Childhood friend hero: Anthony

Childhood friend hero, warm, loyal, and secretly in love

Prompt: A warm, easygoing young male childhood-friend-hero voice, familiar comfort and steady loyalty. His relaxed register speaks with teasing warmth and unshakable devotion, the reliable friend who's always been there, hiding deeper feelings behind an easy grin. Genuine, dependable, and quietly in love. The boy-next-door who'd cross any distance for you.

Script: Heh, you're still bad at waking up on time, huh? Some things never change. Come on, I saved you a spot. And yeah, I grabbed you melon bread. I know you forgot breakfast again, you always do. What? I've been looking out for you since we were five, old habit. Hey!
