summary : being the center of gojo satoru's devotion can be exhausting. but what if the one satoru truly wants is one of the higher up's pretty wife? (news flash, he doesn't really care if you're married)
content: yearning, gojo is v desperate for you, possessiveness, cheating (yea girl you're cheating), secret kisses, forbidden love (very small fic)
"gojo sama. what if someone sees-"
he quickly cut you off with a desperate kiss. his hands grabbing your waist and gripping it tight, pulling you close until there was no space left between both bodies.
cheeks flushed with a bright blush blooming across your cheeks, you tried to peek past his shoulder and in response he pushed you against the wall.
where were you guys again?
oh. that's right. you both were feverishly making out like teenagers in one of the many extravagant hallways of the gojo estate.
"i told you, its satoru" he said as he bit your lower lip.
you looked up at him, staring at his cerulean eyes before forcing yourself out of this delusion. this could not go on, this was highly inappropriate. to imagine that someone found out that the strongest sorcerer of modern age was desperately kissing one of the higher up's wife would be far more scandalous than anything.
but then again, how could satoru not. how could he not notice you, especially with his six eyes. he still remembers the day he first saw you.
he had heard that one of the senior higher ups had remarried again, and he had chosen someone who has about 20 years younger than him. and of course, you didn't really have a choice. your family was one of the sorcerer families on the lower hierarchy so you did not have much of a say. matter of fact, your parents were delighted that you would be married to someone who was of such a high ranking in the jujutsu world. but then again, no one had a higher rank than gojo satoru himself.
and there you were, sitting in a soft baby pink kimono, your hair in a pretty bun with small dianthus flowers adorning around it. you were surprisingly sitting in the meeting room, the presence of a woman wasn't something that the elders ever wanted yet on that day, he guessed you were an exception. you sat with all the other elders around you, right beside your husband who sat beside satoru, who obviously sat at the head of the table since he was the heir of the gojo clan. your gaze fixed to the ground shifted to meet his eyes. you tried not to gasp, seeing the gojo satoru for the first time. back then you didn't know that man would be the one feverishly giving you kisses and begging you to give him five more minutes.
you remembered how his eye twitched when your so called husband joked that the reason he brought you here was to show off his pretty new wife who was just too cute not to brag about. that's what you were reduced to back then, just a pretty object for men to ogle and dream about.
while satoru did agree that you were pretty, and by that he means you are achingly pretty. your soft gaze and smiles made him yearn for you. how he wished that he found you before that old fuck did.
after fleeting glances around the gojo estate where you could sometimes go to, he finally found you alone. in your own home, or technically your husband's. he knew your husband wasn't home, purposely sending him to a meeting somewhere far away so he could get a moment alone with you under the disguise that he initially came to meet your husband.
and of course, none of the servants would dare stop satoru as they left him alone with you at the garden. he remembered just how beautiful you looked, wearing a kimono that matched the shades of his eyes. you were tending the flowers and he watched you intently before actually noticing him and bowing down in respect. and to your shock, he bowed down as well. in fact, his head hung far lower than yours, showing you the absolute respect. you were surprised, really. you had never seen gojo bow his head down to anyone, not even your husband who was significantly older and never to any of the elders. yet, the strongest bowed down in respect only for you.
you guess, thats where it started from.
and here you were. everything felt like a fever dream. and those forbidden kisses were so addictive.
you murmured his name weakly against his passionate kisses.
"satoru, this isnt right.. mhmmmm-"
he broke the kiss and stared right at you, his forehead against yours. he was still in his black uniform, his blindfold pushed up to reveal his eyes that you adored so much.
"leave him, please.", satoru pleaded
he spoke with such a desperation, his voice pleading as he grabbed your hands. never in the 28 years of his life did he ever beg to anyone. never once. but here he was.
"satoru please, you know I can't. my family-"
his knees fell to the ground as he kneeled in front of you. his face grabbed your hips and he smushed his face to your clothed tummy.
"i cant see you with him anymore! i just want to fucking strangle him"
no one had ever seen him like this but then again it was okay because no one had ever made him feel like this. he did not want to think about anything else. just you and him and no one else.
you kneeled down and pressed a hand to this face, your gaze soft as you gave an achingly sweet kiss to his lips. all those late night conversations when you would sneak from bed to go to the garden, and he'd teleport to your husband's estate, fully knowing the risks of being caught. yet you both would sit by the koi pond and talk until the sun rose. he'd depart after giving you a sweet kiss.
satoru didn't care if you were married to someone else. he didn't care that you slept beside another man every night. at least thats what he convinced himself to believe. he'd ignore how his cursed energy would start flaring when he saw your husband even talking to you at events. he hated how his hand twitched, veins popping when your fucking husband put his ugly hand around your waist. he'd turn around, before anyone could notice. only you brought out the ugly possessive side of him. a side he never knew existed. satoru had always prided himself for thinking that he was a level headed sorcerer, thinking first and acting last. yet, he saw red when he saw you with another man.
maybe this was the universe's way of punishing him. punishing him for being the strongest.
"wait for me toru" you whispered against his hair
"i'll wait for you, forever, i promise" he said pressing your hands against his chest, desperate for your touch and warmth. he wanted you and you only. he wanted you to fill the void in his heart. he wanted your warmth to consume him whole until every atom of his body knew it belonged to you.
he was devoted to you like no other .
"i" peck "will" peck "come" peck "back" peck "to you"
satoru smiled against your lips, maybe it would be true one day. he hoped.
ps: i found this pic from pinterest and i just thought that this resembles both of them :p
summary: In which frat!gojo (who’s closeted nerd!gojo) falls for a girl without knowing it’s frat!sukuna’s "girl" (not entirely). gymrat!reader, nerd!reader, mean!reader (sometimes, mainly with gojo), biker!reader, biker!sukuna, fwb!sukuna (I had a stroke writing this description) slowburn, some smut at some point and fluff
The street outside the frat house was overall chill. Only a low and distant bass, and the occasional burst of laughter that spilled from an open window disrupted the silence of the evening.
Gojo was on his new bike, pretending to adjust something that didn’t need adjusting anymore. He had been like that for 10 minutes, smiling from ear to ear at every small memory of the previous day. And also, because he genuinely liked this new motorbike. He had never thought he’d love one so much, that he’d be so thrilled and proud of it. Though he knew the reason why he liked it as much was because she had been a part of the whole buying it process.
He knew he had to go in at some point. But going upstairs meant sitting alone with his thoughts. And lately, all his thoughts somehow led back to her: the way she had frowned at the price tags, the way she had called him stupid for choosing a bike too heavy for a beginner, the way she still stayed for hours helping him anyway, how she laughed with him by the end of the day… His chest still felt embarrassingly warm from it.
Behind him, Sukuna leaned against the railing of the frat house, cigarette between his fingers.
“You downgraded already?” he finally spoke, walking down the entrance stairs and throwing his finished cigarette “Or did you finally crashed it?” he smirked a toothy grin as he walked towards his bike. But Gojo didn’t seem bothered, and Sukuna noticed. In fact, he even smiled, running his hand through the tank of his Yamaha. And the reason why he didn’t care was that:
“She helped me pick it,”
The second the words left Gojo’s mouth, he regretted them. But he didn’t correct himself.
“You’re really down bad, wow” Sukuna said, half amused, half sour. Gojo rolled his eyes automatically.
“As if that’s news”
“No,” Sukuna replied calmly “I just didn’t think you were this pathetic about it” Gojo scoffed, but there wasn’t much bite behind it. And Sukuna kept going after a long second of inspecting the white-haired boy “She says your name now,”
That made Gojo snap his gaze to his side, to Sukuna.
“What?” He asked, his heart stupidly quickening even though he wasn’t even sure what he meant by that. Sukuna didn’t look at him, instead his eyes seemed lost somewhere ahead of him as he rested leisurely on his bike, arms on his helmet that rested on the tank. One foot on the footpeg, the other one on the asphalt.
“She used to call you ‘that asshole’” Sukuna shrugged lightly “‘that idiot,” he added, imitating her tone almost mockingly. But that wasn’t his real intention.
And stupidly, warmth bloomed in Gojo’s chest for another second before he could stop it. A warmth that would no doubt travel to his cheeks and ears. And, of course, Sukuna noticed from the corner of his eyes.
“Bet she was all focused and bossy helping you pick the bike too”
Gojo frowned slightly, now realizing this was Sukuna, and thus becoming more wary.
“What’s that supposed to mean”
Sukuna’s mouth twitched faintly.
“You like that about her, don’t you?”
And Gojo hated that he was right, because he did. He liked the way she ordered him around, the way she rolled her eyes, the way she acted like she knew better than him. The way she’d smile at him like she had started to do lately, or the way she shook her head like he was a lost case but still stayed with him. He liked every awful second of it.
Then Sukuna spoke again, quietly and eyes still ahead of them as if he was contemplating something. Or from his next words, as if he was picturing it vividly.
“You’d lose your mind if you saw her embarrassed after sex,” And then silence, immediate and deafening. Gojo felt his stomach twist. Especially because Sukuna wasn’t smirking, he wasn’t bragging, that was the worst part. Instead, he sounded honest “It’s weird,” he continued casually “Sometimes she’s all mean and bossy” Then his eyes finally slid toward Gojo “And sometimes she’s begging and falling apart”
Gojo’s jaw tightened instantly, but his mind betrayed him immediately. And he hated it. He hated Sukuna for saying it and hated himself more for imagining it. But Sukuna just kept going like this conversation meant nothing, eyes set ahead of them again.
“She scratches a lot when she’s close” Gojo stared at him now, brows straightening more and more “She bites too.”
Something ugly coiled in Gojo’s chest. Jealousy, sharp, hot and humiliating. Because suddenly, after how difficult it had been to forget it, all he could think about was her, close to someone else, to him, touching him and letting him see versions of her he had spent months trying to earn scraps of. And Sukuna knew exactly what he was doing now.
“She doesn’t even notice she’s doing it half the time,” he added.
Gojo looked away, his stomach turning even more. It felt unfair, pathetic, even. But he managed to laugh. Dry and fake.
“Congrats on having sex, man” He said, inevitably weakly. And he knew it sounded weak.
Sukuna’s mouth curved slightly at the corner. Not even smug, just knowing. Then he removed the kickstand of his bike and put on his helmet. Gojo looked up instinctively, frown still present. Sukuna turned on his bike but just a second, eyes looking at his through the tainted glass of his visor. Long enough to watch the damage settle, to make sure Gojo was really imagining it. And then, he left, just like that.

If Sukuna were asked how he would describe his oh-so-lovely girlfriend, he’d say you were difficult to deal with—stubborn, mouthy, irritating. A pain in his ass.
The funny thing was that if someone asked you the same question about him, your answer would be nearly identical. In fact, more than once, when Sukuna had lazily mentioned he couldn’t believe it had taken him almost two months to get you to agree to a date, you’d look him dead in the eye and say:
“This relationship isn’t exactly rainbows and sunshine, you know. Neither are you.”
He would only snort and roll his eyes at that.
Still, there were things Sukuna liked about you—things he’d never admit out loud.
Like the fact that you didn’t take shit from anyone. Not coworkers, not strangers, and certainly not him. You didn’t bend yourself into something more agreeable, didn’t soften your opinions to spare feelings, didn’t smile when you were angry or pretend to agree when you didn’t.
However, the first thing he’d noticed about you—before you’d even properly spoken—was your ass. The curve of it in a pair of jeans that looked like they’d been designed by God himself, and the immediate, unhelpful thought that followed: how good you’d look bent over. Honestly, that alone was probably what made him approach you in the first place.
The second thing he learned, shortly after your brief introduction (which, in hindsight, barely counted as one), was that if something annoyed you, everyone knew about it. Most people learned that after one conversation and so did he, when you refused to entertain him for longer than three minutes.
A few months into the relationship—one he’d worked harder for than anything else in his life—Sukuna learned your warnings weren’t empty threats. When you said “don’t push me,” whether literally or metaphorically, you meant it. Unlike most people, you weren’t afraid of crossing lines.
You were perfectly willing to start a war over principle.
The first time he really understood that started with something stupid; something so small that absolutely should not have turned into a four-day argument.
At the time, you’d only been living together for about two weeks. The apartment still felt new—unpacked boxes shoved into corners, your books stacked on the floor because neither of you (mainly Sukuna, who had claimed the task) had bothered assembling the shelves. Half your clothes hung over chairs because putting them away required effort neither of you could be bothered to summon.
The day before, Sukuna had spent nearly twenty minutes talking about mochi.
Twenty. Entire. Minutes.
You hadn’t known a person could talk about mochi for that long. Apparently, they could, especially if that person was Sukuna.
“It was different,” he’d insisted, leaning against the kitchen counter.
“Different how?” you asked.
“It just was.”
“Very descriptive,” you said dryly.
His eye twitched, but he kept going anyway. “The texture was perfect.”
“Fascinating,” you said, mock-gasping.
You were enjoying this far too much: for someone who claimed not to like sweets, Sukuna seemed oddly passionate about this specific dessert. That thought slipped out before you could stop it.
“You know, I didn’t realize you cared this much about mochi.”
His expression darkened immediately. “I don’t.”
“You’ve been talking about it for twenty minutes.”
You only grinned when the silence followed. Five full minutes of it because Sukuna knew that if he kept talking, he’d only prove your point.
Naturally, you couldn’t leave it alone.
“So they probably weren’t even that good.”
The reaction was instant. “What?”
You fought back a laugh. “I mean, they’re just mochi.”
“They were not just mochi.”
“Oh?” You smiled, victorious.
Sukuna narrowed his eyes, realizing you were doing this on purpose. You burst out laughing. His expression went flat.
He pushed off the counter, walked over, pressed a firm kiss to your temple, and mumbled a dry, “Goodnight,” before disappearing into the bedroom.
The next day, you decided to do something nice. Partly because you loved him. Partly because annoying him only worked when balanced with the occasional act of peace.
So you decided to make the famous mochi.
How hard could it be? The answer turned out to be: very. The dough stuck to everything. You nearly threw the entire batch into the trash twice. But somehow, after hours of trial and error, you managed to make it anyway.
By the time evening arrived, you had a container of mochi sitting proudly on the kitchen counter.
“Finally!” you beamed when Sukuna walked through the front door.
His gym bag hung from one shoulder, sweatpants riding low on his hips. A black compression shirt clung to his chest and arms, darkened with sweat from training. His pink hair was a mess, sticking out in different directions like he’d run a hand through it a dozen times on the way home.
The second he saw you, you practically bounced to your feet. Sukuna shot you a tired look.
“Miss me that much?”
“Don’t flatter yourself.” The smile on your face completely ruined the insult.
He snorted and headed straight for the bedroom.
You rushed into the kitchen first, then followed him, slipping into the bathroom without thinking—where he was already halfway through pulling his shirt over his head. The sight caught you off guard. For a second, you just stood there, staring at the hard lines of his stomach before remembering why you were there in the first place.
“Look, ’Kuna.” You held out the container, excitement practically vibrating in your voice.
Sukuna glanced over his shoulder and then turned back to the sink.
Your smile faltered—just slightly. You waited.
Nothing.
No smirk. No teasing comment. Not even a proper look. Just a quiet grunt.
“…Well?”
“What?”
“What do you mean, ‘what’?” You frowned. “The mochi.”
His eyes flicked to the container. “Looks fine.”
Just fine? You’d spent the entire day wrestling with sticky rice dough and nearly losing your sanity to powdered starch, and all he had to say was looks fine?
The excitement in your chest dimmed. Still, you swallowed the frustration down. Maybe he was exhausted, maybe training had been rough. Maybe he just needed five minutes to turn back into your annoyingly difficult but perfect boyfriend that loved you very much and liked paying attention to you.
“Try one after your shower.”
“Mm.”
You forced yourself not to roll your eyes—you hated how his communication sometimes reduced to random sounds, grunts, and half-finished sighs.
“It’s the same kind you wouldn’t shut up about.”
That finally got his attention. For a moment, it looked like he might actually try one right there and then. However, instead he frowned, eyebrows knitting together.
“Tsk. Can’t eat those. Cutting calories.”
Something in your chest snapped. You didn’t argue—didn’t raise your voice. You didn’t even give him the satisfaction of reacting. You’d already given him a chance to fix it. He didn’t.
So you stayed quiet.
He, on the other hand, decided you were done talking and stepped into the shower like nothing had happened.
Five minutes later, the mochi—and the entire container you hadn’t bothered taking them out of—hit the bottom of the trash with a dull thud.
You didn’t speak to him for four days afterward.
The second time Sukuna realized just how far you were willing to go when someone pushed your buttons came about a month later. By then, he’d already learned a few things about you. He knew that when you got quiet, he should probably start apologizing. He knew that when you crossed your arms and tilted your head, he was seconds away from hearing an opinion he wasn’t going to enjoy.
The problem was that Sukuna rarely listened when people told him what to do. Especially when annoying them was significantly more entertaining.
It started innocently enough. You were making dinner. Sukuna was being useless, which, in fairness, wasn’t unusual.
You stood at the counter, chopping vegetables, while he leaned against the kitchen island, arms crossed over his chest, offering absolutely no assistance whatsoever.
“You’re cutting those uneven.”
“That one’s bigger than the others.”
“You should learn how to hold the knife better.”
You sighed, though it was clear you weren’t really mad. “Are you going to help, or are you going to stand there and criticize my cutting skills?”
“The second one.”
At first, the banter was pleasant. Easy. The kind of conversation that came from spending enough time around someone that silence never felt awkward. Then Sukuna spotted the bowl of freshly cut cucumber slices, and unfortunately for you, Sukuna possessed the emotional maturity of an overgrown child when he was bored.
A hand darted out. One slice disappeared.
Crunch.
You glanced over. He stared back innocently.
You narrowed your eyes, “Don’t.”
“What?”
“You know what.”
Another stolen slice, another crunch.
You pointed the knife at him. “Quit stealing.”
“No.” Sukuna smirked.
You exhaled slowly. Fine, whatever. You went back to chopping.
Thirty seconds later—crunch.
You turned your head to the side. Another cucumber slice was gone. You then moved your gaze to your boyfriend, who dared to grin at you like he’d done nothing wrong, like you hadn’t told him to stop already, several times.
You weren’t talking to him anymore, which should’ve been his first warning to quit. Instead, the smug bastard reached straight for the cutting board.
He only got away with it once more.
The next time his hand moved in, your head snapped toward him and the knife came down.
THUNK.
The blade embedded itself into the cutting board exactly where his fingertips had been less than a second earlier. He jerked his hand back instantly.
His red eyes flicked from the knife to his hand, then back to the knife. Slowly, then to you. He looked like he couldn’t believe you’d actually done it.
“…Are you insane?!”
You shrugged, “Told you to quit it.”
A lesser man wouldn’t have put up with you—not your temper, not your stubbornness, and certainly not your increasingly questionable methods of proving a point. Fortunately—or unfortunately—Sukuna wasn’t exactly normal either. If anything, he was just as bad. Maybe worse.
Like the time you gave him the silent treatment over something he considered completely insignificant. You considered it principle. He considered it stupid. The argument lasted all of ten minutes. Yet the aftermath lasted three days.
Normally, Sukuna would’ve waited you out. You were stubborn, but so was he. This time, though, he decided he was tired of being ignored. That should’ve worried you because whenever Sukuna got tired of something, he tended to fix it in the most ridiculous way possible.
It was late when he picked you up from a girls’ night out. You were still annoyed. Still refusing to speak to him. That didn’t stop you from getting into the car, though. After all, what else was a boyfriend you were actively ignoring supposed to be good for?
The first five minutes passed in silence.
The low hum of the engine filled the car. Streetlights flickered across the windows.
Sukuna drummed his fingers against the steering wheel. “Still mad?”
Not a word from you.
“That’s cute.”
You kept your gaze fixed out the window when he spoke again.
“You’re dragging this out.”
A quiet scoff was all he got in return.
He clicked his tongue. “Brat.”
Finally, you turned your head. Your eyes met his, sharp and unyielding. You held his gaze just long enough to make your point perfectly clear—you weren’t talking to him until he apologized properly. Then you looked away again.
The next time your eyes met, he didn’t look away.
The car kept moving. His hands stayed on the wheel. His foot remained on the gas. His eyes stayed entirely on you.
“I’m not looking away until you say something.”
Your gaze flicked briefly toward the windshield. The road ahead stretched dark and empty under scattered streetlights. Not another car in sight, but there was no way he was actually doing this.
He wasn’t that crazy. Right?
He had to be messing with you. Trying to provoke a reaction. Break your silence. You refused to give him the satisfaction. Instead, you shrugged and looked back at him, silently daring him to follow through.
Sukuna’s stare didn’t waver, not even slightly. The bastard looked genuinely unhinged at this point—you weren’t even sure he was blinking.
Ten seconds passed.
Your lips pressed together harder.
A muscle ticked in his jaw.
His foot pressed a little further down on the gas.
The engine hummed louder.
Out of the corner of your eye, you saw his knuckles tighten around the steering wheel, keeping the car perfectly straight despite his complete refusal to look away.
You knew he knew this road. He drove it practically every day. You also knew he’d have to look away eventually. Nobody was stupid enough to keep this up forever. Then again—this was Sukuna. Stupidity fueled by spite was practically his specialty.
