[ FINAL DAY ]
You wake up abruptly, noticing the darkness of the room you were in. The room was spacious which told you it wasn't your own
You turn to your side, feeling a arm draped over you. Of course it's Satoru's. The man who laid beside you.
If you knew mornings like this were this peaceful, you would've savoured every moment of it, you wanted it last forever.
Seeing Gojo relaxed you . It made you realise just how gorgeous he was. A fact you denied constantly
Eventually you had to get up for the day. You tried to spring out of bed in a slow motion, trying not to stir Gojo awake
Your plans were crushed when Gojo began to tighten his grip on you as if he was aware, " where are you going?" Gojo secures you in his arms
You turn around smiling, " I was going back to my house to change-"
" no, stay please...just a little while longer" Gojo muttered, his hands pulling you closely back to him. " clingy are we?" It was your turn to tease him
" yeah...so soft and warm" Gojo grumbled, his head resting on your shoulder
" okay...five more minutes. Then I'm running out of here" you pretend to threaten. You hear no response from Gojo, an indicator that he had fallen back asleep
Collecting your thoughts, you knew the reality you were in, felt cruel. Maybe you were undeserving of Gojo.
You found yourself combing through Gojo's hair, your mind still lingering back to the letter and message you received
——— LATER
" you didn't have to do that you know?" You tease to Gojo who had brought you a giant bouquet of flowers back at his house
" I did. Besides it's judgement day" Gojo prepared. You had forgotten it was, tha last day of your trial being together. You honestly considered loving again. Maybe Yamaji was a bad example.
Time went by really quickly.
" forgot about that" you comment
" well do you have any plans today?" Gojo took his chance. You look back at Gojo, " I have to make a report on my mission and after that, I'm probably free tonight, again." You explained your timetable
" great, can I take you out?" Gojo wasted no time
You chuckle, " well I can't say no to you" you agree. Gojo's eyes were glued on you. He took the initiative to hold your hand by simply using a pinky first
You seemed to understand his goals and you let him hold your hand momentarily .
In the mere distance as you walked with Gojo you spotted someone waving to you. " Shoko?" You walked to the brown haired girl, immediately slipping out of Gojo's grip
Gojo pouted like a mad child when you walked away
" [y/n]! Hi...and hello to you Satoru" Shoko excitedly greeted you with Gojo behind you
" doing well. Do you know where Suguru is?" You were curious. " a mission" she answered back
" damn...that's a shame. there's been so many missions lately" you stressed. " it's a stressful season" Gojo placed his hands in his pockets
" I suppose you are right" you turn around.
" oh do you guys wanna get some snacks? We can save some for Suguru!" Shoko thought of an excellent idea. You and Gojo both agree
——— LATER
" aw!" Gojo almost broke the claw machine. You and Shoko had finished with your mini shopping haul to see the giant man hover over a machine
" what are you doing Satoru." You called, the man giving you a cheeky grin in response
" thought it be nice to win you a prize" Gojo pointed at the glass window. You and Shoko look at the prizes inside
" there's fortunes inside too" Shoko shrugged, placing her plastic bags down
" how exciting" you used some commentary
" let me try" you thought it'd be worth a shot. Your eyes were laser focused when you moved the lever. " not now.." you heard Gojo's voice
" I think now" Gojo pressured you. You listened to him, pressing the button. You ended up grabbing the round ball. " oh my god!" You and Gojo both squeal
" don't celebrate too early—"
It was like Shoko jinxed you and the ball fell right back down. " oh my god! You jinxed me!" You pointed to Shoko
" hey! You listened to the loser over there!" Shoko playfully pointed. " why are you guys blaming me?" Gojo was quick to defend himself
" because I listened to you!" You move out of the way so Shoko could give it one last shot
" well that's a you problem" Gojo argued, mocking you jokingly. You chuckle, giving Shoko a coin to play the machine before spectating around her
Shoko's hands were steady, slowly moving. " now.." she slowly told herself when pressing the button. You and Gojo's face were almost pressed against the window
" what are you guys doing?"—-
In sync, you, Shoko and Gojo jumped at the sound
