Book Review: ‘HIGEHIRO’ #2
Tumblr media
Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway, Vol. 2 (light novel) (Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway by Shimesaba My rating: 4 of 5 stars Sayu, frantically running away from her past, has run so far and so fast such that she has forgotten to allay herself of the benefits of having run away in the first place. That is not to say she hasn't indulged in the freedom of movement and behavior; rather, she has neglected to explore the emotional latitude one often earns for oneself when finally unshackled by the presumptions of home. HIGEHIRO v2 pivots, holding Sayu responsible for her actions and forcing her to confront the fragility she hides with five different dishonest smiles. Also, Yoshida's work life is getting more hectic. Also, Sayu snags a part-time job and makes new friends. Also, more folks within Yoshida's inner circle are clued into his home situation. Also, an adulterer barges back into Sayu's life. More and more developments layer the precedent, and readers are left to wonder how long it'll be until Sayu, or Yoshida, or any of the supporting cast, breaks down. HIGEHIRO v2 is about surviving the fiery backdraft of emotions left unattended for far too long. The novel isn't a tearjerker, but it's definitely heartbreaking on multiple accounts. It's a reality check, and nobody emerges unscathed. The expanding number of characters with baggage and a hustle and misconceptions about social propriety grows with each chapter. This novel series' premise hasn't changed. The tale of a "nice guy" office worker trying his best in spite of the world's emergent ills remains the primary theme. But the deeper readers wade into Yoshida's life, the more they come to find he's an aberration in more ways than one. In HIGEHIRO v2, Yoshida butts heads with characters whose perception of the world is falsely colored according to what they desire most. Airi Gotou is still the object of the young man's affections, but the woman's pretentious virtue nearly wrenches their whole dynamic off course. Mishima, Yoshida's kohai, still pines for her do-gooder colleague, but her indecisive disposition marks her for one who can never attain what she needs because she never voices what she wants. This is a character study on down the line. New characters are not immune to these clashes with reality. Asami Yuuki, for example, is a casual gyaru and one of Sayu's coworkers at a local corner store. The girl is a brilliant high-school student whose home life is the telltale consequence of neglectful parenting. The connections she makes, and the ruptures she inveighs, are direct consequences of these experiences. HIGEHIRO v2 tips its hand a little, strongly implying that Yoshida has found himself dead center in the most undesirable harem in the history of humankind: a gorgeous prude, a lazy and unambitious sidekick, an immature runaway, and a mature latchkey youth. Whether the man will acquiesce to one of these rotten desires, or fold his cards and walk away, is as of yet unknowable.

What was in the bag? G.S.
Pairing: Gojo Satoru x Wife!Reader
wc: 1516 | cw: Gojo is annoying, fem!Reader, Married, Pre established couple, mentions of bounty&death, FLUFF
Description: Gojo's students meet his wife without knowing it's his wife. Spoiler alert, they think you're his mom.
STARTING HERE
You weren’t really a secret per se.. more of underwraps.
Married to Satoru Gojo, strongest man alive in modern times, you were kind of on the radar for multiple things. Bounty’s on your head reaching over 600 million yen, though they’ve never actually gotten you.
And your daughter, it’s even worse. The highest you’ve heard of was 1 Billion yen, but as Satoru always tells you, he wouldn’t have married someone unable to take care of themselves. You were strong on your own, sure, not a special grade, but a high Grade 1.
You were more than capable of taking care of your family.
“Sora, ready to go?” You coo at her, looking down at her. She babbles in responde, kicking her legs and thrusting them up and down. It’s quite funny.
You are wearing a big hat, large sunglasses and a mask, your 5 month old daughter only wearing the hat and glasses. Her body facing your chest.
A large, garbage bag sits at the door. You recall Satoru texting you to bring it to the school because he forgot it, so with a sigh, you take it in your hand.
It’s heavy, but not unbearably so.
You embark on your journey to the school, which was only about two miles away if you walked, so it was nothing. The only thing concerning you at the moment would be the summer heat beating down on the two of you, wondering if it would be too hot for the small child, but you push on.
“Okay Sora, you have to be good.” You tell her, her big blue eyes staring into yours as you slip on her small glasses. Her hands go up to her face, trying to take them off, but you stop her. That’s when she begins to whine.
“Sora,” you sigh, pressing the hat further down your head. You want to chuckle at her pouty face, her white hair curling over the rim of her small sun hat. You step out of the house into the sun, the large trash bag in your hand. “We’re going to see Papa, but you need to be a good girl.” You tell her, your free hand patting her back, her front pressed onto you from the carrier she’s strapped to that brings you two together.
Immediately, her small whines stop. She looks up at you, her mouth slightly open. “Yes, your papa is at work, and we will visit him.” You tell her in a higher pitch, and she begins to babble out of happiness once more.
It’s been about thirty minutes, Sora taking a nap and you still holding the trash bag. You gain many stares, but you don’t seem to care.
Behind you, someone creeps up. You can feel an immense amount of cursed energy from him, causing you to tense up, and you’re sure Sora can feel it too as she begins to whine again.
“Excuse me?” The person begins, and you assume the person behind you is male from their tone. To turn around, eyebrows furrowed and free hand to your baby's head, pressing her further into you.
“You seemed to be struggling with the bag, so I—” he stammers, and you really look at him. No evil intentions, but that dangerous cursed energy coming from him alarms you.
He’s got pink hair, and a very child-like face. His hand is at the back of his head, scratching awkwardly. You take notice of his uniform, and all that tenseness dissipates. “Are you a Jujutsu Sorcerer?” You ask him, and his eyes go wide.
He shakes his head, hands thrown up. “No-! No, no! I’m— a student! From Sendai, I’m on my way to school!”
You deadpan, he’s clearly lying. Raising an eyebrow, you scoff, “Sendai? What are you doing here in Tokyo. And anyway,” you glance at his uniform, the head holding Sora’s head presses on one of the gold buttons, “I know a Jujutsu Sorcerer’s uniform when I see one. No need to lie, I’m one too.” You confess, finger to your lips(though they’re covered by the mask) like you just told him a secret.
“O-oh! I feel a little embarrassed now..” he tells you bashfully.
“Are you a first year?”
He blinks, nodding slow. “Yeah, I am.”
“Great! Where is Satoru Gojo?” You ask him, and again, he blinks. “I think… he went to get some dessert.”
You groan, readjusting your hat further down.
He leans down, taking the bag from you before stumbling from its weight.
‘She was carrying this!?’
He smiles, re-adjusting it in his hold, then thanking God for his strength.
“If it’s too heavy you can leave it on the ground.” You grumble, sitting under a tree on the stone ledge that surrounds it. The two of you sit under the shade, and Sora, now fully awake, is kicking her legs out. You pull her from the carrier, still facing you, you bounce her on your knee.
The two of you still adorned in your heavy disguises as another person comes by. A girl, wearing a Jujutsu Uniform, brown hair— though clearly dyed— cut into a cute bob. You chuckle, it reminds you of Shoko.
“What’s taking you so long— OHMYGOD!?” She shouts, staring at you. You probably scared her.. you think, but when she steps to you, kneeling to you and asking if you were a celebrity, sweat drops.
“Hm?”
“I'm asking if you’re a celebrity. A model? Maybe an actress.”
You find yourself laughing, shaking your head at her antics. “No, I’m afraid not.”
“A singer! See you have a very nice voice.”
Your head tilts, confused with a hint of embarrassment— though you end up laughing it off— it seems they don’t know who you are.
Sora, still in your arms, is again pressing her hands to her face, knocking her glasses off.
The girl, which you still haven't learned her name, bends down, picking up her glasses and when she leans back up, she sees Sora, looking down at her. Her big blue eyes staring back into the sorceress’ brown ones.
“Holy shit.” She murmurs, wordlessly giving you back her glasses. You stare puzzled, watching as she stands up and walks back to the other boy.
“That— that woman is Gojo’s MOM! She must've been hit by a curse that takes her to the future, because the baby she’s holding is a literal baby Gojo!” Nobara informs Yuuji in whisper, who shakes his head at her.
“No way,” he glances back at you and Sora, who is now tearing off her head revealing her snow white hair. She blinks at him, showcasing her beautiful eyes— identical to his teacher's— and he gapes.
“See! I told you!” She whispers back.
What they don’t realize is that their teacher is looming over them. “What’re you two whispering about?” He asks with a teasing grin, his hands in his pockets, around his arm is a paper bag of Kikufuku.
“Your mom!” Yuuji and Nobara tell him, pointing to the disguised woman. They still haven’t seen her face, but the baby was enough evidence for them.
Megumi stares at them like their idiots, even worse when he watches what his teacher and caretaker does next.
He glances at the woman, then smiling. “Mommy!” He shouts, walking up to her with a wave.
You look up and frown. His students stare at the supposed reunion with him and his mother, his hands to your face pulling off your glasses, then your hat, then ripping your mask off. The three are unable to see your face, though Megumi already knows what you look like.
He leans down, pressing a kiss to your lips, then one to the top of the Sora’s head. Still, his students can’t see your face, but their faces are disgusted. “What the hell do you do with your mom?” They asked, Megumi glancing at them like they were stupid.
Satoru laughs, “That’s the beautiful Mommy of my child,” he tells them, watching them go from relaxed to pure shock.
“WHAT YOU DIDN’T TELL US?! AND YOU HAVE A KID?!"
“NO ONE KNEW?!”
“Megumi knew!” Satoru chirps, and the boy’s friends turned to him. “You knew he was married and didn’t say anything.”
“That guy has nothing to do with me.” Megumi tells them, rolling his eyes at his friends interrogating him.
They’re extremely loud, loud wnough to the poiny where tou’re getting embarrassed.
“Excuse me?” You speak up, and they all turn to you. Your face on full display, and this causes them to gape further. “Could you guys be just a little bit more—”
“HOW DID YOU BAG THAT GOJO-SENSEI?!” Nobara asks, pointing at you them him.
He laughs, throwing his head back at the chaos.
Megumi shakes his head, and you stand up, Sora back in the carrier. You take Megumi and walk off with a sigh, still able to hear their screams in the distance along with Satoru’s laughter.
“What was in the bag?” Megumi asks in a disinterested tone.
You, looking ahead, think about it before shrugging.
“No clue.”

Valentines Special
A little something for the masses 🤍💌 Happy Valentines Day everyone 🤍🤍🤍
Tumblr media
“Two of whatever just came out.” Sukuna knew what came out, it was Friday on Friday they made snickerdoodles fresh. The smell always filled the school entrance and shoe locker room pulling students in to buy. He was always there just in time for the old to sell out and the fresh to come out. The same amount every day 143 yen, he kept the exact change daily in the stupid little coin pocket of his wallet. The jingle of his wallet while he took out the coins was always accompanied by the whispers and giggles of girls when Gojo Satoru would make his daily appearance gracing everyone with his cheeky smile, hands stuffed into his pockets, crude remarks being passed off as flirting.
“Thanks for that.” Gojo slid the pack of cookies Sukuna was about to pay for toward himself, “Fuck of Satoru don’t touch my shit unless your looking to lose the hand you jack off with.” Sukuna slammed the coins on the counter, snatching the pack away from him before walking away. He didn’t care to listen to whatever Gojo was screaming back at him, he had his own stuff to worry about, that stuff being finding you before you started running late to your class. Sure he was late to his classes but a teacher wouldn’t say a damn thing once they saw his face. But you, you were a mess. He didn’t understand what you saw in being Student Body President. You show up early to school, skip breakfast because your sense of time is shitty, stay late after school and always look so tired after dealing with incompetent fools. At lunch it’d be a miracle for you to eat on your own, more often than not he’s dragging you to the school's garden and feeding you whatever you packed him for lunch. And when it’s the right season, whatever fruit he can steal from the garden.