You weren’t scared in the slightest. The alcohol still buzzing pleasantly in your system dulled anything resembling self-preservation. But your heartbeat picked up anyway. However, not from fear. But from that sharp, familiar spark that always appeared when the two of you refused to yield. When neither of you was willing to lose. When common sense quietly left the room and stubbornness took over.
It was ridiculous.
Childish.
Dangerous.
Your legs pressed together almost unconsciously, and you shifted—subtly at first, then more deliberately. Sukuna noticed immediately when you started rubbing your thighs. His gaze dipped before it snapped back to your face, his mouth curling into a slow, infuriating grin—canines just barely showing.
He knew. Knew you were seconds away from breaking, whether that meant saying something first or doing something else entirely.
The tension in the car snapped like a wire pulled too tight. You couldn’t take it anymore. The air in the car felt thick, pressing against your skin, sticking your clothes to you in a way that suddenly felt unbearable, making you want to rip them off.
“Pull over,” you said. “Now.”
Sukuna didn’t need to be told twice.
The car jerked off the road, tires crunching over gravel as he brought it to a stop beneath a dim streetlight. The engine stayed running.
Neither of you moved. Just looked at each other. His smirk widened—barely contained, almost dangerous in how entertained he looked.
That was it.
You moved first.
Unbuckling your seatbelt in one sharp motion, you climbed over the center console and settled into his lap. His hands came to your waist immediately, like he’d been waiting for you to do exactly that; a low exhale left him, more amused than anything, as if you’d just confirmed every assumption he had about you.
Your skirt rode up as you shifted, straddling his thighs properly now, and Sukuna’s hands slid down without hesitation. Palms dragging along your bare legs before returning up, fingers digging into the soft flesh of your ass, tightening there like he was anchoring you in place.
You grabbed the back of his hair and pulled just enough to tilt his head toward you.
He didn’t resist.
The kiss came fast—impatient, heated, all lingering frustration and unresolved argument. When you pulled back slightly, you were still close enough to feel his warm breath against your mouth.
“You still owe me an apology,” you murmured.
Sukuna huffed a quiet laugh.
Your lips traveled down the side of his neck, teeth lightly sinking into the spot just above his collarbone that you knew made him squirm. You felt it— the slight shift in his grip. The way his fingers flexed like he was deciding whether to pull you closer or hold you still.
“Oh, don’t worry, brat,” he said, voice low as you moved your hips, grinding yourself against the tight stretch of his jeans. “You’ll get it.”
Your relationship with Sukuna was a constant push and pull.
Bad decisions layered over worse ones, like neither of you had ever learned what consequences were or maybe you just didn’t care enough to stop, because deep down there wasn’t much, if anything, that could make either of you walk away. You were head over heels for him, and he wasn’t much better—a man obsessed, because he’d found someone who could actually keep up with him.
It wasn’t healthy. Not even close. Any reasonable person would’ve packed their bags and disappeared a long time ago from a relationship like this. But nothing about the two of you had ever been reasonable or normal.
Somehow, every messed-up moment only seemed to pull you tighter together, like something neither of you could outrun even if you tried. Even when your plans—or his—backfired.
Like the time you got annoyed that he kept using your expensive hair products, so you replaced them with black dye. And when he realized you’d basically dyed his hair without permission? He didn’t get mad, didn’t even look annoyed. If anything, he looked pleased.
He ran a hand through his now black hair, checked himself in the mirror, then glanced at you with that same sharp, knowing look. He didn’t need to call you out. You both already knew you were responsible for this.
“Looks good.”
And, admittedly, it did. He looked good, but you missed the pink. Badly enough that you even offered to book him a salon appointment to fix it after a week of getting jumpscared every time he walked through the front door.
You still hadn’t fully adjusted to black hair being attached to your boyfriend.
He didn’t take you up on your salon suggestion. Instead, the moment his pink roots started growing in, he just buzzed it all off.
When you saw him come home that night, you were genuinely shocked. You weren’t the type to dictate how your boyfriend should look, but still—you told him that if he shaved his hair off again, you’d shave your eyebrows.
It was meant to sound like a threat. You were pretty sure you wouldn’t look great without them.
Sukuna looked at you for a second, then said you’d look “batshit insane.”
⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Gojo Satoru who can't go five minutes without your attention
It was unusually quiet that afternoon, save for the steady scratching of your pen against paper. You sat at the long table near the windows, hunched slightly over a mountain of notes, textbooks, and practice worksheets. Finals were approaching fast, and despite being one of the strongest sorcerers in your year, you still had to pass written exams like everyone else.
The sunlight filtered through the tall glass panes, spilling across highlighted pages and dog-eared notebooks. It caught the loose strands of hair that had escaped your ponytail as you focused intently on memorizing curse classifications and historical incidents. You had already lost an hour to distractions earlier and refused to waste any more time.
Focus, you reminded yourself. Block it all out.
Even Especially him.
Across the room, sprawled across the leather couch like a melodramatic corpse, was Gojo Satoru.
He had been there for twenty minutes.
Sighing.
Loudly. Repeatedly. Annoyingly.
He would inhale through his nose like he was summoning the ghosts of his ancestors and exhale like a dying actor in a tragic play. The first few sighs had been met with passive silence. Then a single raised brow from Suguru. Then a sideways glance from Shoko, who was attempting to review anatomy notes in the armchair nearby. But you did not look up once.
Another sigh.
Suguru turned a page of his study guide with unnecessary force.
Another sigh, this time with a pitiful leg flop added for flair.
Shoko clicked her tongue, marked her place in her notebook, and dropped it onto her lap.
"Do you breathe like that on purpose or are your lungs just built different?" she asked without looking at him.
Satoru rolled onto his back, letting his legs dangle over the armrest like a man who had been sentenced to the cruel fate of not being the center of attention for twenty consecutive minutes.
"No one pays attention to me anymore," he declared to the ceiling, his voice filled with anguish. "I've been attention-starved for twenty whole minutes. This is oppression."
"You are proof that being gifted and being annoying are not mutually exclusive." Suguru muttered, not glancing up from his workbook.
"But I am suffering, Suguru," Satoru cried, clutching at his chest. "The woman I adore sits right there, and she won't even glance my way."
You didn't glance up. Your hand moved steadily across the page.
Shoko blinked slowly and looked at you with a small frown. Suguru snorted softly behind his workbook. The tension built like steam in a kettle.
Satoru groaned again. This time louder. Longer. He flipped onto his stomach and dragged his cheek across the couch like a cat seeking attention.
"Name," he called in a high, pitiful whine. "Name. Naaame."
You kept writing.
"Hello," he said, louder. "Pretty girl with the intimidating silence."
You flipped a page.
Satoru gasped as though physically wounded.
"Come on," he whined, rolling onto his side to face you. He propped his head up with one hand and blinked dramatically. "Just one word. One little acknowledgment. I will perish otherwise."
He began to make soft sounds—exaggerated sniffles, a very dramatic fake cough, the rustling of him rolling restlessly across the couch in search of purpose.
Finally, your patience cracked like thin ice.
Your pen clicked against the wooden table with a snap.
"Satoru," you said without lifting your eyes.
The room fell silent in a heartbeat.
Satoru, eyes widening, sat up as if electrified. His invisible tail might as well have started wagging behind him, back and forth, thump thump thump, as he waited like a dog who had finally been acknowledged.
"Yes!" he said, eyes shining.
You finally looked up, slowly, meeting his eager gaze. Your expression was flat, your voice deadpan.
"Go make me a coffee."
His smile did not falter. If anything, it brightened.
"Right away!" he chirped, leaping up with too much enthusiasm.
Suguru blinked.
"You're disturbingly happy to be used," he said.
"I am in love," Satoru replied with a straight face, already halfway to the kitchenette.
Shoko watched him open the cabinet and immediately drop the coffee pod onto the floor.
"He's like a man whose entire sense of self is powered by external validation," she muttered.

CHAPTER ONE.
It was not often that Gojo Satoru had time to be bored.
Japan, unfortunately for him, was a thriving breeding ground for the very problems he was tasked with eradicating—like a wound that never quite closed, always reopening in new and unpleasant ways.
Autumn was the worst of season with the most work. The air turned damp and heavy, saturated with a quiet that clung to skin and seeped into bone. Curses bloomed like mould in forgotten corners, thriving where sunlight refused to linger.
The higher-ups issued assignments without pause, stacking them like cursed talismans on an altar that never stopped growing, never granting him even a moment to simply breathe. Meetings he was forced to attend dragged on interminably, though Satoru usually contributed nothing more than long legs stretched lazily across the table, a tilt of his head, theatrical sighs, and ill-timed commentary that earned him synchronized glares from every direction. . .
Gojo Satoru was constantly moving—whether from one mission to the next, or simply pacing from one side of a room to the other because stillness felt like a cage he refused to sit inside. He was everywhere he was needed, and nowhere he was wanted at the same time.
And yet, sometimes, between all of it—between exorcisms that left invisible stains of cursed energy, between paperwork he absolutely did not read and reports he absolutely did not write—silence settled.
Not the peaceful kind. Never the peaceful kind. It was a dangerous silence, the sort that did not soothe but sharpened. Because when Satoru was bored, his mind did not rest. It wandered. It prowled. It found loose threads and pulled until something unraveled.
Boredom, however fleeting, was always the birthplace of his worst ideas—the kind that arrived dressed as brilliance, glittering and certain, only to detonate spectacularly the moment he chose to act on them.
Ever since Itadori Yuji had stuffed one of Sukuna’s shrivelled fingers down his throat as though it were an expired protein bar rather than an ancient cursed relic, and subsequently enrolled at Jujutsu High, Satoru had been stretched thin in ways even he could not entirely ignore—though he would have insisted otherwise if asked.
He was constantly searching for the remaining fingers of Ryomen Sukuna—those ugly little relics of something that should have stayed dead and forgotten—so they could eventually be served to Yuji as his final “meal” before execution. Or rather, he pretended to search for them with the kind of theatrical diligence the higher-ups adored. They loved the illusion of effort.
And Gojo Satoru was nothing if not a performer.
Between that grand performance and the reports he never bothered to write after missions, he was regularly dispatched to exorcise Grade 1 and Special Grade curses, as though he were some divine exterminator on call. A god with a schedule. A weapon with appointment slots.
More than once, he considered not going—not out of fear, never that—but because the routine was beginning to feel like chewing the same flavorless candy until even the memory of sweetness had vanished.
It was not as though the higher-ups could truly punish him. What were they going to do—fire him? Execute him? The thought almost made him laugh out loud.
Sometimes, he entertained the idea of skipping missions purely to see how creative their threats might become. Or better yet, how desperately inventive they would grow when forced to reel him back in.
But he always went.
Because if he did not—if he refused the heavier assignments, the more dangerous ones—then they would simply be redirected elsewhere. Students like Megumi or Yuji would be sent in his place. It was no secret that, due to the chronic shortage of sorcerers, assignments were often mismatched in difficulty.
While Satoru was fond of his hands-on philosophy—throwing students into the fire and trusting they would learn not to burn—he was not heartless. His students were brilliant. They had him as a teacher, after all. But even brilliance could choke on something too large to swallow.
So he accepted every mission without much protest.
And it was after one of those last-minute “urgent” assignments in the city—where a curse tore through an abandoned bar like rot through wood—that Gojo Satoru encountered someone he had never expected to see again.
✧ ✧ ✧
The curse died the way all of them did when Satoru decided he was finished with it. One moment it was there—this swollen, half-aware mass of rotting limbs and stitched-together mouths—and the next, it simply wasn’t.
Satoru stepped out of the abandoned bar, hands buried in his pockets, posture loose enough to suggest he had just finished a casual errand rather than erasing something born from human despair.
Fresh air replaced the stench of rot.
The city carried on as if nothing had happened. Cars murmured in the distance. A vending machine clunked somewhere down the block. A drunk laughed too loudly outside a convenience store with a dying neon sign. Ordinary sounds, stitched together into an ordinary world that had no idea how close it had just come to being altered.
Satoru glanced around. He recognized this place. Too well, in fact. Megumi and Tsumiki used to live nearby. A lifetime ago, though it had not been nearly that long.
He checked the time. One hour before he was supposed to meet Megumi and Yuji to pick up their new classmate. Plenty of time.
Nostalgia tugged at him. Boredom followed immediately after. Before he could properly dismiss either, his feet moved on their own, not toward the station or back to the school, butt down streets he had not walked in years.
The city grew quieter here. Laundry swayed from balconies. Somewhere nearby, dinner simmered—garlic and oil drifting through open windows. Cicadas hummed lazily.
And then when he turned the corner, he saw you, sitting on what barely qualified as a balcony, more narrow ledge than anything else. The railing pressed lightly against your shoulder, chipped paint flaking under your sleeve. One leg tucked beneath you, the other angled loosely, a cup of tea balanced in your hand. Steam rose in fragile spirals, dissolving into the afternoon light.
Your other hand held your phone.
Your brows were drawn together. Your lip was caught between your teeth. Your eyes narrowed at the screen.
Sunlight spilled over you, softening everything it touched. For a moment, Satoru felt like he had wandered into a romance film that was trying a little too hard. All that was missing was slow piano music and a dramatic gust of wind that existed purely for symbolism.
You looked different. Older. Still beautiful, though.
You did not notice him, which was not surprising.
He stood at the far edge of the sidewalk, hands in his pockets, black blindfold stark against white hair, watching. Even if you glanced in his direction, he doubted you would have made him out clearly.
Satoru wondered, absently, whether face-to-face would change anything, whether you would remember him at all. He would not have called you a friend. Acquaintance, maybe. Even that felt stretched thin because he could easily count the conversations he had with you on one hand and still have fingers left over.
The first time he heard your name, it had come from Tsumiki. It had meant nothing then. Just noise in a life already crowded with obligations. A passing mention in a warm kitchen that smelled faintly of something baked.
“She’s really nice,” Tsumiki had said, as if that explained everything worth knowing.
You helped carry groceries upstairs when her bags were too heavy. You came back the next day with cookies.
After that first interaction, your presence had started to accumulate quietly around them. Not dramatic, just persistent, like warmth that refused to leave a room once it had entered.
You always appeared at Tsumiki and Megumi's door without warning. Said you had cooked too much breakfast. Or ordered too much food. Or simply did not like waste. Excuses that never sounded rehearsed. You knocked just to say hello sometimes. Asked if they were alright. If they needed anything. If they had eaten.
And more than once, Tsumiki had told Satoru—with quiet fondness—you offered to stop by a shop on your way home, just in case they needed groceries.
Satoru had only seen you a handful of times back then. The first had been a Saturday morning when he stayed over.
Sunlight had spilled across the apartment floor in lazy stripes. He, Tsumiki, and Megumi had been sitting in the living room when the knock came.
Tsumiki had lit up immediately.
“She always brings something she baked on Saturdays!”
Even Megumi had straightened, betraying the smallest flicker of anticipation he would never admit to.
Satoru, self-appointed responsible adult in the room, had gotten up first. Not because he needed to, but because curiosity had a way of pulling him forward before caution could catch up.
He had opened the door and there you were. Warm plate of cinnamon rolls balanced carefully in your hands. The glaze gleamed. Steam curled upward, carrying butter and spice.
For a full thirty seconds, Satoru had stared at the plate instead of you—his fingers had actually twitched, itching to snatch one of the rolls, but instead he forced himself to raise his gaze.
His first thought was that you were younger than expected you to be. His second was that you were exactly his type. His third thought never got the chance to fully form because the situation immediately started collapsing under its own awkward gravity.
From your perspective, a stranger had opened the door to the apartment where two children you cared about lived. Tsumiki had mentioned a guardian, but you had imagined someone older. Not a young man with snow-white hair, an unreadable grin, and eyes like they had stolen color from the sky itself.
You had frozen, trying, rapidly, to determine whether he was family, or safe, or neither. There was no resemblance between him and the children.
Your grip on the plate had tightened. So much so that, for a brief and alarming moment, you had looked like you might actually swing it at him. And you would have, too—probably—if Tsumiki had not stepped in just in time to prevent what would have gone down in history as Satoru Gojo’s most undignified possible death: by pastry.
You did not stay for tea that day, even though you usually did. That time, embarrassment had won. Especially after Satoru, far too pleased with himself, teased you about attempted assault with baked goods as if it were a perfectly reasonable topic of conversation.
Before you left, he had given you his number.
Back then, Satoru avoided relationships. He was young, reckless, and allergic to commitment. More of a fuck-and-dip type of guy. He knew he would have treated you the same way, carelessly, and that definitely would have ruined the fragile connection between you and the kids. He did not want that. He liked knowing someone else watched over them too.
So he left everything—you—alone.
Now, years later, Satoru walked past your balcony without even pretending not to look. His footsteps, softened by Infinity, made no sound.
You still did not notice him. Of course you didn’t. You were absorbed in something ordinary—phone, tea, the quiet irritation of existing in a world that demanded attention in small, exhausting ways.
He could have called out your name and said hello. He could have started the conversation by asking if you remembered him and the time you nearly smashed a plate into his head. He could have asked you out on a date—he has not been on one in a while.
It would be nice to catch up,
Even if the date lead nowhere. Even if it was meaningless. Even if it would end up only being another way to pass time between exorcisms and obligations and the endless swallowing void of being Satoru Gojo.
He could have made this simple, but simplicity had never been his preference. It was too boring, and Gojo Satoru had never been good at boring things.
So he kept walking.
If he re-entered your life, it would not be quietly.
✧ ✧ ✧
A few days later, he sent the letter. Not a romantic confession. Certainly not a polite invitation to dinner either. Inside was one of Sukuna’s fingers, one that he had found a day or two ago.
Satoru calculated the outcome carefully.
It should attract a few low-level curses. Nothing dangerous—nothing that would reach you properly, not in a neighbourhood as quietly cursed as yours. Just enough to stir the air. Enough to make the windows tremble in their frames. Enough to leave you uneasy when the lights flickered at night or the hallway felt a fraction too long.
Enough, in other words, to create a reason. A reason for him to appear, a reason to “save the day.”
It would not hurt you.
It should not hurt you.
That distinction sat comfortably in his mind, like a rule that had never once been challenged. In his interpretation, it was simple mathematics: risk reduced, outcome controlled, Satoru Gojo inserted as necessary variable. A perfectly sane plan. Almost elegant, if he ignored the fact that it involved planting danger as a pretext for attention.
After all, who would refuse a date with a man who arrived just in time to save them from a curse?
Surely, you would not.
✧ ✧ ✧
When you came home that evening, shoulders aching and the faint smell of copier ink and stale office air still clinging stubbornly to your clothes, you nearly stepped on the envelope.
It sat perfectly centred on your doormat.
You paused mid-step, keys still pinched between your fingers. The hallway light hummed overhead with a tired, fluorescent buzz. Somewhere above you, old pipes groaned as water pushed through them like a reluctant sigh.
For a moment, you only looked at it. Then you nudged it with the toe of your shoe. No stamp. No address. No name. Just thick, expensive paper, the kind of material used for wedding invitations or legal documents.
The envelope barely bent when you picked it up.
You glanced down the empty corridor once more, as if expecting someone to still be standing there watching, before unlocking your door and stepping inside.
The lock clicked shut behind you.
You did not open the envelope immediately. Only later, when you were curled on the couch with your legs tucked beneath you, a rerun of a show you barely watched murmuring from the television, did you finally tear it open.
The tearing of paper sounded unnaturally loud in the apartment.
Paper split cleanly beneath your fingers before something small and weighted dropped into your lap. You flinched.
At first, you did not understand what you were looking at. A bundle, tightly wrapped in thick, yellowed bandages. Old-looking. The cloth the colour of aged parchment left too long in the dark. Dark ink crawled across its surface in patterns you did not recognise.
Your instincts recoiled before your thoughts caught up.
Cold pricked along your spine. You did not touch the small bundle. You only stared at it as the air in the room shifted, not temperature, but in a feeling, like the space itself had thickened around you.
You thought you saw something under the bandages—just for a second. A faint distortion, like heat rippling off asphalt in summer. Except darker.
Slowly, carefully, as if the bundle might unwrap itself if you were careless, you lifted it and placed it on the coffee table.
Eventually, exhaustion caught up with your fear. You had work in the morning and you were more than ready to go to bed. So you did what you always did when something did not fit into your understanding of the world. You refused to engage with it.
You should have thrown the bundle away. Instead, you stood, walked to your bookshelf, and placed it on the highest shelf you had—behind a row of old novels you never reread but could not bring yourself to discard.
Out of sight, yet not out of mind.
By most standards, you were painfully normal.
You paid your bills on time. You filed your taxes. You complained, regularly and with conviction, about traffic lights that stayed red too long and grocery prices that seemed to climb out of spite. You rewatched the same shows until entire episodes lived in your head like second memories, until you could recite entire scenes without looking at the screen.
Yeah, you were pretty normal, except for one small, inconvenient detail.
You could see curses.
They lingered where light struggled to reach—corners of ceilings, the tight space beneath stairwells, the blind spots between streetlamps. They slid along alley walls, their shapes wrong in ways your mind tried and failed not to correct. Some were small and twichy things. Others were swollen, layered massses stitched together like an unfinshed crafts project.
You learned early not to stare too long because if you did, they seemed to notice.
For half of your life, you had convinced yourself it was stress caused hallucinations. When you got older, you blamed it all on trick of light and fatigue. That last belief lasted until your great-great-grandfather gripped your wrist from his hospital bed.
