“Hey I just wanted to let you know my brother is going to be staying with me for a bit.” Yuji prefaced as you walked up to his apartment.
“A brother? We’ve been friends for years. Yuji, I didn't even know you had a brother.” You laughed as he unlocked the door.
“Long story.” He sighed, opening up the door. There sat on the couch was what you had assumed was his brother. The exact opposite of Yuji, dark hair wrapped into messy space buns, markings on his face, and a strange outfit to top it off. They didn’t even look related, but who were you to question that. Yuji’s brother was basically staring holes through you at this point not saying a single word. Yuji glances over at him “Choso this is (Y/N). She’s been my friend for a lot of years.”
He nods like he’s trying to analyze you, “Nice to meet you.”
You nodded, smiling, trying to do anything to break this tension between the two of you. “Nice to meet you too, Choso.”
Something in the way you smiled at him made him feel somewhat strange, he just stood there not really able to think of anything else to say. You looked down at your feet nervous that this man was just eyeballing you. Yuji broke the silence
“So I’m gonna order some pizza for tonight? Sounds good?” He turned his attention towards you
“Yeah, that sounds great, Yuji.” You watched as he went on his phone to order it
“Why don’t you pick a movie?” Yuji asked while he was focusing. You nodded sitting on the opposite end of the couch from Choso.
“Are you going to watch the movie too?” You asked, anything to make small talk with the man. He nods while you pull up a random streaming app “what kinds of movies do you like?” You asked, doing anything to make this less awkward.
“Never really watched them.” He leans back.
“Hmm.” You thought “do you like to laugh, cry, be scared, or like romantic stuff?” Trying to narrow down something you thought he might like. He sat thinking for a moment before responding “What’s romantic stuff?”
You sighed, just how dense is this guy? Wondering how to phrase it. You finally figured it out “Kinda like guy meets girl kinda stuff. Yuji usually isn’t into it, but I like it.”
He sat, still highly confused “don’t guys meet girls all the time?”
You giggled wondering what planet he came from “like when a guy meets a girl, and they fall in love.”
He looked even more confused “love?”
Dumbfounded you shook your head “alright it’s settled then. I’m picking a romantic movie, we will tell Yuji we both want to watch it.” Choso nodded his head in agreement. Yuji came back into the room about five minutes after, seeing the movie you chose “another romance? Come on (Y/N).” He groaned, glancing over at you.
“Choso also wants to watch it.” You pouted slightly.
Yuji glanced over at Choso who nodded “yeah, I’m interested.”
“Fine. We will watch the stupid romance movie.” Yuji plopped in the middle of the couch while you turned it on. The beginning was slow and steady, you were already falling in love with the characters story, Yuji was already over it, Choso on the other hand was sitting there in pure amazement. He had never seen anything like this. Two people coming together to make something so beautiful. It could’ve brought tears to his eyes, and it did. The doorbell rang eventually breaking Choso away from the movie making up jump up “an intruder.”
Yuji shook his head “No Choso. I told you every time the doorbell rings doesn’t mean it’s always a bad person. It’s probably just the pizza.”
You got up to open the door, Choso watched intently just in case it was an intruder. You smiled, taking the pizza and bringing it to the coffee table.
“I’m starving.” Yuji admits grabbing the paper plate and placing three slices on it. You took two, and Choso took some as well. Continuing the movie Choso was so captivated by the two characters, unable to even look away to take a bite of pizza. His eyes were being opened by this movie, to another world of opportunity that he’d never even fathomed existed. Sure he’d seen people holding hands before, but he assumed it was probably just human nature by design. After being awoken he’d been so manipulated that nothing else could penetrate his mind other than the evils that lived in the world. He knew that Yuji was his brother and felt that connection, but other than that nothing else really mattered. The movie ended, and you were passed out on the couch. Yuji was half awake, Choso had tears slipping out of his eyes. He was angry, angry at himself for not allowing his eyes to be opened to the beauty of the world. Disappointed at this point for only allowing the bad to plague his mind.
“Is love a beautiful thing?” Choso looked down at his hands.
“It can be.” Yuji shrugged “I have yet to see that side, but yeah.”
Choso nods, looking down at his hands. Yuji laughed looking over at you completely passed out.
“She always claims she wants to watch these movies but falls asleep right after she eats.”
Choso glanced over seeing the remnants of grease on the sides of your lips. He smiled softly.
“She’s really nice Yuji. One of the good people?”
Yuji nods “one of the best people.”
Choso thought for a second “do you love her?”
Yuji thought on how to phrase it “I love her like a sister. Not a romantic partner.”
With that statement Choso became confused again “but she’s not your sister.”
Yuji nods “yeah, but we grew up together. We don’t have any romantic feelings towards each other. It’s just a similar feeling. Like how you protect me.”
Choso understands nodding his head. Yuji tapped your shoulder “(Y/N)?” You groaned slightly, swatting his hand away.
“(Y/N) wake up sleepy head.” Yuji tried again. You were too comfortable on the couch to even think about getting up. Yuji sighed “I guess she’s crashing here tonight. I’m heading to bed.”
Yuji walks over to the closet pulling a blanket out draping it over you while you slept. He handed Choso the tv remote “here, you can watch some more movies if you’d like. She isn’t going to be bothered.”
Choso nods while Yuji leaves the room, closing his bedroom door. He scrolled through the movies for a bit before settling on one called ‘The Notebook’. Choso became instantly captivated by the story, not being able to stifle his sobs by the end of the movie. You slightly woke up by the sounds of his crying
“Huh? Movie over?” You sat up confused.
Choso wiped his eyes trying to not let you see him crying “uh, yeah.”
You nodded, noticing his puffy eyes “are you alright?”
Choso nodded “I just watched this movie called the notebook.”
You slowly placed a hand on his shoulder “yeah that movie always makes me cry too. Do you need a hug? Always helps me when I’m sad.”
“I’ve never had one before. What is that?” Choso looked almost scared.
“Here.” You opened your arms hugging him softly for a moment “feeling any better?”
You let go resting your head back on the pillow on the couch. “I’m going to try and get some more rest.”
He nods as your eyes slowly begin to close again, soft snores omitting from your mouth. Choso couldn’t help but stare at you from across the couch. Not meeting someone like you in his entire life, he wondered why you were naturally so nice to him. Attempting to push those thoughts he watched you for a little longer before retiring to his room. Laying in bed staring at the ceiling trying to make sense of what was going on in his mind. He groaned, attempting to finally try and fall asleep, but couldn’t stop thinking about how warm you made him feel when you hugged him. How you weren’t scared of him, and why that was. Eventually he fell asleep right before the sun came up hugging his pillow tightly.
