aight so funny story (that actually isn’t funny at all but humour me): at my school me and my cousin Edy are friends, okay? we’re cousins, but not a lot of people know that. anyway, Edy likes to give hugs. I like receiving hugs. Works for us, everyone’s happy.
so lunch period just started and I see this boy a couple steps ahead of me so I was like “hold on a sec” to my friend who was talking to me and go and surprise this boy cause I wanna say hi. Edy, or “Didi” as some members of the family like to call him (such as myself), was with a bunch of his boys, who did not know that I’m his cousin.
So, I’m like “Didi!!” and say hi and Edy gives me a little side hug. his boys think we’re flirting and keep going like “ooohhhh Edy’s got gaaaame” and the whole shebang. My friend is dying of laughter cause she knows we’re related. Edy apologizes, we talk a tiny bit, then say bye cause me and my girl are buying lunch.
Two seconds later we hear Edy’s boys down the hall, with very loud and audible groans of dismay and embarrassment. Then Edy texts me, saying, “never tell anyone we’re cousins. I enjoy revealing that too much”

just made me think about how often we say hi and hug in the hallways and how many people think it’s in a romantic way, rather than a familial way. I s2g I’m so grossed out rn oml
