You and Choso are good friends and both live at Jujutsu high as you share ācustodyā of Yuji.
One night Choso has a nightmare and instantly thinks of you and how comforting you are to him, and so he crawls out of his bed and shuffles down the hall to your room.
He quietly opens the door and stands in the doorway for a moment, observing how peaceful and deep you seem to be in sleep.
His heart breaks at the thought of accidentally waking you, but heās too scared to go back to his room and the nightmares that linger there.
So he decides to gently crawl onto the bed and lay on the covers, careful not to bother you as he settles down.
He does briefly consider how you might react, but then his mind flashes to the curse in his dreams and he guiltily settles down to sleep.
Heās curled up next to your side, just barely resting his head on your arm.
He almost instantly falls asleep in your company, finding your existence and closeness alone to be all the comfort he needs.
You wake up first, and almost immediately tense at the sound of someone lightly snoring beside you.
You glance over and your eyes fall onto Chosoās face, which is scrunched up in a dream as he sleeps.
Your cheeks warm at the sight, but you quickly notice his shaking body.
Heād slept without any covers, just his clothes, and your massive fan is blowing harsh, cold air right at him.
You attempt to get up to grab him a blanket, but a hand grips onto your arm as you move.
You look down and watch as Choso yawns and opens his eyes, his cheeks heating immediately when he realizes heās been caught.
āY/n!ā he says quickly, scrambling to push himself up. āI-I didnāt- Iām sor- I just-ā
āChoso,ā you say, gently resting a hand on his arm, āitās okay. Iām not mad, okay? Did something happen?ā
Choso sighs briefly, looking down and fidgeting with the sheets below him before slowly nodding.
āCan you tell me so I can try to help?ā
āI justā¦had a bad dreamā¦ā he replies, embarrassment flooding his features.
āIām sorry,ā you say, giving him a soft smile. āItās not quite morning yet, why donāt you slip under the sheets and get some more rest, okay?ā
Choso nods but hesitates, his eyes staying stuck on the sheets.
āWill you stay?ā he blurts out, more heat flooding his face. āIā¦you comfort me.ā
You let a small smile come to your lips as you nod, patting the bed beside you for him to slip under and lay down.
Choso does so quickly, instantly finding relief from the cold fan as he lets the layers of sheets and blankets fall on him.
You lay down yourself and turn to face him, and he does the same to face you with a shy smile.
āTh-thank you,ā he replies softly, his eyelids already drooping as another yawn comes over him.
āOf course, Choso. Iāll do anything I can to help you.ā
More heat comes to his cheeks as he nods, and he looks into your eyes as you nervously bite your lip.
āCan Iā¦cuddle you?ā you ask quietly, and his eyes widen as his mouth drops open slightly, but he quickly nods his head and lifts an arm up invitingly.
āThank you,ā you reply, taking a deep breath as you settle in, snuggled up against his chest.
āAnything for you,ā he replies, nuzzling his cheek against the top of your head.
You smile at his action before moving your head to look at him.
Chosoās brows furrow in confusion as you bite your lip again, a shy smile on your lips now.
You slip a hand up to cup his cheek, grazing your thumb over the soft skin there as you look into his eyes.
āI like you, Choso,ā you say, giving him a tired smile.
He blinks rapidly before lifting a hand and pinching his shoulder.
Your brows furrow this time, confused as to why he did that.
āY/n,ā he says slowly, eyes nervously scanning your features, āthis isnāt another dream that Iām going to wake up from, is it?ā
āA dream?ā you question, propping yourself up on an elbow to better look at him. āWhy would you think this is a dream?ā
āB-becauseā¦ā he says, words trailing from his lips as he glances down. āWell, I justā¦I like you. A lot. A-and Iāve wanted to hold you like this for a long time now. A-and I neverā¦well I didnāt expect you to like someoneā¦like meā¦ā
āOh, Choso,ā you say, your thumb stroking his cheek again, āyouāre the most amazing person Iāve ever met. And if you give me a chance, Iām sure Iāll fall in love with youā¦more than I already am.ā
Chosoās eyes widen at your words, and he reaches out his hand to mimic you and cup your cheek.
You lean into his palm, slowly closing your eyes with a sigh and content smile gracing your lips.
Choso swallows hard, whispering your name out to get your attention.
When you look at him, heās glancing down and nervously tapping his fingers on the bed.
āC-can I kiss you?ā he asks, his words barely audible with the noise of the fan and how quiet he spoke.
Your cheeks warm again but you reach out and touch the bottom of his chin with two fingers, a smile resting on your lips.
āI would love that, Choso,ā you reply, and he blinks a few times, letting your answer register before he cautiously moves forward, capturing your lips with his.
You feel him melt into the kiss, and you resist the urge to smile, not wanting to break the moment.
Heās gentle, cautious, and loving with the way he kisses you, and you canāt imagine anything or anyone more perfect than him.
When you pull back, his eyes are filled with love and adoration, and complete shock that he actually got to kiss you, his crush.
You giggle slightly and give him another quick peck before kissing his nose, after which you snuggle back into his chest as he slowly wraps his arms back around you.
āI-I think I love you, y/n,ā he whispers, resting his cheek back on your head.
āI think I love you too, Choso,ā you reply, āIāve liked you for long enough that itās probably evolved to that level.ā
āI think I fell in love with you when I first laid eyes on you,ā he says, and you nuzzle your nose into his chest, taking another deep breath and letting his scent envelop you.
āI think I did too,ā you reply before falling back asleep.
