"So? If you thought I would just come here to drink and eat you were wrong, so start explaining." You said with a straight face before taking a small bite of your strawberry tart.
You lied. One of the main reasons you accepted to meet him here in the first place was the fact that you were going to get free food.
Gojo sighed before opening his mouth to speak, but he quickly closed it. He seemed to be rethinking his words before he spoke now.
"Y/n, I know and totally understand that you are mad at me. It was a dick move to just leave without explaining anything but that's why I called back, I want to make things right again. Because I love you."
You could swear you almost laughed right at his face. Not from joy or anything- but from anger.
"Mad?? MAD?? I am more than mad! Way more! You just left me there alone gojo! Did you even consider how I felt?!"
You felt bad for making a scene in a cafe, but you really had a hard time holding back your emotions. Still, you tried to keep your voice low as you could.
You didn't want to get kicked out and lose your precious strawberry tarts after all.
"I know, and I am deeply sorry. Y/n. That's why I called you several times, I want to explain myself to you. I want to tell you everything"
You let out a soft sigh and looked at your fists that were placed on the cafe table. Your leg bounced up and down with anxiety.
He was indeed very important to you. You'd be a damn liar if you said otherwise. As much as you tried to do put on act - you were afraid of losing him.
You always were.
You cleared your throat
"Fine... speak up..." You looked away from him. Feeling upset with the whole situation. Maybe if you hadn't asked anything in the first place everything would've been normal? But still, you hated being left in the dark...
"So... there is... there are..." he seemed to he at a loss for words (but honestly, who can blame him? It's hard to explain about the whole jujutsu shit.)
"So in the world there is something called cursed spirits, created by the negative emotions of humans. The problem with these curses is that they kill people. I'm a teacher. I didn't lie about it, but I left out important details about the school."
Gojo paused for a moment to breathe again. That was a bad start and he knew it. but God. How are you supposed to explain this to a non-sorcerer??
"Humans with a tremendous amount of negative energy can see these cursed spirits, which normal humans like you for example cannot see. The school where I teach, is designed to train those humans to become sorcerers and kill the cursed spirits, in order to protect human lives ..."
You started at him blankly for a moment, was this guy serious?
What the hell is he babbling about?
You let out a laugh, it wasn't a real laugh of course. Obviously you didn't take Gojo seriously. Any sane person would not do that. "Is this a joke?" You said, looking at him confused with a hint of anger in your voice.
"I know, I know it all sounds.. weird.. but trust me when I say it. It's true. I didn't want to involve you in this because I wanted to protect you. I don't want you to get in danger" Gojo replied, looking down at his hands
You stay quiet. His face was serious. He doesn't look like he's kidding or messing around.
"I.. I don't understand." You said, adjusting your position in your chair. The conversation made you tense. That was the last thing you expected to hear.
"Cursed energy, cursed technique, cursed spirits... all are created from one's negative emotions. For example... remember your 'disease'?" Gojo asked you
You cleared your throat again, taking a sip of your drink to ease your nervousness. "Yes" you answered quickly.
"It was a cursed spirit sitting on the back of your head. The reasons for your migraines or headaches were because of it. The day we met, I quickly exorcised it. Remember the 'dust' I said I saw on you. That was the cursed spirit. You didn't notice, it was small and weak. That's also why you didn't feel any more pain, and that's why you don't need to take your medicine either - not like they helped."
Gojo's speech left you in complete shock. It can't be serious, under any circumstances.
"So what I'm guessing is that you were actually born with some kind of illness. Your parents were worried sick and that led to a lot of negative feelings about your condition, which caused your cursed spirit to be 'born' and it stayed with you until then - that's what made you feel bad."
You let out a shaky breath, "Wow..." It was a lot to take in at once. Your tense face proved it
"You're not kidding.. are you?" You looked at him. Something in you hoped he would deny it. He will say he was just joking. that he just lied and that the real reason he didn't tell you anything was because he was a closed person. But he didn't. He replied with a nod
"Wow..."
"My students, Yuta... Maki.. Inumaki.. They have been trained to be jujutsu sorcerers and they also have their own abilities, in a few months more students will also join - they will be the new first years. If you want I can give you Talk to them - only as proof," he said
"No, no.." you shook your head "I believe you.. it's just a lot to take, sorry. Honestly, I didn't expect it.. I expected you to say you were a murderer or maybe a kidnapper, something like that... probably..."
Gojo couldn't help but laugh, causing a small smile to appear on your face. "Seriously? I fight these curses every day to protect humanity and that's what you think I am?" Gojo chuckled, seeing him laugh eased your nervousness a bit. You couldn't lie..
There was silence for a short time, before Gojo spoke again
"So?.... Are we okay?..." He leaned on the table, hoping to hear—
"Yes.. yes we are." Your answer was enough to make him smile again, he didn't even care that the two of you were in the middle of the cafe. He got off the chair and picked you up in a hug. You wanted to stop him, tell him you were still in a cafe, but you gave up.
"H-Hey! Put me down I haven't finished my strawberry-" Gojo silenced you with a kiss, you couldn't help but smile into it..
...
"So she is that brat that made the strongest sorcerer alive all weak and vulnerable, huh?..." a voice spoke, watching the couple far away from the cafe.
"Bet we could put that into use.."
