Overflow 2: A Gojo & Geto Tale

Chapter 11: Another Gojo

"They threatened you?" Utahime is now next to me searching my eyes.

The playfulness that she has had since we've arrived is gone and she emits anger.

"They...when I got back..." My head is swirling with everything going on.

"They roughed up Satoru when he got back from his week long mission." Suguru rubs my back and takes control of the conversation.

I let my eyes rest on the fire.
How embarrassing...

"What?! They can't do that! We have to..." Utahime is furious and turns to Haibara for support.

"No. We can't." Suguru says sternly. "We can't do anything at the moment. There is a lot of moving parts Utahime, but for now we have the upper hand with this heir situation."

"Heir situation...you understand you're talking about a child right? A child that will be Gojo's biological baby who shouldn't be a pawn in this mess." Haibara sits up straighter and leans forward meeting Suguru's gaze with anger in his.

"The child will not be a pawn forever. It's the start of something. Can you just trust us?" I look into Utahime's eyes that are dark with worry.

She takes a moment to breathe and think. She calmly takes my hand and holds it in her tiny fingers.

"You both are insane to take this on. You both are also great parents..." she finds Haibara's eyes and holds them on her. "We will help you with whatever you need."

"Thank you." Suguru sighs with relief.

"That could have went a tad better." I sigh as Suguru massages the shampoo in my hair. His long slender fingers leave my chest tingling.

"Yeah, but it could have been worse too." Suguru's breath is hot on my back. "Also how did you get so much sand in your hair?"

"The kids buried me on the beach while you were helping Haibara with the grill." I laugh closing my eyes enjoying his attention.

"Mutiny!" Suguru's laugh echos in the shower.

"I think they had a great time." I turn around and dip my head under the stream to rinse.

"I know they did. And I did too. This place is...a paradise." Suguru starts to wash my chest, running his hands along me slowly.

I blush under his touch. Suguru has always known when I needed the extra love. Even when we were younger he could always tell when I needed his attention or when I was stressed even if I thought I hid it well. He can see right through my mask.

Speaking of paradise, I haven't had my infinity on this whole trip. It felt nice to not worry. Not be on watch. Just to be able to feel everyone's random hugs and sometimes pushes.

"I feel human here." I mumble against the water caressing my face.

Suguru's hands stop on my arms holding me gently. I bring my head out from underneath the shower head and open my eyes to Suguru's beautiful face.

"You are human...Satoru." He pecks my nose and continues to wash my arms. "I think the baby would also enjoy a place like this. To have somewhere to grow up away from our reality. Away from curses and those who curse us."