Perfect timing as always, he caught you running up the stairs. You stopped smiling up at him, he was at the top staring down at you, eyebrow raised at why you were holding your skirt down like you could flash anyone. Why were you wearing one of those slutty mini skirts anyways, usually only Gojo’s fan girl wore those to catch his eye. He usually saw you in those skirts that were knee length, sometimes ankle length. He liked it like that, you looked different from everyone else, it amused him when you’d grab the front of your skirt hitching it up to run up the stairs, his eyes would always long in your stocking covered squished thighs when you’d raise your skirt too high in a hurry. But this mini skirt, you didn’t miss the change in his face, and you looked down, “My skirt got torn by my desk and this is all the nurse had in the and found.. i don’t know how you lose a skirt really but…”
He sighed, “damnit Y/n you really are a mess ya know.” You watched as he untied the black sweater from his waist. He moved to stand behind you, one step down, “Ya know how many fucking perverts are in this damn school just waiting to get an up shot of some girls underwear.” You felt his arms come around your waist and you moved your hands away watching as he tied a knot with the sleeves, “It’s disgusting.” He didn’t move away, your hands rested on his around your waist, you felt him rest his chin on your shoulder, “What happens if one day I’m not here to take care of you huh?” You turned your face to look at him, his red eyes were staring down at you. You did your best to kiss his cheek, “I’ll just have to suffer alone Kuna.” He scoffed at you, “whatever.”
You couldn’t help the smile when you pressed your lips to his cheek again, your lips lingering and he hummed before moving to face you, catching your lips. You let your head fall back against his shoulder, smiling up at him, his eyes were lidded with a lazy smile. The warning bell pulled you out of your little lovey staring contest, “Change that skirt when you get the chance or I’m killing the first pervert to look up your skirt.” You rushed up the stairs and he leisurely followed behind til you made it to your class. He never failed to eye your class out of judgement, more specifically looking for that dumbass Gojo that was in your class. He was always ready to get into a fight with that prissy twink. You watched him make a face and looked into your class, there was Gojo Satoru, staring right at your boyfriend with a frown of his own. Between the two it was like watching an adolescent Snow Leopard and Tiger getting ready to fight for a fresh meal. What would you expect from two of the most well known families in your city? Satoru’s family was well into being wealthy, their lineage producing world class Models and successful doctors, it was no surprise when on show and tell in elementary school Satoru brought in magazine’s of a white haired blue eyed child saying he was a baby/toddler model. As for Sukuna’s family, they have a much longer history in this city then Satoru’s. Trumping Satoru’s family in wealth, but what would you expect from a family who had long been dedicated to beating the head of a successful and thriving branch of the Yakuza.
You remember the first time you met Sukuna’s father. Sukuna had taken you out to buy a traditional kimono, get your hair done with jade combs and pins. Telling you about how his father was a very traditional man with values such as, respect your elders and those above you, never steal or wrong the everyday man or woman, never disrupt the harmony of your family or those around you, never become involved with drugs and always act chivalrously. You admired the way he talked about his dad, he looked up to him with respect, admiration so you agreed to do the best you could.
His house was not just a house, it was a Shinden Zukuri, it was massive, and glorious. It was exactly what you would have expected from his father from just hearing of him. “It’s…amazing Sukuna.” You turned to look at him and he was smirking down at you, “I know it is.” He led you along the path to one of the entrances and to the Genkan, you slid your shoes off and held onto your bag. Following sukuna further into the house, and out onto the engawa of the home until he stops at another room, he slid the shoji door open telling you to enter. He took your bag, placing it on a shelf against the wall, and you looked around the room. It was almost empty except for the white men's kimono on the kimono rack. You looked at Sukuna. His school shirt was open and he pulled it off, throwing it over your head, “Leave that on.”
you heard the rustle of fabric, all you could see was the white fabric in front of you until we pulled it off of you and you looked up at him, his brow was furrowed as he tried to fix a hair comb that came loose. You could see a part of his chest showing through his Kimono, he leaned closer mumbling something about the comb being difficult. He smelt good, it was masculine but clean, he smelt like a candle he once bought you, Bergamot, Lavender and Cedar. You couldn’t help the little sniff you took and he let out a single laugh pulling away from you, “weirdo.”
You just smiled up at him and he led you further into the “home.” Stopping right outside double sliding doors, “alright, if you’re not ready by now, you’ll never be. So if you're not ready and you fail, sorry to break it to you now you’ll probably never see me again.” He gave you a cheeky smile when he saw your scared and worried expression, “Su-alright no backing out now.” He slid the doors open bowing and greeting his father, and there he was, frozen for a second the man was massive in size and he was only sitting. He was shirtless and covered in tattoos, you swallowed before dropping into a deep bow greeting him and introducing yourself in a calm but confident way. You didn’t look back up until you heard him let out a low chuckle and tell you to stand at ease. Your face was still looking down, if that’s what Sukuna was going to look like when he was older, there was already no doubt in your mind you wanted to marry him but if there was even a smidge or shadow it was gone. Sukuna’s father cleared his throat, “Sit, I want to learn more about the little lady who managed to leash my boy.” Sukuna groaned as he put a hand on your lower back, ushering you forward to sit with him across from his dad…. The rest was history.
The Late bell pulled you from your memory, “I’ll see you-at Lunch yeah yeah go before that teacher Yaga comes in and marks you absent.” He nodded with his head finally looking at you, you smiled. You saw the small twitch in the corner of his lips before he stepped back and started walking to his own class with no haste.
——————
It had been a week since that day but more importantly it was the weekend before valentines. Here you were in your kitchen doing everything to make the perfect gift. You’d gone to the store that morning spending a decent amount of your savings on things to make sweets and bake little things for him. There was no doubt in your mind that just like last year, your boyfriend's locker would be filled with love notes and chocolates that he’d either let you have your choice of or throw away. The love letters, you’d read and go though all the candy bullying him about his little secret admirers before he’d crumple them up throwing them into the trash.
But right now! You were focused on making homemade chocolate filled with red velvet cream, smooth white chocolate, or almonds. You had taste tested so many you finally got the right flavour. They weren’t bitter, but not overly sweet like the store chocolate you watched him make a face at, one time. On the other hand, you had little chocolate heart shaped cookies you’d decorated with royal icing trying to make cute valentines designs. The lines weren’t the cleanest or fanciest but you liked them enough to pack them into a little treat bag with a red bow and a name tag. The Chocolate you packed into a gold box with a bright red satin ribbon. And the little cake tin you chose was a gold tin with a clear top. You wanted to make a milky cake with whipped cream and strawberries. You even bought a bigger bento box to make a special lunch for him, you had it all planned out. It was a three layer bento. Your plan was to stuff him and push him into a food coma for his final class. The first was beef and vegetables with white rice with pickled plum and pickled ginger he always ate like it was nothing. The second layer was tempura shrimp, a pickled cucumber salad and fried rice. The final layer was two egg salad onigiri with sesame snap pea salad. On the side was going to be your cake and a little egg pudding. There was no way he’d be cranky in his last class if he was stuffed to the brim.
——————
“no more…” You watched Sukuna as he dramatically fell over into your lap breathing heavily as he huffed. One arm thrown over his eyes, the other hanging down still holding the onigiri he had yet to bite into. Your hand scratching his head gently, “Happy Valentine's Kuna.” You did your best to angle yourself and lean over to kiss his forehead. You didn't miss the smile on his lips when you pulled away, he held the onigiri up blocking the sun when he uncovered his eyes, the little face you worked so diligently on for him. “Maybe one more.” You watched wide eyes when he stuffed half of it in his mouth before holding it up to your lips, his cheeks puffed out while chewing, it was cute for someone who without a doubt could snap your neck or make anyone cry and want to die with just words without having to raise his voice. He hummed offering to feed you some of the onigiri again and you took a small bite. Before your finger came to pick a grain of rice off his cheek, it was cliche and even worse when he eyed your finger and pulled it to his lips licking the grain off. “Happy Valentine’s Day to me.” His cheeky smile made you break out into a smile when he shoved the last of his rice ball into his mouth struggling to sit up, “damnit, I can’t.” He gave up and laid back in your lap, “I live here now.”
“Wait there’s one mo-no I can't I’m full, look at me.” He patted his stomach with his hands, you didn't see a difference in his fit form, that was until he saw the reflective gold and his eyes widened, “wait!” You watched him wiggling and struggling to sit up, putting a hand on his back to push him up, he made grabby hands at the tin when you pulled it away, “I thought you couldn’t- I can! I lied, I do that sometimes.” He tried to lean over you to grab it but you leaned further, so he did what he would never do publicly. He grabbed you and hauled you over into his lap, wrapping his arms around your waist holding you there, “Now feed me y/n.” He rested his chin on your shoulder looking at the cake. Whipped cream and a heart made of strawberry purée and strawberries, “heh, you do all this for me, pretty girl?” Your smile was big and ungraceful when you laughed at his nose grazing your jaw and neck. “Yes, it’s all for you Sukuna, I wouldn’t do this much for anyone else.” You turned and kissed the side of his temple and he smiled, “cmon open it.” You fed him and he hummed, his chin resting on your shoulder tilting it so it rested against yours.
You sat like this for while feeding him and yourself until the bell rang, he squeezed you holding you against him, “C‘mom even little miss perfect can take a break, let’s stay out here a little longer.” You reluctantly agreed and kept feeding him what was left of the box cake. Eventually he just held you there, smiling and laughing at how you told him your story of how you messed up and your poor parents who had to be taste testers.
Soon the last school bell rang, he opened his eyes just barely glaring at the intercom that played the obnoxious chime. One arm was tucked behind his head, the other around your shoulders holding you against him. He was sitting back leaning against the plum tree the school planted. Your head on his chest, eyes closed with soft breaths, arm draped over his chest. His school coat was over you, he almost didn’t want to wake you, but his back and butt were aching from being in this slouched angle for so long. So slowly he started to sit up, trying to gently wake you, your eyes opening to look up at him. He was so beautiful in the setting sun in your eyes, “What time is it?” Your question went almost unanswered until he pulled out his phone, “it’s time to go home is all that matters.” You didn’t look away from his face and he looked back at you, holding eye contact. “Happy Valentine’s Day Kuna.” Your small tires smile and sleepy eyes squeezed his heart. He leaned in nuzzling his head to yours, “it’s not your day yet but Happy Valentine’s Day Brat.” You closed your eyes smiling until you felt his lips, you were delighted to kiss him back before he sat up pulling away, “we gotta get up my ass is starting to hurt.” You laughed getting up with the help of his outstretched hand, “I guess you’ll just have to take these home with you.” You didn’t miss the flash of excitement in his eyes when you pulled out the gold box of Chocolates and red ribbon tied cookies. You smiled and he grinned like a mad man carefully stuffing them into his bag.
“Ya know brat, I never celebrated Valentines before…” he trailed off and you didn’t miss the hint of pink on his cheeks, it made you smile and take his hand. “Guess I’ll just have to spoil you next year too.” He scoffed looking away but you didn’t miss the way he held on tighter to your hand, “Good because if you think you can just leave your dead wrong.”
It was the full bloom of red on his shocked face when you kissed his cheek so innocently and said “If I leave anything it’ll be my last name,” that assured you in a way he wouldn’t fight you on that subject.

“At Least” S. Gojo
Tumblr media
☆ genre: angst to fluff (kinda)
☆ pairings: Gojo Satoru x f! reader
☆ summary: After Geto left, nothing has been the same. Especially not your relationship with Gojo Satoru. Once you decide to move to Kyoto for good, Gojo is less than pleased. But fate does not seem to want to let you go.
☆ cw: mentions of sex, depressed gojo, not spoiler free, hopping between timelines but like i added non-canon events, smoking, drinking, getting drunk, high school Gojo being a high school boy, cussing, mentions of drunk sex but it doesn’t happen, mentions character death (from the anime), gojo satoru (yes that's a trigger warning).
☆ wc : 5.6k
☆ a/n: this has been in the doing for so long? I've been waiting to have the chance to upload it for maybe a year now smh. Also was originally written for an irl of mine lmao
Tumblr media
“Oh my god,” you emphasize each word, pushing the wooden chair away with your knee. “Satoru, is it yours?”
His black pupils, lined with iris the color of morning skies, study your figure from behind the shaded glasses, pink lips quirking slightly upwards in approval of your attention.
“Nah, it's only staying with me for a week,” he stated, watching nervously as you strode over to him. “His owner is away for some business.”
Your attention remained fixed on the pet in Satoru's long, long arms. Your face lit up when a bark escaped the infant animal. “Can I hold it?”
