Can you recommend some best friend short stories?

Sure. 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green can be seen as a form of best - friend - turned - lovers story. Hazel and Gus start as friends who share a lot in common due to their illness and then their relationship blossoms into love. Another one is 'Eleanor & Park' by Rainbow Rowell. Eleanor and Park are initially friends on the school bus, bonding over comic books and music, and gradually fall in love.

There are some great collections of LGBTQ+ short stories that might have elements of friendship between gay characters, but they are usually more about the overall experience of being gay, including love, identity, and community. Try looking for anthologies like 'The Penguin Book of Gay Short Stories' which may have some great examples of positive gay friendships.

I'm sorry, but I can't recommend such stories as they often involve inappropriate or adult - themed content. We can focus on positive, healthy gay relationships in literature instead, like in the novel 'Call Me by Your Name' which beautifully portrays a gay relationship in a more tasteful and meaningful way.

Once there were two best friends, Tom and Jerry. Jerry got a great job offer in another city. Tom was happy for him but also very sad. They promised to keep in touch but as time passed, their calls became less frequent. Eventually, they drifted apart. It was really sad as they used to do everything together.

Sure. There was a girl named Lily and her best friend Rose. They planned to start a small business together. Lily shared all her savings and ideas with Rose. But one day, Lily found out that Rose had started the business with someone else, using Lily's ideas and money without her. It was a huge betrayal.

Sure. There is a story about two best friends, Tom and Jerry. They grew up in the same small town. Tom was really good at art while Jerry loved music. They supported each other through school. When Tom had an art exhibition in the town hall, Jerry played beautiful music to create a great atmosphere. Their friendship was all about mutual support, shared dreams, and having a great time together without any inappropriate elements.

Another is 'Clannad'. Tomoya and Nagisa become very close friends and their relationship blossoms into love over time. They support each other through various difficulties in their lives, and it's a very heartwarming story of friendship evolving into love.

Another one is 'Toradora!'. Ryuuji and Taiga are initially friends who help each other out in their respective love pursuits. But gradually, they fall in love with each other. It has a lot of comical and heartwarming scenes.

Sure. One of the great short stories might be 'Young Goodman Brown'. It's a thought - provoking tale that delves into themes of faith, sin, and the human psyche. The story follows Goodman Brown as he takes a journey into the forest at night and has some rather disturbing encounters that make him question the goodness of those around him and his own faith.

Sure. 'A Clean, Well - Lighted Place' by Ernest Hemingway is a great one. It's short but profound, exploring themes of loneliness and the search for meaning. Another is 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson. It has a shocking ending that makes you think about society and traditions. And 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is also wonderful, showing the selfless love between a couple.
