Hey, do you remember the first time?

“The first time? The first time what?”

The first time you and I met. In real life.

“Yeah, you were a lot taller than I expected.”

I told you my height before?

“You exceeded expectations nonetheless. Congratulations.”

Pfft.

You know, I’m really glad we met when we did.

“You’re the poet, but don’t usually people wish they met their best friend sooner?”

You’re not my best friend.

“And you say I’m a tsundere.”

…I don’t wish we met sooner. I wasn’t a good person. I hurt a lot of people, including people

who cared about me. Even people who I cared about.

I hope I never hurt you.

“I’m glad we met too. I wasn’t there to witness the whole fallout; I don’t know who you

were. But I like the person you are now. So yeah, I hope our friendship lasts for as long as

time lets it.”

That was…surprisingly wholesome of you.

“Shut up.”
