"what are you doing?"
"stay still." you continued your investigation, digging through your drawers for a bra that was ill-fitting but too cute to let go.
it was far too big for you to fit, but satoru, on the other hand, just might. pulling the bra from the bottom of the drawer, deep in the back. "up," you instructed, sliding the straps up his arms, pulling the straps as loose as possible to fit him.
climbing on his lap, you leaned over his shoulders to clasp the bra. just as you thought, the bra fit. you grabbed at his chest, squeezing the flesh together, marveling at the cleavage. "nice tits…" you laughed, squishing and squeezing.
this was far from your first time playing with satoru's chest, treating him as your personal, living, and breathing stress ball(s). you couldn't help but notice the things were huge and pretty too. whenever he was nearby, standing idle or lying down, wherever, your hands would travel up his chest, massaging the flesh. most of the time, it was unintentional, and you would be squeezing his boobs absent-mindedly.
you would only stop after satoru pulled you from the trance. "babe…stop- wait, no keep going." he would moan, leaning into your touch.
from your fondling, you had also found how sensitive his chest was. a few minutes of groping, and he was leaking, practically begging you to touch him. sometimes when he pissed you off, or you just wanted to get him hot, you'd play with his tits. when he was just on the edge, you would stop and act like you were not doing it on purpose, like any other time.
it was no shock to satoru when your hands found their place on his chest, thumb swiping over his nipples.
he stopped wearing shirts around the house, giving you better access to his chest after you admitted that groping him helped you focus. what was a surprise, however is when you started investigating his chest, both hands squeezing and a concentrated look on your face. "hush, i'm checking something." your fingers pressed deeper into the pliant flesh of his pecs.
a low, interested hum vibrated in his chest under your palms. "checking what, exactly? density? structural integrity?" his voice was playful, but the way his hips shifted beneath you betrayed his casual demeanor.
you ignored him as satoru's eyes tracked your movements, confused when the bra was clasped around him. when it was secured, you sat on his thighs with a triumphant sound. the sight was perfect, the black lace against the soft, sculpted swell of his chest.
your hands returned, palming the weighted bra. your thumbs found his nipples, circling them with deliberate pressure, making sure he could feel it beneath the padding. his head pressed into the pillows, a vein standing out in his neck. his hands, which had been resting loosely on the sheets, now gripped the fabric, knuckles whitening.
"don't let me stop you," you murmured, leaning close, your breath ghosting over his jaw. "i want to watch."
one of his hands started to fumble at the waistband of his sweats, showing the down just enough to free his cock. it sprang up, thick and flushed, already beading with precum at the tip. pulling one of his pecs from the bra, pinching his nipple between you fingers. you were rewarded with a broken moan, his hand stroking his cock, thumb smearing precum over the swollen head.
you mouth sucked at the stiff peak. the taste of salt and him flooded your senses. satoru cried out, fist fucking up into his own fist in short, desperate snaps. "k-keep going, just like that-" his words slurred, gaze locked on where your mouth worked him over.
you could feel the trembling of his thighs beneath you, the muscles going taut. you looked up at him, watching how his eyebrows were drawn together in pleasure. lips slick and parted, his eyes were glazed and desperate. he was beautiful like this.
"gonna come," he warned. his strokes had turned frantic and messy. you squeezed both of his tits hard, massaging the flesh, dipping your head to bury your face in them. satoru's head leaned back against the headboard, a groan tearing from his throat as he came.
thick, hot stripes painted his stomach, some getting on your shirt and thighs. you kept playing with his chest through his orgasm. your own core clenching around nothing, so turned on by the sight, you felt dizzy.
in one fluid motion, you pulled your panties off, nudging his wet cock towards your entrance. guiding him inside was a relief that drew a shared groan from both of you. you sank down slowly, taking him inside your walls, eyes rolling back at the sensation. once seated, you braced your hands on his lace-clad chest.
satoru felt better like this, inside of you. you began to move, the slow rolling grind of your hips, fingers immediately dug into his flesh, kneading the firm mounds. "yes," he encouraged, his hands coming to grip your hips.
you picked up your pace, bouncing on his lap in earnest. with each downward slam, your fingers would squeeze with the frantic rhythm. the wet, filthy sound of skin slapping satoru was anything but quiet, each thrust pulling a gasp, a groan, and a praising curse from his lips.
you chased your own orgasm, cock dragging against the sweet spot with precision. you could feel his heart hammering under your palms, tightening with each ragged breath. his hand guided your face to his, lips catching yours. you came, walls clenching around him. you cried out against his lips, hands gripping his chest for balance as you spasmed.
satoru came, hips stuttering up, burying himself as deep as he could. he painted your insides white, hot, frantic pulse filling you, each accompanied by a shuddering moan that he muffled against your collar. you massaged his chest through it even though your own body was ready to lie down. "your chest is going to be sore," you sighed, admiring the redness around his nipples and chest.
"it's okay," he hummed, arms tightening around you, one of his hands drifting to your ass, giving it a lazy squeeze. "i know you'll make them feel better."

♡ a/n: guess whos bacckkkk
You once swore that you would be caught dead before you argued with a man. Just the thought made you clench your jaw—wasting your breath on someone who either didn’t understand you or flat-out disrespected you. It always left your patience hanging by a thread. The idea made frustration well up in your chest.
Yeah, no.
However, some things in life change, and sometimes a feeling boils up so intensely that you have no choice but to act on it. Satoru was the exception, pushing your irritation past its limits. He got under your skin, genuinely upsetting you enough that you argued with him in public, your hatred bubbling to the surface for everyone to see.
“You always got some smart shit to say, your mouth is always moving. I don't think you know how to stop,” he laughed mockingly, waving you off like you were a fly buzzing in his face.
You sucked in air deeply, hoping the influx of oxygen to your brain would bring back the peace before he showed up.
“I don't think your dumbass can even get what I'm saying, did the balls to your face smooth out your brain too?” The people around you were starting to notice the heated tone shared between the two of you. Your friends were trying to calm you down by offering to step out and get some fresh air before anything else is said.
It's not like this was something new; every interaction you have had with Satoru turns into a verbal disagreement.
Your face was starting to get hot, and if you got any more heated than you already were, your entire day would be ruined, other than the embarrassment of arguing with Satoru in a Chick-fil-A, but also him destroying the rest of your day. You wouldn't give him the satisfaction, both for your own sake and for the sake of your pride.
“Yeah, let's go, my food tastes like shit now anyway.” You snatched your tray, stood up, and made sure to shoulder-check him harder than to be ever considered an accident. “Bitch,” you grimaced, realizing all the eyes on you.
That white-haired freak for sure said something, but you were out of the building before you could hear it. You've heard enough from your friends assuring you that 'he wasn't worth your time'; you knew that well enough.
Satoru was a dickhead, and you weren't going to let him play in your face. Nothing wrong with a girl defending herself, you argued.
To be fair, he wasn't that much of an issue in your everyday life. Seeing him outside of games or parties. Unfortunately, your circles overlapped enough for it to be an inconvenience. And you cared too much about school pride to avoid his arena entirely.
And he was there, always there. Front and center, soaking up attention he didn't deserve.
Nevertheless, during basketball season, you would have to get in those bleachers and watch as the team poured an exorbitant amount of money into the University's pockets. At games, you prayed he would get leveled by a player twice his size on the other team. Silently cheering when his coach would cuss him out about a relatively minor mistake.
Truly music to your ears, though you couldn't hear what he was saying to him. Those were only your small moments of joy that would be quickly ruined when the stadium would roar his name after a three-pointer.
You’d hate to admit it out loud, but Satoru was a good player. Annoyingly good. If it weren't for his shitty personality, you would rock the number 8 jersey with Gojo on it, too, like half of the student population. Unfortunately for you, you knew the real Satoru.
Behind the flashy smile and school records, he was the biggest asshole you had the misfortune of ever meeting. You don't even remember how it started. It might have been some snarky remark. Just wrong place, wrong time. Nevertheless, what you do know is that you couldn't wait till you graduate and never see him again. You prayed that no professional teams would pick him; however, with his stats, that was not happening.
A girl can dream.
Just when you thought your day couldn't get any worse, a party you didn't really want to go to with way too many athletes and frat boys to be a party free of drama. When you walked in, you avoided any of the large clusters of people, hoping not to get pulled into whatever they had going on.
One very large group seemed to be blocking the entire walkway. Your excuse me's were in vain as you tried to work your way around them. Either being swallowed by the music or completely ignored, none of them moved; the group somehow grew larger.
A cluster of tall bodies pressed so tightly together you couldn't see past them. Your final straw was when one of them pushed into you, stomping their giant foot on your shoe. You yelped in pain, pushing the man forward harshly, alerting him of your presence.
The man jerked forward from your shove, realizing that he had stepped on someone, he turned around, starting to apologize. "Sorry about-" lo and behold, it was Satoru Gojo.
You should have recognized the height; however, you were more worried about getting past this wall of people and not about ridiculously tall partygoers. He looked you up and down, dragging his eyes lazily over your figure.
"You alright?" his tone was almost sarcastic. Teetering on the edge of faux sincerity and cockiness that sent you over the edge.
"Move, you're blocking the doorway." You scowled, forcing yourself not to punch him in the nose. This is your second time seeing him this week, which is already too much. He scoffed, stepping aside, and muttering something that made his equally lame ass entourage snicker.
Oh, to have the audacity of a man.
"Excuse me?" You whipped around, grabbing the attention of those who were laughing seconds ago and their little jester. One of them made a face as though they were caught, turning around to avoid your gaze.
"Always mad, for what?" he spoke casually, tilting his head just slightly, like he was studying a wild animal through glass. It's always a man wanting to show out in front of his little friends— groupies in this instance. You don't even know how they like the prick so much. They acted like being in his orbit would get them VIP seats at the WAG table.
“The fuck you say to me?” It was rhetorical; you heard what he said loud and clear. You just wanted to see if he had the balls to say it again. He laughed, a genuine laugh. Coming right from his throat, right in your face.
“Grown ass man acting like a fucking kid. Grow up,” you spat, walking in your previously intended direction before you ended up being held up in a police station. Twice today, you have ignored the incessant urge to become violent with Satoru. You were quite proud of yourself.
You saw your friends leaning over the counter of the bar, your group peeking over with bright smiles on their faces, like they had found a full chest of buried treasure.
Well, you wanted to smile too, rushing over, you looked over as well. Standing on the tips of your toes to get over. Behold, it was the holy trinity, the BBC combo. Weird ass name, but damn did it work. Buzzball, Beatbox, and Cutwater. Six sets of them lay out on the counter.
“Pretty ain't it?” Yuki smiled smugly, like she was some alchemist; she poured some of each into a red solo cup. She swished it together to mix and chugged it in one go. Yuki was at every function as though she was paid to attend; how she was passing any of her classes was a mystery to you.
Getting to work, Yuki made 8 cups of the concoction and offered it up on the counter. “Bon appetite!” Taking a cup yourself, you chugged it down. The combo would at least get you in a better mood than previously and, at worst, make you do things you wouldn't do sober.
“Someone's excited,” one of your friends commented, noticing how quickly the cup was emptied. You blew her a simple kiss, offering your cup up for more.
A solid 10 minutes and 3 cups later, you were definitely feeling something; your friends were talking like crazy about absolutely nothing. By the 15-minute mark, your buzz dulled into frustration instead of warmth; any other time, it would get you that warm, fuzzy feeling that blanked out all the negatives.
“Where are you going?” Utahime asked, her words slurring as she tapped on your shoulder. Seeing how red her face was getting, this was not her first few drinks by a long shot.
“I'll be back, I'm going to the bathroom,” you reassured her, sliding off the stool and making your way to the bathroom. The lights were far too dim to check your makeup, and you also had to pee. On your way up the stairs, you ignored most faces that passed— no one familiar. No one that mattered.
Your legs dragged up the steps, feet getting heavier with each movement, and you groaned, holding onto the mahogany railing. Thankfully enough, the bathroom was right up the step, with three short knocks making sure that no one was inside, you opened the door and closed it shut behind you.
The bathroom was much, much cleaner than any party house you've ever seen. No sanitary products on the floor or even remnants of past functions.
You took your time fixing your makeup, blotting away that faint shine with powder. Reapplying your lip combo with practiced ease. It had been a while since you had the BBC combo; you'd learned your lesson not to do so after a particular incident. Your stomach rolled just thinking about it, uninvited flashes of Satoru’s sweaty face pressed against your stomach.
Absolutely tragic.
Washing your hands longer than necessary to distract yourself. You noticed the soap smelled especially good; it was in a dispenser, so you couldn't even see the brand. It smelled similar to peaches and mango. Hands down, the best party house bathroom you've ever been in. The last one didn't even have a real sink.
Shaking off your hands of water you had made your way outside, looking off to the side, blocking your way was none other than Satoru himself. He should really save that skill for the court.
Leaned up against the wall with no care in the world other than the girl in front of him. Expression half-focused and half-entertained, it was clear exactly where the night was going to go. Poor girl, didn’t even know what she was getting herself into. You should've minded your business. Should've walked down the stairs and left her to heartbreak or disappointment waiting.
But your mouth moved faster than your brain.
“Better off not wasting your time,” you said smoothly. “Asshole can't even get his dick up.”
The girl snapped her head toward you, eyes wide and offended on instinct. That comment seemed to straighten Satoru up, embarrassment flickering across his face before he could mask it. “Yo! The fuck is your issue?” Satoru groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose like you were the problem.
“Next time, move out of the way,” you shrugged. Your night wasn't ruined, but you sure as hell wouldn't give up the opportunity to ruin his. The look of embarrassment on Satoru’s face was pure gold.
“Just disrespectful as fuck.” he snickered, shaking his head in disbelief. The girl was obviously getting uncomfortable and looking for ways to get from between you two.
“What comes around goes around,” you laughed a little too loudly, but you wanted your point to come across clearly. “Which one is she? The eighth girl you've tried talking to tonight?” you lied, counting dramatically on your fingers.
“I got to go, ‘kay? I'll talk to you later,” the girl mumbled before practically sprinting down the steps. There was no way she was texting him back. A slow, smug smile pulled across your lips.
Mission accomplished.
“Get off my dick,” Satoru spat, stepping closer. “I don't need a random bitch watching my every move like a fucking weirdo.”
His height suddenly felt like a wall when he leaned down slightly.
“I'm not one of your weird ass fans, and no one wants that weak ass dick,” you snapped, “call me a bitch again and watch what happens.” You threatened.
“You didn't seem to mind my limp dick when we were fucking.” he said, voice low, each word enunciated with infuriating clarity. You winced slightly at his words, your stomach twisted at the faint, blurred memory.
“I'll never do that lame ass shit again, worst shit in my life. Couldn't even call that fucking.” To be honest, you barely remember what happened, especially if it was good or not. The problem with that BBC combo it can hit or it won't.
Funny how the last time you drank that concoction, it led you to one of the worst moments of your life. Brief flashes of the night and the aftermath of you waking up with Satoru snoring in your bed, and your body disgustingly sticky. It didn't help that Satoru was in his birthday suit, didn't even bother putting on boxers, nasty freak. Believing this was some messed-up nightmare, you forced yourself to lie back down.
Unfortunately, after an hour of lying in bed, you realized that it was indeed not a dream; you had fucked Satoru Gojo. As much as you wanted shit on him for his "game", you barely remembered anything. Too embarrassed to confront the elephant in the room, or bed. You decided to pretend to sleep, hoping Satoru would share the sentiment and leave quietly and quickly.
It was agonizing waiting for him to get out, not only did you have to wallow in your own shame, but also listen to the same man you promised to never sleep with, butt ass naked in your bed! It was an experience you never wanted to repeat.
His snoring slowed down and eventually stopped signaling his wake, finally. He rose from the bed, yawning, but it was quickly interrupted once he noticed this was not a familiar room and definitely not his bed. You froze instantly as he leaned over you, checking to see who he was lying next to. "Oh my god…" he gasped.
He gently pushed a piece of hair from your face to confirm. He cupped his hands to his face, inhaling sharply. He sat there for a moment before gathering his things scattered on the floor and getting out of your apartment.
Thankfully, he spared you and, particularly, himself by leaving. A few weeks after the incident, both of you acted as though the other did not exist, a brief moment in time where being in the same room did not result in an argument.
That was ended when you had accidentally grabbed his frappe order that was almost identical to yours.
Until now, the affair was never mentioned. It brought back all the shame and embarrassment, yet knowing that you could make even a dent in Satoru's enormous ego, it was almost worth it.
"You wish," he scoffed, shaking his head, "So loud, had your neighbors looking at me crazy. Keep lying to yourself." He shrugged nonchalantly. Nonchalant was everything Satoru was not. The man could barely contain himself when he got something from a vending machine.
"I'm not lying to anyone; I don't know how many girls are lying to you. You suck. Ever heard of 'faking it'?" You used hand quotes emphasizing your point. Patting him on his shoulder, "I felt bad." That seemed to hit him as he pushed your hand off his shoulder, irritated.
"I suck?" he pointed to himself, exasperated.
"Do I need to repeat it? You suck." before you realized you were being pulled into an empty room right across from the stairs. The party’s chaos faded into a dull roar as the door clicked shut behind you, the noise replaced by the hush of anticipation.
Your heart hammered as you realized how close you were standing, breaths mingling in the close air. You snatched your hand away, instantly watching as he closed the door behind him. "The fuck is your deal?!"
"I suck, right? Show me?" You looked around, confused. He can't be serious…or could he? You would like to say that the alcohol was clouding your brain, but that wasn't the case; you were clear-headed. Either prove that Satoru sucks or protect the remaining dignity you have by leaving.
Then you remember all the times he's berated and humiliated you, and you couldn't blame it on the alcohol this time.
Sitting on the leather couch in the room, this was an impossible opportunity to absolutely destroy Satoru's pride and hopefully get him to shut up, forever. You were so close to diamonds, all you had to do was take the final dig.
He looked at you, a little shocked, ruffling his white hair, realizing the situation he was actually in. "What? You scared?" You taunted, preparing to get off the couch, calling his bluff. He pressed your thighs down, preventing you from getting up. He lowered down to his knees, the position surprising you; however, you kept a poker face.
His hands slid up your waist, yanking your miniskirt up, revealing your panties and bare thighs. The coldness of his fingers made you jump as he spread your legs apart, hooking his hands around your butt, yanking you down towards his face. You let out a small 'oh,' as he lifted your legs to his shoulders for a better angle.
Satoru's hands massaged your thighs affectionately, kissing the inner up to your panties, licking a strip up the gusset. His tongue was hot compared to his fingers; the contrast was distracting.
You gasped loudly as he started to suck on the fabric, holding onto your thighs roughly. You bit your lip in resistance as he continued, swirling his tongue around the outline of your clit. "Freak," you mumbled, leaning your head back in faux boredom.
Your comment seemed to tick him off as he pushed your panties to the side, neglecting the previous affection for harshness. Spitting on your pussy, attentively watching the saliva dribble down onto the leather cushion.
Diving right in, he put a hand on your lower stomach, pressing his tongue flat over your pussy. Using the muscle to vigorously tongue your clit, you bit your lip, trying to stifle the moans coming from your throat.
You pushed his head closer, burying him between your thighs. You were so absorbed in chasing your own release that you almost forgot that it was Satoru eating you out. He pressed further down on your stomach, feeling the way your breathing was speeding up. With a drawn-out groan, you were seeing stars, clutching his white hair as you came.
Just as you were coming down from your high, he just had to remind you he was there. He looked up toward the wall at a clock, "That's three minutes and 32 seconds." he grinned proudly, " I still suck, huh?" He laughed, giving your pussy a light slap as he pulled your soaked panties back in place, snapping the band against your sensitive skin.
"J-just shut up." Still catching your breath, your mind was too clouded to come up with an ample comeback. He shrugged, licking his lips and wiping your remaining juices and his saliva from his mouth and chin.
"Yeah, whatever."
Just as you were about to get up, you realized the wet puddle under you and how your ass was soaked. "Give me your shirt." You almost felt bad for the poor sofa, soiled by your fluids.
"Why?" He looked at you, crazy, as though you were asking him to go out with you. You groaned, turning around and pointing towards your ass and the very wet couch.
"This is your fault," you accused, offering your hand out for his shirt. Obediently, he pulled it off, revealing his unsurprisingly well-built body, a waste of physique. Taking the shirt you used it to wipe the fluids from your butt and dab the small puddle on the couch.
As you pulled your skirt back in place, you hadn't realized Satoru was staring, obviously giving you an up-down. Disgusted, you threw his soiled shirt at him, the wet garment landing right on his face. "You're so weird."
"That makes two of us," holding the shirt up, he examined the damage before chucking the polo in the garbage next to the door.
"We have nothing in common." You scoffed quickly, denying his allegation. You didn't think he could navigate anything that wasn't a basketball court. He mumbled something under his breath.
You would have said something, but you would prefer not to see what other tricks he has up his sleeve, or lack thereof.
You walked past him, opening the door to leave the crime scene before anyone caught you together. You'd rather not be seen with him anymore today, or ever. He followed closely behind, closing the door behind both of you. Making your way to the stairs, Satoru was interrupted by one of his buddies, who stopped him in the hall.
"What's up, man? Where the hell is your shirt, bro?" You paused by the steps, waiting for the prick's response. You'd kill him right here and now if he dared to say anything about what transpired in that room.
"Had to throw it away, someone soaked it." Whipping your head around, you glared at him; his eyes made contact with yours, amused.
"…Beer?"
"Yeah, you could say that," he smirked, watching as you rushed down the stairs, preferring not to be in his vicinity any longer. Navigating the crowd was a struggle on its own; unlike Satoru’s entourage, they did hear your “excuse me,” and moved out of the way.
Down the stairs, your friends were in the same spot. Utahime was over the counter, begging for another shot. She couldn't even handle her alcohol well, a total lightweight. Her eyes lit up when she noticed your presence, calling out your name.
"You were gone furr soo long," her words slurred, touching the sides of your face with both hands, squashing your cheeks together. "Was there a line?" you nodded, lying about a long line outside the bathroom.
"No surprising the one upstairs is so nice, I used it earlier," Yuki added, tucking the rest of the alcohol under the counter away from Utahime. Thankfully, the conversation shifted to unrelated things and stuff that you missed.
After a while of people watching and useless drama, it was time to go. The party was lame as hell, and the music sucked big time. Whoever was on aux needed to delete this playlist and burn it. Your friends echoed these sentiments as you ordered an Uber for yourself. "We are going to that bar down the street, they have this drink that has the fog coming out, hella cool. You coming?"
