Whumptober Day 26 - "Inside Out" (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Today's @whumptober fic is a collab between me and @waffles-in-winter ! We have so much fun whumping Gojo together, and I hope you all enjoy reading this.
~~~~~~~
Gojo, Getou and Shokoâs current mission finds them in an old hospital, trapped within the domain of the Curse theyâre hunting. Gojo is wearing down, however, with his constant use of Six Eyes, and when heâs badly injured in the fight, things come to an explosive conclusion.
~~~~~~~
Prompts Used: Working to Exhaustion, 'You look awful' Fandom: Jujutsi Kaisen Character: Gojo
~~~~~~~
âSatoru.â
Interrupted from their conversation, the two turned to him in slight annoyance.
He leveled his look, trying to fill it with meaning and threat and warning as he stated, âI think you should rest.â
With a rough sigh, Gojo whined, âThis again? You donât think I can pull a couple of all-nighters?â
âThis isnât some sleepover, Satoru. We need you when the time comes and if that means you sleep until one of us wakes you upââ
Gojo whacked his friendâs hand from landing on his shoulder, âAnd let one of you get all the glory taking the damn thing down?â Then he yelled around them, âWherever the shithead is!â
Getou flinched, an instinctive thing he hated immediately after.
Gojo noticed. âOh, you think it can hear us? Well then why has it waited so long to show its ugly mug, huh!?â Gojo spun around, calling up and down the hall. âMaybe the thing is a girl and hideous!â
Shoko muffled through her lollipop, âRude.â
âSatoru, calm down.â
Gojo shrugged off his friendâs grip, cupping to yell down the hall, âMaybe she was hideous in life, and died in this hospital with no friends because of it! Probably deserved it!â
âDude,â was all Shoko gave.
With worry stirred in his limbs, Getou faced ahead, then backward. Ready. And all he saw was the same dusty trash and flickering lights like before but...
âSee?â Gojo grinned, stepping back towards them, âThe thingâs probably afraid of me. And for good reason!â
Those round sunglasses stopped right in front of Getou to glare at him. This close, Getou could make out how deep the dark circles were.
But the bright blue eyes could still pierce him as Gojo growled, âGo home, Suguru. Take Shoko and leave. Why anyone thought you were needed here is beyond me. And actually, itâs... Oh whatâs the word again?â He straightened up to rub his chin.
âYouâre being an ass, Satoru. Knock it off.â Shoko called.
âAsinine.â He snapped his fingers. âThatâs it. At least Shoko was helpful.â He tilted his head down, glasses low enough so he could meet Getouâs vexed look with bared eyes, pouting, âHelpful. Unlike you and your weak-ass ability.â
Getou fought everything in himself to keep from punching the other, but only because goosebumps prickled down his neck.
If before was a whisper by his ear, this was an inhale.
âWhatâs the matter?â Gojo demanded, inserting himself in front of Getou again, shoving him in the chest. âYou wanna tell me Iâm wrong? Your ability is literally just stealing other abilities from Cursesâwithout them, youâd be nothing! Whoâs the strongest one here, huh?â
âTake a rest,â Getou gritted out, feeling the convergence of something and wishing Gojo would shut up for a second so he could concentrate on where it was coming from.
âI donât need a rest!â Gojo shouted, with a wild laugh, throwing his arms wide. âI feel great! And Iâm gonna take down this asshole Curse myself and prove you two werenât even needed here! Iâm gonnaââ
It happened so fast that Getou didnât have time to react. A giant arm of tortured flesh and stitches shot out of the wall. The hand clamped around Gojo, crushing his arms to his sides, squeezing. Getou watched, open-mouthed, as Gojoâs face turned from manic fury to actual terror, a second before the thing crushed him in its fist. The action pulled a surprised, agonized scream from Gojoâs throat before it flung him to one side.

I'm calling it and I hope I'm wrong about it.
If Gege drops a backstory for Sukuna, folks are still going to be like "well, it's not the backstory I want for him".
#now I'm a sukuna fan and i said it before#i could actually give no fucks about a backstory for him#like at all#the story ain't about him#two backstories in jjk haven't actually been fleshed out fully so why would the big bad get out but not the mc hello?#pieces of a backstory yes#that has happened#and I'm not counting the pre hidden inventory arc as a full one#that was just the flashback needed to understand future events#and it wasn't just gojo's backstory BTW it was geto's toji's riko's hell even yaga and shoko#now would i be mad about a sukuna backstory? no I'd love it#but do i think it's actually necessary especially since we kinda already know who he is...#because of the pieces of his background shown before? no no i don't#unlike some folks i don't feel entitled to it#i feel like some of you want a backstory to excuse his actions let's be honest#because lately if a villain has a sad backstory people ignore that they have made terrible decisions they did not have to do#or just excuse their actions#but their actions is a part of the story how do you ignore PARTS OF A STORY?! YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT!!#i don't care what sukuna had going on in the past he still is a curse to yuji#just kiya's thoughts#jjk#jujutsu kaisen#sukuna#sukuna ryomen#ryomen sukuna

You know what always messes me up emotionally with satosugu???
The fucking Toji and Geto fight where Geto realises Gojo is dead.
Like the soundtrack is incredible for Hidden Inventory but we do NOT talk about this scene enough?!? About that INSANELY beautiful part in "With Rage" which just feels like the perfect representation of Geto's breakdown and anger in song.
Like THE RAGE.
I remember watching this and like legit sobbing because hes so reserved but here he loses it and doesn't hold back and even then he realises it's just not enough. He's not enough. Riko died in front of him, he thinks Gojo is dead and then he loses to Toji and finds out Gojo survived but he's not right, he's changed. Like the Gojo pre and post that is very different.
Like we talk about Gojo feeling like Geto died a long time before he had to kill him but do you ever think Geto felt like Gojo had already died to him too? That it didn't matter that Gojo had come back because to Geto he lost everything that day and knew he would never be able to get it back.

TILL FOREVER FALLS APART
when you first joined jujutsu high, you probably never imagined being in relationships with two of the strongest special grade sorcerers. yet here you are, destined to spend the rest of your life with them. did you complain about it? absolutely not. this is simply the story of your life being in relationships with geto suguru and gojo satoru.
warning : age-up! satosugu, spoiled! fem reader, fluff, heavy / light angst, dark content, trauma mentioned, unprotected sex, threesome, overstimulated, suggestive, oral sex ( m & f receiving ), dirty talk, degrading, name-calling, pet names, poly relationship, anxiety, lots more.
[â] : NSFW | REQUESTS ARE OPEN!
đď¸ YOU WILL BE BLOCKED! IF YOU'RE SPAMMING LIKE WITHOUT REBLOGGING!
â PRE RELATIONSHIP :
GENTLE LOVE
âloving you is the easiest thing,â he murmured against your skin, his voice low and comforting, as if he was sharing a secret meant only for you.
COLD ICE POPSICLE! ( â )
satoru gojo, suguru geto, you and your friends sit in the back of the school building, smoking and talking, joint in hands. it was summer and heat waves swimming around freely, you eating some ice cream, licking and slurping while your eyes focus on your two friends, who knows that might not be the only thing you lick that day.
YOU WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE WORLDS BIGGEST IDIOT
the first time you meet your senior, and you think they are the weirdest and most idiots person you've ever met, especially that special-albino looking kid, gojo satoru.
FALL APART? NAH, JUST MENTAL BREAKDOWN
gojo found you training in the middle of the night only for you to have a mental breakdown in front of him. so he brings you to geto's dorm room to calm you down, also for gojo to find behind geto's action on why he is so gentle with you.
â IN RELATIONSHIPS :
THE ONE WITH TWINS BOYFRIENDS
dating gojo and geto is always fun and games, but you know what's the most fun thing you could do with having two boyfriends? dressing them up like twins.
STARS AROUND SCARS
you were just trying to draw some stars on your boyfriend, not knowing simple things could be so hard when you have two needy boyfriends.
ALWAYS THE BRIDESMAID NEVER THE BRIDE (01) , (02) , (02.1)
the downfall of your relationship after suguru's moral compass went south.