His skin had been paper-thin, translucent in places, stretched over bone. The monitors beside him beeped in a slow, indifferent rhythm. But his eyes—his eyes were sharp. Unnaturally so. Too awake for a man so close to leaving.
He was not looking at you. His gaze was fixed slightly to the side, past your shoulder, toward the corner of the room where something small and green and wrong clung to wall like a stain that refused to be scrubbed away.
His fingers tightened around your wrist with surprising strength when he realized you knew what he was looking at.
“I see them too.”
His voice was dry, he did not look at you when he spoke again.
“Always have.”
That was all he gave you. No explanation or comfort that might have softened the impact of it. Just inheritance of the disturbing knowledge that you were not insane.
He died before you could ask anything else.
The only other person who ever seemed to acknowledge that fractured layer of reality without flinching was Satoru Gojo, the strange guardian of the children who once lived across the hall.
You remembered the moment he found out you were like him.
The hallway had smelled of lemon cleaning solution. The fluorescent lights overhead flickered in uneven pulses, as you stepped outside with a trash bag and stopped so abruptly the plastic crinkled loud in your grip.
It was there.
A curse clung to the ceiling above your door like wet clay thrown and forgotten. Blackened. Glossy. One swollen eye rolled slowly in its socket. A thin mouth hung open beneath it, lipless, slack, dripping something viscous that evaporated before it ever reached the floor.
Your lungs locked. Your fingers tightened around the bag until plastic bit into skin. You had never seen one that close to your home before.
Then, behind you—
“You can see them too?”
The voice was casual, curious, as if he had asked whether you preferred tea or coffee and not whether you could see things that were not supposed to exist.
“…Yeah.”
That was the entire conversation with Gojo.
The next day, the hallway was empty. The curse was gone, as if it had never been there at all. The same evening, there was a knock at your door.
You opened it to find Gojo leaning against the frame, sunglasses balanced lazily on the bridge of his nose despite the sun having set hours ago. One hand in his pocket. The other reaching forward before you could fully register the movement.
His fingers wrapped around your wrist, he raised your hand and placed something into your palm.
A dagger.
Slim. Perfectly balanced. The metal cool and impossibly clean. Faint symbols ran along the blade.
“In case one gets too close,” he said.
You had stared at the dagger, then at him, questions starting to form on the tip of your tongue. But there was no small talk that coud transition into please explain the supernatural horrors I can see everyday.
Before you could ask anything, he left.
Eventually, Megumi and Tsumiki moved away without goodbye. The apartment across the hall went dark and stayed that way. Gojo disappeared from your life as abruptly as he had entered it.
You woke with your throat burning. Dry and scratchy, like you had swallowed dust in your sleep. For a moment, you lay still, staring at the ceiling, trying to remember what had pulled you from slumber. Nothing—just thirst.
You dragged yourself out of bed, half-awake, eyes barely open, the cool floor pressing against your bare feet. The hallway stretched longer than usual. Quieter. You didn’t notice the shadows pooling too thickly in the corners. Didn’t hear the soft creak of wood that wasn’t your own steps. Didn’t feel the weight of something watching.
In the kitchen, your hands moved on autopilot. You grabbed a glass, turned on the tap. Water sputtered, then flowed steady, washing down the scratch in your throat as you brought the glass up to your mouth. You leaned against the counter, taking small sips.
“Where is it?!” a shrill voice screeched.
It didn’t come from a single point. It sliced through the air—metallic, grating, like claws dragged across slate.
Before you could even blink, the world flipped. One second you were leaning on the counter; the next, you were slammed face-first into the kitchen tiles. Glass crashed somewhere nearby, shards scattering across the floor. Pain bloomed across your ribs from the impact. Your cheek scraped against cold tile as your body hit the ground.
Something heavy pressed into your back, pinning you. You struggled, palms sliding uselessly on slick tile. The pressure intensified, forcing the air from your lungs. Your heart hammered violently, as if it might tear itself free from your chest. Sweat slicked your hands.
“Tell me, human! I do not have time for this!” the voice screeched directly into your ear.
Your stomach compressed. Something cracked. You choked on a scream, fearing it had been your rib, only to realize it was a piece of glass beneath you.
“WHERE IS IT?”
Tears blurred your vision, hot and humiliating. Panic ripped through you. Sleep evaporated completely.
“I—I don’t know what you want!” you stammered, voice broken, not even thinking to lie because you truly didn’t know.
A fist tangled in your hair. You screamed again as you were yanked upright, your scalp igniting with pain, like thousands of needles driving into your skull at once. Your feet left the ground.
“Sukuna’s finger,” the voice hissed, close—too close. “I can feel it here…”
You were spun around.
The curse loomed before you—human-shaped, but grotesquely wrong. Limbs bent at impossible angles. A mouth slit filled with jagged, uneven teeth stretched unnaturally wide. Its eyes gleamed with sharp intelligence. You had never seen one like this. You had never heard one speak.
It snarled, then flung you sideways.
You crashed into the counter, the edge biting into your back, then collapsed to the floor. White-hot pain shot up your spine.
“FETCH IT.”
It stepped back slightly, granting space—permission for you to move.
Your brain barely functioned. Survival instincts took over. You scrambled upright and bolted toward your bedroom like it was a sanctuary, even though you knew it wasn’t. It would have been wiser to run out of the apartment entirely, but that thought only surfaced as you slammed the door behind you, fumbling for the lock, hands shaking violently.
You didn’t have any severed fingers stashed in the pantry. You didn’t—
The bookshelf.
The bandaged bundle.
Your stomach dropped.
But you didn’t run for the living room. No. You ripped open drawers, flinging clothes aside, tearing through your closet. Your heart pounded so loudly you could barely hear your own ragged breathing.
The dagger.
Where had you put it?
You hadn’t needed it in years.
Your eyes landed on your nightstand—your phone. You lunged. Fingers moved faster than they ever had. Contacts. Scroll. Gojo. You had thought about calling him before, sometimes—just to ask about Megumi and Tsumiki—but you always hesitated. Always locked your phone and didn’t do it.
This time, you didn’t hesitate.
You pressed call. You tried not to think about the possibility that he had changed his number, or that you were calling someone you hadn’t spoken to in years. He was your only option for survival because it wasn’t like you could call the police. What were you even supposed to say? Hello, a curse is attacking me? They would have taken it for a prank call.
The ringing barely began when the bedroom door exploded inward.
Wood splintered like brittle paper. Hinges tore free. The door shattered across the room.
You screamed as the shockwave threw you backward. The phone flew from your hand, skidding just out of reach.
“I don’t have time for games, human,” the curse growled, stepping through the wreckage. Its presence pressed into your lungs—thick, suffocating, smelling of rot and metal.
Your knees buckled. Even if they hadn’t, there was nowhere to go. You crawled backward until your shoulders hit the side of the bed. Your eyes darted frantically—no escape route, no opening large enough to slip past it without dying.
“I—I don’t have it! Please, just—”
You didn’t even know what you were begging for. Mercy?Understanding? Anything? But curses did not offer either.
It advanced slowly. Each step made the floor groan. Your thoughts fractured: run, scream, grab something—anything—but nothing would save you. You were going to die.
As its shadow swallowed the space between you, you squeezed your eyes shut. If this was it—if this was the end—you did not want this monstrosity to be the last thing you ever saw.
A flash—blinding white—erupted through your closed eyelids so violently it felt like the world had been set on fire behind your face. Heat followed a heartbeat later. Then a sharp, crackling sizzle, like live wires snapping apart. Red sparks fractured the darkness. A violent bzzz rattled the windows.
Silence.
You curled into yourself on instinct, knees pulled to your chest, forehead pressed hard down, fingers locked over the back of your head as if that alone could hold you together. Your whole body shook. Tears spilled without permission, soaking into your pajamas. Every breath came ragged, shallow.
You waited.
For claws. For teeth. For the end.
Nothing came.
Ten agonising seconds passed. Then thirty. Still nothing.
Slowly, you forced your fingers apart and blinked through the blur of tears. Satoru Gojo stood in the ruin of your bedroom like he had simply stepped in for tea. Hands in his pockets. Head tilted. That familiar grin—too easy, too bright for a room that looked like it had been torn open.
“You called?”
Your mind lagged as your gaze darted all over. Splintered door. Scorched air. The metallic tang of something burned out of existence still hanging faintly in the room.
The curse was gone.
You stayed half-folded against the bed, arms drawn tight around yourself.
Gojo looked… older, but familiar. His white hair still shone like silver. His smile was still there—still infuriatingly soft at the edges, like he hadn’t just erased something that had been seconds away from killing you. However, his uniform fit differently than you remembered. The fabric sat differently across him now, stretched over broader shoulders, shaped by muscle you didn’t remember being so defined.
The biggest in change his appereance was the blindfold. Gone were the round sunglasses he used to wear. In their place, a sleek strip of black cloth was wrapped around his eyes.
“Gojo?” you managed. His name cracked on your tongue—fragile in a way that made it feel dangerous to say too loudly, as if you were afraid he was just a part of your imagination.
He tilted his head slightly at the sound.
“That would be me,” he said lightly.
He stepped forward. Each step landed softly over the ruined floorboards, sound threading through the silence like a metronome trying to convince your heartbeat to slow down and follow it. He stopped just short of you, not wanting to crowd you.
His smile shifted, softening by a fraction.
“You know,” he started, voice slipping easily back into teasing, as if he were gently trying to stitch normality back into the air, “usually when someone calls me after maaany years, there’s a ‘hello’ first. Maybe a ‘how have you been.’ Basic courtesy.”
His head angled toward the wreckage behind you, then back to you again.
“…But I’ll let it slide,” he added, slower now. “I guess. If—”
He didn’t get to finish the sentence because you moved.
There was no elegance to in your movements. Just a sudden collapse of everything you had been holding in place since the moment the curse had entered your home.
You launched yourself at him, clumsy and uncontrolled.
For a heartbeat, he didn’t react at all. Then his hand braced against the floor behind you, steadying both of you as your momentum forced him back just slightly.
Your arms locked around him and you buried your face into his chest. It was colder than you expected at first, like stepping into winter air too quickly. Then warmth bled through, slow and steady, spreading outward in quiet waves that made your shaking worse before it made it better.
“I—” your voice fractured completely. “Thank you.”
You didn’t realise you were crying again until you felt your tears soaking into his jacket.
He didn’t answer right away. He just lifted his hand slowly, resting it lightly against the back of your head. The other settled around your shoulders—careful again, as if he was handling something fragile he wasn’t sure he was allowed to hold.
“Well,” he murmured at last, softer than before, almost reluctant to break the silence, “that’s one way to say hello.”
✧ ✧ ✧
It took you about an hour to really calm down.
An hour spent sitting on the floor in Gojo’s lap, your knees still weak, your body refusing to trust the fact that the world was no longer actively trying to kill you. Your fingers stayed twisted into the front of his uniform like a lifeline, knuckles pale.
At some point, your breathing evened out. The violent shaking faded. Tears dried stiff against your cheeks, leaving faint salt tracks you pretended not to feel.
Gojo didn’t rush you. He didn’t joke. Didn’t flirt. Didn’t fill the silence with anything that might crack it open too soon. One hand stayed steady against your back, warm and grounding, tracing slow, absent circles that anchored you more than any words could have.
Eventually, awareness returned in pieces rather than all at once. First came the embarrassment. Then the slow, creeping realization of proximity. Then the very human understanding that you were currently clinging to a man you hadn’t seen in years like your life depended on him, which, in a way, it had.
Slowly, carefully, you pulled back. Your hands lingered for half a second too long before releasing his jacket, reluctant in a way you immediately hated yourself for noticing. You avoided looking at his face as you stood.
You flicked on the light and immediately regretted it.
Your bedroom looked like a crime scene. The door was obliterated—splintered wood hanging like broken ribs. Clothes spilled from your closet in chaotic heaps. A lamp lay on its side, its shade cracked. Somehow, impossibly, the walls still stood, and the windows remained intact.
You stepped into the hallway half-expecting the rest of the apartment to mirror it But the living room was almost untouched. The kitchen, too, looked strangely ordinary.
Your front door was still locked.
The only thing that looked out of place was the living room window—cracked open just a finger’s width, letting in pale early-morning air that smelled faintly of rain and something clean enough to feel unreal after what had just happened.
Gojo followed quietly behind you as you began cleaning.
You moved on autopilot.
Smashed glass. Broken fragments. Shaky hands that refused to stop trembling no matter how carefully you tried to steady them. You told yourself it was practical. Necessary. Something to do with your body while your mind tried to stitch itself back together.
He tried to talk a few times.
You answered without really hearing yourself, your voice distant, like it belonged to someone else speaking through a wall.
When you retrieved the bandaged bundle from the bookshelf, his posture changed immediately.
“Is that what it was after?” he asked.
You nodded, unable to look at it for long now that you knew what it was supposed to be.
“I got it in a letter,” you said quickly, too quickly, like you needed to justify its presence in your life. “I didn’t—I didn’t know what it was. I just kept it.”
You handed it over.
Gojo went still.
You couldn’t see his eyes beneath the blindfold, but the shift in the air was unmistakable. His shoulders tightened. His tongue pressed briefly against the inside of his cheek, like he was holding back a reaction he didn’t want to show.
For a moment, it looked like he might speak. He didn’t. He simply took the bundle and slipped it into his pocket.
The words slipped out before you could stop them.
“Do you… want tea?” you asked. A pause. “Or coffee?”
It sounded absurd the moment the question left your mouth.Yet it was a fragile attempt to hold the moment in place. To delay whatever came after this. To keep him here a little longer because you didn't want to be alone.
Gojo looked at you for a beat longer than necessary, then exhaled something almost like amusement.
“Tea sounds good.”
He watched you the entire time you worked in the kitchen, openly entertained now, like the concept of you boiling water had become unexpectedly fascinating.
Your apartment made him look bigger than you remembered him being—too tall for the space, shoulders nearly brushing doorframes as he moved through it. He ducked slightly out of habit when passing through narrow spaces, following you from room to room, not letting you out of his sight completely.
“—you’re a teacher?” you asked when he told you so, glancing at him over your shoulder with open skepticism.
He grinned instantly. “Don’t I look like one?”
“No,” you said without hesitation. “You look like someone who should not be trusted around children.”
He laughed—bright, unrestrained, too loud for the quiet that had settled back into your apartment—and despite everything, something in your chest loosened enough that you found yourself exhaling a reluctant laugh too.
When the tea was ready, you both settled in the living room on the couch. The cups warmed your hands. Dawn spilled slowly through the window, soft and bruised with early light.
Gojo talked. About Jujutsu High. About curses. About sorcerers.
He explained just enough that your exhausted mind could follow without breaking apart completely, though the words still felt like they belonged to a different world entirely. Curses. Cursed energy. Sorcerers. The fact that he was apparently the strongest of them al, which he repeated with confidence at least five times.
He mentioned Megumi more than once too, and something in his voice softened each time, pride threading through it in a way you didn’t remember hearing before. When you asked about Tsumiki, though, his answer thinned. He redirected the conversation gently but firmly, like closing a door without making it obvious it had been shut.
You didn’t push. You kept listening instead, hovering somewhere between shock and relief, as if your mind hadn’t decided yet whether to accept any of this as real.
Eventually, he asked about you and suddenly, your life felt small.
“I just… bounced around after graduating,” you said at last, eyes fixed on your tea. “Different jobs. Nothing really stuck.”
“I always figured you’d do something interesting,” he hummed.
You let out a quiet snort. “I work in an office.”
“Tragic,” he said gravely. “We’re going to have to rescue you from that immediately.”
You rolled your eyes, but warmth still crept into your chest anyway. Talking to him was easy in a way that unsettled you more than it should have. You had expected awkward silences, forced politeness, something brittle and unfamiliar. Instead, it felt like slipping back into a conversation that had never properly ended.
Sunlight spread further into the apartment, turning dust motes into drifting gold. Gojo stood and stretched, rolling his shoulders with an ease that made the movement look almost lazy. His gaze swept the room again, lingering briefly on the slightly open window before he exhaled and turned back to you.
You stood as well.
“You shouldn’t stay here alone tonight,” he said, still half-distracted by the space around him.
“Have to,” you replied dryly. “Not like I can afford to stay anywhere else.”
You didn’t add the rest. That the thought of being alone again made something tight coil in your chest. That silence, after everything that had happened, suddenly felt too large to exist in. Or that you were now painfully aware of how small your apartment really was and how vulnerable you were inside it.
Gojo turned his head slightly at your answer. Then, as if the thought had simply arrived fully formed and unbothered by consequences, he said, “Come with me, then.”
You remained quiet.
“There are empty rooms at the school,” he continued. “You can stay until I sort this out. Until it’s safe.”
You hesitated, your bottom lip caught between your teeth, because logically, it was absurd. Going with him—someone you had barely known properly, someone who had just torn a curse apart in your bedroom like it was nothing—to a place you had never even heard of before today should have set off every alarm in your body.
It should have felt like a mistake and yet it didn’t. Because the alternative was staying here alone, listening to your own heartbeat echo through empty rooms, waiting for something you couldn’t see but now knew existed.
You looked at him, at the ease in his posture, the absolute certainty that you would say yes.
“…Okay,” you said at last.
His smile widened immediately.
“Excellent decision,” he said brightly, clapping his hands once as if sealing the agreement. “Don’t worry. I promise only minimal life-threatening incidents.”
“That is not reassuring,” you muttered, though your mouth twitched despite yourself.
After changing into warmer clothes, you packed an overnight bag. Just essentials. A change of clothes. Toothbrush. Phone charger. The normal things people bring when they are absolutely, definitely not uprooting their lives.
As you locked your apartment door, Gojo lingering by your side. You kept reminding yourself that this was temorary, that you will stay at school only until things settle. Until it's safe to return.
✧ ✧ ✧
What was supposed to be a few days away from home somehow turned into nearly four weeks of living in the Jujutsu High dorms.
The first night had felt temporary. You kept your shoes by the door, your bag zipped, your mind insisting you would leave any moment. The second night had felt the same, as had the third. But by the end of the first week, your bag sat half-unpacked in the corner like it had always belonged there, clothes slowly migrating into drawers without you ever quite remembering deciding to stay.
Every morning, you woke tangled in sheets, sunlight filtering through the curtains, warm against your face. The air carried a faint mix of pine, old wood, and distant incense drifting in from somewhere deeper in the campus. And every morning, the same thought returned like a habit you couldn’t break: you should go home. You told yourself that while brushing your teeth. While tying your shoes. While standing too long in front of the courtyard windows.
There was always that lingering sense that you were occupying borrowed space—you weren’t a sorcerer, not a student, not anything that belonged in a place like this. And yet that thought dulled with time. The campus was quieter than you had expected, almost eerily so. You rarely saw more than a handful of students or teachers, and most days it felt less like a school and more like a half-forgotten shrine.
During the day, you wandered the grounds with a book tucked under your arm. Gravel crunched softly beneath your shoes. Leaves whispered overhead, shifting in slowly in the wind. Students passed occasionally, bowing politely or watching you with open curiosity. You sat beneath shaded trees, reading without really reading. No emails, no deadlines, no fluorescent office lights humming overhead.
You had taken unpaid leave after the attack, telling your boss you had a family emergency. Technically, that wasn’t a lie. But bills still existed. Your job still existed. Your apartment still existed, somewhere out there in a life you were increasingly detached from. You were supposed to go back. Yet every time you brought it up, Gojo already had a reason why you couldn't leave just yet.
At first, it wasn’t safe. The curse might not have acted alone. Someone might come looking for you.
Then your apartment was declared a disaster zone. Returning wasn’t possible until repairs were finished. You had no idea how you were supposed to afford any of it, but Gojo had waved the concern away with an easy, careless, “The school has funds for situations like this.”
Then he insisted you couldn’t leave until he identified whoever had sent you Sukuna’s finger—conveniently neglecting to mention he was the sender.
Eventually, the excuses began to wear thin.
You stood in the dorm room that had stopped feeling temporary and leaned against the desk, arms crossed.
“I have to go back,” you told him. “I can’t miss any more work. My boss is blowing up my phone. And you said my apartment’s fixed, so—”
Gojo sighed dramatically, just like he did everytime you decided to talk about this.
“Fiiiiine,” he groaned, flopping backward onto your bed. The mattress dipped under his weight as he sprawled out shamelessly, long limbs claiming far too much space.
“You learn how to fight,” he announced, pointing lazily at you from where he lay upside down across your pillows. “Properly. With the dagger I gave you. Then you can go.”
“I’m not a sorcerer,” you argued immediately. “I don’t need combat training. I’ve successfully avoided curses my entire life—until one broke into my bedroom because someone thought mailing me a cursed finger was a fun social experiment.”
Since arriving, you had been given a crash course in a world you had never asked to understand. Curses were manifestations of negative emotion. Sorcerers fought them. Jujutsu High trained them, and Satoru Gojo—apparently—was the strongest sorcerer alive, a fact he had repeated with alarming enthusiasm whenever the opportunity arose.
He had also, far too casually, suggested more than once that you might have potential to become a sorcerer since you could see the curses, but you refused to even entertain the thought.
“What if one attacks you again?” he asked more quietly when you still refused.
The humor in his voice thinned at the edges.
“I know I put myself on your speed dial,” he continued, scratching the back of his neck, a grin returning as if he could physically shrug off the seriousness of the question, “but I’m a very busy, responsible adult. I can’t always arrive dramatically to save you.”