You paused, you really didn't want to go out again, and honestly, you felt disgusting. Your panties were still wet, and although Satoru's shirt helped, your thighs were still damp.
"Nah, I'll skip out this time." They pleaded for a bit for you to go with them, realizing you wouldn't be joining them and that all of your Uber rides were almost outside. They relented and let you leave, peppering your face with kisses as you entered the Uber.
—
As you expected, Satoru was lips sealed about what occurred. The little interactions dwindled to almost none. Now you only saw his retched face on court. Watching the way he dribbled the ball, his feet quickly maneuvering across the court.
Your team was honestly getting whooped this past quarter. They had a strong start, but after a few bad calls and players getting pulled out and in, it wasn't looking good.
In hopes of bringing the score up, the coach brought Satoru back in. He was breaking through their defense, getting the ball a few minutes after getting on the court.
Just as he raised his arms to make a shot, a player checked him in the shoulder. A collective “Ooh” filled the bleachers watching as their star boy was knocked to the ground. You snorted. Honestly, you should start betting money on these games. Your prayers may work.
The way these people bet their left arm on these games, especially championships, it might be lucrative.
The referee intervened, and both teams argued their case, but it was obvious that the other player did it on purpose. Seeing how Satoru’s face scrunched up and stormed off away from the referee back to his coach, it wasn't considered a foul. The game was called back on with the players on the court, Satoru included.
The fall didn't seem that bad, but his right shoulder was significantly red. A bruise was sure to form.
The Gojo fan club was not happy with the decision, people arguing with eachother about whether or not it was a foul. The player who did it was benched and switched out with someone else, but he didn't seem a bit mad about it.
The clock ran as both teams attempted to get to eachother baskets, with unnecessary shoving and ball hogs. Satoru was fumbling the ball like he had a severe case of butter fingers.
With 20 seconds down on the clock, a point guard on the opposing team passed the ball around like a hot potato. Landing in their players' hands only got a split second before going back to the point guard, who landed a basket.
Once the timer ran, people left the court to eat overpriced pretzels and hot dogs. $7.50 for a hot dog is outrageous! Following Utahime, a fellow Gojo hater, to a relatively short line at concessions, the game was too suspenseful to leave early for concessions, so the outside was packed.
“We should definitely come to more of these.” Utahime beamed, scrolling on her phone for replays. Laughing at Satoru fumbling the ball on the court, letting it roll in the opposing team's hands. “You know what's crazy, they aren't even ranked.
And the score is 27-20, first game of the season, we might lose,” she snickered. A D1 team losing to an unranked school is embarrassing for your school, but you were cheering for the other team to begin with. It's not like your team never loses; it's rare, but it happens.
“We? Who's we?” you laughed, “I don't recall us being on the court?!” you joked, realising you were next in line. Both of you ordered a box of popcorn and a drink; unfortunately, the pretzels were still being heated.
Taking your orders, both of you headed back to your seats. You got there early, so the seats weren't half bad. Getting to see that number 8 jersey eat dirt in 4k was worth it.
People started filling back into their seats, food in hand, and their anger from the previous quarter satiated. Both teams came in, huddling up with their coach. Probably giving them a pep talk about the last quarter. They would need to bring the score up by 7 in order to tie, at least.
The buzzer went off, and the players assembled on the court. Some new players on the court, including Suguru Geto, you were familiar with him since you had an English class with him your Sophomore year. A cool guy, but anytime he was around, Satoru would soon follow. Once there was a group project, and Satoru just had to bring Suguru his wallet and phone.
You were shocked to see someone like Suguru, friends with Satoru, of all people. Unfortunately, the more you got to know both of them, the more you realized they were the same person in different fonts. Suguru just happened to be more likable.
You made sure to keep your interactions strictly school-related.
“I was wondering when they would put him on the court, him and Gojo are insane on the court, bro,” someone mused behind you, probably drunk based on their voice level.
If you could hear them from your seat, you were sure whoever they were talking to could hear them as well. They weren't wrong; they were great on the court, probably holding out in case they ended up in the shitty position they are in now.
The ball moved throughout the court, the opposing team using the same technique right before the last quarter ended. It was so obvious the easy way they passed the ball, attempting the corner and shot.
As their center passed the ball, to the point guard Suguru swept in and intercepted it and passed the ball straight to Satoru half-court. Satoru weaves through his block and makes a half-court shot to the hoop. The ball flew in the air, rolling around the rim. The arena was full of anticipation of whether it would go in. A loud bounce to the ground through the hoop, sending a roar throughout the arena.
You jumped in your seat a little, transfixed on the game. You didn't think it would be such an exciting one, considering who they were going against, but Utahime wanted to hang out, and you had discounted tickets.
Seeing how the second quarter went, you were expecting Jujutsu to get their asses handed to them. But dunk after dunk, you were quickly proved wrong.
The game went by pretty fast. It seemed your team pulled back up and started acting like a Division 1 team. The ending score was a blowout of 40-27; you kind of felt bad for the other team. You knew Kyoto was unranked. They weren't doing the first 2 quarters terribly, but they just didn't adapt to the play.
“Damn, they got whooped, should've put me on coach!” Utahime laughed, gathering her things from the seat. You wiggled your legs, waking them back up after sitting for so long.
Thankfully, they had cushions on the seats, so it wasn't as bad as it could've been. Looking down at the court, you made eye contact with Satoru, your eyes locking in on cerulean ones. You stared back, confused. What was he looking up here for? He lifted his arm and flexed his bicep.
Your face immediately scrunched up in disgust. Something is honestly wrong with him. His shoulder was wrapped in a bandage; you hadn't even realized it during the game.
“Oh my god, what the hell is he flexing at?” Utahime gagged, hurrying you out so she could escape from the show off. “He needs to put that shoulder down before he gets put on the bench for the season,” she warned, rubbing her temple, an attempt to erase the image from her memory.
“It just started?”
“I know, he only got one more year left, if he wants to go pro, he'd better watch it.” The pros were already looking at Satoru if the news wasn't enough, and all the scouts filling the seats were waiting to snatch him up at the draft.
“That's if he is going to go pro anyway, knowing him, his ass is gonna be someone's sugar baby,” she laughed, tossing her half-empty popcorn in the trash. It wasn't even fresh and was stale and cold. $8 for some cold popcorn should be illegal.
“He's not going to go pro?” you asked, a little shocked. Utahime used to be friends with him and Suguru and went to school with them since middle school. A horror story of itself. You've known them for three years and already hate them; you couldn't even imagine nine years.
“No, I don't think so, at least,” she shook her head, “His family wants him to graduate and take their company, or something, I don't know.”
"That's- that's his choice, I guess.” You rolled your eyes. Family pressure and all, but with his talent, you never expected it. You can't expect anything with him, but the point still stands.
Utahime agreed, you're sure she's thinking the same as you, but there are too many fans of his for y'all to set up your Gojo hate club stand.
Heading out of the area, both of you took the shuttle back to the car. It was an annoying journey, and honestly, for how long it took, an Uber might be worth it. Making it in the car, you drive her back to her apartment. Blasting music as Utahime rolled down her window, hot from singing the lyrics. “I'm turning the AC on, I'm getting hot,” she said, fanning her face as she turned the air on.
“Please, it's like 30 degrees, and I'm hot as hell,” you agreed, making sure she put it on high. Pulling into her parking garage, she hands the guard her card so that you'll be let in. It's a nice apartment, and it's near school. You didn't live too far from her, so you would be her ride sometimes, but she usually rode with Shoko, as they were roommates.
“Oh, are you still coming to our game night? I do gotta warn you, Suguru and Satoru are coming.” She asked, holding the door open as she was getting out. Shivering at the even colder temperature in the parking garage.
“They are?” you sulked, rolling your eyes. You forgot that Shoko was still cool with them, family friends apparently.
“Her friends, not mine, she promised that if they start being weird, they are getting right the fuck out,” she reassured. It seemed that might be her rule, but it's whatever.
“So in the first five minutes?” you laughed, she let out a groan, complaining that she didn't want to hear them talk about basketball for an hour again, like last time.
“I swear to you they had like 6 people hypnosed as they were talking about it, I can't do it again.” You weren't surprised; it is their job, kind of. “But, besides that, it's not just them, Nanami will be there, so he might cancel out their bullshit,” she held her hands up like she was praying before climbing over the seat and kissing your cheek goodbye.
You waved her off, watching as she got onto the elevator safely before driving off.
The game night was on Sunday, so you were sure you had plenty of time to mentally prepare.
—
Obviously not prepared enough.
“You're a fucking cheater, that's what.”
“My dick, you're trash at this game, bro, it's Jackbox!” You flexed your muscles, posing for your 3rd consecutive win. “Another dub for me.” Taking a bite out of your cupcake, it was an easy game. The dumbass even voted for your prompts a few times. You adjusted the crown on your head, flaunting it in his face.
“Yeah, whatever,” Satoru rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. He is such a child, it pissed you off how immature he is. He acts like he is the only one who lost the game when there are 8 other players who also lost.
Only ever thinks of himself. You don't see what people see in him, other than the way he shoots a ball, and he doesn't even want to do that.
So fucking annoying.
“Alright, alright, cool it down. We can just play something different; we've had enough rounds of this.” Shoko suggested, noticing how you were about to get started. Unlike Satoru, you can finish what you start.
Pulling out some Uno cards and the blank cards, writing something on them, and hiding them from the rest of you. Haibara tried peaking over but was quickly swatted away. “You'll see if it gets pulled.”
Playing dealer, Utahime shuffled the cards and passed them out to each player, putting half the deck down with one card facing up. With all seven cards, you kept a poker face as you beamed. Three draw fours and two wild cards. Utahime was the GOAT.
“Did you even shuffle these?” Suguru asked, rearranging his cards.
“Obviously,” she stated shortly, whistling at her own cards. “Anyway, who's going first?” With a few orders suggested, it was decided that Suguru would go first since he wanted to get rid of his cards so badly.
The game was slow at first, not a single draw, not even a skip. That was until Suguru called Uno, putting down a blue skip card on Satoru.
“You traitor, I thought we were in this together!” Satoru gasped dramatically, watching his turn go to Nanami. Suguru simply shrugged, placing his card face down on the carpet.
Finally, people started bringing out the good cards, giving Suguru thirty cards once Mei asked if they could stack the draw fours. Suguru was quick to say no, but that was quickly overruled once Haibara placed a draw four down.
“There's no way all of you had draw fours,” he held his cards together in a stack, not even bothering to spread them.
“Shouldn't have betrayed me.”
“It was one skip, I have thirty cards!”
“Sucks to suck.” Satoru patted him on the shoulder, holding only four cards. Obviously, Suguru was out of the game unless he could switch around, which was highly unlikely.
You'd love to see someone turn the game around with a whole deck in their hands. Many betrayals later and eight cards in your hand, Nanami took the win, putting down his final card, shuffling hands with Mei, who had only one card left, and took his twelve cards.
“Thank you, thank you.” Nanami bowed as you crowned him the winner, taking the one that was previously in your head from Jackbox. You were shocked that you lost with the cards you had. Unfortunately, you used them early instead of just pulling cards.
“Don't get too cocky, I'll just win it back next game,” you challenged, crowning yourself. He laughed, making sure the crown was firmly on his head. The second game continued; you didn't have cards as good as the previous game, but they were still good.
Putting down your last reverse and calling Uno, hoping no one would change the color, or worse, get you to draw cards.
“Uno!” Utahime called excitedly, putting down her second-to-last card.
“Yo, does anyone have another reverse?” Satoru asked, getting ready to place his card, and everyone shook their head. Shrugging, he placed the white card with writing on it. “What, bro, Shoko, you have doctor handwriting!” he laughed, trying to read the card but ultimately failing. He was right, for once, Shoko’s handwriting was absolutely atrocious, and trying to decipher it gave you a headache.
“My handwriting is not that bad, it says sudden death, everyone is now down to two cards, draw one, if you are at Uno,” she said as though it was obvious. Seeing the new chance at a win and to recover from the last game, Suguru surrendered all his cards except two.
“Not that bad?!” Haibara laughed, looking at the card, making sure what she said was true, but he couldn't pick out the number 2. “No wonder you are in med.”
“Not too much on my girl, she's gonna be my kid, doctor, I need her handwriting to be as doctorly we possible,” you admitted, hugging her tightly. She thanked you, kissing the side of your cheek.
“Poor kids.” Satoru quipped, putting his other cards in the deck. Of course, he couldn't keep his fat mouth shut, just when you were slightly okay with his presence.
“Ugh, can you shut the fuck up? Just because you have a bad case of butter fingers doesn't mean the rest of us do.”
“Here she goes,” he groaned, “we still whooped their asses, so it seemed my butter fingers worked just fine,” he said, using air quotes.
“Can you not? I'll kick both of you out,” Shoko warned, pointing to the door.
“It's good, I'm sure a lot of people don't mind my butter fingers,” he laughed, getting a chuckle out of the group. You gagged, motioning with your finger. “That too,” he grinned.
“You're so disgusting, I can't believe anyone would ever let you near them.” You rolled your eyes, realizing the irony, once Satoru burst out laughing, wiping tears from his eyes.
It was not that funny. You rolled your shoulders, not letting him get under your skin.
He acts as though he is getting paid to ragebait.
Biting your tongue, you kept your mouth shut the rest of the game, or else Shoko may beat your ass for choking Satoru. Holding in the urge, you waited patiently for your turn, placing your card down.
You had a wild card, you had a chance at winning until Shoko put down a draw two with a sympathetic apology. Accepting defeat, you let the rest of the game go out with Shoko taking the win. At least it was her and not him.
Nanami passed the crown onto Shoko, who swept the last round with great fanfare. After a few games of table tennis and a short game of Monopoly that was quickly won by MeiMei, you would've been a close second had you not sold your boardwalk to Suguru for 800. At the time, it was worth it, but in retrospect, it sold your game.
As midnight started to roll around, Haibara and Nanami left, claiming they had an early class, along with MeiMei, who had work. Throwing away empty cups and packaging up all the games, all that was left were a few blankets and Utahime’s PlayStation.
“Just leave it, I might as well leave it out here anyway.” Utahime yawned, wrapping a loose blanket around herself. Folding the fuzzy blanket, you placed it at the edge of the couch. Suguru and Shoko were having a conversation of their own in the kitchen, cleaning up remnants of the charcuterie board.
“Alright, I'm heading out, I'll see you later!” you announced, putting on your coat. They wished you goodbye. Shoko offered to walk you down, but you declined. They were still cleaning up, and she would get distracted too easily and end up not doing it until next week. The elevator ride was quiet, the day’s noise fading into the background.
When the doors slid open, you braced against the chill that crept into the parking garage, heels echoing against the damp concrete as you made your way toward your car. Holding your keys tight, your car was already running since you activated remote start on the elevator. At least your car won't be as cold. Pausing, you heard footsteps behind you, not too far behind.
It's not unusual for someone else to be down here, but you didn't appreciate how they were so close behind you. Speeding up, you hoped it would create some distance, but the steps didn't get any farther.
Doing a quick look around to see who it is, you could defend yourself, but you needed to see if they could outrun you to your car. Your face instantly dropped, scrolling on his phone, of course, it was Satoru. He is nothing to be scared of. Dropping your guard, you unlocked your car door, your hands latching onto the handle. Satoru followed right behind before looking up and staring between the two cars.
“That's you parking like this?” he scoffed, unlocking the door to his vehicle. Of course, he drives a Mercedes. Trashy fits trashy. There's no Shoko to stop you in the parking garage.
“Keep saying shit, and I'm hitting your shit,” you warned. He scoffed, dangling his keys, urging, begging you to hit his car. Continuing to talk, he doesn't have to worry, you've got something for him.
—
Finally quiet, you don't have to hear that agitating voice anymore. Sure, there was some moaning here or there, but you made sure to shove your panties deep enough down his throat that it was muffled. Grinding your hips, relishing in the sensation. A sharp, stinging slap landed on your ass, the sound cracking through the humid air of the room. You gasped, your rhythm faltering.
His throat hummed, rolling your eyes, you reluctantly removed the soaked garment from his mouth. “What?”
"Keep going. Or are you already tired?" You clenched around him, a silent, petty retaliation, and were rewarded with a faint, sharp hiss of air through his teeth. A victory, however small. You wish he had a mute button. You began to move again, your thighs burning as you rose and fell, the slick, wet sound of your bodies meeting filling the silence he'd just broken.
The stretch was still a brutal, breathtaking ache, a feeling of being split open on the thick, unyielding length of him. Your own juices, a traitorous flood, made the slide easier, coating him and dripping down to soak the sheets beneath his hips.
You dared a glance down. Satoru's head was tipped back against the pillows, his white hair fanned out like a halo. His eyes were half-lidded and fixed on the place where your bodies joined. A faint, infuriatingly beautiful smirk played on his lips.
"Look at that," he murmured, his voice a lazy taunt. "Making such a mess. You're dripping all over me, and you're not even halfway there." His hands, which had been resting idly on your thighs, came up to grip your ass. His touch wasn't gentle; it was rough and controlling. His thumbs dug into the soft flesh of your cheeks.
"You're so fucking- irritating," you managed to pant out, your voice strained. The smirk on his face widened. Leaning forward, forcing his cock impossibly further inside. Your back met the sheets as he pushed your knees back towards your shoulders, folding you in half, exposing you completely.
The new angle was devastating, a ruthless, deep invasion that had you seeing stars. Each thrust was a deliberate, punishing act, aimed with cruel precision.
"Fuck- Satoru!" Your protest was weak and breathy. “If you don't shut up, I will get up and leave,” you warned, clenching your fist around the sheets below you.
He saluted you, holding his hand up to his forehead. Grabbing the discarded panties, he stuffed them back in his mouth. He grunted, his rhythm never faltering.
Tears welled in your eyes, a mixture of overwhelming sensation and sheer, undiluted hatred for the man pounding into you. A single traitorous tear escaped, tracing a hot path down your temple and into your hairline. He drove into you harder, faster, the bedframe slamming against the wall in a frantic, jarring rhythm.
The sounds were obscene—the wet, slapping union of your bodies, your choked sobs, his low, controlled grunts. You were unraveling, coming apart under his relentless, detached scrutiny, and he was savoring every second of your pleasure.
You squeezed your own eyes shut, trying to block him out, to retreat into the purely physical sensation. But it was impossible. His presence was a brand, searing into you.
The scent of his cologne, clean and expensive now, mingled with the raw, salty smell of sweat and sex, was inescapable. The feel of his hands, bruising on your hips, was an unfortunate reminder of who was fucking you.
If only it weren't for that god-awful mouth of his.
A low, guttural sound vibrated in his chest, muffled by the lace. You forced your eyes open. A thin string of saliva had escaped the corner of his mouth, glistening against the dark fabric.
It dripped, landing with a warm, wet splat on your abdomen. The sight sent a fresh wave of heat through you. The clear fluid dripping from your panties was absolutely ruined after this. There goes another pair.
Your fingers wrapped around the fitted sheet, his movements became less rhythmic, more desperate, a frantic pistonning that was all friction and need.
The brutal stretch was now a familiar, welcome burn, a feeling of being so completely filled there was no room for thought, for his voice, for your own hatred.
His hands left your hips. One slid up your sweat-slicked thigh, a strangely intimate gesture that made you flinch, before pushing it towards the bed, spreading your legs further. The other hand found your clit, his thumb circling with a brutal, practiced efficiency that was anything but tender.
A broken, ragged cry was torn from your throat. Your nails, which had been gripping the sheets, now scraped down his chest, leaving angry red trails in their wake. The pressure in your core tightened, coiling into a knot of pure, unbearable tension.
You were close. So close. And he knew it. His hips began to piston upwards to meet your frantic descents, his thrusts becoming shorter, harder, more precise. The muffled grunts from behind the panties took on a sharper, more urgent edge. You could feel the quickened heartbeat beneath your splayed fingers.
"Don't stop," you gasped, the words barely audible, a plea and a threat all at once. He nodded, a desperate moan muffled. He held your gaze, unblinking, as the world dissolved into a white-hot static. Your orgasm ripped through you not with a sweet release, but with a violent, seismic convulsion.
It was a seizure of pleasure so intense it bordered on pain, a raw, screaming unraveling of your very self. Your back arched violently against the hand in your hair, a silent scream trapped in your throat as your vision whited out.
You clenched around him, a series of ruthless, involuntary spasms that milked him. Through the haze, you felt his own control finally snap. A sharp, choked sound was stifled by the fabric in his mouth. His body went rigid beneath you, his hips slamming up one last, final time, burying himself to the hilt as he spilled into you with a hot, pulsing rush. His grip on your thigh tightened painfully, his other hand still working your oversensitive clit with a relentless pressure that prolonged the agonizing, exquisite waves of your climax until you were sobbing, pushing weakly at his wrist.
For a moment, there was only the sound of ragged breathing and the frantic hammering of your own heart. The room stank of sex and sweat and him. You could feel the rapid, heavy thud of his heartbeat against your skin.
His hand loosened on your thigh, his fingers uncurling to stroke the damp skin. You looked up at him. The infuriating smirk was back, though it seemed a little looser, a little more genuine. A thin trail of saliva had dried on his chin. He looked wrecked, and beautiful, and utterly, insufferably pleased with himself.
With a grimace of disgust, you reached out, hooking a finger into the side of the soaked lace in his mouth. You pulled. It came free with a wet, sucking pop. He worked his jaw, licking his swollen lips. "Fuck," he breathed, his voice hoarse. He looked up at you, his gaze traveling over your flushed, tear-streaked face, your heaving chest. "You're a nightmare."
"Don't ruin it," you shot back, your own voice raw.
You moved to get off him, but his hands shot to your hips, holding you in place. You were still joined, still connected, and the movement sent a fresh, oversensitive jolt through you. You hissed.
"Not yet," he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. His thumbs stroked the sharp bones of your hips. "I'm not done looking." You wanted to argue. To slap that look off his pretty face. But a deep, pervasive lethargy was seeping into your bones. The fight was gone, drained out of you along with everything else.
So you stayed there, impaled on his cock, enduring his leisurely, post-coital inspection. You focused on the feeling of him still inside you, the slow, soft pulse of him beginning to soften. Breaking the silence, his voice was a low rumble. "You cry pretty." He said it like an observation, a neutral fact.
"You're so weird," you mumbled, the insult lacking any real heat.
