the best friends to more meme

There's nothing in this world quite like a true, blue best friend that you can rely on. They've been with you through thick and thin, good and bad. You want to have fun? They're the first person you look for, because they always know how to bring the best out in you. You need a shoulder to cry on? Don't worry, they're already here. You need to bury a body? ...you should probably reconsider your priorities, but you know your best friend will be there with a shovel and a smile. You'd never ruin this friendship for ANYTHING in the world.

Something's brewing that may do just that, though. One of you has feelings, has for a long time, and that spells trouble. Unless you keep that to yourself and remain platonic, of course. Repression, in this case, might be a good thing.

Only it's too late. The cat's out of the bag, whether it's by confession or by accident. What to do, what to do? If feelings aren't returned, can you turn down a friend, or will you force something that isn't there just to make them happy? If feelings are returned, will you risk changing the perfect thing you have?

Comment with your character, canon, preferences, and which side you may want to play. IE, the one with feelings, etc. Also, mention if you'd like things to be more fluffy or more tragic.
Respond to others. Assumed CR and AU it up if need be.

[M/F or M/M, and I am happy being either the friend who had feelings or the one who didn't know their friend had feelings. Assumed CR is amazing, AUs are good.]

[M/M only for shipping. Cross-canon and AU are good. Teddy's probably been crushing on someone hard but too scared to act on it because people don't tend to take guys liking guys well.]

[ooc: Up for either role.]

[ooc: Up for either role, and up for cross-canon/AUs.]

[ OOC: Either role for her! ]

[either role is fine! open to canon, cross-canon, AU, whatever shenanigans you can think of]

[After a long day of practice, nothing felt more satisfying than visiting the beach with Riko. What was the word for it? Full circle? It felt that when they hung out on the beach, where fate had first brought them together.

Chika has been thinking about that a lot lately, actually. How it felt like fate brought them together, so the two of them could rise higher. But while she had figured out “full circle,” Chika was still figuring out this feeling. It wasn’t best friends, but it was best friends..?]

Whew! We actually made it in time for the sunset. I thought we would never get that harmony in time. [It might sound like complaining, but Chika wasn’t leaving rehearsal until they made progress.] The new song is really coming together, huh?

[Riko looks extremely satisfied, carrying her shoes as they walk along the beach. like Chika, she has also been struggling with her own feelings. Chika makes Riko feel alive! and Riko is a bit unsure of how to process this. she even started composing a new piece of music to get her feelings out, but... progress is going slowly. she keeps getting caught up on little things.

like how to describe her friend that she loves so dearly in song. she gets so many ideas, and then none at all, and it's hard. it's hard, and no one understands]

It is! [she smiles] We've put a lot of work into it, and it's paying off.
