[ It's a surprise when Choso lets him do this, responds to it, doesn't push him away. For a moment, it seems impossible that Choso would want this from him, with him. They're such an unlikely couple, especially when their last meeting before coming here was an event that still weighs heavily in Gojo's mind and heart, laying new scars over old damage. It's strange that his attitude toward Choso has shifted so quickly. The imprint has helped, and the camaraderie of traveling together, but the easy trust and desire still feels as though it's come out of nowhere.
As the kiss breaks, Gojo's hand slips down an inch, from Choso's jaw to his throat, and his fingers tighten. There's a quiver to his fingertips. He's uncertain in his own desire, fighting with his control over himself. This is a curse. A distillation of hate and pain, formed from cruelty. Choso's history in particular is a horrible thing. But Choso has been kind, and his moral character has begun to show its own determination. He's not just pantomiming Yuji's morals, the way that Gojo--on his worse days--believes himself to only be pantomiming Geto's. Choso's strong-willed and driven to be good entirely on his own merit.
Gojo kisses him again, fiercer this time, driven by his desire for Choso and his need to escape and distract himself from his own pain. He can be possessive toward Choso. Even though he's aware that his own behavior is unfair and that he's been taking things out on Choso, that he's using Choso's half-curse nature as an excuse. He learned quickly that Choso will let him get away with things, that he responds to Gojo's flirtation and boundary pushing with a sort of careful stillness, so careful not to draw away or discourage. Because Choso wants more of that attention, or because he's realized that this is a way to keep Gojo calm and controlled? He wouldn't be the first to figure out that Gojo needs to have safe, human obsessions to help keep him focused. He needs acceptable outlets for his intensity and energy.
It doesn't matter. He wants Choso, and he's decided that Choso is safe.
Releasing his hand from Choso's throat as he breaks the kiss, Gojo shifts a little to the side, opening enough access between their bodies for that hand to slide down, cupping around Choso's groin and giving him a squeeze. ]
