If you haven’t gotten your daily dose of cuteness yet, you’re in luck, because this story is one of the most adorable things you’re ever going to learn about in your entire life: The two flies in your apartment seem to be becoming friends.
Awwww! This is the sweetest thing!
While the two flies started out on opposite sides of your apartment, with one hovering around your living room window and the other hovering around the bowl of fruit you keep on your kitchen table, over time they’ve been flying closer and closer to each other, and they’re clearly developing a deeper sort of companionship. Just a few hours ago, both of the flies landed on your coffee table, one so he could rub his front legs together and the other so that he could crawl around near some crumbs. Then the two flies took off at literally almost the same time and started flying around your living room kind of close to each other.

“While we can’t read the minds of these flies, after extensive analysis and rigorous peer-reviewed studies it’s safe to say that they are buddies,” said Professor Allison Raudsepp, a biologist at Princeton University who recently published a paper on the ways the two flies in your apartment recently spent over an hour hovering around your kitchen garbage can together. “After watching these two dudes crawl all over the same apple or land on the same windowpane and rest there only a few inches apart, it is quickly becoming the consensus in the scientific community that they are pals and only growing closer.”
Professor Raudsepp said she was particularly interested in the way the flies seem to fly around in circles that are nearish to one another. “Think about it,” she said, “if you and your best friend had wings, would you fly far away from each other, or kind of next to each other? The fact that these flies are close together shows they are best friends and might even be in love.”
Well, it’s official: this situation is so goddamn precious that we cannot possibly handle it. If you’re not squealing with glee right now thinking about the two flies in your apartment hanging out and being bros, you do not deserve to be protected by the laws of our country. We can’t wait to watch this budding friendship between the flies in your apartment get deeper and deeper. It’s one of the best things we’ve ever heard about, and it’s giving us a reason to live!
