Late TamaNeji Week Day 7: Free Day
After Class
Tamaki Amajiki was laying down in his room, completely mortified at his performance in front of the first years in Class 1A. He was on his bed, looking on his phone, playing a puzzle game trying to forget about his embarrassment. While he was staring at his phone, his new girlfriend, Nejire Hado, walked into his room and sat on his bed right next to him.
“Hey, Tamaki! How’re you feeling?” Nejire asked.
“Not really good, Nejire,” Tamaki answered, not looking up from his phone. Nejire sighs, and takes the phone out of Tamaki’s hand.
“Is it about what happened with Class 1A?” Nejire asked. Tamaki nodded, and Nejire started running her right hand through his hair. “Awww…you tried your best Tamaki. I saw the way you were looking at the freshman, and I consider that an improvement,” Nejire said with a smile on her face.
“What do you mean? I only stared at them like that because you told me that imagining them as potatoes would make it easier for me to speak to them, and it didn’t work so I just spent the whole time staring at a wall,” Tamaki countered, looking away from Nejire, causing her hand to slip away from his head. Nejire sighed before she put both her hands on his cheeks, making Tamaki focus on her.
“Listen to me Tamaki; you are making some progress with your social anxiety. Yeah, maybe my advice didn’t work for you, but you still managed to maintain eye contact with an entire classroom full of people. I remember when you couldn’t even look a stranger in the eye, much less a group of people, and that’s progress. You still have a long way to go, but that’s OK. Stuff like this takes time, and you shouldn’t feel bad that you haven’t gotten the hang of public speaking just yet. And I will be there with you the entire time,” Nejire soliloquized in an unusually serious tone, while Tamaki was looking at her with sparkles in his eyes before he gave a kiss to Nejire’s forehead.
“Thank you Nejire, I really appreciate it,” was all that Tamaki could say before he gave a hug to Nejire who returned the hug with great vigor.
“Of course. What kind of girlfriend would I be if I let my boyfriend sulk around all day,” Nejire responded, giving Tamaki a peck on the lips before she laid down on Tamaki’s bed and snuggled with him.
