We grew up together, him and I. We’re only a year apart so I spent 80%-90% of my childhood at his place. He introduced me to Dragon Ball, which I am thankful for till this day. We were close but we did have moments where we hated each others’ gut. He once touched a lit firework on my arm when we were playing volcano with a frog. I still have the scar till today. It was of course by accident not out of spite. As life goes, we, like everyone else, drifted apart once I moved to a different town.
However, he still came to me to ask a very important question. Though I knew it was out of desperation, deep down I’d like to think it was because of that bond we created when we were much younger. The very important question he asked was “How do I win a girl’s heart? There’s this girl that I really like but I don’t know how to approach her. At all.” I let out a small nervous laugh, in my head the laugh was much bigger. Him asking me for love advice? Does he not know that me & love do not gel? I don’t know what I answered but it turned out great for him regardless.
He managed to get the girl and they’ve been together since forever. It’s not a surprise that they end up marrying each other. Every time I see him with the girl, he is nothing but attentive, nice & caring towards her. At times I can’t believe that’s the boy who I grew up and had kicking fights with, but that is him alright, and I’m proud of him to say the least.
Congrats! I’m really really happy for the both of you, and welcome to the family!
-What I wanted to say to my cousin’s video dedication but was too shy to say it. He will never read this, I know, but at least it’s out.-
