HUSBAND TACTICS #1: TAKE THE LEAP!
taught by: sato gojo
âyouâre partners with y/n?! thatâs your sign to lock in, man. stop playing safe and take the fucking leap.â
ΣΧ
âi think we should name the baby ânagito komaeda.ââ
âi think youâve lost your damn mind.â
in the common room of the sigma chi frathouse, geto suguru has his legs spread lazily & his back against the old couch. heâs scrolling through his phone with bleary eyes as sato & sukuna debate a name for their projectâs fake baby. sato gojo is scribbling names in red on the whiteboard. ryomen sukuna is taking up half the space on the living room couch.
âsukuna the second,â sukuna says with a gulp of his cola. he sets the can down with a thud & crosses his feet over the wooden coffee table, leaning back into suguruâs space. âitâs the only respectable option. suguru, what do you think?â
geto suguru thinks that sukuna hasnât showered today.
he also thinks his privacy screen is his greatest investment. ryomen sukuna has his cheek smushed against suguruâs shoulder and his brown eyes blinking up at him, but he doesnât notice that geto is scrolling through your instagram posts, staring at pictures where you look too pretty to be real with a tight jaw & stifled heartbeat. sukuna flicks his temple. âhelloo. earth to suguru?â
suguruâs silver piercings are glistening in the heat. he blinks once, twiceâmemorizes the photo on his screen where youâre grinning while hugging a plush bear bigger than your headâ& clicks his phone off with a sigh. his head rolls back in defeat.
ây/n is my project partner.â
the room goes silent.
gojo sato freezes against the whiteboard, marker still in hand. sukuna has leaned away from suguru, eyes wide, as if suguru has just admitted to not showering this morning. the two boys stare at suguru. then at each other, then back to suguru again.
âouuuu shii,â they drawl simultaneously.
âplease donât start this nonsenseâŠâ
âsuguru, this is huge!â sato lets his marker fall to the floor, and runs to crouch in front of geto, elbows on suguruâs knees. âthink about it, man. you and the girl of your dreams. partnered up to play husband nâ wife and take care of a plastic baby.â
suguru bites his cheek, neck hot. âitâs just a project.â
âno, itâs an opportunity,â sukuna corrects. âthis is the girl who calls you bestie even when you look at her like you wanna eat her alive.â he snaps his fingers. âthis is your chance, idiot. to show her youâre husband material. you have an excuse to call her wifey, for fuckâs sake.â
suguruâs phone is tight in his palm. his thumb is still tracing the line of your smile in the image he was staring at before he clicked his phone off.
âshe thinks iâm her friend,â suguru murmurs, voice half-gone as he slips his phone into his pocket. âsheâs comfortable with me. iâm not gonna ruin that by acting like a feral dog.â
âyouâre already feral, idiot. yâthink i didnât see you staring at her IG photos like a creep?â
geto blinks. âhow did youââ
ânot important!â sato interrupts, slapping suguruâs thigh. he rests his chin on suguruâs knee, blue eyes glimmering in the light. âwhatâs important is, you have an opportunity. sheâs already comfortable with youâyou just have to take it further. call her sweetheart. baby. wife. see if she doesnât stop you. take the leap, suguru.â
âtake the leap,â sukuna grins.
take the leap. but the leap is a jump with no safety net. geto suguru knows whatâs at stake. he knows if he ever let himself get too greedyâtoo carried awayâhe risks losing the friday mornings spent at the library with your head against his shoulder while you pretend to read from a book. he risks your voice calling his name across campus, and the way you hug his arm when you havenât seen him in days, and the way you tug the piercing on his lip with a playful smile when you want his attention. geto suguru knows better than to risk it. he knows not to take the leap.
but he nods, lips tight as he reaches for his car keys on the table. âiâll take the leap.â
âletâs go, daddy geto!â sato roars, dapping sukuna up. the boys watch with stupid grins as geto shoves things in his pockets. geto glances at the time: 5PM. âiâm going to her place now, we agreed to meet up.â
sukuna clutches his heart, then waves. âgo get your wifey, asshole.â
suguru doesnât look back. itâs time to fucking leap.
# SHOW TIME !
âsuguruu, stop acting responsible and come cuddle me.â
ah, youâre such a fucking bother.
itâs sometime after six and geto suguru is in your bedroom with his shirt tossed somewhere on the floor and his silver chain cold against his chest. heâs putting together the plastic baby crib in preparation for the projectâs official start on monday, and trying very fucking hard to ignore the fact that youâre all sprawled out on your bed behind him: hair fanned out, pillow to your chest, and whining his name because who are you if not a tease?
âyouâre such a bad husband,â you mumble wistfully. âleaving your wife all alone on her bed like thisâŠâ
god.
getoâs throat bobs. thereâs blood in his throat but his eyes skim the instructions with hazy focus. lord knows he wants nothing more than to press you into the covers and kiss you till youâre laughing his name and you canât fucking breathe, but he knows the minute he pads over there youâll laugh in his face.
his mouth dries.