THE ONE WITH THE PRANK
living with you is all fun and games. . . until you start pulling all of these harmless pranks on them.
CAN YOU HANDLE IT, BABY? ( â )
you are sitting there in the living room, drowning under the tongue-tied make-out sessions before your other boyfriends walk in, happily watching the two of you while touching himself.
GOOD GIRL GO TO HEAVEN ( â )
after a long day of assembling a lot of furniture and decorating your new house, they decided they want to test drive the new bed with you.
HUNTER GOJO
you and your two boyfriends just moved in together and decided to go shopping for some furniture and other stuff, and gojo satoru? he has another purpose: hunting for a perfect bed for sex and humiliated you. [ soon ]
TUTORIAL : HOW TO GET IGNORE BY YOUR GIRLFRIEND BECAUSE YOU'RE PISSING HER OFF WHEN SHE'S ON HER PERIOD BY GOJO SATORU.
you are on your second day of your period. your mood is bad, your stomach is killing you, and your boyfriend? he's an asshole who can't stop teasing you and makes you cry. [soon]
SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS
it's been years since the hidden inventory incident, you and your two boyfriends already graduate and are working for jujutsu. . . but nobody knows your struggling, nobody knows how you're the only one who's stuck in 2006 while everybody moves on, not even your boyfriends, and when they do, it's already too late.
ONE TOO MANY
the first time you have an argument with your two boyfriends is because they've been ignoring you for weeks, so you return the favor.
SHUT UP, STOP IT! ( â )
there is nothing better than make-up sex after you and your two lovely boyfriends, having an argument.
PAIN, SUFFERING AND JESUS
feeling like shit? feeling nauseous? you are having a fever? don't worry, your two amazing boyfriends are ready to take care of you!
HYPOTHETICALLY, UPS?!
you chuckle softly, your eyes twinkling with playful mischief. âhypothetically, you should propose to me properly,â you tease, enjoying the light-heartedness of the moment.
YOU AND YOUR INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS? 100 TIMES NEED A THERAPIST!
you and all of your disturbing intrusive thoughts definitely need a therapist because it scared the shit out of them.
IDIOTS AND SEAWEED
your two boyfriends got too protective over you, so what's better than to give them a little bit of seaweed and salt water?
HELP ME MAN!
you, their little girlfriend, scared the shit out of your boyfriends. they don't know why, how, them, the strongest jujutsu sorcerers in the modern world are scared of their girlfriend.
HIS TIP? IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY TIP!
you just got your nails done, and geto is the one who paid for it. so as your way to appreciate his gesture you decided to get your nails color with the same color of his tip, which results in gojo's relentless jealousy.
NOT FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES
do you know what tea could affect your relationship? making you have an argument with your boyfriends because you thought they were overprotective and overbearing.
FIVE AND ONE DIFFERENT WAYS TO SAY I LOVE YOU
your boyfriends are perfect in every sense, flawless in the ways that matter. they possess every one of the five love languages and master each one effortlessly. whether itâs the tender touch of reassurance, words that lift you higher, gifts that show how much they care, acts of service that make your life smoother, or simply being there when you need them, they never fail to make you feel cherished.
SCARS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL
all scars and everything, you are still the most beautiful girl to your boyfriends. and they will always remind you, every single day until they leave no room for you to feel insecure.
SUGURUUUU, DO SOMETHING!
you and gojo are insufferable, especially when gojo decides he wants to be annoying and tries to get under your skin. you always come running to geto and telling him to do something about gojo.

would you do satosugu discovering their "friend" (both of them have a fatass crush on m!reader) is a teen dad, and just all of them chaotically taking care of a baby. (like those collage students raising a baby tiktoks?)
ok so technically i only write for blue lock buttttttttttt⌠i am more than willing to make an exception for this. this is also my favorite niche of satosugu fics so im super honored someone requested it from me
tags: male reader has a foster daughter bc hell yeah girl dads, unnamed child bc that's too much for me, reader is a sorcerer, found family but in a janked up kinda way, whipped satosugu, pre-hidden inventory so everyone is in high school in this this a long one yall
part two coming soon!
â
when assigned an extremely harsh mission, you find an orphaned child barely a year old within all the rumble. you soon found out her family was recently killed in the destruction. unsure of what would happen to her after this, you decided to take her as your own.
â
scared of any judgment, you didnât tell anyone about her so only a few higher-ups were aware. luckily you were allowed to live off campus so you two could have more space and privacy.
â
however the physical effects of raising a kid all on your own at such a young age were certainly showing. you came to school visibly worn down, often falling asleep in the middle of class and taking more absences than usual.
â
the first people to notice, of course, were gojo and geto. as nosy as they were, they tried not to push it, knowing you had just come back from a really taxing mission. though they did get more and more suspicious whenever you didnât let them visit your new place.
â
however one day, they did spot you out in public wearing a baby carrier with, of course, a baby theyâd never seen before resting right inside. they immediately came up to you and bombarded you with multiple questions before you got them to chill out and explained everything.
â
wanting you to take some time off (and win you over), they offer to take care of her regularly. who were you to refuse? after all, it is free babysitting and you were already using up so much money hiring actual babysitters.
â
during their first babysitting job, you thanked them profusely before going back into your room and instantly falling asleep the moment your body hit your bed, taking a very well-deserved nap.
â
you see, gojo was already pretty hesitant about you having a kid around. this was before he took in megumi so he found basically any child gross and annoying. (though heâs somehow even more attracted to you now that youâre a dad.)
â
coughs dilf lover gojo i mean what?
â
so when gojo picked up your baby for the first time, she immediately cried when they made eye contact and he got so so personally offended that he started rethinking this whole babysitting thing.
â
the first thirty minutes or so of taking care of your kid went pretty okay. that was until she started crying again and neither of them knew why.
â
you see, these idiots have no idea how to care for a child.
â
they frantically tried to calm her down and figure out what was wrong without needing to wake you. they checked if she was hurt in any way, she definitely wasnât hungry since they already fed her, nor did she need to be changed. gojo even called shoko to see if she could do anything.
â
when they eventually saw her crawling towards your room and sobbing right outside your door, hesitantly let her in to see her climb onto your bed and lay down with you, realizing she just missed you the whole time. that entire experience made them so exhausted that they almost climbed into bed with you. but when they saw the gratitude on your face after you woke up, it made it all worth it.
â
luckily the next few times they watched over her, babysitting got more and more easy as she grew used to them.
â
they start coming over so often to look after her that your place basically becomes their second home.
â
geto is in charge of doing her hair since the last time gojo attempted it, it was just a big mess of hair ties and ribbons. getoâs definitely not complaining since he loves to get her ready. in fact, geto does a lot of the responsible stuff when taking care of her since gojo, hmm whatâs a nice way to put it, lacks a lot of the necessary skills.
â
oh yeah, remember what i said about gojo hating younger children? yeah, that completely changes as he spends more time with your daughter. heâs almost always playing with her or showing up with a brand new toy or stuffed animal just for her. he ends up loving her so so much and wants to be her cool fun dad.
â
unfortunately both of them are way too nice when it comes to disciplining her. they let her get away with so much. late bedtimes, too much tv, grabbing any treats she wants off the grocery store shelves. how can they not spoil such an adorable little girl like her!?
â
whatâs also unfortunate is how they try to drag you into it.
âcome on, y/n. let loose a little. cake for dinner does sound pretty appetizing right now.â
âcome on. just let her watch ten more minutes before bed.â gojo lazed on the couch with her on his lap. âbesides this cartoon is starting to get good.â
âcome onnn⌠just let her buy it.â geto held up a sparkly pink dress you already told him she doesnât need with his own sparkles in his eyes. âsheâll look so cute in it. i promise iâll pay you back.â
â
their hearts explode whenever youâre affectionate with her. they love the way you gently rock her in your arms while humming a sweet lullaby, slowly lulling her to sleep. the way they see you kiss her forehead after placing her into the crib before quickly turning around and acting like they werenât staring the whole time. they fall head over heels for you for probably the twentieth time by now since they met you but those times were definitely the hardest.
