Fighting for his heart [Choso X OC]

~9 : Eso's crush~

At lunch break, Fumiko catched Choso spending some alone time with Yuki as they talked and laughed a bit -well, the blonde was the one laughing. 

She sighed, annoyed. She didn't want to miss an opportunity talking to Choso, but she wouldn't want to bother him.

She saw Eso looking at people in the corridors. He seemed nervous.

She approached him from behind and managed to surprise him, which made her laugh.

"Hey Eso ! What's up ?"

"Fumiko, I didn't see you coming... A bit like my idea to make Choso and you closer, I guess !"

She chuckled.

"You nearly made us catch a cold... Did you at least turn the heating back on ?"

He nodded.

"How was it, spending hours next to my brother ?"

"Incredible, obviously... And his sweatshirt felt so warm...."

"Did you at least manage to focus or did you just look at his chest for a while ?"

She blushed a bit.

"Both", she admitted. "He surely has a really hot body..."

"Like the room you were in !" he laughed back.

She sighed and looked around to see who he was spying on before.

"Who were you watching before ?" she finally asked.

Eso blushed a little, and cutely turned away.

"Nobody..."

"Come on, you can tell me, after all I told you about my love for your brother..."

The man sighed as his gaze was caught by a blonde man who was talking with friends.

"I was looking at him..." he said as he briefly showed her the man. "He's in my class, and I find it... attractive, don't you think ?'

She looked at him for a few seconds.

"Your brother's better..."

He sighed as he gave her a side eye.

"I know you love him, but please focus.... There's no Choso here, I love this man, do you realise it ?"

She chuckled a bit and pat his head.

"You have good taste, don't worry..." she answered as she gave him a reassuring smile.

Eso sighed. He seemed more and more nervous.

"What can I do now ?..." he asked in a shivering voice.

"Well, not like me and Yuki, you don't have anyone trying to steal the man you love, so... Why don't you just talk to him ?"

"You mean, confess my feelings ?"

"Perhaps, or maybe just see if you get along well when you speak !"

"He... He won't listen, and he's speaking with someone !"

"This "someone" just left... Go, take your chance !"

He smiled a bit as he tilted his head.

"Yeah... I guess you're right. I'm going, then ! Wish me luck !"

"You don't need it, man !"

He chuckled and turned his back to walk towards his crush. He managed to talk to him. The conversation went well, and the man accepted to go on a date with him.

He came back to Fumiko with a wide smile.

"Girl, I did it !!" he yelled. "He invited me to hang out with him tonight !"

Fumiko semmed pleased as she heard these good news.

"I told you you got it, man ! You're the best !"

He laughed a bit.

"Now, just put on something good and talk as you usually do, stay yourself !" she exclaimed. "He will fall for you !"

Eso smiled as he felt an intense pride in his heart. He talked to him ! He even managed to confess, and got a date !

"Come on, let's tell your brothers about it !" she advised. "Well, if you want..."

"Of course I do ! We share everything ! By the way ...."

He leaned towards her and gave her a teasing look.

"Next person to get a date will be you, with Choso, I hope !"

She laughed.

"Why do you want your brother to love me so much ?" she asked in an amused voice.

"Maybe because I like seing you around !" he uttered. "You're kind, you take care of people you love, you act as yourself, without trying to change a little bit for others... Girl, you're amazing ! Of course I'd like you to be my sister-in-law !"

She blushed a bit as she thought about it. She'd love to be a part of their group as Choso's girlfriend... The man was si soft to others, he made her heart melt !

They came back to talk without Yuki and Choso's brothers, allowing Fumiko to get to see her crush again, without the blonde trying to steal him.
