Live for me (Choso x Reader)

Light ~ Ch25

3rd Point Of View

A sneeze broke the silence as everyone piled into the living room, making everyone turn to (Y/n) who's black hair was still wet and sticking to the sides of her face. She averted her eyes to the floor with embarrassment, sniffling as quietly as she could, Mahito joining her.
"(Y/n), it was reckless to go into the water on a cold night like tonight. Now you've caught a cold." Geto scolded, Mahito sneezing loudly behind him, which made the man scoff.

"And Mahito, you're a cursed spirit. You can't catch colds. Stop sniffling." Suguru hissed, making Mahito pout childishly.
"Aw, but I felt left out!" The curse complained, making Suguru roll his eyes. (Y/n) glared at the stitched curse, making him stick his tongue out.
"Anyway, (Y/n), get some rest. We'll talk more tomorrow about that issue on tonight's mission." Suguru promised, (Y/n) nodding with a small sigh.

(Y/n) sneezed one more time as everyone began splitting off, Kechizu manically running down the corridor and Eso following behind him. (Y/n) waited a few seconds before following after them in order not to see Eso's back. As the girl walked down the corridor, she realised that someone was walking at the same pace a few steps behind her. Turning around, she came face to face with Choso.

"Why are you following me? Your room is that way." (Y/n) asked with pure confusion, motioning over towards the end of the hall where Choso's room was, which they had already walked past.
"You agreed that I'd assist you in falling asleep." Choso told the girl, making her pause. She would be lying if she said that she hadn't forgotten that certain agreement.

"I did...didn't I? I forgot all about that..." She admitted slowly before gulping, her eyes flickering back to her bedroom door. She opened it hesitantly, her eyes flickering back to Choso who stood in that same spot in the hallway.
"Uh- okay...right then. Come on in, I guess?" (Y/n) invited awkwardly, scratching the back of her head sheepishly as she moved to the side and allowed Choso to step inside.

He stood in the middle of the room with a blank gaze, not knowing what to do with himself now that he was inside. (Y/n) noticed and sighed as she walked in behind him, leaving the door open.
"Choso- look, you don't have to do this. I know you're not very good at communicating, so you may not know how to tell me that you don't actually want to do thi-" Choso cut the girl off when he realised which direction she was heading with her rambles.

"I want to help you sleep- naturally, without those flowers." Choso told the girl, making her eyes widen at the sincerity in his eyes. She hadn't realised that he cared so much. But even so, it wasn't as simple as he thought it to be.
"Choso...I trust you- I really do. But for you to be able to help me fall asleep...it would involve...well, intimacy." The girl tried to explain, looking everywhere but his eyes.

"And I'm afraid that you just might not be that type of guy..." She admitted to him.
"Type of guy?" He echoed out.
"You know...the type of guy that's comfortable with cuddling with a girl in bed." The Geto sister explained softly, making Choso pause. No, he hadn't realised that he would be cuddling the girl to sleep. He just assumed that he could sit beside her and wait.

"Did Gojo do that with you? Everynight?" Choso then found himself asking. He wasn't sure why that popped into his head or what brought it on but he was desperate to find out the answer.
"Yes, but-" Again, he cut off (Y/n).
"I will do it." He told her confidently, stern and stubborn as he could be. (Y/n)'s eyes then widened, suprise taking over her face. Did he say that because he was jealous...of Gojo?

Before (Y/n) could force herself to say anything, Choso leaned down and slid off his boots before walking towards the bed and sliding himself under the covers. He then sat up, his legs elongated under the covers and his back leaning against the head rest. He let his hands perch ontop of the covers, fiddling with his fingers with anxiety. (Y/n) couldn't help but giggle after seeing him make himself comfortable on her bed.

"You're really set on this?" The girl asked with an amused smile, crossing her arms over her chest as Choso nodded quietly. She sighed before nodding, finally agreeing with the plan.
"And if you're uncomfortable, you'll tell me, right?" The Geto sister asked pointedly, waving a finger at him. Once again, Choso nodded.

(Y/n) pursed her lips as she nodded  again to herself.
"Fine. Let me get changed, then." She agreed, slipping off her shoes and walking over to the wardrobe where she picked out some shorts and an oversized black shirt. Then she made her way to the bathroom to get changed, leaving Choso by himself in her room, waiting patiently waiting.

He spaced out the whole time that she was in the bathroom, only snapping out of it when he heard the sound of the door handle again when she opened the door and stepped out. Her hair was now collected into a low pony tail, a few strands still out, framing the sides of her face. Her black oversized shirt seemed to be some sort of merch of a three membered band, he guessed it was a band by the pictures of a boy with braids holding a mic, a boy with a guitar and the other on drums.

Choso couldn't help but gulp quietly as he is eyes flickered over her form, finding her natural beauty unmatched. As (Y/n) stepped towards the bed, she hesitated, now getting shy as she realised that she would be getting into the same bed as him...cuddling.
"I'm gonna...get in now." She announced shyly as she peeled the covers off her side of the bed.

Choso froze still as (Y/n) slipped under the covers beside him, unable think about anything other than the fact that she was laying right beside him.
"Are you going to sleep too?" The girl asked him softly, hoping that he would also sleep alongside her.
"No." Choso told her stoically.
"And there's nothing I can say to change you're mind?" The girl then asked hopefully, making the man shake his head. (Y/n) sighed, giving in to him.

"Okay, can I-uh...lay on you?" (Y/n) then asked shyly, her face blushing pink. Choso also blushed, nodding slowly. Since he was sat up, (Y/n) opted on laying her head on his lap rather than his chest as she used to do with Gojo. Choso lifted his arm so that the girl could get closer, allowing her to then wrap her arm over his hips, leaning her head on his thigh. She pretended not to notice how he tensed. When she finally got comfortable, Choso hesitantly layed his left hand on her lower back, not knowing what to else do with it.

After they both finalised their positions, (Y/n) couldn't help but let out a little giggle to herself, confusing Choso.
"What is it?" Choso asked her, making her smile softly, her eyes becoming droopy with tiredness.
"Nothing...I just haven't felt this way in a long time." She admitted softly.

"Thank you, Choso..." She added, her eyes becoming heavy as she inhaled the man's scent. Choso watched her fall sleep with hooded eyes, his heart fluttering uncontrollably as he slowly pushed the hair out of her eyes. Choso then waited untill he was certain that she was asleep to speak up.
"No...I should thank you. With you, my life seems to be brighter. " He whispered out before continuing to admit,

"I think...you are my light."
