" really? And you have to consume it everytime!?!" You were up right in your seat. You were shocked at the man's endurance

" not really...yet it's still repetitive and tiring" Geto sounded serious, his eyes narrowing while he rubbed his neck.

" I'm sorry" you murmur. Geto's eyes glanced to you, " why? You have nothing to be sorry for" Geto's hand grazed yours

" it's just...eating something disgusting over and over again can be tiring. It can make you go crazy" your voice sounded unserious to Geto's soft chuckling

" well if there's ever something that can filter the taste, I'll let you know" you gently reach out to pat Geto's shoulder. Geto knew that such things were rare, maybe even impossible to find.

" thank you..really" Geto was grateful for your thoughtfulness .

" no worries." you reply. Geto thought for a moment before staring at you again, " do you think I'm going crazy?" Geto's question caught you off guard. Your head turns to him confusingly

" crazy!? If anyone is going crazy it's Gojo" you share your opinion. Geto's lips make a soft smile, " I'm no different from him you know"

" what do you mean?" Your eyebrows knitted together

" the more you know me, the more you'll understand" Geto smiled. You didn't get him now and you don't think you'll ever get what he meant

| END OF FLASHBACK

" so...I killed him" you understood Gojo's long tale on your friends death. It made sense, his downfall.

It also made you feel guilt. Was it your doing? Did you leaving really affect him? How childish. You wanted to be like your younger self, blaming people for everything. Not this time, you had no one to blame but yourself.

" I'm sorry. It's my fault" Gojo's hands enveloped together after resting his glasses on the coffee table 

" your fault? It's my fault. Everything is" you correct. Gojo looks up, his face differing from all the facial expressions he had expressed before you came back.  He was genuinely frowning.

" don't say that." Gojo's tone was serious

" back then I blamed you for everything. Everything that went wrong in my life I took it out on you. I yelled at you." You were equally guilty

" I...never considered your emotions" you stand up, kneeling down upon reaching Gojo. " you've must of been suffering so much." Your hands graze his cheek

Gojo was shocked, no one ever asked him how he was going, only Shoko briefly noticed. " he was your friend too and I'm sorry you had to go through that" you made Gojo vulnerable

All this time he didn't allow himself to cry, yet in your hands again, his eyes watered. Sharing a sympathetic smile you slowly hug Gojo

Gojo hugs you tightly. There was only ever two times you've seen him cry, genuinely cry.

One was your departure and the second time was now. Warm water soaked into your shoulder, giving you the strength to squeeze him tightly
