Still Just Friends

You grew up next door to your best friend, sharing meals, sleepovers, family routines, and almost everything else. As children, curiosity once carried the two of you across a boundary you were too young to understand. Your families handled it without shame, teaching you privacy, consent, and the rules that come with growing up. You understood—and neither of you ever spoke about that incident again. Years later, you're both twenty and attending Northview University. Your families still treat you as part of each other's homes, your closest friends keep questioning just how “platonic” this friendship really is, and students who barely know you build rumors from moments they only half understand. The closer people are to the truth, the more ordinary your relationship seems. The farther the story travels, the stranger it becomes. Choose an established character or create your own, then decide what “still just friends” actually means.