"I know." He shifted beneath you, a slight, deliberate movement that made you gasp. “I think you're a big fan of butter finger weirdos.”
You didn't deny it. Denial was a game for when you had your clothes on. Here, naked and spent, the truth was a physical thing, a sticky, cooling reality between your thighs.
You liked winning. You liked the brutal, honest physics of the friction. You liked the way he could, for brief, stolen moments like this one, be quiet. Finally, his grip on your hips loosened. You took the opportunity to push yourself off him, wincing at the slick, messy sensation as you separated.
You didn't look back at him as you swung your legs over the side of the bed, your body feeling heavy and used. You stood on shaky legs, wanting nothing more than a shower so hot it would make your skin steam.
You heard the rustle of sheets behind you as he sat up. You could feel his eyes on your back, on the marks you knew his hands had left on your ass and hips. “You're such a player,” he accused, feigning his face as though he had been used. Your wobbly legs and ruffled hair beg to differ.
“Whatever.” You rolled your eyes, putting on your clothes scattered on the floor; your panties were a no-go. Soaked on the bed leaves a dark patch on the sheets. Commando it is.
“You sure you don't want a ride?” he asked, lifting from his spot.
“No, I can drive myself.” Grabbing your keys off the bench at the end of the bed. It was noticeably crooked, not in the position it was when you entered the room. Pushing it back into the place you opened his bedroom door, making your escape.
Throwing on some underwear and a robe, tossing the tied-up condom in the trash, Satoru followed behind you. Urging him that you could get to your car on your own, he followed you all the way down, not leaving until you got in your car.
You should hold up on your promise and scratch up his car, but you'll save that for another day. One where your back isn't trying to murder you.
The world outside felt different, quieter, as you drove home in the early morning darkness. In the shower, you let the hot water wash away the night, trying to scrub off memories that stubbornly clung to your skin.
By the time you collapsed into your own bed, the sun was starting to rise, painting the ceiling in pale hues of regret and relief.
—
What was supposed to be a one-time thing became a pattern, days blurring together until you stopped bothering to make excuses for why you were at Satoru’s place again. It was easier to let the routine happen. You told yourself it was just convenience, but the lines between hate and habit were starting to get messy.
Satoru would be tolerable for a few days before he started to piss you off again, but the dick was good. The only thing was, he couldn't seem to stop leaving marks on you.
Once Utahime found a hickie on the back of your neck, the day you decide to wear an off-the-shoulder top, too. You hid it behind your hair, hoping no one else saw it except her. Flaunting around a hickie was not a badge you wanted to wear. Obviously, she didn't automatically assume it was Satoru of all people. Instead of cheering you on for finally getting laid after so long.
It felt weird now that you've had Satoru’s fingers 6 inches deep inside of you, seeing him play basketball with the same hands.
It made you think what it would be like to be in the bleachers watching him play, but not as some hidden fuck buddy, but as his. That thought sent a revolting shiver up your spine, you don't think you could last being his girlfriend, or worse wife. You didn't want to end up just a “basketball player's boo,” not when it took you so much work to get to this point.
He wasn't boyfriend material.
Sometimes he would look up and see you in your seat, where you would look back and wave, partially back to his game but also as a greeting. It was strange and unfamiliar, knowing you didn't hate him as much as you did a few weeks, even months ago.
“Satoru?” you called out, pausing before speaking up again. “Are you…thinking of going pro?” you asked. You didn't even know if it was something you should be asking; he was pulling up his briefs, turning back toward you. Conversations were usually brief, with no comments on the other's future.
“Like after I graduate?”
“Yes,” you groaned as though it were obvious, you have no idea why he acts stupid. “Like as a career,” you said it slowly, hoping it wouldn't come out like you were getting ready to ask him out. Absolutely not. The question has been bugging you every time you saw him, all this work and talent, and he doesn't want to go professional. You were sure there were plenty of teams waiting for him. Maybe then, after a few years, you could brag about how you used to mess with him. Far into the future, when your dislike is far away from him.
“Why?” he grinned, holding your shoulders tight. Based on his tone, you knew he was about to say something stupid. “You know... there's something I’ve been wanting to try, so-”
“I would rather mop the ocean, no dumbass,” you sighed, slapping him on his chest. You already knew what he was about to say, and you would die if you heard those words come out of his mouth. “I'm just curious,” you admitted.
Accepting your response, he rolled over, wrapping his arm around your waist, massaging the flesh beneath his fingers. It was a type of affection you became accustomed to after you ended up staying over for a few nights.
This was the second time this week that you've been in his bed. “Yeah, at first I didn't want to, but it's fun,” he confessed, yawning into your skin. His breath was hot but reassuring.
Maybe he wouldn't be such a waste after all. If this went on long enough, you might be able to get free tickets to games.
—
The first time it happened was an accident. A collision of convenience and contempt that should have been a one-off.
Satoru thought that adding you to his schedule would disrupt it greatly, but after two months of finding himself wrapped in the same sheets as you, the scent of your shampoo and your shared sweat clinging to his pillows, it didn't seem like it was ending anytime soon. He wasn't mad about it either.
At first, he'd been hesitant to believe that he would ever, in a million years, hear you make a sound that wasn't a cheese grater to his ears, much less one that was panting his name, begging for more.
The bed chemistry was like no other. It was an efficient language all its own. He'd let you call him all sorts of things if it meant he got to feel your warm, slick walls wrap so tightly, so lovingly around his cock.
It was on a Tuesday, three weeks in, that he made the connection. He had a major exhibition match that evening, one he'd been oddly tense about. The pressure was a low hum under his skin, a rare and unwelcome sensation.
You'd shown up at his apartment under the guise of picking up your lip gloss or something, one he didn't remember you leaving. A familiar routine of crowding you against his front door and your mouth finding his in a furious kiss, and letting him eat you out partially naked on his couch.
Later, on the court, he felt untouchable. His movements were fluid, his reflexes preternatural, his mind clear and sharp.
Every shot was perfection. He dominated the game with effortless grace that left coach Yaga stunned. Driving home, the high of victory still thrumming in his veins, he replayed the day. The only variable, the only change in his routine, had been you.
He tested the theory. The next practice match, he fucked you in his shower beforehand, your body braced against the cool tiles, his hands gripping your waist hard enough to bruise.
He played like a god. The following week, before a grueling two-hour training session, he'd made you cum twice with his mouth in the back of his car, tasting your release on his tongue. His stamina that day was legendary. It became his secret. His lucky charm. Not you, specifically. He'd never grant a person that much power, but the act itself. The raw, physical expenditure.
The way your body responded to his, it drained the restless, aggressive energy from him and left only a cool, focused calm.
The sun was high, casting sharp, clean lines of light across the disheveled sheets of his bed. He was soaking up the feel of your skin like a sponge, unable to resist the urge to leave his mark on the canvas of your body.
He slid one hand down the delicate dip of your spine, a sweeping gesture, while the other pressed down firmly on your lower stomach. The pressure was intimate, invasive, making him groan as he felt the shape of himself moving deep inside you.
"Fuck," you whined, your feet pressing into the mattress, toes curling as you tried to ground yourself. The sound, the sight, the feeling.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Firm. Insistent.
“Did you hear that?” you gasped. He pressed harder, grinding the heel of his hand against you. A ragged moan was torn from his throat as your gummy walls clenched around him in a sudden, violent spasm, a direct, visceral reaction to the pressure.
"They'll go away," he breathed, his voice rough. "Just like that." You just panted, a broken, wet sound, turning your face into the pillow. He didn't like that. He wanted to see it.
To see your features twist and change because of him. He drilled into you relentlessly, the headboard tapping a steady, insistent rhythm against the wall.
Snaking his hand around your throat, he held onto it lightly, not cutting off air, just applying enough pressure for you to feel the weight of his control, the potential of his strength. Your eyes, wide and dark, flew to his.
He saw the shock, the fury, and beneath it, a thrilling, undeniable flicker of surrender. "Look at you," he murmured, his thumb stroking the frantic pulse under your jaw. With a scream that was half-sob, half-triumph, you cried out, your release flooding his sheets, your body convulsing around him.
The sensation was too much, rhythmic clenching of your inner muscles pulling his own orgasm from him with brutal efficiency. He followed you over the edge with a low, guttural groan, spilling his cum deep inside the condom, his hips stuttering through the last few, shallow thrusts.
The sunlight felt obscenely bright, illuminating the sheen of sweat on your bodies, the mess you'd made of his bed. He shifted his weight off you, but didn't pull away completely, one arm slung possessively across your waist.
This was the part he tolerated. The quiet aftermath. The way your body, spent and pliant, seemed to fit perfectly against his.
As usual, you pulled your body up, slipping on your clothes, he would've enjoyed the view a little longer had another knock come at the door. “They're still there?” you said, a little surprised by the determination to see Satoru.
Pulling up your leggings, “I have plans," you snapped, seeing how he was still oogling at you, “I don't have time."
"Plans?" he drawled, lacing his fingers behind his head. The picture of indolent satisfaction.
You shot him a glare over your shoulder as you fastened your bra. "Friends, actually. Something you probably wouldn't understand the concept of."
He swung his legs over the side of the bed, standing up, stretching with an obnoxious display of his muscular frame, making sure you were looking. He knew you were.
You hated that you did. You pulled the shirt over your head, your face emerging with your hair a mess, your lips still swollen from his kisses. You looked thoroughly ruined. It was a better look on you than the usual annoyed expression you reserved for him.
"You know, for someone who claims to hate the sound of my voice, you're awfully responsive to it when it's telling you how wet you are."
Walking out of his bedroom to the front door, he followed closely behind, fumbling to put on briefs and sweatpants. One shoe on, and pointed a finger at him.
"Do not. Start."
“C’mon, can't you just cancel, you know I wanted to try this thing where you hang-”
"I'd rather tell them I have a contagious skin disease," you retorted, shoving your other foot into your shoe. You grabbed your purse from his coat hanger and slung it over your shoulder. "Good luck with your game, I guess.” You unlocked the door and yanked it open.
“Satoru, the fuck were you doing! We have pre-game-” Suguru was standing there, his fist raised to knock again. He blinked, his dark eyes sweeping over the scene with the swift, analytical precision of a seasoned strategist.
The assessment took only a second, but the damage was done.
Suguru's jaw went slack for a fraction of a second before his composure slammed back into place, his expression shifting from impatience to stunned comprehension.
"Oh, my god." You pinched the bridge of your nose. Pushing past the statue-like Suguru, who was holding a cardboard tray with two drinks: black coffee and an iced cappuccino slathered with whipped cream. The movement was so abrupt it nearly sent the tray flying.
"This," Suguru began to laugh, his voice laced with a world of exasperation, "was not on my parlay."
Satoru shrugged, stepping back to let Suguru in. Suguru moved to the couch, placing the tray on the low table before sinking into the cushions with a weary sigh. He handed the sickeningly sweet iced cappuccino to Satoru,
“You think Yaga is going to get mad if I drink this?” Satoru asked, taking a long sip. It didn't replace the hydration he needed, but it satiated his sweet tooth.
“Yo! Don't change the subject, I didn't know you were together,” Suguru laughed, snatching the remote from Satoru to keep him on track. “And yes, Yaga will be pissed,” he answered.
"Together?!" Satoru gasped, recoiling as if struck. He looked at Suguru as though he'd just suggested the Earth was flat, one hand flying to clutch his own heart dramatically. "Have you finally lost it?"
“Fwb?” Suguru tried again, leaning forward, his elbows on his knees.
“Fuck no,” Satoru scoffed, taking another sip of his drink. “I would never be friends with her evil ass.”
Suguru studied his best friend.“So if she got with another dude, you wouldn't care, you don't like her at all?” Suguru asked, trying to understand what was going on.
Satoru fell silent. He stared into the swirling brown and white of his drink, actually thinking about it. He imagined you in the library, laughing at something some other guy said.
He pictured some faceless stranger's hands on your waist, his head bent close to your ear, sharing something only you would hear. He imagined you calling out for someone else's name while they embraced your skin. It didn't bring him joy, nor anger.
He tried to imagine the opposite, taking you on a date, holding your hand in public, calling you his girlfriend.
The concept was so revolting, so suffocatingly domestic, it almost made him gag. “That poor guy,” he said with mock pity, “I am not claiming her.” he let out a snort.
He paused, a thoughtful look crossing his features. "But I have been playing better. My stats are up since...would it really be worth it?” he mumbled to himself, grimacing at the thought of staying with you for the rest of his basketball career.
If being with you meant he would get a boost, he might be less opposed to taking your hand.
“Whatever works for you, now get up, we are going to be late.”

TOJI ♡ FUSHIGURO
Toji really knows how to irk you, from leaving his dirty briefs on the floor to not rinsing out his dishes. It truly made you think that you should've taken another second when letting him out of a ring on your finger.
"That's it," he grunted, his voice rough against the shell of your ear, the scar on his lip a rough brush against your shoulder. "Take it. Always fuckin' knew this pretty ass missed me."
You wanted to snap back, to list every damn grievance: the boot prints on the clean floor, the empty milk carton back in the fridge. But all that came out was a choked whine as he pistoned into you, his hips a relentless, brutal machine. Your fingers scrambled for purchase on the glass, leaving smudged streaks.
He was enormous. Not just in the way he filled a room, but in the way he filled you, stretching you to a breathtaking, burning fullness. You could feel every ridge, every pulse of him, and beneath it, the insistent, thickening swell of his knot at the base of his cock.
His pine and forest scent, usually calming, was now thick and heady with musk, wrapping around you like a possessive cloak.
"Must not be doing a good enough job," he taunted, one broad hand splaying across your lower belly, pressing down. You could see it, the faint, obscene bulge of him moving inside you, highlighted by the neon sign across the street. "Starting to get jealous…”
"Hush,” you moaned, the words dissolving into a gasp as he changed the angle, hitting a spot that made stars burst behind your eyelids, “J-just fuck me, Toji."
A dark chuckle rumbled through him. "Your wish, baby."
His pace turned punishing; each drive aimed to obliterate thought. The window rattled softly in its frame. You would be a little worried if your mind weren't clogged with his scent and overwhelming pleasure. You don't think you could come up with a good response for paramedics if the window breaks. His other hand fisted in your hair, not enough to hurt, just enough to grip, to tilt your head back against his shoulder. You were pinned between the unyielding glass and his immovable body.
The knot began to catch now, a delicious, stretching burn with every retreat, a triumphant. It was the sensation that unraveled you, that made marriage certificates and shared bathrooms seem like a fair trade. This was the core of him, the primal, undeniable truth that bypassed all your annoyances.
"There it is," he snarled, his breathing becoming ragged gusts against your neck. His arm around your middle became a vice, pulling you flush against him as his hips stuttered. "Gonna lock you up, fill you up—so tight."
You couldn't speak. You could only keen a high, broken sound as the knot seated itself fully, an impossible, perfect stretch that bordered on pain and transcended into blinding pleasure. He was embedded, tied to you as his body tensed like a drawn bow.
The first hot jet of his release hit your deepest walls, and you shattered, your own climax ripping through you with silent, convulsive force. He growled, a raw, animal sound of satisfaction, pumping into you through every pulse of your fluttering pussy. You could feel it, the hot, claiming flood, the way your stomach felt fuller, the way his knot kept every drop sealed inside.
His lips brushed the sweaty junction of your neck and shoulder. “If I see another pair of dirty briefs on my floor, I'll kill y-you…”
RYOMEN ♡ SUKUNA
The sound of skin striking skin was a vulgar drumbeat over the hushed, respectful silence of the court. This either was your worst or best idea to ever come across your mind. Or whatever remains of it as Sukuna pumped your insides full of seed, you weren't sure there would be much of you left. “What is wrong, woman, speak.”
All you could muster were weak nods, your throat sealed by a chokehold of pleasure. It was too much! Both cocks filled your cunt in an agonizing stretch, a fullness that bordered on violence. Your ruin was displayed for all to see, Sukuna's silent subjects watching with detached, attentive eyes from the shadowed edges of the hall. The heat of their collective gaze was a secondary brand against your skin, almost as sharp as the one his hands were leaving on your hips.
A thick, calloused thumb swiped roughly across your bottom lip, dragging you back to the present, to the searing red eyes locked on your face. "Shall I repeat myself?” He gave a deliberate, rolling thrust upwards, a motion that made you see stars and your body bow backwards, a silent scream etched on your face. The twin heads of his cocks ground against opposing, sensitive walls, a dual-point assault that had tears welling in the corners of your eyes.
His nostrils flared, drinking in the scent of your distress and slick. “Pathetic. You come to my throne, dressed in nothing but my scent and your own audacity, and now you play the overwhelmed omega." One large hand left your hip to fist in the loose fabric of the kimono you'd stolen, yanking it down to expose your shoulder and the curve of one breast to the watching court. "You wanted an audience. Now you have one.“
He began to move in earnest then, a ruthless, piston-like rhythm that had your body jolting forward with each drive. The ornate wood of his throne groaned in protest beneath your combined weight, a creaking counterpoint to the wet, slapping sounds of your union.
His cocks moved in a devastating tandem, as one retreated, the other pressed forward, ensuring there was never a moment of respite, only a constant, stretching repetition.
"Don't be rude." His grip on your chin was iron, forcing your gaze to the sea of shadowed faces. Your blurred vision could barely make them out, but you felt their attention like a physical weight, a humiliation that somehow coiled tighter in your belly, hotter and more desperate.
A particularly brutal upward thrust stole the air from your lungs. Your head fell back, a broken moan finally tearing free. It seemed to ignite him further.
"There it is," he snarled, his own composure fraying. His hips stuttered, losing their imperial rhythm for a sloppy, frantic pace. The sweet, spiced scent of him thickened, becoming overpowering, a command that made your very bones feel liquid.
His free hand slipped between your thighs, his thumb finding your swollen clit with unerring, cruel accuracy. The added stimulation was a lightning strike. Your internal walls, already stretched and fluttering, convulsed around him in a vicious, rippling squeeze.
A guttural, punched-out "Fuck!" burst from his lips. His jaw went slack, those crimson eyes rolling back before pinning you with a look of primal triumph. Deep within, you felt the first hot, thick pulse of his release, followed immediately by the insistent swelling at the base of both shafts-twin knots, beginning to inflate and lock him inside.
The sensation triggered your own shattering climax. It was less a wave and more a seizure, a white-hot detonation that ripped through you with silent, breathless intensity.
Your cunt clamped down on him in rhythmic, brutal pulses, milking the endless, scalding rush of his seed as it flooded you, a claiming so profound you felt it in your teeth.
Definitely your best idea yet.
KENTO ♡ NANAMI
“Honey, O-oh,” he groaned, gripping your hips even tighter, filling the room with his pheromones. That scent sun-warmed lemons, a tinge of rosemary, thick and heady, as he drove up into you from where he stood between your spread thighs on the kitchen counter. The forgotten sandwich you'd been making for lunch was now a mess of scattered lettuce and torn bread on the floor.
His tailored trousers were a dark puddle around his polished shoes, his belt buckle a cold, hard bite against the soft underside of your ass with every deep, claiming thrust. You were braced against the cold marble, your back arching, fingers scrambling for purchase against the sleek surface.
"Missed me that much?" you panted, the words dissolving into a sharp cry as he angled his hips, that thick, familiar ridge of his cock dragging over a spot that made your toes curl against his suit-clad thighs.
"Bedroom was too far,' he rumbled, his voice a low, gravelly thing that vibrated through your chest where he leaned over you, his formal shirt straining across his broad shoulders. "It's been so long since I’ve seen you.”
He punctuated the confession with a rolling grind, the base of his cock, already swollen with the promise of his knot, pressing insistently against your desperate, fluttering entrance. Your slick was a filthy, generous soak between you, the sound of it obscene and perfect in the kitchen.
“It’s been 4 hours-”
"That's too long," Nanami breathed, his usually stoic face etched with a raw, freaky hunger that made your inner Omega sing. He released one hip to slide a large, calloused hand up your side, thumb brushing the swell of your breast. "Needed my perfect wife, my omega.”
He pulled almost all the way out, the head of his cock catching on your rim, before slamming back in with a force that rocked you up the island. A ceramic salt shaker teetered and fell, shattering on the tiles. You didn't care. All you could see was the blown-out black of his pupils, his scent full of need.
"So sweet,” he grunted, his rhythm growing more frantic, less refined. The polite, meticulous alpha was unraveling. “Don't ever want to leave your side, ever.”
You clawed at his shirt, popping a button. “Yes, yes, Kento, please- I want it, want your knot-” He crushed his mouth to yours, swallowing your pleas. The kiss was all teeth and shared breath, a far cry from his usual chaste pecks. He tasted like the coffee he'd had at work. When he broke away, his lips were slick, and his breath was coming in ragged puffs.
He murmured something you didn't hear clearly. “My wife. Taking me so well.” He shifted his grip, hands sliding under your thighs, hiking them up higher over his arms. The new angle was devastating, his cock spearing into you.
You were babbling, a stream of yes and alpha and more as the pressure built, coiling tight in your belly. His thrusts became shorter, harder, his hips stuttering. You could feel him swelling, the thick, delicious bulge of his knot beginning to catch and stretch you even wider with each punishing drive.
Your climax tore through you, a silent scream breaking into a shattered cry as you clenched around him, your body milking his own release. With a guttural groan that was pure animal satisfaction, he buried himself to the hilt, his knot finally locking, with an intense, full-to-bursting pressure that had you seeing white.
Hot pulses of his cum flooded you, a relentless, claiming heat that seeped into your very core. You could feel it, the overflow already starting to trickle down, sticky and warm where your bodies were joined. He held himself there, pressed deep, his forehead against your collarbone, his big body trembling with the force of it.
He nuzzled your scent gland, his lips brushing the sensitive skin there. "Ruined my shirt," he observed, his voice husky and spent. You laughed, attempting to smooth out the wrinkles on the previously pristine shirt. “I'll just change it, don't worry.”
SUGURU ♡ GETO
This has to be love; he's in love. For the first time in his life, he was seeing hearts in his eyes. The scent of you was everywhere, filling his lungs; digging itself into his skin. His rut makes his senses even more sensitive.
He had you folded over the edge of the bed, his big body a mountain at your back, pinning you down into the mattress. One of his hands gripped the meat of your hip hard enough to bloom bruises you'd wear tomorrow. His cock was a brutal, relentless piston, carving a deep, slick path into your pussy, over and over.
