”Eternal Love”
After the fight with Sukuna, you went to to give gojo a proper funeral and as you stood by his grave…, the girl who had always found life boring and the man annoying, you regretted not getting to know him better
MANGA SPOILERS
He fell first x she fell harder trope
After getting my injuries healed by Shoko, i stood up “Shoko…there is one last thing i need to do” i spoke
she just shrugged, as if everything was fine.
I ran, ran back to the scene where gojo died, where his body was used and then discarded again. I knelt down. My shaking hand over his dead body, eyes closed like they would never open again. A faint smile on my face, my shaky hand covering his closed eyes “rest in peace…i hope youre happy there with Suguru, Nanami and Haibara….i’ll…get you a proper funeral” i spoke as drops of water fell down my eyes, my heart clenched…and i realised i was truly alone..
By his grave, all of his loved ones were there, his students….we prayed for him
“Y/n..” Yuji spoke “you must live on. Thats what gojo sensei wouldve wanted”
I looked away, down at his grave “i…used to be annoyed at him…and now” my voice cracked “i…wish i had spent more time getting to know him”
tears rolled down my cheeks….as a comforting hand pressed on my back from Yuji. “I…i just feel like…these measly years was not enough, not enough time to get to know him!”
*timeskip*
Did gojo knew he was going to die? Why didn't i know? Gojo had wrote letters for everyone. Letter to Nobara about her mums whereabouts and Gojo cheeky letter to Megumi about his dad…me and Yuji didn’t get anything and i was a bit salty.
“Y/n senpai..that ring” Yuji pointed out “a Kikyo flower…wow…who gave that to you?”
“Gojo did” i replied back, a faint sad smile on my face
“Oh…it must be important you know…in flower language it represents eternal love!” Yuji smiled
My heart stopped for a second. Eternal love? This? No way
…
“I highly doubt he knew what it meant” i spoke…closing my eyes “a…and even if he did….its not like he showed any signs of his feelings anyways” i spoke, holding back the gnawing feeling at my chest…because if would’ve hurt to admit or even know the signs someone like him…would give to the girl who always saw him as an annoyance, as someone boring to hang around with..

“Go on and pick something you’d like!” The excited white hair and blue eye Gojo spoke to me, in a childish tone “its your reward for being such a good friend~~~”
It was a jewellery shop, a small one, necklaces, rings, bracelets, everything
“Tch..i don’t like jewellery its a bother in the battlefield” i spoke with boredom
“Oh c’mon!!! Just pick one” he pouted “I heard a lot of young ladies like to wear jewellery!”
“I would’ve preferred you gifted me a cursed weapon but..” i then picked out a ring randomly, the first one in my sight that stuck out to me the most “this one will do” and i handed it over to him to pay
“That was too fast, c’mon why not put some more thought into it or look at the designs properly-“ Gojos annoying voice stopped mid sentence..looking at the flower. The beautiful kikyo flower with dazzling purple gems as the petals….
“Whats wrong?” I asked nonchalantly
A smile appeared on his face. Not a smirk, not a teasing smile. “Nothing” he spoke as he paid for it.
“Lets go then, i want to get some food” my stomach grumbled as he chuckled
Outside the store in the vast city, i heard his faint movements and i stopped in my tracks. My eyes widened slightly, a bit startled at his fast actions
Gojo, on one knee, knelt down as people passing by stopped, hands over their mouths, smiling sweetly
“Life might be boring for you” gojo smiled softly “but this is a gift…that i hope will bring you immense joy and memories forever”
Slip. It was soft, gentle…almost romantic
The ring he had bought, on my ring finger, sparkling brightly as the gentle breeze blew
His soft smile, his mesmerising blue eyes looking into the eyes of a girl who thought life was boring, who didn’t care about anything but fighting and swore that she would never feel his weird tingle in her chest, it was like a sparkle that ignited a new emotion.
The tower clock in this sweet moment, in the setting behind this magnificent sight…..
Time was the only thing in between us
