June of (minimal) Doom 2024 Day 6 - They don't care about you
Satoru feels Suguruâs cursed energy spike, going wobbly and all out of whack and he knows that something is seriously wrong. So wrong that he simply acts on instinct instead of thinking it through and between one blink and the next he finds himself right next to Suguru, in a small village, in a house with two crying kids and two screaming adults.
Fun.
âSatoru?â Suguru gasps out, apparently busy trying to keep a tight leash on his curses and Satoru stumbles.
Long distance teleportation really is a bitch.
âSuguru,â Satoru breathes out and grabs his arm, trying to steady himself. âWhatâs wrong?â
âWhatâsâwhy would you ask me that? Youâre barging in here, making me think something is wrong,â Suguru gives right back, his voice shaking the tiniest bit and carefully angles himself in front of the kids as if he has to protect them from Satoru.
It only adds to the strangeness of this situation.
âYour energyâitâs not right. Whatâs going on?â Satoru says, hoping that it explains enough and that Suguru is not going to ask why he always keeps a close eye on his energy in the first place but Suguru doesnât seem to care too much about that.
Something cruel passes over his face, almost turning it into a sneer and Satoru flinches back.
âNothing is right, Satoru; donât you see?â he hisses, pointing at the kids and the adults, some of Suguruâs curses still trying to escape his control and Satoru doesnât really understand whatâs going on at all.
âI see something going wrong,â he carefully admits because the kids look beaten and they are locked up in a cage but it doesnât give him the bigger picture.
It doesnât explain Suguruâs behaviour.
âDonât you dare judge me,â Suguru bites out and that is so far from what Satoru was going to do that he doesnât even understand where Suguru got that from.
But it seems they are not at all on the same page of this conversation and so Satoru takes a deep breath.
âTell me whatâs going on here. Explain it to me,â he says, taking a step back and giving Suguru space to breathe because he seems decidedly unwell.
Suguru takes a measured breath and then a second and third and then it all just comes tumbling out of him; not only whatâs going on here, right now, but also everything that has been going on with him since they lost Riko. He speaks so fast he stumbles over his words more than once and with everything he says Satoru feels more and more sick.
He has missed so much. He thought he knew Suguru best, was tuned in to him but he has missed all of this turmoil and agony and Satoru hates himself a little bit for it.
Those thoughts are almost enough to drown out what Suguru is saying but Satoru forces himself to pay attention.
Suguru is opening up to him; he needs to listen, for once.
Suguru is talking about what Yuki said to him, what she entertained as a valid idea and while Satoru sees the merit of that thought, itâs also impossible for more than one reason.
ââand Iâm going to burn it all down, starting with this village!â Suguru yells out at the end, breathing harshly and Satoru steps forward, tightly gripping Suguruâs arm.
âYouâre not going to do that,â Satoru tells him, because if Suguru does any of that then that means he can never come back home and Satoru canât have that.
And besidesâ
âItâs not going to work, Suguru,â Satoru tells him, because itâs not.
âOh, right, of course youâd say that,â Suguru bitterly says and scoffs. âIâm not strong enough, right? Is that it?â
âThatâs not it at all, Suguru, let me explain,â Satoru bursts out because how dare Suguru think that heâs not as strong as Satoru. âItâs not a good way to go about this. You want to take those girls with you, yeah? And then kill every non-sorcerer so that no curses can be born again?â he sums up Suguruâs big talk and only goes on when Suguru nods. âSo you want to make breeding machines out of the girls?â Satoru asks then, deliberately blunt and cruel and Suguru flinches.
âWhat the hell are you talking about?â
âWhere do you think new sorcerers are going to come from when you kill off every human? Youâd need to breed new ones and who is going to do that? Itâs not as if the pool is going to be very big, especially not at first. That would mean those girls there? Theyâd have to have at least a couple of kids each.â
âSatoru,â Suguru says, clearly appalled by what Satoru says.
âNo, listen to me. Listen, Suguru,â Satoru implores him because thereâs a better way to go about this. It might just take just as long as what Suguru is currently entertaining but it wouldnât take Suguru from his side. âSome sorcerer parents birth normal humans. What are you going to do if that happens to them?â He nods towards the girls. âAre you going to take their kids and kill them, too? And you know better than anyone that sorcerers can be born to non-sorcerer parents. It happens like that more often than not, outside of the big Clans. Youâre going to slow down our growth like that!â
âThen what would you have me do?â Suguru screams right in his face and Satoru thinks he prefers this anger over whatever manic energy was driving him before.
