TIMELESS | SATORU GOJO X READER

101

"Satoru..." his name left your throat in a shaky breath. "I'm sorry. It's my fault everything happened, you don't have to protect me."

Satoru's lips wavered momentarily before shaking it off. Though he wanted to hide his feelings, you could feel them as clear as day.

He blamed himself.

"It's not your fault," Satoru frowned, tilting his head to the side before extending his hand out to you to pull you back up. "He did something to you, right?"

"I- I didn't fight it," you countered, "I didn't say no, I didn't try to run-"

"But did you want it?" Satoru furrowed his brow.

The words left your lips in a mumble. "I wanted to spite you..."

"But did you want it?" He repeated.

In a soft sigh, you shook your head.

"He used an emotionally vulnerable girl to do what he wanted without consequences," Satoru concluded, pressing his lips together. "It's not your fault you were the victim of his desires. Don't beat yourself too much over it, no matter what happens I'm here now. I promise I'll always protect you."

You hated feeling like this... you hated relying on Satoru, but after today you just couldn't help it. At the end of the day, he was the strongest, and as the strongest he carried the weight of everyone's expectations on his shoulders. All you were was just another person to protect.

After a long day, the two sorcerers went out for ice-cream. You protested of course, but it was no use. This was only another thing you were indebted to the strongest for... that was, until the two-scooped ice-cream cone begun to melt in your hands.

Satoru raised his eyebrows in your direction. You knew exactly what this meant. And so with a reluctant sigh, you raised the cone to his lips before he begun to take his share.

"Mmm..." he hummed out, licking some of the excess from his lips. "Y/n-chan good call on the caramel sauce."

You couldn't help but let a soft pink dust your cheeks as your eyes quickly darted away. "Why didn't you get your own?"

"Eh?" Satoru raised his eyebrows. "We got two scoops to share right? You were gonna get one and I was gonna get one, so why not just put them together?"

"B-but it's just..."

Satoru snickered. Of course he snickered! "You're embarrassed to share an icecream with your boyfriend? How cute! God, can you get any cuter Y/n?" Wrapping his arms around your neck, he placed his chin on your head as he pressed your back on his chest. "I love it when you get like this. I can even feel it now with the red string. I know exactly what's going on in that little head of yours!"

"Satoru-!" You gasped, your face reddening once again. This only amused him further. "We have to get rid of the curse! What if someone sees it? We can't wear it forever, you know!"

"Why not?" Satoru raised his brow. "For as long as we are tied, icecream isn't the only thing we'd share. I kinda like to know how you're feeling sometimes."

"Satoru," You shook him off of the top of your head, "I like having my privacy too! If you want to know how I'm feeling, you can just ask!"

But as you spoke, you felt something wrench in your stomach. Fear... uncertainty...?

"Can we keep it on for just a while longer then?" Satoru frowned, putting his head on your shoulder instead. "You're still adjusting to everything here... it'll help me feel better about you staying if I can know for sure that you're alright."

Pressing your lips together, you sighed. Were these your feelings or his? Nevertheless, the feeling was strong enough to make you reconsider. "We can keep it for now. If you can tell me one thing."

Satoru raised his eyebrow.

"Satoru..." you pressed your lips together. "Do you still love me?"

The question caught him off guard, but he was quickly able to bounce back. "Of course I love you! Why would that change?"

Letting off an awkward chuckle, you shook your head. "No reason."

YOU
Hi Sensei!!
Can I ask you a favour?

GOJO SENSEI
Y/n!
Hope you're well... how can I help?

YOU
It's a bit of a long story, but...
The higher ups want to execute me. Apparently my cursed technique may be too much of an issue!
Senpai was able to prolong it so long that we can prove that me being here doesn't impact the future, so would I be able to call you to show them there's nothing to worry about?

GOJO SENSEI
Of course you can, Y/n!
If you want to call I wouldn't mind.
I'd recommend calling me in 30, so whenever you need just set your phone to then to reach me.
Is that ok?

YOU
That's perfect!
Thank you so much Sensei, I really owe you big time!

You put your phone back in your pocket as Senpai leaned his arm on your doorframe. After getting back from your ice-cream trip, the two of you planned to go clear everything up with the higher ups. So, you made a pit stop to your room to change into clean clothes. You wouldn't want to introduce yourself to the higher ups with melted ice-cream on your shirt, right?

"He's ok with it," you sighed out in relief as you looked at your white haired boyfriend.

"I told you that you'd have nothing to worry about," Satoru smirked, pushing his body upright. He walked in your room as he wrapped his arms around your waist. "I love you so much, Y/n..."

"Sa...Satoru?" Your breath hitched. "What brought this on you?"

"Am I not allowed to say I love you, Y/n-chan?" Satoru smiled, holding you closer. "Another reason I want to keep the strings on is because I love feeling how much you love me."

"Satoru..."

Satoru pulled you in, just moments away from crashing his lips against yours, but he hesitated. The millisecond before, he froze. Your eyes fluttered open as his lips twitched.

"Satoru?"

"I'm sorry," he quickly backtracked, scratching the back of his head. "I-I got ahead of myself again, and I was about to-"

"Just kiss me already!"

"-kiss you, but then I re..."

And that's when your words sunk in. The boy blinked. "What?"

It took you a moment to realize what you said, but as soon as you did you couldn't help but feel overwhelmingly embarrassed.

"I-I didn't mean it like that!" You blurted in a brief squeal. "I mean I wouldn't mind- I just don't want to tell you to do something you don't want to do. Let's just forget this all happened and just g-"

Without a moment to spare Satoru crashed his lips on yours. This was the first time you both kissed after the previous misunderstanding, at quite an embarrassing moment too. It took a moment for you to realize what was even happening.

A kiss is so much more magical under these circumstances. Sure lust has its place, but lust is only temporary. Love is forever...

And in this moment you were sure you found your forever.
