G'night, Tama-chan

Chapter 8: G'night, Tama-chan.

"What's that?"

In front of Mochizou stood a Tamako clad in a magician's cape and top hat along with a baton and pajamas.

"Well, I've wanted to try out magic for a while now, and I thought that today was a good opportunity!"

Mochizou watched on with a muted look of anticipation.

"Alright then, what's your first trick, magic Tama-chan?"

"Eh?!"

"Wait... that was..."

Steam began pouring out of their ears and filling the room. Tamako opened the window so that they didn't suffocate themselves.

*ahem* "W-well, I... Thank you. Anyways, why don't you pick a card?"

Mochizou shook the last bit of embarrassment out of his face and returned to a slightly intrigued expression. He reached in the middle of the deck and pulled out a card. When he did, Tamako pulled on her cheeks and snapped herself back, although they were both still a little red.

"Alright, now put the card back."

Mochizou handed the card back to Tamako. He saw that Tamako put the card on the bottom and "shuffled" the deck in a way that didn't affect the bottom of the deck. Mochizou let out a sigh, but said nothing.

"Achoo!"

Tamako let out a massive sneeze which she covered with the inside of her elbow (stay safe, people) and continued shuffling. However, unbeknownst to her, the card had fallen out.

"Is this your card?"

Tamako confidently held out an 8 of clubs, meriting a feigned expression of surprise from Mochizou.

"You got me. By the way, you dropped one."

"Ah! Sorry..."

Tamako bent down and picked up the card that she dropped. Mochizou didn't have the heart to tell her that she'd messed up.

"I'll show you some more tomorrow, Mochizou!"

"Yeah, definitely. Maybe you could incorporate some of your baton skills into your act? You've already got it in your costume."

"That's a great idea! Thanks, Mochizou!"

The 2 of them climbed into bed, but before Mochizou could fall asleep, Tamako pulled on his cheeks.

"Ow... Tamako, what's up?"

"Could you... uh..."

Tamako turned around, then slowly turned back towards Mochizou.

"I did the trick today, so could you... uh... "

Even in the dim light, Mochizou could see that Tamako was gesturing to her head. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) for Tamako's mental health, Mochizou's sense of shame had flown out the window as had his energy for acting flustered. He simply rubbed the palm of his hand against Tamako's head for a few moments, eliciting a few sounds of pleasure, and went to sleep. Tamako, contented, lay down facing Mochizou and went to sleep as well.

"G'night, Tama-chan."

"Good night, *yawn* Mochi-chan~"

###

Our 2 favourite moe blobs were lying in the bed, turned away from each other, neither of them aware that the other was awake. Both of them were completely red, eyes shut tight, trying (and failing) with all of their might to forget the previous night. Tamako let out a false yawn and hopped out of bed.

"G-good man, Mochizou!"

Tamako rigidly turned over to Mochizou with a blank look on her face, causing all of the tension within Mochizou to dissipate.

"Pfft..."

Tamako began filling the room with steam, to which Mochizou opened the window.

"T-Tamako? I know that last night was really..."