âsomeone has to build the crib, angel,â he murmurs. it comes out lower than he intended, but whateverâit came out regardless. pet name number one, okay. âunless you want our fake baby sleeping on the rug?â
âi want my fake husband,â you hug your pillow tighter, and geto can hear the pout in your voice. your eyes are still on the ceiling, and geto doesnât miss the fact that you donât comment on the pet name. perhaps you didnât hear it. perhaps you just donât care. âand the baby is plastic,â you grumble. âit doesnât care if it sleeps on a mattress or a floor.â
he hums. âbet it doesnât complain as much either.â
âhey!â you gasp, chucking your pillow at him with a laugh. getoâs lip twitches in a smile. he rubs the back of his head, sweeping away the black strands falling in his face. he turns to glance at you, and then he wishes he didnât, because youâre staring back at him with the brightest eyes heâs ever seen.
he bites his cheek. and then he pads over to you.
you watch, starry eyed, as geto lets the instruction manual glide to the floor. he presses a knee into the mattress, leg swinging over your thighs, bed dipping underneath his weight. his hair tickles your jaw and his chain dangles in front of you and geto suguru smells like dogwood and something too warm to have a name.
you blink up at him. âHi.â
âHi,â he murmurs. âyou look cute like this.â
he shouldnât say that, he knows he shouldnât, but youâre already curling your hand around his necklace and letting your thighs squeeze underneath him. and getoâs eyes rake down your bodyâjust once, just a little, because he knows better than to leap that fucking far. so he bites his lip.
âi always look cute..â you mumble, lashes fluttering and voice fading underneath him.
âmm, but you look extra cute today,â he mutters, âlike a real life mommy.â
you tug his necklace, grin cheeky. âgeto suguru. are you trying to seduce me?â
âno,â he murmurs, and his voice is too low and the words come too fast. âiâm being a good husband. taking care of my wifeâs needs before she even asks.â
heâs still propped up over you, bare pecs heaving & chain glinting too close to your face. the heat of his body pricks at your skin. you tug him closer by the chain: âand what needs do i have?â
âattention,â he murmurs, thumb grazing your cheek. âyou've been whining since I got here. wanted me to stop working. wanted me to come cuddle you.â
âi was only joking..â you mumble, slightly shy. and geto wishes you wouldnât say that. wishes he didnât know that already.
but heâs a patient man. and how can he be upset when you look so pretty underneath him?
âi know,â he murmurs, voice warm, half-lidded eyes boring into yours. âiâm sorry. am i making you uncomfortable?â
he says heâs sorry but his thumb still grazes your cheek, because he canât not. you lean into him reflexively, and then you blink.
âwhatâ? no, no. itâs justââ your brows furrow, and you frown in that way that makes geto want to kiss it off. âitâs just⊠youâre so good at this, geto!â
his thumb pauses over your cheek. âwhat?â
âthis husband thing!â you grin up at him, cheeks flushed. âyou made me feel all hot and funny inside. your future wife is gonna be so lucky.â
geto blinks. you keep going.
âyou were so hot,â you cup his cheek with a palm, and getoâs jaw is slack. âand youâre so responsible setting up the baby stuff. whoever you date and marry is gonna be so lucky. in a way this is perfect practice, isnât it?â
his jaw tightens. âyeah, practice.â
he doesnât say youâre the only girl heâs ever wanted, the only girl heâll ever want, that last summer when you fell asleep on his couch with his hoodie on your shoulders he thought about you with his last name; or that every time you swat his chest and laugh away his efforts his heart cracks a little in his chest. he doesnât tell you heâs only a man and his heart canât take much more much longer.
but he squeezes your hip. bites your neck so you giggle and swat him away. rolls off you and pretends his chain isnât still warm from your grip.
geto suguru pads away to kneel by the cribâs side. âis my wife gonna keep whining, or is she gonna help me fix this?â
SATOâS REMARK : TOUGH LUCK. BUT KEEP AT IT, BROTHER!
HUSBAND TACTICS #2: GET DOMESTIC !
taught by: toji zenin
âwanna woo her? take her on a family-esque activity. thatâll show her youâre husband material.â
ΣΧ
sigma chiâs frathouse kitchen is two bottles of bourbon & cranberry jam left open on the countertop. in the kitchen suguru geto is there, a hyper-realistic plastic baby on his hip as toji scribbles grocery items in handwriting geto will have to pretend to understand.
âhereâs everything,â toji grumbles, clicking his pen and passing the note to suguru. getoâs face scrunches immediately, piercings glimmering as he squints his eyes in a desperate attempt to read the list. âhow the hell is your handwriting worse than sukunaâs?â
âyouâll figure it out. itâs for meg,â toji answers, bored, drumming his pen against the sticky counter. âand some of the organic stuff my girl likes. iâll be back late today, so i need you to drop it off at my place.â
suguru shifts the doll over his chest, taking one last look at the sorry note before stuffing it in his pocket. âare you taking meg with you today?â
âno, heâs home with the babysitter,â toji grunts, slipping his hands into his skinny jean pockets to hide the fake ice on his wrist. ânew jobâs paying good, so iâm taking the missus out on a date.â
âaww,â suguru softens, smile tugging at his lips. heâs pleased to see toji doing better, to say the least. heâs engaged to a pretty, rich lady now; working hard as a ghost writer for drake, all while being a good young father to meg. he pats the dollâs head absentmindedly. âthatâs cute. what are you planning?â
âluxury shopping date,â toji mumbles.