Satoru watched over you carefully, pleading eyes coming in line with his blues. You make it hard to say anything other than an immediate yes, but he tries to stretch out the conversation to his best ability.
“It's 400 yen for 10 minutes,” he muttered, sarcasm dripping from his words. He earned a look of amusement from you; a small victory. He then braced himself for the next part. Satoru bent down, meeting you eye-to-eye, and noticed your breath catching in anticipation. “Or... you can shorten your skirt.”
Your face took no time to grow hot, not giving any verbal answer besides the blank expression you stare at him with. For a second, Gojo let himself think he's the victor of this little challenge he started in his head. But he soon came to realize how grave of a mistake he's made.
You're not flustered, you're angry.
“You're such a fucking pervert,” you fume, eyes glaring daggers. He dares not move, noticing the way your eyes flutter over his face.
Tumblr media
“You're truly unbelievable,” the shorter male chuckled, making sure he didn't bump into Satoru's now-bruised arm. “What were you even thinking?”
“I thought it was funny, y'know?” He huffed in response. Gojo's fingers ran through his own bright locks as he took a seat on the wood hung up by metal chains. "Besides, has she always been this strong? Physically, I mean."
Geto stared into the reddish sky of dusk, placing himself into a swing in turn and kicking the air so the swing would start moving. "I don't know. Girls are really full of surprises.”
Tumblr media
He never thought, not in a million years, things would come to this. Ever since Gojo's last encounter with Geto after he, well, changed... Gojo became unable to face anyone quite the same way he did before.
How did he get here? How did things escalate to this? Thinking about it, Geto had shown signs of a change in his heart and mind. It was Satoru's fault, was it not? He should have done better. He should have noticed. How could he not have? wasn't he the strongest? Wasn't that his job? How could he be so bad at everything?
How could he fail everyone like this?
“Gojo-San?”
Your feminine voice cut his train of thought. He almost forgot the situation he is now stuck in. He's been doing that a lot: losing himself in thought, mind almost immune to the outer world until he temporarily lost his sense of self. Nothing felt quite the same any more. It was like the world had lost its color.
“Sorry- What's up?” He turned to you. Gojo-san, you called him. When did you stop using his given name? What's with the '-san'? Gojo hadn't realized that losing one person was the first step, and now he found himself deep in the road of losing everyone.
And now he's stuck in the elevator with the girl he had liked for so long. He couldn't find it in himself to say anything to you, to push your buttons like he always did or joke around. When did the world become so heavy? He does not know.
“Are you okay? You seemed off.”
Your face is devoid of any genuine emotion, seemingly expressionless. But your voice is laced with concern. Gojo could only guess you didn't want him thinking you pity him or anything of such. But if that isn't the case, he wouldn't know. He's too tired to bother thinking about it.
“Yeah, yeah. I'm fine,” he smiled in assurance, “Just bothered by, well, this-” he threw his hand in the way of the control panel. The elevator doors have been stuck for almost twenty minutes now. How pleasant.
“uh huh,” you sigh, turning back around. How did you turn so cold?
When the silence stretches, you start a conversation, hesitant at first. “By the way, I got accepted as a helper in a nursery in Kyoto,” you mutter, gaze avoiding his own. “they're expecting me to start work right after spring break.”
Spring break?
Holy shit. It hit him like a truck. That’s barely a week and a half from now.
“Spring break? Why so soon?”
“That’s when the students file back in,” you mumble, fiddling with the watch placed around your wrist. You pause to read the time, then turn to meet his eyes. “I’m leaving in four days to get settled.”
“Oh…” His breath caught, “Train?”
What a stupid question. He knows. Satoru has never been unintelligent, especially in conversing. But now his unintelligence shines through as if it’s his only trait. He’s glad you don’t question it.
“Yeah, I have no other form of transport really.”
“Well, uh…” He hates himself. He hates himself for not doing anything. He hates himself for being so weak and  cowardly, for being unable to keep his friends around him, for shutting everyone he holds close out. But now, he especially hates himself for being unable to feel happy for you, or to congratulate you on the opportunity, “come visit us every once in a while, yeah?”
Your mouth remains shut, only staring at the tall man before your eyes. The silence stretches between the two of you once again, and you don’t find it in you to speak of how you feel.
“You.. you know you could have died, right? We all could have b-but you…” You trail off, thoughts splattered like a spilled pot of ink. Although you seemed unfazed, in your mind you were anything but. Haibara, Riko, and all the losses that trailed and every event that followed has been stressful and nerve-wrecking. And even in the quietness and silence of the general atmosphere, it has been nearly impossible to find peace within yourself.
“Well, I didn’t. What happened had passed. Can you change that? I doubt so. No point in ‘if’ and ‘could’ve’.”
Before you could respond,the lights flickered back on. You grow unsure if you’ve struck a nerve, but that wasn’t what you meant. Gojo’s response had nothing to do with what you said, you were sure he knew exactly what your words were meant for. Why is he so scared of confronting it?
You don’t know. You could never hope to know because you and Gojo Satoru live in different worlds, the man who was only Satoru some time ago. You were worlds apart, yet  Satoru loved to play pretend that he lived in the same world as you, even when he stuck out like a sore thumb. But he was no longer. Ever since Geto left… it’s safe to say everyone has been changing slowly, deforming from their previous lives and personalities. But Satoru flipped, like the head and tail of a coin, he got himself a new face. He turned into Gojo Satoru; the strongest. A soul unalive. A broken boy in an ever growing body. A stranger.
Two days later you find yourself still roaming the campus , searching so desperately for something. Anything. A reason to stay, perhaps? You don’t find it anyway. You have no attachment as this place holds nothing but misery. Or that’s what you told yourself over and over as you packed your things.
Your steps were graceful, walking so cautiously as if careful to not wake someone up. Your fingers find rest on the old, dusty door frame, pushing yourself into the room that hadn’t been used for a good month or so. The classroom looked the same as it always did. Except for the shadow that loomed over it; a gray shade that sent chills down your spine. Or maybe it’s just your imagination. 
Then you spot something rather out of place. You’re sure you’ve never seen it before and although you know it’s none of your business, the way it tugs at the strings of your curiosity is undeniable.
It’s red, poking out of what you’re sure is Gojo’s desk. The gloomy classroom was no fit for paper with a color so vibrant. 
Your heart skips a beat when you glimpse the seat next to Satoru’s. You do your best to avoid looking at Geto’s desk any further. You busy yourself with the task at hand, reaching out for the mysterious paper hidden in the wooden desk. Shivers run up your arm at the texture of the scrunched paper.
You attempt to straighten it to your best ability, strained by his hard work of crumbling it with obvious frustration. you can barely make out the letters of your name in the middle of the paper, outlined by a messy circle. How Gojo of him. A few lines stick out of the ‘circle’, one of them has the name of a steakhouse somewhere in Tokyo. Another has a date, reading somewhere along February. It’s near impossible to make out what the small combination of letters say, especially when Satoru’s handwriting is closer to symbols than a comprehensible language.
The thought of it was so funny it didn’t feel like him at all. Satoru never planned anything. Every breath he took was based on pure impulse. Never would it have occurred to you that he thinks through things, let alone brainstorm.
The thought makes you smile. But the realization that he never asked you out because he changed his mind or everything that happened getting in his way makes your stomach churn unpleasantly. 
You decide it’s probably for the best to never bring it up. It would only make matters worse for both of you. Life ran its course; who are you to try and change it?
Tumblr media
“I apologize, but my answer remains. I refuse to take part in this,” you spoke in an even tone. “I have a job and a life away from jujutsu. I’ve made it clear sorcery is not a part of my life anymore.”
"That’s completely understandable,” the old man argued, his voice hoarse with age. You’re pretty sure you hear anger further straining his voice, “but your technique is quite strong. That strength could be of great assistance if put to use.”
“Thank you, sir,” you dip your head, maintaining eye contact with the decaying man. “But I truly apologize. The decision is final.”
“If you ever do change your mind, please let us know. We’d be more than happy to hear it.”
You almost let a sigh of relief escape. Finally he gave up. You end up only nodding your head in response gratefully, retreating from the old man. As soon as you're safe and out of sight, you let your posture drop, eyes rolling back in annoyance. These guys are truly as relentless as ever.
You stopped upon a familiar scent catching in your nostrils. Lifting your head up, your eyes roam around, scanning the room for your friend.
“You look troubled,” Shoko approaches you, taking the cigarette out from between her teeth. “What’s with the face?”
“How is that man even alive,” you look at her, “he’s ancient.”
Your comment earns a light chuckle from the brunette. “I’m glad I never have to get caught up in this bullshit.”
“Blissed aren’t you,” you roll your eyes as you speak. “I shouldn’t have come in the first place, I knew they were going to do this.”
“It’s alright, you’re all done now. Here-” Your friend then lifts the cigarette up, putting it near your mouth. When you don’t show any resistance she, being the bad influence she has always been, proceeds to place it between your lips. You waste no time, making quick work of the drag you inhale, bringing the familiar cloud of toxic chemicals and tobacco into your lungs. Your expression relaxes, shifting into one of relief. Shoko scoffs playfully, muttering that you’re dramatic under her breath before she pulls her cigarette from you, taking in a drag.
“Satoru’s here, by the way,” Shoko didn’t need to look at you to guess the way your eyes snap towards her. She bites back a smile. “He’s calmed down. He’d even seem the same as long as you don’t squint too hard.”
“Good for him,” you mutter, trying to seem as unbothered and nonchalant as your accelerating heart rate would allow. You avoid looking at Shoko, trying to seem disinterested. You know she’d pretend you weren’t gawking at her the second she said his name.
“He’s trying, you know. He’s just as nervous as you are.”
“‘M not nervous,” you scoff, “For god’s sake. It’s been ten years already.”
Satoru is stressed. He's nervous, as Shoko put it. He’d spent so long trying to ignore the past, pretend the past wasn’t at all. He couldn’t confront it. He didn’t want to. Satoru knows what he’s done, he's aware that he hurt you the last time you two had interacted. And that was ten years ago. He even let you leave without so much as a goodbye. How could he look you in the eye and pretend nothing has ever happened?
Gojo didn’t want to face the consequences of what he’s done. More so what he hasn’t. So many things were left unsaid in the elevator that day. They’ve been hanging over Satoru ever since, weighing his heart down and wearing it out.
What if he’s met by another woman? Ten years change a lot as is. What if the eyes that meet his aren’t yours? What if he finds himself talking to a stranger that carries around your name and features? Of all the horrors Gojo Satoru had faced in his life, nothing caused dread to pool in the pit of his stomach like this thought does.
Shoko seems to find something beyond you interesting. You don’t bother to turn to see as the brunette has always been a little in her own head. She’s probably just dozed off.
“Hey, think you can hold this for me?” Shoko muttered once Gojo crossed her sight. She stands facing you, averting his gaze. “I’ll be right back, nature’s calling.”
From his distance, Gojo couldn’t make out what the two of you were saying. He watched as your shoulders shook, presumably in laughter. Shoko then made her away from you, barely sparing Satoru a glance.
Every step he took felt heavy, weights landing on his shoulders as he moved towards you. He watched smoke emerge from over your head. He didn’t know you smoked. And even though he’s not completely sure what you do for a living now, he’s not expecting any nursery to accept a smoker in their team.
His long strides finally arrived, opting to remain a step behind you. Close enough to make his presence known.
The aura was unmistakable, almost as if it could be physically sensed. You freeze in place, the cigarette remaining a few inches from your lips. Even after he changed his perfume to one a lot more manly and appealing, and clearly grew taller judging by the shadow he cast over you, his presence still had the same strength as it did before. If not stronger. Anyone else would say it’s intimidating. But you find surprising comfort in it.
“That’s going to kill you,” his hand  reached from over your head, making sure to not cause any unnecessary physical contact. His fingers slip the burning cigarette  from your grip. You find yourself unable to make a single move in response, only watching his actions unfold.
He took a step, moving closer, dimming the light from the roll by rubbing it against the metal bars, then throwing it off the balcony. “You’re too young to kill yourself like that.”
