Used to Know: Blue-eyed Boy
Summary: It had been years since you last saw your childhood friend, Satoru Gojo. Your family had moved away suddenly and the two of you lost contact. You hadn't seen him again until you just so happen to end up at the same university, but he wasn't that same sweet, blue-eyed boy that you used to know.

“Excuse me?” You were baffled, utterly flabbergasted.
“I know it seems like a hard concept.” There was no way that the sweet, innocent, kind Satoru Gojo that you used to know had turned into this disgustingly sleazy playboy. You refused to believe it. “But a one night stand is exactly what it sounds like, so don’t think because we slept together once means that you can come up to me like you know me.” Wow.
What had you done to deserve this sort of response from the blue-eyed, white-haired astrophysics major? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
You had only come to the library today because your new friend, Kento, had said they required a certain number of students in order to reserve one of the study rooms. One of the guys in his frat had ditched last minute and they were down a body, so, being the good friend that you were, you agreed.
You had gotten there a little early and decided to go to the small coffee shop at the front of the library. As you turned away from the counter, coffee in hand, you noticed a familiar mop of white hair sitting at one of the corner tables. Excitement immediately filled you. There was no mistaking who that hair belonged to, even if it had been nearly ten years since you’d last seen him.
You had honestly thought you’d never see him again. Your family had moved away before middle school and you had no way to contact each other back then. Such a precious friendship— lost, or so you had thought. Because, there he was, sitting at a table in a coffee shop in a library at the same university as you. With a bright smile on your face, you made your way to the table. Only one of the guys looked up from their phone as you approached, an eyebrow raised. You just give him a small wave then turn your attention to reason you had come over in the first place.
“Satoru?” He’s leaned back in his chair, arm thrown over the back, legs spread, scrolling on his phone, circular sunglasses resting on the tip of his nose. He doesn’t even look up. Maybe he didn’t hear you? “Toru?” His thumb stops mid-scroll. His brows furrow and he lets out a long, exaggerated sigh.
“Come on, Toru.” One of his friends mock. He looks up to glare the man across from him— pink hair and…face tattoos? Satoru looks back down at his phone, not bothering to make eye contact with you.
“Look, just because we fucked once, doesn’t mean we’re together or something.” And that brings us back to the present. He’s lucky you’ve been craving the coffee in your hand all day because otherwise, he would’ve been wearing it by now.
“I see.” You hiss through gritted teeth. It was taking everything in you not the crush the flimsy paper cup in your hand. The same friend from before seemed to be amused by your frustration.
“Don’t worry babe, I’m available.” He smirks, slowly eyeing you up and down. By the time you turn your attention to him, you’ve wrangled your anger back in place.
“Thanks,” you deadpan “how generous.” He pouts. The other guy at the table, that had been sitting quietly until then, snorted behind his hand. Pink Hair shot him a glare. He only shrugged in response, his long black hair falling over his shoulders still shaking from laughter. “Just to be clear,” you turn back to Gojo. “I’ve never slept with you, and never will. Entitled man-whores with daddy’s money and Digimon boxers don’t really do it for me.” Satoru tenses, thumb frozen on the screen. The dark haired friend raised a brow as he looked between the two of you, because how could you possibly know that?
“Ha!” Pink Hair holds his stomach as he bursts out laughing.
“Sorry I bothered you. You guys have a nice rest of your day.” You turn on your heel. A chair scrapes loudly behind you.
“Hey!” Satoru calls after you, you stay your course and don’t turn around. “Wait- shit!” You heard something tip and spill over the side of the table, splattering on the floor. The pink haired guys laughter turned into howling until something must have gotten on his bag and he started yelling.
“Damnit, Gojo!” They start arguing loudly with one another while you slip into the library, out of sight.
“She had you pegged, bro.” Sukuna was still laughing at his friend’s misfortune. “Fuckin’ hilarious.” Gojo shot him an icy glare. He was currently mopping up the mess he made when he knocked his coffee over trying to stop you. Big L to his ego. He had an image to maintain, and being a clutz trying to chase after a girl could do some serious damage to his reputation.
“What are you doing?” Nanami’s flat tone was filled with judgment. Gojo pouted, leaning on the handle of the mop.
“Snowflake here made a fool of himself.”
“Shut up! Did not!” He did.
“Yeah, okay.” Sukuna rolls his eyes, standing from his seat. “Hurry it up, would ya? We gotta get to our room.” Satoru sticks out his tongue at his friends back and returns the mop to the staff. Nanami, unamused, checked his phone.
“My classmate already grabbed the room for us. We shouldn’t keep her waiting.”
“Her~?” Satoru teases, smirk on his face as he slings his bag over his shoulder. Nanami narrows his eyes.
“Is she hot?” Sukuna prods, a mischievous glint in his eye. At this rate, if Nanami kept rolling his eyes, they were bound to get stuck in the back of his head. He ignores their comments and starts for the door to the library. The rest of them snicker and trail behind him.
“Apologies for being late.” You give him a smile as he comes through the door.
“Not at all! I literally just got here.” He sets his bag down, taking the seat next to you. You go back to unpacking your own bag when there’s a sharp bark of laughter. You look up to see the same pink-haired, face-tattooed guy from earlier walk in and throw his stuff on the table across from you. Following him, the ravenette and…
“You gotta be kidding me.” You mumble under your breath as none other than Satoru Gojo brings up the rear— frozen in the doorway staring at you.
“Everything alright, y/n?” Nanami was pulling out his chair, about to sit down, when he saw your face. At the sound of your name, Gojo’s eyes widen even more— glasses falling to the tip of his nose.
“Yeah,” your eyes didn’t leave Satoru’s blue ones. “Everything’s fine.” Only then to you break eye contact and give Nanami a smile. The two of you start chatting and take your seats, discussing something to do with your shared class.
“Ah, I almost forgot.” Nanami introduces you to his frat brothers— telling you each of their names and them yours.
“Nice to meet you guys.” Sukuna was far too amused by this turn of events. He snorts, eyes flitting between you and Gojo— Geto smacks his arm as he plops down in his own seat.
Surprisingly Luckily, none of them decided to bring up what had happened earlier and worked in silence. They were actually very studious for a group of frat guys. The two hour time slot was coming to an end and you were starting to think you could get out of there without further incident— hopefully forgetting it altogether and preserve the memory of the blue-eyes boy you used to know, instead of what he had become.
“Thank you again for coming.” Nanami thanked you as he held the door open for you— ever the gentleman.
“No problem! I should be thanking you. I really needed some study time and you’re a great tutor.” A light blush crept up his neck and he cleared his throat.
“Can we talk?” You couldn’t help the startled gasp that escaped you when Gojo’s voice sounded from right behind you— cutting Nanami off. You hadn’t heard him approach. You will your heart to slow down before you turn to face him— arms crossed, brows furrowed. He was looking at his feet, and for a moment, just a moment, he looked like that sweet boy from way back when. Maybe that’s what made you agree.
“Fine.” Your answer is flat. He perks up at that, straightening back to his full height, eyes still not quite meeting yours. You turn back to Kento and give him a smile. “I guess I’ll see you in class Monday.” He looks between the two of you— face unreadable, then he nods.
“Alright. Will I see you Saturday?”
“Wouldn’t miss it.” The corner of his lip turns up just slightly before it falls again. He nods, gives Gojo what seems to be a warning look before heading off. Once he’s out of earshot, you turn to the man next to you. “Well?”