âreally?â suguru tilts his head. âwhere are you going?â
âshoppers drug mart.â
geto doesnât comment.
âyou should take that girl with you,â toji says, hands still in his pockets. âtake her nâ your plastic doll grocery shopping. itâs good domestic practice. get her some expensive strawberries and see if she doesnât fall head over heels.â
suguru bites his lip, phone already heavy in his pocket.
canât hurt to try, right ?
# SHOW TIME !
suguru wishes you wouldnât do this to him.
wishes you wouldnât look all cute standing by the storeâs glass doors, lashes fluttering as you blink around trying to find him. he should raise his hand, text you heâs just two aisles over and you should move before the lady behind gets mad at you for blocking the entrance. instead he watches with a fond smile as you frown and fumble to grab your phone from your purse.
he sighs, walking over to stand behind you with the fake baby in his arms. your eyes are still on your phone as your thumbs tap frantically, typing a message to send to his contact: âSUGURU. where are u???â
his lip twitches. heâs leaning so close over your shoulder that he can smell your shampoo, and your hair is tickling his nose, but you still donât notice. so cute. geto thinks youâre so cute.
he hums into your neck. âwho are we texting?â
âsuguru!â you gasp, whipping around at the sound of his voice. heâs looking down at you with those half-lidded eyes, teasing smile, dark sweater sleeves rolled up to reveal his forearms. you frown at him. âyou scared me! donât you know you shouldnât sneak up on vulnerable young women?!â
suguru blinks. âwhat?â
âyou heard me,â you grumble, fake pout on your lips as you lean down to the plastic doll in his arms. âhi, lafayette. daddyâs being mean to mommy again.â
âi still canât believe you named our baby after a revolutionary leader.â geto mutters.
âheâs my fave in hamilton,â you hum, slipping lafayette into your arms. âshall we get shopping?â
ââ
in getoâs shopping cart, thereâs five shades of lipgloss, a bag of plantain chips, and four other items that are not on the shopping list.
geto suguru needs to start saying no. but itâs hard to deny you when you look up at him with those pretty eyes, batting your lashes all sweet in that way that makes his chest hurt. so he pushes the cart, resigned, watching the sway of your hips as you balance lafayette on your side and coo silly things to him like heâs a real human child. he shakes his head, bites his lip. geto suguru is utterly fucked.
âsuguru! look at this!â
he shouldnât look. because itâs just going to be another item youâll seduce him into buying, but he looks anyways. youâre pointing at a box of dinosaur cerealâa clear off-brand version of froot loops. âlafayette would love this. can we get it for him?â
he pads around the cart to get a better look. âlafayette canât eat cereal.â
âi meant megumi,â you coo, running a hand down his pecs. âhe likes dinosaurs. heâll love this.â
âno, he likes gummy worms,â but geto suguru is already distracted by your hand stroking his chest. his lip twitches, âyou want this for yourself, donât you?â
âcaught me,â you flash him your sweetest smile, squeezing his pec before setting lafayette in the cart. geto watches as you lean up to the top shelf, skirt riding up your thighs as you reach for the box of cereal. his eyes drop. but then his neck heats and he quickly looks away.
âsuguruu,â you frown, still reaching. âhelp me.â
suguru lets out a rough breath. he shouldnât help, but he always willâwhat else can he do when you call his name like that?
he steps behind you, chest pressing against your back, arm reaching up and caging you in the process. your breathing hitches. suguru doesnât miss it.
âsuguru,â
âhm?â
âwhat are you doing?â
your voice comes out breathy, and suguru has to pretend he doesnât like the way you sound or how youâre staring up at him with big eyes. he hums coolly. âiâm helping my wife.â
âoh,â your lashes flutter as he reaches to tug down your skirt. his knuckles brush your thigh & you glance down at his arm snaking around your hips before mustering up a smile.
you tease, âsuch a good husband, protecting my modesty.â
âmm,â he murmurs, âthe best.â
your mouth opens slightly, but no words come out. geto watches your lashes flutterâshy? nervous?âas your hand curls around his bicep to steady yourself. your palm squeezes his arm. he lets his hand dip to squeeze your inner thigh, and prays you donât hear his breathing hitch.
âdo good husbands usually grope their wives..?â you murmur, and geto thinks youâre teasing, but your lashes are low and your voice is so small and god he wants to kiss you so badly.
âdonât think so,â he mutters. âam i bad?â
âso bad,â you breathe. and your breath is hot & heâs leaning so close he can feel it on his lips. you squeeze his arm, eyes boring into his, and you really need to fucking stop before he leans down and kisses you. âbut i donât mind.â
god. youâre gonna fucking kill him. geto parts his lips to speak but you get your words out first.
âso,â you beam up at him, âthe cereal?â
oh. the cereal.
fuck you and the cereal.
he doesnât mean that, though. his jaw tightens as he lifts the box and drops it into the cart. his hands shove in his pockets, and geto suguru can only blink away the irritation burning in his eyes.