â
theyâve been in her life for a good while so when she begins talking more frequently, she starts calling them her papas as she does with you. gojo aka former âugh kids are so gross and ickyâ feels his heart combusting whenever she calls him that and he owns that title proudly. meanwhile geto feels so endeared and honored that she sees him that way.
â
âweâre not the stepdads. weâre the dads that stepped up!â looking asses.đ
â
the secret of you having a kid doesnât last for long since these two canât keep quiet about it. theyâre just way too happy and want to show her off. especially gojo who scrolls through 100s of photos of her while gushing about her to basically anyone whoâll listen. shoko and nanami are the most common targets whenever this happens.
â
he even ends up showing photos of you and your daughter napping together (that you had no idea he took), making you snatch his phone away in embarrassment.
â
whenever you guys go out on family dates to go to the beach or picnicking, geto always takes the time to dress her up with pretty hairstyles and cute little outfits. he absolutely loves doting on her.
â
they love her with all their hearts and would do absolutely anything for her. sheâs so lucky to have three weird dads take care of her and raise her. a very odd and⌠unconventional family dynamic but an amazing one nonetheless. this family only grows bigger and bigger once gojo takes in megumi and geto practically adopts mimiko and nanako.
please read my rules before following

loml â gojo satoru and geto suguru.
Satoru, leaning back with a gentle sigh, broke the silence. "I think... Iâve fallen in love with them." he confessed, his voice soft, almost vulnerable. He looked at Suguru. âGenâsenpai.â Suguru turned his head slightly, his dark purple eyes finding Satoruâs, a hint of surprise flickering across his features. He didnât speak right away, but then, slowly, a quiet chuckle rumbled in his chest. He smiled against his shoulder. âYeah⌠I have too.â

masterlist
u s and t h e m
if you want to, tip! <3
YOU WERE READY. The air around you crackled with cursed energy, thick and oppressive as it swirled between the high-rise buildings of Tokyo. The cursed spirit looming before you was grotesque, a monstrous thing with far too many eyes and limbs jutting out at unnatural angles. Its twisted form made your skin crawl, its movements erratic as it lashed out, causing havoc in the streets.
You shifted your stance, preparing for the next strike, your eyes scanning the chaos around you. Despite the carnage, your focus wasnât just on the spirit. Out of the corner of your eye, you spotted someone standing a few feet away.
He looked⌠off. His usually neat, smooth hair was fraying at the ends, loose strands sticking out from the messy bun he usually wore. His dark blue Jujutsu uniform was tattered and streaked with dirt, his face marked with fatigue. There was a haunted, weary look in his eyes.
He wasnât his usual self, that much was clear. The "I've been through some stuff" energy radiated from him like a second skin. You could see the wear of battle etched into his features, the faint tremor in his hands as he stood, catching his breath. This wasnât someone you remembered.
Ah, he was a first year student.
"Alright, first year." you called out, adjusting your grip on your yari spear. "Looks like Iâll finish this off."
You lunged forward, aiming for the cursed spiritâs core, whenâ
"Wait! Stop! " Suguru suddenly yelled, nearly tripping over himself to get in front of you, arms flailing.
You skidded to a stop just before the spear tip met cursed flesh. Blinking in confusion, you watched as the first year frantically gestured for you to back off. "I have to consume it."
"...Consume it?"
"Yeah." He nodded, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "It's kinda my thing."
You stared at him. This guy was the new first-year? Your kouhai? "Alright... I guess thatâs something." You lowered your spear reluctantly, watching the younger boy as he took a deep breath, about to do his curse-consumption thing.
Before he could make a move, though, a familiar voice echoed from behind. "Uncool, Suguru. So uncool."
You didnât even need to turn to know who it was. Gojo Satoru, in all his flashy glory, strolled into view. His hands were stuffed in his pockets, his sunglasses sitting lazily on his face, and a smirk that screamed I-know-everything-better-than-you plastered across his features. Ah, this one you remembered too well.Â
The younger boy, Suguru, groaned, his expression dropping faster than the cursed spirit could regenerate its limbs. "Satoru, not now."
"Oh no, now's the perfect time!" Gojo said, waving dramatically. "Imagine it! Big, heroic finish, and then boom! You, standing there... eating the curse? So uncool, dude. Eat it later!"
Suguru pinched the bridge of his nose. "It's not like I have a choice. Itâs literally my technique."
"Yeah, but couldnât you, like, exorcise it or something first? Make it cooler?" Gojo shrugged, shooting you a thumbs-up like you were both in on some inside joke. "You get what I mean, right?"
You glanced at Suguru, then at Gojo, back at Suguruâwho, despite his calm demeanor, looked like he wanted to punch Gojo in his perfect teeth. "Uh, sure." you offered, trying not to laugh. "You could at least add some flair to it?"
"See?" Gojo said triumphantly. "The senpai agrees with me!"
Suguru groaned louder this time, side-eyeing you with an "I-can't-believe-this" look. "Youâre not helping."
"Just saying!" Gojo continued, "if I were you, I'd finish it with style. Maybe spin around, give a little dramatic speech, then eat the curse."
Suguru ignored him, clearly over the theatrics, and raised his hand, muttering something under his breath. The cursed spirit let out one final, unsettling screech before being sucked into his palm in an anticlimactic puff.
"See?" Gojo chimed in again, arms spread wide. "Boring."
"Shut. Up." Suguru shot back, though his face was starting to crack into a small smile despite himself.
You couldn't help it anymoreâyou burst out snickered. "You two are something else."
Gojo grinned, basking in the chaos heâd created, while Suguru shook his head, walking off with a quiet sigh, muttering about how he "shouldâve stayed home today."
"Hey, wait up!" Gojo yelled after him. "Letâs grab ramen! You can cry into your bowl about how uncool you are!"
You glanced at your yari, wondering why you ever thought cursed spirits were the hardest thing to deal with today.
THIS WASNâT THE USUAL WAY YOU WOULD BE HERE. You usually ate alone. So it was quite a surprise from the ramen house that you asked for a table of four. The familiar scent of ramen wafted through the small shop, warm and inviting as you took your usual seat near the window.Â
It had been a long day, but the evening promised something interestingâmeeting the new first-year students of Tokyo Jujutsu High. Special-grade sorcerers, at that. You had already been briefed that they were joining the ranks alongside you and Yuki Tsukumo, which was a rarity in itself. It was only fitting to see who these up-and-coming powerhouses were. You called Yuki about it and she raved about wanting to see you more than the younger ones. But you supposed it's just because she missed you.Â
You heard them before you saw them.
"Iâm telling you, you donât need to use that technique so recklessly!" came a voice that could only belong to someone with zero filterâGojo Satoru, if you remembered correctly.
"And Iâm telling you, you donât need to be so reckless in general." another voice retortedâGeto Suguru, calm but undeniably exasperated.
The door swung open, and in they came. Gojo Satoru, all energy and loud confidence, sauntered in first with that infamous swagger, followed closely by Geto Suguru, who looked as though he'd spent the entire walk here contemplating how to silence Gojo for good. Behind them was Ieiri Shoko, who was a bit quiet and composed, giving them both the same look you often gave people who were trying too hard. They had gone back to their accommodation and changed clothes first.Â
You couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia. Watching Gojo and Geto bicker reminded you so much of Namie and Kaiko. The way they would argue over the smallest details, turning even a simple walk into a battlefield of egos, was something you had long learned to endure. And here they were, in front of you, a new generationâbut the dynamic was eerily familiar.
Shoko, on the other hand, seemed calm in the storm, much like yourself. She had that air of detachment, a stillness that balanced out the chaos around her. For a brief moment, you wondered if these three would get along with Namie and Kaiko. Gojo and Geto certainly matched their energy, and Shoko would probably enjoy some quiet conversation amidst the madness. The thought brought a small smile to your face.
âOi, senpai!â Gojoâs voice snapped you out of your thoughts. He had already claimed the seat next to you, throwing an arm over the back of his chair like he owned the place. âWeâre not late, are we? You didnât order without us, right?â
Geto frowned. âSatoru, thatâs rude! You shouldnât be so informal with Zeninâsenpai!â
âNo, itâs fine. Donât worry. You also donât have to call me Zeninâsenpai.â
âThenâŚ.â
âJust use Genâsenpai. Or whatever. I donât really particularly care about hierarchy.â
Gojo grinned. âThen can I call you Gen, then?â
âFeel free.â You tell him, with a small smile.
