Hoshi was starstrucked.

Standing in front of her door was satoru gojo, two boxes of chocolates she never knew existed at this time yet in his hands, his glasses missing in action.

His eyes were literally glowing, and the girl found herself flipping again.

He looked surreal.

"Look what i got you, hoshi!" satoru raises his hands, showcasing the boxes like a kid with the widest grin his lips could stretch into.

He felt tired, but that didn't matter at all.

"Where did you get these?"

"Kyoto. I was looking for something to bring home to you, and I remembered you mentioning this."

The girl couldn't hide her smile anymore.

"Thanks, satoru." she felt herself melting, appreciating the gesture she didn't know or expect satoru would do for her.

"So are you going to invite me in or would you rather enjoy these babies alone?"

Satoru didn't mean any malice in his words. He was genuinely asking her to spend time with him, the fact that it was almost midnight not even processing in his mind.

He just wanted the sweets.

"Are you serious?"

Hoshi didn't know what to answer. The fact that satoru was a playboy at this time in his life, she didn't know what to expect of him.

He was an entirely different person she has yet to know.

"Mhm! I didn't get desserts when i ate dinner earlier. I really really wanted to try these, but there were only two boxes left at the store, and we were running late," the boy in question shrugged innocently.

Contemplating for a few seconds, hoshi sighed lightly before pushing her door wider, satoru's eyes lighting up.

To satoru, it meant she trusted him more than she did when they first met. But to hoshi, she saw this as an opportunity to get to know him better.

They sat on the two seater couch in front of the tv. While hoshi was arranging her things, satoru's eyes wandered around the room.

There were paintings on the wall, and he immediately knew it was the one she had been working on whenever she was left at the school. Most furniture were feminine colors; pink, purple, yellow, anything pastel.

"I was actually about to watch a movie," hoshi mentions, turning on the TV.

Satoru scoffs at the sight in front of him. "You're watching Disney or something? Why am I watching cartoons?"

"Would you rather leave?" the girl gave the boy a side eye, glaring at him subtly.

"Of course not! I loooove disney," the boy exaggerates, trying his best to be on the girl in front of him.

"It's not disney. Ever heard of Studio ghibli? They make the best comfort movies."

The pale blonde head ripped the packaging, shoving a piece on her mouth before getting another one to feed the diamond-eyed boy who accepted it gratefully.

"It's amazing!" satoru exclaimed while hoshi couldn't care less, waiting for the scene where howl would appear like a dream.

"I've been looking for you, darling."

Hoshi couldn't help but smile with love in her eyes. Howl was such a classic, and it gave her comfort seeing how good he treats sophie.

Satoru was surprised to see a new side of hoshi. She looked adorable, containing her squeals, sometimes bumping into his shoulder when her heart couldn't handle it anymore.

And it did.

"That's my girl."

"Fuck!" hoshi shouted out, covering her burning face.

"You like him, huh?" satoru mused, sliding his arms on the back of the backrest on hoshi's side.

"You don't understand how much i love ghibli boys." the girl shook her head, removing her hands from her burnt out cheeks, the evidence of how flustered she was because of a cartoon character.

"You think we could do this again?"

"Sure thing."

At her reply, the white haired boy dropped his arm, landing on hoshi's shoulder as he felt her tense up, but kept quiet. He assumed she was just watching 'the love of her life' from the screen.

But no, she wasn't. She wanted to take the once in a lifetime opportunity to cuddle with the one and only gojo satoru. She knew moments like these wouldn't come out anymore, so why not?

The sudden thump on satoru's chest made him blink.

This girl was so bold if she wanted to, it made satoru scared for his life.

So he decided to just shrug it off and sunk into the couch deeper, laying his head on the back rest so both hoshi and him would be more comfortable, the box of chocolates long forgotten as the night progressed.