Satoru takes a few deep breaths before he lays out his own plan. He didnât think to share it yet, wasnât sure if Suguru would be on board and so he kept quiet about it but Satoru now sees where he went wrong.
He should have told Suguru from the very start, to let him know that he wasnât alone, that the system is fucked all the way up and that Satoru intended to change things.
Maybe it would have helped with Suguruâs agony.
âThe higher-upsââ
âGods, Satoru, give me a break,â Suguru interrupts him, not even letting him finish his first sentence. âThey donât care about you. They are not going to listen.â
ââneed to go,â Satoru goes on as if Suguru hadnât just interrupted him.
He gives him a mean smile when Suguru gapes at him.
âWhat? You think I donât know that they donât care? I know it better than anyone, Suguru. The higher-ups, the clansâthey are all rotten down to the core. They donât see the person. They just see what you can do for them. They see me as the bearer of the Six Eyes, as the one who inherited both techniques. My family very rarely sees me as a Gojo and even that only because it allows them to boast with the fact that I am one of them. No one there has ever seen me as Satoru, has seen me as human. And they are not going to start any time soon; not with me and certainly not with anyone else.â
âSo what? You want to kill them?â Suguru sneers out, clearly not believing that Satoru could go down that path.
âYes,â Satoru simply says and holds Suguruâs gaze. âThey have to go. The higher-ups at least. The Clans weâd have to see. Some of the younger members might be open to our cause, that needs to be checked out first. But the older ones? They all have to go.â
âIt would wage war,â Suguru says and Satoru shrugs.
âWe just have to time it right. Iâm not saying we do it right now. It will take some time still. We have to see who would support us, which older sorcerers would be on our side. We canât build it all up from scratch, we need experienced people.â
âAnd the school?â Suguru asks and Satoru is glad to see that he at least seems to have some sort of attachment to it.
âIt has to stay,â Satoru gives back. âWe need it for training, for education. But things have to change there, too.â
âThe grading system of curses,â Suguru slowly says, clearly getting into the idea now as well and Satoru breathes a little bit easier to see him lose some of that manic energy, turning it into something more productive, the cogs in his brain starting to turn.
âItâs dog-shit,â Satoru agrees and sees the corner of Suguruâs mouth twitch. âI mean, come on, how many Grade 2 curses or lower have you been sent after this month?â
âToo many,â Suguru agrees, because of course.
Sometimes Satoru wonders if the higher-ups are misgrading the curses on purpose but he canât figure out why they would do that.
âItâs not acceptable that weâre being sent after curses everyone else can handle whileââ Satoru briefly stumbles over the name and he sees Suguru flinch, too ââHaibara has to go up against a local deity. Itâs not right and there has to be a more accurate way to grade them. Or missions should only ever be carried out in teams, one lower grade sorcerer and one higher grade. There have to be ways to prevent these stupid useless losses.â
âTeaming up sounds like a good idea; it would mitigate any potential misgrading and it would allow them to get away if things go to shit,â Suguru nods, now clearly completely focused on what Satoru is saying.
Satoru wants to weep with how relieved he is, but he has to make sure that heâs not going to lose Suguru again.
âAnd we need a more reliable way to find sorcerers born to non-sorcerers,â Suguru says, already skipping ahead to Satoruâs next point.
Heâs going to point out just how alike they think with glee later, because right now heâs too scared to interrupt Suguru and make him spiral again.
âThere either has to be a way to detect them somehow or we have to subtly let the public know about curses so that kids who can see them donât feel ashamed or scared and know where to go.â
Satoru winces when Suguru raises an eyebrow at him.
âItâs a work in progress, shut up. I wasnât ready to talk about any of this yet,â Satoru defends himself and Suguruâs face softens the slightest bit.
âThen why did you?â he wants to know and Satoru blinks incredulously at him, as if the answer isnât entirely obvious.
âBecause I was losing you,â he plainly gives back. âI should have known you werenât happy with the system either, but I didnât expect you to go down such a different path. And I canât lose you, ever,â he states, because he canât.
