Duncan Scott and Tom Dean have won together. They've lost together. They train together in Stirling.
And at a thumping Tollcross on Friday, they stood together on the blocks waiting for the first big swimming final of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow to start.
Scott in lane two. Dean in lane three. Back to back. Little more than a metre between them. But by the end of the 200m individual medley that distance had grown. And grown significantly.
Scotland's poster boy Scott might have only finished little under a second in front of his big pal from England - who had to settle for bronze - but that is a lifetime in the world of elite swimming.
The 29-year-old's time of 1:56.38 was rapid for four lengths of furious thrashing, each one a different stroke.
