Hey, could I request platonic headcanons with Young Gojo and Geto with a 5-year-old curse vessel?
When the child was younger, their parents took them to a doctor who diagnosed the child with a “terminal illness” and needed to be kept under the supervision of doctors. Of course, the parents complied, worrying for their child’s health. Little did they know that those “doctors” were ex-jujutsu sorcerers looking to revive a curse and got potential vessels by deceiving individuals.
One thing led to another and the child was somehow compatible with the curse and stayed with the doctors for further testing.
Once Jujutsu tech found out about a group of sorcerers experimenting with normal people, they needed to stop it. So, they sent in a bunch of sorcerers to put an end to the shit they had going on only to find many patients, among which was a young child crying.
Shoko probably had to check up on every person there to make sure they could return to the world of non-sorcerers with minimal issues when she noticed something wrong with the child. She couldn't quite place her finger on the feeling so she began, gently, asking questions only to find out that the experiment the researchers ran on them resulted in “a strange voice” which was later revealed to be a curse.
Obviously, everyone was concerned and, for good reason, felt bad about the idea of killing a child so the higher-ups allowed the cursed vessel to live until they caused a serious problem.
Luckily for the kid, and probably everyone else, the curse actually likes them and isn't too upset about the current situation. Sure they’re upset about being stuck in a child’s body, but at the same time, they can't exactly go running around, taking their anger out since it would likely kill their vessel and it would be more troublesome to wait for God knows how long to find a new vessel than to behave until the kid grows up and gets stronger
Sorry that this is really long! I’ve just had this idea stuck in my head for a while 😔
platonic, gn! reader, fluff
Characters: Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto
Note: Holy shit that's a lot… Also, since you didn't mention the parents again I went off the assumption that they aren't in the picture anymore.
Gojo was likely the one who found them in the first place.
That being said, he never would've guessed that the crying child he found was actually the vessel to a cursed spirit.
Seeing as this is before the main timeline, he was likely confused. Sure, he'd heard that curses could use humans as vessels if they were strong and they’re lucky enough, but he had never seen it happen before.
When he was told that he had to be one of the people to look after the kid, since he’s a special-grade sorcerer, he wasn't happy. He’s insistent that he has better things to do than look after a kid.
However, when the principal did budge he still wasn't happy, but eventually accepted the position of a guardian.
Despite how reluctant he initially was to take care of them, he does everything he can to make sure they’re happy and healthy.
Since the kid’s always stuck inside the school he goes into town to take the kid shopping. Sure, it isn't often but at least he gets to relax and gets to see the kid’s smile when he.
Whenever he leaves for a mission, he promises to bring back some stuff for them, so they have something to look forward to once he returns.
Gojo’s relieved that the curse isn't dumb enough to start anything because, as much as he hates to admit it, he’s started caring for the kid.

Unlike Gojo, he wasn't as vocal about his distaste for taking care of a child. That doesn't mean that he was thrilled but he warmed up to them much faster.
Taking care of them is the break he needs to detach himself from the world of sorcerers. There's something about separating himself from all of the issues that come with fighting curses and just taking time to care for them that is calming for him.
On a similar note, he would do anything to make sure they were safe and sound once he warmed up to them.
He cooks the kid’s favorite foods. It doesn't matter if he doesn't already know a good recipe, he’ll learn it.
Get doesn't like leaving jujutsu tech with them, worrying that a curse would attack and end up injuring the kid. So, instead, he’ll take walks around the school with them so they aren't stuck in the dorms all day. However, with enough begging from the kid, he’ll cave and go into the city with them, but they aren't allowed out of his sight.
When he left jujutsu high, he felt bad about leaving them behind but didn't want to worry about them getting injured because of him.
Not only that but if they got caught by sorcerers, they would undoubtedly be killed due to being a vessel and on the enemy’s side
As long as the curse inside of them doesn't cause any issues, he’s fine with it, though he does worry at times.