Your gaze flicked away. The memory of claws and pressure and breathless panic lingered like a bruise under the skin.
“…Fine,” you said at last. “One week. You teach me whatever you think I need to know, and then I’m moving out.”
“Four weeks,” he replied instantly.
“Three.”
He tilted his head, pretending to consider it.
“Hm. I suppose I could turn you into a semi-competent fighter in three weeks,” he said. “After all, I am Gojo Satoru. The strongest. The most handsome. The most talented teacher to ever exist—”
You grabbed a pen from the desk and threw it at him.
He caught it midair without looking.
Show-off.
“You mean the most annoying person I’ve ever met,” you corrected, though your mouth betrayed you with a faint curve.
Gojo sat up slowly, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, blindfold angled toward you as if he could see you anyway.
“Oh?” he said, voice dipping just slightly. “And yet you agreed to spend three more weeks with me.”
Your lips parted, but you didn't reply because he was right.

CHAPTER TWO.
“Care to explain what the fuck you were thinking?”
Never in your life had you wondered how high you could count before giving up. Yet by Friday morning, you'd discovered the answer—muttering every number aloud, perfectly enunciated, all the way to six hundred and eighty-nine.
You hadn't slept. Not really. There might have been an hour somewhere in the middle of the night when exhaustion finally dragged you under—a thin, fragile sort of sleep that shattered the moment you became aware of it. You woke soon after, restless and even more irritated, thrashing in bed and twisting from one side to the other. The sheets tangled around your legs until you had to kick free.
Every position felt wrong. The pillow was too soft. The air in the room too stale—too thick. Suffocating. Pressing on you like a heavy weight.
This wasn’t unusual—the restlessness. Neither were the nerves that piled up until all you wanted to do was slam your head into a wall hard enough to knock yourself unconscious. At least then your mind would finally shut the fuck up. Even if only for a little while.
Before difficult missions, sleep often came reluctantly. Your mind liked to rehearse—strategies, escape routes, every possible thing that could go wrong. You'd lie awake running through scenario after scenario until you were satisfied you could handle them all, until you'd convinced yourself there would be no surprises because you'd already imagined every possible outcome.
But for fuck's sake—tomorrow's mission wasn't difficult. Low-level curses. Grade Four. Nothing you couldn't handle. Nothing you hadn't faced before. So why did the thought of getting out of bed make your stomach twist?
It took the entire night to admit it.
It wasn't the mission.
It was them.
The realization tasted bitter.
You rolled it around in your mind, annoyance flaring as you finally acknowledged it. You even caught yourself wondering why you couldn't have been partnered with just Geto—assuming going alone wasn't an option. Even that would've been preferable to being forced to spend time around Gojo.
You were still tense around Geto, always careful to keep your distance, but he was... manageable. Controlled. Predictable in a way that made him easier to deal with, even if you couldn't quite read him. Easier to be around than Gojo, at least, who you knew would be unbearable today; especially considering you hadn't seen him for an entire day, which meant he'd had nearly twenty-four uninterrupted hours to come up with new ways to get under your skin.
Hours later, you finally gave up on pretending to sleep and dragged yourself out of bed.
With far too much time before departure, you moved slowly, trying to ignore the relentless ticking of the clock on the wall. You didn't rush. You took your time getting ready. Still, there were only so many times you could adjust your uniform, brush nonexistent dust from your shoulders, or straighten a collar that was already perfectly straight.
Eventually, with nothing left to stall over, you flopped back onto the bed fully dressed, staring at the ceiling—ready for the day to be over before it had even begun.
For a moment, your phone found its way into your hand, your thumb hovering over Utahime's contact. Back in Kyoto, she was the closest thing you had to a real friend. And she was probably the only person capable of talking you down when your thoughts started spiraling like this.
Whenever stress got the better of you—whether it was a legitimate problem or something completely ridiculous—Utahime always seemed to know exactly what to say. Somehow, she could untangle the knots in your head without making you feel stupid for having them in the first place.
Your thumb hovered over the call button.
Just do it.
A small part of you was already imagining her sleepy voice answering the phone.
Another part immediately reminded you what time it was.
Too early.
You shouldn't wake her up.
With a groan, you locked the screen and tossed the phone onto the mattress beside you. It bounced once before disappearing into the blankets.
✧ ✧ ✧
You didn't skip breakfast. Running on fumes and vending machine snacks wasn't an option today. Thankfully, the cafeteria was deserted when you wandered through the doors.
You claimed a table near the back and ate in silence, scrolling aimlessly through your phone, forcing yourself to focus on anything other than the thoughts that hadn't stopped spiraling since yesterday.
A painfully boring video played on repeat, but you were too tired—and too lazy—to bother finding something better.
The cafeteria doors swung open. You didn't hear them. Didn't notice the footsteps or the low, muffled whispers that followed. Not until two trays slammed down onto your table.
You jumped, your phone slipping from your hand and clattering against the surface.
“Fuck,” you hissed under your breath. Your heart slammed against your ribs as your head snapped up. “What is wrong with you?!”
Geto was already seated across from you, posture relaxed, expression as unreadable as ever. Gojo—predictably—dropped into the seat beside you, far too close for comfort. You immediately scooted away, dragging your tray with you.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Gojo clicked his tongue, wagging a finger before pointing it at you. “Someone's got their head in the clouds. That's how you get mauled by big, bad, ugly curses.”
You shot him a glare.
“But don't worry, little omega,” he continued, completely unbothered and clearly enjoying the way you tried—and failed—to hide your irritation. “You've got us to keep you safe. Won't even need to do anything. Just stick close and look pretty. Mission's gonna be easy peasy, yeah?”
“Don't call me that,” you snapped, hating the nickname and refusing to let it stick.
The moment the words left your mouth, you regretted them. It would've been smarter to ignore him. To let it pass. Because even through those ridiculous round glasses—the ones you'd never seen him without—you felt his attention sharpen instantly at the open disgust in your voice. Something darkened behind the lenses. A slow, knowing smile tugged at his mouth, and you just knew he'd spend the rest of the day looking for excuses to call you that again.
You decided you didn’t need to endure this. You still had an hour before departure. An hour you could spend literally anywhere else. You stood abruptly, snatching up your phone and shoving it into your pocket.
“Satoru,” Geto said mildly. His eyes followed you with far too much interest before shifting back to Gojo. A sigh escaped him. “Look what you did. I told you to play nice.”
Something about the comment rubbed you the wrong way. It wasn't just teasing—though it was definitely that, too. It felt deliberate. Like Geto's words carried a second meaning. Like he was testing something. Prodding. Waiting to see how Gojo would react.
And react he did.
“Aww, princess, cooome ooon.” Gojo pouted dramatically. His arm shot out, fingers closing loosely around your wrist—enough to stop you. “Don't leave.”
You froze.
Your gaze dropped to his hand. His fingers were wrapped around your wrist—but they weren't touching you. An invisible layer, roughly three centimeters thick, separated his grip from your skin.
Across the table, Geto leaned forward, unmistakably satisfied, like a theory had just been confirmed.
When neither of you spoke, Gojo followed your stare. He blinked. Realization dawned as he registered what he was holding—and the fact that he couldn't feel the warmth of your skin.
The silence that followed felt deafening. You swore you could hear a high-pitched ringing in your ears. Pressure built behind your eyes. Something heavy like a stone settled in your chest.
You knew you should say something. Or pull away. Instead, you stayed perfectly still. Your mind screamed at you to move, but your body refused to listen, locked in place by the insticts despite every frantic command you hurled at yourself to react. To do something. Anything.
Gojo squeezed tighter, testing his grip on your wrist.
The barrier didn't budge. It took everything you had to keep it that way. Your cursed energy buzzed violently beneath your skin, flaring in sharp response each time his fingers pressed against it.
Then he grew bolder.
His arms slid around your waist, wrapping around the barrier instead of you. Pulling you closer, he settled his hands at your hips. Even seated, his head was level with your chest, his presence crowding your space until it felt impossible to breathe.
“This is why it's so hard to sense your cursed energy,” Gojo muttered, more to himself than to you or Geto. His fingers pressed curiously against the invisible layer, as though it were the most interesting thing he'd encountered all week. “...Or you.”
That snapped you out of it.
Your muscles finally unlocked. You stepped back immediately. Heat rushed up your neck. Your cheeks burned as your mind caught up with what had just happened.
“Is this your innate technique?” Geto asked.
When you looked at him, he wore the expression of someone who already knew the answer.
“Yeah,” you said. Your voice came out quieter than intended, lacking its usual bite. “Something like that.”
“Then why do you never take it down?” Gojo asked.
Across the table, Geto raised an eyebrow.
“Oh.” Gojo paused. Then the pieces clicked into place. “Right.”
The moment the gears visibly began turning in his head—the sharp smile curling across his lips, anything but friendly—your stomach sank.
[ Gojo's POV ]
Gojo Satoru—the Six Eyes, the strongest, someone who firmly believed he was the smartest person in any room and perceptive to an almost irritating degree—had somehow managed to completely overlook that—your barrier.
For the first time in a long while, he was quiet. Genuinely quiet. No commentary. No teasing. No half-baked jokes designed solely to get a reaction out of you. Nothing but the occasional tight-lipped mhm slipping past him whenever Suguru attempted to start a conversation.
He ate without really looking at his food, chewing out of habit rather than hunger, all while resisting the increasingly persistent urge to reach across the table and touch you again when you sat back down.
His mind replayed the past week on an endless loop. From early Monday morning, when he'd dragged Suguru out of bed at an ungodly hour because he had to see the new transfer student who might—or might not—be an omega, to now. To today. To the moment he'd been forced to confront something he absolutely should have noticed sooner.
It was almost embarrassing.
Almost.
Satoru could blame himself for the oversight. And maybe—maybe—he did, just a little. But most of the blame landed squarely on Suguru, who had obviously known. The bastard had clearly pieced things together long before today and decided not to share. Worse, he'd deliberately set up that little experiment and used Satoru to confirm his theory.
Logically, Satoru understood why you kept your barrier up. He wasn't stupid. That understanding, however, did absolutely nothing to stop it from irritating him.
The fact that he couldn't touch you was one thing. He'd already been keeping his distance. More or less. Sure, he constantly hovered around you. Constantly poked and prodded with comments designed to get under your skin. Constantly tested boundaries just to see where they were. But despite appearances, he wasn't completely clueless. There were lines that genuinely shouldn't be crossed and he knew that.
But hiding your scent?
That was something else entirely.
Yes, it was selfish to think he had any claim to it. Any unspoken right to know. He was aware of that; he wasn't an idiot. Just painfully arrogant. And perhaps a little possessive in ways he had absolutely no intention of unpacking.
Still, it had been a long time since he’d had a real break. Time in the city. Time away from missions, away from Jujutsu High, away from the suffocating stench of alphas who seemed incapable of existing without flooding every room they entered with their scent.
And yet you'd deliberately hidden yourself. Kept everything sealed away behind that barrier. Refused to give him even the smallest glimpse. A minute would've been enough. Two, maybe. Just long enough for him to indulge to indulge. Long enough to remember what it felt like when his senses weren't constantly assaulted by something unpleasant.
He wouldn't have even touched you. Not if you didn't want him to. Just being close would've been enough.
Satoru swallowed hard. His mouth had suddenly gone dry.
When he'd first heard about a transfer from Kyoto, he hadn't paid much attention. He'd assumed it was a beta. Nothing particularly interesting about that. Then he'd overheard a conversation he wasn't supposed to hear. He hadn't learned much, just fragments. Half-whispered speculation. Loose pieces of information that should've meant nothing. But they'd been enough. Enough to know Tokyo was getting an omega.
After that, Satoru had practically vibrated with excitement. And somehow—miraculously—he'd managed to keep it to himself. He hadn't even told Suguru, which was unusual: Suguru was normally subjected to every stray thought that entered Satoru's head, every piece of gossip, every pointless observation, whether he wanted to hear it or not.
Satoru still wasn't entirely sure why he'd stayed quiet. It hadn't mattered in the end. Suguru had figured it out on his own. He'd probably overheard the same rumors. The same conversations he wasn't supposed to hear.
And he'd been the one to say it out loud first, casual and knowing, like the possibility of omega wandering trough these halls hadn't been driving him insane, too.
Satoru had pretended to be surprised when Suguru shared the news. Though, Suguru hadn't looked convinced. But just as Suguru hadn't called him out for lying, Satoru had kept his mouth shut as well.
✧ ✧ ✧
The three of you stood outside, waiting for the car.
Satoru leaned back against the wall, arms crossed, noticeably lacking his usual energy. He watched you and Suguru smoke—watched you cough, then laugh when the first drag hit harder than expected. Watched the subtle rhythm of your conversation.
Suguru asked questions. You answered. Your answers precise, measured, revealing just enough without giving too much away. You were good at that. At talking while keeping everything at surface level.
You were talking about your barrier.
Suguru steered the conversation deliberately to the topic, nudging here and there, clearly probing.
You explained only the basics—how it functioned, how it interacted with your cursed energy. Something about metabolism, about how food intake affected how long you could maintain it. That was why you were constantly snacking because otherwise you’d need to drop it.
That—that was what caught Satoru’s attention. And that was when he decided he was going to be mean today. Just a little.
If Suguru had chosen today—of all days—to use him as a tool, to poke and test a theory, then Satoru decided he had every right to run an experiment of his own.
How far he could push you before that barrier showed even the smallest crack?
In Satoru’s mind, it wasn’t reckless. Today’s mission wasn’t difficult. Quite the opposite. Low-level curses, predictable patterns, confined space—the perfect environment. Even if you got overwhelmed, even if things went sideways, he and Suguru would be there.
Plus, he’d already promised you that the two of them would take care of you, hadn’t he? So you definitely had nothing to worry about.
And it wasn’t like he wanted to hurt you. Of course not.
He would just apply a little more pressure than necessary. Enough to make you slip. Enough to find out what you smelled like beneath all that cursed energy and restraint. Because now that he knew you were hiding your scent, the not-knowing gnawed at him, and it would keep gnawing until he satisfied that curiosity. So it was better to get it over with quickly—today, while he had the opportunity; he wasn’t sure when the next mission with you would come up.
He lingered in the thought briefly, weighing the easier option.
He could just ask. Suggest you drop your innate technique for the ride. Frame it as concern—tell you it would help preserve your cursed energy for the fight, make things safer. It wouldn’t even be a lie. It would be safer. At least ten times safer than slowly bleeding your stamina dry while curses chipped away at you.
But then… where was the fun in that?
Satoru’s mouth twitched, a faint smile threatening to surface as he pushed off the wall, spotting the car approaching.
No.
If he was going to do this, he wanted it instinctive—for you to be stripped bare by circumstance rather than persuasion. Something you didn’t have time to think over or prepare for. And if that meant being a little cruel? Well… he was fine with that.
✧ ✧ ✧
[ Reader's POV ]
The car ride was strange, to say the least.
You sat in the front passenger seat while Geto and Gojo were squeezed into the back. No one spoke. Geto stared out the window, fingers tapping lightly against his knee. Gojo, every so often, watched you through the rearview mirror—always with that same lazy smirk that widened the moment your eyes met.
So far, the day was nothing like you had expected. The energy was calm, the alphas unusually quiet. If you pretended for a moment that the whole incident—when they had finally confronted you about the barrier—hadn’t happened, you could almost convince yourself that maybe you’d been freaking out for nothing. Maybe you really shouldn’t have lost sleep over it.
Even after you arrived at the school—after the curtain was lowered and you suggested splitting up, one floor each—there was no pushback. No teasing from Gojo. No objections from Geto.
It was definitely weird. You weren’t used to this, but you figured that maybe Gojo and Geto were simply more focused on the mission, knowing when it was time to prioritize work rather than pester you.
The building was crawling with curses. You saw them before you even stepped inside—clinging to ceilings, slumped against walls like rotten growths. For the first time since Thursday, you were almost glad you weren’t alone. Not because you couldn’t handle it, but because you didn’t have to. With all three of you, this should be over in hours. Alone, it would’ve taken you the entire day to exorcise all of the curses.
You got the second floor entirely to yourself, Gojo claiming the third and leaving Geto to deal with the mess on the first and in the basement.
At first, it was easy. Most of the curses were sluggish, malformed things that barely reacted to your presence. Even when you drew their attention, they came at you in small numbers.
You preferred distance. Control. Not having to deal with surprises—attacks you didn’t see coming. So you relied on your cursed tools: silver throwing daggers, engraved with abstract patterns and imbued with cursed energy, dangling from the leather belt snug around your waist.
You worked cleanly.
You stood in the middle of the hallway near the stairs, repeating the same process: barriers snapping up around the curses, immobilising them, five daggers following in quick succession. Clean hits. You retrieved your tools, repositioned yourself, and started over.
Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat.
And when you dared to think it was a little dull. Boring. Too easy—it all went downhill.
Suddenly, you had to move faster. Barely enough time to retrieve your daggers before they were flying from your hands again. Distance became meaningless. Maintaining your barrier meant you couldn’t immobilize more than a handful at once, and the curses were swarming now.
You switched tactics, ignoring the way sweat made your clothing stick, the thickening air, the pressure building under your barrier that held it all in.
Two daggers clenched tightly in your hands, you charged. Slashing. Stabbing. Pulling free. Kicking curses away. Cutting their grabby limbs. Dodging, spinning, turning so fast your vision began to swim.
You couldn’t be touched—not really—but you could be crowded. You tried not to think about that. Tried not to acknowledge what it would mean: pulling back, leaving the rest to Gojo and Geto, just like you’d promised Yaga.
For fuck’s sake, you were a Grade Two sorcerer. What good were you if you couldn’t handle low-level curses like these, no matter how many there were? The question kept swirling in your mind, surfacing again and again, no matter how hard you tried to drown it out in the chaos of everything else.
What stung the most, however, what fueled your stubbornness to stay on that damn second floor, was the fact that you knew you could do it. You were good enough. You’d fought worse.
But your barrier was draining you faster than you wanted to admit. Too much cursed energy spent just to keep it intact. It slowed you down, tripped you up, stole your edge and power because it had to be divided between barrier and fighting.
When you were finally pushed into a corner, surrounded on all sides, you knew. You were done. No matter how badly it bruised your pride, this was it. Time to retreat. Except—it was already too late. There was no opening. No space to escape. Trying to squeeze through would only make it worse—trap you even more—if you slipped on the slick gore and fell to the ground.
Your pulse spiked—not with adrenaline, but with pure panic. Daggers flashed in your hands as you slashed blindly. Legs kicked. Elbows struck. You fought to breathe, to focus, to remember how to inhale. You tried to ignore the fear-fueled thought that you’d gotten in over your head—that after everything, you might be taken down by low-grade curses you could usually exorcise with your eyes closed.
You should have called for Gojo and Geto. Opened your mouth and screamed for help. But your jaw was locked tight, your mind empty—unable to grasp that help was even an option. The only thought that existed was your barrier. Dropping it. Reclaiming that cursed energy. Using it to fight.
There was a shift in the air. Instantaneous. Almost imperceptible.
One moment, your senses were dulled. The next, they sharpened violently. The stench of rot hit first—thick enough to turn your stomach. Instinct took over before thought.
Your mind went blank.
You moved faster than you could see, faster than you could think. By the time your mind tried to catch up, you were already in motion.
Daggers flew. Curses fell. The darkness that had enveloped you began to recede as the horde of curses circling you—from left to right, from the ceiling—slowly dwindled. Light crept back into the hallway.
When you blinked again, you were on the floor, on all fours, heaving.
You gulped the foul air, gagging because your barrier was gone. Without it, the filth clung to you. Your clothes were smeared, sticky. You lifted an arm to brush your hair back and nearly retched at the smell.
Something clamped around your arms, hauling you to your feet. Your knees buckled, hands shaking, but you reacted without hesitation. You turned sharply, driving the dagger you hadn’t even realized you were holding forward, certain it was a curse you’d missed.
It didn’t connect.
Gojo towered over you. He caught your wrist easily, twisting it just enough to force you to release the weapon. His grip was firm and unyielding, fingers digging into your arm as he held you in place. With his other hand, he pushed his glasses up onto his head.
His pupils were blown wide, eyes nearly black—only the thinnest ring of blue visible around the edges.
“Let me go,” you said, trying to wrench your arms free, your body still buzzing with adrenaline, not ready to be trapped again.
He let you go—but before you could take a step back, his hands clamped down on your shoulders, anchoring you in place so you couldnt move away. You instinctively tried to raise your barrier. It flared weakly, flickered—and collapsed. You had nothing left. Your cursed energy had been drained dry in the fight.
“I’m serious, Gojo.” Your voice wavered despite you trying to steady it. “GET. OFF.”
Gojo's lips pressed into a thin line. He didn’t answer. Instead, his gaze dragged slowly over your face, lingering too long, scrutinising every detail—the way your eyebrows pinched in confusion, the way you groaned, scrunching your nose. One hand slid from your shoulder to the back of your head, fingers threading into your hair as he forced you closer. Before you could react, his face dipped, pressing into your neck—bare skin, right beneath your collarbone. His fingers tightened, holding you there.
The moment the tip of his nose brushed that sensitive patch of skin, shivers ran down your spine, your thighs squeezed together, and the panic that had simmered down before exploded through you again.