âthanks, sugu,â you lift lafayette into your arms. heâs gripping the cart handle right now, trying to ignore the fact that youâre smiling up at him and cursing himself because even now he thinks you are so beautiful.
âwell then,â you chirp, grin sweet, âback to shopping!â
TOJIâS REMARK : SHE DONâT WANT YOUR ASS đ€Šđżââïž
HUSBAND TACTICS #3: GET SMOOTHER.
taught by: toru gojo
âyour problem is that everything you do maintains plausible deniability. i think itâs time you claimed her in a way she canât deny.â
ΣΧ
the good news is, even though geto ended up spending $200 on items not on tojiâs list, the plantain chips you roped him into getting were really good. the bad news is, sato gojo is lying here on his lap, forcing geto to feed him said chips while gaming on sukunaâs nintendo switch.
âsugu, i want one,â -> geto feeds sato a chip. chew, swallow. âi canât believe you embarrassed yourself like that.â
suguruâs eye twitches. âno more chips for you.â
theyâre on the bed in toruâs room, and toru gojo sighs before slipping his headphones off at his desk. âsorry, but you guys are getting crumbs on my bed.â
sato laughs. âas if sukuna doesnât jerk off in here every other day.â
âthat was before he finished therapy,â toru mumbles in response, cheeks flushed in dismay. god bless geto for enrolling sukuna in therapy for his exhibitionist kink, despite sukunaâs wishes. toru takes his glasses off, runs a hand through his hair. âsuguru, whatâs this about you and y/n?â
âevery time suguru tries something with her, she laughs him off,â sato snitches. he flashes geto a clumsy grin, smile totally innocent. âsugu, i want one.â
geto shoves him off his lap.
âmaybe youâre not obvious enough,â toru plays with the stem of his glasses. âyou guys are super close. even if youâre touching her, she might not take it seriously because sheâs used to touchy friendships.â
âyeah!â sato agrees, fist pumped up, face flat on the floor. âmy thoughts exactly, twin brother.â
âshut up.â geto and toru say simultaneously.
âanyway,â toru continues. âmaybe get bolder. do something she canât pass off as âjust friendsâ.â
geto stares at the chips in his lap. âjust friends, huh?â
#SHOW TIME!
geto leans by the kitchen door. âhi, mommy. whatâre you doing?â
suguruâs over at your house for dinner. heâs just put lafayette to sleep in his crib, and he has his hands in his pockets as he pads over to you, sweatpants low on his hips. his arms cage you by the stove. âyou smell good,â he mutters.
you ignore him. âiâm making dinner!â you beam, turning to face him.
geto canât even tell what youâre showing him. in your hands is a charred mess, and geto can only pray the squiggly thing on the plate is spaghetti and not something else. his brows furrow in amused confusion as you beam up at him, lashes fluttering.
he cocks his head. âis this a burnt offering?â
ârude,â you swat his chest, and geto only smiles, eyes tracking the way your hair falls over your shoulders. you mutter curses as you shift the plate away, staring at the pot in dismay. âi wanted to cook for you.â you grumble.
his lip twitches. âlike a real life wife?â
âyeah,â you turn to him, lips in a pout as you play with the chain on his chest. âbut it didnât work out. can you believe it?â
âi believe it,â he hums, but in reality heâs trying not to laugh, or rather, avoiding thinking about how glossy your lips look when you pout. his palms find your waist, âneed your hubby to help?â
you smile up at him, âif heâd be so kind.â
geto lifts you by the hips before you can think better of it. you yelp as he sets you down on the counter, gripping him in a panicked hug. âsuguru! you canât just do that!â
he smiles, big. âdo what?â
âlift me! and without warning!â youâre still hugging his neck tight, heart racing against his collarbone. he laughs, face in your hair to muffle the sound. his hands are splayed on your back, anchoring you against him.
âstop laughing at me,â you frown, and geto pulls back. he still has that lazy smile on his lips. âiâm not laughing,â
âyes you are,â you cup his face, smushing his cheeks in your palms. âlook at your smile. itâs mocking.â
âadoring,â he mutters, gaze reverent.
âlying,â you pout, frown deep.
geto doesnât argue. he only watches, eyes half-lidded, as you lift a palm from his cheek to card through his hair, stroking softly. youâre still pouting, still pretty. his thumb presses into your spine.
âiâve never lied to you in my life,â he murmurs.
âyeah?â youâre still raking his hair, eyes never meeting his own. âthen were you laughing at me just now?â
âno, mommy.â
âsee?â you cock your head. âliar.â
he lets out a long, shuddering breath, hands sliding from your back to your waist, then down to squeeze your hips. youâre still stroking his hair, unbothered. no idea that youâve got him crumbling beneath you.