âAha! Then I will!â
âYou also arenât late, donât worry.â you replied, holding back a chuckle. âAnd I was just thinking how the three of you remind me of some old friends.â
âOh? Iâm flattered.â Gojo leaned back, grinning smugly. âMustâve been quite the group if they were anything like me.â
Geto rolled his eyes as he took the seat across from you. âIâm guessing they were probably nothing like you, Satoru.â
âSee?â You chuckled, glancing between the two of them. Suguru noticed a small sliver of sadness in your eyes. âThatâs exactly what I mean. You remind me of them too well.â
Gojoâs curiosity was piqued. âOh, they sound like fun. Were they good-looking? Maybe Iâve got some competition.â
âYeah.â you deadpanned for a bit. âWellâŚ.except they didnât spend their entire day thinking about how cool they were.â
Suguru snorted at that, and even Shoko cracked a tiny smile as she took her seat.
âSo, howâs it feel being special-grade sorcerers?â you asked, steering the conversation back on track, looking at Suguru and Satoru.Â
âAmazing!â Gojo replied without hesitation, flipping his sunglasses up to rest on his head. âBut thatâs just my natural state.â
Geto shot him a sideways glance. âHumility was never an option, was it?â
âLook whoâs talking, Mr. 'I-can-consume-anything.ââ Gojo grinned, waggling his fingers in mock imitation of Getoâs technique.
Shoko sighed, taking a slow sip of water. âItâs like babysitting.â
You smiled again, a strange warmth settling in your chest. These three were so young, and yet there was already something special about themâa camaraderie that, despite the constant bickering, spoke of deep bonds being forged. You could see them going far, together, just as you and your friends once had.
For a brief moment, the thought of Namie and Kaiko sitting around this very table, throwing playful jabs at each other, floated through your mind. You could almost hear their laughter mixing with the voices of Gojo, Geto, and Shoko. It was a fleeting but comforting image.
âTheyâd like you, I think.â you said softly, more to yourself than to anyone else.
âHuh? Who would?â Gojo asked, eyebrows raised.
âOld friends, the ones I was talking about.â you replied with a shrug, letting the nostalgia slip away. âYou remind me of them. And I think you three would get along well.â
Suguru tilted his head slightly, catching the faint note of wistfulness in your voice, but didnât press further. Gojo, of course, was already distracted by the arrival of his ramen, declaring it to be âthe best in Tokyo, hands down!â
As the bowls of ramen arrived and the conversation continued, you couldnât help but feel a sense of anticipation. You had a feeling that these three would bring a whirlwind of changeâjust like the generation before them. And as chaotic as they seemed now, you knew they had something special, something that would take them far.
It was going to be an interesting journey ahead.
The steaming bowls of ramen were placed in front of each of you, and for a brief moment, the chatter paused as everyone seemed to savor the smell. You watched as Gojo Satoru practically dove into his bowl, using his chopsticks with a level of enthusiasm that was almost theatrical.Â
Geto Suguru, on the other hand, ate calmly, every movement deliberate, as though he were analyzing the flavors. Ieiri Shoko picked at hers lazily, more interested in observing the antics of her companions than actually eating. You couldnât eat that much, you werenât that hungry.
"Best in Tokyo, hands down!" Gojo proclaimed between slurps, noodles half-hanging from his mouth. "You really know your spots, Gen."
âSatoru, call them senpai, Genâsenpai.â
âNuh-uh!â
âHuh, what do you mean, nuhâuh?â
You smirked, taking a more modest sip of your broth. "Iâve been around. Knew youâd appreciate this place, though."
Geto raised an eyebrow, still focused on his bowl. "Appreciate it? Iâm surprised he hasnât asked to marry the chef yet."
Gojo leaned back, wiping his mouth with a dramatic flourish. "Who says I havenât? Ramen this good deserves a lifelong commitment."
Shoko let out a quiet snort, her lips twitching into the ghost of a smile. "Pretty sure you wouldnât last a week in a marriage. Too many noodle-related distractions."
"Hey, Iâm capable of multi-tasking, Shoko." Gojo shot back, wagging his chopsticks in Shokoâs direction. "I could juggle ramen and romance. Watch me."
You couldnât help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. Watching the way they interacted, their personalities bouncing off each other like well-practiced banter, it was clear that, despite the joking and teasing, there was a connection here. Something deeper than the surface-level bickering. The kind of bond that would only strengthen over time.
Geto finished his bowl and set his chopsticks down with a soft sigh. "Youâre ridiculous, Satoru."
"Ridiculously awesome, you mean." Gojo corrected, leaning back with a satisfied grin, clearly proud of himself.
"You knowâŚ.." you started, leaning back in your chair as well. "It's good to see this. You three, I mean."
Gojo raised an eyebrow, now curious. "Good to see us?"
"Yeah." You nodded, glancing between the three of them. "Special-grade sorcerers, the strongest of your generation, yet here you are, acting like normal students. Itâs nice to see the kids in you still be kids. It pleases me.â
Geto smiled, a little softer now. "Weâre not always this... chaotic. Just when Satoruâs around."
Gojo held up a hand in mock protest. "Iâm not the chaotic one! You guys are just too boring to keep up."
"Right, rightâŚ." Shoko muttered, taking another sip of her water. "Because youâre the epitome of normalcy."
You chuckled, shaking your head. "Trust me, Iâve seen worse. But seeing you three like this reminds me of the old days. Back when my friends and I thought we were invincible too."
There was a brief pause, a fleeting moment of introspection that settled over the table. Gojo tilted his head, his usual playful expression giving way to something a bit more thoughtful. "Were you?"
"In a way, yeah," you admitted. "Or at least, we thought we were. UntilâŚ.." You stopped.
Suguruâs gaze sharpened slightly, as if he understood where the conversation was heading. "You lost someone, didnât you?"
You nodded, feeling the weight of those memories resurface. "We all did, eventually. Itâs part of this life."
Gojo looked unusually quiet now, his chopsticks twirling between his fingers. "But you kept going, huh?"
"Had to. Have to." you replied with a faint smile. "Just like you will."
The heaviness lingered for a second longer before Gojo, in typical fashion, broke the silence. "Well, weâre not going anywhere anytime soon. Iâm too good-looking to die young, you know?"
Suguru rolled his eyes, and Shokoâs deadpan expression returned. "Thatâs one way to look at it."
"Hey, Iâm just keeping things light, Suguru!" Gojo grinned, his usual cockiness back in full force. "Besides, Iâve got big plans. No way am I letting a cursed spirit mess up this face."
You laughed, but the truth of the matter was still clear. These threeâGojo, Geto, and Ieiriâwere in for a long road ahead. And even though they didnât fully grasp it yet, they would one day understand the weight of their roles as sorcerers. They would carry their own losses, just as you and Yuki had. But for now, it was good to see them like this, carefree, in the moment, enjoying a simple bowl of ramen without the looming threat of the world crashing down on them.
As the meal wound down, the conversation drifted back into lighter territory. Gojo made exaggerated claims about his future as the âgreatest sorcerer ever.â Suguru countered with dry remarks, and Shoko threw in the occasional sarcastic comment that kept them both in check.
You paid the bill and stood up, stretching your arms as you prepared to leave. "Well, Iâll see you all soon." you said, nodding toward the three of them. "Try not to kill each other before then."
"No promises, Gen!" Gojo grinned, already halfway out the door, Suguru groaning in tow.
Shoko offered you a small wave as she followed them out, her calm demeanor as steady as ever.
Watching them go, you couldn't help but smile again. They were a lot like you and your old friends once wereâfull of potential, full of life. You only hoped theyâd find a way to hold onto that as long as they could.
And for a brief moment, you found yourself thinking, Yeah, they wouldâve gotten along just fine.
HE WONDERS WHO YOU TRULY WERE. Suguru Geto had heard whispers about you long before he ever saw your face. The rumors circled like an ever-present breeze, spoken in quiet tones by those who thought no one was listening.