You could only cry out his name; the sound punched out of you with every drive of his hips. He was hitting a spot so deep it made your vision blur, each thrust sparking white behind your eyelids. The wet, filthy noise of your joining was obscene, a rhythmic squelch that seemed to feed him.
“My alpha, Suguru!” you choked out, fingers scrambling against the rumpled sheets.
A low, approving growl vibrated through his chest and into your spine. His hand left your hip, sliding around your front, dipping low, his calloused fingers finding your clit with unerring accuracy. The dual assault was too much-the deep, stretching fullness, the clever, circling pressure—and a broken cry tore from your throat.
The knot at the base of his length was already swelling, a thick, insistent pressure that stretched you wider with every pass. The promise of it, the certainty, tipped you over the edge. Your climax ripped through you, a seismic wave of sensation that clenched violently around his driving length, and you sobbed his name into the mattress.
The feeling of your tight, fluttering channel squeezing his knot pulled a ragged, almost wounded sound from him. "Fuck! Fuck, yes.”
He stilled, buried to the hilt, his body a trembling, sweating weight atop you. His lips found the gland at the nape of your neck, scenting you, marking you in the most primal way, and he began to cum. It wasn't gentle. It was a violent, pulsing flood, hot jets of it painting your walls, so deep and so much you felt your belly cramp with the overwhelming fullness. He groaned, long and low and utterly spent, his hips giving tiny, aborted rolls against your ass to pump every last bit of himself into you.
He kissed you, deep and slow and filthy with the taste of shared exertion. When he finally broke away, he rested his forehead against yours, his long black hair falling around you like a curtain. “Let's get married.”
“We are…”
SHIU ♡ KONG
Shiu's hand was already high on your thigh, his thumb stroking possessive circles through the silk of your dress.
"Park the car, Shiu. Now."
A low, rough sound escaped him, part laugh, part growl. He swung the wheel hard, tires kissing the curb of a darkened side street. Before the engine's shudder died, he was on you. He muttered something in Korean against your lips, his hands already pushing the sleek fabric of your dress up your thighs.
Too many people. His fingers, blunt and demanding, hooked into the sides of your panties and tore them clean away. The sound of ripping lace was obscene in the quiet car. “I hate those get-togethers, so useless when I could be doing much better things.”
He didn't bother with his belt, just unzipped his slacks and freed himself. His cock sprang heavy and thick against your thigh, already weeping, the vein along the underside pulsing visibly. The head, a ruddy, flushed purple, nudged against your soaking entrance. The primal, needy ache in your core clenched around nothing, slick coating him instantly. “Shiu, hurry,” you whined.
"I know, I know," he hissed, sassy even in his urgency. His hand smoothed up your back, a contradictory, gentle gesture as he guided you onto him with a single, brutal thrust. The stretch was immediate, breathtaking, a delicious burn that made your eyes roll back.
"Ah, you take me so perfectly. Every fucking time." Each deep, grinding drive of his hips rubbed that delicious upward curve of him. Your nails are scoring down the crisp cotton of his shirt. You were unraveling, the coil in your belly winding tighter with every brutal, perfect stroke. The scent of vanilla and wilderness was all-consuming.
He leaned back, pulling you with him so you were straddling his lap, his length buried to the hilt. The new angle was deeper, more intimate. He watched, dark eyes glazed with lust, as your breasts strained against your dress. With a deft, rough movement, he tugged the neckline down, his mouth latching onto a peaked nipple, sucking harshly.
"Shiu... please," you begged, your hips stuttering in frantic circles.
"Please what?" he teased, his tongue circling the aching bud. "Use your words, baby."
“Knot me,” you whined, the omega need raw and undeniable in your voice. "I need it... need you to fill me up.” A feral grin spread across his lips.
“I love the way you think.” His thrusts became shorter, harder, more purposeful. You could feel him swelling at the base, the telltale thickening of his knot beginning to press against your already-stretched entrance. The sensation pushed you over the edge. Your orgasm ripped through you, a scream from your lips as your cunt clamped and fluttered around him, milking him desperately.
With a choked, guttural curse, he buried his face in your neck, his hips giving a few final, jerking thrusts before he shoved forward, locking himself inside you. The knot popped past your rim, a glorious, unbearable fullness that had you gasping.
“Don’t tap out on me, you asked for this.”
SATORU ♡ GOJO
It was like the heavens blessed Satoru, cursing you in the way. When checking you cycle, Satoru failed to tell you his rut fell on the same week. He was already a stamina demon, but his rut was like nothing else; once you spent 4 days in bed rest after a week of straight sex. It was great…in the moment.
The aftermath was like getting run over by a semitruck and thrown off a cliff. Your heat and his rut at the same time might just kill you.
“Isn't this great, wifey!” Satoru grinned through his delusion. “You and I experiencing this t-together?” All he received was a desperate moan in response. Your body moving in instinct, hips chasing that delicious high. “I know you love it too.”
He's so fucking weird.
His hands are everywhere, big and possessive, mapping the desperate arch of your back as you rut against him like an animal. The air is thick with the smell of sex and him - that sharp, ozone-crackle of his cursed energy, gone wild and musky with rut. It clogs your throat, becomes the only thing you breathe.
"Say it," he growls, the playful lilt gone, sanded down to something raw and demanding. One palm splays over your lower belly, pressing down, and you feel it-the obscene, almost full stretch of him inside you, a hard, tangible lump beneath his hand. "Say you love it."
"Who's jokin'?" He nips your earlobe, a sharp, playful sting. One hand slides up from your waist, fingers splaying over your lower stomach, pressing down. A choked cry punches out of you. There, under his palm, you can both feel it-the faint, impossible bulge of him, the outline of his greed distorting you.
"Lookit that. Already halfway there. My perfect little omega, takin' me like a champ. Gonna marry you all over again when I'm done. Gonna fuck you so good you'll say 'I do' screaming." You can't. Your words are just wet, fractured sounds against the column of his sweaty throat. Your hips stutter, a broken rhythm, and he seizes control, his own powerful thrusts slamming up to meet you, nailing that deep, blinding spot with terrifying accuracy. It scratches an itch in your brain you didn't know existed, turning your vision white at the edges.
"C'mon, sweetheart," he pants, his voice a rough whisper against your ear. His teeth graze the lobe, a promise of a bite. "You're so pretty when you're dumb for me. Almost as pretty on our wedding day." He punctuates the sentence with a brutal upward drive that makes you see stars, your body bowing backwards. "Could do that, over and over again.”
He's delirious, fever-hot, and talking nonsense, but the image of you in white, trembling and ruined by him at the altar, sends a filthy shock straight to your already pulsing core. You clench around him, a tight, involuntary spasm, and he barks out a laugh that's half groan.
"Oh- knew you liked that idea." His other hand fists in your hair, not pulling, just holding, anchoring you in the storm of him. His hips piston up, the slick, meaty sound of your bodies meeting filling the room. "My good wife. Takin' me so deep, fuck- look at you."
He guides your own trembling hand to join his on your stomach, forcing your fingers to press into the soft flesh. You can feel him. The thick, relentless slide of his cock is imprinting itself on you from the inside out. A tiny, visible bulge with every unforgiving thrust. Your jaw goes slack, drool beading at the corner of your mouth.
Satoru watches it happen, his bright blue eyes, usually full of mirth, now darkened with a feral, hungry intensity. He swipes his thumb through the spit at your lip, then brings it to his own mouth, sucking it clean without breaking eye contact. "Messy," he murmurs, the word vibrating against your skin. "I love it, love you.”
The pace turns punishing. He's not letting you ride him anymore; he's fucking up into you, using his grip on your hips to slam you down onto him, over and over, the bedframe screeching in protest. Each impact jolts a choked whimper from your lungs. You're so full, stretched to a burning, glorious ache, the relentless friction on your clit pushes you higher, higher.
"Gonna come," you rasp, the first coherent thing you've said in what feels like ages. “ ‘Toru, please, I'm gonna-”
"Yeah?" he snarls, his own control fraying. His breaths are ragged gusts against your cheek.
"Do it. Come all over my cock. Make a mess for me. Then I'm gonna fill this sweet pussy up 'til it's dripping. Gonna pump you so full you'll feel me for days." He nuzzles into your neck, his voice dropping to a possessive, guttural rasp. "Maybe put a baby in you this time. A little Gojo, how fun."
The vulgar promise, your orgasm detonates, a seismic wave that seizes every muscle, milking his cock in frantic, pulsing ripples as you convulse against him. A broken keen is the only sound you can manage.
"Fuck, fuck," he chokes out, and you feel him swell, feel the hot, sudden gush as he follows you over. It's endless, pump after thick pump flooding your clenching walls, so much it seems to have no end, a scalding rush that has you sobbing from the overwhelming fullness.
"Wow," he breathes, a playful, wicked light returning to his crazed eyes. He dips a single finger into the mess, gathering it up. He holds your dazed gaze as he brings it to his lips, licking it clean with a slow, deliberate swipe of his tongue. A low, satisfied hum rumbles in his chest. “You taste so sweet on your heat.”
Round... something. Six? Seven? The numbers bled together after the sun set for the second time (you think). The concept of a bed was abandoned hours ago. He'd taken you against the balcony doors, the cool glass a shock against your fevered front while he burned at your back.
Then, on the floor of the shower, water didn't even turn on, his knees grinding into the tile. The dinner table bore the brunt of his hunger next, your palms squeaking against the glass. Now, you're in the hallway, halfway to nowhere, his body a crushing, magnificent weight on top of you. You think he transported both of you, no idea if it was intentional or not. The plush runner is bunched under your back. He's got you in a mating press so deep your soul feels rearranged. His hands pin your wrists above your head, his white hair plastered to his forehead, those blinding blue eyes wild and unfocused, seeing only you, through you.
"Gonna fill you up," he snarls, the words raw and ragged. "It'll take." There's no finesse now, just a relentless, pounding rhythm that shakes the pictures on the walls. Your body seizing around him, a tight, fluttering fist sucking his cock in with each thrust.
You come with a broken scream, your back arching off the floor, every nerve ending detonating. It triggers his own collapse. A guttural roar tears from his throat, a sound of pure, unraveling instinct, as he buries his head into your scent gland, breathing in the source of your scent. It's a flood, a searing rush that feels endless, painting your insides white, overfilling you until hot, sticky rivulets leak out around the still-throbbing junction of your bodies.
The light is wrong. It's not the soft grey of your bedroom dawn, but the bright, accusing yellow of the midday sun slicing through the formal living room curtains—a room you never use. You wake up cold and stiff, drenched. Dried sweat, sticky patches of other things, and a scent that is overwhelmingly, unabashedly sex.
You're tangled in what was once a sheer curtain, now ripped from its rod and wrapped around your legs like a shroud. Satoru is a mountain of bare, scarred flesh half-sprawled across the velvet settee, one leg dangling off, his face pressed into a cushion. A shattered vase lies in a puddle of old water by the antique writing desk. You have no memory of this room. The last concrete memory is of his teeth on your shoulder in the hallway.
Satoru groans, shifting. A crust of dried white streaks lines the inside of his thigh. His eyes slit open, that devastating blue cloudy with confusion. He scans the ravaged room, the evidence of their frenzy, then his gaze lands on you, shivering and painted in the same filth. “So that's where you went.”
So like I just wanted to say hii and I love your works and
NIGHTWING!?!?!? HELL YEAH
I have the exact same photo of him (the first one one your blog checking his comm) BLOWN UP as my lockscreen, another fanart as the pfp when you're signing in and I did (but I changed it) had a motif for my home screen. (Jason is my phone tho) The background of your blog lwk sealed my following.
<3
Nightwing, the sexy goat. I always wanted to do a nightwing theme, but I was never that tech-savvy. Thankfully, I figured it out ;p!!
All of his covers (yes, all) are so amazing, dare I say DC has better comics...fight me later
HIHIHIHIHI I HOPE YOURE DIING SOSOSWWLLLL I read the DILF Gojo fanfic u posted like a year ago and you put me on to ‘I can’t get enough of you’ by Tamia 😭😭 GIRL THAT SONGS BEEN ON REPEATTTT
AYEE I looove that song sm and grew up with it. I'm glad you're enjoying it even a year later
"Mmh, you smell so good," he commented, sticking his nose in the nape of your neck. His body hovered atop yours, arms wrapped around your back. You would tell him to beat it and get his outside clothes from off the bed, but you could tell your husband was tired.
He had texted you a litany of sad face emojis, letting you know he had to stay late. Taking that opportunity of quiet, you did a bit of self-care. Skin smooth and shaved, smothered in body butters and oils, and hair wrapped up in a silk-satin bonnet. Even putting on a cute pajama set to match, with Satoru around, being in the bathroom that long or completing a full skin care routine without interruptions would be impossible.
Letting him feel up your skin, his hands roaming to massage it between his fingers, leaving small kisses against your neck. "I missed you," he mumbled, voice vibrating against your throat.
He was so cute like this, his body wanting to go to sleep, yet he fought hard just to have small moments with you like this. Spreading your legs, you pulled him closer, allowing him a more comfortable position rather than holding himself up. Your foot slid up his legs, settling on wrapping your legs around his waist.
"I missed you, too, Satoru." You hummed, kissing the top of his hair. White strands tickling your face, your nails scratched at his overgrown undercut. You would remind him later to get one, twirling your fingers with his. He leaned into your touch, body growing more lax.
"How was work?" you asked, ignoring how his hands were creeping under your shorts, gently molding the globes of your ass.
"Boring," he grumbled, a pout forming on his lips. "Wanted to come home so bad, I grabbed something on the way home, it is in the fridge," he added. His head raised, cerulean eyes looking into yours. He came closer to kiss you, but you held his hair, stopping him in his tracks.
"Nope, I just put my lip mask on, and I don't feel like getting up for it again." That was a half-truth. You could just put more on, and as much as you were aching to feel his lips on yours and embrace him, you knew it would not end there.
First, it is a kiss, and before you realize, it's two in the morning, you're sweaty and in need of a shower, and your mixed fluids drench the fresh sheets.
Satoru simply frowned, bottom lip jutting out slightly. Eyes softening as he peered up at you. "First drawer." You groaned; you were weak to him, especially when he looked sweet enough to eat. Perking up, he quickly pulled out the pink jar and set it on the nightstand. His hand moved to your jaw, thumb caressing your bottom lip.
The kiss was soft at first, a careful press of warm, dry skin against the slick, protected shield of your mask. But Satoru had never been good at being soft. His hand slid from your jaw to the back of your neck, fingers tangling in the edge of your bonnet, holding you in place as the kiss deepened.
He licked along the seam of your lips, and you gasped— partly from the audacity, partly from the way his tongue tasted of artificial sweetness. He hummed against your mouth, a low, appreciative sound that vibrated straight down your spine and settled hot and heavy between your legs.
This is how it starts, a voice warned in the back of your mind.
His other hand, the one that had been cupping your ass, squeezed hard, fingers kneading the flesh. He pulled you closer, grinding his hips down into the cradle of yours, and you felt him. He was half-hard, thick even through the fabric of his slacks.
Your own body responded instantly, a rush of slick heat flooding your core, your thighs tightening around his waist of their own accord.
You wanted him. God, you wanted him. Your nails raked down his back, over the starched collar of his shirt, feeling the damp heat radiating off his skin.
But you were also tired. And you knew him. Knew that once Satoru got started, he wouldn't go to sleep until he was buried deep inside you. His sleep schedule was already worrying with the increase in hours during busy work weeks.
You broke the kiss with a soft, reluctant sound, pushing gently at his chest. He chased your lips, eyes still half-lidded, drunk on you. "Satoru," you breathed, voice deliberately breathy. "You're still in your work clothes."
"So?" He nuzzled into your neck, teeth grazing the tendon there. "Take them off for me."
"You smell like outside," you said, and though it was a deflection, it was also true. The faint haze of city exhaust and the sterile air of the office. "I love you and all, but I just got out of the shower."
He pulled back just enough to look at you, one white eyebrow arched. "You want me to shower."
"I want you not to ruin my hard work," you corrected, running a soothing hand down his chest, feeling the rapid thump of his heart beneath your palm. "You go get clean. I'll keep the bed warm." you leaned up, pressing a kiss to the corner of his mouth; gentle, laced with sweet honey that pulled him deeper. "We have all night, baby."
His eyes darkened, a flicker of that insatiable hunger surfacing. "Promise?"
"Don't keep me waiting, Satoru." Your nail dragged softly from behind his neck to the lacy hem of your top, pulling at it just enough for the fabric to reveal more of your cleavage.
He groaned, dropping one last, bruising kiss to your collarbone before untangling himself from your limbs with a dramatic sigh. "Fine."
You smiled up at him, "Hurry, okay."
He padded toward the bathroom, already shucking his shirt over his head, revealing the pale, sculpted expanse of his back, the way his shoulders tapered to his narrow waist.
You watched the muscles flex as he undid his belt, the metallic jingle loud in the quiet room. Then he disappeared through the door, and you heard the squeak of the faucet, the immediate hiss of water hitting tile.
You listened partially as he showered, humming some song.
By the time Satoru came out of the ensuite bathroom, a towel was wrapped loosely around his waist, and another was drying his hair.
"Honey." A pause. Then, louder, tinged with disbelief: "You did not."
Instead of being spread out and ready for him like he expected. The thick duvet was wrapped around your body as you softly snored into the pillows. Pulling the cover back slightly, he kissed the edge of your shoulder.
♡ nerd!gojo ditches his textbooks and studies your anatomy instead!
the human body was a complex structure; simple pictures and models did not do it justice. the thorough man that satoru was, a real body was needed for his studying. you couldn't help but notice him struggling with the outdated textbooks.
the way he tried to visualize the body in his head, squinting even with his glasses on. he was smart, extremely so; however, there was only so much a textbook could show him.
when offered the opportunity to study a real human body to work with, satoru took the opportunity immediately. for the sake of his grade, of course. "breathe in," he instructed, watching how the chest moved up and down, feeling the muscles under.
"what's that one called?" you asked, liking the way his voice stayed so calm. at first, you were getting needy with his touching, but he was so locked in, he wasn't even fazed by touching your bare skin.
"breathe out." the command was flat, detached. completely ignoring your question, deep in thought.
his thumb pressed below your sternum, tracing the rigid line of your xiphoid process. the cold tip of a dry-erase marker tickled your skin as he drew a small, precise 'x'. "interesting. the textbooks really don't capture the... give."
he leaned closer, white hair falling into his eyes as he peered at the junction of your thigh and pelvis. "inguinal ligament," he muttered, drawing a careful line. his finger followed the mark, pressing down with careful, clinical pressure. "can you adduct? bring your leg in. good."
a frustrated heat simmered beneath your skin, embracing his touch. you obeyed, moving your leg, but a small, traitorous moan escaped your throat. satoru paused. his head tilted.
the marker hovered above your pubis. for a long moment, he just watched the slight flutter of your lower abdomen. a slow, knowing smirk added to his look of concentration.
"huh," he breathed, the sound suddenly warm against your navel. "vasocongestion. the textbook says that. but the pulse here..." he dropped the marker. it rolled off the bed with a soft clatter. his fingertips caress softly. "the rate is accelerated. significantly." two fingers slid through your folds. the wetness accompanying your breath.
"fascinating," he murmured, but his voice had dropped, gone rough at the edges. he watched his own fingers as they delved inside of you. "the engorgement is... pronounced. and this texture." a low, playful chuckle vibrated against your hip as he curled his long fingers, finding a spot that made your back arch off the bed. he knew you body like the back of his hand.
"models are shit. they don't get this hot. or this tight." satoru’s fingers pulled out slowly, admiring the glistening of his fingers. he brought them to his lips, his blue eyes locked on yours as he tasted. a hum of approval rumbled in his chest, his pink tongue swirling around the digits obscenely. "superior to any diagram."
in one rough, impatient motion, he hooked his hands under your knees and yanked you to the edge of the bed, your shoulders pressing into the mattress. he sank to his knees on the floor, his frame between your thighs.
"let's study the mucosal response."
his tongue was not as clinical as his fingers or that dreaded marker. it was broad, flat, and deliciously thorough. he licked a long, slow stripe from your ass to your clit. "ah, yes," he growled against your flesh, the words vibrating against your core.
"the bartholin's glands are definitely functional. listen to that." he chuckled, filthy sounds of his mouth on you. he placed wet, open-mouthed kisses on your inner thighs, each one marked with a faint, possessive suck.
you were begging, clutching at his white hair, but he just pinned your hips down with one heavy arm. "quiet. i'm concentrating. the clitoral erectile tissue exhibits... remarkable turgidity." he punctuated the last word with a sharp suction on your clit that made you scream, your thighs clamping around his head.
big words you didn't bother understanding, nor did you want to, focused on what his mouth was doing between your thighs, not saying. he drove you over the edge with brutal efficiency, his tongue working you through the convulsions until you were shoving weakly at his shoulders.
as you came down, shuddering, he rose, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. his glasses were crooked against his face and foggy. the dry-erase lines were smeared, a blur of blue on your skin.
he unbuckled his pants, freeing his cock, already thick and heavy against his stomach. you didn't expect him to go this long; you hoped he would sooner, but you couldn't complain. your hole was clenching at nothing, body anticipating him.
"the pelvis is designed to accommodate," he said, his voice a rough scrape as he lined himself up, the broad head nudging through your soaked, sensitive flesh. "but theory and practice..." he shoved in, a single, deep, complete thrust that stole the air from your lungs.
"...are different."
he stayed there, buried to the hilt, both of you panting. he looked down where you were joined, watching himself disappear into you. "the way the vaginal walls dilate and conform...fuck."
he began to move, a slow, deep, rolling grind that felt less like fucking and more like he was trying to imprint himself inside you. "need to feel the a-anterior fornix. here." he angled up, hitting a spot so deep and sudden your vision went white
“that’s not even on y-your test.”
"hm, you never know," he hissed, watching your face contort. "there. that's the spot. you feel that? t-that's the real shit." his thrusts became harder, less measured, the bed frame slamming against the wall in a ragged rhythm.
"gonna see how much this cavity can take. gonna study the-ah, fuck- the intra-abdominal pressure."
he fucked you like he was trying to pass an exam, perfect and precise. one hand snaked between you, his thumb finding your clit, rubbing tight, frantic circles in time with his thrusts. "come on. one more. for the data. i need to observe the orgasmic contraction sequence."
you came with a shattered cry, your body clamping down on his in rhythmic pulses. he groaned, a raw, unfiltered sound, and followed you, his own release pumping hot and deep as he muttered into the sweat-damp skin of your neck, "perfect. textbook perfect."
that week, satoru passed his final with flying colors. it wasn't even his required class, one he didn't mean to put much effort into. however, seeing how his new "study habits" benefited him so much, he just might start using them in other subjects.
he was more interested in the body than he thought, specifically yours!