âyou feel so soft,â he murmurs before he can think better of it.
you tilt your head. âmy hips?â
âand your waist, and your thighs,â he drawls, and heâs not even thinking straight anymore. âeverywhere.â
you stare at him, brows knit, hand pausing in his hair. âsuguru,â
âyeah, baby?â
âyouâre being bad again.â
he lets out a strangled breath. heâs staring at your lips, he has been for a while now, and his gaze is bleary & eyes half-lidded. âsorry mommy,â he mumbles, âare you uncomfortable?â
âno?â
âthen iâm gonna kiss you now.â
âsuguââ
and he does. he pauses just slightlyâjust enough to let you pull away if you donât want this, if you donât want himâbut you donât so geto presses his lips to your own. his first thought is gloss. your lips are so glossy; strawberry sweet & sugary fake. he lets his tongue slip out to lick your mouth, before cocking his head to kiss you deeper. you squeak, moaning into his mouth, kissing him back as he presses you into him. your thighs squeeze around his waist and geto slips a groan past your lips.
âso good,â he chases your lips when you pull away to breathe, âtaste so good, pretty,â
you let him press sloppy kisses to your jaw, hands still in his hair.
but geto doesnât notice how you freeze underneath him.
TORUâS REMARK: MY ADVICE WORKED?! THIS IS WHY IâM THE BETTER TWIN!! :)
HUSBAND TACTICS #4: GO GET YOUR WIFE !
taught by: ryomen sukuna
âgood progress, bud. now all you gotta do? maintain the pace. keep showing her youâre the man now.â
ΣΧ
in sigma chiâs living room, ryomen sukuna is strapped to an armchair as sato hooks him up to a birth simulator.
idiots, the both of them. it started with sukuna saying that taking care of their plastic baby isnât much work after all, and so motherhood canât be that bad, and giving birth must not be that bad either. sato, ever the feminist, decided to challenge him on that. now itâs a weekday evening and sato is pressing electric pads to sukunaâs belly with his tongue in his cheek. sukuna the second (their plastic babyâsukuna won the argument it seems) is crying somewhere in the distance.
ânice work, daddy geto,â sukuna hums, shifting so sato can press another pad to his belly. âyouâve gotten the girl.â
geto has. so why doesnât he feel like it?
you kissed him back. kissed him again. in fact, heâd say he had your lips for dinner. but the texts he sent you this morning are still unread: did you sleep well? can we talk?
geto shakes his head, relaxing into the sofa with his legs spread out as he watches sato fumble with the machine. ânow all you gotta do is keep up the good work,â sukuna mumbles. âeasy-peasy.â
âi feel like somethingâs wrong,â geto plays with his necklace. âbut iâm not sure what it is, exactly.â
ânothingâs wrong, dumbass,â sukuna squints, watching sato frown at the remote. âyouâre just not used to being forward. months of holding back will do that to ya. what you need to do now? ramp it up. tell her you wanna put a baby in her or something. girls love that shit.â
âoh, i agree with that. itâs like saying sheâs wifey type.â
âyou get me, sato.â
sato grins. then he presses a button on the remote and sukuna screams.
âjesus christ of nazareth!â sukuna roars, jerking in the chair. âfuckâ! turn this shit off! sato!â
sato watches him jerk with his hands on his hips, lips bent in a clumsy smile. âwhat? i canât hear you over your screaming!â
suguru eyes his frat brothers, both sukunaâsâand sukuna the secondâsâcries roaring in his ears. heâs still not sure why this is even happening, but heâs long concluded both his frat brothers were born with a brain. he sighs, burying his face in his hands.
he really needs to fucking see you.
#SHOW TIME !
geto wasnât sure youâd want to see him.
but youâd already planned to meet up today; long before he kissed you on the countertop, long before he sent you six messages & deleted them all when he received no response. it would be wiser to stay home but he shows up anyway, because heâs a coward whoâs trying not to be, and he hasnât eaten anything in days because everything in the sigma chi kitchen suddenly tastes like your lips.
you greeted him with a smile on your face.
lafayette on your hip, pretty smile as you beckoned him in. said you were just about making lunch. asked him to go handle it in the kitchen because obviously you donât want to see his face.
geto shakes his head, stares at the water running off his hands in the sink. he has to think positive.
âlafayette, baby, please donât cry,â your voice comes from the living room. âmommyâs trying so hardâoh my god. i swear iâm gonna take out your batteries!â
geto laughs through his nose before he can think better of it.
he wipes his hands, pads over to the doorframe to watch you fuss over lafayette in the living room. youâre bouncing the plastic robot in your hands, trying to get it to stop its automated wailing. âshhh. want me to sing you a song, baby? you like songs from hamilton, right? okay, okay. why do you cry like youâre running out of timeââ
lafayette screams. geto falls in love.
well he was already in love, but somehow his heart has gone sticky in his chest. itâs silly, isnât it? but getoâs thought about it a lot. your laugh in the kitchen on sunday mornings, your contact saved with his last name, you waking him up at 3am for some ridiculous craving; and heâd get up to retrieve it, of course. because geto suguru would go to the ends of the earth for you if youâd allow it.
is it weird to think of domestic life with someone you arenât even dating?
probably. but then he thinks about your thighs squeezing his waist on the kitchen counter, your pretty moans in his mouth, your hands in his hairâand god. god god god. geto suguru has never wanted something so badly.
