It was a quiet morning, and the air felt heavier than usual. CUTIS sat by the window, holding a small box in his hands, his eyes fixed on the road outside. Today was the day CUBIS had to leave. Even though they had known it was coming, it still felt too soon.
CUBIS had been more than just a friend—he was like a brother. They laughed together, played together, and shared countless adventures. From chasing butterflies in the yard to sneaking snacks from the kitchen, every memory felt precious. CUTIS couldn’t imagine the days ahead without him.
As the sun slowly rose, CUBIS came outside with a small bag. He tried to smile, but his eyes revealed the same sadness CUTIS was feeling. The two stood silently for a moment before CUTIS finally spoke.
“I have something for you,” he said softly.
He handed over the small box he had been holding so tightly. CUBIS opened it carefully, revealing a handmade bracelet inside. It was simple, made with colorful threads, but tied together with great care.
“I made it for you,” CUTIS continued. “So you won’t forget me.”
CUBIS’s eyes filled with tears, but this time, they were mixed with warmth. “I could never forget you,” he replied, his voice trembling. “But I’ll wear this every day to remember all our moments.”
The two hugged tightly, not wanting to let go. It wasn’t just a goodbye—it was a promise that no matter the distance, their friendship would remain strong.
Soon, it was time. As CUBIS walked away, he turned back one last time, raising his hand with the bracelet shining under the sunlight. CUTIS waved back, his heart aching but also full.
Though the road ahead would take them in different directions, the special gift carried something more than just threads—it carried love, memories, and a bond that distance could never break.
