Once upon a time, they had been strangers. Funny to look back at that time now, as though there ever could have been a part of life where they weren’t friends.
It had started small, a smile, a wave. Then the first conversation, the discovery of a shared interest.
(Saving each others’ lives a time or two didn’t hurt either.)
And somewhere along the way, between great adventures and the small, mundane things that build a life, the alchemy of time worked its magic, transmuting lead to gold, strangers to friends.
Impossible, now, to imagine a world that didn’t hold them both, fast friends forever.
