A Bet Worth Taking (Tomo Aizawa x Male Childhood Friend)

Tomo stood in front of her mirror, staring at herself with a mix of uncertainty and excitement. She had changed outfits at least three times already, trying to figure out what was appropriate for a date with Y/n. This wasn't just any date; it was their first one. And as much as she tried to keep it cool, her heart wouldn't stop racing.

In the back of her mind, the memory of how this all started played like a movie reel.

Flashback

The gym was empty, save for the sound of fists hitting mats and the occasional grunt. Y/n and Tomo were in the middle of one of their sparring matches, each move calculated, each strike precise. They'd been doing this for years—testing each other's limits, pushing each other to get better. But today felt different. There was an unspoken tension in the air, one that neither of them could quite place.

As they fought, Y/n suddenly dodged one of Tomo's punches with a playful grin. "How about we make this more interesting?"

Tomo, always up for a challenge, smirked. "What do you have in mind?"

"Loser has to do whatever the winner says. Deal?"

She didn't hesitate. "Deal! But don't think I'll go easy on you!"

The fight intensified. Each punch and kick carried more weight than usual. But in the end, it was Y/n who managed to pin her down. Panting and slightly dazed, Tomo stared up at him in disbelief.

"No way... you actually beat me!" she gasped, more shocked than upset.

Y/n grinned, helping her to her feet. "A bet's a bet, Tomo. Now, you have to do what I say."

Tomo rolled her eyes, still catching her breath. "Alright, fine. What is it? Carry your bags? Help you with your homework?"

Y/n chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck with a bit of nervous energy. "Nope. I want you to go on a date with me."

Tomo froze, her eyes widening. "A... a date? With you?"

"Yeah," Y/n replied, his usual confident tone now softened by sincerity. "Just you and me. No sparring, no bets. Just a real date."

Tomo blinked, processing his words. A thousand thoughts raced through her mind, but one feeling stood out—she didn't mind the idea at all. In fact, she was kind of excited by it.

"Well... I guess I can do that," she said with a small smile, trying to hide the blush creeping onto her cheeks. "But don't expect me to go easy on you next time."

Y/n laughed, relieved. "I wouldn't dream of it."

Present Day

Tomo finally settled on a casual yet stylish outfit, one that still allowed her to feel like herself but looked good for her date. She sighed and gave herself one last look in the mirror before grabbing her bag and heading out the door.

When she arrived at the café where they agreed to meet, she spotted Y/n sitting at an outdoor table. He was dressed casually, but there was something different about him. Maybe it was the way he smiled when he saw her, or the way he seemed just as nervous as she felt.

"Hey," she greeted, trying to keep her voice steady.

"Hey," Y/n replied, standing up to pull her chair out for her. It was a small gesture, but it made Tomo's heart flutter just a little.

"So... this is weird, huh?" Tomo said, laughing nervously as she sat down. "I mean, we've known each other forever, but this whole 'date' thing feels... new."

Y/n smiled, nodding in agreement. "Yeah, it's definitely different. But I kind of like it."

They spent the next hour talking, laughing, and sharing stories—just like they always had. But there was a new layer to their conversation, a subtle shift in the way they looked at each other. It wasn't just friendship anymore; it was something deeper, something neither of them had fully realized until now.

At one point, Tomo caught herself staring at Y/n, noticing things she hadn't before. The way his eyes crinkled when he laughed, the way he always listened so intently when she spoke—it all made her heart race in a way that was completely unfamiliar to her.

After finishing their meal, they decided to take a walk through the nearby park. The evening air was cool, and the sun was beginning to set, casting a warm glow over everything.

They walked in comfortable silence for a while until Y/n suddenly stopped and turned to her. "Tomo... I'm really glad you agreed to this."

Tomo looked up at him, her heart skipping a beat. "Yeah, me too," she admitted, surprising even herself with how honest she was being. "I didn't think it would feel this... nice."

Y/n smiled, reaching out to take her hand—a bold move that made Tomo's breath catch. "So... do you think we could do this again sometime? Maybe without the whole bet thing?"

Tomo grinned, her heart pounding in her chest. "Yeah. I think I'd like that."

As they continued their walk, hand in hand, Tomo realized that maybe this whole "dating" thing wasn't so bad after all. In fact, it might just be the best decision she'd ever made.
