“just one move, causes a reaction—and that reaction causes a domino effect”
Everyone lives Au, because screw Gege I’m convinced he drinks our tears for water.
Readers pronouns are she/her/they/them
Warnings?: None, besides form Bad grammar? Not proofreading, THIS IS WRITTEN ON MY PHONE (don’t expect much, my phone is small and I give up) goes fast because again I just wrote this out as it’s an idea, can be seen as romantic or maybe platonic? Was written as developing crush.
Characters: Geto, Nanako, Mimiko (kinda mentioned but not? Mainly Geto)
Roughly set when the main cast (Itadori, Megumi etc) are kids, Geto has yet to massacre the village, so around 2007-2009? (I’m too lazy to look it up)
Context: Reader was around during the whole Riko and Time association event—who gets involved, and eventually Reader is transfer from Kyoto High School, and becomes a stability.
Geto had struggled to adjust, when he had no longer been sent on mission with Gojo, filthy curses and the people—They were probably the worse, rude and disrespectful, the sympathy he once had began to deplete quickly…He was Begining to become a shell of a man he once used to be. His eyes burned, with the days of being up, overworked and exhausted.
To him, it was like the world’s colour had began to Grey and deepen, void of what used to be sure Riko was fine, thanks to that Kyoto student, a mishap really…but stroll, he felt himself slowly loosing it.
“Geto…It’s lovely to see you again!”
His head snapped up, as his vision wavered slightly, mostly from his lack of sleep. “(Name)? What are you doing here?” He would have been able to recognise that Uniform anywhere, the same girl from before.
He noticed how she picked up her pace slightly matching with him, holding out a snack for him to take. “I got to many Geto, would you like some?” He was hesitant at first, his entire body freezing up before he let out a bellow of laughter, taking one.
“Redirecting my question are you?”
She suddenly hooked her arm with his, pulling him slightly as she began to walk to the school entrance. “I transferred here! I’ll be with you for a while So make sure you look after me okay?”
Would that have really mattered? He was alone after all.
“Is that so?”
It didn’t take long for the two to bond, she had become his new mission partner after all. Slowly, the missions became more and more bearable, so much more bearable. She made him laugh, and even laughed at his bad jokes.
She remembered, how he said curses taste horrendous, and always carried something so he didn’t have to deal with the aftertaste anymore, before Geto realised it, she was a support he didn’t know he needed.
“I really like your Hair Geto—it’s beautiful”
He paused, never in his life has someone complimented him like that. Especially out of the blue, He knew he had looks, but often being with Satoru Gojo he was overshadowed, and sometimes he’d forget to take care of himself.
“Oh is that so? And why is that?”
His eyes drifted downwards, as her hand interlocked with his, her thumb gently rubbing over his knuckles.
“It reminds me of oil” “HUH?!”
His head snapped around so quickly, he thought he could have broken it. Was she saying his hair was greasy?!
“Yeah! You know like oil on water, Black, and as dark as the night” her other hand raised entangling it with the silky threads of his head. “Beautiful—because when the light shines in it, It’s full of colours, a dramatic rainbow so to speak. Beautiful hues of greens, and purples.”
“You are…weird” “HEY!”
Days, turned into weeks and he hoped he could spend eternity with her.
Perhaps he wasn’t so alone as he thought, he couldn’t help but think as he stared at her, a smile graced his lips. She turned around, hands around her back.
“So this is the village? It stinks!” She said, placing her head on his shoulders, his hand gently lifted flicking her forehead.
“Hey Geto”
“I told you to call me Suguru, and yeah?”
“You know…you can ask for help right? When you’re struggling I mean”
He paused, freezing in his place, his head slowly turning around. “What?” He thought he had hidden his mental health better than that.
“I’m just saying…if you’re ever struggling, then you should ask for help”
“Yeah…I will (Name)…Thank you” her head perched on his shoulder once more, hands wrapping around his.
Then that damn moment arrived.
when the pungent smell hit his nose right away, and acidic taste being left in his mouth straight away.
The Farmilitary of Rot and decay, the mistress of his that was Neglect. He stared wide eyed at the two children that where caged up, as if they where no better then animals.
…perhaps he should slaughter, the people that did this as if they were animals not just them but everyone, the whole damn—
His eyes widened, as he felt a pinching pain in his hand. Her nails digged into his skin, her thumb doing circles around the veins of his wrists.
“We’ll take them off your hands”
She walked forward, the gate opened as she did so…crouching down in front of the two. Her hand raised, as the two flinched expecting a hit.
“It’s alright, let’s get your girls out yeah? I promise I won’t hurt you…neither will Suguru”
It was silent for a moment, Before the blonde child hand held hers, and then (Name) picked them both up.
“Suguru, we’re going” she told him, her voice colder then he had ever heard. “Now”
He looked back, as she began to leave. He could kill them right now, get it over and done. “If you’re struggling then tell someone yeah?” Then her face flashed in his mind…Fuck, God damn it. Why did she have to hold such a stupid place in his heart.
“Wait—You’ll trip!…do you want me to take one?” He was a few steps behind, his pace slower then normal. He really didn’t want to frighten the two girls.
Mimiko and Hanako? He swears that what they said their name was. Yeah, he was sure of it.
“What are you going to do..We’re too young to look after them! We’re just seventeen—“
(Name) tilted her head at him, just like when they first met. “We’re? Suguru it sounds like to me you’ve already decided”
Oh for Fuck sake.