so he doesnât think too much before padding over to join you in the living room, arms wrapping around your hips. âhey.â
you tense, just a little, just enough that geto doesnât notice, then relax into him just slightly. âhi. are you being bad again?â
he can hear the smile in your voice, but your usual playfulness isnât as strong. âmaybe. you look cute, bouncing our baby like that.â
you force a smile, eyes dropping to lafayette wailing in your arms. âwellââ
âyouâd make such a pretty mommy,â geto breathes, and even heâs not sure what heâs saying. all he knows is youâre warm and pretty and in his arms and itâs all heâs ever wanted, all heâll ever want.
you donât respond, and getoâs in his feelings now, so his mouth keeps moving: âi think about it a lot,â he murmurs. âmornings with you. you burning the eggs because youâve never been a good cook.â his palm shifts to your belly. âand iâll eat them anyways.â
âsuguru,â
âand youâd get mad at me for eating them,â he breathes, collapsing into your neck. âtell me you donât need my sympathy and frown up at me while bouncing our baby on your hip. and then youâd kiss me because you secretly find it sweet of me.â he breathes. âi think about it a lot.â
âyouâd make such a pretty wife, such a pretty mommy,â geto breathes. and your neck is so warm, and his lips are ghosting over it, and as his palm glides over your belly his dizzy mind flashes back to sukunaâs words: girls love feeling like theyâre wifey!
so he kisses your neck. âcanât wait to see you round with my baby.â
if you were tense before, youâre frozen now.
âsuguru.â
âhm?â
âiâm uncomfortable.â
geto freezes.
you step out of his hold, lafayette to your chest, pretty eyes looking up at his. but youâre not looking at him with your usual fondness. your eyes are boredâunimpressedâsomething getoâs hazy mind canât seem to name. your lips are tight. âi think you should take lafayette for the weekend.â
ây/nââ
âand donât contact me,â you snap, irritated. âdonât call, text, nothing. i justââ you bite your lip, âyou need to leave, geto.â
not suguru, geto. okay. okay.
geto leaves with lafayette in his arms. his heart is still in your living room.
SUKUNAâS REMARK : WHO TOLD YOU TO SAY THAT?!
HUSBAND TACTICS #5: DIVORCE COURT !
taught by: nanami kento
âyouâve been leading with actions instead of words. are you really surprised?â
ΣΧ
is it so bad to be forward?
geto has his head on the steering wheel & his heart in his throat. lafayette is crying in the backseat but geto doesnât care, doesnât care to rip out the batteries or at least sing the doll to sleep. instead he grips the steering so hard his knuckles turn white.
canât wait to see you round with my baby.
why did he say that? he wants to blame it on sukuna but he canât. geto knows itâs all on him, of course. he let himself get too love drunk, too hope drunk, too drunk on a future that will never exist. he thought about sato and sukuna who donât think before they talk and still manage to get the girl. but life has never let him have anything easy, and with you in his arms he managed to forget that. now the only girl heâs ever wanted thinks he sees her as just flesh, and geto is a coward so he doesnât plan to redeem himself.
itâs best to let you go.
âdo you intend to drive?â
nanamiâs voice is flat beside him. itâs more of a bored comment than a question, and geto lifts his head up slow. nanami kento is beach-blond hair & pressed on clothes and a bored look that never seems to leave his face. he stares at geto. geto stares back.
âiâm going through a crisis.â
âi observed. should i get toji to drive me instead?â
âhave a heart, kenny,â geto slumps against the driverâs seat. nanamiâs license is on a three-day suspension for being slightly tipsy while driving, and itâs unusual for kento, but we all have our problems. geto reaches for a cigar in the glove box. nanami smacks his hand away.
âthis is about y/n, correct? sato told me all about it.â
of course he didâwhat a snitch.
geto rests his head on the wheel, careful not to let the horn sound. âis it my turn for some advice?â
âi suppose,â nanami pushes up his glasses. âdid you ever try speaking english?â
geto blinks. âenglish?â
âthe others advised you to be forward, correct?â nanami starts. âtouch her, kiss her, all of it. but did you ever speak english? tell her that you liked her? wanted her?â
geto blinks. but kentoâs not done.
âi heard about what happened most recently, sukuna told me all about it,â nanami sighs. âtelling a woman sheâd make a pretty mom. telling her you canât wait to see her round with your baby.â kento scoffs. âyou have your domestic fantasies, geto. but do you know how terrifying that is to a woman who you havenât even told âi love youâ?â
ah. geto knew heâd been missing something.
heâs always been a coward. at thirteen, he pierced his own ears with a ballpoint pen and hid the bleeding from his parents for weeks. at seventeen, he got his first tattoo, and charred it off with cigarette butts until all that remained was the outline. at nineteen, he kissed a girl and blocked her the next day. at twenty-two, he fucked up his chances with the only woman heâs ever loved. geto suguru has never known how to handle wanting something. he either destroys it or runs far, far away.
âso what do i do now?â geto asks, brows knit. âshe told me to stay away from her.â
âthen you do exactly that,â nanamiâs already unbuckling his seatbelt. âgive her the space she needs. youâve crowded her for long enough, suguru.â
he has, hasnât he?
