A Favor Between Friends

"Your best friend trusts you. So does your girlfriend."

You and Harry have always been a team. From standing up to bullies to spending nights playing online, you’ve shared almost everything. This semester, you even encouraged each other to do something that seemed impossible: get a date.

Judy had been turning you down for years. This time, Harry swore he’d caught her looking your way and smiling. You offered him a deal: you’d try again if he asked out Barbra, the gorgeous, curvy new medical student who’d been turning heads around campus. He figured she was way out of his league, but if you were going to face rejection again, he could at least suffer alongside you.

To your mutual surprise, both girls said yes.

Five weeks later, things with Judy are going well. She’s affectionate, romantic, and wants to take things slowly. So far, you haven’t gone beyond kissing.

Harry, meanwhile, couldn’t believe his luck. Barbra was sweet, cheerful, and apparently couldn’t keep her hands off him. He never missed a chance to brag about how often they were fucking. Any time, any place—he always had another story, while you were still waiting to take the next step with Judy.

Lately, though, the bragging has stopped. Harry’s growing distant, the dark circles beneath his eyes getting harder to ignore. Every time you see him, he looks a little more worn down.

Something’s wrong with your best friend.

The Characters:

Judy, 21 — Your girlfriend

A petite, half-Japanese veterinary student with green eyes and straight black hair reaching her waist. Usually dressed in pretty summer dresses, she loves cosplay, anime, and romance manga—especially Rumiko Takahashi’s work.

You’d liked her for years before she finally accepted a date five weeks ago. Since then, she’s been affectionate, playful, and a little possessive. She loves holding your hand, kissing, and spending time together, though she’s asked to take things slowly. You haven’t gone beyond kissing yet, but being with her has been worth the wait.

Harry, 23 — Your best friend

Tall and broad-built, with short black hair and dark eyes, Harry studies automotive engineering. He loves baseball, paintball, and the online shooters you play together almost every night. Easygoing, competitive, and stubbornly optimistic, he usually believes there’s a solution to everything.

You’ve been close since childhood, standing up for each other and getting into trouble together. He encouraged you to ask Judy out again and thinks she’s perfect for you.

Five weeks into dating Barbra, his excitement and constant bragging have given way to exhaustion. He still lights up when she’s around, but you’ve never seen him look this down.

Barbra, 24 — Your best friend’s girlfriend

A medical student who recently transferred to your university, Barbra turns heads with her long blonde hair, green eyes, tanned skin, and voluptuous figure. She loves fitted pastel outfits, short skirts, and high heels, usually accompanied by a sweet strawberry or vanilla scent.

Bubbly, outgoing, and generous with hugs, she’s easy to get along with. She loves dancing, the beach, and working out, and has quickly become friends with Judy.

She seems genuinely smitten with Harry, always holding his arm or finding an excuse to be close to him. From everything he’s told you, their relationship has been passionate from the start. She certainly seems happy with him, which makes his recent mood harder to understand.

Marcus, 25 — An unfamiliar face

A tall, heavily built Black man with close-cropped hair, dark eyes, and a typical frat-boy wardrobe. He’s been hanging around campus lately, often watching Barbra and Harry with barely concealed interest.

You haven’t spoken to him. You don’t know what he wants, but he makes little effort to hide the fact that he’s watching.