" Nanami?!?" Gojo exclaimed, seeing the stoic man behind him
You look back at the claw machine after the momentary distraction and see the claw actually caught something and dropped it at the bottom
" YES!" You shook Shoko in excitement as she celebrated. " oh my god" Gojo turned back to see the commotion, seeing the prize drop down
" Nanami you lucky bastard!" Shoko pointed to the clueless man
" okay..? See you guys later" Nanami tried to dismiss, shuffling away discreetly after Shoko pointed at him so suddenly
" I wonder what we got!" Gojo tried to see what you grabbed from under the machine, " this is yours Shoko—"
" nah you gave me the coin, I won it for you" Shoko passed on your offer before you could even finish your sentence
" oh really..?" You stare at Shoko's unmoving body. " well if you're not going to open it, I will-"
" nope I will" you push Gojo's hand away, opening the plastic ball. Everyone hovered over the ball you held as you opened it
Inside was a bracelet and a piece of paper. Gojo and Shoko both grabbed the bracelets and mused about it while you opened the paper without their knowledge
Expecting a cheesy or cliche quote, your eyes scan the words, " stop running away"
Your fingers felt like trembling when you red them. What the hell? How was this even possible?
You tear the paper to pieces, regaining the focus of Gojo and Shoko, " huh what did it say?" They both asked you
" nothing important" you cracked out
——— LATER
This was the place. You couldn't run away from the messages you received. You had to face it, the person behind everything.
You remembered the picture the unknown number sent. Something in the place provoked fear within you and you didn't know why
You turn around an empty alleyway and see a figure in black resting on the wall. It was the person that had been expecting you, they seemed to be waiting for you patiently
" you wanted to see me?" You broke the silence, not running away. The figure glances at you and starts to walk towards you
Your hands clutch into fists, a key in your hands in case you needed to stab the person. You didn't know their intentions.
" [y/n]." They called your name.
" how do you know my name?" You tried to see the person inside the hoodie. It was too dark to do so. " I know a lot about you" the person starts
" bullshit" you take one step back, refusing to believe a single word
" for example your parents.." they ended up saying
Your senses were heightened in the face of danger, just what were these person's intentions?
" I know that night your parents died, I was there" the person reveals...you couldn't believe your ears, were they messing with you?
"how do I know your telling the truth?" You curse, taking another step back
" I know your parents turned into curses...ah that's right, you probably thought it was a dream, right?" You stop in your tracks. Curses!!?! So that wasn't a dream. Wait how did you know? You never told anyone—-
" by the shock on your face I was right, I gave you that dream, in fact when you were at the library for a mission, I tampered with your mind. You see I won't reveal my curse technique now but...I'm here to give you some valuable information-"
" but there's a catch right? Well I'm not listening" you didn't want to make a bad decision by staying, turning around
" there is no catch...I'm here to help you...and maybe you know a Satoru Gojo..?" That name. You hoist around, mortified
" the boy with the six eyes, you and him are close no? That's what I gathered with these pictures" the person pointed to a clear picture of you and Gojo.
" what do you want?" You get to the point, having Gojo already being dragged into this situation, you had to intervene
" well I'm just surprised you are close with that man..considering he witnessed your parents turn into curses"—
" wh— what?" You murmur, in utter disbelief
" yeah, he had so much time to save them yet he didn't and he ended up killing them" the person ranted, you felt tears whelm up in your eyes
That wasn't true, it couldn't be.
" he wouldn't— why would I believe you?" You were in denial, yelling at the person ahead of you.
How could the gentle man you've come to known do such a thing? the person had to be lying, right? He didn't mean the man you woke up with and laughed with this morning, right?
" look I don't really care if you believe me, I thought you should know the truth...if you really want to test him, give him this picture"
The person tossed a picture in your hands. You glance at the old image and realise it was a picture of your parents
" no.."
