" the fear of being in love or falling in love
——— ❝ ...
' Right... how could I be so blind? It was right in front of me the whole time.' You cursed yourself. Your hands ball into a fist
" is someone at the door?" You heard muffled voices echo through the door
You snap out of your daze and grab Gojo's wrist without much thought. You quickly dragged him to another classroom and locked the door
Gojo was shocked, but not for the reasons you were thinking. " hey!" Gojo almost scolded as you placed a hand to his lips. He quickly softened upon seeing your gloomy expression
'...nevermind' Gojo debated in his mind as your hands slowly slid down his face
You felt tears overwhelm your eyes no matter how hard you tried not too. " I...was so..blind..." you muster between sniffles
Gojo watched the scene in front of him, not moving an inch. He contemplated on saying something but he didn't
" I'd knew you pick me over her" the other side of the door spoke.
" of course, I mean they never put in any efffort you know?" you heard Yamaji's voice pierce through the wall. Coming from him, it hurt. It hurt because all this time, you had been putting in the effort
' I never want to love again. I never want to put effort in for someone who doesn't appreciate it . never again' you vowed from there
As the footsteps and laughter faded away. your heart continued to shatter even more
Gojo stood there in silence for you. Making sure the two had passed the classroom you were in before speaking his mind
It felt like seconds to you but it was minutes to Gojo. It was only after 2 minutes that Gojo decided to speak up. " are you gonna stand here forever?" Gojo sighed, sounding irritated
" what do you want me to do? Do you want me to not sulk?" You stared back up, glaring at the man
Gojo carelessly chose his words, " he was a jerk anyway, don't know why you are so upset, it's pretty pathetic " Gojo scoffed, crossing his arms. Being the person he was, he never had the problem of being committed to someone
'Hypocrite' you conflicted. " coming from you I didn't expect much, you've probably never been in a serious relationship so that's why you share no sympathy. You are a heartless man" you scolded, wanting to punch the man just to feel better
But after all that wouldn't do anything .
Gojo remained quiet. " you are no better than him" you coldly spat, opening the door and slamming it shut. Gojo could feel the stomps you created afterwards
He stood there for a few seconds. Many thoughts circling in his head. After your words sank into Gojo, his lips parted,
this whole situation was pathetic to him really...
——— THAT NIGHT
Your face was stuffed into your pillow as you continued to cry. A swarm of messages blew up your phone. Those messages coming from Utahime who was oblivious
You felt heartbroken, you felt a crushing sensation on your heart. Your hands drag themselves to grab another tissue
Your bed swarmed in tissues. As cliche as it was, you had snacks on your bedside table just to forget everything by eating
' how could he? ' you thought over and over again. You never thought he would cheat on you. What drove him to do so?
Was it something you did? Or was it because you were annoying to him?
You hover over your phone which stored the pictures of you and him together. Well ' fake pictures' to you now. You deleted them immediately. After all what would sulking over him do?
You thought back to the time you hid with Gojo. In that moment had you been too cruel with your words? The realisation of your tantrum hit you like a truck
Did you overreact? You had no idea and you couldn't ever face him again. The thought of seeing him again somehow made your blood boil
Had he known that Yamaji was cheating on you the whole time?
You sat up, knowing time wouldn't pass so easily. Making a decision, you put on your shoes and you head outside the house for a walk
——— MEAN WHILE
Gojo let out a heavy breath as he twisted and turned on his king sized bed. This was his tenth turn and he was growing restless
It felt hot even with the air conditioning on and it didn't help he was overthinking. Gojo massaged his eyes
Many thoughts circled through his head, the main one being you.
Gojo sat up and pushed his hair back, checking the time only to discover it was only 2am, meaning not a minute had passed since he checked the time. Sleeping wasn't an option anymore
Gojo closed his eyes again , reliving the moment with you before. He just couldn't put his finger on it.
Just how did you bypass his infinity?