“That bitch Shoko set me up,” You hiss, regaining your composure. “Will you look who showed up. You’re killing the ecosystem by throwing waste like this, Gojo.”
Although you haven’t glanced his way yet, You were every bit sure his mouth was quirked in the same smug smirk he wore so much when you were younger. You could even hear it in his voice as he spoke, “You haven’t grown at all, have you?”
“Oh shut it,” you chuckle. “You’re still as immature as ever. How you could be a manchild at 27 is a wonder to me.”
27… It felt so weird to say it out loud. Weren’t you just 17 a few days ago?
“Oh, how you hurt me,” he says in exaggeration, his voice conveying anything but the hurt he claims to feel. “That isn’t very nice of you.”
“That’s rich coming from you,” You say. He laughs a little, you do too. But the silence that follows is not that of a joke. He knew what you’re referring to. Maybe he underestimated your last encounter’s effect on you.
The silence speaks for itself. It’s louder than any conversation you’ve had before. What now? What have we become? Is it of any use to try anymore? Neither of you had an answer to the question that began to surface with this interaction.
The questions remain hung in the air, dimming the atmosphere around you. Was this fate’s doing? Or his karma? Gojo has always been told he’s a god, but how could he be a higher form of life when he struggled so much to hold a conversation?
He’s about to speak again when you cut him off, muttering “here-” as you push your hand down the coat you wore. Your tongue pokes at the inside of your cheek as you search for the anonymous object.
You pull out a worn out paper, grown from what could have been a bright red to an orangish shade. His eyes study as you shove the paper in his  direction, eyes avoiding his gaze at all costs.
Seeing your bashful expression made him rather curious, the contents of the wrinkled paper piquing his interest. He hesitates before he pulls the paper from your hand, half-expecting you to bite him.
The letters were scribbles, almost like they’re straight out of some cult’s ritual,  that with the wrinkles of the worn out paper making reading it next to impossible. Still, he could make out just enough to realize what this paper is. His eyes widened behind the blindfold. It didn’t take much to remember this paper, trivial as it may be.
“You found this- how did you even…?” he trails off, confused.
“I guess I did,” You confirm. He’s unsure if you’re proud of yourself for your rather… interesting discovery. It’s bold of you to pull this out ten whole years later. But he can’t deny the relief he feels that at least this means you don’t completely hate him. For once, he’s truly at loss for words. 
But he wouldn’t let a perfect opportunity like this slide.
“Oh, so you’re in love with me? You’re so obsessed with me that you kept this for so many years, what a loyal fangirl.”
Before he knew it, a weight so crushing landed on his foot. He turned off his infinity around you as a sign of trust. But he soon came to regret his rather unsmart decision. Your foot stomped and crushed his toes. It makes him groan in pain, bending slightly forward.
“Tomorrow, at Narisawa in Minato city, 5:30. I’m leaving for Kyoto in 3 days. Don’t waste your chance again, Gojo Satoru. You’re not getting another one.”
Tumblr media
“I take it you’ve been in love with me ever since?” He leans forward, elbows on the table. “Say, did you fascinate about me?”
“Hmm..” you hum softly at his childish question, “only a little.” You show no signs of interest in his tactics as you sipped the wine in your hand. Undeniably, Gojo is taken aback by your lack of reaction. He hasn’t known you to be so reserved and smart at keeping him on edge. He couldn’t help finding your new behavior enticing.
Is there anything else you’d like to have?” You nodded your head towards the plates sitting on the table, some empty and some half-full. “Or do you wanna do something else before I go back to the hotel?”
“Hmm? Maybe I could join you at the hotel, actually. Surely it’ll be a lot less lonely with me around?”
You’re tempted by his offer, feeling the heat pooling in your stomach. He looked strikingly handsome today. Maybe you were just really lonely and touch starved, or maybe it’s the way his lips quirk as he teases you that makes your brain a little hazy, inappropriate thoughts floating through it and send jolts to your core. Yet, you set your mind on refusing his advances. You haven’t had a decent conversation since high school, for god's sake.
He keeps his eyes set on you, shining before him. You looked glamorous. He’d lie if he said there wasn’t a certain allure to  your matured looks. The years that flew by changed a lot of things about you two, but his breath still catches in his throat when your eyes meet his dreamy blues. The feelings rush back, memories clouding his train of thought. 
He’s sure he’s going to pay. He didn’t mind it at all, what a small price for getting to spend an evening with you. But you surprise him when you bring up that you had already put your card down, courtesy of having been the one to ask him out. Or maybe this was your way of telling him that you are in pretty good condition, living perfectly well without needing sorcery.
“How’s working as a jujutsu teacher?” you quip, smiling softly. “Utahime says you’ve got some interesting kids in your pack? Two special grades, too. You’re sure a favorite attraction for wonders.”
“You’re still in contact with her too?” he dodges talking about his students, not meeting your gaze. “That’s ironic. Weren’t we friends too?”
A hoarse chuckle emerges from him. But nothing about it leads back to amusement, as it was a joyless sound devoid of life. Almost as if he were mocking you. The dark lenses of the shades sitting on the bridge of his nose served as a shield. He curses himself for being so weak. He's almost thirty but somehow you’ve got him acting like he did when he was 17. 
“You didn’t try to contact me either,” you shrug, not willing to take the blame for your lack of contact. 
“You could have visited then. Even Yaga talked about you every once in a while,” he isn’t too happy and it’s showing.
“All good things, I hope-“
“Don’t change the subject,” he frowns, an uneasy edge outlining his words. “He was enough. You didn’t have to go ahead and leave too.”
“I had to move on, Gojo,” the name felt like a jab every time you used it. He couldn’t bring himself to say anything about it. This is how you drew your boundaries. Calling them by their last names gives you a false sense of satisfaction, convincing yourself that your sorcerer friends are past figures now. Mere acquaintances. 
“-I couldn’t remain hung there forever, I valued my mental health. You grew distant, the atmosphere was growing uneasy every day. I had to cut ties with Jujutsu before I couldn’t recognize myself anymore.”
“Yet you’re here now. Back to square one,” his playful tone was long gone, now replaced by an even, stern one. “Whether you moved away or called us by our last names. It’s a curse you can’t escape. you’ll always end up back in the palms or jujutsu.”
His words held some truth. You know that. But just as he refused to confront this past, you repulsed the idea of your reality. You truly want to believe that you could escape this part of yourself and live a normal life. You couldn’t come to terms with your inability. You held onto your hopes as if your sanity completely depended on it. Another thing that won’t change no matter how much you grew.
“I'll be okay as long as I refuse to interact with this world.”
Once you leave the restaurant, you find yourself wandering through the rich streets of Minato city. It felt as though the night was pulling you further into its welcoming embrace, with nothing rushing you.
“He was only thirteen,” you chuckle, arm linked in his. “It’s unbelievable how bold kids nowadays are.”
“I would’ve done the same thing, honestly,” he smirks, his gaze fixed on the stores around.
“Of course. You’ve got the brains of a thirteen year old.”
Satoru grins at your remark, pulling you into a clothes store. 
“What’s this?” you look around in confusion, noting a woman in a suit welcoming you. The place looked a little too fancy, judging by the display of the items and the lighting of the place.
“It’s a western brand,” Satoru answers. Looking over at him, you can’t help but smile a little. He looks good tonight. His fancy outfit gave the impression that he’s a model to strangers. “Louis Vuitton, I think,” He furrows his brows, trying to remember the name of the brand stores he’s been to with Nobara and Shoko.
“Prada, sir,” The lady in a suit corrected him. “Can I help you?”
“We’re just browsing, thank you.” It’s a phrase he heard from Kugisaki countless times whenever they wandered into a store. His response makes you chuckle, watching as the lady takes a few steps backwards politely.
You’re soon comfortable, searching through the expensive coats and bags. Satoru watched tenderly. Even though the ten years that passed with no contact whatsoever definitely propose a wall between you, he's glad you're able to feel free. You might nit on the same page, but you two can work with what you have.
You stride back to the “S” shaped velvet couch sat in the middle of the checker-carpet store, where Satoru sat. But he was nowhere to be seen.
You walk around in hesitance and confusion, completely aware of the lady walking always a few feet behind you. Surveillance, you guess.
You find him standing in front of the white counter, taking a black bag with the brand’s name printed onto it in golden letters from the man standing behind the counter in a white shirt with the brand's logo on it.
“Gojo,” you call him, confusion fused into your expression.
He extends his arm to you, trying to suppress any sourness at you calling him Gojo. “Let’s go?”
You nod, eyeing him suspiciously before you link your arm in his. You make sure to flash a grateful smile at the woman by the door as you walk past the reflective glass door.
You almost forgot how busy the world outside is. It felt as though the glass building of the store was sound proof. Now you have to adjust to the noise of the full streets again.
Satoru remains silent for the most part. It’s not awkward, rather just neither of you knew what to say. He expected you to ask about what he bought, which you have considered. You decide against it though as you feel it’s none of your business. You’re not too surprised anyway as Gojo has always been a wealthy man. He could buy the entire Prada chain with half of his monthly spending.
“What do you wanna do now?” He asks. “Wanna go somewhere else?”
You think about going to the club to give the night the best closure. But neither of you were dressed for it anyway. You contemplate your choices. Then you grin at him, and Satoru knows it’s best to fear what comes after
Tumblr media
You’re well aware that he has a high alcohol tolerance. While you would be wasted a few shots in. Yet you consumed so many drinks recklessly, thinking that maybe you could beat him in a drinking game.
That’s why he’s stuck to your side now, helping your sleeping body out of his car. Satoru is glad your hotel card was so easy to find in your purse, taking it out as he gets into the lobby.
A few people eye the man, glaring at him and at the way he held you in his arms. But he couldn’t bring himself to think too much about it. His mission is to get you to bed now.
“Satoruuu~” You whine, rubbing your face into the pillow once he sat you on the white bedding. “Stay with meeee”
And Satoru is nothing if not human. Despite what everyone else says. It’s proven now that he had come to face a human flaw like this. He is weak, and you are all but practically seducing him.
“Stop crying,” He mutters. He finds himself smiling sheepishly at the unlikely scenario he found himself in. Tucking you in bed, your face hot due to the drinks you had. He really should have stopped you. “I’ll stay the night, so sleep already.”
He convinced himself it’s for the best. He should watch over you for tonight. No funny business. Deep inside he knew he was just finding a reason— any reason to stay around you for a little longer, heart yearning for the lost years. But he ignored the pathetic feeling, convincing himself it’s for your sake instead.
“But I’m uncomfortableee,” you whine again, hands running down your body. “The dress...”
Did you have to make it so hard on him? Satoru is tempted to kiss you, eyebrows knitted in the space between, eyes looking around the room for any sort of aid.
This is probably a form of invading your privacy, but he sees no other choice. He’ll have to hold it together for tonight.
Tumblr media
“nngh..”
Your groan came with an impending headache. Your body moves against the rich covers of the bed, sunlight illuminating your physique.
He stopped in his tracks, feet bare against the gray carpet.
Your form is beautiful, one to compete with statues of goddesses. The rays of light complimented every inch of skin in all the right ways. Satoru had to physically shake his head to stop the flowing perverted thoughts in his head.
Your flinch when you catch him standing near the door, heart beating slightly faster. You thought that you’re alone. You don’t think much of it anyway, muttering a “holy shit” under your breath.
“Good morning,” he casually greets, brushing off the mutual shock, albeit for different reasons. “I made coffee, if you wanted some.”
“Oh... thank you,” you mutter, rubbing your eyes as you sit up straight. “Did you eat anything yet?”
“Not yet, no,”  he says, holding his overly sweet coffee in both palms. “Thought I’d wait until you woke up.”
“You’re a real sweetheart, Satoru,” you yawn. His name slipped past your lips before you could stop it. You busy yourself with stretching your arms. “What a doting housewife God has blessed me with”
His response is only a chuckle, rolling his eyes as he sighs on the edge of the bed. “Well, at least I wasn’t begging a man to spend the night with me”
“Huh?”
You couldn’t remember anything of the prior night. Nothing that occurred after you sat at the bar, specifically. But then you begin to realize, eyes widening at the revelation. You feel dreadfulness landing in the pit of your stomach a little too late. 
