Chapter 15: Hangouts with friends are the best.
"Suguru! Suguru! Suguru! Guess what!"
"What, Satoru?"
"You know! I can't believe myself"
"You sound like a teenager getting all worked up because of a crush, what is wrong with you?"
"No! Suguru, hear me out!" He sounded so excited.
"And I asked, what is it? Don't prolong it further"
"I'm the luckiest man on earth, I think I'm going to get married soon! We kissed!"
"Ha???"
Today, the two best friends decided to hang out. Geto had free time, Gojo had free time. So they decided to meet up.
"You kissed and then that's it? She agreed to get married to you?" He couldn't believe his words.
"Well no, I didn't propose" Gojo said. Then Geto heaved a sigh of relief. Of course this is Satoru, he would exaggerate things.
"But you see, Y/N is the one"
Geto eyed him with a suspicious look. "Are you being serious?"
"I am! I even already told my father about her"
"You already introduced her to your father?" Geto looked so shocked.
"No Suguru, I haven't yet, I just told him"
Geto put his cup of tea down. If Gojo told his father about his relationship, then he must be really serious.
"Bro, will Y/N be alright though?"
"Huh? Of course she will be, there's nothing to worry about" he smiled widely and rested his hands behind his head.
Geto hummed. Y/N is a great woman, no doubt about that.
"You know, I've never seen you this happy before" Geto said.
"Really?" Gojo looked at him, Geto was just smiling as he takes a sip of his coffee.
"I'm happy for you. You found the woman of your dreams"
"Yup! I finally won't be meeting girls introduced to me by my father" he dreaded those days.
"Good for you"
━━━━━━━━━━━
"Shokooo" Y/N went for a hug. The woman just chuckled.
"Y/N, Gojo's gonna get jealous if he sees you hugging me like this"
"Let him be then" she broke the hug.
"He deserves to suffer for teasing me when we kissed"
"You kissed?" Shoko was surprised, and Y/N just blushed.
"I don't wanna talk about it! Let me forget him for a while"
Shoko just laughed. "Alright, alright"
"This opportunity comes once in a blue moon you know, we rarely have the same free times" Y/N said.
"Yeah, oh but I have something for you by the way" Shoko pulled out a white paper bag.
"It's not my birthday Shoko" Y/N chuckled.
"No I just want to give you something. Come on open it"
Y/N was confused why she would give her something, but upon opening the bag, it revealed a beautiful dress.
"Shoko, I couldn't possibly accept this"
"Wear it on you dates with Gojo"
"But Shoko-"
"You know, you recently look happier than you were ever before" Shoko started. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you were having a hard time being alone"
Shoko knows Y/N only has Yuji and Jin since her parents are abroad, and when she moved to Tokyo, she was all alone.
Y/N clasped the dress then looked at her. "You don't have to apologize Shoko, we have our own busy lives, this is too beautiful"
"Still, just accept it. Also, a thanks for making Gojo happy"
Y/N tilted her head.
"That man has never looked that happy all his life, until he met you. He deserves it, and you too"
━━━━━━━━━━━
"Hey Satoru" Geto called.
"Yeah?" He turned around, then Geto threw a paper bag at him.
"And what is this Suguru?" Gojo questioned.
"I heard it's her favorite color, so wear it when you go out in dates"
Gojo opened the bag, and it revealed a pink polo shirt.
"Suguru..."
"I know, I'm the best"
"Nah, but thank you" he smiled. "I need to give you a gift too, for taking care of Megumi"
"Well, then I'll be expecting a gift from you"
"Damn I thought you were gonna say no need"
"In your dreams Satoru"
Suddenly Geto squinted his eyes when he thought he saw someone, so Gojo turned around to face whatever he's looking at.
"Have you gone crazy, Suguru? You're looking at nothing"
"No, I just thought someone's following us"
"Eh?" But Gojo just shrugged. "They won't even come close to us"
"Well, you're right"
━━━━━━━━━━━
"Shoko, thank you" Y/N said as they were now heading home.
"It's nothing" Shoko smiled. Y/N's phone then rang, so she picked it up.
"Oh, sorry Shoko, I need to go ahead, Jin said he couldn't pick Yuji up"
"Of course, you should go ahead"
"Bye Shoko! Thank you for today"
And then she called for a taxi. Jin texted again, he said he couldn't make it home, so it only means one thing, Yuji will stay the night over at his aunt's place.
Truth be told, it was Y/N's first time in Yuji's school. She didn't call Gojo for help because she knows he was hanging out with Geto. It's summer vacation already, which means there are no classes anymore.
But Yuji came back today because he liked helping his teacher.
Thankfully, some students were also back for other reasons. So Y/N was able to ask a group of three resting under a tree.
"Hi, excuse me, uhm, do you know where the elementary department is?"
The three students turned to look at her.
"Of course! Uhm, you just go straight here then you will find a building, then turn right and just straight ahead there will be a playground, after that is the elementary department!"
"Oh thank you so much!" She smiled and bowed at them.
"You're welcome!" The boy replied, then she started walking towards the direction he pointed at.
"Hey, don't you think she looks familiar?" The only girl from the group said.
"Hmm" the boy who gave directions tried to recall.
"Gojo-sensei's wallpaper" the other one replied.
"Oh! Inumaki, you're right!" The black haired boy said.
