The Friendly Sibling Rivalry II Thomato and Thomaya (??)

"One week boyfriend"

Now that Thoma was my boyfriend, even if only for a week, I could finally be as intimate as I wanted with him, hugging, kissing, cuddling, all things that I never would have imagined could possibly be reality more than a month ago. Anyway, he slept in my room one night since we both fell asleep after discussing horticulture, history, and our favorite plays and songs all night. "Hey Thoma..?" I wanted to see if he was awake, he wasn't and I was still drowsy myself, I didn't feel like waking him and he was a cute sleeper, so I just lifted his hair back, kissed his forehead, and went back to bed. When I woke up again, at about 2PM I found a hot tray of food next to me on my night stand. "Hm? Who made this?" I ask, confused. "Oh, I made it, sorry for not waking up earlier." said Thoma, who had walked in with a hot cup of tea. "This is for you, I'll let it cool down a bit while you eat.", "Thank you." I flash a smile and then begin eating.

"Did you eat yet Thoma?" I wanted him to prioritize his own wellness over mine. "Seems I went a bit too extravagant with your meal that I forgot to make my own.. whoops." I ask him to sit on the bed near me. "Here, it's an unreasonable amount of food, I couldn't possibly eat it all" I tell him to open his mouth so I can feed him some of the grilled fish he made. "Are you sure? I don't want you to feed me your food and be hungry later on" He insisted. "I'm positive, trust me, at dinnertime I can usually only intake a bit of curry on rice before I'm full." I assure him. "Yeah, I guess that is true" he chuckles then takes a bite. We had both realized what me feeding him meant and started blushing. "The.. uh- the fish is good" he muttered nervously, a bit of food still in his mouth. "Yeah, um.. is this the first time you've tried your own food?" I change the subject. "Well, Taroumaru is usually the one who tries my food, it's a bit funny that I trust a dog's opinion on my food rather than my own" I giggle at his silly little comment and we continue to eat the food, I finish my tea then we head out to go buy some things in the city.

"Oh! Look Thoma!" I proclaim as I point out a kimono and yukata shop. "You wish to buy one?" he asks me. "Two actually, I want us to match!" I say happily. "Okay then!" we head into the shop and see beautifully vivid kimonos and yukatas, color assortments that undeniably went really well together. I begin looking and spot the most charming kimono and yukata pair with a mixture of the colors red, blue, purple and pink. "Thoma.. isn't this just gorgeous.." I see him spacing out and looking at the ceiling as if deep in thought. "Thoma..?" I catch his attention and he asks if I found something, once I show it to him he stares at it in awe, much like I. He compliments me on how good my tastes were and we proceed to buy it. We wear them out for the festival celebrating the new year, eating caramel apples, watching fireworks, and playing games. We spent the rest of the week doing normal things like usual, going on dates, hugging, and occasionally I would give him kisses. It was paradise, a paradise that lasted an all too short time.
