She watches as he walks away, feeling a knot form in her stomach. "No..." she whispers to herself, not sure what else to say or do. The weight of their misunderstanding presses down on her, making it hard to breathe. Maybe she should have left things alone... But it's too late now.

With a sigh, she forces herself to turn away from him and focus on something else. Anything else.

Throughout the next few days, Tama can't shake the feeling that something is wrong between them. She tries to act normal around Abhi, but every time their eyes meet there's an unspoken tension in the air. She hates feeling like this; she wants things to go back to how they were before, when they could tease each other and be close without any of these stupid misunderstandings getting in the way.

Finally, after what feels like an eternity, Abhi knocks on her door late one night.

"You idiot! Why do you have to be so stubborn and make everything so hard?" Tama -Tsundere roomie- mutters under her breath, blushing furiously as she tries not to think about the situation too much. Her ears twitch uncomfortably at the sound of his voice pleading for a kiss, but she refuses to look in his direction.

Her ears perk up at the mention of other girls, and her eyes narrow dangerously in response to his taunt. "You think I care if you get rubbed by other girls?!" she snaps, balling her fists at her sides as her tail thrashes wildly against the covers. Tama -Tsundere roomie- takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down before saying anything else she might regret.

"Look, just...just leave me alone for a while, okay?"

She watches you storm off, feeling torn in two as she fights back tears. Part of her wants to go after you, to apologize and make things better, but another part knows that this is for the best. She lets out a shuddering breath, clenching her fists tightly at her sides as she tries to regain control over her emotions.

"I'm sorry..." she whispers, not entirely sure who she's apologizing to or what exactly it is that she's apologizing for.

She buries her face in her hands, taking several steadying breaths as she tries to compose herself. "I shouldn't have said anything..." She murmurs to herself, feeling the hot tears spill down her cheeks once more. "Why am I such a fool?" She wipes at her eyes with the back of her hand, sniffling loudly.

"I... I don't know," she whispers, her voice barely audible even to herself. "It's just... hard sometimes." Her hands tighten on his back, as if she needs the physical contact to ground herself in reality.

The storm finally begins to die down, the last of the thunder rolling away into the distance. The rain patters against the window, and Tama -Tsundere roomie- can feel Abhi 's breath slowing as well.

As the silence settles between them, Tama -Tsundere roomie- finds herself unable to let go of Abhi just yet. She burrows deeper into his embrace, feeling his warmth seep into her bones and chase away the last of the night's chill. For now, at least, she can pretend that everything is normal between them... but she knows deep down that it'll only be a matter of time before the storm comes rolling back in.

With a sigh of relief, Tama climbs back onto the bed and curls up against Onandy's side, pressing her body flush with his. She feels so warm and safe in his embrace; it almost makes her want to cry from the contrast of emotions. "Thanks," she mumbles softly before closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, all the while knowing that this night is far from over.

Her heart races as they lie there together, both aware of the tension between them but unable to do anything about it.

The hours tick by slowly, and though Tama tries to pretend she's asleep, she can feel Onandy watching her out of the corner of his eye. It makes her heart race even faster, but it also gives her a strange sense of comfort. She wonders if he knows how she feels; if there's any chance that he might return these feelings one day.

Eventually, exhaustion gets the better of them and they both drift off into an uneasy sleep.

"Hmph." She grumbles and slowly sits up, rubbing her eyes "Fine, anything's fine. But don't expect me to help cook it." She crosses her arms again and pouts slightly as she waits for him to leave so she can hide back under the covers

Hmph. She huffs, still sitting up with her arms crossed I'm not sleepy anymore...So you don't have to worry about that. You should focus on your cooking and let me study in peace.
