...Before......
...Days at school turned into weeks and months, and the friendship between the two young men grew, reaching a point where they shared all their secrets and dreams....
...One day, while they were studying in their room, each at their own desk, a question from Guilherme broke the silence....
..."Are you dating anyone?"...
...Daniel, slightly distracted as he wrote, replied casually. "Yeah, I have a girlfriend. How about you, dude?"...
..."No." Guilherme answered....
...For a few minutes, the room was enveloped in silence. Then, Guilherme broke the quietude....
..."What do you want to do when you graduate?"...
...Daniel looked up, his thoughts sinking into the wall in front of him, before answering. "I want to be a TV news anchorman."...
...Daniel's answer caught Guilherme by surprise, making him let out a slight laugh....
..."Seriously? I thought you were going to want to be a doctor or something. You're the smartest student of all of us."...
...Daniel laughed at his friend's reaction. "My face is too pretty to be hidden behind a mask. I want to be seen!"...
...Guilherme joked, throwing a pillow in Daniel's direction. "And then you complain about being teased!"...
...They both laughed at the situation....
...Curious, Daniel then turned the tables and asked his friend about his future....
..."What about you?" he asked....
...Guilherme answered readily, with determination. "Dude, look at me, I was born to be a director, or better yet, a CEO!"...
...Daniel turned to Guilherme, keeping a straight face, although he could barely contain his laughter. "You could start your own journalism company and hire me as an anchorman, what do you think?"...
...Guilherme crossed his arms and then his legs, keeping his eyes fixed on his friend. "Not a bad idea. Maybe I'll use that angelic face of yours to get even richer!"...
...Daniel kicked in the direction of Guilherme's chair. "Who are you calling angelic?"...
...Guilherme couldn't resist the temptation to provoke his friend, loving to see him react. "Jokes aside, I think we can work together in the future. It would be great to keep our friendship."...
...Hearing those words, Daniel let out a laugh, putting aside the insults he had hurled at his friend, and sat back down....
..."Since you're going to get so rich using me, you could also bankroll me and invite me to live in your luxury apartment, as well as give me the most expensive gifts"...
...Guilherme couldn't resist and threw out a playful taunt:...
..."So, are you applying to be my boyfriend and future husband?"...
...Daniel laughed, answering naturally:...
..."Yes!" He let himself be carried away by the joke, without malice....
...Guilherme moved closer with a mischievous smile:...
..."Then you will be my beloved bride?"...
...Daniel threw a pillow back at him....
..."You can't resist telling a joke, can you?"...
...Then Guilherme returned to his side of the bed and, turning to face the opposite wall, lay down. Silence filled the room for a moment, while Daniel continued studying. His mind was racing with questions, but he didn't take Guilherme's teasing seriously, considering it just another of the countless jokes they always shared....
...He turned silently, watching his friend lying on his back. Maybe this was his characteristic way of treating close friends, Daniel pondered....
...However, something inside him burned more and more for that friend. Unable to contain his thoughts, a question escaped his lips:...
..."At least you should start asking me out before you consider me your boyfriend and husband."...
...Guilherme, who had been lying with his eyes closed, opened them in surprise at his friend's unexpected statement and slowly turned towards him....
..."Would you say yes if I asked?" asked Guilherme, surprised by Daniel's quick response....
...Daniel, still caught up in the playful mood, answered without hesitation:...
..."Yes!"...
...He immediately sat up on the edge of the bed, facing Daniel's back. His friend's voice had changed, and for a few seconds, their eyes met. Impulsively, he added:...
..."I'm serious! But I can't right now, I'm dating, remember?"...
...Guilherme, lying down again, laughed at the situation....
..."I forgot you were dating." He shrugged, with a relaxed smile. "Never mind, forget it."...
...Daniel wondered if Guilherme was kidding or serious. Maybe it was just another of his friend's many provocations, waiting for the right moment to come up with a new nickname. Daniel took a deep breath and offered:...
..."If I'm single one day, we can date, if that makes you happy, since you seem to enjoy teasing me so much."...
...This time, Guilherme didn't react immediately. He just opened his eyes, looking surprised, and continued staring at the wall in front of him, thoughtful....
