed to suffocate and contain that flame simultaneously. It still showed and made a valiant struggle to cast its light, but there was a thin, brittle sort of darkness that wrapped it up and threatened to swallow it at the same time.

It was difficult to understand him, and Souji had been immediately intrigued by his complexity.

And with every step he takes to untangle the silk knot that is Petra, Souji catches glimpses of just how complicated the rest of the rosette really is.

When Souji steps off of the train, his chest tightens a little. It doesn't happen to him often, but it's a consistent thing recently. The moments leading up to when Souji catches sight of him are like the seconds before free falling. ]

(i hope that was okay ;A; let me know if there's anything you'd like tweaked!)

[It's fine! Just a note, though - his name is Petre, not Petra.]

[He waits when the train arrives, dressed in a large jacket that his scrawny figure can barely fill out. It's all good to him; the bigger the better, as long as it keeps him warm and allows him the freedom of movement. His backpack has just one strap slung around his arm, hanging from his shoulder; his hands are kept in his pockets and his eyes on the passengers stepping out.

This has become an event frequent enough for him to smile with anticipation, coming from school back to his house with the slight detour to keep Souji some company. They speak to one another in English, a language Petre still can't quite use fluently, but he does his best to understand and be understood, and that seems to be more than enough. Petre would like to be able to explain this friendship without humility coming into play - what he did wasn't that extraordinary in his eyes, even if standing up to a group of malicious teenagers was an unprecedented act of bravery in his life - but he's thankful enough for having it without being questioned too often. The other boy's company is a pleasant one, and he doesn't see it fading away any time soon.]


Souji! [A smile brightens his features, waving an arm to make sure he's seen. Little time is wasted in running over to him.] Hello. How are you?

( Oh god, I am so sorry - I had a friend not long ago who spelled their name that way and I didn't even realize what I was doing!

I just wanted to apologize asap. Will tag after work ♡ He's adorable!)