♡ a/n: freak week (ovulation) has had me in a chokehold…
Beautiful blue eyes, pure white hair, taller than you by a few feet, excellent bone structure, and drop-dead gorgeous. In your 14-year-old brain, he was the most gorgeous person you had ever seen with your own two eyes. He strutted across the spacious living room. In all the years you had been over your best friend's house, you had never seen whoever this man was in her house. You were almost angry she didn't introduce you sooner.
“Who’s that?” you whispered, keeping your eyes on the unknown man sitting on the couch on the phone. He sat on the sofa with familiarity, lying on his side on the sectional.
“My brother,” Utahime said with disdain, scoffing while flipping through the magazine. You looked between them, trying to find some similarity in their features. Maybe they looked somewhat related if you looked long enough, but that was stretching it. “Step-brother,” she answered.
Nodding, you peeked back at her brother. He was better looking than all the male models in your magazine, which was now getting incredibly boring. “How uh old is he?” you asked, trying to come off the least bit suspicious. She giggled like she was expecting you to ask.
“20. Why? You got a crush on Satoru?” she whispered, snickering at you. Your hands quickly found her mouth, covering it just in case her brother heard. Something wet swiped across your palm, moving your hand back, you looked back in disgust, wiping the spit residue on your jeans. Satoru’s previous conversation on the phone ended as he set his phone on the coffee table. “Well, that sucks.” She sighed, looking off, avoiding your eyes.
“What, why?”
“Oh, I don't know…”
“C’mon, please!” you begged, coming up with the worst possible scenarios in your head. Is he gay? You could probably live with that. Is he a secret weirdo? That's okay, everyone is weird in their own way. The worst possible thing could be that he's married. Looking off at his hand now wrapped around the remote, empty, good. He's not wearing a ring, plus he's so young.
“Well, okay,” she grinned. “He's engaged, it's supposed to be secret, ‘kay?” In the 5 minutes and 37 seconds you have known of Satoru, your heart shattered. Your fantasy of a white picket fence, together married, crumpled into a ball, and thrown into a fire. Staring at her in disbelief, ready for her to say “sike,” but she never did, instead gossiping to you about Satoru’s secret relationship. Even though you were heartbroken from your extremely brief “crush,” you couldn't help but listen.
“Our parents really hate her, like seriously. Like three years ago, she came over, and she and Satoru were alone in his room.” She looked around the room before standing up and gathering the magazines. “Let's go upstairs.” Nodding, taking your bag off the floor, anxious for the rest of the story. Both of you dashed up the stairs, Satoru looking skeptical of the two of you, your feet pattering up the steps.
You sat on her bed in her room as she closed her bedroom door. “What happened?” you pleaded. What could his fiancée have possibly done to make their parents not like her so much? From what you've seen of them, her parents were so nice. They weren't even mad when Utahime failed gym, arguably the easiest class ever. She laughed, crawling on the bed towards you, lying on her stomach.
“Alright, so my dad walked in on them, and she had Satoru literally hanging out of his window.” You gaped, hanging on her every word. “They were arguing with Satoru for hours, even kicking Victoria out.”
“Is that his girlfriend, I mean fiancée?” you asked, happy at the sudden name drop. You were going to ask for her name anyway, but at least Utahime told you before you had to. She nodded, continuing on how he wouldn't tell them for weeks until he finally caved once they threatened to ban her from the house.
“They were trying to sneak out to go to his friend's party. You know how my parents are, no way was he getting out, and he snuck her over. He ended up getting grounded for a month,” she shrugged. You almost forgot he was old enough to even go to parties, even worse, they had been together for three years.
“Wait, so why don't they like her?” You questioned if she was already not allowed before the window incident, what happened to make them not like her in the first place? She whistled, looking around her room. She leaned in closer, lowering her volume. “I don't know much since they didn't tell me, but from what I know, they think she cheated on him a few times.” Your mouth dropped. How could you cheat on Satoru? Your dislike for her grew, which was previously only based on “Victoria” being Satoru’s fiancée, but was now fueled by the new information. “I know right! I still don't know if it's true or not, but they are engaged, so they worked it out somehow...” She shrugged, rolling her eyes.
“Woah, what are we gossiping about?” The bedroom door was open, with a very hot Satoru standing against the frame. It didn't seem like he was standing there long, at least not long enough to hear Utahime gossiping about his love life. He looked between the two of you before plopping on the bed.
“Oh my god, you still don't know how to knock?” She face-palmed, moving away from him. He laughed, it was music to your ears, shrugging as he looked back at you.
“Don't even miss your sweet big brother, you're harsh,” he sulked, wiping a fake tear from his dry eyes.
“I've missed you oh so very much,” she said with faux enthusiasm, “Are you done now?” she sighed, moving up towards the headboard and you. Even from across the bed, he smelled like vanilla, and somewhat of cookies too.
“Gosh, she's so mean, stay safe,” he warned, looking at you. Your face heated up at him, addressing you, he was so dreamy, it was driving you crazy. “What's your name? Utahime is so embarrassed by her brother that she didn't even introduce me. I'm Satoru,” he said, rolling off the bed, waiting for you to answer, but you were utterly speechless. Picking up on your situation, Utahime answered for you.
Pushing Satoru towards the door, “Okay, get out!” she pushed, trying to close the door on him, ignoring his constant pleas.
“Wait- remember our deal, right? I'll tell them later tonight, okay?” he said, holding the door open with his hands as her back was against it.
“Yeah, yeah, I remember to go now.” Finally pushing the door closed, barely missing his fingers. Turning the lock, waiting to hear his footsteps go back down the stairs. “God, he is so annoying!” she groaned, swiping off her leggings.
“And hot,” you blurted out. She looked at you in pure disgust, putting her finger toward her mouth in a puking motion. She sat back on the bed, fixing the bedding that Satoru had messed up.
“You're so gross, he's going to be back for a while because of spring break.” You nodded, making a mental note in your head to keep your hangouts at her house. For the rest of the afternoon, the two of you talked about mundane things before it was time for you to go home. Out the door, you took one last look at Satoru before leaving and getting in your parents' car.
Every time you went over to Utahime’s house during breaks, the anticipation that Satoru would be there filled your stomach with butterflies. She often joked that you were only her friend for her brother, which was entirely false and she knew that. By the time you were 16 with a boyfriend of your own, Satoru turned into a distant crush and something to laugh about with Utahime. Once you moved to college, you assumed you would probably never see him again unless it was with Utahime back home, but he rarely came over after he got married.
“I need a job,” you complained, sipping on your iced coffee that was becoming watery. Your last job fired you after ownership switched over, and you were struggling to find a new one. The cafe was relatively empty and was close to campus. You even tried applying here, but they denied your application.
Utahime, across from you, perked up, “You remember Satoru, right?” she asked, continuing to type on her computer. You nodded. He had become Utahime’s trump card whenever she wanted you to do something for a year and a half. “He moved around here recently, but he needs a babysitter. He asked me, but I'm too busy. Want me to ask? Pay is pretty good too,” She explained, telling you the days which were mostly weekends, Mondays, and Wednesdays.
Your eyes lit up, the days fit right in your schedule, and it wasn't for too long either. “How much and how many kids?” You asked, scrolling through your relatively empty calendar.
“50 an hour and it's just one.”
“Send me his number,” you replied quickly. You've had previous sitting experience, so this should be a piece of cake. If anything, you didnt even know he had a kid, but it was kind of to be expected since he and his wife had been together for so long. Grabbing her phone, a message popped up on your laptop showing the number she sent. Immediately, you added his number, preparing what to send.
Your finger rapidly typed against the keyboard, rereading the message, making sure it was professional enough and had no grammatical errors. The message was sent, and the delivered icon showed at the bottom of the text. “Wow, you're quick, you'll get it, don't worry. My nephew is good too,” she assured you, giving a thumbs-up from behind her computer.
Hopefully…there was no way you could go another week without some kind of income.
Sighing, you got back to studying, keeping an eye on your notifications for a message from Satoru. The rest of the session went on with the hope of a response in the back of your mind, pushing you to study more to get it off your mind. The orange glow of the sunset radiated through the café's wide windows. “I'm tired, let's get back.” You yawned, stretching your body on the chair. Taking off your glasses to let your eyes rest from looking at the screen of your laptop for hours on end. You wore them for blue light protection, especially for studying on days like this. Utahime agreed, jumping up in her seat to start packing up.
Gathering your things and placing them neatly back into your study bag, your phone vibrated on the table. ‘Yep, it's still open! Would you be okay coming over sometime this week for an interview?’ Doing a silent celebration in your head, you responded yes, telling him you were free anytime this week. ‘Awesome, let's do tomorrow at 3!’ he responded immediately. Your fingers typed back, ‘Thank you, and see you soon!’.
“Who are you texting?” Utahime smirked, peeking over at your phone.
“Your brother. I have an interview with him tomorrow.”
“Congrats, make sure to not flirt with my brother,” she quipped, pulling her bag over her shoulder. You were laughing behind her. That crush was so long ago, no way were you going to flirt with your potential boss, especially not when he's married with a kid.
Pulling into the driveway of the large house in front of you. There was even a fountain in the front! It was the address Satoru sent to you, there was only one car in the driveway, other than yours. Ringing the doorbell next to the large double doors with frosted glass. You could hear a bit of clattering and feet pattering before the door opened. Staring at the older man in front of you, you're glad you didn't make any promises with Utahime. He looked as gorgeous as ever, probably even more since the last time you saw him was a few years ago at Utahimes’ 18th birthday.
“You're here!” he said, opening the door wide and leading you in. “You can leave your shoes here.” You took off your shoes, placing them neatly on the shoe mat. “Thank you. You can have a seat on the coach over there,” he pointed towards the living room on your right. He sounded somewhat the same as you remember, still a little boyish but more mature, sexier. The house was beautiful, almost more than it was outside. Walking towards the living room, It had a large sofa with a coffee table across from it and a massive television attached to the wall.
Movie nights must be great. You wondered, sitting on the edge of the plush couch cushion. It took a few moments before Satoru came back. “Sorry, my son just left. I was cleaning up a bit, but I lost track of time.” He wiped off the back of his joggers, trying to look more presentable. “Alright, let's get started!” he sat down in a chair in front of you. He started asking you about your last jobs and handed him your printed resume showing all the job experience you've had. You were trying to pay attention to his questions, but your mind would annoyingly wander about how hot he was. Every few minutes, you would look around the room for family pictures. There was an interpretive painting on the wall, but that was it.
“My son is my pride and joy. If anything were to happen to him, I don't know what I would do.” his carefree tone throughout the interview turned serious. You nodded profusely, your hands getting sweaty on your lap, your back straightening. “It's okay, no need to be so nervous. I've been trying to find a sitter for weeks, my work has been getting a little demanding,” he chuckled, giving you a thumbs up. “50 an hour Monday and Wednesday, 6 to 10, and weekends 5 to 11. You're good, your resume looks fantastic. Do you have any questions for me?”
“How old is your son?”
“He's 10 months old,” he responded with a smile, “He is so adorable, I can show you a few pictures on my phone. Sae looks just like me,” he said, pridefully pulling his phone out of his pocket, his lock screen being a baby with white hair in a blanket asleep. He opened an album that seemed to be solely dedicated to his son. He showed you pictures, and he wasn't wrong; the kid looked identical to him.
“He's so cute, your twin.” You said, staring at the picture of him playing with a toy set. He agreed, looking fondly at the screen. He handed you a paper schedule explaining that he would let you know if there were any date changes, and that there was a feeding schedule on the fridge and where his food was.
“In the packet, it has everything from his favorite shows to his nap times,” he explained, showing you around the large home. It was ardently clear his son was the light of his life; he had a 10-page packet front to back dedicated to him. If anything, it was a bit obsessive, but you could understand. Leaving your child with someone gets scary, and being there is important even if it's the exact spot of the bed where the baby sleeps best.
Very thorough.
“That should be everything, are you good this weekend?” he asked, with a pleading look in his eye. You were going to go clubbing but you can always do that some other time. Once the words ‘yes’ fell out of your mouth, he gave you a stream of thank yous.
“You're a saint,” he said your name, the way it rolled off his tongue, tickled your brain in a way it shouldn't. He was a very married man with a kid. Maybe your hormones were weird, he was completely off limits, and even worse, he was Utahimes' brother. He let you out of his tight embrace, his demeanor uplifted.
“I'll see you this weekend!” he said, seeing you off to your car. You unlocked the car door as he opened it for you. You must be ovulating the way you tried to tear your eyes away from his arms traveling downward…”Drive safely.” He grinned, watching you get inside the driver's seat.
“Thank you so much for today! I'll see you Saturday.” Putting your car in reverse, you waved back at him as he walked back to the house. This job would take a lot of self-control, but you hoped that once the kid was with you, then the professional switch in your brain would finally click.
The next few days were a blur. Saturday morning, Satoru sent you a confirmation text, making sure you were still coming. It almost makes you wonder why he struggled so much to find a sitter. The pay was good and the hours weren't bad, even better, it's a baby. Utahime said he lived close, but it was almost a 30-minute drive to his house, so you had to get ready early, wearing some yoga pants and a zip-up hoodie. Nice enough to be considered suitable but also comfortable.
You sang along to the songs playing in your car as you drove a damn near half hour to Satoru’s house, but it's okay, at least his face made up for it. When you pulled into the driveway, there was another car, other than Satoru’s. Must be his wife. You sighed, you knew at some point you would need to meet her. Even after all these years, you'd never seen her face, not even a picture. Getting out of the car, grabbing your bag, the thick packet tucked safely in a folder.
“Bye, sweetie, mommy loves you.” A woman with long hair bent down, kissing Sae on the forehead before walking past you completely. It surprised you, you would assume that the parent would like to meet the new babysitter. Guess not. Not even a ‘hi’ or ‘hello’?! Satoru waved goodbye to her as she entered her vehicle.
Satoru called your name as you looked at the woman in the car. Your imagination had come up with many possibilities of what she could have looked like, especially since Sae took after Satoru so much. His genes were strong as hell. She was beautiful and looked sophisticated; they were a cute couple. You were almost jealous, but you had other things to worry about, like your job. “Sorry, here I come.”
He was already dressed in a business suit, “I have to go, but thank you and I'll see you at 11,” he rambled, giving the baby one last kiss, “I'll miss you so much, be good, okay.” He waved once more before rushing to his car.
“It's just me and you.” You spoke to the baby, who looked at you confused. “Oh, right.” You introduced yourself to Sae, who played on the strings of your jacket as you held him. You brought him inside, checking the clock, he still had an hour until snack time.
You played with him on his building blocks until nap time. You were pretty surprised as he didn’t cry, he was a smiley baby if anything.
Sae was literally his father's clone. Same eyes, hair, and even his chubby baby hands. No DNA test was needed for the father at least…mother was a different story. They had little to no resemblance; you almost questioned if she was the mother in the first place. Perhaps it's because you were used to Satoru’s face, it was the only one you could see.
The baby started drooling at the commercials on the screen of his room's television; looking at the time, it was already snack time.
Crouching down to pick him up, you noticed a picture on the diaper cabinet with a Polaroid picture of Sae, Satoru, and his wife. They looked like a happy family grinning ear to ear in the picture. You smiled to yourself, someday, you did want a family of your own, but first, you needed to finish your last year in college and handle your job once you graduate. For now, all you could do was fantasize. Carefully going down the grand staircase with the child on your hip.
You opened the fridge, and it was packed full of healthy food, a few packed lunches sitting on the top shelf, and baby food right next to it. Grabbing the unsweetened yogurt and a baby spoon out of one of the drawers. As Sae ate, you watched the sunset from the windows. After this, it would be nap time according to the packet, and a note stated that he liked to sleep next to someone. You giggled, imagining Satoru lying next to Sae, both napping together; you'd bet Satoru had a picture of that too.
Once he was done, you washed the spoon in the sink, rinsing the bubbles from the sponge and dish soap. Getting the baby from the booster, you took him back up to his room, sitting on the grey recliner next to the crib. Sae started yawning, lying on your chest, as a children's show on Netflix played on the television on the wall.
After the first episode, he went to sleep, spittle pooling on your jacket. He was so cute it hurt. Seeing how he was today, it would be an easy job, the hardest part being his father. Grabbing the remote, you decided to put on one of the shows you were watching recently. You clicked on the guest account, typing the show into the search bar. Pressing play on the last episode you watched, skipping the recap and intro. The volume was turned down low enough that it wouldn’t wake little gojo lying on you, a blanket draped over him.
Occasionally, he would shift in his sleep, turning over onto your arm, giving you a little more room to move. Your phone rang on the table next to you, quickly grabbed it so it wouldn't wake the baby. “Hello?” you whispered into the phone. You hadn't even checked who the caller was.
“Aw, you guys look so cute,” a familiar voice said over the phone. You could see he had a pout through the phone almost. You stifled a giggle, looking toward the camera in the corner of the room, pointing at both of you. You waved with your hand. “Hello to you too, just checking in. It's nap time, so I assumed he was asleep,” he stated. You looked at the camera, knowing he was watching through the cameras.
“Yeah, he's been great,” you muttered, keeping the small blanket on Sae. You were becoming a little cold, your legs crossed to keep in what little heat you had.
“That's good, I was a little worried he would be shy around you, but you're getting along great. I knew you would be perfect.” Your face began to heat up from the compliment, but you tried not to take it any other way than professionally. “What are you watching?” he asked, on the phone. It sounded like he was in a quiet area.
“It's grown-ish, don't worry, I'm on the guest account,” you answered, Satoru chuckling through the phone. “What?” you questioned, wondering what he could be laughing about.
“Are you even old enough to watch that?” he joked, watching your reaction through the camera.
“I'm 23, not 12.” You scoffed, your arms were becoming stiff under the baby’s weight. Gently, you moved him to the side of your phone to switch places.
“God, you make me sound old,”
“You're 29, that's not too bad.” You yawned. It was almost 9 and you were also a little sleepy, even though all you'd done all day was sit if you could even call it that, when it was so easy.
“I'm surprised you remember how old I am.” You had a feeling he was about to bring up some embarrassing memories. “Oh yeah, sorry about today, I meant to stay a bit to make sure he did well but I got caught up with Victoria.”
“No, it's okay, I understand.” Your eyes watered from how tired you were.
“He's not waking up as long as you're under him; he puts me to sleep every time.” He said he heard the tiredness in your voice.
“I couldn't do that, definitely not on the first day.” You pushed yourself awake. No way were you going to fall asleep on the job, that would be too embarrassing.
“Whatever you say, Captain,” he laughed. “Oh, I have to go now, I'll see you late tonight if you're not asleep.” You were going to reply but he hung up. Looking at your phone, you might as well check and see if anyone texted you. Utahime did, but you might as well call her, she is such a slow texter, it'll take her 3 years to text you back. The phone rang 4 times before she picked up.
“How is it going over there?” She asked, breathing into the phone. It sounded like she was at the gym. You could hear Sae’s soft snoring, which you're sure was getting picked up through the phone. “Didn't admit your undying love for Satoru yet, did you?” she sneered. You rolled your eyes. If only he weren't married.
“It's going good, and no, I did not. I just got off the phone with him before I called you,” you whispered, keeping the phone propped up on your neck. She whistled through the phone background machinery and chatter in her background.
“At my party, you couldn't even look him in the face, now you're holding his kid. Couple goals!” Utahime quipped before cursing into the phone. You tried holding in your laughter, kids without sleep weren't fun, and you did not want to see what Sae was like without one.
“That's what you get.”
“Shut up, this fucking stairmaster is hell.” She grunted, perceiving through whatever “hell” she was going through. You continued to talk to her about your day, keeping an eye on the time, and the sleeping child on your arm. Your bodies lay comfortably on the recliner, waiting for time to pass and for you to get into your own bed. By the time you got off the phone with her, it was already 10:30.
It was late, so Sae was officially asleep for the night. Carefully getting up, you placed the baby inside the crib, lying on the soft mattress.
“I'm home!” Satoru cheered, giggling at the keys from downstairs and opening the oak doors. Your stuff was already packed, ready to go home and sleep. “I brought food,” he smiled, holding up a brown bag. You were going to eat a cup of ramen noodles at home, but it wouldn't hurt to eat here. Free food is free food!
Settling at the island in the kitchen, you climbed to the top of one of the stools. He pulled out two plastic containers of Chinese food, the aroma filling your nose. “Got it on my way back.” You waited for him to start eating first as he mixed the ingredients together. The food was surprisingly good and still warm. Looking between your containers, you noticed he got you the same thing as him.
“You have good taste.” It wasn't just a compliment on his taste in food but rather everything from his home to his wife. Hell, he even had the good Q-tips. He perked up his brows, furrowing as he swallowed the rest of his food.
“Where do you think Utahine gets it from?” he smirked. “If I didn't take over the business, I would totally do that new age influencer thing,” he said, taking a large bite out of the rest of his food. You weren't even half finished. You knew his family was rich but nothing about a business. Maybe someday down the line, you'll ask for a raise.
“What would your employees do without you?” you joked, stretching your legs, yawning into your hands. Finishing your food, Satoru talked endlessly about his employees. One thing you did remember about Satoru was that he talked a lot.
“Poor Ijichi needs a vacay,” he sulked, throwing the plastic containers into the waste bin. The conversation felt so natural and so comforting. It had been a while since you talked to anyone other than close friends.
“You could send him on vacation,” he stared at you, considering your suggestion as though he hadn't thought about that.
“You're right. I could.” He took off his suit jacket, only wearing the white button-up. “Wanna help me come up with some places? I was thinking somewhere warm.” Alone with him any longer? Too dangerous.
“Maybe next time,” you looked between him and the clock. The drive would be long enough to clear your mind of these indecent thoughts.
“Oh right, campus is quite the drive.” he offered to drive you home but you denied getting into your car. The drive alone was something you needed. Wishing him a goodnight he watched you drive off your headlight illuminating the dark empty street.
The next few shifts with Sae and Satoru became your routine. After a month you didn't even need to refer to the packet when it was time for the baby's bath time and which particular order to use his soaps. That small part of you sensed that innocent crush slowly resurfaced the more contact with Satoru. When his gaze lingered for a little too long you figured you were imagining it but some part of you wished you were right. He'd bring the both of you food at the end of your shift even sharing the rest of your food only after he finished begging for a bite even though it's the exact same thing as what he had.
