Chapter 9: Can't Say It (Just Say It Continued)
As I lay beside you tonight, regret is filling my mind.
How did things end up like this?
I should have just said it...
"Tsu-bo-mi-chan," Yaya-senpai smiled sleepily as she pulled me in closer to her with her left arm. "Go to sleep."
"I-I can't sleep," I said, blushing at the close proximity between our faces, and the warmth given from Yaya-senpai's front.
"I think someone is excited, and I think I know why," Yaya-senpai said. "Tomorrow we will find out who wins our little match, won't we Tsubomi-chan."
"I see you're still confident in yourself," I said.
"Always," Yaya-senpai chuckled.
I smiled and shook my head, "Baka."
Yaya-senpai removed her arm from my waist and reached up to touch my right cheek with her hand, "You look beautiful Tsubomi-chan, with the moon's light shining on you the way it is."
"T-Thanks, Yaya-senpai," I stuttered.
"Now I can't sleep thanks to you," Yaya-senpai smiled as she moved her hand away from my cheek, returning to her hold around my waist.
"Sorry," I said.
"Don't be, it's a good thing," Yaya-senpai said.
"How is it a good thing if you can't sleep thanks to me?" I asked.
"It's because reality is now better than my dreams," Yaya-senpai replied.
"We should go back to sleep though, Yaya-senpai," I blushed even more. "We have our last exams tomorrow."
"You're cute when you blush, Tsubomi-chan," Yaya-senpai said.
"And you're not listening," I said.
"Alright, alright," Yaya-senpai chuckled. "Good night, Tsubomi-chan."
"Good night, Yaya-senpai," I replied back.
How did things end up like this?
It's my fault... I can't say it...
I... I don't want to hurt you...
Forgive me...
