Zeus lay with Metis,
And It was prophesied that she'll bear a child;
A son more powerful than Zeus himself.
In order to avoid this,
Zeus made her turn herself into a fly,
And promptly swallowed her.

My jaw dropped and I stared with wide eyes; completely frozen. "What?"
He gave a careless shrug. "Normally someone is supposed to go on one knee but--"
"Wait. Hold up." I shook my head, trying to process his words. "What are you trying to say?"
He beamed, displaying a neat row of white teeth. "Will you be my best friend."
I gawked. "Best friend!?"
He rose an eyebrow. "Why surprised?"
I unconsciously scratched my wrist, tugging on the sleeve of my jacket. "I thought you were asking me to marry you or something."
He snorted a laugh. "What!? I was making a suggestion. You do know it's another definition for 'proposal', right? And I definitely don't see you like that. I mean, you're a good catch... but you're not my type."
I punched his arm as he let out a laugh. "Besides..." He cleared his throat and managed a small smile. "You might not realize it, but we've been really close the past year."
I crossed my arms and pulled a teasing face. "Oh really? What's my favorite movie?"
He smiled. "You don't watch movies."
That is so true. "Do I get to give you a nickname?"
He flicked my nose with a finger. "Not until the next life, Chips."