You thrashed against him, scratching at his arms, shoving at his chest, trying desperately to break free, but he didn’t budge an inch.
“Stop,” Gojo growled into your skin.
Your body stilled instantly, betraying you even as your mind screamed at you to fight, to get away—especially when his lips replaced the tip of his nose, hot and wet, pressing into your neck. His tongue swiped over your salty skin, stealing the air from your lungs.
“You smell so good,” he murmured, the words vibrating against you, muffled, but clear enough to make your stomach flip, your heart race.
This was too much. You needed to do something, but when your hands pressed against his broad chest, trying to push him away, he immediately caught on.
A low, dangerous growl rumbled from his chest as his teeth scraped along the hollow of your collarbone, up the side of your throat, retraced slowly by his tongue.
You needed tol get away from him. You couldn't let this contniue, what if he—
“Satoru, you need to step back,” Geto’s voice cut in—low, controlled—and relief flooded you so fast it nearly made you dizzy.
If anyone could control Gojo, make him snap out of whatever daze he was in, it definitely was his best friend, right?
“Can’t,” Gojo replied, not moving, pressing into you even closer, like he was expecting Geto to tried to peel him off of you and he refused to let that happen.
You heard Geto approach before you felt him. His footsteps were nearly silent. Then his chest pressed into your back, close enough that you were caged between them. Heat rose through your body as if standing between them was standing in blazing fire licking at your skin.
“Satoru,” Geto said, a hand coming down on your shoulder. “Move.”
There was an edge to his voice—sharp, threatening. When he tried to pull you away, Gojo’s head snapped up.
Gojo growled, teeth bared, lip curled. Pupils still blown wide. Both of his arms slid down to encircle your waist, yanking you back with possessive force.
You felt Geto stiffen behind you. Heard his teeth grind. His chest vibrated with a growl just as dangerous. You couldn’t see his face, but you felt his hot breath fan over the top of your head as he steadied you. His hand refusing to leave your shoulder.
“Actually,” Gojo said, tightening his grip around you, “I think you need to move your hand away from her, Suguru.”
Geto’s fingers only dug deeper into your skin, as if he feared Satoru would throw you over his shoulder and bolt.
This will not end well. You knew you needed to do something, but you were too afraid to move, to speak, even to breathe. It didn’t help that your instincts were fighting you, urging you to stay exactly where you were: between two alphas whose attention had locked onto you. The brief thought that slipped through your mind—that you might kind of enjoy it, the heat simmering in your abdomen—made you immediately grimace at yourself.
Desperate, you gathered the scraps of your cursed energy. Something. Anything.
It took all your focus, but your barrier flickered once. Twice. Then it pushed outward. The invisible layer forced Geto’s hand off your shoulder, peeled Gojo’s arms from your waist. The pressure eased just enough for you to break free. Yet you didn’t move.
The tension lingered. Thick. Suffocating. The feeling that they might rip into each other’s throats didn’t fade. Neither did the instinctive certainty that if you tried to run, their attention would turn on you instead—that their teeth might sink into you the moment you moved.
You didn’t budge until Gojo inhaled sharply, scrunching his nose at the stench of curses that now replaced your dulled scent beneath the barrier, his pupils contracting as he swept his gaze down the hallway.
Before fleeing, you caught one last glimpse of Geto—his eyes following you, wearing the same expression Gojo had when he first caught you. Hands in fists at his sides, fingers tightening as if he were about to block your path.
You didn’t stop.
You didn’t look back.
You bolted down the stairs, nearly tripping over your own feet, bursting outside, running across the courtyard, and didn’t slow down until you reached the playground. There, your legs finally gave out.
You collapsed to the ground, your body submitting to gravity as your barrier flickered one last time and went out completely.
[ Geto's POV ]
When Suguru and Satoru stepped outside, Suguru half-expected he’d have to physically restrain him. He was already braced for it—muscles coiled, cursed energy simmering just beneath his skin, ready to snap into place the second Satoru took a step toward you.
But Satoru didn’t move. He stood there, hands in his pockets, posture loose in a way that felt wrong on him—too still, too contained. His gaze flicked toward you once, then away, jaw set as though he’d locked something dangerous behind his teeth.
Suguru didn’t relax.
They watched you from across the courtyard.
You sat on one of the swings, elbows braced against your knees, head buried in your hands. The chains creaked faintly as you shifted your weight, the sound sharp in the quiet.
For a moment, Suguru thought you were crying. But you didn’t move. Didn’t shake. Didn’t make a sound. Too still, folded in on yourself like you were trying to disappear.
The sight twisted something ugly in his gut.
Instinct screamed at him to go to you—to close the distance, to put himself between you and everything else, even if that “everything else” was Satoru.
He forced the urge down.
Then you shifted. Just slightly. Your fingers curled into your sleeves. Your shoulders rose with a slow, shaky breath. When you finally lifted your head, there were no tears, but your gaze was dull and detached.
Suguru exhaled, realizing only then that he’d been holding his breath.
His emotions were a mess. His thoughts even harder to sort out.
On one hand, he was furious with Satoru.
There was no excusing what had happened. No clever reframing, no twisted logic that made it acceptable. Suguru understood the instinct—hell, he felt it himself, that pull toward you—but understanding didn’t make it forgivable. Especially when Satoru had ignored every warning sign, and Suguru knew damn well the Six Eyes weren’t that oblivious.
You had fought him. Pushed him away. Made your fear unmistakable. Your scent alone should have been enough to snap Satoru out of it. It had been saturated with panic, clawing its way into Suguru’s lungs, igniting something primal and violent he rarely allowed himself to feel.
For a split second, Suguru imagined tearing Satoru apart. Not metaphorically—hands around his throat, cursed spirits tearing into pale flesh, bones giving way under pressure. Yet, unlike Satoru, he forced his instincts to settle.
But then there was the other part. The part that made his anger feel dangerous rather than righteous.
Back in the hallway—beneath the panic, beneath the rot and decay of curses—there had been something else. Your scent. Sweet. Warm. Vanilla-soft, with a hint of fruit, rich enough to linger long after you’d fled.
Even now, outside in the harsh wind, with distance finally between you and them, it clung stubbornly to Satoru’s clothes, to his skin.
The realization made Suguru’s mouth go dry. His throat bobbed as he swallowed, teeth grinding so hard it might as well have shattered.
And the worst part—the part he hated most, the part he was truly angry with his friend for—was that Satoru had gotten there first, had gotten to you first. Close enough to touch you without that barrier Suguru had noticed the moment you arrived; the barrier Satoru hadn’t even realized was there until today.
When the car finally arrived, the crunch of tires over gravel pulled his attention back. Suguru watched your eyes flick between the vehicle and them, your shoulders tightening. It was obvious you didn’t want to get in the car with either of them.
“You stay here,” Suguru said.
Before Satoru could protest, he was already moving toward you.
He approached slowly, like you were an injured animal he was afraid might bolt at the slightest wrong step. He stopped well short of your space, careful not to crowd you.
“You take the car,” he said quietly. Gentle, controlled. “I’ll call for another one.”
You hugged your arms around yourself, gaze dropping to the ground. Your teeth worried at your bottom lip, hesitation written into every line of your posture—like you were trying to decide whether this was another trick, another trap meant to corner you again.
Suguru didn’t push. He just waited, didn’t rush you. Eventually, after a long pause, you gave a small, uncertain nod.
Relief washed over him, tempered by something bitter and heavy. He stayed where he was as you took a wide path around him—and an even wider one around Satoru—never lifting your eyes as you climbed into the car. Only when it disappeared from view did he pull out his phone and send a short text. No explanation, just a demand for someone to come pick them up—he wanted to get back to the campus fast.
Then he turned back to Satoru. His footsteps hit the ground harder than necessary as he stalked toward him, heels digging in with every step.
“Care to explain what the fuck you were thinking?”
Satoru only shrugged. It was infuriating how easily his smugness slid back into place—as if nothing had happened, as if he had nothing to answer for.
“Oh, don’t look at me like that,” Satoru said lightly, rolling his eyes as if this were all some obvious joke Suguru was just too slow to understand. “You’re acting all moral, Suguru. . . I didn’t know you could be such a gentleman when you wanted.” His smile sharpened. “But we both know the truth. You’re not actually angry.”
Suguru exhaled sharply.
“You’re just jealous you didn’t get to her before me.”
The muscle in Suguru’s jaw ticked. His fists clenched at his sides. Being friends with someone who could read you like a book had its advantages. This was not one of them.
“But hey,” Satoru continued, entirely unbothered, hooking two fingers into the collar of his jacket and tugging it up as if presenting evidence, “you know me. I’m not greedy. I know how to share.”
Suguru was on the verge of punching him.
“Go on. Take a whiff—” Satoru brought the fabric slowly to his nose. “—so sweet.”
Suguru didn’t move, didn’t even dare to breathe. He knew if he did, this would turn into something neither of them could walk back from.
Satoru seemed to sense the tension. His gaze flicked over Suguru’s expression. Then he shrugged, slipping out of the jacket and tossing it over.
Suguru caught it without thinking. His grip tightened instantly, knuckles whitening as he stared at Satoru. After a beat, he lifted the fabric to his face and inhaled deeply—once. Twice. On the third breath, he held it, refusing to exhale until his lungs burned, until the air inside him was replaced with your scent.
Satoru only grinned as he watched his friend accept the peace offering.
”You can keep it.”
✧ ✧ ✧
When they returned to campus, they barely had time to step out of the car before Yaga intercepted them.
He stood at the edge of the lot, arms folded across his chest, posture relaxed in a way Suguru had long learned not to trust. His eyes swept over them once.
“Anything to share?” Yaga asked as he approached.
His tone was flat, but there was weight behind it. A hook baited and waiting.
“Nope,” Satoru answered immediately, rocking back on his heels. “Mission cleared. Real boring stuff.”
Yaga’s gaze shifted—not to Suguru’s face, but to his hands, to the jacket he still refused to let go of.
“Then why,” Yaga asked, far too calmly, “did two separate cars bring you back?”
Suguru exhaled through his nose, tipping his head back with an exaggerated sigh. “Why ask,” he said, “when you already know the answer?” This was a bluff—a dangerous one, but he didn’t want to say anything that would land either of them in trouble.
“So it’s true, then?” Yaga pressed. “What she said?”
Satoru let out a soft laugh, clearly unable—or unwilling—to keep his mouth shut.
“Oh?” he said, eyebrows shooting up. “What did the little omega say?”
There was a long pause.
“That she exhausted herself,” Yaga replied slowly, eyes flicking between the two of them. He waited, expecting either of them to slip up or offer a different version of the story, because he knew there was more to it. But neither young alpha cracked under the pressure. “And asked Suguru to call another car because she couldn’t maintain her barrier. She didn’t think it was wise for you all to return together.”
Suguru hadn’t even considered the possibility that you might lie about what had happened, but in that moment, he didn’t have time to wonder why you might have.
“Yeah,” Satoru said lightly, a faint grin still on his face. “Poor thing—”
“But she did well,” Suguru cut in sharply. “Handled herself. Cleared her floor. Didn’t even need our help.”
A muffled sound escaped Satoru.
Suguru shot him a warning glare.
Yaga’s expression didn’t change, but something unreadable flickered in his eyes. He opened his mouth, clearly intending to ask more questions—
“Excuse us,” Suguru said abruptly.
His hand shot out, clamping onto Satoru’s collar with enough force to crease the fabric. Without hesitation, he yanked him backward and started dragging him out of sight.
Satoru choked on a laugh as he stumbled along, barely catching his footing as they rounded the corner and Yaga vanished was out of view.

CHAPTER ONE.
“Are you really an alpha,” you shot back, “or just annoying like that?”
Transferring from Kyoto to Tokyo in your third year was never something you had imagined for yourself—certainly not something you wanted to do.
As the train rattled forward, your gaze remained fixed on the rain-streaked window, though you barely registered the scenery rushing past. The world outside was a watercolor of gray skies and blurred silhouettes, washed together by the relentless drizzle. It was early morning, yet the clouds hung low and heavy, smothering the horizon.
You watched a pair of raindrops race down the glass.
At first they zigzagged separately, weaving around one another. One seemed to gain speed, slipping lower while the other lagged behind. Then a third joined them, spiraling into their path. The three droplets twisted and collided, trying to avoid one another before finally merging into a single stream that disappeared over the edge of the window.
You sighed and the moment your attention drifted from the glass, settling on your lap, thoughts you had been trying to ignore all morning returned; no matter how many times you shoved them aside, they crept back in like poisonous ivy, winding through every corner of your mind and sinking their roots deeper.
In hindsight, you should have noticed something was happening a month ago. The signs had been there: the hushed conversations that stopped when you approached, the strange looks, and the sudden increase in assignments, training exercises, and missions. At the time, you'd assumed your teachers were simply pushing you harder. Eventually, you realized it was a test—and you passed.
The transfer notice arrived without ceremony. Not as a discussion, not as a request—a statement.
You were being transferred to Tokyo Jujutsu High.
You had only recently begun to think of Kyoto as home. The idea of leaving behind everything familiar twisted uncomfortably inside your chest. Yet arguing would have accomplished nothing. Orders like this came from people whose authority dwarfed your own. So, you hadn't protested and just tried to accept it.
You weren't in a position to demand explanations.
You certainly weren't in a position to refuse.
Either way, you kept reminding yourself, there were only two years left; twenty-four months.
You repeated the number like a mantra.
You could survive twenty-four months.
Adjusting would be difficult at first. Everything would be unfamiliar—the campus, the city, the people. Eventually, though, routine would settle in. Missions would pile up. Assignments would demand your attention.
Time would pass.
You were already halfway through your education. You hadn't come this far just to quit now, and quitting would have been the only way to avoid the transfer. That wasn't an option.
You intended to graduate.
You intended to become a full-fledged jujutsu sorcerer.
This transfer was nothing more than another obstacle standing between you and that goal.
At least, that was what you kept telling yourself.
You had never actually visited Tokyo Jujutsu High before, but you knew enough about it. That was unavoidable when you attended its sister school.
Despite serving the same purpose, Kyoto and Tokyo operated very differently. While Kyoto primarily trained omegas, Tokyo was known for its alpha students. Betas could attend either institution and often acted as a bridge between the two groups, though most eventually enrolled in Kyoto.
The separation wasn't tradition. It wasn't some outdated custom preserved out of habit. It was control—a deliberate system designed to force young sorcerers to prioritize discipline over instinct.
Personally, you preferred it that way.
The thought of spending your formative years surrounded by alpha pheromones and oversized egos sounded like a special kind of torture. Young alphas, in particular, had a tendency to carry themselves as though the world naturally revolved around them.
Unlike civilians, jujutsu sorcerers couldn't rely on suppressants, scent blockers, or other pharmaceutical shortcuts. Anything that interfered with instincts also interfered with cursed energy output, and a sorcerer with capped energy was a liability.
If you hadn't possessed an innate technique, you might have fought the transfer harder.
Being an omega in an alpha-dominated environment sounded reckless on paper. Dangerous at worst. Especially when many students were still learning how to manage themselves.
But you did have an innate technique. That fact alone kept panic from consuming you entirely. Because it meant you weren't completely defenseless.
Your technique allowed you to create vacuum-like barriers—isolated spaces that severed outside influence and immobilized anything trapped within them.
On missions, you used it to restrain curses before exorcising them from a safe distance with a cursed tool.
Off the battlefield, however, it served a very different purpose. You could weave a thin barrier around your body. Almost invisible. A second skin made of cursed energy. It muted everything: your scent, your pheromones, and even the presence of your cursed energy.
Maintaining it for extended periods was exhausting. After receiving news of the transfer, however, you had thrown yourself into mastering it. The improvement had been significant. A month ago, you could barely sustain the barrier for a few hours before exhaustion forced it to collapse. Now, with enough concentration, you could maintain it for nearly an entire day. An achievement you should have been proud of. Instead, it only reminded you that soon you would need to maintain it constantly.
The thought made your shoulders sag.
Outside, another raindrop struck the window. Then another. Then another.
Tokyo drew closer with every passing mile, looming ahead like a storm waiting patiently on the horizon.
✧ ✧ ✧
The rest of the journey passed in a haze of half-sleep and drifting thoughts.
You dozed with your cheek pressed against the cool glass, waking intermittently as the train jolted over uneven tracks. Time blurred. Somewhere between stations, you ate the food you had packed—mechanically, without much taste—and drank from a can of something overly sweet and carbonated.
When you reached into your bag later and found a small bar of strawberry chocolate, you paused.
Utahime.
The realization softened something in your chest.
A folded note was tucked beneath the wrapper.
Call me when you get there <3
You stared at it for a moment longer than you meant to, then carefully slipped it into your pocket instead of throwing it away.
By the time the train finally pulled into Tokyo, your nerves felt frayed raw.
The station itself was overwhelming in a way you hadn't anticipated—not loud exactly, but dense. Too many people. Too many scents. Too much motion.
The drive from the station took longer than expected, and with every kilometer the knot in your chest tightened. You found yourself fidgeting without realizing it—picking at loose threads on your sleeve, tapping your fingers against your thigh, checking the time three separate times despite knowing only a few minutes had passed.
You told yourself you weren't nervous. That you had no reason to be. And yet your instincts disagreed.
Tokyo Jujutsu High appeared quietly, tucked away from the city in a way that made it feel almost unreal. Like it hadn't quite decided whether it belonged to the modern world or something older.
A staff member greeted you briefly. No ceremony. No fanfare. Just a nod and a direction. You followed.
The dormitory building was larger than Kyoto’s, though emptier in feeling. The halls stretched longer. The air smelled faintly of wood and cleaning oil.
You were shown to your floor. Only a few students lived there. A mix of betas and one other omega, you were told in passing.
Your new room itself was simple.
A bed with a nightstand. A desk and a chair whose wheels squeaked when you sat down. A wardrobe. Two sets of summer and winter uniforms.
After changing into dark blue, high-waisted slacks and a cropped jacket with a high collar, you decided it was time for a snack.
Maintaining your barrier already felt like holding something alive beneath your skin—constant, hungry, draining. The moment you stepped off the train, you'd reactivated it fully. Now it clung to you like a second pulse, steady but demanding.
You left your room.
The hallway was quiet. Almost suspiciously so. You passed the empty common area without incident, and soon you found yourself outside. The campus grounds here were far larger than Kyoto’s—wide paths branching between buildings, unfamiliar turns everywhere you looked.
You wandered longer than you intended.
Eventually, you found the vending machines.
Someone was already there.
You stopped. Not because they noticed you, but because your body reacted first. You were about to turn around and leave when your mind caught up and halted you.
A girl stood in front of the machine, studying the options with mild concentration. She was your height, maybe slightly shorter, with short brown hair that brushed her jaw. Her uniform was similar to yours, though instead of slacks she wore a skirt and tights.
You continued to linger several steps away when the sudden realization loosened something in your chest you hadn't realized was tight.
She was a beta.
You knew because there was no instinctive alarm. You didn't feel the urge to retreat. You felt awkward, but.. at ease.
She selected a drink and stepped aside. Only then did she notice you—or perhaps she simply acknowledged your presence. Her gaze flicked over you briefly.
“You’re new,” she said.
It wasn't a question.
“Yeah,” you replied because it seemed like a polite thing to do.
She didn't seem particularly interested beyond that.
You bought two things: something aggressively pink and a bag of sour worms.
The silence that settled between you wasn't uncomfortable. It simply existed. However, since she wasn't walking away, you decided to introduce yourself.
“Ieiri Shoko,” the girl replied, cracking open her can.
“Oh.” You glanced toward her; her name sounded familiar. “We're roommates. Sort of.”
“Figured.” The corners of her mouth twitched, though it never quite turned into a smile.
Somehow, you didn’t rush back to your room like you had planned after you acquired your snacks. You stayed and talked with Ieiri, even if the conversation moved at a snail’s pace. Maybe it was because you didn't feel threatened or maybe because every time you thought about leaving, she would casually say something that reeled you back into the conversation.
Ieiri told you she didn’t think there was much difference between Kyoto and Tokyo when it came to classes or training after you mentioned being worried about adjusting to Tokyo.
You offered her your sweets; she took two worms. In return, she pulled out a pack of cigarettes, slipped one between her lips, and silently offered you one as well.
You weren’t really a smoker. You’d tried once or twice just for the sake of it, but the habit never stuck. Still, you took one. Maybe it would calm your nerves. And unlike in the past, the idea of smelling like tobacco didn’t seem as unappealing. If anything, it might help mask your already muted omega scent even further, in case your barrier flickered if you focused lessened, or worse collapsed competely.
“So,” she started, passing you the lighter—you made sure not to touch her hand, avoiding questions about the barrier coating your skin, “why transfer here?”
You shrugged, lighting the cigarette and inhaling. The smoke filled your lungs, strangely comforting. To your relief, the cough you expected didnt came, but it still took a few small inhales before you adjusted to the taste.
“Not really my choice,” you said, exhaling slowly, watching the smoke curl in the air.
“No?”
“I was told to come. . . I only have two years left anyway.”
Ieiri hummed softly, as if filing the information away rather than judging it.
More than once, you caught her watching you—not in a way that felt invasive, but observant. Noting things without commenting on them.
When your fingers lowered and the ash from your cigarette fell cleanly to the ground without touching you, her gaze lingered for a fraction longer.
✧ ✧ ✧
Together, you spent another hour outside.
