Live for me (Choso x Reader)

Pulling your weight ~ Ch47

(Y/n)'s Point Of View

"(Y/n), you're back!" Mahito grinned, watching as I entered the living room.
"Yeah, is Choso around?" I asked the room, seeing that nobody was present other than Mahito and my brother. I felt guilty for leaving Choso behind earlier. But when I felt Itadori's presence, I knew I had to try to talk to him. When coming home, I expected my brother to be elsewhere or at least if here present, I thought Mimiko and Nanako would be to. But no, they were nowhere in sight.

"He's in his bedroom, I believe." Geto replied, making me nod. I decided not to ask about Nanako and Mimiko's location right now, worried that I would blue like the answer he gave me. And so just as I was about to turn away and make my way towards Choso's bedroom, my brother began to speak up.
"So, little sister..." He began, a smirk on his lips as he spoke. I stopped walking, turning to face him with a hum to show that I was still here.

"What's this I'm hearing about courting?" Geto asked playfully, looking up at me with a cocky look in his eyes. I paused for a moment, wondering how he'd heard about that when he wasn't in the room. My eyes narrowed as I turned to look at Mahito who's eyes went wide.
"W-what? I didn't tell him!" He told me with his hands held up in defense. I glared at him, not believing a word he was saying.

"Somehow, I doubt that." I mumbled, making the curse scoff with offence.
"Hey! I really didn't this time!" Mahito whined, kicking him feet out like a child.
"Did you intend to hide this from me, little sister? You know that I have eyes and ears everywhere." My brother joked, still smirking. I huffed loudly.
"You said it yourself, Suguru. That you approved of Choso and that it didn't bother you." I told him pointedly.

"I guess that is true." Suguru sighed, leaning back on the couch in thought.
"Well, before you go back to your little boyfriend, there's something I'd like to ask of you." My brother then said, making me brows furrow as I stepped closer to him. What was that supposed to mean? If it were a mission, he'd say so, wouldn't he?

"Huh.. what do you need?" I asked him.
"As of recently, Mahito had been putting in a lot of effort to grasp the attention of the jujutsu sorcerers, and in addition, the attention of Ryomen Sukuna." Geto began, making my brows knot. Why was he telling me this? He never spoke to me about his plan before? Why now?
"Tomorrow, we believe a sorcerer will confront Mahito and attempt to expertise him. I'd like you to be there." Geto finished, making my mouth go dry.

"...w-which sorcerer?" I asked him hesitantly. Did it truly matter which sorcerer? I didn't want to fight any of them. That would solidify myself as their enemy- which I wasn't- even if that is what Satoru now viewed me as. Geto shrugged at my question casually.
"It could be Itadori, or kiyotaka. Or even Nanami. There's no way of knowing." He replied, goosebumps trailing down my arms as I gulped.

"Am I... allowed to refuse?" I asked my brother slowly, wondering if this would make him angry at all. He simply sighed.
"You could..." He began deceivingly, making me sigh in pure relief. "But, (Y/n)... You need to start pulling your weight somehow. One way or another. You promised me you would." I bit the inside of my inside of my cheeks with an obvious frown after my brother spoke, making me look down at my trembling fingers that I tried to hide behind the material of my clothing.

"Okay... I'll go." I forced myself to whisper, fear gnawing at my chest. I didn't like this. I didn't like this one bit.  Suguru smiled the moment I gave in, pride taking over his features that made me feel the slightest bit better.
"Wonderful. I knew you'd make the right choice." He praised, making me nod slowly. I didn't look up at him, staring at my feet with self-loath.

"Now, don't keep Choso waiting." Geto grinned, dismissing her with his fingers. I numbly nodded, not sparing with him or Mahito another look as I shakily made my way out of the living room and into the corridor. I leaned on the walls immediately as I walked down to Choso's door. I was going to fight a jujustu sorcerer tomorrow. I would officially become an enemy. All I could feel was dread. Fear.

I entered Choso's room without knocking, instantly seeing him standing by his window. I closed the door behind me, making him turn around at the house or someone entering.
"It's you. I thought Eso-" I cut him off as I quickly ran over to him as launched myself into his chest, wrapping my arms around his neck and burying my face in his chest.

He tensed at my sudden contact but immediately, untensed and hugged me back. I clenched my eyes as tightly shut as possible, holding back tears because God knows I've cried enough these past two days. Anxiety washed over me like wages, getting stronger the more I held back my cries, practically not breathing.
"(Y/n)..." Choso muttered out in confusion, seeming to understand that something was wrong. I shook my head, refusing to explain for now.

"Can we just stay like this for a little longer... please?" I whispered, drowning myself in his comfort and scent. I could feel him looking down at me after I'd spoke, and then again as he began to nod slowly. It was amazing how understanding he was of me. How much shit he put up with all because of a few broken pieces that I never was able to glue back onto myself. Choso then whispered,

"I'll hold you for as long as you want me to... whatever you need."

(A.N ~ A lot of people have been contacting me about if I have an update schedule so I thought I'd just let you all know here. I do not have a schedule, in fact updates will get slower for this book and other books only because university has started again, I'm attending a language school on my free day and I also have started a new job. My life is absolutely crazy right now. So please forgive the slow updates. I love you all.)
