We’ve been friends since high school. There’s always been a flirty playfulness to our relationship, though it’s not the foundation of it—we have a lot in common and genuinely care about each other. This conversation from several years ago captures it well:
Me: [commenting on a story she told of two friends who are constantly hitting on one another] “yeah I feel like friendships where there’s that much sexual tension just are weird idk”
Her: “then what the hell would you call this?”

During covid, I’ll admit, we got into the practice of sending each other nudes on occasion. Don’t judge, it was a lonely time (and her boobs are IMMACULATE). Ahem.
She also is aware of my…uh…affinity for writing—ok I’ll just say it, erotica—and has read some of my stories enthusiastically. Lately she’s been joking about the idea of me writing one about a three way between myself and her [F] fwb. It really did start as a playful sort of thing, but she’s asked about it a few times since then which really got me thinking. A few weekends ago I had some free time and decided what the hell, I’ll at least start on it.
