Summary: Waking up in the Infirmary of Jujutsu Tech you are faced with more questions than answers. After getting the answers you get something a little extra.
A/n: Sorry it took so long to get this out, if you've seen my previous posts, I've been dealing with some stuff but hopefully soon I'll be able to write more. Anyways, please enjoy.
I could feel my senses coming back to me slowly. It was chilly wherever I was, it also smelled sterile, almost like a hospital. I slowly opened my eyes only to close them quickly as the lights in the room blinded me. I let out a groan as I tried again to open my eyes and adjust to the bright room.
Hearing my groan of discomfort, whoever was in the room with me moved closer to the bed. It didn't take long to figure out that the person was the resident doctor of Jujutsu Tech, Shoko. I figured out from the faint scent of cigarettes that entered my senses as she got closer.
"Finally you wake up. Those two have given me a headache about whether you were going to wake up or not." She said with a roll of her eyes. "How are you feeling? You lost a lot of blood." Shoko asked, reaching to check the bandages on my arm.
It took me a second to register what she said but instead of answering her question, I asked my own. "How did I get here? Last thing I remember was the curse slicing my wrist, and crushing my phone." I was really confused, I was fighting a curse that was stronger than I expected and had called Choso for help only for the curse to break my phone. Choso didn't know where my mission was so there was no way he found me.
Shoko just chuckled before unwrapping my wrist to clean and rebandage it. "That boyfriend of yours made Gojo send him to you because he was scared for you." I looked at her even more confused. One I don't have a boyfriend and two why did Gojo know where I was. Sensing my confusion she explained further. "Apparently after your call with Choso cut off abruptly, he ran off to ask Gojo for help finding you. No surprise to anyone Gojo already snuck the information about your mission from the higher ups and agreed to send Choso to you."
After taking a moment to process what she said, more questions arose. "Why did Gojo want the information about my mission? Also you expect me to believe Choso asked Gojo for help? Gojo extremely dislikes Choso, and he knows it." I rambled as she moved from the fresh bandage on my wrist to the smaller bandage wrapped around my head. "But if what you are saying is true and Gojo helped Choso, How did they get me back alive? If I lost a lot of blood like you said I would be dead. Neither Gojo or Choso can use reverse curse technique on other people, so they couldn't have healed me." I was so perplexed by everything.
Before Shoko could respond the door to the infirmary opened to reveal the messy haired half curse. It took him a moment to realize I was awake, and when he did he froze in his spot. Noticing Choso, Shoko quickly excused herself. "Well I'll leave you two to talk. I need a cigarette anyway." And with that left us alone in the room.
Once the door was closed behind Shoko, Choso stayed frozen by it, unsure of what to do. I gave him a gentle smile before speaking to him. "Hey Choso, how are you doing?" I tried to play it cool and not scare him off, by asking questions too quickly.
He shifted slightly on his feet before responding. "Okay, How are you?" Choso still hadn't moved from his spot at the door. It was weird seeing him nervous, but I don't understand why. Sure he can be quiet and closed off but he's never been this way around me.
I smiled at him as I answered his question. "I'm okay, all things considered. Why don't you take a seat?" I motioned to the chair placed by the bed I was on. He slowly nodded his head before making his way to the chair. After he sat down I decided to start asking questions. "Can I ask how you found me, no one was supposed to know where I was going except the higher ups and me."
"Gojo figured out the location of your mission, and sent me to you after your call was cut out." The brunette said quickly not making eye contact, seemingly more interested in the wall next to me.
"I'm surprised you and Satoru spoke without killing each other." I said with a slight chuckle trying to get my close friend to relax a bit more. He didn't respond to the comment and kept staring at the wall, so I continued. "Um, Could I ask how you managed to save me? As far as I know you can't use the Reverse Curse technique." I could see him processing my question. It was like he didn't know how to respond, even if it was a simple question.