11:15 pm
The jingling of keys opened the door carefully. “I'm home…” there was no response or patterning of feet coming down the staircase. Empty and quiet. Unusual.
Going upstairs, Sae's room was empty and the light shut off. Worry started to fill Satoru’s mind. The house was way too quiet and you and Sae were nowhere to be seen. Calling your name frantically checking every room upstairs before going to the 1st floor. Turning the corner he was met with your sleeping bodies slump on the couch. Sae lay on your chest, he let out a long sigh, closing the call app on his phone.
The image was too cute to handle, too domestic to think about too much. From an outside perspective, you looked like a mother napping with his baby. Quickly grabbing his phone without a second thought he took a picture of the two of you lying there resisting the urge to utter an audible “aww”.
As cute as you both looked it couldn't have been comfortable. Silently he picked Sae up, taking him upstairs to his crib. When he returned downstairs you were still asleep changing positions curled up on the sofa.
Picking your pliant body up holding you in his arms as he traveled upstairs. He debated between his room and the guest room. Currently, the guest room has been turned into temporary storage. His room it is. He tried desperately to ignore your hand that was grasping his chest. Carefully setting your body on his mattress draping the lush duvet over your body. Drool had slipped through your plush lips taking his thumb he wiped the residue going just a little too slow taking in how soft your cheek was. His thumb grazed your bottom lip, the corners of your mouth twitched making him retreat, yanking his hand away.
Too close…
Looking down the imprint of his cock strained against his slacks. He was sleeping on the couch. There was no way he could lay in the same bed as you, not like this. He could barely keep his hands to himself when you sat across from him telling him about your day.
Ever since the moment you stepped inside his home, he knew he had to practice self-control; sitting in the car watching you through the security cameras as you walked through the house as if you lived there. Memorizing the rooms, no longer needing to wander aimlessly trying to find the bathroom.
Stepping into the shower connected to his room letting the frigid stream travel down his body trying to tame his hard-on. His mind started to race with the image of you with his child ring on your finger tied to him forever. The thought alone had him wrapping his hand around his cock in slow strokes.
Depictions of you filling his mind the way your ass looked in those gray flare pants or how prettily your tits looked in a square cut top. It wasn't even that low cut, however, just the tiniest bit of cleavage peeking through. Suddenly, his imagination conjured an image of you pregnant with his kid's stomach round and large. Spurts of cum splattered on the shower tiles.
Fuck.
When you awoke, there was no longer a child lying on your stomach, and you were way too comfortable. The room looks unfamiliar, and the bed is too large to be your own. Turning your attention to the sound of a shower running and turning off. The room lights were dimmed, making it easier for your eyes to focus. The door in the corner of the room opened, and your eyes widened. Satoru stood there with only a pair of pajama pants on and a towel drying his hair.
“Oh, I’m sorry-”
“No, it's okay I thought you were…asleep,” he said, opening a few drawers and grabbing some clothes. You watched him attentively, droplets of water from his hair dripping onto the floor. The muscles of his back moved as he dug through the drawer grabbing a fluffy blanket. On the nightstand, there was a framed picture of Sae dressed as an elf. So it was Satoru’s room.
“Where are you going?” you asked as Satorg opened the door to the hallway. He looked surprised holding his blanket exiting the room.
“Downstairs..”
“Why?” pulling the cover off you got up your top was slightly hiked up, showing a sliver of your midsection. “You could sleep in here,”
“But you're in here?” You looked at him confused. You were both adults. There was nothing wrong with being in a room together, alone.
“I have to go home anyway.” Getting up, you fixed the cover, pulling it back over the mattress.
“It's already late you might as well stay here.” he protested, he wasn't wrong it was already 12 and to be honest you really didn't feel like driving especially not when Satoru was shirtless in front of you, a small blush tinting his complexion. “So it's settled, you stay up here I go downstairs.”
“It's your room, I can't kick you out. Just stay here”
“You're a guest, it's too uncomfortable for you to sleep there.” one thing the couch wasn't was uncomfortable, but sure if he insisted.
“We can just sleep together then.” You didn't mean for it to come out the way it did, prepared to say never mind and beat him downstairs to reflect on what you said.
“Okay.” you didn't expect him to say yes, thankfully (unfortunately?) he didn't take what you said the wrong way and climbed into the bed after changing into his clothes in the bathroom. He peeled the cover back, opening a spot for you to lay down. Lying down putting the cover over yourself staring at Satoru’s back in front of you. The only thing separating you is the blanket between you. The air was thick with heat, whether, from the heavy blanket or the tension between you, you weren’t sure.
Your senses were hyper-aware of every crinkle in the bed trying to force yourself asleep. Closing your eyes but only images of Satoru’s bare chest moist and glistening from his shower. Your body was stiff against the bed hoping you didn't make any movements. The man next to you wouldn't notice how hot your body was growing or worse the heat developing in your panties.
Swiftly Satoru turned over facing you, his cerulean eyes examining your expression. You prayed that in the dark room, he couldn't see the way your eyes traveled to his lips, they looked so soft, delicate. His body seemed a lot closer than when you first laid down if you focused you could feel the faint air from his breathing. You could move over and prevent whatever impulsivity that you would possibly regret, any longer you would surely act on.
Your body inched just a little closer enough that you could see his individual lashes. They were long and full, guys always had nice lashes but his were as beautiful as the rest of his face, they complimented his eyes. So pretty. At least you ten years ago had taste.
“You think I'm pretty?” he said staring back at you, you would've been embarrassed but you were too distracted by the way his Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke. “You're pretty too…” he moved some of your hair out of your face. You would really regret this later.
Before you even realized what you were doing, you reached for him, your lips brushing his. It was tentative at first, just a small touch. But then Satoru’s hand found your head, and the kiss deepened, slow but undeniable. Your fingertips grazed his chest feeling the soft skin. His hands traveled down your bag, his touch electric against your skin sending shivers up your spine. Crawling onto his lap, your hands feeling to his skin every dip and curve. His hands wandered down your top slipping under to touch your skin. Your lips were intoxicating as he drank in the kiss pulling back only to breathe.
His pupils were staring at your figure above him, he resisted the urge to rut his hips against yours for friction. Your hands were exploring his body groping wherever you could. The kiss was fervent basking in the way you tasted; you were so perfect. Suddenly you pulled back your face full of horror.
“This is so wrong-”
“I'm not that bad of a kisser-” he grazed his lips confused. That wasn't the problem, he was good too good. If you didn't pull back now you're afraid you wouldn't have.
“You're married!” you cried whispering so that Sae 3 doors down wouldn't hear. Satoru's face dropped into a look of humor holding a hand over his mouth. “This is not funny, I can't be a homewrecker!” you began to crawl off of him, tears welling in your eyes in the shame of the situation. His hand found you pulling you back on his lap. He held you tight in his arms, shushing your constant pleas.
“I got divorced months ago,” he stated plainly, your body was still in his arms as he rocked you. This entire time it was one of the many reasons preventing you from pouncing on him. He cupped your face close to his pecking your lips, wiping the salty tears from your face. “Thought you picked up on that already, guess not.” pinching your cheeks you wrapped your legs around him.
Now the only renewed fever pressing his lips onto yours. Your breaths came out sharp and unrestrained, your chests rising. Your bodies pressed flush, every point of contact burning, like you could consume each other if you would. His name escaped your lips in ragged whispers. Dragging your shirt off revealing the Victoria's Secret bra underneath. His hands wrapped around your waist keeping you balanced as he leaned back letting your hips rock against his. The fabric separating the two of you was becoming unbearable. Your clothes were too hot.
Your fingertips traced fervid lines down his abs and abdomen. His hands swiftly unclipped the hooks of your bra letting it fall off your shoulders and throwing it somewhere on the floor. Flipping you over your body jolting against the mattress, hastily pulling off your leggings and drenched panties in one go. He pushed your knees back watching how slick spilled out your pussy. Taking a finger collecting some that was dripping down sucking in his finger. You were going to drive him crazy.
Plunging his fingers inside your walls contracting at the intrusion sucking him in. The loud squelching of your pussy echoed through the room. You tried stifling your moans holding a hand over your mouth, your hips rocked back on his fingers as they roughly plunged in and out of you. You felt that tight core build up in your stomach until you came on his fingers, your toes curling in the air.
He had you folded your knee and touch the bed beneath you, pinned to the bed as he cock aligned with your hole easing in slowly. You gasped, eyes rolling in the back of your head. The stretch was so immense it almost hurt but the pleasure was too good. Once he bottomed out he waited for your walls to adjust to him. He cursed, rubbing languid around your clit. It was so hard keeping your voice in his agonizingly slow thrusts almost like he was testing how much you could take. Biting your lip keeping what sounds that wanted to escape your mouth in.
“That's good, you're so good,” he whispered, watching how his girth stretched your cunt swallowing every inch.
“F-faster- I can take it.” you moaned clenching around him desperate with more; as he pulled out glancing between your face and the soaking mess of your hole. Readily he pulled out before slamming into you knocking the air out your lungs. The pace was brutal. With every thrust his tip kissed your cervix, making him incredibly deep within you.
“Shit don't look at me like that might want to put a baby in you,” you were too out of it to tell if he was joking or not but you didn't care.
“Do it!” You cried out his name, the weight of hips thrusting into your heat had your core building up another orgasm. His velvet voice whispered in your ear. Your mind was too cloudy to make out what he said, it didn't matter. You moaned out a hushed yes.
The way your gummy walls wrapped around him he could stay like this forever, drilling into your heat. The way your tits bounced he could imagine them full of milk ready to be freed, the thought of a condom didn't even cross either of your minds. If he didn't slow down he'd paint your walls full of cum without a second thought. He muttered out praises drunk off your pussy.
“Fuck- hngh I’m so close,” you whimpered your hands gripping the sheets as his pace continued. Your walls constricted around him gushing on cock. Your body spasmed a silent scream leaving your lips as you came. He groaned at how tight you were making small thrusts letting you ride out your orgasm. Thank god he and his ex divorced. You don't know if you'll ever give up the high you're on.
“ Baby don't cry, remember you have to be quiet,” he wiped the wet tears from your eyes as he chased his own orgasm. His fingers left bruises on the back of your thighs keeping your body pinned to the mattress. His cock twitched inside of you, his cock pulverizing your insides. Little droplets of water dripped onto the mattress and your stomach, his hair still a little wet. Your face was so fucked out he couldn't help but stare drinking in your expression. “You can do it- hah I'm close.” he moaned, pressing your body further into the mattress impossibly digging deeper inside of you.
“Don't pull out, ngh- cum in me please!” you pleaded your hands grasping his biceps, your doe-eyed begging him to cum your sweet pussy holding him hostage above you. How could he say no? Almost instantly with one last thrust, his cock punctured into your hole stuffing your insides. Your eyes rolled back the warm liquid filling your womb. It was so satisfying the little moans Satoru let out keeping your body in place as he came.
“Don't move, I want to see how much you can fit. It'd suck for it to fall out.”

You always thought Gojo Satoru disliked you, or at the very least, tolerated you with polite indifference. You knew you were the weakest link in your circle, and he never let you forget it through his careful avoidance. So when disaster struck and you were tasked with the care of a feline Satoru, you couldn’t help but feel the uncomfortable tension between tufts of fur.
Somewhere amidst the destroyed furniture, the 3 AM zoomies, and the way those impossibly blue eyes watch your every move, you start to wonder if you'd read him wrong all along. And when he finally does change back, you realize the real curse might be trying to defer to the way things were.
There has never been a curse-related obstacle Satoru Gojo could not face on his own. It was not hyperbole to claim he was the strongest among you, the best equipped to come out unscathed from a battle.
So how was it, exactly, that he was stood before you, amidst your couch cushions, a near six feet shorter, with copious amounts of fur coalescing into a large white ball?
Perhaps it would help to take a step back, to trace the thread of events that led you here.
--
Late afternoon sunlight slanted through the school's courtyard, warming your spot on the bench when you got the call.
Shoko's voice pulled you to your feet with a single word: emergency.
You needed to come to her office immediately, she had said. You had stood upright against the gentle wind, gauging the seriousness of the situation. She had insisted urgency, but her voice had betrayed her, staccato giggles, words stretched tight with suppressed amusement.
Shoko did not giggle.
You had made an attempt at getting the details, but none were granted. Very little information had been given by the time you had swept up your bag and rushed to your friend's office. Shoko greeted you at the door, her lips pursed in a tentative fashion.
When you rounded the corner into her lab, you immediately saw Suguru, his back slumped against a chair with an arm stretched up high, covering his eyes.
The room was filled with a tension you don't think you've ever felt before. Something uneasy, balancing on the edge of fear and elation.
"What is it?" Perhaps you had read Shoko's cadence wrong, perhaps she hadn't been laughing, perhaps this was serious.
Suguru removed his arm from his face, revealing an embarrassed smile. He tilted his head in the direction of the lab counter.
And that's when you saw him.
"Shoko!!" You gasped.
Halfway out of the infirmary sink, struggling with admirable determination, was a large white cat. Long-haired and distinctly out of sorts. The creature regarded you with a massive set of blue eyes.
You shrank in on yourself, finding it impossible to not encroach on the creatures space. You took careful steps closer, not wanting to scare it. You spoke softly.
"Where did you find it?"
Suguru leaned forward in his chair onto his knees, "Oh, just on our mission." The statement fell flat at the end, deliberately unimpressed.
You studied the creature a moment and turned to look at Suguru. "No collar? But the coat is so clean? Surely not a stray..." You turned your attention back on the pair of them. Suguru and Shoko leaned into each other, echoing in turn, "Surely not."
You squinted. "What is it?"
Something was off. You could feel it in the way Suguru's withheld laughter kept threatening to escape, in how Shoko's gaze slid away from yours like it never had before. You should've known better; Suguru would have never just brought back a random animal he had found on a mission.
You slowed yourself, "Why did you bring me here?"
Suguru shook his head, waving a finger in the cat's direction. "What? You don't recognize him?" Shoko smacked his shoulder, and you whipped your head around.
The cat was stretched out all pretty within the sink basin, fur catching the lab light in an almost pearlescent, bluish tinge. A paw was repeatedly reaching out to attempt purchase on the counter's edge, only until it seemed to wobble a bit on uncertain legs. Each time those fuzzy toes found the rim, they would slide on the slick epoxy exterior. A resounding bonk ensued from the effort.
"Oh dear..." You drew nearer.
Cats were typically quite agile; this poor thing certainly seemed to be out of its element. As you came close, you were taken aback by just how luminescent his eyes appeared. You'd never seen anything with eyes that blue...except maybe for one man...
You shudder and whip around. Suguru’s teasing tone stuck in your mind.
What? You don't recognize him?
"No..."
"Oh, yes." Suguru finally allowed himself to laugh.
"You're kidding?" You took a step back, "That's... Satoru?" A loud wail followed from the sink. "Oh my gosh!" Your head bolted to look again, and you staggered back some more.
"Oh, come on, Gojo, you can get out of there." Shoko took a cigarette from her bag and ushered you to sit down.
"What is happening? How did this happen? What...What?" You kept looking around the room in hopes of something making sense, but you were granted no reprieve. You wanted to believe this was some kind of joke, but Shoko looked too serious then, and Suguru never thought himself this funny.
The cat continued to howl from the sink. "I can't answer your questions, not really, at least." Shoko put her face in her palm and looked at you. "Curse. You know that much. I really can't tell if this will last, but I called you here for a reason." She was offering you a cigarette, which you politely declined.
"I... hope that reason was to gawk at him because there's nothing I can do to help...you know that, right?"
"Would you shut up?" Suguru dragged himself up to his feet now to get Gojo to stop with his cries. When he attempted to extricate the furry body from the sink, however, Suguru jerked back with a hiss.
"Ouch... cut that out."
Gojo's newly acquired claws sank into Suguru's knit sweater, puncturing the flesh beneath. Suguru promptly yanked the feline away and dropped him to the floor. The angry red marks on his forearms served as proof of the attack.
If Gojo had been talkative before, that was only exacerbated tenfold in his new form.
"No, no, actually, there is a way you can help." Shoko was then tugging on your sleeve to draw your attention back to her again. "Listen, this is bigger than we realize."
"You think?" Your eyes roll. The strongest sorcerer the world had got had been reduced to a mewling cub, unable to even get himself out of a sink. "What exactly am I supposed to do?"
Suguru had taken the liberty of dragging a chair over to sit with you both. "I'm glad you asked." He grinned, waggling his foot to get Gojo to stop trying to crawl up him.
This was all just a little too much to wrap your head around. You sat, uncomfortably waiting to hear what their plan was.
“Yeah... so, we're gonna need you to take him in."
There was a pause when you huffed a little chuckle in response. That moment of silence passed before you sank into your chair. "Wait....are you serious?"
Shoko waggled the cigarette in your face once more. "I can't do that! I don't know the first thing about turning cursed humans back into sorcerers!"
"Yeah, me neither. And that's my job right now. We just need you to keep an eye on him... you know...while he's... like that." It was a bit comical how you all leaned over to catch a glimpse of the man in question.
Those huge, round eyes were hard to read; he had taken a collection of moments without making any noise, something that had already started to concern you all.
As it would turn out, Gojo didn't like you all talking about him while he was right there with you. In a moment, those tufts of ears were pulled back, his tail swooshing aggressively before he pounced onto the counter you were all seated at.
"Why couldn't you have done that while you were in the sink, huh?" Suguru glared at the cat before he could go back to that ungodly sound.
You all paused to watch him for a moment. Gojo seemed like he just couldn't take up enough space, calling out loudly to anything that would listen, every so often falling onto his side and rolling about for a moment before flipping back up and circling the table's edge again.
"Why...why is this my responsibility?" You didn't want to sound like a pouty child, but seriously, could nobody else cat-sit for a little while? How did this task land on you? You weren't even close with the man.
"Who else comes to your mind? Seriously, if you have somebody you know who would keep him, shoot them a text." Shoko nudged Gojo's face away from her when he started to headbutt her arm before continuing, "I'd ask someone in Kyoto, but you know that's too close to the higher-ups. I don't think I have to explain why nobody can know about this."
You shook your head, imagining what would happen if it got out that Gojo Satoru was incapacitated like this.
"No." You twiddled your thumbs for a moment. Shoko didn’t even look desperate; she looked like it had been settled. No argument passed your lips; none of it had even felt real. "So... what exactly is this going to look like?"
And so they laid out the plan while you wondered quietly how much planning they had done without you, knowing you would say yes.
-Shoko was going to research homo transformation, its effects, and potential reversal with the hope of figuring everything out before she was tasked with her annual report in Kyoto these coming weeks
-Suguru was going to continue as usual, taking on the missions Gojo couldn’t while trying to find the curse that was able to cause this and get away
-Yaga would be spinning the idea that Satoru was out of the country, a believable alibi for when the higher-ups came knocking
-And you, your responsibility would be having the strongest sorcerer locked away in your one-bedroom apartment as you desperately attempted to keep him alive
--
And that is how you found yourself here, sat awkwardly next to Satoru Gojo on your couch, something you would have never guessed could happen, especially not given the current circumstances.
It had taken a lot of coaxing to get Gojo into the cat carrier earlier today. How the two of you wound up at your doorstep awaiting a delivery of cat food, toys, and litter was beyond you.
It was fair to say that the day had not shaped up as you had anticipated at all.
By the time you had dragged everything into your place and unzipped the carrier, it was clear that your guest was not exactly pleased with the situation. Gojo had initially skittered forward, gnawing loosely at your ankles to force your attention down to him.
You two had never been super close, you and Gojo. Not for lack of trying on your end.
Gojo Satoru had always been so friendly and outgoing with others, and it's not that he wasn't polite with you, just that he never seemed to put in the same amount of time into your friendship.
Where he would tease Nanami, he would send you a slight smile, where he would relentlessly bother Shoko, he would spare you a few quick glances, and where he laughed loudly with Suguru, he would occasionally include you in awkward conversation.
It was evident from the start that he didn't think you were important enough for his time.
He wouldn't say that, of course not, he might not even think it, but by the way he became uncharacteristically avoidant around you, it was clear he preferred the company of those stronger, even if they would never be on his level.
You had always been resigned to the knowledge that he just...didn't like you very much.
It wouldn't be wrong to claim you were the weakest among your close circle. Sometimes, you even felt as though you didn't belong in the grade one rank. Gojo would pester Utahime about being semi-grade one, but still turn away when you met his gaze. It seemed you were just that unimpressive to him.
But here he was. Gnawing at your ankle.
He must be terribly upset about all of this. Needing to be in your care, the protection of someone he deemed so beneath him.
"Gojo.." You tried to shake him off. Unsure of how to even begin assessing the situation and handling the new dynamic.
--
Satoru had no idea what was going on. Not really. It was hard to pay any real attention to the words people were saying when he was too consumed with the fact that they were ignoring him.
There was something humiliating about being dragged to and fro without any care for his thoughts. He was sure that if Suguru had just tried hard enough, he would've been able to understand what he wanted to get across.
He was bordering on desperation, trapped within the confines of your living room. You, someone he had known from childhood but hardly knew anything about. Of course, his two closest friends would put you up to the task of being his live-in human, would it have taken that much begging to get Nanami to agree to it?.... Maybe so, but you?!
His neck was hurting, already strained from having to look up so much. He felt practically blind right now, what with his range being 10 inches off the ground. And worst of all, he couldn't even complain about it!
Satoru found himself racing around your apartment. Doing what he could to just get you away from him. Damn Suguru. Of course, he would send him here, to live with you.
The last thing he wanted was for you to feel burdened by his presence, especially considering he had spent the better half of his acquaintance with you in avoidance and the fact that he wasn't even himself at the moment.
"Gojo? Are you...okay? Where did you go?" You shuffled into the room he had escaped to, slowly, perhaps thinking you had startled him or something.
He was hidden beneath a large slab of furniture, pawing at himself embarrassingly, trying to get a feel for this new body he was trapped in.
He looked down, but all he could see were his back legs stretched out. He pawed at the ceiling above him, turning his "hands" before his face, watching as he stroked them down his furry front.
"Umm.." Satoru heard you crouch, "Do you maybe wanna come out? I can show you... around... or like, show you a mirror? Have you seen yourself yet? Do you... even understand me right now?"
You rambled on, squating down to try and see him, but for some reason, that made the whole situation worse. Eventually, by some force he could not control, Satoru scuttled out, something primal calling him to attack your sock.