One cigarette became two.The conversation came in pieces—short remarks, pauses, the occasional comment that didn't require a response.
The breeze moved through the courtyard, carrying the scent of damp earth and distant rain.
Eventually, you both headed back inside and into the classroom.
The moment you stepped inside, it hit you.
The scent—overwhelming. The air felt thick enough to chew. Alpha pheromones saturated every corner of the room, seeped into the desks, clung to the walls like smoke trapped beneath a ceiling. Your technique dulled the worst of it, filtering the scents through layers of cursed energy, but it didn't erase it.
You stepped to the nearest window and pushed it open without hesitation. Fresh air flooded inside. Only then did you notice the room properly.
Four desks near the front. A chalkboard with faint remnants of writing. Someone had drawn something crude in the corner—half erased. Another attempt at writing had been scratched out, leaving only a fragment: Yaga…
You sat down. Shoko took the desk beside yours. Conversation resumed easily between the two of you. Something about the city. Something about training. Something about nothing in particular. You listened more than you spoke.
The classroom door slid open. Your attention snapped toward it immediately, eyes narrowing as if you were assessing a threat, which in a way you were.
Gojo Satoru entered like he owned the room. His scent pressed forward even through your barrier. Sharp and electric, demanding attention whether you wanted to give it or not. His white hair stuck out in every direction, dark sunglasses perched on his nose. A bright pink lollipop rested between his lips, which he pulled out to twirl between his fingers, as his eyes lazily scanned the classroom.
Your body tensed, shoulders drawing inwards before you could stop yourself as his gaze stopped directly at you, the smirk widening as if he found what he was looking fo.r
Another figure followed behind him.
Where Gojo’s presence crashed into the room, this one settled. Heavy. Controlled. His friend's scent stayed coiled close to his body, contained but unmistakable. Hands in his pockets, shoulders relaxed, hair tied back in a messy bun. His gaze was just as curious as Gojo’s, though far more restrained.
“You’re both uncharacteristically early today,” Ieiri commented as they dropped into the empty chairs behind you and her. Like she, you turned slightly to the side so you could look at the two of them.
“Are we?” Gojo leaned forward, elbows on his desk, chin resting on his knuckles as he popped the lollipop back into his mouth. Despite the sunglasses shielding his eyes, you noticed them flick briefly to Ieiri before settling back on you.
You didn't like the attention, but you refrained from commenting or from saying anything at all.
“You’re usually late,” Ieiri said flatly.
“That’s slander.”
“Yesterday you were thirty minutes late.”
“I was busy. . . sleeping.” Gojo shrugged, twirling his lollipop.
His friend exhaled something that might have been a laugh. Ieiri rolled her eyes and made a disguisted expression.
“Aaaand usually I don't have the motivation to show up,” Gojo admitted shamelessly. “Especially for Yaga's booooring classes.”
Gojo, still looking at you, held out the lollipop, lips curling into a wolfish smirk.
“Want some?”
You shook your head and leaned back slightly, increasing the space between you. Your barrier tightened instinctively, as you spared a brief glance at his friend—who still hadn’t spoken—but like Gojo, he was watching you now. Even Ieiri's eyes were on you now.
The attention made your skin crawl.
The candy disappeared back into his mouth.
“Not the chatty type, huh,” Gojo mused, content to talk to himself as he leaned back, legs stretched out beneath the desk, one hand resting on his knee, fingers drumming.
“Don’t pay attention to him,” Ieiri sighed, thankfully redirecting the conversation after a moment when she clearly saw your shoulders tensing, your spine locking straight. “Any trouble yesterday?”
“None. Obviously,” the other alpha replied, sighing and sinking even lower in his seat before straightening back up. “Though, I would’ve finished earlier if someone hadn’t been messing around.”
“I was not messing around,” Gojo scoffed dramatically, pretending to be offended.
Ieiri raised her eyebrows, obviously not believing him.
“Anyway,” Gojo turned back to you, determined to continue where he had been interrupted. “Do you have a name?”
You didn’t reply, only because he was too quick with yet another comment; however, this time he glanced at Ieiri.
“Is she mute or something? Haven’t heard her say a word yet.”
“I’m not,” you snapped, irritation slipping into your voice because you hated when people talked about you like you weren’t in the room. Despite everything you’d heard about Gojo Satoru—the prodigy, the strongest, multiple other praises—all you could think about right now was that he was loud. Too animated. Took up too much space. Completely incapable of shutting up and definitely fucking annoying.
“Well, then what is it? Your name?” he pressed, but before you could even open your mouth, he continued, yet again interrupting you before you could even part your lips. “No—wait, I’ll guess.”
You let him get through six increasingly ridiculous guesses. By the seventh, you cut him off and introduced yourself, giving only your first name.
“Ohhh, we’re on a first-name basis already? I like that,” his grin widened as he dipped his chin, sunglasses sliding down just enough to reveal a sliver of pale lashes and a hint of ridiculously blue eyes. “Obviously, you already know who I am.”
You scrunched your nose, briefly considering lying just to fuck with him, but decided against it, realizing that it would only spur him on—and he was already too much to deal with.
“And this is Geto,” Gojo added, pointing the lollipop at his friend. “Though I know he’d love it if you called him Suguru.”
Geto didn’t argue.
“You have too much energy this early in the morning,” Ieiri muttered, rubbing her temples before sinking in her seat, leaning all her weight on the back of her chair.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Gojo tilted his head, a few strands of white hair falling into his face as he pouted, bottom lip jutting out.
“She means you’re talking too much,” Geto clarified.
You snorted before you could stop yourself, quickly swallowing the sound and forcing your expression back to blank. The corner of Geto’s lips twitched as your eyes locked for a moment.
Unlike Ieiri, or even Geto, who only occasionally made a comment as the conversation continued—well, it was more of a monologue from Gojo—Gojo obviously had no concept of boundaries. And despite Ieiri’s attempts to redirect attention away from you, whenever she noticed you shifting in your chair, the empty packet crinkling between your fingers as you tried to avoid a question, or when you outright glared at Gojo, he didn’t ease up.
“Are you really an omega?” he asked.
The room stilled.
Geto straightened, his attention sharpening. Even Ieiri froze, waiting for the answer to one of the questions she hadn’t dared ask back at the vending machines.
You knew what prompted the question—the absence, the wrongness of it. Your scent should have been obvious, should have soaked into the room. Instead, there was nothing, contained, suppressed, locked behind cursed energy, which was becoming harder to maintain considering your emotions were all over the place.
“Are you really an alpha,” you shot back, “or just annoying like that?”
Gojo burst out laughing. Geto exhaled sharply; it almost sounded like a low chuckle. Even Ieiri’s lips twitched.
Leaning forward again, Gojo inhaled deliberately, unconcerned with subtlety. His gaze traveled down your frame as if looking for something.
Your pulse spiked. The barrier strained but remained intact. You pressed yourself into your seat, chair legs scraping faintly as it slid an inch backward. Your arms instinctively wrapped around your waist.
You didn’t know why you were avoiding the answer. You thought about pretending to be a beta back on the train, but that thought was quickly dismissed. You were not nearly strong enough to keep the charade up, and the idea of maintaining your barrier all the time for two years straight sounded exhausting. Still, you neither confirmed nor denied it. It was bound that the truth about you being omega would eventually become known to everyone, but you wanted to keep that a secret for as long as you could—even if it was just another five minutes.
“Boundaries, Satoru,” Ieiri snapped, tossing her empty can at his shoulder.
Gojo’s infinity made it bounce off him. It rolled across the floor toward Geto’s desk, and he picked it up before tossing it into the bin near the door.
Gojo only slumped back in his chair when you gave him the answer he wanted—a clipped, quiet, thoroughly annoyed yes that made him smirk. And you only said it because he was clearly intent on glaring holes into your head until you caved and finally admitted it; it was the only way to maybe get rid of his attention and the scrutinizing gaze.
Before he could ask another question you didn’t want to answer, Yaga Masamichi walked in.
✧ ✧ ✧
The class started. Time dragged. Gojo remained loud throughout all of it. There wasn’t a stretch longer than five minutes without some running commentary, a complaint, or an observation nobody had asked for.
When Yaga finally dismissed everyone, relief unfurled inside your chest. Only for him to ask you to stay behind. Back in Kyoto, one-on-one conversations with your teacher had rarely meant anything good. Usually, they ended with criticism, additional assignments, or some variation of you need to do better. This time, however, you didn’t mind.
Staying behind meant not having to walk out into the hallway and risk Gojo picking up exactly where he’d left off.
The conversation itself was brief and largely inconsequential. Yaga asked a few questions. You gave neutral answers.
The only moment that caught you off guard came right before he dismissed you.
“You handled yourself well.”
When confusion washed over your face, he elaborated.
“Using your innate technique to shield yourself was smart.”
The praise settled awkwardly in your chest, unfamiliar enough that you didn’t know where to put it.
By the time you left the classroom, Yaga had already turned his attention back to paperwork.
That afternoon, you secluded yourself in your room after raiding the vending machines yet again, this time coming back with a bigger haul. Despite knowing better, you skipped lunch, needing a moment to yourself. By the time dinner rolled around, however, you knew you couldn’t avoid the cafeteria any longer.
To your surprise, you only found Ieiri and Geto there, the space otherwise empty. After grabbing your food, you carried your tray over and sat down with them.
“You skipped lunch today,” Geto remarked, tone casual, matter-of-fact.
“Needed a nap more than food,” you replied, a lie that came easily because it was already on the tip of your tongue.
Though Gojo’s presence was not missed in the slightest, you still noticed his absence, and as much as you didn’t want to ask, the question slipped out anyway. You reasoned with yourself that you needed to know where he was if you wanted to continue avoiding him.
“Where’s Gojo?”
A smirk tugged at Geto’s mouth. “Miss him already?”
You kept your eyes firmly on your tray.
“No,” you said dryly, continuing to push food around instead of eating. “I just want to know who to thank for keeping him busy.”
Ieiri snorted. You shot her a glance, a satisfied smile flickering across your lips before it faded—because the way you kept exchanging glances over the meal reminded you too much of Utahime, who you missed despite seeing her yesterday.
You definitely should call her later tonight.
“Yaga,” Geto answered. “Satoru forgot to put up a curtain during a mission. Again. He’s on cleaning duty. Scrubbing floors.”
“And is he really? Scrubbing floors?” you asked, rolling your eyes. There was no chance Gojo Satoru was using a broom for its intended purpose.
Geto’s chuckle rumbled low in his chest. “Probably not.”
Neither Geto nor Ieiri rushed you, waiting until you’d finished before standing. When the three of you stepped outside, Ieiri immediately reached into her pocket.
“A cigarette after a meal is mandatory.”
The evening air was cool, though the wind wasn’t harsh, even less so with your barrier up—only a slight breeze.
“Didn’t peg you as a smoker,” Geto commented as Ieiri pulled out two sticks and handed one to you.
“Occasionally,” you said with a shrug, though you had a strange feeling the habit might stick.
As Ieiri lit her cigarette, Geto flicked his lighter open. One hand shielded the flame from the breeze as he tipped his chin toward you. You leaned in without taking the lighter. Your muscles tensed when he leaned closer as well, the tips of your cigarettes brushing briefly as the flame caught.
Your gaze lifted. Your body froze. Up close, his eyes weren’t black like you’d thought earlier. They were a deep, dark shade of purple.
He tilted his head slightly, not pulling away when he realized you were looking at him. His bangs slipped to the side, eyes narrowing as if he noticed something interesting, though he said nothing. Neither did you, as if hypnotized.
When Geto still didn’t move, you forced yourself to step back instead. Straightening, you inhaled a long drag and deliberately ignored the way Ieiri was watching the two of you.
✧ ✧ ✧
The rest of the week was. . . a lot. You expected chaos, but it went beyond that, leaving you quietly questioning whether you could really endure the next two years like this.
Tuesday proved that Monday hadn't been a fluke.
Gojo was just as overbearing, just as relentless, and somehow even more irritating than before. His attention remained fixed on you no matter how thoroughly you demonstrated your complete lack of interest in entertaining him. It was like being stalked by an especially loud stray cat—one that never got tired, one that talked constantly.
Geto was quieter. Far quieter. Yet somehow, you were always aware of him. You’d catch him watching from across the classroom, listening whenever you spoke to Ieiri, leaning toward Gojo to whisper something whenever Yaga’s back was turned. You never managed to hear what was being said.
The fact that you wanted to know bothered you more than the fact that it was happening.
Thankfully, you had Ieiri. You found yourself sticking close to her throughout the week, and to your relief, she seemed to enjoy your company as much as you enjoyed hers.
Wednesday offered some relief during training when you and Ieiri were paired for hand-to-hand combat. You were stronger with your technique than she was, but she didn’t seem bothered by it—especially not when the two of you managed to sneak away for a few smoke breaks while Yaga focused his full attention on chewing out Gojo and Geto, who were doing everything but practicing the drills they needed to do.
Thursday was the worst. Although you didn’t see Gojo or Geto—they were away on a mission, as Ieiri told you when the two of you ate breakfast—Yaga summoned you and informed you that you would be sent out on a mission the following day.
Initially, you were excited. Despite how tough some missions could be, it was always a chance to improve, and you were determined to become the best damn sorcerer you could be.
“This will be your first mission here in Tokyo,” he said. “Nothing overly difficult.”
You nodded, standing in front of his desk, hands loosely clasped behind your back as you tried not to fidget too much.
“A public high school,” Yaga continued, sliding a thin file across the desk. “Grade Four curses.”
You stepped forward to glance at the paperwork. The relief was immediate. Grade Four meant nuisance-level—tedious, perhaps, but not dangerous. Basically a perfect first mission for you in Tokyo.
“As a Grade Two sorcerer,” Yaga went on, “you’re more than capable of handling this. However—”
Your stomach dropped, immediatly knowing you were not going to like what he said next.
“—the infestation is widespread. Multiple classrooms, hallways, and a basement. This means working alone would be inefficient.”
You clasped your hands behind your back again, nails digging into your palms.
Yaga suddenly leaned back in his seat and studied you longer than necessary. His gaze dropped to your posture, then the faint hum of cursed energy beneath your skin.
“You are still maintaining your technique,” he observed, abruptly changing the topic.
“Yes.”
“Constantly?”
You hesitated, not sure if you should be honest, but decided there was no point in lying. “I only drop it when I’m alone.”
Yaga nodded once. “Smart. But costly.”
You didn’t deny it, muttering something about it being manageable as long as you kept fueling your body and didn’t skip meals. He offered no comment, smoothly redirecting the conversation back to the mission.
“Gojo and Geto will accompany you.”
Your chest tightened, but you forced your expression to remain neutral. You’d only maintained your barrier on a mission a handful of times before, but being partnered with them meant you’d have to do it again. You wondered why you couldn’t be paired up with someone else, literally anyone else. . . but just like always, you refused to backtalk your teacher.
After a pause, Yaga added, “The school has three floors. It would be wise to split up.” Another pause, like he was expecting you to say something, like he expected a student to complain or fight about it. “But if at any point maintaining your barrier compromises your performance,” his voice hardened, “you do not drop it. You pull back instead and leave the rest to Gojo and Geto. Understood?”
“Understood.”
“For future missions,” Yaga continued, “I’ll try to pair you with a beta or send you solo when appropriate.”
The thought of being alone with Gojo and Geto—especially Gojo, who so openly ignored your boundaries and seemed to take pleasure in provoking you—made your stomach twist.
For the past week, Ieiri had been a buffer—a friend when the four of you were together, and a beta between omega and the two alphas.
Tomorrow, there would be nothing between you.
You knew, without a doubt, that the mission would not go smoothly, no matter how easy it seemed on paper. The curses might be low-grade, but Gojo and Geto were a special-grade nuisance of their own—especially the annoying white-haired idiot—and you weren’t sure you could handle either of them.

Classification: Special Grade Hazard (Satoru Gojo x Reader x Suguru Geto )
the first time you meet gojo, there’s a massive language barrier.
he’s in the uk on a mission, destroying a special grade outside of a popular nightclub. you’re obviously completely oblivious to his world, but when he catches your eye, you can’t leave him alone. it’s probably the alcohol giving you confidence, and he’s trying to slip away, but he can’t communicate with you at all.
“we…” his accent is thick, and after listening to you ramble on for the past ten minutes, he realises he understood so little of what you were saying. “should leave.”
gojo had intended to use the pronoun i, so was more confused when you smile, grab his arm and begin to pull him along. you intrigued and scared him, somehow pushing through his limitless - he thinks that perhaps you’re so oblivious, it simply doesn’t work on your being.
“i don’t usually do this,” you speak, still holding onto him. he’s so distracted by the fact your hand is touching his skin that he ignores the fact you’re actually leading him somewhere, past the nightclub and toward an apartment block. “you’re lucky i don’t live that far.”
“what…” he begins again, cursing himself for paying off his english tutor in school. “nani o shite imasu ka?”
you look up to him, a little confused, before realising that he has said very little this entire time. “wait, do you speak english?”
you’ve stopped walking, and he tries to process what you’ve said, but only understands the word english.
“we are japanese.” he speaks, and you laugh enthusiastically. he realises he’s said something wrong, but not what.
“mine?” you ask plainly, gesturing to the apartment building. he’s looks at the old brickwork, and sighs.
“mine.” he repeats back. “casa?”
you laugh again, much harder. “close enough.” you let go of his hand, turning to open the door. looking over your shoulder, he’s still there, looking bewildered.
“you coming?”
he thinks for a moment, before letting out his own laugh at the ridiculousness. “ok.”
the next morning, he leaves without saying a word, and goes straight to his old english tutor. you’re astounded when he shows up at your door again in 4 months time, this time, speaking fluently.
cw. Yandere! Geto, nonsorcerer f!mc, tit worship, lactation, implied diet control, controlling and possessive behavior from geto as per usual, kinda Stockholm syndrome kind of not?
Solitude stopped feeling like peace.
And you knew deep down that was his plan all along.
He wanted to be your normalcy. Your only sense of stability in all of this chaos neither of you could control outside. He knew as well as you how much of a mess it was, and little could be done to change that. Even with his own efforts, he understood the likelihood of him succeeding being incredibly slim.
It didn’t stop him from trying. That in itself you admitted was an admirable quality of his. Maybe only among the few admirable qualities he possessed at all.
He found a way to silence the storm constantly brewing in your mind.
The minute he entered the room, the voices stopped. Your droopy eyes found the teensiest bit of life back as they glanced up at the man you couldn’t remember anymore, why you loathed so much at first.
Frail hands extended toward him, uttering a weak sound and he happily sighed while scooping you up from the bed by your midriff, kissing into your neck.
“You take too long,” you whined with a little too much petulance for your liking, and he laughed, his shoulders shaking with mirth as he continued his affections along your collarbone.
“Nothing could keep me away from you forever, my dear.”
“Make it up to me,” you murmured.
Already slipping off your silk robe, Geto whispered, “Always.”
Trailing kisses down your sternum, pausing to admire and squeeze the impressive size of your mounds--in some ways he did still act like a teenaged boy who scored with a girl for the first time with you--before sucking in a nipple into his mouth, nibbling a bit on the sensitive bud.
You sharply inhaled, hands flying to grab his still fondling your oversensitive tits. Shameless moans dripped from your mouth--delicious sounds to Geto, you were certain of that--and soon your bodies dropped back onto the feathery soft bed, tangled in each other’s warmth. Desperately seeking more and more of each other, unable to imagine a time moments ago where you were without the other. Geto loathed time without you more than you did, and he planned to show you how much he longed for you all day. From purring casual compliments to showering you with praise higher than he would ever give even his own family members, anything to remind you that you were all he ever really needed. Everything else-- the cult, his family, eradicating the general population of the world except for other sorcerers (and you)-- that was all pure fluff. Pure hogwash. He knew how ridiculous it all sounded and it didn’t matter anymore.
Your hands gingerly moved to entwine with his as his mouth moved along your breasts, tip of his tongue drawing little patterns, probably spelling out his name on your chest, imagining you as his priestess, his wife, everything he adored in something he let the rest of the world believe he loathed but it simply wasn’t true.
Latching his mouth onto your nipple again, seeking something, sustenance, anything, he knew the diet he orchestrated for you should help stimulate your milk. It worked. The sweet nectar rushing over his tastebuds and he groaned, sucking harder, needier, hands tightening their grip around yours and pinning your body further into the mattress with his, rutting his need against your leg. The heat between the two of you builds, and builds, and builds, until it became unbearable, until it somehow still wasn’t enough--
“--Suguru, please, I can’t,” you panted, arching yourself up into him but he didn’t relent, seeking his own gratification in this moment- especially with this he became more and more selfish like this quelled the beast within him.
He removed his mouth with an audible noise and splotches of your milk splattered on the corners of his lips, which he flicked right off either side with his tongue. His eyes met yours- predatory, darkened like a dragon about to strike its prey- clearly his needs were still unmet.
He kissed you, and you didn’t shy away this time, but your movements were still restricted by his hands clamped around yours, while his tongue invaded your mouth. You tasted bits of yourself and you didn’t exactly enjoy that but you endured for him. You were everything to him and that was enough for you, because you wanted to feel loved for once, you wanted to accept the love even if it was someone you initially couldn’t accept. You didn’t remember why anymore- why you refused or rejected him for so long when he knew down to a fine art what made your body sing to the Heavens above.
Why did you deny it? Why did you let this go on for so long when you could just let him?