His father, who worked as a window for your motherâs family, often mentioned you in passingâa name that carried weight, history, and an air of mystery.Â
The whispers painted a picture of someone who was more than just another sorcerer. You were part of an ancient clan, one of those distant, elusive families that even the higher-ups at Jujutsu High regarded with a level of reverence. And yet, despite the importance of your lineage, there was something different about you.
When Gojo Satoru spoke of you, it was always with a casual fondness, even if he had just met you the other day. It didnât take Suguru long to piece together why. You and Satoru were very distant relatives, after all.
And your life was always going to be a part of that tangled web of sorcerer families that had been interwoven for centuries. But Satoruâs interest in you wasnât just out of obligation, Suguru knew that much was obvious.Â
There was something else there. Something about the way his normally cocky tone softened whenever your name came up, even if only slightly. He was interested in you, Suguru knows. Satoru thinks it's because you were just that good of a sorcerer.
 And your father being Zenin Naoki, it was a big deal. If they saw more of your technique, then Satoru would end up raving about it. But you werenât around as much to show it. And with how good you were with cursed tools, Suguru doubted you ever needed to use your cursed technique.
Suguru had been curious, of course. How could he not be? Special-grade sorcerers werenât exactly common, and from the rumors he had heard, you were even more active in the field than Yuki Tsukumo herself. That alone was enough to make anyone stand out. But it wasnât just your powerâit was the sheer volume of reports that came in after every mission you completed.Â
From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the more traditional grounds of Kyoto Jujutsu High, your name seemed to pop up everywhere. And not in small ways, either. The curses you dealt with were of a caliber that even seasoned sorcerers hesitated to face. Yet you faced them head-on, time and time again.
Suguru leaned back in his chair, gazing up at the ceiling of his dorm room as he thought about it. He had never met someone so relentlessly active in the field. It was like you didnât know how to slow down. Missions from one end of the country to the other, reports coming in almost daily⌠Did you even sleep?Â
He frowned, the thought lingering in his mind. Even Tsukumo Yuki, at least what people whispered about her, as restless as she was, had her quiet moments of reflection, her times of retreat from the world. But you?
He hadn't even met you properly yet, but it was starting to feel like you were some kind of living legend, the sort of person who operated on a different plane of existence entirely.
âYou think too much, Suguru!â came Satoruâs voice, snapping him out of his thoughts. Gojo was lounging on the bed across the room, balancing a ball of cursed energy on the tip of his finger, a bored expression on his face.
âAm I?â Suguru shot back, eyes narrowing slightly.
âYeah, youâre always brooding.â Satoru replied, letting the ball of cursed energy dissipate. âYouâve been thinking about them, havenât you?â
Suguru raised an eyebrow. "Them?"
Satoru grinned, almost like he was amused by the very thought. âYou know, them. The one everyone keeps talking about. My oh-so-talented distant distant distant distant distant distant relative.â
Suguru crossed his arms, his curiosity now fully piqued. âIâve heard the stories, sure. But itâs hard to believe someone is that active without collapsing from exhaustion at some point.â
Satoru laughed, loud and carefree. âYeah, Iâve thought that too! But I saw them in action the other day. Itâs wild. Theyâve got this⌠I donât know, this energy. Like theyâre always moving, always thinking five steps ahead. Itâs kinda scary, honestly.â
Suguru frowned, thinking back to the rumors. âIâve seen the mission reports. Theyâre everywhereâTokyo, Kyoto, even some out in the countryside. Youâd think theyâd take a break at some point.â
âMaybe theyâre just a robot, you know?â Satoru said, half-joking. âA cursed spirit-fighting machine, programmed to never sleep.â
âDoubtful.â Suguru muttered, though the mental image was amusing. âBut itâs strange. Thereâs something more to it. Theyâre not likeTsukumoâsenpai, you know? Tsukumoâsenpaiâs off on her own things half the time, but you can tell sheâs always thinking, always observing. From what Iâve heard, Genâsenpai just⌠goes. Like theyâre on autopilot.â
Satoru shrugged, not seeming too concerned. âEh, maybe itâs just their style. Youâll know more about them soon enough. BesidesâŚ..â he added with a teasing grin. âGenâSenpaiâs probably just like that. Theyâre probably just that good, like me!â
Suguru rolled his eyes. "That's not exactly comforting."
âYou worry too much, Suguru. If theyâre handling all these missions, thatâs a good thing. It means less work for us.â Satoru shot him a thumbs up, clearly pleased with this logic.
Suguru sighed, glancing out the window. The sun was setting, casting the sky in shades of orange and pink. Somewhere out there, you were probably on another mission, dealing with a curse that would make most sorcerers hesitate. And here he was, wondering just what kind of person could keep that pace up without burning out.
âI just hope they know when to slow down.â Suguru muttered, almost to himself.
Satoru smirked, catching the comment. âIâm sure that Genâsenpai knows to pace themselves. Theyâre more senior than us, you know? Trust the process!â
HE COULDNâT SLEEP. The cold mountain air greeted Suguru as he entered the small convenience store tucked away in the hills. He had been on a mission with Satoru and Shoko, but after hours of trekking through the wilderness and dealing with a minor cursed spirit, his stomach had started to complain loudly. As he wandered the aisles, looking for something that could pass for a meal, he caught a glimpse of someone familiar.
It was you.
Standing near the refrigerated section, you were calmly perusing the drinks. Suguru blinked, a bit surprised, but then it made sense. You were always on the move, tackling missions in places most sorcerers wouldnât bother with. This isolated mountain range seemed right up your alley.
He offered a nod of acknowledgment, and you returned it, your expression neutral but not unfriendly. Suguru didnât expect much conversationâafter all, you were both here on businessâbut as he grabbed a rice ball and some instant noodles, he found himself wandering closer to where you stood.
"Didn't expect to see you here, Genâsenpai." Suguru said casually, placing his items in his basket. âThought youâd be halfway across the country, based on the reports Iâve seen.â
You gave a small, almost imperceptible smile as you grabbed a bottle of green tea. âI was asked by a nearby temple to help strengthen their barrier defenses.â
Suguru raised an eyebrow, genuinely intrigued. âA temple, huh? So even the local monks know who to call when things get tough?â
You shrugged lightly, as if it were no big deal. âItâs a small place, but theyâve had problems with cursed spirits slipping through their wards recently. I figured Iâd take care of it.â
âSounds like a fun assignment.â Suguru smirked, grabbing a few more snacks from the shelf. "How long have you been here?"
âJust a couple of days.â you replied, your tone calm, as though discussing something routine. âShould be done by tomorrow.â
Suguru glanced at you, curious. âAnd after that? Another mission?â
You paused for a moment, as if considering your answer. âMost likely. Thereâs always something else.â
Suguru chuckled. âYou really donât stop, do you?â
âNeither do you, donât you?â you countered, meeting his gaze with a knowing look. You smiled. âI blinked and suddenly a second year.â
He couldnât help but smile at that. You had a point. "True, but Iâm not out here fixing temple barriers in the middle of nowhere."
You tilted your head, a faint flicker of amusement in your eyes. âSomeone has to.â
Suguru nodded, understanding the unspoken weight behind your words. The life of a sorcerer wasnât exactly predictable, and while you handled more than your fair share of missions, you did it because you knew it was necessary.
âWell, if you ever need a break, weâre staying nearby. Satoruâs probably driving Shoko crazy by now. Seeing you would probably save her.â Suguru said with a grin, imagining his two teammates bickering back at their base.
âIâll keep that in mind.â you said, though it was hard to tell whether you were serious or just humoring him. âIf I finish fast, then Iâll contact you.â
Suguru gave a slight wave as he made his way to the checkout, his basket filled with enough food to get him through the night. As he left the store, he glanced back at you one more time. You were always moving, always working.
He wondered if you ever let yourself take a moment to breathe, but somehow, he doubted it. Still, for now, you were just two sorcerers in a convenience store, sharing a quiet moment amidst the chaos of your lives.