âiâll ask toji to give me a lift,â nanami is standing outside the car. âyouâre in no condition to drive.â
nanami slams the door shut. lafayette is still crying in the backseat.
# SHOW TIME !
geto suguru is back in your room again.
not in the way heâd like, not sprawled on your bed or with you curled into his side. heâs sitting diagonally across from you on the mini-table you have laid out, because heâd tried to sit opposite you and caught the way your lip twitched with irritation.
geto is on his best behavior.
the plastic doll is asleep in its crib as you and suguru fill out spreadsheets. logs on feeding times, that sort of thing. he stares at the gleaming columnsâempty. theyâve been empty for an hour now, because geto suguru canât stop his eyes from shifting from his laptop screen to your face.
âfeeding log,â you say flatly. âdid you do the 2PM ?â
âyeah,â he didâhe thinks. everything is blurry.
âno you didnât,â you bite. âiâm literally looking at the column right now. itâs empty. and it shouldnât be.â
getoâs fingers twitch over his keyboard. the spreadsheet in front of him is empty, but the previous oneâthe one youâre looking atâshouldnât be. he remembers logging it yesterday with his back bent over the kitchen island, eyes clouded over, thinking, wondering if he should send you a message.
he croaks, âi did fill it in. check theââ
âyou didnât,â you snap, and getoâs never had you snap at him before so heâs not sure what to do with that. âiâm literally looking at it right now. can you please take this seriously?â
âokay,â he swallows.
you turn back to your laptop, irritated. geto fills out the spreadsheet in front of him. he wonât give you reason to be upset with him any longer.
âââ
the second time geto sees you after the incident, itâs at the local library.
youâre already done with todayâs work, and the walk back to the residences is long & winding. geto suguru knows his place. he has his eyes down on the pavement, wind flinging his hair in his face, three feet behind you because youâd eye him if he got any closer.
youâre shivering.
and geto noticed it three minutes ago, to be honest. noticed how your shoulders hugged together, how you shoved your hands into your pockets. he should give you his jacket. youâre cold, and he doesnât want you getting sick, and he doesnât want you to snap at him or shoot him down but youâre cold and youâre beautiful and geto suguru is calling your name before he can think any better of it.
ây/nâhere.â
he holds out his jacket. you turn back to look at the material, and then back at him.
âi donât want it.â
he should stop. âyouâre freezing. i donât want you to catch aââ
âiâd rather freeze.â you deadpan. âcan you not speak to me?â
geto bites his lip. he stops himself before he can say okay.
ââ
in the libraryâs study room, geto suguru has his head on his keyboard and eyes staring at the glass door.
his phone chimes, but he doesnât check the message because he knows itâs just team snapchat. but then it chimes again, and geto reaches for his phone even though he knows thereâs no point.
â
y/n :)
where are you
i have your location.
we need to work on the project
â
geto scramblesâactually scrambles, he accidentally knocks over the chair behind himâand then he breathes. wipes his face with his hoodie sleeves. breathes again.
when you walk in, you donât say hi.
you sit diagonally across again, and open up your laptop. you look pretty today. hair loose over your shoulders, cheeks flushed from the weather, lashes fluttering in the light. and your lips are glossy again, like they were in the supermarket, like they were on the kitchen counterâand oh god. geto needs to stop staring.
but he doesnât. he watches, mouth slightly agape, as your nails click at your keyboard. he can tell youâre upset or irritated, and he thinksâno, knows itâs because of him, and he really needs to get this work done so you wonât get sad and snap at him again. he doesnât want to be in trouble. he doesnât know what to do when you get like that. so he turns his eyes to his laptop. but somehow, they drift back to your face again.
âcan you stop fucking staring at me?â
âsorryââ he flinches. âiâm sorry, iâll look away.â
thereâs a lump in his throat. heâs looking at the screen but he canât quite see it, and the numbers and columns have mixed together and swollen up on the page.
but you arenât done.
âseriously, what is your problem?â you snap, irritated. âwe have a project to do. and youâve been letting your stupid feelings get in the way of it all!â
he wants to say heâs sorry again, and that his feelings arenât stupid but heâs sorry, and itâs all heâll ever be, but instead his voice comes out as a croak. âiâm trying.â
you stare at him in disbelief. his fingers are shaking under the table. has he always been this jumpy?
âyou need to try harder,â you snarl. âor what? too busy thinking about marrying me? having me round with your baby?â he shrinks. âwhat the fuck, geto?â
he doesnât know how to explain that that day in the living room he wasnât thinking of actually giving you a baby, at least not right now. he doesnât know how to explain that when he looks at you he thinks of forever, he wants forever, and ever since starting this project âforeverâ has looked like wedding bells and sunday mornings and grocery runs with a mini-you in the cart. he doesnât know how to say he wants you to be his, your last name, your everything, and itâs sick and twisted and too much too fast but geto suguru has never been able to want in increments.
