Why me... why is it always me?

A/N: Advertisement time!

Do you like fluff? Yes?
Do you like dumb conflict? No?

Then comment down below which story idea you like more: Childhood friends potentially becoming something more, or High school freshmen having fun and adding spice to their lives?

The choice will be left up to popular vote, so just write "Childhood friends" or "High School freshmen" to choose.

This will be my first ever original work, so all feedback will be appreciated. Follow me if you don't want to miss it!

Chapter 6: Why me... Why is it always me...

"Why me... Why is it always me..."

Mochizou couldn't decide which one it was, but he was in a very, very situation. (That was not a typo.) Tamako had fallen asleep on his shoulder directly after finishing her homework.

"Tamako! Wake up!"

"Wha- huh? Mochizou?"

"We've gotta change into our pajamas."

After that and finishing up their nighttime routines, they went to bed.

...

...

"Can't sleep?"

"I'm just..."

"Nervous?"

"Huh?! What, no way, how could I be nervous?"

Tamako said these last few words in a hushed voice.

"G-Ah! Mochizou, you'll wake up the whole house!"

Mochizou, who had just lightly scratched Tamako's head, recoiled slightly, but quickly regained his composure.

"S-sorry about that. Let's try to sleep now."

"W-wait, hold on a moment."

Tamako was now facing Mochizou head-on. She slowly moved her arms up to Mochizou's head and buried herself into his chest.

"W-wha- hey! What are you doing, Tamako? Are you cold or something?"

Neither of them could possibly be cold at this moment. In fact, you could probably fry an egg on either of their faces.

"I-it's not that. I just wanted to."

Tamako quickly released him and they turned away from each other.

"It's getting late now! We should try to sleep, Mochizou!"

"Yeah! We should."

Mochizou started shuffling for a bit before ending with:

"G-g'night, Tama-chan."

Tamako's face, which had just begun to recover, instantly went flush again.

"Sorry about that! I thought it was a good idea, but then I didn't think it through and now I'm feeling kind of-"

"No, you can call me that. Just... when we're alone."

Mochizou raised his eyebrows and lit up the room with his blush.

"So do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

"Uh..."

Tamako remained silent for a few seconds.

"What for? There's nothing special happening tomorrow, is there?"

"It's friday, so do you have any plans?"

"No! I don't have any plans, why would I have any plans? Heh heh..."

Mochizou was setting himself up for an assist in Tamako's plight to give him diabetes.
