“every time you walk in the room, you got all eyes on you, and you know it”
choso wouldn’t necessarily say you were popular, but you were someone everyone on campus knew. maybe it was because of your style, your charm, or the way you didn’t care what anyone thought, but you were well liked. he would frequently see you on campus, headphones on walking to class, or at his favorite boba shop on the weekends. you two were acquaintances at most. you bought from him twice when your dealer was out of town, followed him on instagram, and would wave to him if you saw him around, but that was the extent of your interactions. regardless, he was hooked (his brother yuji said it was a full on crush). you were just so effortlessly cool in everything you did, even your instagram was perfect. that’s what scared him though, how perfect and cool you were, because everyone else noticed this too.
he saw you a few times at some of the frat parties he attended, mainly to make some extra cash, and without a doubt there would be at least 5 guys trying to talk to you during the night. he had seen you reject plenty of them, but it still made his heart tense when he saw you talking to another guy. he felt ridiculous, worrying over a girl he wasn’t even dating. he didn’t have the right to be jealous when someone would check you out. regardless, it didn’t stop the way he felt, and despite this, he continued to go to parties in the hopes of seeing you.
tonight, the gojo twins frat was throwing, and choso had heard from yuji (who had heard from sukuna) that you were going to be there. he debated if he should go, to try and talk to you and maybe get your number, for hours. after much convincing from yuji, he decided he would at least go and hopefully talk to you. at an attempt of easing his nerves, he smoked a joint as he did his eyeliner and got ready, and half of another on his walk to the frat. by then, the party had already started an hour ago, and he prayed you were still there. at his arrival, he tucked the other half of the joint into an old mint container.
choso walked into the party, the smell of sweet and alcohol immediately flooding his senses. he winced at the sudden noise increase and pushed his way through the crowd of people by the door until he reached the living room. his eyes scanned the house for you, hoping he would find you dancing with your friends somewhere. after a few seconds, he spotted you.
fuck. you looked beautiful. your normal black eyeshadow now was accompanied by silver glitter that sparkled every time you moved to the song. and an eyebrow piercing? was that new? he noticed he had been staring for too long when your eyes met his gaze and you gave him a gentle smile. he looked away immediately, the high he felt from earlier was immediately gone and now replaced by embarrassment. his cheeks flushed at the realization he was caught admiring you and he pushed his way through the crowd to the door. he needed another joint. he escaped the crowded house and leaned against the brick of the building. he pulled out the container from before and pulled out the rest of his joint from earlier. he couldn’t believe he got caught staring, now you’re going to think he’s weird and not walk to talk to him or buy from him again. the moment replayed in his mind as he reached into his pocket for a lighter but felt nothing.
“fuck me… left it at home,” he grumbled, about to put the joint back in its box.
“need a light?” a voice asked, he looked towards the door he had just left out of and there you stood. he could fully see your outfit now, a black halter, tight jean skirt and fishnets. his breath hitched.
“uh- yeah- that would be great.” you approached him as he put the half between his lips. you lit it and then stood next to him on the wall. he didn’t know what to say, he didn’t want to talk too much, especially after what just happened. does he say anything? are you going to question him? what if-
“y’know since i helped you light that, i think i deserve a hit or two,” you said with a grin. he couldn’t say no and immediately passed it to you. he watched as you inhaled, then exhaled, mesmerized.
“this is good” you remarked, “is this new supply?”
choso nods, “i got it a week ago, i haven’t started selling it yet.”
“so you’re saying i’m getting an exclusive taste?” you joke. he just laughs lightly and nods. “i need to buy from you again. my other guys supply isn’t great, he just gives me really good deals.” his heart tightens at the thought of you buying from another guy and his mind wanders. did you smoke with him too? why did that guy give you such good deals? was he expecting something from you? did you guys-
you nudged choso’s arm and handed his joint back to him. he thanked you quietly and took a deep hit.
“i’m surprised you showed up tonight. i feel like i don’t see you at parties very often unless you’re selling.” choso’s heart quickened at the realization you noticed when he was and wasn’t at parties. he tried to shrug it off.