so he shrinks. stares at his keyboard. you snap, âsay something!â
âiâm sorry,â he croaks, eyes on his lap. âi didnât want toâi wasnât trying toââ
âyou scared me!â you snap. âgeto, you scared me. youâve been scaring me! these last few weeksââ you slam your book shut. âtouching me. kissing me. and i donât mindâswear to god i donât. but youâve been acting so weird so suddenly! saying things youâve never said before. is this some kind of twisted roleplay?!â
geto stifles a breath. tries to count in his head so he doesnât breakdown in front of you. he knows that wouldnât be fair. you keep going:
âi donât know what iâm supposed to think,â you grip the table. âmy best friend of how many years gets partnered with me for a project, great! but then he starts kissing me on countertops. standing too close in grocery stores. telling me iâd make a pretty wife and mommy andâitâs weird! i donât know where itâs coming from! heâs never said he likes me in his life, but he canât wait to see me round with his baby?â
youâre sniffling now. âwhat the fuck, geto?â
your shoulders are shaking, and youâve sat back down, and your pretty face is in your hands as you cry. getoâs heart aches. because youâre not supposed to cry because of him. because heâs not supposed to make you uncomfortable, or confused, or upset, and heâs done all of that in the span of a week. and getoâs mouth dries. he wants to pad over and hold you in his arms but he knows he doesnât have the right to fucking do that.
he breathes in, deep.
âiâm sorryâfor moving too fast,â his hands fist. âiâve been in love with you since freshman year. and i tried, i swear i did, to show it. but you always laughed it off. and instead of telling you outright, i just got more and more aggressive with it. i think part of me has always thought youâd never feel the same,â he swallows. âso i thought itâd be safer to show it than say it out loud. but that was only safe for me.â
he bites his lip. youâre still bawling into your hands, small and terrified, and getoâs eyes sting. he canât believe youâre shaking because of him.
âbabyââ he catches himself, âplease donât cry,â
âi hate you,â you sob, âiâm never gonna forgive you ever.â
he swallows. âyou donât have to. but please donât cry,â his hands tighten on his jeans. âi donât know what to do when you cry.â
and itâs the first time getoâs been honest, because he really doesnât know. because youâve never cried because of him, and normally if you ever cried at all heâd drag you into his chest but right now that doesnât feel appropriate.
but he gets up anyways.
takes your hands from your face. and youâre so gorgeous even with tears on your cheeks, eyes glistening wet, lips puffed out & nose flushed from crying. and he wants to hug you so badly, but for now he settles for crouching to your height and wiping the tears from your eyes.
you glare down at him, and he should be scared again but all he can think is that youâre so fucking cute. your nose is all puffy and your eyes slightly red. âyouâre such an idiot.â
âi know.â
âand this is so clichĂ©.â
âi know.â
âand i want you too, but slower.â
âi didnât know that.â
âyou know it now,â you curse. âyouâre an idiot, i swear.â
geto breathes. and then you cup his face, watching the way his eyes glisten with wet. âyou still havenât confessed to me, suguru.â
âi love you,â he says too quickly. âsince freshman year. i think about you too much. youâre always on my mind, and i donât want anyone but you, and i love you so much y/n and iâll love you forever if youâll let meââ
you interrupt him with a kiss.
BONUS !
âi canât believe he said he wants you round with his baby.â
the project is long over, and today youâre on the countertop of the sigma chi kitchen, legs swinging as you gossip with sukuna. he has your plantain chips in his hands, leaning against the counter as he eagerly munches on the snacks.
âi told him to approach you calmly and honestly, yâknow? told him girls love communication,â sukuna clicks his tongue. ânobody listens to me in this household.â
you laugh, âreally? that wouldâve saved him a lot of trouble.â
âright?â sukuna shakes his head, passing you a plantain chip. âheâs got his brain in his ass cheeks, i swear.â
you giggle, and right then, the door swings open. sato gojo bursts in with his arms spread out in glee. âweâre back!â
geto trudges behind him, holding too many shopping bags for one person. sato has already run towards his room, leaving you and sukuna confusedâbut then geto drops the bags to the floor with a thud. he looks up at you. âhey,â
sukuna absentmindedly blocks your head with his own. âyo, man.â
âcan you move your fat fucking head?â geto walks past him, ignoring the gasp sukuna lets out. he brackets you on the counter, forehead slightly sticky with sweat, chain glistening in the afternoon heat.
he murmurs, âhi, baby.â
âhi, handsome,â you cup his face. âback from your date with sato?â
ânot a date,â he mumbles, kissing your palm, then your cheek, then your jaw. âwas getting groceries.â he murmurs. âmissed you so bad, pretty.â
you gigle, squeaking and squirming away as he attacks your face with kisses. he pulls back teasingly, smile smug, before you tug him back in by his chain. sukuna watches calmly, shoving another plantain chip in his mouth. he nods in approval of the flavor.
but he quickly grows bored. âdonât get too comfortable guys. iâll whip out my dick and start stroking right now.â
âwhat...?â
âcan you pretend to be normal?!â
before suguru can strangle sukuna, sato bounces back into the kitchen. his grin is clumsy, cap tilting off his hair, and in his hands is a machine that looks like a mini-tablet and a bunch of wires connected to pads at the ends.
sukunaâs face contorts in horror. âis thatââ
âyup!â sato beams. âitâs time for round two!â
