PRESENT
" what are you doing out here?" Reina, as expected, completely ignored you. " just training with [y/n]" Gojo explained
" why at night? Shouldn't you be catching up on your sleep?" Shoko placed a hand on her hip. " trust me Shoko, you need more sleep than the rest of us" you comment
" Is it obvious" Shoko cupped her eye bags. " sort of" Reina agreed
" but anyway, talking about tonight, have you forgotten Satoru?" Reina looked back at the man
" forgot what..?" Gojo was clueless
" you said I could come to your house today, remember? Have you forgotten what day it is?" Reina gave no context
'Why is she going to his house?' Your eyebrows were furrowed while you silently observed.
Reina gave you a smirk, having something sinister planned.
" oh right. My bad, I'll make it up to you" Gojo stood up. Your stomach felt uneasy while you watched Gojo smile widely. 'Make it up to her?' What were they going to do?
No matter how many times you tried to think of positive thoughts, every thing seemed like he was moving on from you.
Perhaps he was happier with her.
" [y/n]?" Shoko spoke. You look up, realising how much you zoned out. " they are gone, you should go home" Shoko weakly smiled, waving to you
" oh yeah" you compose yourself, standing up

Your face was buried in your pillow while you looked at useless things on your phone. You looked at your schedule and sat up
Tomorrow would be your meet up with Nanami. Luckily you noted it down, you almost forgot. Maybe hanging out with him would ease your mind
Before you could exit the calendar app, you heard a buzzing notification at the top of your screen. For some reason, it was an unknown number
Thinking it was a scammer, you stilled picked up in case it was the people you were expecting.
" hello?" You answered the call. For a while there was a few seconds of silence but then a voice spoke out
" i had fun" you recognised that voice
Your smile dropped. It was Reina. And you were met with another voice. " if that's what you call fun. Then sure" Gojo spoke, his tone seeming normal.
Their voices were weirdly clear, indicating the phone could be on a table or lap. You wanted to hang up. You really did, it was clearly a butt dial yet you wanted to know what they were doing.
You placed the phone on speaker, anxiously listening to their conversation
" Satoru...I have something to confess" Reina's voice was more whiney. " hm?" Gojo hummed from the other line
" I've liked you for a while." She confesses.
You knew it. Your heart drops. What would Gojo say? Would he confess his love for her?
Your heart was pumping out of your chest. " I like you too Reina" Gojo confirmed your suspicions
Your heart quenches. It's uncomfortable. You wanted to dig your heart out.
You hang up the call almost immediately , throwing your phone away from your hand. Was this real? Did he really just confess back?
Was this a dream? You couldn't help but feel anger. You had hoped he moved on from you but it still hurt to hear it
Why? Was this a sign for you? You should've never listened to the phone call.
Your knees are brought up to your chest while you stare at the ground. Seeing the very person you love, love someone else, hurt.
Even though you were meant to be happy for them, you found yourself resenting the both of them.
| THE NEXT DAY
" here are the files" Nanami passed you the papers. You take the paper, eyes scanning through the contents
" I tried the best I could. But I could've done more" Nanami felt defenceless
" this is more than enough, thank you" you clip the documents together. Nanami nods, picking up his beverage to drink
Your mind was still scarred from yesterday. You had no idea whether you were hallucinating before yet it all seemed real.
" Nanami. I have a question" you spoke up. Nanami looked straight at you, sensing something wrong
" how much do you know about Reina..?" You questioned. Nanami is slightly confused at your question but decides to answer
" her? She's a few years older than me. I overheard she had a rough childhood before she finally enrolled to be a teacher" Nanami cupped his tea carefully
" her parents died in a freak accident. She had been homeless for a while...fighting to survive the curses and people. But I think Gojo found her and saved her from being a weapon" Nanami story told, his tone firm and serious
Oh. You didn't know. Gojo saved her? No wonder she had an attachment to him. You and Reina had a lot in common.
How could you blame her? She never stole Gojo from you. You felt guilt overwhelm you. " but that's all I know. Why ask?" Nanami tilted his head
You swallow all your hatred. " no reason" you drank your tea awkwardly. Nanami didn't question it.
" we'll meet up again to talk more" Nanami placed his cup down. " of course" you nod, looking around the restaurant
Nanami did the same, briefly looking at his watch from time to time
" unfortunately, I have work soon, so it was nice chatting with you, if I have more information, I'll update you" Nanami stood up, giving you money to pay for everything
You nodded and watched him carry his coat and umbrella outside.
You clutched the tea handle of your drink. Reina had suffered so much. The least she deserves is happiness. You couldn't be selfish.
In a way, you two could've been friends. But of course she would never stand in a 5-meter radius with you.
You finished the last drop of your cup. Was Gojo with her right now? What could they be doing now. Your hands anxiously fiddle with the tea handle while you tried your hardest to think of something not heart wrenching
You sat there, waiting for another person. Silently like always, you scratch the skin on your hands furiously.
| LATER
You stare at the place in front of you. A sense of deja vu ran into you. The place was too familiar. You knew the address was correct and with a hood over your head you travelled inside
The place was disguised as a normal hotel. You stare at the normal people chatting their head away. Looking for a specific person, you see a red haired woman typing away on her computer.
Travelling to the reception table you place your card on the counter. " where is he?" You ordered to the receptionist without any context
" who are you talking about?" The woman stared confusingly. You slipped a paper to the lady and she stared at the note
" sorry ma'am, right this way" the woman looked terrified, standing straight and immediately guiding you to your destination
" I'm sorry for being rude before- just please put in a good word for me" the woman prayed to you. You shared no sympathy, keeping a poker face
You had passed endless tables of drunk men and women. They all betted their savings away to impossible to win games
You scoffed at their behaviour. " through this door ma'am" the lady bowed and walked away.
Wasting no time you kicked the door open. The doors swung loudly, clashing with the wall. Everyone faces their head to you.
They knew you meant business.
" you finally made it" a man in a suit opens his arms for you. Around him many people gathered around, betting their tokens for big money
" are we going to talk alone or what?" Your voice was demanding and threatening. The man snickered and beckoned everyone in the room to leave
One by one everyone passed you and soon you were left alone with the figure.
" what's the intel" The man grabbed a cigarette, smoking profusely.
You tossed the papers on the green table. " great work [y/n], I knew I could count on you." the man praised
" don't flatter me. You know what I want" you crossed your arms, standing your ground. In front of you was the infamous boss you worked for. No body knew you were working for him and you didn't plan on telling anybody.
" of course" the boss piled the documents together
" you're here because of your target" smoke escaped the man's lips after he laughed. He knew you were here for the reward of killing someone.
All the compassion you had was long gone by now.
Of course. Your target, the one the infamous boss had been trying to kill for decades. The one you had been assigned to kill.
" your target..." the boss repeated, handing you a photo of the person. You look at the person in the picture with stern eyes.
" Gojo Satoru."