Gojo was sure he had it on when he tested it after the whole ordeal. Yet you dragged him so easily. Was something wrong with him? Maybe he didn't have it on and forgot about it
Or did you figure out how to bypass it...Gojo massaged his head dizzily.
Even your curse technique was something he had never seen before ( literally) . All he did was blink and the curse was gone.
Gojo chuckled to himself. One thing was certain,
you definitely peaked his interest.
——— THE NEXT DAY
" hey you alright?" Shoko waved a pen in front of you. you cup your forehead, " sorry I'm not feeling well" you respond
Shoko stares at you for a moment. " are you sure it's just that? The mood from you seems...tense" Shoko emphasised with her hands
You debated whether to tell Shoko or not. " well...I found Yamaji yesterday and he...kissed someone else" you revealed
Shoko dropped her pen. " are you kidding me? That bastard" Shoko sweared, sitting next to you immediately
" who did he kiss" Shoko pressured you
You swallowed the lump in your throat, trying not to get emotional. " this random girl, I'm not sure but its fine-"
" no it's not fine." Shoko interrupted you
" no it is ...I was blind to not see it, heck you know Gojo was there too" you explained as Shoko stayed vigilant
" I'm an idiot...he probably knew the whole time and saw how I was making a fool out of myself" you start to rant. " what makes you think he knew?" Shoko added
You stare back at her, thinking of a valid reason, " he always stares at me as if his mocking me" you throw out your only reason
" was he shocked when he saw it?"
" I guess but-" . " I don't think he knew [y/n], his not close to Yamaji at all, I remember him telling me he suspected something about him" Shoko interrupted, shattering your thoughts
' If she was telling the truth, did you yell at Gojo for nothing? He must of known..right?' You didn't even know who to trust so you put on a fake smile
" Hi [y/n]" Geto appeared with drinks
You smile and greet him with Shoko. " I didn't know your favourite flavour so I chose a lot of flavours, I'm pretty sure Satoru is fine with the leftovers" Geto pulled out all the drink options
" you are so kind" you stare in awe, feeling slightly better already. " on that note...where is that Satoru?" Shoko stared at Geto who looked clueless
" Yaga sent him on a solo mission for a 1st grade" Geto simply replied, grabbing snacks from his bag to eat
" that would be too easy for him" Shoko rolled her eyes, taking a drink in her hands
" knowing him, he's probably just watching his favourite show" Geto chuckled, taking a seat next to you
" guess he slacks off often huh" you comment without much thought
Geto nodded, " Satoru always finishes the mission before the clock strikes 12 anyway. This curse would probably be gone in a minute or two"
" but you are strong too right? What's the shortest time you've defeated one Suguru" you nudged Geto
Geto stops to think, " 1 to 2 minutes?"
——— THAT NIGHT
" I'm heading this way" Utahime dismissed. You swing your hand as a farewell, watching her travel in the opposite direction
It was late at night and after staying after school to catch up with Utahime, you walked around the empty streets. Many would never hang out this late at night but you liked the cooling sensation of the night sky
By now, there was no one around, you decided to relax with music. You used an old device of yours to listen to old songs
Old songs that would hit you with nostalgia.
Being too engulfed in the song, you felt a werid sensation run through your body. It was very strange. You look up and realised you entered through a black wall
' don't tell me...is this a veil?' You pondered, having only been taught about it a few times before
You quickly turn back around and try force yourself back out but when your fingers wouldn't budge, you realised you were trapped in a veil
' just great' you mutter, taking a look at your surroundings. The radius of the area didn't seem giant so maybe a cursed spirit would be hiding in the middle
You clutch your bag and walk cautiously through the shadows. " Oi, can we get this over and done with? I need to get home" you heard in an alleyway
You quickly hid behind the wall you found. That voice...you knew it from somewhere but where? You lean over to peak inside the alleyway
" is this a joke to you?" You heard what you assumed was a curse grumble
" yes it is, in fact I don't want to get in any more trouble so I'll just kill you okay?" The voice cooed
No way...did you just walk into Gojo's mission?
