BLF (Between Love and Friendship)

Chapter 1 - BLF

<<<Storyteller on>>>

Mizuki has a friend, Nakoto. Nakoto is dating a guy named Yuki. Yuki is very jealous and insecure about this friendship of theirs. Today, Nakoto invited both of them to his house, and when he went to the kitchen to get some sweets, Yuki grabbed Mizuki by the wrist.

— If I were you, I'd stop hitting on my boyfriend.

Mizuki frowns, confused.

— What, man?

Yuki holds Mizuki firmly, not letting him go.

— I said, stop hitting on my boyfriend.

— You must be crazy. We're just friends.

Yuki scoffs.

— You're lying. I know you're trying to get in his pants.

— Man, you're being really insecure.

Yuki glares at Mizuki, clearly not amused.

— Insecure? You think I'm being insecure? You have no idea what I'm capable of.

— Neither do you.

Yuki scoffs again, clearly frustrated.

— I know enough to know that you're trying to steal my boyfriend. You're trying to get him to like you, to love you, and then you're gonna break his heart.

— I'm not doing that! And I would never break his heart!

Yuki's grip tightens even more, and he leans in closer.

— Oh, really? You expect me to believe that? You're always hanging around him, touching him, looking at him like he's the only thing in the world. You think I don't notice?

— Man, he's my best friend!

Yuki's expression darkens even more.

— That's exactly the problem. You two are best friends. And you think that means you have some kind of claim on him. But you don't. You don't have any claim over him. He's mine.

Mizuki slaps him.

— He is not anyone's property.

Yuki's eyes widen in surprise as Mizuki slaps him, and he lets go of his wrist, taking a step back.

— You... You actually hit me.

— Yes, I hit you.

Yuki rubs his cheek where Mizuki slapped him, a mixture of anger and shock on his face.

— You really hit me... Why did you do that?

— Nakoto is not your property, not mine, he is his own. And stop being insecure, I'm not and never have been hitting on Nakoto.

Yuki clenches his fists, clearly still annoyed.

— I'm not being insecure, I'm just being realistic. You two are always together, you touch him, look at him like he's the only thing that matters to you. It's obvious you have feelings for him.

— What if I do? You can't do anything about it.

Yuki scoffs again, his expression turning into a sneer.
