Episode 13

...Before...

...Daniel returned home anxious and desperate. His best friend's last words, revealing "we're dating," echoed in his mind, and he couldn't refuse. In fact, deep down, he didn't even want to refuse. Secretly, he yearned to be closer to Guilherme....

...Over the past few months, Daniel had noticed Guilherme flirting with him discreetly, dropping hints and sharing secrets that only lovers would share. Perhaps it was the vulnerability Guilherme showed only to him, or maybe it was the way he made him laugh with his jokes and teasing, making him feel good, or a combination of all of it – Daniel simply loved having him around....

...He was never sure about his sexual orientation. He had never been involved with another man besides his best friend. However, it was undeniable that Guilherme's kisses and touches affected him deeply, making him yearn for more in that moment....

...Upon arriving home, Daniel rushed to the top bunk bed and lay down, reflecting on everything that had happened between them in the room, and ended up dozing off....

...Soon after, he woke up to his phone vibrating. Still drowsy, he rubbed his eyes and checked the message. He realized that Guilherme had changed his name in the contact list without him knowing to "your future boyfriend 'D'."...

...Daniel was taken aback. "When did he do that?"...

...Clicking on the notification, he read Guilherme's message and blushed. "I miss you."...

...He buried his face in the pillow, not understanding why, but longing for a sign from his friend. And upon receiving it, an intense shame washed over him....

..."Ah, Guilherme, why do you affect me so much?" he asked himself....

...Then, he grabbed his phone and typed back. "When did you mess with my phone?"...

...The answer came quickly. "The day you asked me to see something on your phone. I took the opportunity and changed the name..." ...

...Another reply popped up. "You're crazy! What if I had a real girlfriend and she saw that?"...

...Guilherme responded with a laugh and typed. "To my happiness, you're my boyfriend now!"...

...Daniel blushed again and this time hid his face under the pillow, trying to contain his mini-meltdown....

...Then, he replied. "Next time, I'm changing my name on your list"...

...Guilherme replied. "Okay, 'Mr. Late Bloomer' looks so cute on the list"...

..."Change it now"...

..."Fine, I'll put 'My Love'."...

...Daniel was speechless, his heart pounding. How could Guilherme say those words without feeling ashamed, especially being two men? ...

...For a brief moment, both stopped typing. As always, Guilherme was the first to give in, leaving his boyfriend anxious until their return to school....

..."I have a surprise for you. I hope you like it!"...

...Daniel always loved surprises. He had a soft spot for those little gestures, like when his brothers would organize surprise parties, even if they were simple, like a piece of cake that Julio, the oldest, would bring from the bakery where he worked....

..."Are you going to tell me now, or am I going to have to wait until the holiday is over?"...

...Guilherme responded with laughter and typed. "Just two hints: it has to do with your dream and our relationship."...

...Daniel blushed intensely. How could one man treat another this way? Since when did his best friend court him like this? Why him? Surprises? They had barely started dating, and Guilherme was already preparing something special for him? There were so many questions that only left Daniel's head more confused....

..."Changing the subject, did you get home safe, Daniel?"...

..."Yes, and you?"...

..."Everything's fine!"...

...Guilherme was beaming with the start of their relationship. He had spent months investing in his friend until he finally won him over. Right now, he just wanted to make Daniel feel special....

...He was about to send more messages when he was called for dinner, interrupting the mood and happiness they were both sharing....

..."I have to go now. I'll call you tomorrow, okay?"...

...Daniel agreed and said he also needed to excuse himself. After all, they would both face their families at that moment....
