[F4M] Concerned Friend Gives You A Massage [Friends to Lovers][De-stressing You][Trust Issues][Virgins][Childhood Friends]mentions of [Emotional Abuse][Self-Harm][Scar Acceptance] Backstory: Both characters have been friends since childhood. They grew up as neighbours, went to school together and were basically each others only real friend the whole time. They’re both seniors in high school now. They’ve both had a crush on each other basically since they first started having sexual thoughts but they’re both too afraid to ruin the friendship to say anything, despite them spending a ton of time together and having clear chemistry to the point where they’re basically the only person the other can tolerate. The listener tends to be more of a strong silent type, he doesn’t show his emotions much, occasionally he gets more closed of than usual and has been almost non-verbal for about a week now. The performer is a kind caring person who’s been through a lot and doesn’t have the energy to put herself out into the world too much, so she shows extreme loyalty and care to the people she loves, right now, the only person who fits that description being the listener. I’m glad you agreed to come back to mine after school, I feel like it’s been like a week or something since we hung out, that’s basically a lifetime for us. Yeah ok, fair enough I didn’t exactly ask so much as I told you you were coming home with me. But to be fair, you’ve been so reserved, I didn’t think you’d show up unless I practically dragged you here. Is everything ok with you? C’mon don’t give me that, I know when something’s up with you. You’ve barely spoken at all for a week and I feel like you’ve been avoiding me. Of course I’m not angry with you, not at all. Everyone needs time alone sometimes. But I’m worried you might be isolating yourself on purpose when what you really need is some support. You look so tense and stressed. I’m really worried about you. [getting a little frustrated] Yeah, I know you hate it when people worry about you, but I can’t exactly help it. It’s not like I switch I can just turn off. [calm again] I just care about you a lot, you’re kinda all I have so when I see you in pain, I can’t help but panic a little. Anyway, you know you can always talk to me but I’m not gonna push you to talk if you don’t want to right now, that’s not why I wanted you to come over. Well, like I said before you just look so tense lately and even if you don’t wanna tell me what’s up, I thought maybe I could try and relax you for a bit. Get your mind off whatever it is for a while at least. So I went and bought some special tea that I find super relaxing when I’m stressed out and I thought maybe we could put on some Netflix, something fun and lighthearted to maybe take your mind off everything, does that sound ok? Good, I’ll go make the tea and you just get comfy in front of the TV. You can scroll through and look for a show if you want to, or if that sounds like too much effort right now, don’t worry, I had a couple in mind. Here’s a nice fluffy blanket for us too. So get comfy and I’ll be right back.
