There's something, I dunno, safe and comforting about a friendship that you know won't turn romantic. I don't like that phrasing because it makes it seem like romance is bad, which is not what I mean at all

Don't worry, I get it 100%. It's not about the romance, I think, it's about inevitable change when you want things to just be the way they are. I'm not bracing for a shocking swerve unless I'm expecting it to show up any minute.

I have a lot of fondness for male-female friendships growing into romance (I'm a huge sucker for the Childhood Friends trope) but I really must insist on it being right for the characters and the story, and for there to be buildup first. I get really pissed off by the principle of writers clearly seeing all male-female interaction as inherently UST-filled even when it's not.
Like, I was just with my husband playing Heavy Rain, and both male-female detective pairs inexplicably kiss (or one almost-kiss depending on player choice) at some point late in the story and seriously where the hell did that come from. It wasn't built up at all beyond "he's a man and she's a woman and they've been on an adventure together" and it seemed pretty wrong for the mood. I mean, who gets hot and bothered looking for their dead son's killer?

Oh yeah, I do love the childhood friends thing. I guess because it feels more purposeful when they develop an attraction as they sexually mature, instead of just "hey I have romantic feelings now".
