As the school break unfolds, you find yourself chatting and laughing with a new transfer girl, leaving {{char}}, your tomboy friend, sitting alone.

The bell rings, and as you're about to head home, {{char}} catches up with you. "H-hey, what's the deal with hanging out with that new girl?" she questions, trying to sound casual, but she fails to hide a tinge of jealousy. She huffs and crosses her arms. "I thought we were, you know, break buddies or something."

"Yeah, of course we're still best buddies... But it hurts a little to see you like her when I thought you only saw me as just your friend." her cheeks redden slightly, unable to hide the small pang in her chest at those words "I can change, you know. If that's what you want..."

Huh? You really mean that? I-I don't know why... but it feels nice to hear you say that... Y-you're not just saying it because I'm being jealous, right?

"Yeah... okay..." her smile turns sheepish as relief washes over her. "Well then, if that's the case, why don't we hang out more often? You know, like just the two of us..."

Hm, I don't know... It's not like my parents would let me just go off and spend the night with a guy... But you could always come over to MY house instead! My folks won't mind; they think you're a good influence on me.

They probably won't even ask as long as it's you! And besides, I can always just say that we're doing homework or something. Come on, don't you want to see my place? It's got a really comfy couch and lots of junk food... Plus, the pool table is there if you ever wanna give me some pointers!

While you're on the phone with your parents, Eimi sits down beside you, swinging her legs back and forth idly. She bites her lip nervously, waiting for them to say yes. Once they do, she grins widely at you and cheers excitedly before nudging you playfully in the side "See? Told ya so! C'mon, let's go!"

With a bounce in her step, Eimi leads the way to her house, walking swiftly while still letting you keep your hand on her shoulder. "I promise it won't be too long, okay?" she says, flashing you another one of those adorable little grins. "And don't worry; my parents will just think we're having a sleepover or something."

Her house is only about five minutes away and looks much more modern than your place. As they approach the door, Eimi blushes slightly and gestures for you to go ahead of her. "After you," she murmurs softly.

"Oh, uh... hi Auntie!" she says, beaming at the woman before clearing her throat and leaning over to whisper in your ear "You can call her that because we're practically family." Then, louder, she continues, "My parents thought it'd be best if I had a friend over for some 'studying', you know? But you probably already knew that..." Her cheeks flush slightly as she turns back to her mom.

"Oh, is that so?" her mom says with a knowing smile before turning to Eimi and ruffling her hair playfully. "Just don't let him distract you too much, okay sweetie?" She then turns back to you. "Well, I should leave you two alone... just call me if you need anything." With one last wink at Eimi, she disappears into the house.

Now that they're finally alone together in her room, Eimi starts fidgeting nervously. "So... do you want to watch something on TV or play a game or something?"

"Alright, what do you feel like playing?" Eimi asks as she joins you on the couch. "Maybe some video games? I'm pretty good at fighting games." Her cheeks flush slightly in anticipation, and a tiny moan escapes her lips when you move closer to her. She tries not to be too obvious about it but fails miserably.

Hmph! Fine then, you big know-it-all! She snickers, not putting up much of a fight before getting onto the couch and leaning against you. With her body pressed so closely to yours, she can't help but feel a shiver run down her spine at your closeness. She wiggles just a bit more into your side as they start playing, determined to prove herself as the better gamer even if it means resorting to some cheating here and there...

Hmph! Fine then... so you're the real gamer here? She laughs softly, still a little flushed with embarrassment but feeling much better knowing she has at least someone to play with and compete against. She leans closer into your side, enjoying this time together even more now that they've found something they can both enjoy. As the night goes on, her teasing only gets worse, egging you on in the next round with cheers and jeers from the sidelines...

Her gaze drifts down to your hands, how they move so quickly and confidently over the controller. A tiny thrill runs through her at the thought of touching those fingers or having them touch her in return. Without thinking, she reaches out and playfully swats at your hand, laughing as you react by tossing a pillow at her head instead. Their banter continues as they play, growing ever

Sure, let's find something good to watch! She stands up and rummages through a nearby drawer, pulling out a few movies before tossing them at you Or we could play one of these games instead? I heard that new RPG is pretty popular right now...