Despite everything, Suguru is the only one who has ever seen him as human, who has ever been his friend, his partner, his everything, and there is no way in hell Satoru is going to let him go down a path that would separate them.
âI wasnâtââ Suguru starts as if he didnât plan to level this entire village to the ground just mere minutes ago and he bites his tongue, clearly noticing his slip up when his eyes fall on the cowered humans in the corner. âOkay, yeah, I was,â he breathes out and slumps where he stands.
Satoru allows himself to step forward, so Suguru can rest against him, his head heavy on Satoruâs shoulder.
âThe girls are sorcerers, I gather?â Satoru whispers, reaching up to scratch at Suguruâs neck and he hums when Suguru nods. âCase in point, then. We fucking need a better way to find them,â Satoru hisses out, his eyes sliding over to the silently crying kids.
âSuguru, we have to get them out of here.â
While Satoru is looking at the kids, Suguru is looking at the adults, Satoru can tell. Thereâs a hatred rolling off him that he isnât used to and in all honesty, Satoru isnât sure he wants to stop Suguru from what heâs going to say next.
âThese twoâI canât let them go,â Suguru mutters, confessing it to Satoru as if this is his gravest sin and Satoru huffs out a laugh because he couldnât care less about these two.
They donât matter in the grand scheme of things and non-sorcerers die all the time during their fights with curses.
âA second curse, attacking us while weâre trying to get the kids to safety is not out of the realm of possibility,â Satoru carelessly says. âAnd who knows what we have to do to protect the girls, right?â
Itâs a peace offering as much as everything else Satoru has said today; he hopes he can make Suguru understand his own rage, his own feeling of helplessness in face of the rules of the higher-ups and he knows Suguru understands when he turns his head, buries it into Satoruâs throat.
âYou donât mind?â
Now that really makes Satoru laugh.
âSuguru, might I remind you that I was this close to slaughtering many more people than these measly two and that I only didnât do it because you said no? I would not have hesitated had you even so much as faltered in your answer,â Satoru honestly replies, because itâs nothing but the truth.
He wouldnât have held back and he wouldnât have felt bad about it, either.
Just like Suguru wonât feel bad about these two.
âSo, not everyone butâsome?â Suguru asks and Satoru sighs.
âSuguru, did you not listen? I said the higher-ups and most of the Clan members have to go. Where do you think they are supposed to go? A happy little island? I intend to send them straight to hell, so please. Iâm not going to lose any sleep over those two over there. Are you?â
âHell no,â Suguru decides and Satoru briefly feels cold when Suguru pulls away, but that feeling is quickly chased away when Suguru leans in to press a kiss to the corner of Satoruâs mouth. âThank you,â he breathes out just as he lets out one of his curses who swallows the non-sorcerers whole.
âYou always clean up so nicely after yourself,â Satoru notes as he moves over to the cage and breaks the lock.
âGonna keep the fussing to a minimum,â Suguru says as he comes after Satoru, briefly carding his fingers through his hair before he crouches down to meet the girls. âYouâre going to come with us, is that alright?â he softly asks and Satoru could weep because this is the Suguru he knows now.
He canât help himself, he just as to lean in and press a kiss to Suguruâs cheek because mere minutes ago he was certain heâd lose Suguru and now they are finally on the same page. About more than one thing it seems, judging by the sly smile Suguru throws him but for now Satoru decides to concentrate on the girls.
They need medical attention and most of all they need to get out of the cage and out of this village.
And Suguru and Satoru will make sure that they have a better future before them.

people will make fun of the "idk I just think boys belong in dark academia and girls belong in cottage core <33" as obviously just being gender role stereotypes with an internet subculture coat of paint
and then turn around and be like "yuri is when two delicate maidens have a pure romance with themes and feelings and yaoi is when two pig men blast each others hogs"

What's it called when you're not actually allergic to something but the universe is simply telling you to stop eating said thing?
Because I have not been able to eat cherries normally (without cutting them up first) in years because I found myself staring at worms two years in a row when I was a teenager and today I thought hey fuck it might as well eat the fresh cherries my nice coworker brought in and guess who finally hit the checkpot (actually involuntarily chewed ON a worm)
