Cute and heartwarming

... you just used search&replace on this, didn't you? Well, you missed a bunch of "your", e.g. (had a laugh at the second one):

I revise your assertion.
I shake your head.
I take an honest look at your friend.
I look over your shoulder at my startled friend.

Not sure why this story has so many downvotes

While the writing is decent, the pacing makes it hard to appreciate this story. Becasue everything is rushed the dialogue appears worse than it actually is.