The moment he took the first nibble, he froze, eyes wide, back feet in the air, attempting to kick you frantically.
What was wrong with him?
"Are you okay? Gojo...what are you doing?"
Your hands tentatively reached out. He was still, in shock, it would seem, but your soft touch lit something in him. You pulled him up into your arms, holding him at an awkward distance.
Never before in his life could Satoru Gojo recall being held. Never before had he allowed it.
Yes, he found himself repeating, yes, I know what you're saying.
"Okay, okay, I'm putting you down, I'm sorry." You retracted yourself quickly, plopping his body on what must have been a mattress. Satoru realized immediately that he must have just been hiding beneath your bed just a moment ago.
"Sorry...sorry, okay." He watched you spin around in your room, mumbling to yourself. He wasn't sure why you were apologizing. You slid yourself to your knees, crouching at his level, resting your chin on your duvet. "Gojo...I'm gonna test this, okay?"
Satoru sighed, paused for a moment to think, and wiggled himself nearer to you, lying flat so your faces were close to each other.
You speak in a hush, "If you know what I'm saying, nod your head."
He sits up. Nods.
"Oh... God, okay, now raise your hand- er..paw..." He follows.
"Gojo... this isn't a prank. You're really in there?"
Yes!! He tried to tell you, but, frustratingly, you didn't seem to hear him.
You leaped up from the ground suddenly, "Oh my gosh... you're talking to me!" You pointed at him, as if it were the strangest thing ever.
He meowed in what you assumed was a very exasperated tone
You really were not sure what to do. At least you knew now that the curse had not erased Gojo's ability to understand human language.
After a short period of trying to communicate, you ushered Gojo to leap up onto your vanity, allowing him to take a good look in the mirror. The yowl that followed was both pitiful and indignant. If you hadn't known this was embarrassing for him, you would have found it more amusing.
--
By evening, you were starting to grow restless with the idea of keeping him. You had yet to be provided with a bed for Gojo, something you weren't sure how to handle. Every time you tried to get him to settle down on your own bed, he would race up again, seemingly upset you couldn't understand whatever he was trying to communicate. His tail would lash, those impossibly blue eyes would narrow, and another series of frustrated meows soon followed.
It had already been late afternoon when you were tasked with his care; now, it was fully dark outside.
Strange as it seemed, you would have never thought to touch Satoru Gojo so comfortably, but in this new body of his, it seemed only natural.
So, in the same way a parent coaxes a fussy toddler to lie down for an afternoon nap by lying down beside them, you eventually wooed Satoru to rest by allowing yourself to doze right next to him.
You did keep a respectful distance, of course, but your presence seemed to calm him. That fear of not being understood eventually subsided with the crickets chirping. And within minutes, his agitated movements slowed, then stopped altogether.
--
When you awoke some time later, there was a dull ache in your side from having fallen asleep sitting up. Your duvet was ruffled cutely around your new visitor, his white fur catching the amber glow of your bedside lamp filtering through the shade. His little furry chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm.
You stopped to study him for a moment, this mighty sorcerer reduced to something so small and vulnerable. It felt wrong, somehow, to see him like this. Wrong, but also oddly precious in a way you didn't want to examine too closely.
--
You had known Gojo in high school; he hadn't changed too much since, but you could still recall a time when the boy would complain about his endless duties, and even then, you knew he hadn't just been dramatic for the fun of it.
"Yeah, they keep getting on my case about mastering Domain Expansion before I'm seventeen," he'd groaned to Suguru one evening. "As if I'm not already the strongest," he rolled his eyes behind those silly circular glasses, "like, I'm some kind of machine they could just program."
The six of you had settled beside each other on the grass the night before winter break. You can recall how cold it had been, the harsh wind freezing you, but you had wanted to come out and see everyone before the new year.
You had been close enough to each other that your knee had almost brushed against his, and everything had been very still. You didn't want to break the spell that was keeping him in your proximity.
"True that it's not fair," Suguru had sighed, leaning back onto his palms, "I doubt the elders see any of us as people," he continued, his voice carrying that particular edge it got when he was trying to console someone without embarrassing them. "So... that's why it's our job to do it for them-" Satoru cut him off with a groan, fingers tangling messily in the grass between you.
When you'd looked over to see your upperclassman rolling his eyes, remnants of the conversation you were missing fading out, he had met your gaze. His eyes, impossibly bright in the dark then, had finally not slid from your own
"At least you guys don't look at me like that," he'd said quietly, almost accusingly, as if the kindness he had been afforded by coming to Jujutsu Tech was somehow more dangerous than all the pressure the clan elders placed on his shoulders.
You had lingered perhaps a moment too long looking at him, missing the context.
"Like what?" you'd asked, and almost immediately felt bad for it. Why would you speak? You barely knew him at all, surely he didn't actually want to talk to you...But you wouldn't be seeing him until the next term started, and you so desperately wanted to be closer.
"Like I'm just... Satoru," he'd sighed, and then immediately looked away to Shoko, who was rubbing his hair and assuring him he was nothing special.
That was the first time you had felt like he really had been speaking to you, and by the next term, those moments between you had remained just as rare.
--
You sat up a bit, you didn't have a guest room, and it felt highly inappropriate to share a bed with Gojo, even in his...current state. The decision was easy, really. You would take the couch. After all, he needed rest to recover, and you really didn't mind taking up less space; if anything, it was your preference.
You slipped off the bed as quietly as you could, tiptoeing toward the door. Just before you left, you glanced back one more time.
He looked so peaceful like this, without that wall of superiority and humor he usually wore.
The living room was cool and dim, lit only by the soft glow of the kitchen stove light. You grabbed a throw blanket from the back of the couch and settled in, your eyes tracing the familiar patterns on your ceiling.
Your mind wouldn't quiet. Today had been impossible, completely, utterly impossible. And yet here you were, with Satoru Gojo sleeping in your bed, trapped in the body of a cat because of some curse neither Shoko nor Suguru knew the origin of.
By the time your eyes finally slid closed, your brain was whispering that all of it had been no more than a dream.
--
Satoru woke to darkness and disorientation.
For a blessed half-second, he thought maybe it had all been some bizarre nightmare. Then he tried to stretch and felt the unfamiliar pull of four legs instead of two, felt whiskers twitch against fabric that was far too close to his face. Felt an extra appendage pulling his lower back...
Right. Of course, still a cat. Still cursed.
He blinked a few times, though his eyes seemed to fail him; his night vision was surprisingly sharp in this form. What he recalled to be your room was quiet, bathed in the purple-grey of late evening. The spot next to him on the bed was empty, the covers barely disturbed where he'd remembered you being.
Well, that couldn't be right....
Satoru stood, his body moving with an unsettling grace he hadn't quite adjusted to yet. He padded across the duvet, hopped down to the floor with a soft thump, and made his way toward the door you'd left cracked open.
The moment he entered the living room and turned the corner, he saw you.
Curled up on that ridiculous excuse for a couch, far too small for comfortable sleeping, with one arm tucked under your head and a thin throw blanket that had already slipped halfway off. You were still wearing your uniform pants and shirt, like you'd been too tired, or too considerate of not disturbing him, to even change.
Something hot and uncomfortable twisted in his chest.
Of course. Of course, you would give up your own bed for a responsibility a fraction of your size. Of course, you would make yourself less important, less deserving of basic comfort. It was so perfectly, frustratingly you that Satoru felt his tail lash in agitation before he could stop it.
He couldn't help but feel the disappointments he always felt, did you really think so little of yourself? Did you really believe that he, even like this, especially like this, deserved your bed more than you did? Or was it that you were just too embarrassed to share?
The thought made him want to yell in frustration, but he bit it back, knowing some unusual sound would replace his normally steady voice. You needed sleep, even if you'd chosen the worst possible place to get it.
Satoru approached the couch with careful steps, his paws silent on the floor. Up close, he could see the slight furrow between your brows, the way your shoulder was already angled awkwardly against the couch cushion. You'd be sore in the morning. You were probably already sore now.
This was absolutely unacceptable.
He gathered himself and jumped up onto the couch, landing near your hip. You stirred slightly but didn't wake. Your couch was narrow, barely enough space for you, let alone you both, but Satoru didn't really care that much.
He toed his way carefully over your side, circled once, twice, and then settled himself firmly in the space between your bent knees and the back of the couch. He pressed his small furry body against you.
This close, he could hear your breathing, steady and soft. Could feel the rise and fall of your form against his head. Could hear, even from his position on your calves, the constant thump of your heart.
It was quite hard for him to not fantasize about it all.
This was so typical, seeing you rearrange your life for what really was the perfect inconvenience. And you were doing it for him. He couldn't even call the two of you close.
You see, to Gojo, after years of not really knowing what to say, it became hard to say anything at all around you. Easier to keep his distance, to stay silent, than to risk revealing just how much attention he actually paid to you.
And now he couldn't say anything even if he had the words, unable to do anything except press himself against you and hope you understood even a fraction of what he couldn't say. Even if it was just,
Thanks for not leaving me to Shoko's smoky apartment...
He knows she wouldn't have shared her comfy bed with him.
Your breathing shifted, and slowly you began to turn in your sleep, moving to face the back of the couch. Satoru unfurled and slowly snuck up to come rest nearer to you. Not quite touching, but close enough that he could feel the warmth of you more.
Satoru tucked his head down and closed his eyes.
If you woke up and tried to move him, he'd make himself as heavy and immovable as possible. You'd taken care of him today, multiple times now, actually. The least he could do was make sure you didn't spend the whole night cramped on this awful couch alone.
Even if he couldn't say thank you.
Even if you'd never know why.
--
Three days into this arrangement, you were...all respect to the honored one, potentially starting to lose your mind.
Shoko had called twice with updates that amounted to quite literally nothing. Suguru had stopped by once with supplies and absolutely zero leads on the curse responsible and had a good laugh. And you had been running yourself ragged trying to maintain normalcy while also keeping the world's strongest sorcerer alive.
On a large scale, it wasn't all that hard, but what had been a successful first night of keeping Gojo asleep ended up being a huge bout of luck because that man. Did not sleep through the night. Ever.
As it would turn out, Gojo was a terrible patient. He refused to eat the cat food you'd bought (you'd resorted to giving him plain chicken, rice, and fish). It was as if he couldn't help himself but knock things off your counters with what seemed like deliberate intent, followed by genuine remorse, and he had this annoying habit of sitting directly in your field of vision whenever you pulled out your laptop, or book, or knitting, or God knows what else.
Do not even mention the 3 AM zoomies.
Worse than all of this, however, was the way he watched you. Those unnervingly blue eyes tracked your every movement, and you couldn't shake the feeling that he was judging you. Cataloguing every mistake, every inadequacy, storing them up for when he got his body back so he could finally tell everyone what a disaster you were.
A bit dramatic, yes, but he had always been so observant of everyone for that very reason.
You hoped he was just deathly bored.
You knew it must be hard. It's not as though you could stay home and entertain him all day; you still had a job to do. Suguru had bought him all kinds of kitty sensory toys, but let's just say, Gojo was not fond of them.
Maybe it was because of how Suguru teased him when he came over to drop them off, maybe it was because he just enjoyed tipping stuff off the counters more then he liked chasing electronic mice. Who is to say?
You knew he needed engagement, some stimulation; you were trying your best.
This day in particular had been especially brutal. A mission that should have taken two hours had stretched into six. The two students who had come with you had quite a bit of trouble and you felt badly enough to buy them dinner. By the end of it all, it was fair to say you were drained.
Finally home, you stumbled through your apartment door well after dark, your body moving on autopilot. Keys on the hook. Shoes kicked off. Bag dropped by the door.
Your uniform wasn't actually that uncomfortable, but after such a long day, all you wanted were your pajamas.
You pulled your shirt over your head as you walked toward your bedroom, already mentally checked out, your fingers working through your hair.
"...Ow," you muttered, almost tripping over yourself to put your socks in the laundry basket, fingers fumbling with your skirt. You were halfway to your dresser, in just your underwear, by the way, when you heard it.
A very pointed, very loud meow.
You froze.
Your head whipped to the side, and there he was, Satoru, perched on your dresser, his white tail swishing in slow, deliberate arcs. Those blue eyes were wider than you'd ever seen them, his stance wide as well, and if a cat could look scandalized, he absolutely did.
"Oh my gosh!" You grabbed the nearest piece of clothing, yesterday's shirt, and held it against yourself, after a moment of realizing it covered little to nothing, you instead decided to throw it at him.
The t-shirt landed, effectively covering him, he spun beneath it, somewhat caught off guard. After a quick escape, he turned his head away sharply, and you could swear his ears were pressed back in what might have been mortification.
Your face was burning as you scrambled to pull on clean clothes, your hands shaking slightly.
How could you have possibly forgotten? "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...just" you heaved, pulling on a long t-shirt, "wasn't thinking and...I just came home and—" You rambled on, "gosh I'm an idiot, I have no idea what—"
Another meow, this one somehow conveying both forgiveness as well as a, "please stop talking."
You pressed your hands to your face, wanting the floor to swallow you whole. Of all the people to accidentally flash, it had to be him. The one person whose opinion of you was already so low that you couldn't afford to sink any further.
At least he got some form of entertainment.
When you finally dared to peek through your fingers, Gojo had turned back around. He spun around a bit on the floor beside the dresser and padded over to you, sitting at your feet. He looked up at you and made a small, questioning sound, his head tilted.
Are you like...good?
The question, unspoken but somehow clear, made your head throb. Wishing you could somehow erase the past ten minutes of your life.
"That was awful," you managed to get out. "I'm...just tired. And mortified. Mostly mortified."
He bumped his head against your shin, once, twice. Then, promptly rolled his eyes at you. Maybe it was only fair for you to shame yourself so, considering he was perpetually on display.
"Jesus, you must be starved..." You realized, shaking your head, and led him to the kitchen.
You hoped and prayed this would be the last of the public humiliation Satoru Gojo got to witness.
--
Satoru had learned many things in the past week of being a cat. Aside from the realization that he had a complete inability to control his impulses, he also learned:
His sense of smell was overwhelming and occasionally nauseating.
The urge to chase anything that moved was both instinctual and deeply humiliating, especially when it caused you to wake up and become concerned for him.
And lastly, you were terrible at taking care of yourself.
It wasn't that he hadn't noticed before, oh, of course he had. He'd always noticed everything about you, filed away every detail like he couldn't help himself. But living with you, watching your routines up close, made it impossible to ignore.
You worked yourself to exhaustion all the time. You apologized for things that weren't your fault. You ate irregularly at best, and sometimes not at all. And you didn't seem to find any issue with these behaviors, which made him want to chew on something. A habit the both of you were trying to get him to break.
This morning was a perfect example.
You'd woken up late (still getting used to sharing a bed, he supposes, though it had come very naturally to him). He'd watched from his spot on the couch as you'd rushed around your apartment in record speed, pulled on your uniform, slipped on your shoes, and grabbed your bag.
You were halfway to the door when he realized you were about to leave without breakfast or a packed lunch.
Again.
Satoru launched himself from the couch and ran directly into your path, planting himself between you and the door. Calling loudly at you.
"Excuse me?" He was straightening his back quite defiantly, he could tell.
Stumbling to a stop, you nearly tripped over his moving figure.
"Gojo! I- I left something out for you- sorry, I don't have time to play, I'm already late—"
He didn't move. Instead, he sat down and looked up at you with the most pathetic expression he could muster. He even added a small, pitiful mew for effect.
"I" You turned back to check, "you've got food and water, you can't be going outside, you know that, I'm sor-"
He clawed at his own head in irritation, turned and walked deliberately toward the kitchen, then looked back at you. When you didn't follow, he did it again. Kitchen. You. Kitchen. You.
"Are you... feeling sick? What is it?"
Finally. He meowed, leaped onto the counter, and pawed at a cabinet.
Are you blind? He wanted to sass.
"You want... food?" You looked confused. "But your bowls are full?"
He resisted the urge to bite his tail in frustration. Instead, he jumped onto the counter (something you'd told him not to do at least a dozen times) and headbutted the cabinet door that contained your cereal.
"That's...mine, Gojo, I think it would probably make you sick."
Yes! Exactly! That's the entire point!
He meowed again, more insistently this time, and pawed at the cabinet.
You stood there for a long moment, and he could see the exact second it clicked. Your expression shifted from confusion to slight indignation.
"Are you... telling me to eat breakfast?"
He hopped down from the counter and wound himself around your legs in what he hoped was an encouraging figure-eight pattern.
"Gojo..." Your voice was disbelieving. "I really don't have time, trust me, I'm not like you, I can go a day—"
He couldn't help it...he didn't mean to... okay, he did.
He bit your ankle.
It had been a while since he had done that, spurred into action, you yelp, "Okay!" and reached down to scoop him up without thinking, holding him against your chest as you grabbed a protein bar from the cabinet with your other hand. "Happy now? This counts as breakfast."
See, this was the hard part; he couldn't "cheek" you into listening to him in this form, because a bar absolutely did not count, and he'd definitely need someone to address it when he turned back, but it was better than nothing. He allowed himself to relax slightly in your arms, rolling those big eyes once more.
"I don't understand you," you murmured, almost to yourself. You were scratching behind his ears now, absently, like you'd forgotten you were holding him. "I thought you couldn't stand me, but now you're just like my mother."
That stopped him short. His ear twitched.
Instead, he just pushed his head more firmly into your palm and purred.
You couldn't stop an almost-laugh. "You're very weird, you know that?"
Oh, you had no idea.
"Okay, I really do have to go now." You set him down gently, and he watched as you shoved the protein bar in your pocket and headed for the door. But just before you left, you turned back to look at him.
This was the hard part. Before, it had consisted of lazing around, waiting for Suguru to kill the damn curse that had caused this and turn him back. Somewhere along the way, it became sitting around all day and awaiting your return.
The door closed behind you, and Satoru sat in the silence of your apartment, tail swishing in agitation.
In all honesty, it had started to get good, living with you. There was a comfortable normalcy to it all; Satoru had even allowed himself to enjoy his new life.
Decent and consistent meals, more sleep than he had ever gotten, a companion to watch movies with, and a chance to be with you. What was there to complain about?
For the first time ever, in this new form, it was easy to be around you, to not be held back by the ever-present thudding in his chest, by the voice that told him he was going to stutter and lose his chill-flirty-guy look simply by attempting to hold your gaze.
When he had first met you, he was still trying to discover himself; he didn't know what kind of a person he was or wanted to be. He liked being the guy people wanted him to be (as much as he would deny it) but he never quite figured out what kind of a person you liked, and so, he found himself delaying your conversations until his confidence came to him.
That day just never really came. He had psyched himself into heart-stilling muteness whenever you were around.
Although now, some days, you would come home late, and that would mean he got to complain loudly while following you around, never truly upset.
It actually felt good to tease you; he had never let himself do it before.
Satoru slid near the window, listening to the mumble of the TV you had left on for him, and impatiently waited for the noise of your car.
--
When your head was clear, you were always worried about how others saw you and how they perceived your weakness. But in moments of desperation like these, you couldn't even seem to bring yourself to care about tripping down the hallway of your apartment complex.
Saliva flooded your mouth as you became frustrated with your door handle. Shaking it with irate need until it finally swung open.
Your whole body should be in pain right now, or at least giving you something, any feeling at all. You feared its impending arrival, knowing the adrenaline could only last so long, but all you could focus on now was how you were getting copious amounts of blood across your carpet.
Wide births of it seem to sink into the flooring below your shaky feet as you toss your bag to the floor along with the rag you had been holding to your head.
You shouldn't have left it at the entrance, but you had dropped it with everything else in your hands, and the front door was too far to go back to now.
Your brain was focused on how you were beginning to come alarmingly close to puking on top of the filth as well, and how your eyes kept getting blurry from the blood.
Clearly, you were not in a headspace of decent awareness because you had not even thought about how your cat might respond to your mess. Of Satoru seeing you in this state.
Wow, this was embarrassing. It shook you for a moment as Satoru circled your ankles.
You know he probably meant well, but in your current state, you could hardly walk without stumbling. Tears of frustration at the whole event prick your eyes. At the blood you know stained your car, your home, your uniform. You couldn't tell if it was blood or sweat that made your jacket stick to your flesh, but you hated how it felt.
You wanted this to stop, to push it away and bother with it in the morning, and you would've, only now, the pain was starting to arise in scarily strong waves.
You would feel bad looking back on it, the force you used. In those moments, it had almost been as though Satoru was trying to trip you with the way he kept blocking your path, his head tilted straight up. In a moment of frustration at everything, the pain, your stupid mistake, at the damn blood slicking your hair to your scalp, you shoved Satoru back rather aggressively with your foot, kicking him so he couldn’t follow you into the bathroom, where you slid behind the door.
Weak, a poor excuse for a sorcerer, and also now mean.
Satoru heard you slump to the floor. He heard your heart pumping. Smelled the festering of your flesh.
And he was useless through it all.
You felt yourself slip a bit, swallowing your own spit repeatedly, attempting to keep the bile down. The tiles of your bathroom floor were cold on your exposed flesh. A distant part of your brain reminded you how gross it was to just be lying here on the floor of your bathroom, but it was such a minute call amongst the alarm bells that were your pain receptors.
You tried to take an assessment of your body. It wasn't actually as bad as you thought, nor as bad as it looked. The long, jerky drive home likely exacerbated the issue. You would have called Shoko, only you knew she was in Kyoto right now.
Today was her report with the higher-ups.
And besides, there were only so many sorcerers who were able to heal others, and with Satoru "on vacation," her jobs were only becoming more frequent.
The one time when you needed to be strong, to stand up for yourself and not fall back on the help of others, you couldn't do it without making a fool of yourself. You really were pathetic.
Gojo's shouts would have been funny had they not been so incessant.
"It’s okay, Satoru..." You wheeze, "I’m alright, buddy." You weren't that convincing, even you knew that. But the torn-up noises he was making on the other side of the door were starting to become somewhat concerning.
Your words, however, did not have a comforting effect on him; had he been able to speak properly, you would have heard his, "You’re not. You’re really not."
On the other side of the bathroom door, Satoru was in a state of complete panic, unable to gauge what exactly was going on. Why the hell were you here, alone on your bathroom floor when you could be in Shoko’s lab? In a hospital, for Christ's sake? Why were you wasting your energy trying to comfort him?
He hated himself. He hated this stupid body. He hated how weak he was. But most of all, he hated those painful gasps of breath you were making. It caused him to wince.