Suguru stood by the checkout counter, glancing at you with an expression somewhere between disbelief and confusion. He was sure you had a mission scheduled far from this remote mountain village. There had been reportsâhe knew the kind. It seemed like you were constantly juggling assignments from all over the country.
âYouâre supposed to be somewhere else, right?â Suguru asked as you both placed your items on the counter.
âI know.â you replied, unfazed. âBut I won't turn down a job.â Your tone was as steady as always, like this was just another day for you.
Suguru shook his head slightly, half impressed, half exasperated. You were relentless, never one to back down from work. He had heard plenty about how you balanced multiple missions in different regions. But there was something different about seeing it up close.
As the cashier rang up your items, Suguru reached into his pocket to pull out his wallet. But before he could hand over any cash, you placed a hand on his wrist and shook your head.
âPut it away, Getoâkun.â you said with a small, amused smile. âI canât let a kouhai pay for things.â
Suguru blinked, slightly taken aback but not entirely surprised. You had an air of authority about you, not just in your skills but in how you carried yourself. He sighed, reluctantly slipping his wallet back into his coat.
âYou sure?â he asked, though he already knew what your answer would be.
âIâm sure.â you replied smoothly as you handed the cashier the money for both your purchases. âI know you get paid as much as a minister like me, but it's better to keep that money for yourself. Iâm not letting a kouhai pay.â
As you left the store, bags in hand, the cool evening air settled around the two of you. The path you were taking happened to lead in the same direction, toward both the shrine you were tasked with protecting and Suguruâs temporary accommodations. You fell into step beside each other, the quiet of the mountain enveloping the conversation.
After a few minutes of comfortable silence, you spoke up. âGetoâkunâŚ. Why did you decide to become a sorcerer?â
Suguru glanced at you, puzzled by the sudden question. âHuh?â
You kept your gaze forward, the faint sound of your footsteps mingling with the rustling of the wind. âIâm just curious. Some people ignore the call. They choose to live normal lives. So⌠whatâs your reason?â
Suguru blinked, surprised by the depth of your question. For a moment, he wasnât sure how to answer. Most people didnât bother asking why someone became a sorcerer. It was just assumed that if you had the ability, you used it. But you werenât like most people.
He thought for a moment, his usual confidence dimmed slightly as he reflected on your question. âI guess⌠I wanted to protect those who canât protect themselves.â he said eventually, his voice steady but sincere. âIt sounds clichĂŠ, but thatâs the truth. I want to be honorable in that duty.â
You looked at him, studying his expression. âHonorable, huh?â
He nodded, feeling a little more certain now. âYeah. Thereâs a lot of bad out there, and I guess I just want to be someone who stands in the way of that.â
A faint smile touched your lips. âThatâs a good answer, Getoâkun.â
He chuckled lightly, scratching the back of his head. âYeah? Well, itâs the only one Iâve got.â
You both continued walking, the temple drawing closer in the distance. Suguru found himself thinking more about your question, wondering if maybe you had asked him because of your own reasonsâyour own constant, relentless drive to take on mission after mission. But he didnât press. Not yet.
âWhy do you ask?â he ventured, curiosity getting the better of him.
You shrugged. âJust wondered what keeps you going.â
Suguru smiled softly. âSame thing that keeps you going, I guess. Weâre both too stubborn to quit.â
You smiled slightly as you listened to Suguru's answer, a soft chuckle escaping your lips. "Thatâs not a bad reason, Getoâkun." you said, your tone warm but thoughtful.
Suguru shook his head with a faint grin. "Maybe not. But Satoru thinks differently. He says itâs naive.â
That earned a snicker from you, and you glanced at him with an amused glint in your eyes. "Gojoâkun knows too much about jujutsu society. Thatâs why heâs cynical. It's hard not to be when you're aware of all the ugliness." You paused for a moment, considering your words before speaking again, a little more seriously this time. âBut your dreams, GetoâkunâŚ.theyâre beautiful. You want to protect people. Thereâs nothing wrong with that.â
Suguru blinked, a little surprised by the genuine compliment. He hadnât expected to hear that from youâsomeone who was always so grounded, so focused on the realities of the world. For a moment, it felt like his idealism wasnât something to be ashamed of.
But then your expression shifted, more serious now. "Just donât bear it too heavily, okay?" you warned softly. âItâll hurt you if you do.â
Suguru frowned slightly, sensing the weight behind your words. âWhat do you mean?â
You exhaled, your gaze fixed on the path ahead. âBeing a jujutsu sorcerer is proportionality, Getoâkun. Thereâs a balance in what we do. If you shoulder too muchâif you put everyone else ahead of yourselfâitâll tear you apart. Iâve seen it happen.â
Suguru listened carefully, taking in your words. He had always admired your strength and resolve, but there was something about the way you spoke now, as though you had learned these lessons the hard way. "I get what youâre saying, but... if I donât do it, who will?"
You gave him a smile, as if you knew that line of thinking all too well. âYou donât have to bear it alone. Thatâs what Iâm saying. Keep yourself in check. Youâre still young. You have Gojoâkun, donât you? Heâs your person. Talk to him when things get too heavy.â
Suguru felt a warmth creep up his neck as your words settled in. He was caught off guard, an unexpected blush rising to his cheeks. âUh⌠I mean, yeah, Satoru is definitelyââ His voice trailed off as he searched for the right words, suddenly aware of how closely you were watching him. There was something undeniably comforting in your gaze, and it made his heart race.
You smiled at him, a soft and encouraging expression that felt like a warm blanket on a chilly day. âI had someone like that too, you know? So I speak from experience.â
Suguruâs eyes widened in surprise, his curiosity piqued. âYou did?â
âOf course! Everyone needs a Gojoâkun in their life,â you said, your tone teasing but affectionate. âSomeone to share the burden with, even if they annoy you half the time.â
Suguru couldnât help but chuckle at that, a lightness filling the air between you. âThat sounds like him.â
âRight?â you replied, laughter dancing in your voice. âBut really, itâs more than just sharing the burdens. Itâs about the support. Theyâre there to lift you up when you feel like youâre sinking.â You paused, looking away for a moment as if reflecting on your own experiences. âAnd to keep you from doing something really stupid.â
He tilted his head, a playful smirk forming. âLike what? Getting into trouble?â
You met his gaze, your smile transforming into something a bit more mischievous. âOh, you know. Like trying to fight a curse way out of your league without backup.â You winked at him, and Suguruâs heart skipped a beat. The easy banter felt effortless, and for a moment, the weight of the world seemed to lift.
âI would never do something like that.â he protested, crossing his arms in mock indignation. âIâm far too responsible.â
âResponsible, huh?â You raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying it. âIâve seen the way you and him bicker. If that isnât a recipe for trouble, I donât know what is. Yaga must suffer having to deal with the two of you often, doesnât he?â
Suguru laughed, shaking his head. âAlright, fair point. But you still have to admit that Satoru can be a handful.â
âTrue enough, I suppose.â you conceded with a playful grin. âBut thatâs what makes him so much fun. And itâs nice knowing that someoneâs got your back, even if theyâre a little ridiculous sometimes.â
Suguruâs heart warmed at your words, a feeling of camaraderie blossoming between you. âYouâre right. I guess itâs nice knowing I can lean on him, even if he doesnât always act like it.â
âExactly!â you said, your enthusiasm infectious. âAnd you can lean on me too, you know. Just because Iâm older doesnât mean I have all the answers.â
Suguru smiled, a genuine warmth spreading through him. âThanks. That means a lot.â He paused, hesitating for a moment before speaking again. âSo, who was your âpersonâ?â
You looked away, your expression turning thoughtful as you seemed to reflect on a memory that danced just out of reach. The shift was subtle, but he noticed how the light in your eyes dimmed slightly, as if the joy of the moment had been overshadowed by something unspoken.