He’s shirtless, wearing only his suit pants. And even though you wouldn’t mind the sight any other day, the fact that you are in your pajamas isn’t helping at all.
“Did we...” You trail off, expression darkening. Your eyes meet his own, fear implanted in your pupils. You watch as his expression drifts from confusion to an awkward hesitance. Unsure how to break the news to you.
You don’t know what to expect, not realizing you’re holding your breath. 
“I-I’m sorry,” He sighs, gaze faltering as his eyes look away from you. Your eyes widen further, oxygen becoming hard to consume.
What have you done?
“But- don’t worry. You know I’m not some asshole...” if anything, he sounded chivalrous. “I-I’ll be accountable for my mistake. When do you want to hold the wedding?”
You gasp, face feeling hot. “You piece of shit-“ You groan as your foot reaches him, forcefully pushing him off the bed. “As if!”
He breaks into a fit of laughter, the sound full of genuine delight. “I can’t believe you fell for it,” He manages between the laughter.
“Fuck you, Satoru,” you mutter, a smile of relief breaking across your face. “I can’t believe you pulled something so childish.”
“Why are you so down?” He climbed back onto the bed, reclaiming his spot on the edge. “Are you disappointed? You know it’s never too late to just as-“
“Fuck off,” Your heart is pounding as you send him another kick, less forceful this time. “Say one more word about it and I’ll make sure you don’t make it out of this room in one piece.”
He laughs, asking you to pass his coffee. You reach for his coffee from the bedside table. Your fingers lift the glass mug to your lips, sipping at the hot beverage before handing it to him.
Your face scrunches up at the horrible taste. Too much sugar. Too much milk. It’s a lot worse than you might think.
“Your coffee should be criminal,” you push the mug his way, frowning. Satoru hums in response. 
There’s no awkwardness between the two of you, and he can’t help but cherish it. He feels content, enough to sit a little closer, at least.
Enough to lean in towards you, mouth closing over yours in an ever awaited kiss, at least.

How they knew (Yandere Ouran High School Host Club).
Tumblr media
You know how in the first episode; a little lightbulb turns on went off whenever one of the hosts figured out Haruhi was a girl? Well, that's how I imagine it was like for them when they figured out, they loved you, which inspired this fic. (Warning, bad usd to yen calculations, I just looked it up).
Honey knew he would like you the moment he saw you.
You were awkward, sitting so stiffly across from Haruhi as you slowly eat your cake, eyes darting around the old music room in what was very obviously nervous.
You stood out like a sore thumb, your commoner clothing a stark contrast to the bright uniforms of Ouran Acadamy. It was so obvious that Honey noticed you immediately when you walked into the club, watching as you beelined towards Haruhi, who was excited to see you.
Despite your demeanor, Honey just couldn't help but be drawn to you. You were just so cute as you stuttered and stammered when he skipped over to you and started a conversation. He learned you were on an art scholarship, the dried marker and paint that littered your hands a clear sign to that. He learned you were in Haruhi's year, and while you weren't as gifted as her, you were just as determined. Most importantly, he learned you loved sweets, and as you eventually got over your nervousness you happily ate slice after slice of cake.
Honey's time with you flew by, eventually Haruhi taking your time back from him. He couldn't believe how short your interaction was, and he was honestly frustrated having it taken from him. Before you could leave, he made you promise to come see him again, linking his pinkies with you to seal it.
---
The next day, you didn't show up. You didn't show up for the next few weeks, and Honey didn't like it at all.
He pried Haruhi on where he could find you, leading him to one of Ouran's many art rooms. When he walked inside, he could see you sitting in front of a large canvas, a light wash of colors laying on top of it. You were painting peacefully, and for a while, Honey just watched you. He liked you the most when you weren't trembling with nerves, just being yourself. You were beautiful, your skin glowing in the slowly setting sun as you hummed along to a song playing from your headphones.
It was when you turned around and noticed him, a bright smile gracing your face that Honey realized he loved you, and he embraced it like a warm hug.
------------------------------------------------------------
Haruhi wonders where you've been all her life, and why she hadn't met you sooner.
Haruhi is thankful for your friendship, she really is, but sometimes she wishes you could be something more.
She knows though, that because she a host member, and because she needs to pay off her debt, that you two could never be more. And she's fine with that, she really is, but somedays she wishes you two could've met under different circumstances.
Nothing proves that more than the third year cuddling up to you, ranting about his classes as he hands you another slice of cake. Haruhi fumed silently as Honey fed you a bit of cake from his plate, the giggle coming from his mouth as you took a bite being anything but sweet.
"Haruhi." Somehow, Hikaru was on her right.
"What's up with you?" Kaoru was on her left. She groans as the twins follow her fine of sight, smirking at the sight in front of them.
"Oh, I see," They giggle as they eye Haruhi, who was now slightly red, "You're jealous." They said in tandem.
"Am not." She said, walking away only for them to follow. They laugh, looking at each other for a second before looking back at her.
"So, you wouldn't mind if we hung out with them tomorrow, would you?" Haruhi's eyes widened for a moment before shifting to a glare. Crossing her arms, she shrugs and rolls her eyes.
"Of course, I wouldn't." Haruhi knew they knew she was lying, but she couldn't back down now.
The twins both smiled at her before walking off, her heart already dropping to her stomach.
---
The next day, of course, the twins were all over you. You were at the host club before she was, and when she arrived you were playing the twins stupid game.
"Can you tell which one of us is Hikaru?" They stood in front of you, smiling coyly down at you from your seat on the couch. Haruhi watched you think for a second, before you pointed.
"You're Hikaru," You pointed to the twin on the right. "And you're Kaoru." You finished. Haruhi watched as the twin's playful façade faltered, their faces bewildered. As quickly as it happened, they recovered.
"You're wrong, sorry~." No, you weren't, Haruhi could tell. Either way though, you deflated, your pout causing Haruhi to blush.
"Aw, I could've sworn I was right." You murmur to yourself, eyes meeting Haruhi's as she walks over to you. You lighten up a little, waving at her.
"Oh, hey Haruhi, what's up?" Haruhi doesn't know why her heart races at your simple question, but she can help it. She lucky she was even able to make an excuse for you to get away from the brothers, claiming she wanted to study with you, which wasn't far from the truth. She just wanted to spend some time with you, together.
She could hear the twin's snicker something, "And she says she isn't jealous." She thinks Hikaru said, she wasn't paying attention. She was too focused on you.
------------------------------------------------------------
Hikaru and Kaoru always shared everything.
It was in their nature as twins. It's like they had this mutual understanding that everything they do, they do together. Everything they own, they own together. Everything they are, they are together.
"Hikaru." Kaoru starts, not looking at his brother as he gets ready for bed. "What do you think about (Y/N)?" He whispers, mind wandering with thoughts of you. It was strange for anyone to be able to tell them apart, especially so easily. Ever since that moment, all he could think about was you, it was kind of embarrassing.
Kaoru can hear Hikaru shift slighting before scoffing, "What is there to think about." He says plainly. Karou looks over at him, his brother seemingly completely uninterested.
Kaoru shrugs, "I don't know, don't you think it's strange." He says, watching as his brother rolls his eyes.
"It's not that big of a deal, they probably cheated anyway." Hikaru mumbled the last part, but Kaoru still heard, not responding as he laid down to sleep.
---
Apparently, it did matter, because as Hikaru watched you giggle and joke around with Kaoru, he couldn't help but wonder how you knew.
Honestly, it makes him kind of angry. Why was it so easy for you. You had to have cheated, you definitely cheated. There's no other reason for why he feels this way, right?
He hears you giggle again, and Hikaru wanted to rip his hair out. He hated the sound, even more than he hated Kaoru's dumb smile that stretched across his face.
He wanted Kaoru to hate you as much as he did. He wanted you to leave the host club, damn the school entirely, and never come back.
Hikaru watches as Kaoru puts his hand on your arm in a way that was definitely more than platonic, not that you could tell. Disgusted, Hikaru gets up from his seat and storms out of the club room, to where, he doesn't know.
What he does know is he hates the blush that runs up his cheeks when he hears your concern for him as you ask where he's going.
---
Kaoru is in love with you. He loves you; he loves thinking about you, he loves talking about you, he loves being with you.
The issue was Hikaru.
Hikaru loved you too, that was obvious by the blush that covered his cheeks when he heard your voice. But he would never admit it. Whether it's because his pride or because some other deep emotion, no one knew. On the outside, Hikaru was able to hide it, but Kaoru knew, Kaoru always knew.
"Just admit it, Hikaru." Kaour started, "You're in love with them." Hikaru scoffed quietly, his uncaring façade never leaving his face.
"Just because you love the Kaoru doesn't mean I do." He spoke. Their bedroom was silent after that, but Hikaru could hear Kaoru lay down on the bed. Hikaru turned towards his brother, bringing his knees to his chest.
Maybe Hikaru did love you. Maybe he wanted to be with you. But he was afraid. Afraid of messing with the delicate balance that him and his brother has. He's afraid of submitting to someone else. Be more that all that, he's afraid of someone taking you from him, and that he'll never have another chance with you.
Maybe Hikaru is in love.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mori has always liked the quiet. He's content with watching the world around them in peaceful silence.
His favorite thing to watch is you.
You were becoming a common sight at the host club. You always came for Haruhi, but either the twins or Honey would steal you from her. It was somewhat amusing to watch his colleagues become slowly enamored with you.
He didn't expect it to happen to him, however.
You were nice, too nice for you own good. It started slowly, actions that were barely noticeable to other people. Things like offering a piece of your lunch to him when him and Honey would eat with you. Or when you would see him in the hallways and ask how he was doing. Or when you offered to help him in a class he was struggling with, not expecting anything in return.
His feelings for you slowly and slowly built up like an all-consuming force. Whenever he saw you, the world around him would become hazy and all he could focus on was you.
It became too much, the feelings eventually creeping out of him one random day at school. After taking Honey to his class, he saw you, crouching on the floor, your eyes red and raw.
"(Y/N)." He said, his heart sinking as he hears you sniffle, "what's wrong." You shake your head, choosing to stay quiet. "What happened?" Mori prodded forward as you wiped your eyes.
"Just some stupid classmate." You snarled slightly and rolled your eyes, "vandalized a project of mine. Took me forever." You mumbled.
The familiar feeling of rage pooled up inside Mori. He murmured something about you waiting for him before walking off towards the art classroom.
---
Mori has always liked the quiet, especially in moments like this, his breath labored and heavy as sweat beats down his forehead. Below him, a first year, beaten and bruised, but living.
It wasn't hard getting the information from the kid; he was bragging loudly to his friends about the stupid commoner who bumped into him earlier, so he got revenge by destroying the project they were working on.
Mori couldn't explain the rage he felt, but it emanated out of him like steam, it only increasing as he followed the kid back to the art room, cornering him. Before he could even get a word out, Mori's hands were on him, punching and hitting the first year in a blind rage. His fists came down so fast, the first year could barely scream, only small gasps coming from him.
Eventually, the world quiets down, and everything comes back into focus. He turns his head to see your art piece standing up on an easel. He could see bits of the self-portrait behind the mess paint carelessly splattered across the canvas.
Mori slowly stood up, ignoring the barely living kid beneath him as he approached the canvas, carefully caressing the piece of you he could see. He retracts his hand, frowning at the smear of blood left on the canvas.
In this moment, Mori wondered if this was the farthest he would go for you only to laugh at the thought. He was willing to go much, much, further for you.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Ah, you're Haruhi's friend." Kyoya already knew you, you've been coming here for weeks. You were sitting at Haruhi's table, waiting for her to finish her classes.
"Um-yeah, what's up?" Kyoya would be lying if he said he didn't think your little stuttering was cute. Kyoya smiled coyly, pushing up his glasses while looking down at you.
"I've heard you are a wonderful artist and would like to commission a piece for the host club's website." He explained. You looked surprised, but who could blame you. An extremely rich student was offering to pay you for your art.
"Oh! What exactly are you looking for?" Kyoya sits down across from you and stares at you with a pleased expression.
"I would like individual portraits of all the hosts, if that is possible." He watches you think for a second before nodding slowly.
