He frowned as he tried to think of the perfect present for her. He didn't earn much, given how he was merely a student at the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School, but he wanted the best for his girlfriend who often showered him with love whenever he returns to the dorm from a mission.
He was powerful indeed, a special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer, and many would question why he would date someone who was merely a Grade 4 then. But often, he would brush it aside, but he knew all too well that his girlfriend was affected.
He fell in love with her, and as cliche, as it sounds, it was love at the first sound. How when they were deployed on a mission together, for she was a first-year student, with him, being a third-year student then.
How they were deployed on the same mission went unknown to them, but when he heard her speak, asking for help for the first time, his heart skipped a beat. And since then, did he set his eyes on her, eventually having her as his girlfriend.
He would always protect her, no matter the occasion. No matter how minor the danger was, he was always there for her. He could be cocky from time to time, but when it comes to her, he mellows down a whole lot.
And often he would bicker with Gojo in front of her, where she would look utterly confused as to whether they were really fighting or not. Which then Geto had to often assure her that they were just bickering for the sake of passing time, and nothing more.
"Boo!" and he chuckled as he watched her flinched upon the sudden scare he had inflicted her with. He watched as she turned to look at him with a slight pout on her face then as she quickly covered what she was doing, earning a rather curious look from her boyfriend.
"What are you hiding?" he asked, and he watched as she shook her head vigorously. She scrunched her nose up, hugging whatever she was hiding against her chest tightly when Geto tried to reach out for it.
Deciding not to probe any further, did he look around her room, wondering what she was lacking. He was often told by her that if he were to buy her gifts, she would want something that she needs instead of something that she wants.
And with that, did he feel that he should be able to spot what she was lacking, and needed. But then he realized how [name] had practically everything she needed, and he could feel a sense of defeat coming through his soul.
"Suguru-kun?" she called out, snapping him out of his thoughts. He turned to look at her, and smiled at her, which she could only smile at his response.
"We are spending Christmas together, right?" she asked, and that's when Geto was about to respond, only to have [name]'s door bursting open and in came the ever so charming Gojo.
"Yo! Suguru! We have a mission together once more!" Gojo spoke out and Geto raised an eyebrow at what was going on then, wondering when was the mission.
"Now?" he asked, and Gojo nodded his head as he removed his sunglasses then, which [name] could only let out a sigh, wondering what was going on.
"How long?" Geto asked.
"Depends," he commented, and Geto realized that there was a high chance he won't be able to spend their first Christmas together as a couple. He rubbed the back of his neck as he looked at [name], who had on a sad smile then.
"It's fine, Suguru-kun," she whispered out, a little heartbroken then. Geto then waved Gojo off, telling him to head out first while he talks to [name]. Gojo was about to suggest something, only for [name] to smile at him, as if telling him to not try what he wanted to do.
He wanted to tell Geto to stay while he heads out on his own for the mission, which [name] would never approve as that would mean that Geto was gonna forgo his sorcerer duty.
"I'm sorry," Geto spoke out as he kissed her on the forehead and she could only laugh.
"It's okay. Duty calls. And you feel bad about it, so I'm glad. It's the thought that counts," she spoke out and Geto could only wonder why someone as kind and gentle like [name], would end up dating someone like him.
"Take care, Suguru-kun," she whispered out as he turned to leave after he had planted a kiss on her lips then. She smiled as he left, and soon turned to look at what she was hiding then, the sad smile continued to remain on her face.
"Well..." she whispered to herself then.

"[name] isn't here? Where did she go?" Geto asked as he had just returned to the dorms with Gojo after they had completed the mission, and it was Christmas, so he got excited with how he was gonna be able to spend it with his girlfriend.
"Nope, she said she would head out to see the lights in the city," Shoko spoke out as she looked at Geto who had a deep frown on his face. He let out a sigh, wondering what he should do and Shoko could only shake her head in response.
"Well, a girl who is in a relationship, spending Christmas alone and looking at the lights by herself seems to be a little sad, don't you think so?" Shoko spoke out and she, along with Gojo, watched as Geto walked out quickly.
"Nice," Gojo spoke out as he fist-bumped Shoko.
.
.
"Pretty..." [name] whispered out as she looked around, her pink-tinted lips parted as she admired the beautiful lights displayed in the city. Her cheeks flushed red due to how cold it was, but nothing could beat how beautiful the city was.
She then turned, looking around then with her lips pressed into a fine thin line. How couples were everywhere, hugging one another as they admired the lights. How they were being all lovey-dovey, and there she was then.
Alone.
She brought her phone out, wondering if she should give Geto a call, wondering if he was back from his mission. But she pushed past the idea, given how he would be tired from the mission. She shrugged her shoulders then as she clutched the gift-wrapped box tightly.
"Maybe I should have just stayed in the dorm," [name] mumbled out, and she took a step back. Only to bump against a toned chest, and she could hear someone panting. She turned to look, her eyes widened as she looked at him.
"Y-You... C-Could have called me and I'll come right to you, you idiot!" and [name] couldn't help but let her pink-tinted lips curled up into a smile then as she hugged him tightly, where she laughed as he picked her up with ease, twirling her around.
"Merry Christmas, babe," he spoke out and kissed her on the lips.
"Merry Christmas," she responded, and soon he sets her down with ease. She eagerly presents him the gift-wrapped box, and he rubbed the back of his neck as he accepted it. Feeling like he had failed as he rummaged through his pocket.
And soon brought out a snowflake necklace, dangling it in front of her eyes which he watched as her lips curled up into a wide smile.
"It's beautiful, thank you, Suguru-kun," she whispered out as he proceeds to put it on her, but soon he leaned down and kissed her cheek then.
"I know it's not much, you don't always have to force yourself to accept it. Tell me if I'm doing bad, and I'll try to improve," he spoke out, and [name] shook her head then as she hugged him tightly.
"It's the thought that counts, love," she whispered out, happy. And somehow, looking at how happy she was, made Geto feel all flustered on the inside as he hugged her tightly in return, and kissed her on the top of her head.
.
.
"So, what did you get me?" he asked and [name] ushered him to open it as she sat down on his bed. She was hopeful that he would like the present she handmade for him, and he brought it out, rather surprised that it was a self-made scarf then with his initials.
"Now, this is something worth wearing with my uniform when I go on missions!" he called out and chuckled as [name] had on a deep blush then and he leaned in, kissing her on the lips then.
"Thank you, babe. I really love it," he spoke out and [name] slowly nodded her head in response.
"Ahhhh, I should have made something handmade for you instead. That should have shown my sincerity a little more than just buying something with money," he spoke out with a pout, and [name] could only laugh as she placed her cold hands onto either side of his face, and soon planted a kiss on his lips.
"Idiot. It's the thought that counts. I don't need you to buy me things just to prove that you love me," she whispered out and Geto could only raise an eyebrow then and soon watched as her lips parted once more.
"You even came to find me despite being all tired form the mission. If that isn't love, then I don't know what is anymore," she added on, and Geto could feel his heart skipping a beat once again, leaning in once again as he kissed her passionately on the lips.
"I love you so much, [name]..."

1. It was the thought that counts, that's what [name] often told him. But he always tried to find ways to impress her, to show that he loves her wholeheartedly.
2. And he was sure of his love for her, for he was willing to sacrifice a whole lot of his rest just to spend time with her, no matter the occasion. And with that, did Geto Suguru love her with all of his heart.
