I don't know what's happening...
Then there was an incident with Tom...

It was a restless night.
You kept tossing and turning in your bed and you didn't know why.
Groaning out of frustration, you decided to just have a late-night snack.
Going downstairs, you see the porch light was open. Thinking nothing of it, you start to rummage through the fridge for a snack when suddenly a bright light filled your vision.
"H-Hey!" You yelp in surprise.
"(Y/N)...?" The light turns off and you were able to see Tom's face. He looked sleepy and his hair was a mess.
"Let me guess..." You said, taking out a chocolate bar in the process, "You couldn't sleep either?"
"Y-yeah." Tom lets out a deep sigh. "I was gonna have a drink by myself. It helps me sleep."
"Oh." You get a shot glass from one of the drawers in the kitchen, "Okay, I'll join you."
Tom seemed surprised by your sudden statement but quickly got over it and followed you.
You both sat quietly, the bottles and shot glasses separated you from each other as you inhale the cold winter breeze.
"I never took you as someone who drinks..." Tom says.
"Well, surprise surprise!" You chuckle awkwardly, getting a shot glass and pouring some Smirnoff in it, as little as possible. "I drink but I'm pretty weak." You say before swallowing down the drink.
"Huh, alright."
You have another moment of silence together, just drinking shots.
Sooner or later, you stop yourself and just began to think.
"Tom, what stopped you from sleeping?" You begin to ask.
Tom looks at you, a deep blush covered his cheeks. Other than that, he still seemed pretty sober. He was really silent, just staring at you for like 30 seconds before looking away.
"Uh...Tom?"
"It's that uh...thing your brain does when you've been awake for too long. You know...reminding you about...um...that embarrassing thing you did in 2nd-grade or...something." Tom was clearly fumbling over his words.
"I thought you were way stronger than that when it comes to drinking, Tom..." You giggle.
"I am! I've been drinking since I was 18! It's just that—" He pauses, taking another shot.
"Y-you...goddamnit..." Tom mutters under his breath.
Was he cursing at you or cursing at himself?
"Me...what? I mean if you wanted to drink by yourself, you could've just kicked me out—"
"No! It's...you." Tom says rather frustrated as if your existence was some type of nuisance to him.
"You're effortlessly beautiful everywhere you go! Look at yourself, your hairs a mess, your socks are mismatched, you have drool stains on your damn shirt, you have chocolate crumbs on your mouth and to me, it's all so adorable! What is wrong with me?! You're so unfair, (Y/N)!!"
"Wait, how is it my fault?! Do you expect me to put on makeup and wear a cute dress just to go downstairs and eat chocolate in the middle of the freaking night?!"