"It'll probably take me a while" You mumble to yourself. You look at him with a small tilt of the head, "How much are you paying."
He let out a smile laugh, "I think 14,000 per portrait should suffice." Your eyes nearly popped out of your head at amount. The money was nothing in comparison to what we had, but you didn't have to know that.
You were fast to agree, something Kyoya very much liked.
---
Over the next few weeks, Kyoya has been visiting your classroom to view your progress on the portraits. Eventually the visits became less about making sure you were keeping up to schedule and more about well, you.
Kyoya found you so interesting, for a commoner at least. You were shy and quiet, but so fiercely determined when it came to what you were passionate about. And you were talented, very much so. Even with your cheap art supply, you were able to create such beautiful works of art, it was breathtaking.
"You didn't have to get this for me Kyoya." You utter, looking down at the very expensive paints Kyoya purchased for you. Your demeanor became shy when he puts a hand on your back and smiles.
"It's just a small gesture, think of it as a thank you for the portraits." He says. Kyoya looks over at the canvas in front of you, it being a rough sketch of Tamaki. The other, finished painting laying on the floor to dry. What caught his eye however was a painting in the corner, a painting of yourself.
"You're doing a self-portrait?" Kyoya asked, pointing over to the smaller canvas. You quickly get up from your seat and turn the canvas around, embarrassment seeping through your laugh.
"How much?" You look confused, shaking your head.
"It's a project so..."
"After it's turned in and graded, how much for it." You move the painting away to the other side of the room.
"It's not for sale, Kyoya."
"I'll pay double, if that's what you would like?" Now you look frustrated, sitting back down across from the canvas.
"Why do you want it so bad anyway?" You grumble, picking up a paintbrush.
Kyoya moves over to the painting, eyes scanning over your soft features. Kyoya feels as though he could look at the painting for years and keep finding little things about you that made you beautiful. He tears his eyes away from the painting, looking back at you.
"How about triple?"
------------------------------------------------------------
Tamaki felt like something was off. Everyone was acting weird today, Haruhi was late, Hikaru and Kaoru were whispering to each other, Honey and Mori seemed distracted, even Kyoya seemed off.
"It seems like the hosts have caught something." Kyoya said while scribbling something in his notebook. Tamaki gave him a raised brow, Kyoya simply smiling. "Who knows, maybe it'll spread to you."
Tamaki doesn't know what he's talking about, none of the members seem ill. Maybe he should wear a mask to school tomarrow?
"Excuse me, you're blocking the door." Tamaki breaks out of his stupor, looking down at you. You looked familiar, he's seen you somewhere before.
"Oh, you're Haruhi's friend, right?" Tamaki asked as he moved for you to enter the classroom. You nod, walking slightly faster as Tamaki attempts to follow you.
"I've seen you at the host club before, why haven't you requested anyone other than Haruhi? Have you and Haruhi been friends long?" He just wouldn't stop talking, and he wounded leave you alone.
"Don't you have a class to be at." You said, and Tamaki bashfully rubbed the back of his neck, giving you a small goodbye before leaving.
---
The next time he saw you was at the host club, eating cake and drinking tea with Haruhi. He couldn't stop watching you, and it was distracting him from his host duties.
He had to pull his eyes away from you and focus on the girl at his side, only to hear your voice as you talk to Haruhi and turn back towards you, eyes sparkling at your laugh. To Tamaki, it was like everything was just easier with you. You were easy to love, and you made him feel like he was easy to love.
It became a common thing to see you at the host club, and slowly and slowly, Tamaki was getting closer to you. It started with offering to walk you to class, then giving you treats to take home, eventually those treats becoming expensive gifts that he knew you would never be able to afford. He thrived off of your happy smile when he gave you a gift, the nice touches you gave him when you saw him in the hallways.
But most importantly, he liked the looks of jealousy he got from the other hosts. Whenever he gave you another piece of jewelry or bouquet of flowers, he reveled in the envious glares his club members would give him as you thanked him profusely.
Tamaki never though it was possible for someone like him to become so utterly enamored with someone like you, but it's not like he's complaining, moments like this being his favorite. You were sitting next to him after club hours, helping him with an assignment he was struggling with. From his vantage point, he could see the small wrinkles in your brow, he could smell the smallest hint of your shampoo, it made him want to move closer to you and never move away.
After studying, Tamaki offered to drive you home, which you always refused. He sighed, wishing you wouldn't be so stubborn and let him take care of you, but wished you a safe walk home either way.
Once you were far gone, Tamaki pulled out his phone, dialing Kyoya's number. It rang for a few seconds before he answered.
"Kyoya, I think I caught something."

DCOM Decision: High School Musical 2 v Descendants 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
High School Musical 2 {original-High School Musical (2006)}
Every song slaps (ignore the one they cut and then added back in on dvd), bet on it is a classic meme, I don't dance is a self contained love story, Ryan <3. Yes they reverted Sharpay's character arc but Lord was it worth it, Tisdale is at her best here, approaching Candace levels of iconic. She just wants Fabulous <3 Gotta go my own way is my comfort song I'll be real.
Descendants 2 {original-Descendants (2015)}
It has the absolute best music of the franchise, including “What’s My Name”. It introduces Uma, the best character in the franchise. The plot and characterizations are the best. It’s the perfect sequel.

sakusa kiyoomi ⇄ inner child.
Tumblr media
synopsis : rich bf!sakusa feeding you your inner child as you've been together ever since.
warnings / tags : gender–neutral!reader, fluff, self–indulgent, omi as the sugar daddy that we’ve dreamt of, please tell me who made the rich bf!sakusa so i can credit them.
Tumblr media
your friends always wonder, “do you have a sugar daddy?” you always answer with a “yes” jokingly. they do not know who he is, you just let them wonder and guess who your great significant other is.
you and sakusa got together when he was at his peak at msby, nearly there where he just graduated from high school and you were in your 3rd year.
he doesn’t mind spending his money on you, he does not care about one bit as he just shrugged it off as if he is just spending a small amount of money like a hundred thousand yen to dollars? just some pennies for him, that is how rich he is.
when you told him you never got anything you wanted in your childhood, he had the urge to spoil you. not only did he want to love you, but he also wanted to serve you.
what else would you want to spend the money on? of course on food and— sakusa doesn’t have anything against it.
“are you sure you can—” “omi, are you underestimating me?” you gave him your side eye which he just nodded, eating some of the food you discovered on your instagram, of course, you shall take some pictures of it to post on your food gallery in ig.
sakusa also gave you his black card every time he was not home, practicing for a game.
as mentioned, you kept your relationship with him for some... years that your friends wonder if you have a sugar daddy of course, you and kiyoomi decided to publicize your relationship by cheering on him in a live game— as he was being interviewed, he mentioned you as one of his inspiration and what keeps him going.
after that, your friend's jaw dropped, asking you for proof as if kiyoomi didn’t just post you on his my days in instagram after the interview which they eventually believed in.
he always loves to look at you— especially your eyes whenever he gives you something that you wanted for so long, he just falls in love with you deeper every day.
he is also a softie when it comes to you, he is always like that, a person that is uninterested in other people except for you;
“omi, thank you so much!” you squeezed the plushie that he gave you so randomly, when you looked at him, his eyes softened whilst looking at you and suddenly, he spoke something.
“let’s go out on a date, right now.” he stood up from your bed, waiting for you to get ready.
“so sudden?” you wondered as he nodded, taking your hand where he caressed the back of your hand with his fingers.
“but i’m in my pajamas!” you added as he huffed in annoyance, making you chuckle.
“will be fast, alright?” well, he doesn’t have any choice. if you decline his date out offer, he will pout— eventually.
well, let’s just say sakusa took you out once again to a fancy restaurant, letting you choose what the two of you shall eat, he was the one who offered the date then you will be the one deciding what to eat. he is always like that. also telling him where to go next the whole evening.
after all, he just wants you to see you smile, that already makes him melt— always. too bad, he cannot resist you for any reason, and softie kiyoomi will always be whipped for you.

Tumblr media
Ever since that day when you last spoke, or let’s say when you received that text message from Satoru. Your life has been filled with nothing but hopelessness and depression. Gojo has stopped sending you messages. He has stopped calling your phone, and you missed that. You missed the fact that he cared about you so much; he’s called you ten times for the day. 
But now, all that has just upped and walked out of your life, and who is to be blamed? No one but you. You’ve lost your best friend, all because of your pride and too ashamed to tell him that you were pregnant. 
You were going through hell and back, but thanks to Shoko, you had seen some better days for most of your pregnancy. She had helped you move through thick and thin and stayed up with you during the nights when you were feeling too sick from all the ongoing stress in your life. She helped you finally, even got you a little side hustle, you know, working from home, just to earn a bit of money just so that you could provide for yourself and the baby. 
She even got started on buying you baby clothes, a new crib, and other things that you might need whenever the baby got there. You tried to tell her that she didn’t have to go so far out of her way for you, but still, she did it, and you were so grateful for her help. 
Your father would send you occasional calls and text messages to check up on you, some of which you didn’t even take the time out of your day to reply to. You didn’t have much of a reason to talk to him since he just completely left you out in the world on your own to survive with, even sending you as much as a thousand yen for food supplies. 
As for Naoya, he was just the most vile, disgusting human being to have walked the earth. After you announced your pregnancy to him, he just straight-up hated you. The school had allowed you to stay in school because, for one, you were an excellent student there. Two, you were in your final year, and three, your tummy wasn’t showing that much until graduation. 
So, while you were just happily finishing off your final year in high school, your ex-boyfriend made it his duty to make your life a living hell. Whenever he laid eyes on you inside the homeroom, cafeteria (you eat all by yourself now because your friends thought you were a joke), and sometimes the library, he made fun of you, calling you the fat preggo bitch, oversized whale, and the worst one mother of a bastard child. He would tell everyone that the child wasn’t his. He spread a whole rumor about your fucking just to have dinner on the table. 
And to make matters even worse, he was now dating your once high school best friend, Hirayama Akemi. She just added to the pain and embarrassment. She’d call you names, too, she would try to make your trip on purpose, and when you do fall, you’re lucky enough to fall on your knees. And even lucky enough not to have any injuries to both your tummy and the baby. 
Sometimes they both dared to shout whenever you were inside the home room, “Just fucking abort that thing already,” or “Ain’t nobody gonna want a single boy with a bastard child.” 
You were miserable, and you wanted to ask your father to help you out, but he gave no fucks about you, so you turned to Shoko. You cried and begged her to have a word with both Akemi and Naoya, but to no avail, they both kept on with their abuse, and Naoya made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with you and your child. 
Throughout that whole stress and abuse, you still managed to make it to the end of your final year. You knew that you just had to keep fighting; after all, you had no one but Shoko at your side, and if you wanted to have a decent life for yourself and your child, the least you could do was make it to the end of your final year. Yes, and you managed to graduate at the top of your class and are now the valedictorian. You gave one of the most heartfelt speeches; too bad your dad and Gojo weren't there to hear it. 
Truly that was the happiest day of your life. Eight months pregnant with a high school diploma to your name and a possible scholarship to go to college. You weren’t about to let your pregnancy be the end of your life. 
A few weeks had gone by since your graduation, and now you were at full term, just waiting and ready to push out your little ray of sunshine into this world. You remember the day Gojo Kei was born. Shoko had left for work that day, leaving you at home alone with just a few minor contractions. And on top of that, you had a surprise visit from your best friend, Gojo Satoru. 
Flashback
It was around ten that morning, and you were just casually lounging around on the sofa watching a talk show that Gojo had appeared on. He was recognized as the youngest billionaire to have inherited his father's company while still completing his degree in Economics. You always knew that Gojo is a gifted child. He could just do anything that he put his mind to, and running a multi-millionaire company while still attending University was no exception. 
You tried your best to keep up with his success, and even though you were avoiding him, you sent him your love and support, hoping that he could feel it from wherever he was. You missed him deeply, and you just hoped that he maybe accidentally dialed your number. 
“Fuck shit…” you hissed. Your contractions were no joke. It ached all over, and you were just feeling miserable. Anyways, you tried to push the fact that you were in pain just to focus on the television when suddenly you heard a harsh knocking on Shoko’s front door. 