You could… finally just let him have you.
He pulled away for a moment, allowing yourself to catch your breath, but he didn’t move too far, loosening his grip on your hands as they move to cup his face, your eyes scanning every little minute detail of him.
Even if it wasn’t what you wanted, you could have this, at least. At least, this monster could love you, even if- you have to delude yourself into thinking you wanted it just as bad. This could be enough. The little girl inside of you still clung onto the idea that love like this could be real, but maybe this wasn’t her vision of Prince Charming.
Sure- maybe on paper he sounded Iike the perfect man for anyone who looked for something like that. Rich. Handsome, like something out of a stunning artwork of a God. Charming almost to an uncanny degree with others, even with you initially.
“What’s troubling you, my dear? What are you thinking about you?”
“Nothing,” you muttered, pecking his nose. “Just thinking about you.”
“Oh? Don’t just leave me in the dark. Enlighten me,” he teased while nuzzling his nose against yours. So oddly affectionate around you only- no one else as far as you understood, especially no one else in your league but he declared you didn’t count. You were too perfect to be like them.
“Oh. I um…”
“Getting shy again? I thought we worked that out of you.”
“Suguru!”
“Sorry, sorry, I’m just giving you a hard time.”
“You’re doing that when you could be doing something else instead.”
“If you must know, I’ve been too busy thinking about you too.”
“Well, don’t leave me in the dark,” you parroted, “Enlighten me.”
He laughed, but then quickly fell silent, eyes resting on your face as his smile remained. “There’s something different about your energy lately.”
“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”
“I’m not sure,” he confessed, resting his forehead against yours. “But I don’t mind it. It just sounds like you’re well-adjusted now.”
“Oh.” You considered his words. “I guess that’s true.”
“Does being with me feel better than going back out there?”
I don’t know. “Yes,” you told him, but you were beginning to believe it yourself.
Something about that delighted him and his entire face brightened. “You mean it?”
“I- yes, Suguru, I mean it.”
He celebrated with another kiss, pulling away to speak, almost breathless himself this time: “Then now we can be happy together, like we always wanted.”

You should really, really know better.
No, really--you know what types of tricks he's pulled right out of his crusty dusty ass and yet you can't untangle yourself out of his web of deceit. It's unbecoming of a woman of your stature. Disgustingly educated because upon learning a staggering chunk of the population is functionally illiterate has you jump scared into working a thousand times harder than you already are. You like to think you're an absolute goddess, if you do say so yourself, because unlike what the world tries to tell you, you take pride in the way you present and carry yourself: like you own the entire damn world.
And in every aspect of your world, you do. (Or did.)
…Except in one particular department: whatever weird tango Geto Suguru has you entangled in for the last… what? You actually count on your fingers. Bordering 11 months now since you broke up with him for being such a skeeze. In more ways than one! You have no time for games. No time for anyone's bullshit but your own, and even you have to say no to certain things involving yourself because there are aspects of your life which take much, much higher priority.
In spite of that, though… he finds a way to weasel back into your life like the cunning snake he is. You know of his real background. You know of all the ways he's deceived not only you but the people he claims to help in that overly glorified temple of his, parading around as a fake priest in just about the tackiest getup your eyes have ever bestowed upon. You're no stranger to his quirkier traits; you haven't the slightest idea how deep those quirkier traits of his ran until you've accidentally stumbled upon him cursing one of his billionaire clients to death after draining them of their money and other valuable resources.
You do recall learning inadvertently that he's a high school dropout; he's had to make a living somehow, you guess, but that's not the healthiest way to go about earning that much money.
Yes, while you have been aware of the existence of spirits, you have never known what to do about it. No one else seems to know about them or even believe in them as the mainstream public generally don't concern themselves with such hogwash. But you have experienced it upon your first meeting with Geto--where he's exorcised such spirits that you didn't realize were draining your energies. All this time, you believed you were coming down with an especially bad case of the flu. It is that season, you remember snarking at Geto, but he laughs in response, insisting that you pay a visit to his estate if you want 'true healing,' sounding like every priest ever baiting their next client into their system.
But what a unique discovery--he's actually legit, unlike the myriad of other frauds that have documentaries exploiting every detail of their schemes. He heals you. From the minute you approach him, you feel the weight lifting off of your shoulders, and without telling him in specifics the symptoms you have been experiencing he lists them off like he's been down this road numerous times before.
You almost want to call him God.
And you sort of do. Muttering under your breath in sheer awe of the man towering before you, "God, are you real?"
To which he smirks in response, "Indeed, I am," before laughing more openly at his own joke. You almost want to knock him down a peg or two because like any other man, he is way too damn prideful. The annoying thing about it is that he has a reason to be as prideful and haughty as he is.
And you haven't even gotten to the good part.
Well, you are using the term 'good' loosely…
In that moment, it's when he remarks he'd like, more than anything in the world, to get to know you. Everything goes to shit from there, and yet you haven't learned your lesson.
Maybe there's a part of you that wants to do it all for the sake of it. Maybe you want to string him along like he often does to you. And you absolutely can get away with it--or it's more like he's more than happy to let you believe you get away with it.
Which is what leads you here.
He's got you wrapped around his body like you're the chunky, juicy, dripping filling of his burrito. And he can't get enough of you, peppering soft kisses along the nape of your neck and behind your bare shoulder blades as you struggle to scroll through your news feed on the new phone he's bought for you. (What can you say? You're a simple girl in some ways. You get to take advantage of the fact that he's rich… even if it's not through conventional ways or even legal ways, but what the hell can the police force do about a sorcerer?)
There's nothing much you can do about a sorcerer, either. At the snap of his fingers, he can kill you, and you won't even realize what's become of you until you're projected into Heaven or whatever afterlife exists, if it even exists.
Which is part of the reason why you even humor all of this.
You value your life above all.
And he seems to not be able to get out of your hair, either. You don't know how to feel about that. As much as you agree that you have the potential to attract someone wealthy, and someone powerful, and someone utterly drop dead gorgeous to match your drop dead gorgeousness, what you never expected is that it would be someone like Suguru.
"Why so lost in those eyes of yours, hm?" He laughs behind you, sending shivers up and down your entire system. "You're not trying to plot your escape, are you? You know how I feel about that."
"Does it look like I give a flying fuck about how you feel, Suguru?"
"Watch that tone, pet. I don't want to have to kill you."
There's that deep, deep scowl in his snippier response--you're fighting fire with fire. You both are strong willed. You both are fucking stubborn at that. Too stubborn to admit defeat, too stubborn to let either of you believe your resolves are crumbling down like ancient, dilapidated buildings.
"If you wanted me dead, I would have been dead already," you point out.
"Oh, a smart one," he murmurs between fervent, heated kisses, "Aren't you at least going to admit you missed this? Miss us?"
Your gaze shifts elsewhere. "We both know I'd be lying if I said yes."
"Hm." Rather than retort, he peppers a line of heated kisses down your spine, his tongue following suit, and your lips part into a low moan--anything to keep him satisfied and to keep his murderous intentions at bay. You doubt he's ever going to find the gall to do what he threatens, but you don't want to test such uncertain waters.
Getting involved with him in the first place already has you on thin ice like you're taking a daring hike across the North Pole, and you're no expert at fishing yourself out of situations like these.
Evidently.
Hooking your leg around his neck, he runs his tongue over his lips before digging the wet muscle between your folds. You choke on a gasp, clutching tight onto the smart device in one hand and onto the edge of the headboard with the other. A line of drool trickles from your mouth hung open as more shameless moans spill out, betraying your own convictions over the man you swear you loathe.
And you do. You know you do. But you can't fight against someone like him. What an asinine notion—you can’t honestly believe you could fight back.
At least he knows how to use that mouth when he's not yapping your ear off, finding yourself bucking your hips into his tongue, more strings of moans leaving your own loud mouth. This must get him off beyond his wildest dreams. It's every man's desire to wish for someone like you he can come back to whenever life gave him lemons he can't squeeze fresh out until there's that fresh lemonade. All you're doing is giving him the green light when you should be pumping the brakes on all of this, but how can you?
Lewd slurping of your intimates have you flushing even deeper out of embarrassment, and he gives another breathy laugh, before diving back in and nursing a fresh one out of you that morning. He does everything within his power to make you feel all kinds of humiliating things, especially in the comfort of the bed. He doesn't have to be who he is outside, and is strangely attentive to you. Even you have to admit, he can definitely have his pros as much as his cons, but that doesn't change what sort of atrocities he's committed and what he plans to continue to commit.
This almost seems to act as a form of escapism for him.
Maybe he's not all he's cracked up to be.
"Sounds to me like you're lying to yourself the most," he teases as he pops off of your cunt, the bottom half of his face with shiny from a generous coat of your juices that he's still licking off of his lips like it's a dessert he can't get enough of himself. "No one else can take care of you. Why don't you come back home?"
"Is that why you haven't killed me yet?" You murmur while your eyes flutter shut, trying to find some sense of grounding. "Because you want to give me the spare keys to your place again?"
"You've never not had access to those. And you know I want more than that," he admits, "I can protect you."
"From what?"
He frowns. "You know what's out there now. You know I haven't lied to you… much. If you're back at the estate, then you'll be safe."
You fall silent. And then: "Who's going to protect me from you?"
"You don't have to be afraid of me."
"Don't I?" You retort with a huff. "Look at you. Breaking and entering into my home. Getting me into bed after helping yourself to one of my meals while threatening my life like you own the damn place."
"It was delicious by the way--"
"--whatever! My point is, you can't keep interjecting, Suguru. I have a life."
"Yeah," he scoffs, "On a journalist's salary?"
"I like to think I get by quite swimmingly without your help, thank you very fucking much."
"What's next, you leave me for Clark Kent and then find out he's Superman and you're going to bring me to my doom?"
"Seriously, Suguru? Enough with the DC scenarios. Life isn't a goddamn comic book. And you're no Lex Luthor. You're more of a…" You trail off. "Joker. Or maybe the Riddler. I don't know, and I don't really care."
"Why the villains?"
"…Why NOT the villains? You're obviously no Batman. Unless you're Earth-13 Batman."
"Duly noted," Geto quips, crawling up to you to brush a damp stray of hair away from your face, soaked from sweat. "You know I miss you. You can't be happy like this."
"But without you around, I don't cry," you clap back, "I don't feel like I'm walking on eggshells all the time, wondering if it was finally going to be the day you force your hand and you finally kill me."
"I can't."
"What?"
"I can't kill you."
"That's not that much of a relief," you grumble as your eyebrows furrow. "Or the compliment you think it is."
"I love you."
Irritation flashes in your eyes. "Do you even know what that means?"
"Believe it or not, pet, I do have a heart," Geto retaliates, "One that was stone cold until you waltzed into my life. Why do you think I come back to you so much? It's not to scare you. Not like you think."
"I have to be scared of you," you reply, frowning, "I have to be. I know what you can do. I know how powerful special grades have the potential to be and I know aside from you, there are only three other ones that I remember you bringing up in your meetings. I know I can never trust you, and it's you who made that possible. Things were obviously better between us when I was still blissfully ignorant to your world."
"But you are my sole exception," he declares, resting his forehead against yours as his intense violet gaze bores into yours. It almost hurts to look at him--he puts a whole new meaning to blindingly gorgeous, enchanting, tempting like taking a bite out of the poison apple. "You have to try to trust me about that. You said so yourself, my dear. If I wanted you dead, you would have been dead already."
"Suguru, there's not a single thing in the world you could do to get me to trust you the way I once did."
There's something amiss in his expression---even down to his tone. Softer. Vulnerable. Almost… weak.
"But do you love me?"
That's a song you've heard him perform before, on numerous occasions--desperation. He doesn't shy away from it. Not when it comes to you or to his goals, ultimately.
Something catches in your throat. Something a lot like your heart threatening to spill, arteries and everything. Beyond all logic, beyond all rhyme or reason, you still can't bring yourself to hate him. Knowing what he is, what he's going to do. What he can do to you. It doesn't compute in your mind which strives for logic and practicality and keeping things moving as efficiently as possible. It's how you've gotten far in your life--through sheer determination.
He has that in common with you. You hate to admit it.
"I… can't answer that, Suguru. That's not fair," you manage, suddenly feeling like the air between you became thick and heady and not in a good way. In a 'something's about to go down' way. "Don't forget: it was you who betrayed me. It was you who lied to me. I have every right to hate you."
And yet, you don't. You can't.
"What's not fair is you still torturing me like this," he sighs, steady hands coming to cup your face, brushing along the plumpness of your cheeks. "I know you still cry without me too."
"There's a lot to cry about," you confess, and without skipping a beat, tacking on: "That has nothing to do with you. How long have you been watching me?"
He offers you a wry smile, pecking your nose in that same soft way he always did. Almost making you think he's the Suguru he tricked you into thinking he is, but he's never who he says he is. You're not even sure who the man is in bed with you. Another reason you're scared of him.
"Are you sure you want me to answer that?"
"A fair assessment," you remark, in an almost robotic tone. "Don't you have people waiting for you?"
"You come first." His eyes flit down then back up. "In more ways than one."
You ignore that comment.
"Even before the twins?"
"They can handle themselves, but they miss you too."
"That doesn't really help your case," you point out, and he hums in acknowledgement.
"There's really nothing I can do?"
"Nothing that will change things for your sake, no."
"Worst case scenario I take you anyway. You don't need a life like this."
"It's still mine," you say, "I worked for it."
"I still want to be a part of it," he interjects, "I still want to be yours."
"But what if I don't want you?"
"It doesn't change how I feel about you," he replies as his thumbs caress your cheeks. Tears threaten to spill, and you don't like that he still can effect you at all. It's not fair. None of this is. You have given your heart to the wrong man and just when you think you're ready to move forward, he finds a way to reel you back in hook, line, and sinker.
"Does it not wound your ego that someone you want doesn't want you?"
"Oh, more than I would ever lead you to believe, but the fact that I'm still trying proves you're worth it."
And then he goes and says things like that… does he know what that does to you? Of course, otherwise he might have found a way to reframe those words. You have to remember they're nothing but sweet lies. Men are good at that, but especially he is good at that because at one point in time, he's meant something to you, too.
"How do I know this is not another ego trip for you?"
"What do I have to do to prove to you that my feelings for you were never lies?"
"Do you think I know the answer as well as you?!"
Geto falls silent this time, considering your words. For once, it actually looks like the gears are shifting in that noggin of his, as his eyes scan your face.
"I don't want to be the bad guy," Geto remarks, "I want to make things right with you, if you give me another chance to do that."
"But you haven't done anything to improve where you stand in my life."
"I know."
"So then what is your plan? I'm not some stupid girl, you know. You can't just whisk me away into wonderland and expect me to believe you'd give me the world. You promised me that once and you failed to deliver. I've never been the kind of girl to give second chances."
"So I really am just wasting my time on you?" He quips with a challenging glint in his eyes.
"You may as well be, yeah. I don't want anything to do with you," you declare with conviction strong in your tone. "Every time I want to think I can live a life without you, you try to string me back along and I'm sick of it. I was not happy with you before, and I'm not going to be happy with you again."
You pry his hands off of your face. You're surprised you haven't stained your cheeks with your tears yet, impressed you can hold your own against someone who once brought everything down in your life. And still tries to even now.
"Look at you. Lying more than I ever have," he starts, hands sliding down your hips, gripping tight. "Do you think I don't notice the little cracks in the mask you try to put on around me? You remind me too much of myself in some ways, when I was still struggling to accept the way the things were."
You don't know how to respond to that.
"No matter how you think you feel, pet, you do still feel something for me," he continues, "I know it, in every expression you make. I can tell what you say betrays your true feelings. It's adorable, really, thinking you can hide from me for so long. But I'll always be with you, my dear. I'll always be for you. I wish you would stop being foolish and come back home. We don't need to keep playing charades because the moment you've started to match my energy, you've already lost."
"What makes you so certain of that?" You challenge.
"You shouldn't doubt how sharp my perceptions are," he quips back, "Especially when it comes to you. Don't you know what it means to be a sorcerer? Do you not remember me telling you where curse spirits come from?"
"…Normal humans being unable to control their cursed energy or emotions."
"Precisely," he replies with a smirk. "And what makes you think you're exempt from curse spirits manifesting from your own emotions?"
Your eyes widen.
"Wh-what are you trying to tell me?"
"Doesn't this sound familiar?" He proposes, before clearing his throat: "'I want to be with him but I know it's bad news for me. He's made my life Hell but I love him. I love him!'"
..Have you gone insane, or has he just recited only the stream of thoughts you have ran through in your mind and never dared to utter out loud?
Does this mean you really can't hide a damn thing from him?
"What's the matter, my love?" He coos in that condescending way of his, a finger tracing down the contour of your cheek. "Curse got your tongue?"
"How am I supposed to believe you?" Ah, denial takes the stage, yet again. Shouldn't you know better by now? You have already chastised yourself for continuing to go down this road with him, and you're going to continue playing that game in spite of knowing better, aren't you?
"You don't have to. Since I can't exactly show you proof without resorting to drastic measures," he confesses, "But it is flattering to know you do still feel something for me. I knew those feelings weren't lost after all."
"Say whatever you please to flatter yourself," you huff, scrunching your nose. "It doesn't mean a damn thing if I didn't tell you outright how I felt. You can come up with whatever narrative best serves you. You do that anyway."
"Come home," he retorts with an exasperated sigh. "This has gone on long enough. Maybe I should have just taken you back instead of fluffing all of this up for you."
"That will never be my home, Suguru. I can't be happy with you."
"But you aren't happy without me, either. You have to choose your poison."
"You can't make me do diddly squat."
"I know I can't, but I know that your heart knows the right choice in this matter."
"Delusional as ever, I see."
"Call it what you will, but in the end, I'm usually right."
"Overinflated sense of abilities, at that."
"You can't blame a man like me."
Well, men in general are like that.
"So what do you say?" He starts again. "Give this another shot?"
"I don't give out second chances."
"Even if you know what your heart wants?"
"What my heart wants is none of your fucking business anymore, now is it?"
"Everything about you is my business. I'm still yours," he replies, "Even if you don't claim me."
So full of shit, so full of delusion, so full of hot air… does he ever know when to call it off?
"I don't want to go back with you. Now if you don't mind, I'm on the clock in about an hour or two, so if you could so kindly show yourself out the door…"
"I can't let you go that easily, I'm afraid. I have to resort to drastic measures."
Before you realize it yourself, you're knocked out cold. The last thing you remember is Geto sporting on his best remorseful expression but you know the man lacked true empathy preferred he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
The last thing you hear before darkness takes over your vision: "I can't help it. I must keep you."
Predictably, the moment you blink your eyes back open, you find yourself facing a familiar high ceiling with that opulent chandelier that previous owners of the Star Religious Group put together. A pounding in your head has you clutching either side as you steady yourself against the headboard, trying to recall previous events. Not much happened, you remember, because you've been too busy arguing for your right to agency and Geto yet again has to take that all away from you because he doesn't know how to handle rejection--much like any other man. He's no different than anyone else--anyone else who carries male anatomy. He happens to have more power over you in more ways than one and he's no different to any man in power or with power who wants to abuse that privilege as much as possible.
"Ah, there's my angel. Welcome home," Geto greets you with that stretched, saccharine smile that kind of treads into uncanniness for you. It always seems performed, especially with his clients, but there's always some cracks in his foundation when it comes to you, and apparently, matters of his heart. Because he insists he actually has one.
What a load of hogwash.
"Piss off," you grunt with a deep scowl, rubbing the sides of your head in soothing circles in an attempt to quell the mild throbbing. How does he act so fast? What are you to do about it? He may not want to kill you, but that doesn't exempt him from being capable of utilizing other means to keep you for himself. "I'm not going down this road with you again, Suguru. Why can't you let me live my damn life? What's so advantageous for me about living here with the man I'm more afraid of than anything?"
"Anything?" He laughs, "Even ultimate judgment?"
"I don't believe in God, so no, not that."
"But you believe in me. Don't you?" He asks, "I"m the closest thing to a God the world will ever know."
"Hardy har har," you respond in a dry tone. "Now, seriously. When are you going to get me out of here?"
"You are free to come and go as much as you please, but if you try to run away…"
"I know, I know. You'll always be able to come and find me."
Geto grins. "That's my girl."
You do your best not to visibly flinch. You have no power in this, you know, but that doesn't mean you don't go down trying. It's a pity you won't get the freedom you yearn for any time soon because he struggles more with letting you go, and you, for understandable reasons, allow it.
"So silent all of a sudden?" Geto points out, "Are you going to be accepting of the fact take you belong here with me?"
"I'm sure you would love that more than anything, but no. You know I can't be happy with you. Not for the rest of my life."
"Hm." Geto hums. "You tell me that to my face, but I know what it is you truly desire. You can't truly hide what you feel from me or should I introduce to you the curses you've created that I've exorcised?"
"How would I even be able to see them, Suguru?"
"There are methods for normal purple to see curses. Kids can see them up until a certain age, but generally it doesn't last for that long into their adolescence. Sorcerers from different clans have created tools to help those who haven't been born with the innate ability o see curses."
This still makes 0 sense to you. Learning anything about sorcery and jujutsu is practically the equivalent of you trying to decipher hieroglyphics.
Which honestly? That kind of tracks.
"…I don't need to see them," you decide, meekly adding, "I believe you."
