IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE? || CHOSO KAMO ||

CHAPTER II.IV
————————————————————

THE AIR WAS DEAD STILL IN MY SHARED APARTMENT, and it haunted me.

I showered by myself, and regardless of how hot the water was, it still felt cold against my skin.

I got changed while sitting on my and Suguru's bed, and I watched the sun set beyond the horizon out of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

I stood in front of my dressing table, spraying perfume on myself and fixing my appearance until I felt presentable enough.

My phone buzzed on the kitchen counter and I sped walked towards it in order to get to it as quickly as possible.

I saw that Choso had sent me his address tied with a sweet message at the end of it that read:

- I hope you can make it, seeing you again has really made a difference in my life.

I smiled softly at the text and tried my hardest to not show too much emotion over it, but in reality, this simple message meant everything to me.

I finished getting ready with a warm feeling in my chest and soon enough was out of my door and in my car driving to his house.

I thought about him, reminiscing over the short amount of time that I actually did spend with him and wondered why it affected me so much even though he was probably in my life for about a month.

After a short drive, I parked and exited my car and was met with a small cottage-like house meant for one resident.

I walked up to the front door nervously and knocked softly, not wanting to make a loud noise.

I heard footsteps approach the door and I backed away in order to give him space to open it and greet me.

I was met with a sight so unfamiliar that once my eyes laid on it again I remembered all the moments that we shared that he looked like this.

He wore his hair down, something that was such a rare sight back when we were seeing each other back when we were younger.

"I'm glad my carrier pigeon got back to you." he suddenly brought me into his arms and I accepted, exhaling harshly because I finally felt at peace.

"Am I allowed to say that I missed you?" I poked my head up and looked at him with a timid smile.

"I thought about you every single day after you left." he stroked my cheek and moved the hair from my face.

"So did I, however, I was too afraid to admit it." I was ashamed of speaking the truth.

"Let's go inside." he let me walk in first and closed the door behind him.

I looked around, and part of me believed that he was renting this cottage because of the decoration that didn't remind me of him.

"I was thinking of ordering out, are you okay with that?" he asked and I nodded in approval.

"I'm more than happy with that." I placed my bag on the couch nearby and watched Choso walk off to the kitchen.

"I'm glad, we can call in a bit. Would you like something to drink?" he searched the fridge.

"Anything is fine." I chuckled and he pulled out a bottle from the side compartment.

"I have red wine, how does that sound?" he showed it to me and I nodded.

"Perfect." I smiled while sitting around the counter next to him as he poured two-quarter glasses of an expensive-looking wine.

"Have you been speaking to anybody from your university since you left?" he swayed his glass before smelling it.

"I lost any form of social circle after that summer holiday at your family house." I bit the inside of my cheek, realising how lonely I sounded.

"What about Geto's friends?" he asked out of curiosity.

"Sure, I speak to them at gatherings but they weren't my friends before that." I chuckled.

"I get that. I'm sorry about you and Yuji." he brought up a topic that was once sensitive to me.

"Please don't be. I made a mistake by lying to him and I've accepted that." I played it off and admitted how I felt about it.

"You didn't make a mistake by hooking up with me?" he let out a chuckle.

"I wouldn't say so, and I hope that one day I can get closure from him." my heart stung as I thought of Itadori.

"I always thought that you saw me as a mistake." Choso looked at ease and much more comfortable with me.

"The only mistake that I made was lying about it and trying to get away with it." I squeezed his hand.

"I feel better about all of it now. I understand that we were all angry at each other, and I thought that there wouldn't be any second chances." he shook his head with a laugh.

"Everyone deserves a second chance if they're worthy of redemption." I looked away, trying to avoid eye contact.

"Do you think we are worthy of redemption?" he made me face him and he got closer to me.

"It wouldn't hurt to try again, would it?" I asked with a smile while the tips of our noses touched.

"It wouldn't," he spoke softly and closed the distance between us with a kiss.

A kiss that I had yearned for years.
From the person I wanted most.

I felt the inside of my body heat up and I intertwined my fingers with his, trying to make the most of the moment.

"Please don't leave me again, Y/n." he broke the kiss to speak, but our faces were still close and his lips were hovering over mine.

"I won't." I moved the hair from his face.

"I didn't know what I was doing back then. I was stupid and we made mistakes, but you're worthy of redemption and a second chance." he sounded so desperate to get me back that I caved in without a second thought.

SECOND CHANCE.