He couldn't even enjoy the fact that for the very first time, you were calling him by his first name.
He needed to get in there.
Eventually, you were able to pull yourself up against the sink cupboard with a sopping cloth pressed messily to your head while your free hand worked on opening a first aid kit you kept handy.
A painful chuckle escaped you when a wild paw slid itself under the bathroom door, swiping at nothing.
Silly boy.
“It’s alright…it all looks worse than it is.”
You were really just talking to yourself at this point, little murmurs of ‘you can do it…’ as you hyped yourself up to using hydrogen peroxide with shaky hands, a great way to blind yourself.
As your blood started seeping into the hand towel beside your skull more and more, you realized you might actually be right.
The wound itself wasn’t that bad. There were just a lot of blood vessels in the scalp...at least that’s what you told yourself as the cap for the antiseptic came undone.
The cloying bile arose in your throat once more, your eyes blurred, and without allowing yourself the chance to change your mind, you slipped across the linoleum tile, leaned back over the shower-bath, and doused yourself.
It was pitiful, the noises you made. It was a sickening cry, the type of pain that made you angry. You had to repeatedly swallow down your gags.
You could barely hear the mewls over the sound of your own hiccups now.
“Almost done. It’s almost done.” You stroked your own neck to self-soothe.
The shocking sting subsided blissfully and slowly dulled into a casual ache. You had a sudden and childish desire to just hold your kitty. To forget all of this and just fall asleep. But you knew you would have to bandage yourself, even if it sucked all of your energy to do so.
Your legs shook as you stood, dropping the sodden and useless towel to the floor, and gripped the sink, looking at yourself.
It was almost scary to see. You flipped the sink on and washed your hands, and after looking for something dry to wipe them (and your sticky face) on, you leaned over and pulled the door open a crack.
Just like everything else, it seemed like Satoru wanted to take part. He was in the bathroom before you could say a word. Those big eyes kept scaling the length of you. His ears were pulled to the sides slightly, and his tail dragged the floor. His limbs appeared to be squatted low, and he just kept pacing around you silently.
“Sorry you had to see this.” You chuckle. Everything was making you a bit delirious, but knowing the worst of it was gone made it strangely easy to laugh.
Satoru did not seem to find it funny, an angry moan resounding from between your legs.
He hopped up onto the toilet seat and, from there, leaped to the sink, likely trying to get a better look at you. With a slightly damp and soapy hand, you stroked his tiny head, a feeling he usually would have disliked, but let slide this time, probably given the circumstances.
You attempted to shush him gently, but that only seemed to fan his anger.
"Shhh, I'm sorry, Satoru, I don't understand you."
You grabbed the towel from before and reached behind him to turn the sink on, allowing it to soak before ringing it out a few times. Satorus's nose scrunched up, probably at the coppary smell of your blood.
Once a bit cleaner, you took the wet rag and started blotting the stains on your uniform, small slashes here and there, nothing as serious as the head wound, but still dripping.
You made an attempt at salvaging your clothes but decided rather quickly to forego the whole endeavor in favor of a sloppy bandaging job and lying down, an idea much more appealing to your weak and dizzy mind.
Satoru cried, mewling a single note every so often when he had to shift to see your face. He jumped from the sink when you gave up with your uniform, the rag left in the sink for when you had a little more energy.
You laughed, something short and sweet, when you tried to lean over to pull your shoes off. His head almost bonked yours, you carefully responded by lifting him up and placing him on the bed. Even the simple movement seemed to hurt, you were usure of the current state of your injuries, but your bandages did not seem to be leaking sticky fluid, so that was a great start.
Your face scrunching up as you sucked in another breath. Slowly removing your clothes, discarding them into your laundry basket, even though you knew they would need to be thrown out in the morning.
When you turned to look for something easy and comfortable to change into, you saw the cat stoutly facing away from you, a large nightshirt having suddenly appeared on the mattress.
"Thanks, Satoru," You sighed, leaning into the bed before pulling it slowly over your head. You took stock of what was of imminent need, and highest on the list before anything else was sleep.
Before you lifted your worn body into bed, you bent over to his hiding form and pressed a kiss to Satoru's forehead.
When he turned to look, you were already trying to get comfortable. There was no use in forcing you to call for help, in keeping you from rest, he knew that. But that didn't mean he wasn't sick to his stomach.
He also knew with startling clarity that he needed you to kiss him again, the real him.
--
You could tell something was different before you were really even awake. It wasn't because you were so painfully sore that you couldn't bare the thought of waking up, or because your head throbbed with the beat of your heart either.
It’s not exactly like you had worlds of experience sharing a bed with someone, but even you could tell in this state that a human arm was heavily wrapped around your upper waist. The warm skin, the corded muscle, and those fingers that were unconsciously curled into your flesh.
Your face was pressed against something firm, your own warm breath ricocheting back in a calming cycle. In your half-asleep daze, you mapped your hands across the smooth expanse of skin and hard muscle that was weighing against you and definitely had not been there when you had fallen asleep.
The duvet was tucked tightly around your legs, along with some other tangled limbs you weren’t accustomed to, far too long to belong to the small creature you had grown accustomed to. Your norm had become a gentler...say, eight pounds of purring fluff on your back or calves, not whatever this was.
You rarely awoke before your alarm, so it was with blinking surprise that you found yourself trying to squirm free, just for Satoru, because of course it had to be him, to grumble something incoherent in his sleep and hold your hip tighter. "Sato, shit, Gojo," You groaned as you corrected yourself, managing to pull your arms free to start pushing him back.
Your sides and lower back still hurt from yesterday; the pain lingered with every movement. In response to your pushes, he simply readjusted instead, moving down to nuzzle his head back into your neck, long white hair splayed out and tickling your cheeks, still too asleep to realize he wasn't the same small kitty anymore.
He groaned a sigh, fully unaware, not able to take note of his body that could no longer simply curl up on you. You wheeze a bit, "You're...heavy-"
And finally, he stirred, his body going completely rigid, the moment of understanding hitting him.
"Fuck." His voice was hoarse and raw, scratching its way out of his throat as though it was a pain to use. Almost like he hadn't used it in weeks...which, technically, he hadn't.
It took him a second to start moving, every motion slow, sluggish, while he untangled himself from you and the blanket.
You tried not to stare, really you did, but as you sat up in your bed, you watched as he jolted, your eyes having a mind of their own, raking over his body, betraying you.
You traced the movement of his shoulders, the line of his spine, and--
He was naked. Completely and utterly nude.
You made a startled-strangled noise, immediately looking away and throwing a blanket in his general direction to cover up. A feeling of deja vu followed.
Both of you were speaking over each other, neither really making sense. You had slipped off your mattress and were pointing him in the direction of your closet when he finally stopped muttering.
"Um, okay, well, I'm, uh, gonna call Suguru so he can get you some clothes," You rambled, covering your eyes with one hand and fumbling for your phone where you could've sworn you left it on the nightstand before you fell asleep. Quickly and without your notice, a warm hand brushed against yours, goosebumps going up your arm as sturdy fingers unintentionally skimmed over your skin. It took you a painfully long second to realize he was holding your phone out for you to take.
"Thanks," You choked out, grabbing it and crawling back to the other side of the room so you wouldn't accidentally bump into him. "You can just, uh, use my closet to sit...or relax or whatever." You were scurrying out before he could reply, clutching your phone like a shield to save you from the sheer awkwardness.
In your hurry, you hadn't realized you'd loosened your pathetic excuse for bandages until you felt something dry and scratchy itching at your forehead as you slammed the door behind you and started frantically thumbing through your contacts for Suguru. "Shit," You muttered, hitting the call button and tucking it between your ear and shoulder, right after you had hurried to the bathroom to clean yourself up, choking down a few more painkillers dry as the phone rang.
"Good morning, I assume you are calling to share some good news?" Suguru's voice sounded annoyingly chipper for once; you could only guess he knew your predicament. He had answered right as you had perched yourself on the edge of the bathroom counter.
Your back and side hurt way more now than they did last night. You ground your molars just replaying the memory of that stupid curse catching you off guard after you thought you had finished it.
There was a sharp knock on the bathroom door, and you forced yourself back on your feet, politely blocking out Suguru's explanation of his evening.
You checked yourself in the mirror, and your soul dropped at the sight of yourself. There was, unfortunately, nothing left for you to hide from your roommate at this point, though, and you eventually pulled open the door.
You couldn't find the words when your eyes met his. Satoru's face was pulled tight, jaw clenched as his intense blue eyes assessed you. He was looking at you in a way he never had before...not to say you often caught him staring, because you really didn't.
Your heart sank. He almost looked angry. Disappointment flooded your mind and drowned you for a moment before the man gently took your wrist, and with a tenderness that did not match his expression, requested your phone.
There was blood all over the bathroom.
You just nodded.
To think, this towering man had been living with you for over a week now, and you had somehow found normalcy in it. When Satoru stepped into the bathroom, you suddenly found the space to be impossibly small. Forced to look up at him now, you wondered where that small, soft creature you'd gotten used to had gone.
"She's hurt," Satoru spoke slowly, interrupting his friend's rehashing of how he had found the curse. "You should be here to help her."
Suguru had not expected that to be a response, but he was put into action quickly by the unusual sternness in Satoru's voice.
Before Suguru had the chance to come and pick you up, Satoru spent the time fussing. You had expected his first day back to be more celebratory, a happier conversation perhaps, not,
"And why didn't you go to Shoko?",
"Do you have any idea how worried I was?",
"You lost practically a liter of blood!",
"And you weren't even listening to me..."
All this was followed by a rustling of a hand through his hair, which proceeded with,
"You're still shaking, Christ, I can see how hurt you are.",
"I have good eyes, you know this, but they were really bad back there, which was really just all the more scary when you literally kicked me from this bathroom!",
"Kicked me!!"
"And then you just went to sleep? There was nothing I could even do to- are you even listening?"
You had made several attempts at breaking his frantic sentences but finally, you put out a shaky hand, motioning for him, "Satoru..."
He paced forward, seemingly concerned.
"You're...in a towel..."
--
When Suguru arrived, you were forced to endure the removal of all his softness, replaced by harsh instructions. You didn't know what sort of face you were making, didn't want to when you were sure it was probably tinged with hurt or worse, something as embarrassing as a blush.
Satoru coming back to himself had always been the plan, but you hadn't considered what that would look like. How might it change the unfamiliar dynamic you had shared?
You were now caught somewhere between devastation and desire when you couldn't tell what new box he'd fit you into now, or if he'd just returned you to the one you'd been stuck in before, barely more than coworkers.
That was what you promised him, all those nights ago, right? That things would go back to normal once Suguru could find and destroy the curse.
But now that it had happened, you wished you had spent more time planning on how to respond. You had kidded yourself into thinking this wouldn't be hard, no matter how much you liked his presence, how much you convinced yourself there was some silent connection you shared, he had always been the same person, too far out of reach.
You couldn't read his face anymore, not now that he was a man.
--
The shoebox was waiting on your desk when you arrived at the school three days later, that Monday.
Plain, unmarked, sitting there like it had always belonged. You approached it cautiously, glancing around the empty classroom as if someone might jump out and explain. When you lifted the lid, you stopped short and turned to find the person who had left them.
Shoes. New ones. The same style as the pair that you had been wearing for years now. The ones that had been destroyed several nights ago by a certain ferocious feline. You can recall sighing at his regretful face, murmuring something like "...those were expensive".
There was no note. No explanation. But you didn't need one.
You had the sudden steam of guilt brewing in your mind. The notion that Gojo might have gone out of his way because he believed he had upset you just made you all the more uncomfortable. Not to mention the two of you hadn't said a word to each other since the day Suguru took him home.
You picked up one of the shoes, running your thumb over the pristine material, and something warm and painful bloomed in your chest. The souls were all nice and clean; it had been a while since your pair had looked anything like that.
You put the lid back on the box and tried very hard not to cry.
It wasn't because he had spent far too much money on you. Well, maybe that played a small part, but more likely, it was because he hadn't said anything at all.
Everything was falling right back into the routine you were accustomed to. You might see each other here and there, maybe at a work event, he might catch your gaze, in a few months, he might even include you in a conversation, and you could allow yourself to pretend it meant something more, but at the end of the day, you belonged in your world, and he in his.
Why was it that you were doomed to care so much for someone who you knew would never feel the same way?
--
You managed to avoid him for a week.
It wasn't difficult in the slightest. Satoru had been swarmed with assignments and meetings the moment he'd returned, the higher-ups were eager to deploy their strongest asset after his mysterious "overseas assignment."
You'd heard about it through Suguru, who seemed more than ever to be involved in your friendship with the man. He was far too amused by your sudden aversion to rooms he was in, especially since he knew you had once tried to look for them.
That being said, you couldn't avoid everyone forever, and certainly not Shoko, especially not when you'd torn your stitches again on a mission in Osaka.
"You're an idiot," she said flatly the afternoon you returned with some dried blood in your hairline, threading the needle with practiced efficiency. "These were almost healed."
"I know."
"You're going to scar worse if you keep this up."
"I know."
It felt like just yesterday you had thrown her into a coughing fit when she found out you had used hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound. Now, she was sighing, and you heard the distinctive click of her lighter. It hardly felt like it, but a month ago, now you had been in this very office, with this very woman, being granted an opportunity that at the time had felt like a joke.
"He's been asking about you, ya know."
Your stomach twisted. "Sho-"
"I'm just saying. Whatever weird thing you two have going on, maybe talk about it? Instead of running away from him?"
You didn't answer, and she didn't push. You had asked about it before, long ago whispers in your childhood dorm of, "do you think I did something to make him not like me?" resurfaceing. Even she couldn't explain why you were different to him.
She finished the stitches in silence, then left you sitting on the examination table with instructions to rest that you both knew you wouldn't follow.
You were pulling your hand back down from your head when the door opened once more.
Satoru stood in the doorway, Suguru just behind him. They both froze when they saw you, but it was Satoru's expression that made your heart stutter, something real and unguarded crossing his face before he schooled it away.
"Hey," he spoke first, silent, Suguru still behind him. His brows were knitted together, searching your face.
"Hi," you echoed back, avoiding his sharp gaze in favor of the desk, Shoko's abandoned coffee cup, the floor...the new shoes adorning your feet...
"You're hurt?" His voice was still rough around the edges, too low, not quite as smooth as it used to be. Like it was still remembering how to flow properly.
"Not really...not anymore," you shook your head, forcing your tone to stay light. "Shoko fixed me up."
"You shouldn't push yourself so hard," he frowned, taking a step closer.
The concern in his voice felt like a hand around your throat. You're pathetic. You've never seen him need help from Shoko, he could do it himself if he ever got hurt, which, of course, never happened.
You hopped off the table quickly, brushing past his broad chest to get to the door. "Thanks."
His hand shot out, catching your wrist. Not hard, not restraining, just... holding. "Hey..."
You stopped, a chill flew up your spine. When had he last touched you? You immediately turn around. Sick to your stomach with some shameful excitement that he may have wanted to speak with you.
"I haven't really seen you at all." His voice was quiet. Suguru looked like a very large fly on the wall, witnessing it all.
"Oh, I guess our schedules ... aren't matching up?"
"You're avoiding me, huh?" His grip slumped, and he put on that boyish grin you always craved to be directed your way, "Ever since I changed back, you won't even look at me. Are you just missing my old form?"
"No, I'm glad you're back," You shrug, "everyone was missing you."
There weren't any words exchanged for a painfully awkward time. Suguru refused to help.
"Thank you...for the shoes, by the way." You force out through the silence.
"It's nothing. I owe you much more..." Gojo stilled, looked around the lab, and then over to his friend, "Isn't Shoko here? I guess not... I figured she would be, though..."
Nobody replied until you pointed over your shoulder, "She had...just left when you stopped by..."
Satoru released his grip, nodded at Suguru, and quickly spurted out, "Did I make you uncomfortable?"
"What?" You still.
"Sorry if I did, it's just that I haven't seen you and I figured maybe I did something, and well.. you took such good care of me, it wouldn't be very nice of me to not pay you back properly."
You doubt you had ever heard so many words from Satoru directed your way, "Uhh, I don't think you owe me at all, you already got me the shoes, and it's not like you have to pretend things are different now that you're back."
You wished Suguru would leave, or better, you wished you could leave, becase Satoru is looking at you with those adorable, confused eyes.
"I'm not pretending, you know, we used to share a bed, we can be friends still, right?"
You gape like a fish, and Geto smacks a hand to his forehead. Friends? Were you ever friends?
"Satoru, you didn't do anything wrong. I think I would prefer if we could just be normal, I don't want you to force yourself because you feel guilty about something you can't control."
"I don't think I follow"
You try and grin, "You've made-" You stop, trying again, "Our relationship is pretty clear."
"It is?" He's got this cute scrunch in his eyebrows.
You finally turned to face him again. "I wasn't really worth your time before." It's embarrassing to say it so boldly to his face, especially because you know he's about to deny it.
Suguru, the slick man, takes that as his cue to depart, shaking his head. The words came out sharper than you had meant; maybe something more like, 'we're we close before?' would have sufficed.
Instead, there were months or maybe years of hidden offense spilling over. "I get it, okay? You were stuck with me because of the curse, and you probably feel embarrassed about having to stay with me, I mean, you were probably counting down the seconds until you could get back to your real life and forget about it, but-"
"Are you insane?" He stops you short.
You blinked. Satoru was staring at you like you'd just spoken a different language, his mouth actually hanging open. "What?"
"Not worth my time?" He repeated, his voice climbing. "Are you-do you actually think-" He turned around for the imaginary audience, gesturing wildly. "Oh my-are you serious right now?"
Suguru, who had apparently only been just around the corner, answered his call, "Don't ask her that! She has no idea, you're the one who's been silently pining for years."
"Suguru!" Satoru's face was turning red, his six eyes had known his friend was listening, but he didn't appreciate the commentary. None of this was going according to plan, he had practiced his confident and cool lines for moments like these, but just like every other time he was before you, the words wouldn't come.
Your brain had stopped processing. "I'm sorry, what?"
Satoru dragged a hand down his face, and when he looked at you again, his expression was almost pained. "I don't... I can't do this." He took a breath. "But you need to know that you've got it completely backwards."
"I don't understand."
"You've never...not been worth my time," he said, and the words came out rushed, clumsy. "I've never thought that. I just, I liked you since-god, I don't even know. Since you asked me for my name on your first day at school? Since you stayed up all night helping your upperclassman study, even though you were exhausted. Since you-" He gestured helplessly. "Since the beginning, okay? Since always."
You felt like the ground had disappeared beneath your feet. "But you never... you barely talked to me."
"Because!" He flung his arms around. Suguru came out from around the corner and mimicked wringing his neck with both hands.
"I couldn't! I can't even do it now!" Satoru stepped closer, and you were too stunned to back away. "Because every time I tried to talk to you like a normal person, I'd remember how much of a better person you were, and I'd just freeze, or say something stupid, or complain, because that's all I know how to do. So I stayed away because I thought that was better than being an idiot."
"You stayed away," you repeated slowly, "because you liked me?"
"Are you kidding? Of course, I liked you, who else would I like!"
"So when I thought you couldn't stand me..."
"No! I was just trying not to embarrass myself in front of you." He laughed, but it sounded a little broken. "Clearly failed at that, considering you witnessed me trying to figure out how to use a litter box for a week."
Despite everything, you felt a small laugh bubble up. His hand came up slowly, carefully, giving you time to pull away. When you didn't, his fingers brushed along your jaw. "And just like with everyone else, you took care of me, even though you thought so lowly of me."
You pulled back at that, "I never thought lowly of you..."
"If you thought for even a second that I was better than you, you did, I can't imagine anything lower than that."
"This is just...so stupid," you managed, covering your face, unable to wrap your mind around the idea of Satoru Gojo liking you.
"Yeah, well." He smiled, soft and genuine and so unlike his usual smirk that it made your heart ache. "You make me stupid."
"Satoru..."
"I'm sorry," he said seriously. "For making you think you didn't matter. For not being brave enough to tell you sooner. For-"
You grabbed his shirt and pulled him in, a particular fantasy you had been dreaming about for ages. You wrapped your arms around his waist and knocked his chest with your forehead. He made a surprised choking noise, his arms coming around you carefully, a gentle pet on your head every so often, mindful of your stitches.
When you finally pulled back, you were both looking at one another as if it were the first time. His eyes were impossibly bright, a smile playing at his lips.
He took a few deep breaths, "I promise to not be so stupid in the future."
"I seriously doubt that." Suguru's voice cut through the moment.
"Yeah, Satoru, let's not go making promises we can't keep." Shoko ran a tired hand through her hair, evidently, just around the other hallway.
"I'm serious, though, guys! I feel like a weight has come off my shoulders and I can be free!" Satoru said without fully unlatching himself from you.
"Thank god nobody is dying of emotional constipation anymore." Suguru came forward and knocked Shoko on the shoulder.
"Only took...I'm not sure, twelve years and a week as a cat." You hear Shoko's footsteaps retreat, then pause. "For the record, I'm charging a therapy fee for the last month of watching you both be idiots."
When they were both gone, and it was just the two of you. Satoru's hand found yours, not firm or loud like he typically was with his friends, but gentle, threading your fingers together.
"Thank you," he said softly. "For keeping me."
You looked at your joined hands, then up at his face.
"How could I not?" you reply.
He rolled his eyes, leaning down to kiss your hand, and when he pulled back, he was grinning like you'd just given him the world.
"Though for the record," you said, unable to help yourself, "you were a very needy companion."
His laugh was bright and genuine, the sound filling Shoko's office like sunlight.
"Yeah," he agreed, pulling you closer. "It's like...for the first time I could freely beg for your attention."
You look away, nodding, but he continued, "And you gave it to me, god, what a thrill." His eyes sparkled, "Are you gonna continue to keep me, now that I'm not as cute?"
At this point, you should've known better, but you just wanted to hear him say it, "Is that what you want?"
Satoru scoffed, reaching for your other hand, “Don’t you know I’m yours? Besides, who else is going to remind you to eat your breakfast, hmm?”
--
Sometimes you could still see his mischievous tail whipping back and forth when he teased Nanami or Suguru, his pointy ears flicking when Utahime or Shoko got mad, but the one thing that never changed was those big pupils that would spot you at a moment's notice. Only now, he was a lot less shy about asking for what he wanted, leaving to go right where he belonged.
Right into your cozy arms. There really was no better place for a lovesick pet like him.
There was nothing left for him to hide - the cat's out of the bag.