"Oh? Someone's admitting it to me now?"
"I hate to prove you right, but I do still love you," you say, "Whoever you are."
"Whoever I am?"
"I'm still not sure who Suguru really is," you continue, "If you're really who you say you are or if you truly believe what you believe."
"I never had any doubts in my convictions," he repiles, as his eyes rest on your face. "Until you, my dear."
"I can't say I find that flattering."
"I don't expect you to. I didn't expect for you to admit that to me this quickly," he goes on as he nuzzles his nose into your neck. "But I"m not mad about it. It's something that gives us a little wiggle room. We can make us work, love. I want you to trust me again like you used to."
"We're nowhere near that far yet," you counter, shooting him a glare. "I am still wary of you. I don't know what you're pulling even when I think I've figured you out. I cannot give you my trust, anymore, but I do love you… for whoever I thought you were."
"That's enough for me to work with," he finalizes. "More than I can ask of you."
"Except you didn't ask that of me," you grumble, "You made me confront it. You lured me into a trap like you always find a way to do. That's not asking something of me."
"I'm sorry," he answers, not sounding sorry in the slightest because Suguru Geto never apologizes for anything, not even going as far as to taking you hostage yet again. Never mind how much you vehemently refuse him, never mind how much you don't want to continue to tango with him like this. Not until you're certain of the man he really is--because everything is a blur for you now. Everything is just a discombobulated mess. Is Suguru Geto the man you fell in love with those months ago, or is he nothing more than a wolf in sheep's clothing?
You can't solve this puzzle just yet… but someday soon, you will, because you haven't a choice on the matter. You are stuck here with him, because you cannot fight the forces you are not trained to fight or to even be able to see.
Fact: life is absurdly random.
Not only that, life is absurd. In every aspect, at every angle, no matter which way you look at it, everything about existence is completely and utterly absurd.
Much like the fact that right now, you have the likes of Suguru Geto catering to your every whim, all because, for once, you have detected that all along he has been telling you the truth about what his true weakness is.
And after everything he's put you through, no one can blame you for reaping the benefits of this newfound (or maybe not so newfound?) knowledge.
The hint of struggle in his expression between his brows as you sink yourself onto his stiff, leaking cock until you sit at the hilt. It doesn't take a genius to notice that he's trying to give you the power. Actually, you have had the power all along; you have just been too stubborn to realize it because you've been too busy denying everything. You can milk all of this--starting with emptying his dick.
"Please," he breathes into a laughably high-pitched wheeze, something you haven't heard out of the man before and it's exhilarating, like watching an impressive tower tumble down into a pile of destruction. "Fuck, you really are perfect for me- aren't you going to take what you want?"
"Patience, Suguru," you purr in a similarly condescending tone that he usually sports in his own cadence, as your fingertips drag along the defined lines of his torso and chest, pinching one of his nipples and his entire body shudders beneath you as you begin to rock yourself against him, settling on a steady rhythm, deciding he's been rough with you long enough.
When he tries to buck his hips upward, you frown, ceasing your movements.
"I thought you were going to sit back this time," you chastise him, but with gentleness carrying your tone--you know better than to try to cross him especially at a time like this. "I want to be the one to give you something, but you have to let me give it to you, Suguru. Or I can stop, and go back to bed. Let you take care of yourself."
"No," he demands in a low growl, hands flying to grip your waist, fingertips digging into your skin. "Don't you dare stop. I'll be good, pet. Take what you want. I'll relax this time- just let me watch my beautiful goddess dance on my cock."
You lean down to capture his lips in a fervent kiss--try as you might to deny it but you can't. You do still feel something for him, whoever he is, whoever he's become. Since you have no conceivable way out, this is the only way you can get something out of it. It's true to a certain extent that you can make the most out of any situation you find yourself in but in this regard, you are left with little wiggle room, with little tools to explore your options. You do not appreciate feeling reduced to something to keep his emotions at bay and his agenda at large, whatever it may be, and you do not think that his love or affections are worth anything more than a serving of soggy fries--disappointing. Disappointing, all of what your life has become because meeting Suguru Geto changed the entire trajectory of it.
Taking everything positive about your life into something completely unsalvagable.
You have never been one to settle or to just accept the status quo. You are still going to find a way to make your life around here as painless as possible. You aren't sure how far you can go, but for now you're trying to drain him completely…
"Is that the best you can give me, Suguru?" You taunt with another twisting of his nipple, causing him to hiss. "And here I thought you were supposed to be the strong one."
Something in his eyes flickers at that statement. If there's anything a man like him, no, if there's anything a man doesn't like, it's his dignity and strength being challenged. Both such strong drivers for their ego and you have set yourself up for something much more than you initially expected.
Which is Geto completely disengaging. Something in his eyes go dark, almost like an act of surrendering, to you, for once; his arms snaking around your body as you sit all the way down on his cock another time, feeling it twitch inside of you, rubbing against every part of you inside just right. But he's not quite there yet- you want to stall this just for a bit longer to savor this small victory, or maybe it's a bigger one than you realize, because he is never one to let himself go like this.
Especially not with someone he otherwise deems as lesser.
But does he really believe anything he preaches anymore? You are the exact reason for you to assume otherwise.
Look at him.
Clawing at you.
His eyes rolling back as you finally milk another one out of him, his seed spilling deep inside of you and filling you to the brim. Some trickling out of your hole and onto his cock like a lewd fountain.
"Doesn't it feel better when you can relax, my Lord?" You tack on that address as your version of layering that coat of icing beyond thick- something to drive your point home.
"Beyond it," he grunts out between gritted teeth, pulling you in for another kissed laden with a kind of desperation you're not only familiar with but it seems to have gone up tenfold in this moment. There it is- you have found one reason to keep going and that's getting to take advantage of him at his most vulnerable. This is yours. This victory is completely yours and nothing can take that away right now.
"I love you," he whispers in that same reverent tone he often carries, and the moment he says it something has changed within you. Or maybe that something has always been there. You have always acknowledged you feel something, something other than loathing- far from it, in fact.
Why does hearing that fill you with . . . Pride?
"I know, my Lord," you reply, "You belong to me, yes?"
"Always," he vows, "I am yours. Forever more, darling. Nothing you do is ever going to change that."
If you cannot win the war, you can be victorious in other battles- much like the one here, in the comfort of his bed, where you dominate, where you decide how hard, where you have control.
Perhaps beyond this, you may find a silver lining. Even if you yourself falling, you have realized how to catch yourself, or at least find a way to support yourself, seek the right accommodations in a less than ideal life where you are constantly fighting for your autonomy and agency. For as long as you can cater to his ego, he shall grant you the privileges you desire.
That has to be enough for now. You have to make it so.
Because this is you walking on that tight rope but you don't know whether you're going to make it to the other side (be it in the literal or metaphorical 'why did the chicken cross the road' sense), and this is the only way you can find and secure that balance.
Your eyes wander, counting the scars still prominent on his chest and stomach. All loud, blaring siren-like reminders of the kind of hardships he continues to face as what he declares himself a higher being. It's something he claims to wear with pride, but why does it also seem to make him feel lost all the same? You recognize it in his longing gazes sometimes. You wonder if the reason why he's so desperate to cling to you is because you have something he no longer has in himself. A semblance of identity, perhaps?
Or maybe it's in your confidence, your own convictions, your own stubborn pride getting in the way and these traits of yours are a mirror to his own.
Ragged breathing snaps you back to reality, a reality you'd much rather not live, as your gaze flits to Geto's face, flushed, debauched, yet doesn't seem that exhausted even after being milked over and over and over. You try to match his pace. His stamina. You're nowhere near his level, but you want to give him a taste of his own medicine, see what it feels like to be on the receiving end.
And yet… he doesn't mind it.
Sitting in silence, never mind his labored breathing--at least you get that much out of him--you don't lift yourself from his cock, somehow still stiff and rigid and ready for another round. It's like the slightest thing about you can set him off and make him want to go at it like rabbits again. You're not sure whether to take that as a compliment because you had hoped to actually tire him out.
Almost isn't good enough.
"Darling," Geto coos, as your eyes chase after that barely noticeable bead of sweat glide across his browline. "What else do you have in store for me tonight?"
"It's gotten quite late."
"Nonsense. The night is still young and I must have more of you," he counters, "This won't end until I say so."
"You aren't supposed to be calling the shots tonight, Suguru. You promised me!"
"Maybe I might have stretched the truth a little," he sighs like he's almost guilty about it but you know this man has never felt guilty for a single damn thing he's ever done. "I can't help it. Do you see yourself? Look at you--flawless. Perfection. And this is all mine."
He pries himself up, supporting himself on his elbows as he dives his head between your breasts, kissing either mound and humming at the suppleness of your skin.
"Clearly the world is in your favor because how else could such a perfect being exist? And who is better than to cherish such perfection, than a superior being such as me?"
There he goes again…
"I adore you. You are the epitome of what a perfect being should be. A deity amongst filth that don't deserve to walk the same Earth you dominate."
Is he going a bit too far with this? Absolutely. Are you at all flattered? Definitely not, you have made that painstakingly clear but that doesn't seem to get through to him at all. You don't know what to do or to say when he gets into these reverent moods--which are coming far more often these days and there's a part of you that wants to relish in it. Even if he sounds just as delusional as he often does, at least these lies are beautiful, like woven silk in an intricate pattern.
"Suguru, I think we should call the rest of the night off," you murmur as you brush your fingers through his enviously long, thick raven hair, admiring the softness, wondering how such beauty is wasted on a man like this. He nuzzles his nose deeper into your cleavage, his lips teasing your skin. You fight back a wince. "You can't show up at your ceremony exhausted tomorrow morning."
He grumbles something under his breath, while considering your words. You're right- there isn't going to be much merit in him showing up to his cult as anything less than the pristine perfect imagine he's built up for himself.
A deity who is worshipped by the very filth he despises… on some other level of an ego trip.
Pathetic. Beyond it.
And yet, understanding that changes nothing about how you still have no real power.
"Perhaps we should wash up and prepare for bed," he concedes after a longer period of reflection. "We have plenty of time to make up for this later."
Oh, absolutely. It's not like you have anything else to offer. He struggles to find some semblance of his true identity in all of this mess while you struggle with just about everything else besides that very thing. In spite of that, though, you are going to do everything to keep your dignity in tact. Nothing he does is going to take it away, even if you do feel something like love in return for him--whatever he is, whoever he is. Whatever he is or whoever he is, he's not the man you fell in love with, he's not the man you actually wanted, once upon a time, to be your forever.
He can't let you go, and you can't let some fallacy of him go.
Are you really so different from each other?
That's a can of worms you're not sure you want to pry open and unleash onto the world.
After washing up, the two of you retire to bed, his arms snaked around your midriff as he presses gentle kisses along your back and spine. In an almost twisted way, it lulls you into a sense of security--if for no other reason than it's something familiar to you--and you drift off into sleep, the last thing you hear is him murmuring words of affection you doubt has ever been true.
For once you welcome the familiarity of Geto ushering you out of bed and thrust into the typical routine. Sometimes even you want to shut off the need to operate on your own and he doesn't waste a second of taking advantage of this particular mindset of yours. It's one of the myriad of reasons why he chose you: he sees you as something vulnerable, something to be taken under his care.
You might have found that insulting a while back. Now you find a sort of comfort in it if for no other reason than you don't have to fight for something. You have been fighting all of your life. Maybe him taking you back is a sign--one blaring at you to lean on something and just let someone else drive.
Why are you so against that in the first place, you wonder, as Geto brushes through your hair before tying it up into a messy bun. He kisses the crown of your head as he finishes wrapping you in a new robe he's designed for you.
What's so wrong about letting him ?
You don't even know anymore. You get to have a break. From thinking, from scheming, from your less than kind mind whenever you're left to stew in your thoughts for a moment too long…
There's nothing wrong with leaning on him, is there?
Is it a crime to actually lean into this now?
You slouch into his chest, listening to the soft rhythm of his heartbeat (and always shocked to find one), and his eyebrows shoot up, but not out of alarm than intrigue. He doesn't miss a thing when it comes to your needs--not a moment too soon and you hear him murmuring something into your ear in that damning tone of his. The one he uses when he thinks he can get something out of this, or when he thinks he can leverage this mindset you're in which could change at the drop of a hat and he knew it. It doesn't stop him from trying.
"Darling, what's the matter? You're not acting like yourself," he remarks, but it's not out of criticism, no. Just an observation, and a keen one. Like you have said before, he doesn't miss anything when it comes to you. "Did you want to cancel the plans we've made for today?"
"There were plans?" You murmur through a yawn, making your eyes water. Suddenly the idea of being engulfed in blankets again doesn't sound so bad, even if it is his bed you're going to occupy. What's it matter? A bed's a bed. A home's a home. And you don't have to lift a finger anymore because he can take care of you. What are you fighting about anymore? You don't even remember anymore, but you know you're kind of tired of fighting for your life, when you know you don't have to, you don't have to anymore, right?
His laugh rings through your ears, and you don't jolt awake or anything. You don't have that chip on your shoulder like you normally do whenever you're within proximity of him or the thought of him even crosses your mind. No, in fact, you might even go as far as to say you're charmed by his presence, the warmth you remember once upon a time, being a comfort to you.
"You were going to accompany me during this morning's prayer, but I can let you rest for a while longer."
"Can't you cancel?" You grumble, nuzzling your face into his chest, finding yourself smiling at the firmness of his muscles. You miss those. You do kind of miss those a lot and calling them your favorite thing. The kind of abs you can grate cheese on or sharpen knives with, so nice. "And just stay with me?"
You don't know what's going on with you either. Maybe you are just over it. Over struggling altogether. Doesn't he like that kind of thing?
Doesn't he like that you want him to stay? You can't tell. He stiffens against you, and you can feel the dread pooling into your heart, pumping slower, like it's giving out just like you're giving out on everything you have tried to deny yourself.
"Do you really want me to?" He asks, his tone surprising you--he's just as shocked by this sudden shift in you and maybe he's skeptical.
You hum in agreement, droopy eyelids finally squeezing shut as his arms snake around your midriff and Geto escorts you back to the bedroom, settling you down on the edge of the bed. Your eyes flit up to his face, and there it is--a grin so wide and his face is practically aglow like he's in the best part of the fairytale.
Must be nice, you think, that he's getting what he wants after working so hard to win you back. You don't know. You don't know if it's true.
Geto closes in on you, caging you with his body like he can't bear to let you get away (and he can't, he's made that painstakingly clear from the get go). Desperate lips peppering a trail of reverent kisses all over your face and neck, stopping at your shoulder where he pauses to breathe, the way he chases after your touch makes you think he's holding himself back from doing something much worse.
Geto's lips capture yours in another fervent kiss, the desperation evident in his mannerisms, his tongue pushing past your teeth and sliding against yours, as his body closes into yours even more until you're engulfed between him and the mattress. He pulls back for a moment, his dark violet eyes scanning your flushed features, before he presses his forehead into yours. His eyes don't blink. Drinking in the sight of you like he doesn't want to forget even the most obscure detail or fact about you.
It's in these moments where you are most loved, and he's the only one who can give it to you. He's probably right about that. In what most of the average man lacks, he absolutely has. Maybe you're coming to terms with that--maybe you're okay with it being Geto.
Your hands fly up to his face, thumbs tracing the small details, the little mole under his right eye, the plumpness of his lips, bruised a bit from how hard he's kissed you like his you're his lifeline. It's these things that keep bringing you back to him like a bad habit, and you can be mad. You can blame yourself, but does it make a difference when he knows as well as you do you can't fight your true feelings or desires?
His eyebrows raise as he sits back to observe, and time slows, like in those cheesy romcoms your mother used to make you watch to force you to bond with her. His eyes are striking and intense like the precious gems a dragon hoards in its lair. And all they're doing is feasting upon you. Taking you in as much as you're taking him in, because maybe there isn't anyone else out there for you. He's right.
Geto leans into your touch, kissing into your palms. Your breath catches, mouth devoid of anything to say when in normal circumstances you're smart-talking him or something of the kind.
"I don't think I can deny you anymore," you admit, biting your lip, "But I also just… don't trust you."
"I know," he replies, "But we can make this work. I'm not such a bad guy. I've proven that to you."
"But you're not the good guy, either."
"Is anyone?" He retorts with a grin that has a more playful edge to it this time.
"No, not really," you agree, "But I don't agree with what you do. What you plan to do. From what little I understand of it all."
"I don't need you to," he says, a finger brushing away a strand of your hair out of your eyes. He always hates not to be able to see you in all of your glory. He's never stopped making those syrupy sweet remarks about how you get more beautiful each time he lays his eyes on you and it's not fucking fair that he can get away with all of that.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Stay."
The request falls from his lips like it's the simplest answer to everything. And maybe it is. Maybe you're the problem: overcomplicating it all when you can just give him another chance to prove himself, but that goes against how you usually move in your life. You don't want to be the kind of girl who gives a man too many chances to let you down.
And maybe it's just not that black and white.
Something catches in your throat again. "You know I have a life outside of you."
"And I won't deny you of that life, should you still want that," he replies, "But stay. I don't need you to agree with me. I don't even need you involved in that part of my life. You aren't either way. You're a much bigger part of my life. I want to make you understand how much more important you are to me."
"Kidnapping me isn't exactly a wise way to go about it."
"I never claimed I was the one with all the brilliant ideas. That's more up your alley."
"How dare you, appealing to my ego like that!"
"You're saying that like it's a bad thing."
"It's the worst. You're the worst! For thinking you can just swoop into my life over and over again until I cave."
"Which you did."
"Which I did, okay yeah, I'll let you have that one. But it's only because I can't deny my feelings anymore and you know it and I know it and I just hate that I can't hate you after everything I've learned about you and I just don't know how to go about this and you can't blame me for that and I hate that you think that just the fact that you love me so much fixes everything!"
"It doesn't."
"You're right! It doesn't! It doesn't change the fact that you lied to me so much about who you are and now I have to know you all over again. I'm not even sure which versions of yourself is truly you and that's just not fair. I might love a man who doesne't even really exist and that's even more unfair to me. Do you understand that? Like, does that get through your brain or are you completely brain dead and too focused on your ultimate life goal and that's destroying the world for whatever bizarre reason that I can't possibly hope to understand?"
"The man you knew before is still me," he insists, "Maybe a filtered version, but it's still me. I didn't completely lie about who I was. I was real with you--as real as I can make it without telling you what goes on behind closed doors. As you can imagine, this sort of thing isn't something we share with the general public."
"Yeah, no damn kidding," you mutter, "Still doesn't make me any less pissed at you. But I still love you. That's the annoying part of all of this!"
"Baby--"
"--no, you're letting me vent and you're not talking again until I finish venting! I am so sick of you thinking you can get away with this all the time and I am so sick of myself for falling for it each and every single time. How do I know you're not just going to disappoint me all over again and we're back at square one? Huh? What am I supposed to do then?--!"
"--You don't have to have all the answers now--"
"--I said you are NOT talking until I figure out what I want to say!--!"
"--Do you know what you want to tell me that you haven't already or that I haven't already inferred myself?"
"Oh yeah? And what is it that you think I'm going to say? What else can you figure out that your curses haven't already revealed to you, all of my deepest darkest feelings?"
"Stop wasting your breath and your energy," he begins, tapping your nose. "You're right where you need to be now. I am going to take care of you. No questions asked. I don't have all the answers for you, and you don't need to have all the answers now. As much as I joke and enjoy the ego boost, I'm no God who is ever omnipresent or omnipotent. I'm as clueless as how to go about things as you are. I don't admit such vulnerabilities to anyone."
You open your mouth to speak. Nothing leaves your usually rambly mouth because that's something the two of you have in common. But nothing is coming. Not a thought, not a quip, not a witty comment…nothing.
You shut your mouth as drool begins to drip out of the corner.
He laughs, swiping the bit off with his thumb.
"I'm glad you're coming to terms with something, my dear. It's only I who can truly see you. Knows what you want. Knows what you like. I'm still the man for you," he goes on, "And I don't plan to be anything other than that for you. You are mine as much as I am yours. Believe it or not, you have vexed me in a way I can never take back. I am so enchanted by you, and I have never once uttered such things out loud. I am usually… somewhat in control of what I allow others to see. But with you, I don't understand. I am… different. I feel different. Maybe not better, but I change around you."
Are you in some kind of fever dream or is Geto spilling his guts out to you for once in his life? And especially for once in the entire duration of you knowing him and falling for him. He's spilling his guts out. To you. He's trying to make amends. For you. He's trying. At all.
Because of you.
His finger traces along the column of your throat, stopping above your collarbone. "I cannot let go of you. You are everything, darling. I just hate to see that I have hurt you--even if I didn't want to. It doesn't matter. We can make this work. But you have to try to find it in you to trust me again. Even a sliver of it is enough for now. Plant the seed, and over time, it'll bloom into something glorious."
"I…"
He pushes his pointer finger against your lips. Shushing you in a second. "Let's not waste your breath any longer. Let's rest for now. How we decide to move on with this is an issue for our future selves. Right now, I just want you to stay. Can you do that for me?"
Numbly, you nod. Rather than another night of physical intimate bliss, he spoons you like you're a frail, fragile scared kitten, covering the two of you in the large comforter. For once, he brings up something you can't logic your way out of, and you're still grappling with that as sleep takes you.
Sure, you'll agree to his terms: this is a problem for a future you, but not now.
