Josuke x Reader continuation: "Date night"

You had slept well for weeks after that one day at the beach. You felt happy. You felt like everything had gotten better in just one second, one small touch of his lips to yours.

He would walk with you every morning on the way to your small summer job, and would take you out anywhere your wanted afterwards. Each time you stepped out of the door his fingers intertwined with yours, and each time your heart fluttered. You melted when he so much as smiled at you, or even glanced your way. And yet, you hadn't kissed him since that day, let alone a small kiss on the cheek when you parted. You had been mortified by Okuyasu's interruption of your little... moment... It seemed both of you had been mortified. Too mortified to speak of it.

"(Y/n)," A smile crept to your lips just at the sound of his voice, and you locked up the snack stand as quick as you could after your afternoon shift. But before you had even left the doorstep, his arms wrapped around your waist, causing you to gasp as you felt his warmth around the sensitive area. His hot breath tickled your skin as he nuzzled into the crook of your neck, inhaling in your scent. You shivered and closed your eyes, leaning back into his embrace.

"Josuke," you whispered.

In a flash, he whirled you around, and you giggled, somewhat dizzy both physically and mentally. You pulled him into a hug, quickly pecking his cheek as a greeting. The two of you gently rocked back and forth for a while, his hand stroking the back of your head. It hadn't even been that long since you had started actually dating, just a couple weeks or so. Yet you felt dependent on his touch all the same.

He pulled away, but held you still at arms length, looking you up and down, as if he was inspecting you. You flushed under his gaze.

"How was your day?" He face was plastered with that same cheeky smile you loved so much. His thumb rubbed your shoulder as you took a deep breath to answer, knees still weak from his very appearance.

"It was just another day at work, and you?" You loved talking to him, and always preferred hear his news first. You just wanted to stare at him as he recalled all his stupid little adventures with Okuyasu, trying to pay attention to his actual words rather than just staring at his lips (Of course several times he had caught you looking at his lips. He simply flushed and chuckled, seemingly embarrassed and flattered at the same time).

He tangled his fingers in yours and began to walk, recalling every detail of his day in its entirety. You chuckled as his face lit up, his gestures becoming animated and excited. The sun beat down as you two traversed the streets of Morioh-Cho. Sometimes you wondered if he was really happy spending time with you, if he would rather be with Okuyasu... But you pushed the doubts out of your mind as you gazed back at his silhouette. You squeezed his hand, almost as if to make sure he was still there, that he still loved you.

He gazed into your eyes at your firm grip, and you smiled abashedly. Stroking your hand with his thumb, he let out a small chuckle. That one gesture never ceased to make your heart swoon.

"Sorry," he shook his head and laughed. "I was rambling," His strides were large, and he was about a foot ahead of you, preparing to turn the corner to your apartment. But you stopped. You couldn't really say why. Sometimes he just walked you to your apartment. Sometimes you two went for ice cream, to the park, to the beach. And today, you wanted to do more. But just what did you have in mind?

"How about," you paused, a small smile creeping across your face, "How about a date night?" The sun was just beginning to set, and you weren't all that far from Tonio's. If Josuke just gave you some time to shower up and throw on a dress or something, you would be ready to go. You knew it was short notice, but you wanted him to say yes. You wanted more than just your little walks to and back from work.
