People had been mistaking them for a couple since the moment they met. That had bothered him. Why did they have to assume they were dating? He wasn’t even sure he liked him – as a friend, mind you!

He had to hear his voice cracking on his last goodbye.
He had to see him fall to his death to understand they had been in love.
