The soft glow of the morning sun filters through the curtains, casting a gentle light over the room. You stir slightly, adjusting the blanket around your shoulders, and feel the familiar ache of longing. It's a morning like any other, except today, Gojo is visiting. The knock on the door is gentle, yet it echoes through the quiet apartment.
You get up, careful not to wake the baby still sleeping in the crib, and make your way to the door. Opening it, you're greeted by Gojo's bright smile, his signature sunglasses perched on his head, his eyes twinkling with mischief as he carried a bag that smelled delicious: breakfast.
If it was anyone else you would've tried to get yourself together a bit before opening the door, but you've known this man since high-school and didn't really care about what he thought about you anymore.
"Morning, Y/N," he says, stepping inside with a confidence that speaks of years spent together, even if you no longer share a home. "Did you miss me?"
He put the bag of food on the kitchen island.
You roll your eyes playfully but can't suppress the small smile tugging at your lips. "Morning, Satoru. You're early."
He chuckles, a sound that feels like a warm embrace. "Couldn't wait to see my favorite two people."
You lead him to the living room, where he immediately heads over to the crib. He looks down at the sleeping baby, his expression softening in a way that still catches you off guard. "Hey there, little one," he whispers, reaching in to gently pick up the baby.
As he cradles the baby, Gojo looks over at you, his smile turning into that familiar, charming grin. "You know, Y/N, every time I see our little one, I’m reminded of how amazing we were together."
You cross your arms, leaning against the wall. "Satoru, we’ve talked about this."
"I know, I know," he sighs, swaying gently with the baby in his arms. "But can you blame me for trying? Look at what we made together. Don’t you think we owe it to her to try again?"
You shake your head, feeling the familiar mix of frustration and affection. "It's not that simple, and you know it. We have our differences."
He steps closer, his free hand reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. His touch sends a shiver down your spine. "Differences that can be worked out. I mean, come on, have you seen how good we look together? Power couple and all that."
You laugh despite yourself. "You're impossible."
"And you're irresistible," he counters smoothly, his voice dropping to that low, flirtatious tone that always makes your heart race. "Just think about it, Y/N. We could be a family. A real one."
You bite your lip, torn between the past and the possibilities he dangles in front of you. The baby stirs in his arms, letting out a soft whimper. Gojo shifts his attention, his expression tender as he soothes the little one.
"You’re really good with her," you admit, watching him with a mixture of admiration and wistfulness.
"I try," he replies, looking up at you with those piercing blue eyes. "But it would be a lot easier if we were doing this together, under the same roof."
You look away, unable to meet his gaze. "Satoru. We have a lot to work through." In a way, you did agree with him, but it was just a lot that had to go with it.
He steps closer, the baby nestled securely in his arms. "Then let’s work through it. For them, for us. We owe it to ourselves to try."
The sincerity in his voice tugs at your heartstrings. You take a deep breath, trying to steady yourself. "I just... I need time."
"I can give you that," he says softly. "But I’m not giving up on us. On this."
You nod, feeling a glimmer of hope. "Thank you, Satoru."
He leans in, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead. "Anytime, Y/N. Anytime."
The rest of the morning passes in a blur of shared moments and soft laughter. Gojo stays, eating and helping with the baby, his presence a comforting balm to your weary soul, giggling as your daughter tried to eat his sunglasses while he took a million pictures. As he prepared to leave, he pulled you into a tight hug, whispering in your ear, "Think about what I said. We belong together."
You watch him go, your heart heavy with longing and uncertainty. Maybe he's right. Maybe, just maybe, there's a chance for a new beginning. But for now, you take it one day at a time, holding onto the hope that things might just work out.
Another autistic poll because once again I am curious.
I'm autistic and am trying to learn how to drive but it's not going super well. I'm not sure if it's because of motor control issues (mine, not the car's motor lmao), overstimulation, or something else, but either way I think I need to start memorizing my city's bus schedule.
Now I'm curious, is there a correlation between autism and driving ability?
So now I ask (both autistics and allistics!)...
Can/do you drive?
Autistic, can drive and do drive
Autistic, can drive but don't drive
Autistic, can't drive and don't
Autistic, not old enough for this to apply
Allistic, can drive and do drive
Allistic, can drive but don't drive
Allistic, can't drive and don't
Allistic, not old enough for this to apply

A couple of weeks ago I heard an American youtuber say "Germans prefer to drive stick, because they have more control over the car and it gives them a better driving experience"
And I think that's bullshit for 90% of people.
I drive stick because automatic cars are fucking expensive. Like????
So germans and other europeans(TM) (I want to know if there's a difference to other European countries that aren't as known for their cars/roads)
Why do you drive stick (if you have/drive a car)
Because it was cheaper (german)
Because it was cheaper (europeans)
Because I prefer the feeling of driving manually (german)
Because I prefer the feeling of driving manually (europeans)
in germany if you get your drivers' license with an automatic car you're only allowed to drive automatic cars with it so that's probably a big factor for learning to drive stick too
Yes...I am aware....I am german after all :')
How does that pertain to my question tho?
The question isn't if you know how to drive stick but wether you do so out of necessity e.g used manual cars are less expensive than automatics or because of preference. For this poll I was assuming you'd know how to drive both :')
