" a man whose desperately in love with a woman, but cannot admit his feelings
——— ❝ ...
your hands linger on your door knob. Normally you would open the door but you felt as if something was waiting for you inside
Something that wasn't good.
You muster all your courage and open the door in one swift motion. Your eyes circle around your house. Travelling inside, you look at your kitchen counter and see nothing on it
You took a deep breath. The feeling that someone was watching you was gone. You did a quick search around your house for cameras and such but you found nothing
You had no idea where the paranoia came from. The note really freaked you out. Perhaps it was a clue though.
You decided to talk with Yaga or any one for their advice tomorrow . You toss your bag on the ground and lay on the couch. The mission today had totally tired you out
Being met with the cushion, you found yourself drifting into sleep
——— FLASHBACK
" what happens after death?" You, a young child asked your mother who combed through your hair. " I don't know..." your mother murmured, looking at your dad in hopes he would reply
" well I suppose there's just darkness" your father put it bluntly —- " I thought there would be hell and heaven" you quizzed
" in a way though..wouldn't everyone go to hell if there was heaven and hell?" Your mother asked you. You looked up even more confused
" I mean no one is ever good." Your mother sighed. " hey now! Nows not the time to confuse our little girl" your father laughed it off
" sorry. Let's play a game" your mother switched the topic. You look up with your eyes glittering with excitement
You wasted no time, grabbing the arms of your parents, " let's go!"
——— END OF FLASHBACK
You open your eyes and realise you had a nap in class. You touched your necklace, realising it was still on your neck to your relief.
You wondered what the time was and checked your phone, only to realise it was still really early
You rub your eyes, fatigued from the week. In the morning you had travelled to school way too early to talk to Yaga but he didn't seem to arrive yet so you took a nap to pass the time
' why are my dreams so real' you touch your necklace, you couldn't tell if your dreams were lost memories or a message of warning
You stand up and walk out the classroom, looking around the school to pass the time even more.
Upon travelling around, you saw a familiar figure at a vending machine
" Gojo?" You call out. Gojo grabbed the drink and looked to you. He couldn't help but smile
" what are you doing here so early?" You looked around. There was no one
" I was going to train" Gojo lied. Part of his answer was so he could see you walk in the entrance
" really? I see" you nodded in agreement. " why are you here?" Gojo repeated your question. You had to think for a moment. You didn't want to tell him about your paranoia
" to study" you make up
Gojo didn't question it further. As Gojo drank his soda , you realised there was a small cut on his cheek. " wait what happened to you?" You gesture, you were going to touch his cheek
Gojo's infinity was gone. He let you touch his cheek, " well yesterday-"
" did Yamaji do this to you?" You thought you solved it. Truth is, you saw Gojo talk with Yamaji, you didn't see Gojo swing a punch but you assumed they fought after you left
" well he-" Gojo didn't get to fully answer before you shut him up.
" that jerk. Just wait here Gojo, I'll confront him" you made up your mind, fleeing the scene
Gojo was stunned. He didn't get a chance to tell you he got it from a cat. His fingers cupped his cheek, for the first time, he found himself blushing
There was no denying it now. It was obvious he was falling for you
——— LATER
" YAMAJI!" Your yells could almost be heard from a mile away. Yamaji was resting against a wall while waiting for his friends
His smile turned into a frown when he saw you with Gojo slowly catch up behind you
" what do you want" Yamaji whined. He knew seeing you would mean more trouble
" listen I know you are mad at me but that gives you NO right to attack any of my friends" you yelled, Gojo walking behind you
" attack ? he attacked me" Yamaji pointed at Gojo behind you. You take a deep breath, you were seconds away from exploding
" how dare you lie! All you do is lie" you almost yelled out. Gojo was surprised at your anger. It made you look scary to him but at the same time he thought you were hot
" lie? Why do you even care about Gojo anyway?" Yamaji pointed at his ex friend
" that's none of your concern." You dismissed angrily. " from now on if you even think about laying a finger on my friends, the last person you will see is me" you threatened with a glare . Yamaji gulped at the mention
" let's go" you walk around, beckoning for Gojo to follow you
Gojo stared at Yamaji before smirking and following after you
" god I hate him so much" you rant to Gojo. " [y/n]" Gojo stopped you. You slowly turn around
" he didn't hit me" Gojo reassured. You were confused, forgetting he was the strongest. " this morning I stumbled upon a cat and I tried to touch it with my infinity off" Gojo explained, pointing to his scar
You didn't know how to react. You laughed a bit, " oh my god" you regret your actions
" now I'm embarrassed" you erupt into more laughter, pushing Gojo's shoulder playfully. Gojo smiled uncontrollably
" well you didn't let me explain" Gojo whistled, " true" you remembered not giving Gojo space to talk
There was some silence before Gojo decided to talk, " wanna grab some breakfast?"

" so that's where you ran of" Shoko washed her hands. You stretched your leg, " yeah sorry for leaving you" you apologise to Shoko
" you've been hanging with Gojo a lot.." Shoko made a casual comment. You didn't get the hints she was giving you
" not on purpose, everywhere I go it's like his there..." you explain. It was true, he would always appear when you needed someone there. It was odd
" anyways, Utahime was pleading to see you" Shoko played her cards slowly
" sounds like her." You chuckle, knowing the girl too well
" how did you guys meet anyway?" Shoko was merely curious. Your lips dragged upwards upon remembering the memories
" childhood friends and when I moved we became pen pals and now we are inseparable" you ranted about the friendship
" wow you guys must be really close" Shoko dried her hands, trying to wipe her uniform. " of course" you chuckle, stretching your arms
" honestly I wish I had close friends" those words slipped out Shoko's lips. You were confused, wasn't Gojo and Geto her close friends?
Shoko looked gloomy and you didn't want to spoil the mood any further. " well we can be close" you offer, giving your hand to Shoko
" I feel like we already are" Shoko agreed, smiling while taking your hand
" by the way do you have wipes? This stain won't get off my uniform" Shoko showed. " not on me but I can ask someone else?" You offered
" I have wipes" you heard a voice you didn't recognise. You turn back and see a blonde haired man
" Nanami? Back already?" Shoko's tone was cheery as she received the wipes from the man
" an occasional visit " the man grumbled. He glanced at you and nodded slightly as if he was greeting you
" [y/n] this is Nanami, a fellow classmate who works half the time, Nanami this is [y/n], a new student here" Shoko did the introductions
" nice to meet you" you bow while Nanami did the same, " likewise, how are you finding the school?" Nanami politely asked
" it's been a bit tough" you admit honestly. Nanami seemed to relate, " I hope it gets better. "
" thank you" you could only reply
" oh Nanami how's work?"
——— LATER
You stood in Yaga's office. Awaiting a answer from the man who had been silently reviewing the creepy letter for too long
There was some silence before Yaga loudly sighed
" there's not much we can do" Yaga placed the note down. " really?" You sighed, feeling disappointment
" if you receive more notes, let me know but... I don't sense anything, no traces or anything on this note so it shouldn't be a big problem" Yaga elaborated further
You nodded and took the note back, understanding the circumstances , " thank you anyway" you murmur. Yaga stares at you for a moment
" I also have another mission for you" Yaga handed you another paper
" what grade?" You took the paper in your hands. Yaga replied,
" it's a special grade"
