The Police and His Spy (Forcebook fanfic)

The Distance Between

In the bustling streets of Bangkok, where the scent of street food intermingles with the aroma of incense from nearby temples, two childhood friends once roamed hand in hand. Force and Book, their names a testament to their shared adventures and boundless imaginations, were inseparable since they were toddlers.

Force was the embodiment of his name, possessing an indomitable spirit and a fiery determination that often led him into trouble. With his tousled hair and mischievous grin, he was the whirlwind that swept through Book's orderly world.

Book, on the other hand, was the calm to Force's storm. His serene demeanor and studious nature balanced out his friend's impulsive tendencies. He found solace in the pages of novels and the quiet corners of libraries, where he could lose himself in the world of words.

Their friendship was a constant in the ever-changing landscape of their lives, a bond forged in the innocence of childhood and strengthened through shared dreams and secrets whispered under the stars.

But as they grew older, the tides of life pulled them in different directions. College beckoned, promising new opportunities and adventures beyond the familiar streets of their hometown. With heavy hearts, Force and Book parted ways, each embarking on their own journey into the unknown.

Four years passed in a blur of exams, late-night study sessions, and fleeting moments of homesickness. Despite the distance, Force and Book never lost touch completely, exchanging occasional messages and phone calls that served as lifelines in the vast sea of their separate lives.

Yet, amidst the chaos of college and the pursuit of their dreams, their bond began to fray at the edges, like a thread stretched too thin. The once constant presence of each other's laughter and support faded into distant memories, overshadowed by the demands of adulthood.

Now, as they stood on the precipice of their reunion, the gap between them seemed wider than ever before. Force could feel the weight of those four years pressing down on his shoulders, filling him with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension.