After a few moments of silence, he finally spoke. "I used my blood manipulation. You had lost so much blood, and your pulse was nearly gone when I finally exercised the curse. So I used blood conversion to turn some of my cursed energy into blood for you, I also manipulated the blood to harden over your wounds so you would stop bleeding." His tone was even and anyone else would think there was no emotion there but I could tell. I could see in his eyes that he was holding back, even after knowing him for a month I knew he had trouble expressing himself.
I processed the information he told me and the little bit I could read from his eyes. He was upset about something, I just couldn't tell what. "Are you upset with me for going on the mission?" I asked, it was the only thing I could think of that could have upset the stoic sorcerer.
That seemed to have snapped him out of his trance, as he immediately turned to look at me. Confusion was written across his face. "I could never be upset with you. I'm upset with myself for not stopping you, I'm upset that I didn't push to go with you. But most of all I'm upset that those old bastards sent you out on that mission and lied about the grade of the curse. You nearly died because of them. I was nearly ready to go to the higher ups and kill them myself. Actually had you died I would have." This was the most I had heard him speak in the short time I've known him, I was stunned. "Truthfully I don't know what I would do without you. Other than being ready to take out the old bastards, I was terrified that I would lose you and then I'd be back to being alone. Sure I'd have my little brother, but it's different. The way I feel about you is different from the way I feel about Yuji. It's the same but different somehow. I just don't know how to explain it."
It took me a moment to process what he was saying. He felt that he would be alone without me even though he has Yuji. There was only one emotion that I could think of that felt that way, and I knew I felt the same. "Love, that's the feeling. You love Yuji because he's your brother and you would protect him from anything. You feel the same for me but it's different because it's like we're a matching set. It's hard to think of life without your other half because they make everything easier. You want to spend every free moment with them and experience new things together. I understand because I feel the same about you. If I lost you, I would lose part of myself. I know it's weird to say after only knowing you for a month, but I feel it deep in my soul that it's the truth." I said giving him a name for his feelings, and informing him that the feelings were mutual.
He looked at me for a second trying to comprehend what I had told him. "If that's the name of this fuzzy feeling I get everytime you're around then I'd say it's safe to say that I love you, Y/n." He said making eye contact and gently holding my hand, running his thumb across the back of my hand in slow circles.
"I love you too, Choso" I responded, giving his hand a small squeeze. I was about to ask him if he'd like to go out once I was clear to leave the infirmary, when a certain white haired man barged into the room.
The lanky man looked directly at our joined hands and rolled his eyes. "Now that you two have confessed and whatever, I want to have a talk." Gojo said as he walked over to the side of my bed across from Choso. I groaned knowing exactly where this was going. "Cursed womb person, Y/n is like a younger sibling to me, so if you hurt them I hurt you." I attempted to slap him, but was stopped by his infinity. He just laughed before continuing on his stupid rant. "You are to have them back to campus before 10pm whenever you go out, no exceptions. If they get hurt while you are out, it's on you and I hurt you. And you Y/n, If he does anything to upset you in any way, you tell me immediately."
"Satoru I swear to god, if you do not stop threatening Choso, I will make your life a living hell. Also you aren't my boss and can't give me a curfew so shut up." I said making my own threats to the six eyes user. He just smirked and was about to say something else when Shoko returned to the room. She did not look happy with her friend, she managed to grab his arm in a split second when his guard was down and pulled him out of the room, mumbling about him being a dick and ruining the moment.
I couldn't help but laugh at the friends as they left before I heard Choso clear his throat next to me. I turned to look at him curious as to what he wanted to say. "Y/n I was going to ask this before we were interrupted by the albino idiot. Would you like to go out to dinner with me, once you are fully healed?" He asked, leaving me stunned. I thought I was going to have to ask him out, but it seemed that when it's just the two of us he's more confident, or comfortable, and it was nice to see him be open.
"Ofcourse, I would love to go out with you Choso." I responded smiling. I can't wait to see where this goes.
