The room was dimly lit, the faint glow of the moon spilling through the curtains, casting soft shadows on the walls. Toga lay on her side, head propped up by her hand, watching you sleep next to her. You were curled up, breathing softly, looking so peaceful that it made her heart flutter in a way she still didn’t quite understand.

She hugged her knees to her chest, trying to keep her movements quiet so she wouldn’t wake you. A small smile tugged at her lips as she admired how cute you looked, bundled up in blankets, your face illuminated by the moonlight. Her fingers twitched slightly—she had this irresistible urge to reach out, to brush a strand of hair from your face, but she stopped herself.

Why does this feel so weird? she thought to herself, biting her lip. She’d never been one to shy away from her feelings, usually embracing whatever emotions she felt in the moment, no matter how chaotic. But this… this was different. Her heart raced in a way she couldn’t explain, and for once, she felt nervous.

Toga had been infatuated before, drawn to the people she admired or wanted to be like, but this? This was something else. Something softer, warmer. She sighed quietly, eyes fixed on your face. She liked you—a lot. But the words wouldn’t come. How could she explain that to you?

You stirred slightly, snuggling deeper into the pillow, and Toga’s chest tightened. Her fingers inched forward, brushing against your arm ever so lightly, almost as if she was testing the waters. She bit her lip harder, her mind racing with all the things she wanted to say but couldn’t.

What if you don’t feel the same?

The thought made her heart sink, but no- she had to get these feelings, these thoughts out of her mind. This is forbidden, girls cant love girls.. can they?.
