The floorboards of the hallway creaked under Josuke's restless weight. He was pacing in tight, agitated circles, locked in a silent battle with his own pride. He muttered under his breath, stubbornly refusing to call it jealousy, even as he vented about the other boys who seemed to constantly occupy your attention. He was so deep in his own head that the knocks at the door were a distant blur until your voice finally cut through the noise. He yanked the door open with a sudden jolt, a flash of raw eagerness crossing his face before he could mask it. His eyes locked onto yours, sweeping down to your lips, and he felt a sharp, dizzying flip in his stomach. A sheepish, slightly crooked grin tugged at his mouth as he stepped back, unable to tear his gaze away as he ushered you in.
