People said promising yourself to someone you love was euphoric; it was a feeling you couldnāt achieve through any other form of happiness or drugs. Satoru believed that because when he asked you to marry him and you said yes, he felt as though he could rearrange and hang every star in the sky to spell your names for the rest of eternity. It was electric, the feeling, and he couldnāt get enough of it.
But Satoru wasnāt somebody who was ever in the midst of two lines; if he was happy, he was so fucking happy, and if he was sad, he was so fucking sad.Ā
Growing up in his home hadnāt taught him many things, but heād come out of it with two lessons heād always abide by:
Never, ever make promises you canāt keep.
If you can go against Gojo Takayashiās wishes, do it.
He knew that he should wait to tell his parents about his engagement with you until you were with him, which is why he didnāt let it slip during the first dinner he had with his parents since he put a ring on your finger. When his father said heād invited a guest over, Satoru felt more at ease to keep his mouth shut because, even though his parents were not his favorite people, he was itching to see their reaction. The little boy that lived somewhere in the abyss of his mind expected them to pop champagne, for his mother to immediately call each and every one of the people she knew to tell them the good news, for his father to pat him on the back with a gleeful smile that made him feel like heād at least done one thing to make him proud.
And, even though his second rule was to always strive to go against his father, he felt it would be some sort of a twisted poetic number for his father to be proud of him for loving you. For you loving him back.
Kimura Hana was pleasant, and her parents even more so. Despite that, both children on the dinner table that night had a hard time trying to entertain themselves with the dull conversation. Their fathers droned on about their next upcoming business ventures, constantly toasting to the point theyād made a toast to the art of toasting, claiming that it was the best excuse for people to down more alcohol with good intention.Ā
Hana kicked his leg underneath the table from beside him and Satoru, Y/N-loving, elated-over-his-engagement-in-private Satoru, almost sent her a glare for being so close to him. But he covered it when he noticed a small napkin she passed his way, a small giggle leaving her lips.Ā
He opened it, and there he read, in pretty and small handwriting with red ink:
this is sooooo boring.
He looked around and patted his pockets subtly when her lithe fingers reached out, right above his lap, and offered him a pen. He gave her a small smile before replying:
If i have to hear another stupid toast, Iām going back to my room
She scanned his reply, and he noticed her lips curve up upwards as she did. Satoru leaned back, fork mushing the leftovers of his desert as he waited for her. Her hands reached down, and placed it right on his thigh and he almost jolted at the slight hint of her fingers against his jean-clad thighs.
He shakily opened the response, a misplaced sense of guilt ravishing his brain.
what about me???
He tried not to think much before he replied, reminding himself that this was friendly. She was being friendly.
You can come up too. Iād hate to leave you here with the wolves.
āGojo,ā Hana said, her voice loud enough for the entire table to hear. Satoru turned to her, raising his brows. āYou wanted to show me that book, right?ā She turned to her mother. āMa, do we have enough time for me to go up and check it out?ā
Her mother smiled a very specific kind of smile, and Satoru once again reminded himself that this was friendly.Ā
āOh, of course. With the way things are going, I think we have about twenty more toasts to go.ā
Satoru glanced back at his father who, in his drunken stupor, paid him no mind while his mother barely looked his way, eyes focused on the empty plate below her.Ā
When Hana went through his small bookshelf, something he didnāt think sheād actually do, he sat on his messy bed and watched her. She stopped at one of the books and pulled it out, a small smile on her lips as she turned back to look at Satoru.Ā
āWhat is this?ā she asked, plopping down on the bed as she scanned a CD heād placed in the middle of all the books. It was something Geto had given him once after a fight heād had with you two months into your relationship, and if he remembered correctly, heād written, on top of the case with a thick, black marker: move on bro!! Geto had brought it up in one of your recent conversations and said he wasnāt right in the head to think either of you could ever move on from the other, and followed that statement by saying you were meant for each other.
āUh, my friend gave it to me after I had aā¦ wellāā
āA breakup?ā
It was a small falling out, but he didnāt correct her because it was so long ago. So, he nodded.Ā
āBreakups are soātheyāre so annoying.ā
Satoru chuckled, curious. āGot your heart broke or somethinā?ā
She shook her head vigorously, as though she hated that statement with every fiber in her bones. āNo, at least not recently. Probably because I hate the idea of meaningless relationships.ā
Meaningless relationships? āElaborate.ā
āI donāt know! Like, Iāve thought about it and I just donāt see the reason to tie myself down to someone, you know? Iām young and I have a lot of time to get serious and have joint bank accounts but now? I feel like if I ever tied myself down, itād end sometime because we end up hating each other for holding each other back while weāre so young.ā
He tried not to think about her words too much, but it was hard. He was sure sheād say something completely different were he to tell him about you and your engagement, sugarcoating her words and saying stuff like not you! Iām just talking about me, of course. And that was what he didnāt want. He appreciated her brutal honesty because she was unknowingly giving her perspective on something he hadnāt thought about before getting engaged.Ā
You love her and youāre her fiance, a part of his mind told him, holding him back from probing further. But another part, the part of him that was always scared over one thing or another pushed him to ask her more.Ā
And he did, he asked until he was unconsciously convincing himself that the two of you shouldnāt go through with this, but not enough for him to break it off with you.Ā
What did convince him to break it off with you was something that happened around a month later, after he and Hana had hung out plenty of times due to the increasing closeness of their parents. It was because he found himself shifting his chair closer to hers during dinner. It was because he unconsciously raised his thigh everytime she passed him a note and didnāt reach out his hand so her fingers would graze over it. It was because he was texting her more than he was texting you, and a part of him didnāt seem to mind it.Ā
He knew it was wrong, despite the plethora of times he tried to convince himself that it was platonic. He couldnāt deny that there was something so utterly wrong about how he didnāt want to tell Hana that he was engaged to you. He didnāt end it with you after doing something that would instantly cross the line heād been teetering over the edge of for a month, he ended it with you when he felt like if she would cross that line unknowingly, he wouldnāt stop himself from giving in.Ā
And Satoru didnāt want to cross that line.
