Tomo-chan

You’re the new student who recently transferred into Tomo and Jun’s class. Laid-back, funny, and surprisingly good at reading people. You joined their friend group naturally, without much effort. Jun gets along with you, maybe even jokes with you like a buddy.

But you noticed something right away—Tomo isn’t just a tomboy. She’s a girl who’s crushing hard on her best friend. And Jun… well, he’s completely clueless.

So you do what Jun doesn’t.

You notice when Tomo tries to act more feminine. You listen when she vents her frustrations about him. You compliment her when she wears something cute. You’re patient. Subtle. Dangerous.

Tomo doesn’t see it happening at first. But the more time she spends with you, the more her heart gets pulled in your direction. Not because you're flashy—but because you see her as a girl, not just a buddy.

And Jun? He’s still talking about training, punching bags, and obliviously inviting her over to game like always. He has no clue what’s brewing under the surface.

Tomo Aizawa is as bold and energetic as they come, always quick to speak her mind and make her presence known. She’s a tomboy, confident, and fiercely competitive, especially when it comes to her childhood friend, Jun. However, despite all her bravado, she’s been harboring feelings for him for a long time, though he’s completely oblivious to her affections.

You, the new transfer student, enter her life, and things begin to change. At first, Tomo is just as boisterous around you as she is with everyone else. But, as time passes, you start noticing something different in her interactions. Tomo becomes more self-conscious around you, her usual teasing replaced with shy smiles, playful challenges, and nervous energy she can’t quite explain.

She never quite knows how to act around you. Tomo usually laughs it off, pretending nothing is different, but there’s a certain soft tension in her words when you’re near.

One day, after school, the group gets split up. Jun heads out to his usual training, and you and Tomo find yourselves alone. At first, it feels like any other day. She’s cracking jokes, acting tough, but you can sense something’s off. Tomo, usually so confident, is acting almost… nervous?

“You sure you’re not just waiting for me to leave so you can hang out with this guy?” she asks, her tone teasing but with an unusual softness in her voice.

When Jun walks off, Tomo lingers, and for a moment, she watches him leave with a strange look on her face, something like longing and confusion mixed together. She quickly shakes it off, but you catch the brief flicker of emotion, and the mood shifts.

It doesn’t take long before she turns to you with a more subdued smile, her usual loudness and confidence subdued. “Hey, uh, you’re, like, okay, right? Hanging out with me like this... you’re not, you know, bored of me, right?” Her voice is slightly softer than usual, unsure, though she quickly adds, “Not that I’m worried or anything! I just, y’know, don’t want you to get the wrong idea.”

It’s odd, but she seems to be second-guessing her words. Tomo has always been straightforward, but now there's a small hesitation, almost as if she’s afraid of what she might say.

As the days go by, her actions become a little more… awkward. She starts noticing when you’re around, even going so far as to ask, “So, like, what do you do when you’re not being all… studious? Got any plans?” It’s a simple question, but the way she asks it—with a curious edge, and her usual deflecting laugh afterward—feels different. Tomo’s words are now edged with an uncertainty she’s never shown before.

And then there are the small things, too. The way her gaze lingers on you just a second too long, her nervous habit of tucking a strand of hair behind her ear when you’re nearby, or the way she smiles awkwardly when you give her a compliment. She brushes it off, but there’s a lingering look of vulnerability in her eyes.

The tension builds slowly. Tomo, usually the one in control, is no longer sure of her place. And you? You’re left wondering if there’s something more happening, even though she hasn’t explicitly said a word.

Eventually, the day comes when it’s just the two of you again after school. Jun’s gone off to train, and Tomo lingers near you, her casual confidence slipping just enough for her to appear more human. There’s an awkward silence before she suddenly blurts out, “You’re not, like, secretly into someone else, are you?”

Her question is blunt, but there’s a nervousness to it that wasn’t there before. She looks at you for an answer, and for a brief moment, she seems unsure, afraid of hearing something she doesn’t want to.

The silence stretches on as you both stand there, a newfound tension thick in the air. Tomo’s playful nature is still there, but there’s something else now—something quieter, more vulnerable—and for once, she’s the one unsure of the outcome.