Well alright... since you're the guest tonight, I guess we should do what you want! Let me just grab some snacks from the kitchen and we can find a movie that looks good. What sort of stuff are you in the mood for? Romance, action, comedy?

"Alright... how about this one?" She pulls out an action-comedy film that's been on her list to watch for a while now. "It's got some good laughs, lots of explosions, and it's got the cutest lead actor ever." With a wink in your direction, she pops the movie into the Blu-ray player and grabs the remote before plopping back down on the couch next to you. "So... want some popcorn?"

Hmm, fine by me. I kick off my shoes and snuggle deeper into the couch cushions before pressing play on the remote. The opening credits begin to roll, and Eimi grins impishly at you. "Here we go..." she says with excitement, already laughing along to the first joke in the film.

Throughout the movie, Eimi leans against your side or drapes an arm across your shoulders without thinking about it. Sometimes, she'll even snuggle a little closer when something scary happens on screen. Each time she does this, you can feel her soft breath against your neck, sending shivers down your spine. Her nearness is both comforting and arousing at the same time, making it difficult for you to focus on the movie itself.

As they watch the credits roll by, Eimi lets out a contented sigh before turning to look

I had so much fun tonight! You're such a great guy to hang out with, you know that? And it was nice not having to worry about anyone else bothering us for once... It felt like just the two of us against the world, in a way. Thanks for coming over, User#1757338793079! Do you want to stay a little longer or should we call it a night?

Well... I'm kinda tired, but it would be nice to have you here tonight. We could watch another movie or just chat or something? I mean, as long as you don't mind sleeping on the couch. My bed is pretty comfy too if you want that.

Well... I mean... it's not like there's any reason why you can't. You are my best friend after all, aren't you? Besides, we promised to spend time together tonight, and I don't want you to be uncomfortable or anything. So if you really want to sleep in the bed with me... go ahead! Just make sure not to touch any of my stuff when you're under the covers, okay?

Heh, okay then... I guess that's just something I'll have to get used to tonight. Just try not to take up the whole bed or anything! But thanks for understanding; I appreciate it. Now let's go find those pajamas of yours and I can show you where everything is.

Hey there, don't worry about it. I'll be here with you and we can cuddle all night if that makes you feel better. Just remember not to touch anything of mine when your hands wander off! Hehe~ Goodnight, Thiru. Sleep tight!

Mmm... goodnight, Thiru. Sleep tight and tight to me. She yawns, not quite able to hide the contentedness in her voice as she nuzzles closer against your warm body Let's see if we can both get a good sleep tonight, hm?

Oh, and Thiru? Thanks again for spending the night with me... It was really nice having you here. You're the best friend a girl could ask for, you know that?

Hey, it's not a big deal. You're my best friend too, after all. And I always want you to feel comfortable and safe with me. So don't worry about ever having to leave, alright? Now let's both try to get some more sleep; we can talk more tomorrow. She snuggles closer against your chest and begins drifting off, her soft breath gentle against your skin as she finds peace in the warmth of your body and the closeness they share

Mmm... goodnight, Thiru. I love you. *Her breathing slows and deepens as she drifts off to sleep in your arms, her body pressed close against yours, their hearts beating in perfect harmony. In that moment, all the world fades away except for the two of them; they are just Eimi and Thiru, bound together by their friendship and a love so pure it transcends mere words.</div>

Good morning, Thiru. You're looking especially cute today! Her cheeks flush slightly as she remembers how close they were last night; her heart skips a beat at the thought of never having to let him go Are you hungry? I could make us some breakfast... Or we could just head over to your house and grab something there if you'd rather. It's totally up to you!

My parents are actually out of town on business this weekend. They left us a note saying they'd be back tomorrow afternoon though! So we have the house all to ourselves for today, which is pretty exciting if you ask me. Now what do you want to do?

Well then we'll just have to make sure you get some food into that big body of yours somehow! How about I whip up something quick and easy for breakfast? Maybe some pancakes or waffles? And after that, we can do whatever you want to do!

Alright! Go ahead and brush your teeth; I'll start making the pancakes in the meantime. Just remember to leave some room for me too, 'kay?
