Intimate Best Friends

"Rose this was the worse idea ever! You didn't even tell me your target!" Boots scurry across the floor as shirts fly behind two running girls. Their giggling fills the air along with their mischief not so far behind.

"Well do you want to know now?" She snickered, Iris shakes her head.

Yes please..!" Her formal and kind voice rang out. The voice of an angel. Rose only smiled wider and slowing down for her friend to catch up.

"The delusional king himself, Maximus the fool~" She gasps, picking up her pace to match the others.

"Rose!" She cackles, skipping backwards to enjoy her reaction as she shrugs and folds her arms.

"What? He deserves it!" Iris pulls her over to avoid a incoming wall then pushes her up the stairs in hushed tones.

"You're gonna get us kicked out! Or worse, expelled! Or even worse, get yourself expelled!" The coralnette giggles more and pas her head, waving off any concern.

"Now now Iry, don't think like that! Stay bright like you always do." Iris's cheeks heat up, a hint of pink colors her cheeks.

The two girls slows down, turning down the final corner into their class hallway. Iris draws a slow breath, calming herself while Rose

Only a few other of their classmates were there with their phones capturing their attention.

Iris calmly straights her posture, rests her hands clasp together on the desk. Rose leans in, grinning smugly. "So regal I see."

Iris pushes back with her own forehead. "Shush, I'm just being prepared when the teacher arrives."

Eyes attentive yet hidden in her hair bang locks, nose turnt up, lips curved in a mischievous smile, Rose leans towards Iris enticingly again.
"So Iris, what are some of your relationship plans in the near future?"

"Wha-Wha-...! I-I, w-well, um, I was going to start uh- d-dating once I get older or- uh- you know...." Cheeks puffed out pink, embarrassed and flustered, Iris sheepishly pulls at her skirt's rim and squeezes her eyes shut.

"Aww Iry you don't have to answer if you're that embarrassed~" Her cheeks burn red as Rose laughs.

"I just- uh- don't wanna say it here." Her smile grows wider and goes along with whatever she says.

"Okaiii..." Other students, one in particular painted in blue & pink stomps to his seat gritting his teeth in irritation, and sits down. The two stare at the painted boy before looking back and giggling at each other.

"Okay maybe it's funny. Just a little."

-/\-/\-

They climb up the stairs and dash into Iris's room after yelling quick hellos to her family. The door locks behind them as they giggle and jump on her bed. They throw off their shoes backpacks.

"Look, Iris I need to tell you-"

"Rose, I have something I really need to tell you too-"

"I-I LIKE YOU! Like-Like, like like you!"

".."

"I.... love you Iris, like full on love you." A sheepish blush blazes away on her face, Iris's face only copies Rose's, flustered and mouth agape.

"I-I..."

"Iris. It's fine. I get that you aren't into me-" Quickly she shakes her head and hands at her.

"N-No! I am!" They exclaim in unity.

"Look I just don't want to ruin our friendship."

"Rose, I really don't want to ruin our friendship."

They both stare at each other in awe, Iris gasping and Rose staring blankly. "Wait what?"
Iris sighs and tucks her hair behind her ears.

"Look." Iris scoots closer to Rose, wordlessly beckoning her to crawl over and rest her head in her lap. Rose instinctively does so and her wild hair splashed against Iris's lap as she watches her best friend get comfortable. "I don't want this to be inflation."

Quickly the red head sits up, eagerly. "Neither do I!" A hand and a stern gaze meets her face.

"Rose."

"Right, sorry. Let you talk." The Iris sighs and runs her hands through her short coral hair, making Rose lays back down.

"It's fine. But yes, I don't want our feelings to be inflation. And if it is, and we do... go out... then well..." Rose turns over and faces Iris's face, resting her hands on her own stomach. She looks down on her closest companion, the one person she is closest with.

"Yeah... I don't want to lose you Iris... You're the best thing that ever happened to me. I... I don't want to lose you. I don't want to hurt you. Please don't go...." Tears peer from under her hair, she quickly rubs them away with her sleeve. Iris sits her up and hugs her tightly, rubbing her back. "Shhh, it's okay, I'm here. I won't go."

She nods and pulls away slowly, looking into Iris's wide concerned eyes. "Nightmares again isn't it?"

"I-Is it that obvious?" She nervously laughs though her friend responds with a simple small smile and nod. Rose slides over and hugs her knees. Iris takes another sigh before continuing.

"Okay so how about this. We continue to be not just best friends, but... close best friends. And when we get older and in college- (we're most likely in the same college anyways-), we'll hit it off." Rose nonexistent eyes light up

"Really?!" A pink lips curl into a soft smile, nodding. Her cheeks are painted with pink yet isn't deterred as she gently grabs her hands and squeezes it.

"Yes. Does that seem like a plan?" Rapidly Rose nods her head, smile wider than a mile.

"Of course! Yesss! It's perfect!" She pulls Iris to her feet, bouncing up and down in a circle. Both laugh in giddy joy, before Rose tightly embraces her. "Okay- Okay- Okay Rosie! I love you too..!"

"I know you do!~" A cheesy goofy smile glued on her face as Iris looks back at her. She pulls away and faces her. "Intimate best friends?"

"Intimate best friends! For life!"
