Deal

"Dear… I want to make a bet…"

It was the next morning and me and Tochaki-san were eating breakfast. She wanted to make a bet but what was it about?

"Umm, about what?"

"If I score the highest on the next exam… I want you to do whatever I want."

"And If you don't?"

She looked like she was thinking hard. What did she want me to do that was willing to push her into getting first place on the exams?

"...I'll let you take more photos of me…"

"Sold."

Pictures of Tochaki-san was something I'm willing to do anything for, but am I able to get it? The bet only really requires Tochaki-san to work hard and I don't need to do anything. Tochaki-san is also smarter than me in terms of academics so I couldn't even help her if I wanted to.

"Well, what is the thing that you want me to do?"

"I'll tell you after…"

"Why?"

"....Because I'm not sure if you would agree to it."

"Then all the more reason to tell me now so you can change what you want me to do if I actually don't agree!"

Is this girl a little airhead?

"...If I say it now you have to promise me you would agree to it."

"I'll only agree to it if it's something reasonable that I can do."

"Oh you can definitely do it, just not sure if you want to…"

She looked more and more embarrassed as this conversation continued. What is that this cute girl desires?

"Alright fine… what can I do for you princess?"

"...I want to spend a night together…"

"Spend a night? We live together and our bedrooms are literally right next to each other."

"Not that… I mean… I want to spend the night in the same room…"

I was a little surprised but wasn't as shocked as I thought the request would be. Again, I knew this cute girlfriend loves attention from her lover so it made sense this day would eventually come. I looked at her with a blank face.

"Tochaki-san…?"

"But you know! Not anything indecent! I j-j-just w-want to spend a night together!"

"..."

"...I just want to cuddle together… I loved it when you offered me a hug yesterday… it felt warm and comfy…"

I knew if I stared and didn't say anything long enough, I could get her to say the real reason why she wanted to do something. What a troublesome girl she is. But I guess this is something I love about her. She is now wearing a face full of embarrassment. She is so cute. 

I stood up from my chair and walked towards her. She turned her head and acted confused. I opened up my arms and smiled at her.

"What a dummy you are… I told you didn't I? You don't need a reason to want to hug me."

She looked at me with the same embarrassing face, stood up, smiled, and ran into my arms.

"So is that a deal?"

She looked up and her ocean blue eyes shined like a star,

"Of course. Beating Suiha-san would be a challenge, but I believe in you."

"Thank you dear… I love you."