"You don't mean, she's Gojo sensei's girlfriend?!" The girl exclaimed.
"I guess?"
"Let's go, you two"
"Huh? Where are we going, Maki?"
Maki smirked. "To the elementary department of course, come on" she dragged the two.
"Why are we following her?"
"Okkotsu, aren't you curious why would Gojo sensei's girlfriend go to the elementary department, and not find him?"
"Well, Gojo sensei's not here" Yuta replied.
"Yeah" Inumaki agreed.
Maki just rolled her eyes and continued going to the elementary department. When they reached it, they saw the woman being hugged by a pink-haired boy followed by a spiky black haired one.
"Isn't that Megumi?" Yuta asked.
"Shh, is that her child?" Maki pointed at the cheerful one.
"They have a little resemblance" Inumaki responded.
"Gojo sensei's girlfriend has a kid?" Yuta's brows furrowed.
"Let's go closer!"
The three of them scooted closer to listen to them.
"Megumi you're here too?" Y/N asked.
"Yeah, Gojo sensei left me here, he will pick me up later, he said"
"We hanged out! The three of us! But Kugisaki already left" Yuji tells her, suddenly their homeroom teacher appeared.
"Good afternoon, I came here for Yuji-Haibara?"
"Oh! Y/N-senpai!" The man recognized.
"Wow, it's been a while Haibara! I didn't know you are Yuji's teacher"
The man just beamed. "It's my passion to teach young ones! Is Yuji your son?" He asked.
"Shh! Quiet Inumaki, we'll find out if she has indeed a son!"
"I'm not talking though?"
"You're breathing, it's noisy"
The three of them were busy eavesdropping that they failed to notice someone's presence behind them.
The man crouched down at their level and spoke.
"What are my precious students hiding here from?"
"Aaaaaah!"
The three of them yelped in shock when a voice whispered back at them.
"Gojo sensei! You idiot! You're gonna give us a heart attack!" Maki complained.
The sudden scream caught Y/N, Yuji, Megumi and Haibara's attention.
"Gojo-san!" Haibara waved. "You're here to pick up Megumi now?"
"Yes Haibara-kun! And oh! Y/N you're here too!"
"Yes, Jin couldn't pick Yuji up, so I'm the one who went here"
"You could've told me you were coming here, I should've accompanied you"
"You were hanging out with Geto, I didn't want to disturb you"
Y/N then looked behind Gojo and saw three students peeking at them.
"Oh hi! You three are here too, thank you so much for giving me directions" she smiled at them.
"Awe! You all helped Y/N? Plus points in your grades"
"Isn't that unfair to others" Megumi commented.
"You taught Megumi well, Haibara" Y/N chuckled.
"You know each other! What a small world!" Haibara said as he sees Gojo and Y/N interacting.
"But if you don't mind me asking Y/N-senpai, is that why Nanami and you didn't get back together? Because you have a child?" Haibara glanced at Yuji.
"Ha?!" Rather than Y/N, it was Gojo who first reacted loudly.
"What? No Haibara, Yuji's not my son, he's my nephew" Y/N chuckled.
"He's my aunt, sensei! And uncle Satoru's her boyfriend!"
"What the kid said!" Gojo exclaimed.
"Eh??" Haibara's eyes widened. "I'm sorry Gojo-san, L/N-senpai!"
"Senpai?" Gojo muttered.
"We went to the same university in college" Y/N said.
"Oh" he pieced the puzzle pieces together. Haibara is Nanami's best friend, of course they will know each other.
"It's okay Haibara" Y/N said.
Haibara smiled awkwardly. "Ah, well it's really nice to meet you again, L/N-san, but I need to do something" he excused himself from them and left.
Gojo then turned to his students.
"Y/N meet my lovely students! Maki, Toge and my relative, Yuta!" He exclaimed. "My students, I have now the honor to introduce you, my girlfriend, who is REAL and not that you thought was imaginary, the love of my life, future mother of my children, and Megumi, Y/N!"
He shakes both of his hands to present Y/N.
"Please disregard what he's saying, I'm pleased to meet you three, I'm Y/N" she introduced herself and the three of them bowed at her.
"Y/N-san, we can help you escape our sensei" Maki whispered to her and Inumaki gave a thumbs up, to which Y/N just laughed.
"Hey! What did you say?" Gojo said and they had a short back and forth.
"Yuji, you're staying with me tonight, your dad's not going to go home" Y/N informed the kid.
"Woah, sleepover!" Yuji's eyes sparkled. "Fushiguro! Come sleepover with us!"
The kid only furrowed his eyebrows.
"Can Fushiguro stay at your place tonight too?" Yuji asked his aunt.
"Ah well, only if Megumi wants, and Satoru will permit"
"We can go!" Gojo turned to them.
"We??" The students questioned.
"You really have no shame sensei!" Maki exclaimed.
"Yeah!"
"Sensei, you're not inviting yourself, aren't you?" Yuta questioned.
"Yuji's inviting, what are you talking about Yuta?"
'He literally put the blame on the kid!'
Y/N sighed. He looked too excited.
"Fine" she said. "You can come too"
All of them was surprised at her response.
"What kind of magic did you use on her sensei!" Maki exclaimed but Gojo just grinned.
"It's a secret from your most awesome sensei!"
"Y/N-san, we can still help you escape"