âLetâs just say⌠life doesnât always work out the way you expect.â you replied softly, the weight of your past hanging in the air. âAnd it didnât work with that person.â
Suguruâs heart ached for you, sensing that there was more to your story than you let on. But before he could press for details, you turned back to him, the sparkle in your eyes returning as if you were determined to lighten the mood. âBut enough about me! Letâs focus on your beautiful dreams of saving the world. I mean, someone has to keep Gojoâkun in check, right?â
His laughter filled the space between you, dispelling the heaviness that had crept in for just a moment. âYeah, that sounds like a full-time job!â
âThen I suggest you get plenty of rest, then.â you said, your tone teasing but genuine. âYouâll need all the energy you can get if you plan to take on both Gojoâkun and the curses. Donât get injured too much too. Ieiriâchan deserves better than to suffer so much of you.â
Suguru nodded, feeling buoyed by the conversation. He didnât quite know how to express it, but he felt a deeper connection with youâsomething that transcended the usual mentor-mentee relationship. You understood him in a way that was comforting and invigorating all at once.
As you both continued walking, the setting sun painting the sky in shades of orange and pink, he couldnât help but feel grateful. âThanks for talking, really. It helps to know Iâm not alone in all of this, Genâsenpai.â
You smiled back at him, a soft, genuine expression that made his heart skip again. âAnytime, Getoâkun. Remember, youâve got more support than you think. Call me when you need me.â
âYâyes, Genâsenpai.â
You gave him a small nod, though your smile didnât quite reach your eyes. âThen Iâll be off. You worked hard today, Getoâkun. You should get some sleep.â
With that, you turned and began walking away, your footsteps steady yet purposeful. Geto Suguru hesitated for a moment, but he knew you had other matters to take care of. For the first time in a while, he thinks he doesnât want you to go.
HE DOESNâT KNOW IF THIS WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN. But this is what happened as time went on. Geto Suguru walked along the winding path, the fading light of dusk casting long shadows behind him.
As he pondered the warmth of your recent conversation, a thought flickered in the back of his mind, growing more insistent with each passing moment. Could his heart grow bigger?
He had always felt love for Satoru and every day, it seemed to grow fonder, wanting, fiery; it was a bond forged through shared struggles, laughter, and an unspoken understanding that went deeper than words.
But now, as he reflected on all the times you had been there for himâguiding him through his studies, sharing your insights on cursed techniques, and even demonstrating how to wield cursed objectsâhe realized that his feelings for you had blossomed into something unexpected.
Every time Suguru sought your advice, you responded without a momentâs hesitation. Whether it was late at night, after exhausting missions, or in the quiet spaces between battles, you always made time for him.
You never wavered, never hesitated to share your knowledge, your insight. It was more than just advice; you offered your kindness, your quiet strength, in a way that left him feeling both deeply grateful and, at times, overwhelmed by the depth of your care.
He had never been good at asking for help. Even back then, pride had been one of his most stubborn traits. Yet with you, it felt different. He didnât need to ask twice. You were always thereâan unwavering presence amidst the chaos of their lives as sorcerers. You were someone who believed in him, even on the days when he struggled to believe in himself.
"How do you do it?" Suguru asked one evening after a particularly grueling mission. His voice was softer than usual, his usual sharp edge dulled by exhaustion and something heavier, more introspective. The two of you were sitting on the steps of Jujutsu High, the weight of the dayâs battle settling in your bones, the moon casting a faint glow over the courtyard.
"Do what?" you asked, turning to face him, a gentle smile tugging at your lips. Your eyes sparkled with that same warmth he had come to rely on, the one that could lighten the weight of the world in a single glance.
"Stay... so steady." he murmured, rubbing the back of his neck, almost embarrassed by the vulnerability in his question. "No matter what happens, no matter how heavy it all gets⌠you never falter. How do you keep going?"
You looked at him for a long moment, as if considering your answer, before your smile deepened. "Because itâs not just about me, Getoâkun. Itâs about the people I care about. People like you, GojoâkunâŚ..my friends. Thatâs what keeps me steady. Even when itâs hard. Especially when itâs hard."
Suguruâs throat tightened, and he looked away, his gaze drifting toward the darkened horizon. He wasnât used to hearing those kinds of wordsânot directed at him. Not with such sincerity. "You make it sound so easy, senpai." he said, a bitter chuckle escaping his lips. "But sometimes itâs hard to keep going when everything feels like itâs falling apart."
You didnât respond immediately. Instead, you reached out and gently placed a hand on his shoulder, the warmth of your touch grounding him in the moment. "Itâs not easy. But you donât have to carry it all by yourself, Getoâkun. You donât have to face it alone."
He glanced at you then, his dark eyes meeting yours, searching for something in your gaze. You had always been there, always offering him that unwavering support, that steady presence he had come to admire so much.
It wasnât just your strength as a sorcerer that left him in awe, though you were undeniably powerful. It was your heart. The way you cared, the way you saw through his defenses and believed in himâeven when he didnât deserve it.
"Youâre always saying stuff like that." he said, his voice quieter now, more introspective. "Like itâs no big deal, like itâs just⌠who you are."
You tilted your head slightly, your smile softening. "Because it is who I am, Getoâkun. And who Iâll always be."
For a long time, neither of you spoke. Suguru felt the weight of those words, the sincerity in them wrapping around him like a balm to his weary soul. He admired you, more than he could ever put into words.
It wasnât just your strength or your skills as a sorcerer that left him in awe; it was thisâyour unshakable kindness, your ability to see through the darkness and offer him light, no matter how heavy things became.
Suguru let those words settle over him, the warmth of your presence easing the ache in his chest, even if only for a little while. And in that moment, he realized that no matter how heavy the burdens became, no matter how far he fellâheâd always have this. Heâd always have you, a constant light in his life, even when everything else seemed to crumble.
But he couldnât help wondering, deep down, if heâd ever be able to hold onto it. Or if the darkness inside him would eventually swallow it whole.
He exhaled slowly, leaning back on his elbows, gazing up at the sky. "You knowâŚ.." he said after a while, "itâs not just Satoru I stay for. Youâre⌠youâre part of the reason too, Genâsenpai."
Your smile wavered, just for a moment, your gaze softening as you studied him. "Iâm glad to hear that." you said quietly. "Iâm really glad, Getoâkun.â
âSuguru.â
âHm?â
âSenpai, you can call me Suguru too.â He whispers as he looks at you. âYou call Satoru and Shoko by their names now. You donât have to call me soâŚso formally.â
âOh.â You say and then you smile. âHave I made you feel distant? Iâm sorry, Suguruâkun.â
âNânoâŚ.itâs okay, senpai.â
âIâll make it up to you, Suguruâkun.â You say, pulling at his hand and grinned. âCome on, Iâll get us both some chocolate milk in the vending machine.â
âSenpaiââ
You giggled. âCome, Suguruâkun!â
Amid this warm affection, uncertainty gnawed at him. Would you ever return such feelings? Did you even see him in that light? And then there was Satoruâhis best friend, his other half. How could he possibly explain these newfound feelings? Would Satoru understand, or would he see it as a betrayal?
Suguru sighed, his heart heavy with the weight of unspoken emotions. Burying these feelings felt like the only option. It was better to keep them hidden, to preserve the relationships he cherished rather than risk losing them all.
After all, love was complicated enough in their world, full of curses and dangers; why complicate it further with feelings that might never see the light of day?
He glanced up at the sky, the first stars twinkling into view. As much as he wanted to be honest with you, the fear of rejection held him back. It was safer to keep his heart guarded, to let the affection remain a quiet ember in the depths of his soul rather than a blazing fire that might scorch everything he held dear.
As he walked, he couldnât help but think of you, the way your laughter lit up the dullest of days, the kindness in your voice that made everything seem possible. You were someone worth cherishing, someone who had woven your way into the fabric of his life without him even realizing it.
Suguru led you into his room, a cozy space filled with posters of various bands and an impressive collection of CDs lining the shelves. He smiled sheepishly, his fingers brushing against the cases as he gestured for you to take a closer look.
But for now, he would remain silent, allowing his heart to hold onto those feelings, tucking them away in a corner where they wouldnât threaten to disrupt the fragile balance of his relationships.
It was a bittersweet decision, one that left him feeling both relieved and sorrowful as he continued down the path, the shadows of the mountains rising around him like an embraceâdark, protective, and filled with the weight of unspoken love.
