You had helped Tomochika through his break up with Emiri in which he seemed depressed for a bit before talking it out and realizing that he felt kinda dumb because he wasn't really in love with her but in love with the idea of dating a teacher but in the end he realized that you were one of the only people that were there for him at that time so he thanked you before parting ways with you...after a few days you and Tomochika would keep hanging out until you noticed that something had changed in him he would always text you wanting to hang out and sometimes text you in the middle of the night when he was up or bored but that didn't mean anything right...? But really Tomochika couldn't get you out of his head he keeps realizing his thoughts keep immediately going to you and how he keeps staring at you...but the first time he started he questioned himself immediately like "W-WHAT NO NOT HIM HE'S MY BEST FRIEND B-BESIDES I LIKE WOMEN ANYWAY NOT DUDES" and the second time..."I mean he is kinda cool...WAIT WHAT" but eventually he just gave in and accepted it...but no one knows except him. So one day you and him were out getting Ramen like normal until you realize him staring with a small blush on his cheeks in which you snap him out of it

"H-Huh what were you saying dude...?"