You were a bit startled, but still, you managed to get up from the sofa and slowly made your door. As you were about to open it, you froze in your shoes when you heard a very angry yet worried Gojo calling out for you from behind the door. “Y/N, open the door, and let’s talk.” 
“No… no, he can’t see me like this,” you panicked as you turned to walk away from the door, but Gojo’s voice once again stopped you dead in your tracks. 
“Y/N, Shoko told me that you’re home, so come on, please open the door and let’s talk,” he sounded a bit defeated, and you were feeling a lot guilty because you knew that his desperation and the sound of defeat that clouded his voice was because of you. “Y/N, please.” 
With a heavy sigh, you turned around, swallowed the thick lump in your throat, and slowly opened the door. Once the door was opened, you saw him standing there with a bouquet of lavender and white roses in his hand. He was neatly dressed in a black turtleneck sweater, grey dress pants accompanied by black boots, and a long grey coat. His fluffy white hair was longer than usual, and he also sported his famous and expensive sunglasses. 
He tilted his head to the side to peer down at you while you poked your head through the door. “Hi,” you said as you continued to open the door to reveal your pregnant self to him. 
“Hey,” he said to you back, his eyes never leaving your face even though the door was now fully open. “I missed you. Is this what we do now? I thought we told each other everything. I know your secrets; you know mine. We trust each other, don’t we? So what are you hiding?”
You held your head down in shame, hoping that his eyes would follow. 
“Come on, Y/N; I just got back from America. I didn’t even head home yet. Look up at me and tell me what is going on, oh no.” Yup, his eyes did follow, and now he was standing there, shocked, as he stared down at your pregnant belly. The roses fell from his trembling hands, “No… No Y/N. You’re pregnant. How could…” But his words got shut tight in his mouth the moment you lifted your head to look up at him with those tears of regret and shame streaming down your face. 
You could see it, the look of disappointment and shame riding on his face. Tears streamed down his face from behind his glasses. The whole confrontation with him finding out about your pregnancy was what you wanted to avoid. You didn’t want another person looking down at you with shame. 
“I need a moment,” he said as he turned around to leave and as you were about to call out to him. 
A contraction hit which caused you to scream out in pain, and not a moment later, you felt water running down your leg and onto the carpet. Gojo turned around, his eyes widening behind his glasses when he saw the puddle of water at your feet. “My water… help me.” 
Your water just broke. 
“Shit,” he said as he rushed towards you to walk you back inside of the house. 
But you stopped him, “No, take me to the hospital, please.” 
He swallowed thickly, then responded. “Ok, do you need anything, and do you want me to call anyone.” 
"The baby bag is on the couch, and just call Shoko," you said. He nodded and dashed inside to fetch the baby bag from the sofa before exiting. You locked the home with the key you kept in your bra for whatever reason before the two of you headed to his car. He helped you sit comfortably in the backseat, and then he locked the door and got inside the driver's seat then took off.
“Shoko,” you heard him say. You looked into the rearview mirror and saw that he had his phone pressed against his ear. “I’m heading to the hospital with Y/N. Uhm, why didn’t you tell me that she was pregnant?” he took a glance at you and shook his head before turning his attention back to the road. “She’s in fucking labor right now, Shoko, and I’m fucking scared and confused right now. Aren’t you going to call the baby’s father?” 
“T-Toru, he doesn’t,” you tried to speak, but then the contractions hit again. 
“Fuck, it’s ok, Y/N; we’ll be there soon,” he informed you. 
It wasn’t long, though. He got you to the hospital in about fifteen minutes, and when he got there, Shoko was already at the front desk with a wheelchair, just waiting for your arrival. She had already gone ahead to fill out your forms, and now what was left for you to do was to add your signature, which you added later when you were stripped from your clothes and dressed in a hospital gown. 
They also requested Gojo to fill out some paperwork, possibly thinking he was the father. As you were about to tell them that he wasn't and that he didn't need to fill out any papers, he already had the pen in his hand and the paper on his lap, filling out the necessary details. After he was done, you saw him hand the nurses the papers and take a seat on the chair beside the bed that you were now on. 
You recall him tilting his head to stare at your enlarged stomach, then asking, "Where's Naoya? Are you going to contact him?" You bowed your head in shame once more. You were too embarrassed to tell him that Naoya didn't want anything to do with you or your kid, who was desperate to get out. He sighed heavily, and as he was about to question you again, your contractions hit, which quickly alerted the nurses to your bedside. A doctor, the OB, was also at your bed checking your vitals and so on. 
After they finished examining your vitals and other details, the OB informed you that you were already fully dilated. They asked you how long you had been feeling contractions, and you informed them based upon the information they told you that you had been in labor for more than six hours, and your water just decided to pop when you were almost fully dilated. 
Anyways after that, they all got themselves prepared for the birth of their child, and once they were done, they asked Gojo if he wanted to stay or leave. He was confused, and didn’t know what he wanted to do. But when he looked at your face and heard you whisper, “Don’t go,” he just knew that he had to stay with you. 
… 
The birth of Gojo Kei took a while. You were having such a hard time giving birth to your baby boy. 
During the delivery process, you remembered how hot and sweaty your body felt. The pain ripped and coursing it was through your body with every push and every breath you took. Your legs trembled and tried to snap shut whenever that uncomfortable pressure and pain started to form between your legs. You were crying, your nails digging into Gojo's hand as he held onto you, trying his best to encourage you and comfort you. “I can’t do it,” you remembered crying at one point, but thankfully Gojo was there by your side, whispering, “Come on, Y/N, one big push and it’ll be all over,” or “That’s it, take deep breaths and then push. The baby is almost here.” 
His words, along with the kind OB words of encouragement, in exactly 10 minutes, you gave birth to your beautiful baby boy Kei. 
“Oh God,” you cried when the baby finally came out, and he started crying. Happiness, joy, relief, sadness, and a whole bunch more emotions came pouring down at you all at once. 
“Here, take your baby,” the OB said to you with a smile gracing their face as they laid the baby on your chest. “It’s a boy; congratulations.” You smile while more tears continue to stream down your face. Words could not describe the overwhelming sense of feeling that you were currently experiencing as you listened to your son continue to cry. You couldn’t believe it with your own eyes, you were now a young mother of a beautiful baby boy, and it was going to be your job to nurture him, protect him, love him, and do everything else that was within your power to ensure that he grew up to be the happiest and most beautiful human to have walked this earth. 
You looked across at Gojo, who was beaming and crying as he stared at your kid. As depressed and disheartened as he may be right now. Seeing you give birth to such an innocent infant caused tears to build up in his eyes. Your son is gorgeous, and as he sat there admiring the baby, he couldn't help but think that he'd do everything for the little child in your arms. 
“He’s beautiful, Y/N,” he whispered. “You did such a good job.”
“Thank you,” you whispered as you rubbed your finger over your baby’s tiny head. “My son, my little sunshine.”
And truly, Gojo Kei is a ray of sunshine and hope in your life. 
Time Skip.
You've probably spent approximately 30 minutes with your newborn infant after birth. However, it appears that you had fallen asleep from fatigue after pulling out your breast to give your baby his first feed. 
So now, after maybe resting for an hour or two, your eyes were slowly opening and taking their time to adjust to the light inside the room. Once your eyes were fully opened, you saw Gojo sitting on a chair that was next to your bed, with your newborn baby on his naked chest. “He’s such a cutie,” you heard a voice speak slowly before a hand reached out to touch your son’s cheek. 
You looked and saw that Shoko was the one who was caressing your son’s cheek. You groaned a bit, and that caught their attention. 
"Hey!" Shoko said with a smile on her face. "Your baby is so beautiful. You did such a good job." 
"Thank you," you said, smiling at her weakly. You turned to look at Gojo, but his expression was a bit hard to read. He didn't say anything to you; he only watched as your son took a small breath as he slept peacefully on Gojo's chest. 
"They're having a bit of skin-to-skin if your wonder why he has the baby," Shoko informed you. "They said that it would be nice if the baby could do skin-to-skin with his father." 
Your eyes widened, "But he's not…." 
"Shoko?" Gojo called out before you were able to finish the sentence. She turned to look at him. "Can you leave for a moment? I need to talk with Y/N." 
"Uhh yeah, sure. I'll just let the nurse know that you've woken up," and with that said, she left you alone with Gojo. 
You swallowed a bit while you sat up on your bed. You reached out for your baby, but instead, he gave you a look that you know all too well. He knew something, and he wasn't pleased with what he had heard. 
"So, are you going to tell me what happened with Naoya? Shoko told me that you two didn't see each other anymore. What happened?" He asked. 
"It's complicated," you said, trying to end the conversation faster than it already began. 
"Come on, Y/N, don't give me that. Tell me what happened," he pressed on. You closed your eyes and sighed a bit. You knew that; eventually, you were going to have to tell him what happened between you and Naoya. 
So with that said, you told him everything. You told him how you ended up pregnant, how you found out that you were pregnant. You told him about the argument you had with your father the day you found out that you were pregnant. 
You also told him that you never ran away from home. Your father just kicked you out, and that's how you ended up at Shoko. You went on to tell him how Naoya reacted when you told him about the pregnancy and how Naoya made your life miserable after that. You told Gojo all the nasty names that Naoya called you; you told him that Naoya told you that he didn't want to father a bastard child, even though you knew that the child belonged to Naoya. 
You held nothing back; you told him everything. After you were done, you as he blinked back his tears before asking, "Why didn't you say anything? We had conversations multiple times before you decided to cut me off; why didn't you just tell me?" 
"Because I felt tired and so ashamed. I didn't know what to say. I didn't want you to shame me and abandon me like my dad did. I didn't want you to be angry at me. I didn’t want you to feel like I've disappointed you," you explained. 
He sighed, "How do you think I feel now?" You said nothing. "I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that I didn’t expect better from you, but at the same time, you're my best friend, and regardless of what happens, I will always be there to support you." 
"I'm sorry. I was scared," you whispered. "I made a mistake, and I regret it deeply." 
"Now come on, I don't wanna hear that," he said to you. "Scoot over," and you did as you were told. You watched as he slowly stood from the chair and sat down on the bed beside you. "Your son is not a mistake. He's a blessing. Just look at him; he's beautiful," and indeed, your son is truly beautiful. "Instead of regretting what you did, learn from it and grow. Do what is right this time, and just now, I'll be there with you, watching and helping you take the necessary steps you need to take to grow." 
"Satoru…" you said his name before bursting into tears. You didn’t know what to say, but God, it seems as if he knew what to say. 
"Just remember that I love you, you're my best friend, and I'll always be there for you no matter what," with that said, he lay next to you, wrapped his arm around your shoulder while keeping the baby close to his chest and then kissed your forehead. "I will always be there for you." 
"Thank you," you whispered. 
"Ah, I see you're awake," a nurse said, smiling ear to ear when she saw Gojo lying down on the bed together next to you. "Have you decided what the baby's name is?" 
"His name is Kei," you said, smiling. 
"Yeah, his name is Gojo Kei," said Gojo. You looked up at him in shock. 
"You didn't have to," you whispered. 
"But I want to."
… 
You were discharged from the hospital the next day. They said that Kei was a healthy baby and you're happy that he is in good health. 
Gojo wanted to take you home, but he had to leave to take a shower and get some food for both you and him.
So Shoko left work early and drove you back home. She helped you inside the house and took you to the room, then went back for your baby bag. 
After that, she helped you change out of your clothes, helped you shower, and also helped you to get dressed, and then she left, saying that she had to go back to work, but Gojo should be on his way soon. 
So while you waited, you decided to wipe your baby down and then breastfeed him in hopes that he’ll fall asleep. 
A few Moments later. 
“Hey,” Gojo said as he entered the room with a bag thrown over his shoulder. He threw it on the floor and quickly walked over to your bed, and sat down beside you. “Are you hungry? I bought us some food. It’s in the kitchen.”
“Ok, thanks. I’ll go get it when I’m done,” you said to him.
“Can I hold him?” he asked. 
