Memories (Gojo Satoru)

28- Chocolates

The early morning sunlight cast a soft glow on the passing scenery as Gojo drove Rin to the hospital.

"Why are you even going to work..?" He asked. "We're newly weds. We're supposed to be having our small vacay somewhere in Hawaii for our 'honeymoon'.." he grinned.

She softly hit his arm and frowned. "Don't you even joke about that."

He chuckled before they were both silent, and he decided to play some music instead.

She leaned against the window, lost in her own thoughts, when a familiar melody filled the car. Rin's voice, sweet and melodic, softly sang the lyrics of "Lemon" by Kenshi Yonezu.

Gojo couldn't help but chuckle at her singing, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "You know, Rin," he teased, "with a voice like that, you should consider becoming an idol."

Rin turned to him with a playful smirk. "Oh, really?" she retorted. "And what would you do if I became an idol? You'd barely get any time from me with all the concerts and fan events."

Gojo nodded, feigning a pout. "Hmm, you've got a point there," he said, his tone dripping with mock disappointment. "But I'd still make sure you come back to me, no matter how busy you are."

Rin chuckled, shaking her head. "Oh, is that so?" she replied, a glint of amusement in her eyes.

Gojo grinned, enjoying their banter. He glanced at Rin, his gaze filled with admiration. "You know, Rin," he said, his voice laced with teasing affection, "I think I'm quite the charming guy to be an idol myself. Don't you find me handsome?"

Rin rolled her eyes, a playful smile on her lips. "Fine," she conceded. "I do think you're handsome, but your so-called 'charms' don't work on me, Satoru."

Gojo's grin widened, a twinkle of mischief in his eyes. "Well, we'll see about that," he replied, his tone teasing.

As they arrived at the hospital, Rin hopped out of the car, waving at Gojo through the window. "Thanks for the ride, Satoru," she called out.

Gojo watched her with a mix of admiration and fondness. "Anytime, Rin," he replied, his voice filled with warmth. "Have a great day at work."

With a final wave, Rin turned and walked towards the hospital, her steps filled with confidence and determination. Gojo sat in the car for a moment, his gaze lingering on her retreating figure. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and affection for the strong, independent woman she had become.

Gojo leaned back in his car seat, his eyes closed, as memories from their childhood flooded his mind.

As Gojo started to reverse his car from the parking lot, his attention was caught by Sara, who jogged towards his car, waving enthusiastically to get his attention. Gojo looked at her blankly for a moment before rolling down the window, he listened as Sara began speaking to him in a flirty manner.

"Hey, Gojo-san!" Sara greeted, her tone carrying a playful undertone. "I was wondering if you could do me a favor. During our lunch break, could you take me to a store real quick?"

Gojo leaned back in his seat, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. "Which store are you talking about?" he asked, curious about her request.

Sara's smile widened, and she leaned closer, her voice laced with a flirtatious tone. "There's this new bakery store that just opened nearby, and I've been dying to try their pastries. It would be so nice if you could take me there."

"Well, if I'm not too busy, I guess I could take you there," Gojo replied.

Sara's face lit up with a delighted smile as she nodded in appreciation. She waved at him, adding a playful wink to her gesture, before turning and striding confidently into the hospital. Gojo watched her for a moment, a faint smirk tugging at the corners of his lips, before continuing on his way.
