Gojo x reader (angst? fluff?) synopsis- he couldn't make it to another date.
______________________________________________________________
marks of tears on your face, eyes still stinging. you should have guessed that this would happen. you almost expected him to not show up, given this field of work. but, somehow it still felt bitter.
heavy breaths against your pillow, also stained with tears. you had gave up waiting and changed into your pajamas.
he was supposed to come home by evening, and you would go out, after a few exhausting weeks. he'd promised. he'd promised a lot of things actually, which was how you knew what to expect.
you heard someone enter the house. you didn't want it. you didn't want any of his apologies. his hugs. anything from him. not at the moment, atleast.
you felt the door of your shared bedroom open. you tried to calm your breathing, act like you were asleep. "hey, are you awake?" you heard him whisper. you didn't reply. "c'mon, I know you aren't asleep." he tried. no response.
"I really don't know how to start explaining. I know I messed up again. I have no words for myself." he tried to apologize. his voice had a sort of urgency and rush, the kind that played when he was worried.
"you could always try shutting up" your voice came out just as harsh as you meant it to be. your voice was audibly breaking.
"please, love. you know that if I had a choice, I would never skip on you." he was hesitant to touch you. pain seeped through his deep voice.
"Satoru. I understand the given the field of work we have unexpected emergencies. But, I'm still angry." you finally turned around to see him. his eyes were glazed.
he squeezed your hand. a look on his face suggesting that he wanted to give you more. he held eye contact for a few seconds before hesitantly leaned over to gently peck your lips.
after a few long seconds of holding his eyes, you turned over. maybe it'd be better tomorrow.