"Of course," you replied, and he smiled. He swiftly removed his shirt and lay on the bed with outstretched arms, waiting for you to place the baby on his chest. You giggled as you pulled Kei from your breast and laid him on Gojo’s chest. 
“He’s so tiny,” Gojo cooed as he rested his hand on the baby’s back. 
“I’ll go grab something to eat,” you said as you fixed your boob back into your clothes before standing up from the bed. Just as you were about to exit the room, Shoko came barging in with the meals in her hand. 
“I left my phone,” she said as he handed you the meals. “I love to see my nephew, but I have got to go to work for real, or they’ll fire me,” and with that said, she left. 
You closed the door and went back to bed with the meal, “Have you had anything to eat yet?” you asked him. 
"Not much, but it'll have to wait," he explained. You hummed before extracting the meal from the bag and starting to eat while Gojo observed your infant. After you finished, you left to dispose of it, then returned and lay down alongside him. 
You have a lot of ideas going through your head right now. You have so many questions for Gojo as well. You had so many topics you wanted to discuss. But first, you must maintain your cool. It was foolish to be concerned about such things when you had just had a baby. 
You started humming a melody in your head and closed your eyes to sleep. But then you felt Gojo's arm around your shoulder, drawing you closer to him. He kissed your brow, stroked your shoulder, and whispered, "Y/N?" 
"Yeah?" you said sleepily. 
“I’ve been thinking, and I was wondering if you maybe want to move in with me?” 
“What?” you asked as you opened your eyes to see him staring down at you. 
“Let’s move in together,” he repeated. 
“What? Why?” you asked while staring at him in shock. 
He swallowed thickly, took a deep breath, then answered, “I like you. I've always liked you more than what you think. Forgive me for sounding like an asshole, but the day you got together with Naoya, I was jealous because I liked you first. I made a mistake by not pursuing you when I had the chance, and now I want to make things right.” 
“Satoru… what… I,” you stuttered, but he shushed you by kissing your forehead. 
“You… I mean, we have a son now. He has my name, and I signed the birth certificate, so legally I’m his father. We can start our family and raise him together. I mean, that’s what you’ve always wanted, right? A little family,” he said while smiling down at you. 
“But I can’t let you take up a responsibility that is not yours. I’ll feel guilty if you do,” you whispered. “I can’t let you father Kei.” 
"If I don't do it, who will?" he wondered. He waited for you to respond, but after a minute or two, you remained mute. He knew you already knew no one would step up to help you care for your son. And when he said "no one," he referred to Naoya. “You and I both know that he wants nothing to do with Kei.”
“Satoru… it just feels so unfair for you to do this for me,” you said to him. And truly, it was unfair for him. But did he care about that? Absolutely fucking not. “I just can’t let you…”
“Hey, Y/n. Remember what I said yesterday? You’re my best friend. I love you, and I’ll do anything for you, and fathering Kei is nothing compared to what I’ll do for you. I meant what I said about us moving in together and starting our little family.” 
Tears began streaming down your face, and he removed his hand from your shoulder to wipe them away. “I’m scared, Satoru. I mean, what if Kei found out that you’re not his biological father? How are we going to deal with this? How is he going to react? I’m confused and scared, Satoru. I’m really scared.” 
“Hey! Y/N. Kei is only a few hours old. We can worry about all of that later when he gets older, and we’re ready to have that conversation with him. Let’s just take it one step at a time and focus on what’s important now, and that is to do our best to raise our son to be a beautiful, kind-hearted, and happy human being. Ok, let’s do that first, and anything else that comes after, we'll deal with that too,” he assured you. 
“Ok,” you whispered before snuggling into his side.
“Ok.”
End of Flashback.
Ever since that day, your life has turned around for the better. Gojo is an amazing father to your child. He loved him as if he were his own, even though he was, legally, that is. He never once brought up the fact that Kei wasn’t his biological son to anyone who asked about Kei, and those who knew said nothing about it. 
All that mattered was that they saw that Gojo had nothing but love for your son, and that’s all that there was to it. As for your relationship with him, the week you moved into his apartment, he wasted no time asking you to be his girlfriend. You accept it, but at the same time, it feels as if you pressured him into making such decisions. But over time, you grew to understand that Gojo just does whatever feels right to him. 
And God, Gojo is such an amazing boyfriend to you. He treated you the way Naoya never treated you. He was gentle, kind, and a good listener. His touches were soft and gentle; his kisses were sweet and slow and breathtaking. And as for the sex, ugh! We’ll get back to that in a moment because a few months after he asked you to be his girlfriend, he wasted no time asking for your hand in marriage. You were probably dating him for about four months when he asked you to marry him. 
You were shocked; it took a whole week to say yes to him. It was funny because he knew you wanted to say yes, but at the time when he popped the question, you were just in a state of shock. But yeah, after the marriage proposal, you originally told him that you wanted to wait until after marriage to have sex with him. But then, dealing with PPD and, of course, he was finishing up his last year of University, you were beginning to feel a bit insecure about your body, and you were starting to worry that he may or may not want to have sex with you. 
But damn, did he prove you wrong when you told him about the issue you had. (A/N: I, Toniann, the author, may even write a whole story for this part.) 
Yup! That morning when you woke up and demanded that he had sex with you, he had to slap his hand over your mouth to keep you from waking up the baby as he continued to work your body out with his shaft. Hm! We’ll leave the smut alone for a different day, so let’s move on. 
You both got married when Gojo graduated from Uni and now you were on your way to attend a college you got accepted to to study Computer Science. Yeah, things were looking up for you. You had a beautiful wedding, and that memory of you walking down the aisle in a beautiful dress towards your husband, who dressed up nicely too, will forever live on in your memory. Funny enough, Kei was one year of age at the time, and You were 18, almost 19.
After marriage, Gojo moved his family into a beautiful modern villa. It was too big, as a matter of fact, but hey, you’re not complaining because after what happened the night you both went on your honeymoon, you knew that in due time, this house would be too small for you, him and the rest of the kinds that he is bound to give to you. 
Anyways, when Kei turned two years old, Naoya suddenly turned up out of nowhere, asking if he could see Kei and get to know him. You asked him why, only to find out that he had cancer and he may or may not survive his chemotherapy. You were unhappy that something like this had to happen, but you were more than happy to let him spend time with his son. 
Your baby was happy to meet his father, always babbling about how fun Naoya was, and it was to the point where you thought that Kei would neglect Gojo being his father, but that was far from the case. Even though Kei grew to care for Naoya and accept that he was his father, he loved Gojo more. And that was evident because Kei didn’t call Naoya daddy. He called Gojo daddy. Kei doesn't tell Naoya that he loves him. No, he tells that to Gojo. And the list continues.
Fortunately, Naoya survived his cancer treatment, and now he is doing much better. He was around and spending time with Kei now, and even paying a hefty amount for child support, even though you didn’t need it because, well, Gojo, he’s already doing a fine job at caring for Kei. 
Now here you are today, happily married to Gojo with a four-year-old son and another baby on the way. 
“Here you go, baby,” your husband said, snapping you out of your thoughts and handing you your bowl of mangoes and lime. “Kei, do you want me to feed you milk, or do you want to do it yourself.” 
“I no want you to feed me, I… big boy… I do it, self,” Kei said before taking his bottle from his father's hand, wiggling out of his hold, and running off to open his new toy. 
“What did you get him?” you asked Gojo. 
“A new toy truck, the one that he’s been asking for yesterday,” Gojo answered as he sat beside you and wrapped his arms around your shoulder. 
“You spoil him too much, you know,” you said to him while giggling. 
“Well, someone’s gotta do it,” he chuckled, and you shook your head. You both watched as Kei yanked the truck from the bag before tossing his bottle to the side to scream. “Kei, pick up your bottle and drink your milk.” 
“I don’t want more,” Kei answered, then he started to play with his truck. 
“Kei?” Gojo called out to him. 
But Kei merely shook his head before retrieving his bottle from the floor, getting up with it and his toy, and walking up to Gojo, then laying the bottle in his lap. “I said no more…”
“Ok, Ok…” Gojo chuckled before taking the bottle from his lap and resting it on the coffee table. 
“He takes after you,” you said to him. 
“Nuh huh, that’s you. He’s got your attitude,” Gojo said before leaning down to kiss your lips.
It was slow and sweet, but that sweet kiss came to an end when Kei yelled, “Uh oh.” You pulled away to see Kei covering his eyes with his hand. “Mommy and Daddy kiss again.” 
And Gojo burst out laughing. 
God, Kei’s really a true blessing in your life. 
Tumblr media
Thanks for reading. 
Side note: Kei is a name of Japanese origin that can be either masculine or feminine. Meaning “blessed,” “respect,” or “joyous,” this name is sure to remind the baby to appreciate all the good things in life.

Propaganda
Toshia Mori (The Bitter Tea of General Yen, Blondie Johnson)—i think Toshia Mori is a great example of someone who clearly had the makings and charisma of a star & who its easy to imagine thriving in a less white supremacist system than 20s and 30s hollywood. she began acting in silent movies in the late 20s, and in 1932 was selected as a "WAMPAS Baby Star" which was an annual promotion of promising up-and-coming young actresses by the Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers, becoming the first Asian woman to do so. previous baby stars included Clara Bow, Joan Crawford, and Joan Blondell, and another 1932 honoree was Ginger Rogers. this likely led to her most sizeable role in The Bitter Tea of General Yen (unfortunately a movie with a lot of orientalism going on and white actors in yellowface). she was well received but the studio seemed to lose interest in her career and she largely continued to get bit parts; her last appearance was in a Charlie Chan movie in 1937. she deserved better!!
Veronica Lake (I Married a Witch, Sullivan's Travels)—her look is so iconic they used her as a visual model for jessica rabbit in who framed roger rabbit and a bunch of other femme fatale types in cartoons and live action alike. i didnt think i liked women and then i saw her in sullivans travels and said gee i hope this doesnt awaken anything in me! every role ive seen her in she absolutely oozes an aura of "i know people would ask me to step on them" and her EYES bro every photo ive looked at for this submission its like shes piercing thru time and space to judge me <3
This is round 4 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Toshia Mori:

Veronica Lake:
Tumblr media
Her HAIR, her FIGURE, her VOICE, the way she wore LEATHER AND SANG SONGS FOR NO REASON.
Tumblr media
I don't believe there's a person on earth who can watch Veronica Lake in I Married A Witch and not be struck by how gorgeous she is. She had that youthful wonder about her that almost every Hollywood starlet was trying to achieve. Her hairstyle (peekaboo bangs) became an iconic Hollywood style after she popularized it, and made her signature look all the more suggestive. Also, witches are tumblrs favorite!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ICONIC hair sweep
The US government literally begged her to change her hairstyle because it was TOO HOT to handle and women who copied it were getting their hair caught in machinery
Tumblr media
Her hairstyle was so iconic and popular that the war department had to come out with a PSA instructing lady ironworkers with ways they could pin their hair up to avoid it getting bound in machinery. [https://veteranlife.com/military-history/veronica-lake/]
Tumblr media
She played a lot of femme fatale roles but my favorite is Sullivan’s Travels opposite Joel McRea, which is a comedy. She became famous for her hair style at the time—she wore it long and parted on one side so it would fall over half her face in a very sexy way. They called it a peek-a-boo I think. You’ve definitely seen Bugs Bunny dressed up like her, so I think if she’s being honored in such a way she’s very cool.
Tumblr media
look at her
she's GORGEOUS in her little witch outfits that she wore for promos and also in the oversized coats and pajamas she wore throughout the movie...she's got RANGE
Tumblr media
My Grandpa supposedly dated her in high school, he drove her to school in his car every day. This is legend in the family.
She has gorgeous hair, has got the smouldering look over the shoulder down PAT, and is just drop-dead gorgeous too!
Tumblr media
Schizophrenic icon, popularized the peekaboo hairdo long before Jessica Rabbit
She’s just so prettyyyyy
Tumblr media
So much hot in such a tiny package. She was no more than 5 feet tall, and some reports claim as small as 4'9"
If you picture a femme fatale in your head, almost certainly Veronica Lake had a hand in shaping the image you think of. She came to embody the look of the noir leading lady as well as the sound and the performance. Certified Noir Baddie.