“i don’t need the extra cash right now, i just wanted to go out.” he was partially lying. he didn’t need extra money, but he mainly just wanted his focus to be on you and not selling for a night.
“are you having a good time?” you asked. he almost blushed.
“yeah. it’s not fully my thing but it’s fun.” now he was lying, he didn’t really find parties fun unless he was making money from it or seeing you. he’d rather a smoke session with his friends rather than a loud, crowded house full of drunk people bumping into each other. you just nodded “i get that. it’s only fun if you make it fun.” comfortable silence fell between you two, and he passed you the joint again.
“when did you get your eyebrow pierced?” he asked.
you grinned immediately, “like a month ago. i’ve wanted one for a while so i finally went for one. you inspired me a little bit.” now choso was definitely blushing, but he was hoping the street lamps didn’t illuminate his face well enough for you to see.
“i'm flattered," choso remarked with a small grin, "it-it looks great on you." he took a drag of the joint, hoping he seemed more nonchalant than he felt.
"thanks, i appreciate that" another comfortable silence fell between you two for a few seconds. "i really gotta go to the bathroom, i'm gonna head back inside. thanks for letting me have some of your exclusive supply," you joked. choso nodded, but he didn't want your conversation to end.
"i uh, know the gojo twins. if you dont want to wait in line downstairs i'm sure they will let you go to the upstairs bathroom. it's only fair since you gave me a light." was that too bold? he searched your face for a sign of disinterest, but he couldn't find one. instead you smiled again.
"yeah, if it's not too much trouble that would be great." perfect. this was his shot to actually flirt with you and maybe ask you out. he finished his joint, throwing the bud into a nearby trashcan and went back inside with you. the crowdedness of the party made it hard to leave space between you. he tried to keep a bit of distance to not make you feel uncomfortable, but it was basically impossible. sudden movements from the people around him caused him to stumble back slightly onto his chest. he led you to the stairs sukuna was guarding and gave him a nod.
"can you let y/n up to use the bathroom? lines too long down here." sukuna looked you both up and down, smirking slightly.
"is that what is going to happen up there?"
choso's eyes widened before he regained his composure. "yeah, just let her up." sukuna shrugged and moved so you could walk up the stairs, winking at you as he did. you turned back to choso.
"can you come with? i'm not sure where it is." you asked, and before sukuna could give you directions choso followed behind you. "of course i can." he led you up the stairs and to the bathroom, but you didn't enter. he looked at you, confused. "don't you have to go to the bathroom?"
you shook your head, "not really, i just wanted to get you alone somewhere that wasn't outside." choso froze and looked at you. you stared into his eyes and placed a hand on his chest.
"do you like me?" you asked, a small smirk lining your lips. he immediately blushed, despite his best attempts to remain composed all night. "w-what do you mean?"
you trailed your hand up his chest and down his arm, "you stare at me a lot. at the library, on the street, at parties," fuck, you had noticed his gaze after all. "just seems like you like me or something." choso didn't know what to say, he did like you but was he supposed to admit it? does this mean you were into him too? what could he reply with that wouldn't seem too desperate? you moved both arms around his neck and moved in closer. he could smell some of the joint on your breath, and he was sure you could smell it on his.
"i like you too, choso. you're nice and cool. plus you're pretty hot." he took a breath in at your words. were you serious? you continued you took at him, he felt like he was going to melt. "so? was i right?" all he could do was nod and breathe out a "yeah". you smiled at him and leaned in more, your lips centimeters apart.
"can i kiss you?" choso asked quietly. you nodded, "of course you can.”
he leaned in and kissed you. you moved your hands up to his hair and weaved your fingers between the strands. the cool metal from his lip piercings felt amazing on your lips and you pulled him in closer. he held in a quiet moan and put his hands on your hips. he couldn't believe this was happening. the kiss felt amazing and he never wanted it to ends. he went to pull you in more when-
"i knew thats what the two of you came up here to do," sukuna spoke. choso pulled away quickly and looked at him. he crossed his arms and shook his head. "lying to me. i knew it." you just looked in between choso and sukuna and let out a chuckle, "buuuusteddd."
