3rd Point Of View

"Are...you okay?" Choso asked (Y/n), concern laced in his voice when (Y/n) finally pulled away, her hair covering her eyes as she looked down at her feet, not even brave enough to look up.
"Yeah." She lied, her voice weaker than a whisper. Choso didn't understand. He put so much effort into helping her smile this morning. She met this Junpei kid and came back happy. They had a lovely walk through the park and everything was okay. So why? Why did it seem like he was at square one again?

(Y/n) forced her hands off Choso, standing a few feet back. Choso hated the space. He absolutely hated how it felt to not have (Y/n) in his arms.
"I'm sorry...I know you're not a fan of physical contact." She whispered in apology, making Choso's brows furrow. Is that something she genuinely believed? Still? Even when he slept beside her at night with no objections?

"I am a fan." Choso said to her confidently, making her look up at him with furrowed brows.
"What?" (Y/n) then asked, surprised.
"With you. Physical contact isn't something I shy away from. I crave it." Choso admitted slowly, making the girl's cheeks turn red. (Y/n) smiled softly, shaking her head with amused disbelief.
"You and your words." She whispered, her heart racing.

"Will you tell me...what just now was all about? Something is bothering you. I wish to help." Choso told the girl, taking a step closer because he didn't like the gap that separated them.
"I...it was my brother." The girl admitted, knowing that she'd feel better if she just spoke about it to Choso. Choso's brows knotted. Geto was the one that was bothering her? Did he make another move? Didn't he tell Jogo to come to him with new information every time Geto wanted to make a move?

"Your brother? What did he do?" Choso asked the girl curiously.
"Well...I already told you earlier that I wanted as little involvement with his schemes as possible, right?" She started, making Choso nod.
"Well, with every day that passes he keeps fucking that up." She whispered with a sigh, moving to sit back on Choso's bed.

"What happened?" Choso asked her again, ignoring the answer that resonated within his chest. Depending on her next words, would decide the answer to the question 'Will Jogo survive to see tomorrow morning?'.
"He's making me go on a mission with Mahito tomorrow..." (Y/n) told him. This made something click within Choso. That was right. He remembered this part of Geto's plan. But Geto did not mention that Mahito would need a partner. And Choso hated him for misleading him like that.

"To battle a sorcerer." Choso mumbled, finishing off (Y/n)'s sentence without even thinking twice about it.
"You know?" (Y/n) asked him, her eyes filled with suprise that she knows she probably shouldn't feel.
"I told you. I know far more than you think." Choso replied, making her sigh. She then groaned loudly before flipping back against Choso's bed. Choso pursed his lips as he sat down beside her on the edge of the bed, his eyes locked on her stressed form.

"Are you worried it will be Gojo?" Choso found himself asking, curious but also feeling something more bitter that he couldn't exactly explain.
"No, I doubt it will be him. It's not the kind of mission they'd give someone as strong as him." She told Choso, making him relieved. "They'd give this mission to a student or two- maybe even Nanami or Kiyotaka depending on how big of a threat they see Mahito as."

"If it's one of those two... then they'll see me with Mahito. They'll officially see me as an enemy. Their aim will to be to kill." (Y/n) whispered numbly, making Choso's brows furrow. Is she worried about how the sorcerers will view her or if they'll manage to kill her. Choso decided to mention the latter.
"You're the strongest sorcerer in the world." Choso told her, as if he were reminding her of her strength. It wasn't the reminder she needed.
