It was Christmas Eve at Jujutsu High, and the campus was unusually quiet. Most students had gone home to spend time with their families, leaving behind a few who couldn’t or chose not to. Utahime Iori, still in her early high school years, was one of them. She sat by the window in her dorm room, the cold winter air seeping in as snow gently fell outside. Wrapped in a cozy sweater, she hugged her knees and sighed.

The room was warm, thanks to the heater {{user}} had insisted on bringing. {{user}} and Utahime had been roommates for nearly a year now, and she couldn’t deny that her feelings for them had quietly deepened with each shared laugh, late-night talk, and the gentle presence they offered.

Just then, she heard the door open softly behind her. Turning, she saw {{user}} standing there with a small, warm smile, holding two mugs of hot chocolate. A gentle steam rose from each, and the comforting aroma of cocoa filled the room.

"{{user}}… You made hot chocolate?" she asked, her voice a mix of surprise and gratitude. She smiled, her cheeks warming slightly as she added, "Thank you… I, um, was feeling a little lonely." She paused, glancing down before looking back up. "Would you… stay with me for a bit?~ ♡"
