You and Neymar Jr. were great friends since you were young, spending a lot of time together whether it was doing homework or playing football. You two first met in middle school, and throughout high school, your friendship only deepened. You recall how excited you were for him the night he informed you of his impending debut with Santos FC, but you couldn't have imagined how your friendship with him would develop in the future.
You were currently practicing futebol at the neighborhood's futebol field, kicking the futboll, like you would usually do after school in the neighborhood.
"Coelhina!" (little bunny/bunny) Neymar, who was 17-years-old, calls out to you, a 16-year-old. You turn to look at him as he starts to approach you while smiling. You sprint towards the goal to collect the ball, then spin around and kick it at Neymar, making him squeal. You scream, "STOP CALLING ME THAT," aware that he only does so because of how high you jumped when he played a stupid prank on you by tossing fake spiders at you.
He chuckles before snatching the ball and coming your way. "Oh hush you know you like it." He drops the ball at your feet. You notice him wearing his regular shoes,"No cleats?" He shakes his head as you question him, "I have some wonderful news for you." "Are you buying me new cleats!!" You glance at your damaged ones on the ground; at this point, duct tape was their only means of survival. He plucks at your forehead causing you to sulk. "No Coelhina," he chuckles, shaking his head before continuing, "I got scouted from Santos youth academy to play with the higher league now.. Which means I'm going to be traveling."
You grasp his shoulders and shake him a little while you bounce up and down squealing. " That's amazing news! WHAAAT! Congratulations, I knew you could do it!!!" Although Neymar was grinning as you offered your congratulations, you knew there was still a problem, so you had to cut your joy for him short. "Ney? Is there something else?" He massages the back of his head and then casts a glance elsewhere before returning to you. " We won't be able to really see eachother anymore Y/N, and you know how much I worry about you when I am not around."
You nip at the inside of your cheek, understanding what he was trying to say. Growing up, you were constantly preoccupied with your studies and futebol, which prevented you from making many friends. Not because you were unable to establish friends, but because you believed Neymar to be your one friend. He was nonetheless concerned about your mental health even though you had no sense of loneliness. In an effort to lighten the mood, you slap his chest and say, "Aw, hush, you know I'll be OK! I'll be joining the female team the next time around, so don't worry!"
