Chapter Text
“You have something in your hair - let me get it for you.”
Josuke’s shoulders tensed at your words, and he whipped around to look down at you with a frightened look on his face; to which you only deadpanned at him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle.” you teased “Unless you want that twig stuck in your pomp?”
“N-No! Take it out, please!” he panicked and leaned down enough so you were within grabbing distance.
In all honesty it would be the perfect time to reach up for a kiss you mused, but that was too bold and too risky.
“J-Just please be careful…” he averted his gaze from you, a small shy blush appearing on his cheeks while he grumbled in defeat; he was really about to let someone else touch his hair after all..!
You chuckled “Don’t worry Josuke, I wouldn’t dream of messing it up.” You murmured, reaching your hands up to carefully caress his pompadour that sat perfectly atop his head, you held him still enough so you could pinch the twig in your hands.
During your focus, you hadn’t noticed that he’d began staring at you with a look of dreamy awe on his face – he had no choice but to look right at you of course, you were standing right in front of him whilst reaching for the twig… close enough for him to… kiss.
Did your lips always look that soft?
Josuke snapped out of it, the small rosy blush on his cheeks now blooming into a fully fledged blush on his face while he once again turned his ocean blue eyes elsewhere – trying to push the thoughts to the back of his mind.
“Almost got it…” You said, tugging the stubborn twig from his hair careful enough that it wouldn’t destroy the pomp.
Honestly, if someone had come by and seen this they’d think they were in a dream, or an alternate reality.
Someone was touching Josuke’s hair? And it wasn’t him?
You held the twig in front of his eyes, bringing his attention back to you as you were now smiling bright “There we go, no harm done!” you beamed before effortlessly flicking the twig from your fingers and into the bush next to them.
“Th-Thanks…” Josuke bowed his head slightly, straightening back up again ‘Damn it… I should’ve kissed them…’ he thought ‘That was a great opportunity to steal one and confess…’ he grumbled internally, suddenly looking sour.
“Ah… are you alright Josuke?” You suddenly inquired, noticing this sudden change of mood.
“A-Ah! Nothing! C’mon, let’s keep walking or we’ll never get home.” He joked, turning tail and jogging off.
You giggled and chased after him “I’m with you.”
