Every friendship is different, but the best of friends usually have a lot of traits about their relationship in common with others. Here are a few, told through everyone's favorite Brooklyn precinct.

They’re ready to defend you to the death… They’ll destroy anyone who ever even thought of hurting you and are emotionally prepared to take the jail time if necessary.

If you don’t like someone, they don’t like them either. Your enemy is their enemy, and there is nothing the other person could say or do to change it.

The idea could literally be an injury waiting to happen and they are more than happy to join you on the wild adventure.

You take them out in public and you ask them to act normal, so of course, they wait until the worst possible time to do something completely ridiculous and incredibly embarrassing.

No matter what’s going on, they’ve always got your back. Whether it’s 2 pm or 4 am, they've got you.

You love each other so much that you don’t judge each other for your weird hobbies.

You may love them with all of your heart, but holy cow, they make you crazy sometimes. Like, “rip your hair out of your head and scream in to the void” crazy.

When you start making crazy suggestions, they remind you to use your brain and think it through before you do something that could get you hurt or in trouble.

You’ve heard literally every story of their life that is worth hearing about a hundred times so by the hundred and first time, you can’t help but mock them through the entire telling.

There’s no such thing as too far with them. They’ll walk up to you while you’re talking to another friend, touch your butt, wink at you, and walk away like it was nothing.

No matter what is going on, they know how to make you laugh. Your laughter is the beautiful soundtrack to their best days, or something like that anyway.

For some inexplicable reason, their presence makes you weirdly confident. You’re more likely to step out of your comfort zone when you’re with them. You may even find it in you to flirt with that cutie you’ve been casually Facebook stalking for the last 3 months.

They are truly the only person you trust enough to allow them to give you a make over, but you’ll learn your lesson every time you do, because they burn you when they curl your hair and your makeup only lasts roughly twenty minutes before you forget it’s there and you rub your eyes.

If they see you even look at someone as if you’re interested, prepare yourself for a whole world of “subtle” pressure to get with the person in question. There is a good chance this will all go down with them sitting within earshot because it’ll embarrass you.

Even when you fight, you know that they won’t stay mad at you forever. It may seem that way, but they love you and you both know it.

They are almost guaranteed to mom the shit out of you. It doesn’t matter that you’re 20-years-old and even your parents have accepted your adulthood, they expect you to be home at a reasonable time unless it was otherwise discussed prior to your leaving.

The two of you know FAR too much about the intimate details of each others love life... Enough said.

More often than not, the jokes you make when you’re together are at the other's expense almost exclusively. This is all fine and dandy until something hits a little too close to home.

You guys may not have all of the same interests, but you’re best friends and you love each other with all of your hearts.
