In an endearing story coming out of Brooklyn, NY, 28-year-old Evan Hoss insists on referring to his lifelong best friend turned brother and platonic soulmate, Ben Langford, as “a buddy of mine.”
How quaint!
“What? He’s just one of my good buddies!” Evan told reporters, while simultaneously checking on a barrage of text messages he had just received from Ben, which he said were regarding “something hilarious that happened to him at work today.”
When reporters asked if texts like this were common between them, Evan said that, yes, they always tell each other about their days, before quickly adding that the two of them also exchange “sports updates.”
Aw! He’s trying to downplay the fire of his emotions!
Evan explained to reporters that even though he and Ben have known each other since they were kids and have agreed that they definitely want to spend the rest of their lives together, it’s simply because they’re “good bros” and not because they “share a soul bond that transcends the physical plane.”
When reporters pressed, and asked if there were any other phrases they would use to describe their bond, Evan refused to budge, saying they were simply, “drinking buddies.”
Ben agreed, saying that even though they spent the summers of their youth together, wading through tall grass and laying in the sun, he mostly refers to Evan as his “freshman year roommate.”
However, after thinking for a moment, Bensaid that if he was really being honest with himself, he sees their bond as something more akin to “brother angels.”
How beautiful!
As of press time, Evan had chosen to ignore the “brother angels” comment and still refused to admit he and Ben were twin flames. However, reporters felt that the way they lovingly bumped fists in farewell and exchanged solemn vows to “link up later” was admission enough.
