gojo didn't know how to provide you with comfort.
you were upset, again. you'd both been watching a movie and out of nowhere you just started sobbing, covering your face with your hands and letting your tears soak into the skin of your palms.
and gojo wanted to comfort you, he truly did, but he didn't know how. he didn't know how to comfort you, because every time he tried, it wasn't enough. to him, it seemed almost impossible, and to you it seemed like the easiest thing ever if he'd just take a second and think.
you always had to deal with this in relationships, never getting the kind of comfort you wanted. it was such a simple thing, you weren't asking for much. you just wanted to be held and told that everything would be okay, how was that so difficult?
you didn't understand it. you didn't understand why no guy you'd ever been with was able to use their brains and actually comfort you when you needed comfort. was it really so farfetched to want someone to just hush you gently and call you a few pet names to calm you down?
it's like not a single man on the planet had a brain, and gojo, as seemingly perfect as he was, was apparently no different than the rest of them. because he didn't know what to do either. he just .. sat there, staring at you, unsure of what to say or what to do with his hands.
he wanted to help, but everything he tried to do never worked. he tried asking you what was wrong one time and you just cried harder, when he tried telling you that maybe some sleep would make you feel better, you just got mad at him, and when he said " you'll get through this, you're not alone. " you got mad at him for that too!
he didn't understand what you wanted him to do. he'd tried everything he could think of, and he wasn't very good at being .. personal or intimate after suguru's death. he just didn't understand.
and you didn't wanna teach him. you didn't want to have to tell him, because then it wouldn't feel real. it wouldn't feel like he's doing it out of his own volition.
you knew everything would be easier if you just told him what you wanted to hear, but you were so tired of having to teach people about yourself and what works for you instead of them trying to learn it, you wanted him to figure it out without guidance, even though you knew it was unlikely.
even though you knew you'd end up sobbing continuously, not receiving the comfort you wanted. he wanted to comfort you, he truly did. but he didn't know how.
and he doesn't think he ever will.
a/n: this is totally not based off of my relationship struggles! entirely not guys, this is 100% totally not a self-insert! haha.. ha..