âUh, so this is my collection. You told me that you like this sort of music.â he said, a hint of pride lacing his words, though his cheeks flushed slightly as he glanced at you. âIâve been collecting for a while now.â
You stepped closer, examining the colorful album covers and their eclectic mix of genres. âWow, Suguru! This is impressive! I didnât know you were such a music aficionado.â you remarked, genuinely intrigued.
His bashfulness intensified at the compliment, and he scratched the back of his neck, a shy grin spreading across his face. âYeah, well, itâs just something I really enjoy. It helps me focus when Iâm training, you know?â
You nodded, picking up a CD with a vibrant cover. âI can see why! Your taste is really good! I mean, look at thisâQueen, Bowie? Theyâre amazing! How did you even discover them?â
Suguruâs cheeks turned a deeper shade of pink, and he shrugged, trying to downplay your praise. âOh, I just⌠stumbled upon them a while back. They have a unique sound that I like.â
You laughed softly, putting the CD back on the shelf and meeting his gaze. âYou donât give yourself enough credit. Seriously, these choices are fantastic. Youâve got a great ear for music!â
His bashful smile widened, and he felt a warm flutter in his chest. âThanks. I just like to find music that speaks to me.â he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. âI didnât think anyone would really notice.â
âOf course, I notice! Music has a way of bringing people together, and I think itâs awesome that you have such a passion for it.â you encouraged, leaning against the shelf and crossing your arms, your smile encouraging. âYou should share it more often!â
Suguru fidgeted slightly, glancing down at the CDs as if they held the answers to his swirling emotions. âMaybe... I just never thought it was a big deal, senpai.â he mumbled, his gaze drifting back to you, a flicker of hope sparking in his chest.
âWell, I think it is.â you said firmly, your eyes sparkling with sincerity. âIâd love to hear your favorites sometime. Maybe we could listen together? Bring Satoruâkun and Shokoâchan. Iâm sure Yuâkun and Kentoâkun. Iâm sure weâll have fun together, donât you think?â
His heart raced at the idea, and he nodded slowly, a smile breaking through his bashfulness. âYeah, that sounds great. Iâd like that, senpai.â he replied, his voice steadying as he felt a new sense of confidence in your presence. âOn your next day off, I suppose.â
You grinned, feeling a warmth spread between you. âItâs a deal, then! Just warn me if youâre about to play something super embarrassing.â
Suguru chuckled, the tension easing. âIâll do my best, but no promises. I have a few guilty pleasures.â
âIâll hold you to that, Suguru-kun.â you teased, your laughter filling the room and making Suguru feel a little more at ease, his heart buoyed by the connection growing between you.
HE THINKS HE FEELS WHOLE WHEN HEâS WITH SATORU. But even as Suguru grappled with his thoughts, a flicker of hope ignited within him. He often found himself wondering if he would feel even more complete when he, you, and Satoru were together. The notion that the three of you could create something beautiful filled him with a warmth he hadnât felt in a long time.
It was in the quiet moments he treasured the mostâthe laughter shared over late-night snacks, the easy camaraderie that unfolded when you all trained together, pushing one another to be better.
The way your eyes sparkled with mischief when you planned pranks on Satoru or the way Satoruâs laughter rang out like music, brightening the air around you both. Suguru couldnât shake the feeling that these moments, filled with laughter and love, would fill the empty spaces inside him, the ones he hadnât known were there until you came into his life.
He had seen the dynamic unfold before him. You and Satoru, with your effortless chemistry, often made him feel like an outsider looking in, yet there was a part of him that ached for that connection. The thought of you all laughing together, of sharing joy and camaraderie, tugged at his heartstrings. It was a simple dream, but one that seemed almost unattainable.
In his more vulnerable moments, heâd fantasized about the three of you taking on missions together. âCan you imagine?â heâd whispered to you one evening, the stars glittering overhead. âJust the three of us, fighting side by side. I think we could take on anything.â
You had chuckled softly, your eyes shining with warmth. âWeâd be unstoppable!â you replied, your tone light yet filled with genuine belief. âWeâd have fun too, and maybe even find a way to make it all bearable.â
Suguru nodded, savoring the idea. But there was still an ache in his heart, a worry that he might ruin it somehow, that he might overshadow the happiness you shared with Satoru.
The darkness that he often felt creeping at the edges of his mind made him question if he could truly be a part of that happiness. Would he be an anchor weighing you down, or could he learn to fly alongside you both?
As he watched you and Satoru interact, he often found himself captivated by the way you lit up around each other. The way you made each other laugh, the shared glances filled with unspoken understanding.Â
He could see the joy radiating from you both, and it stirred something deep within himâa longing for connection, for belonging. Suguru had never considered himself a jealous person, but witnessing the bond between you and Satoru often left him with a bittersweet taste in his mouth.
But there was also a growing realization: he didnât have to fit into the mold of either of you. He could bring his own light to the trio, his own flavor to the friendship. Each of you had your strengths and weaknesses, and together, you could create something beautifulâa tapestry woven from laughter, shared struggles, and undeniable bonds.
He let himself imagine those scenarios, the three of you exploring the city at night, catching dinner at your favorite spot, or the three of you sprawled out on the floor, playing video games until dawn. Geto Suguru envisioned the sound of your laughter ringing through the air, the feeling of camaraderie that would surround you like a warm embrace.
In those fleeting moments of hope, he realized that he could be happy. You had already shown him that he could find joy again, even amidst the shadows. If he could just allow himself to take the leap, to embrace the uncertainty, maybe he would find himself even fullerâmore vibrantâwhen you, Satoru, and he were together.
Suguru knew it wouldnât be easy. He had demons to battle, insecurities that needed confronting, but with you and Satoru by his side, perhaps he could learn to navigate those turbulent waters. And as he caught your gaze across the room one day, that hopeful warmth bloomed in his chest, pushing away the lingering doubts that had clouded his mind.
Maybe he thought. We really could have fun together. Maybe we could create something that would light up the darkest corners of our hearts.Â
And for the first time in a long time, the possibility of a brighter future seemed within reach, one filled with laughter, love, and unbreakable bonds.
Satoru and Suguru sat down in his bed for a long while after a night spent tangled in each other's arms. The moonlight filtered softly through the windows, casting a silver glow over their quiet breaths. Their bodies still thrummed with the lingering heat, but in the calm that followed, there was space for something deeper.Â
Satoru, leaning back with a gentle sigh, broke the silence. "I think... Iâve fallen in love with them." he confessed, his voice soft, almost vulnerable. He looked at Suguru. âGenâsenpai.â
Suguru turned his head slightly, his dark purple eyes finding Satoruâs, a hint of surprise flickering across his features. He didnât speak right away, but then, slowly, a quiet chuckle rumbled in his chest. He smiled against his shoulder. âYeah⌠I have too.â
The corner of Satoruâs lips quivered into a warm smile, eyes soft as he looked at Suguru. âIt doesnât make me love you any less, you know.â he said, sincerity coloring every word.
Suguruâs laughter bubbled up again, deeper this time, as he shook his head. âI know that.â he replied, eyes twinkling. âIt just means weâve both grown a bigger heart, doesnât it?â
Satoru nodded, reaching out to brush a lock of hair away from Suguruâs face. âI want to make them happy. I want to protect them from the world, the way I do you. I want us to be happy together.â
Suguru leaned into Satoruâs touch, his own smile softening. âI want the same thing.â His voice held the weight of a promise, one made in the stillness of the night, where only truth lingered between them.
AND YET, NOTHING EVER GOES TO HUMAN WISHES. The world had shattered when Amanai Riko died, a blow so devastating it left an unfillable void. The trauma of loss, grief, and anguish twisted within Geto Suguru like a storm he could no longer control.Â
He had always been strong, holding the weight of so many expectations, but that momentâthe senseless death of someone they were meant to protectâwas the catalyst that began his unraveling.
You had been furious. Suguru had seen it, felt it in the way your energy crackled with righteous anger on their behalf. You had stormed into arguments with Yaga and Gakuganji, your voice sharp with frustration.Â
You called them out, unrelenting, accusing them of failing Suguru and Satoru, of putting too much on their shoulders. You offered to take on their missions, as if sacrificing yourself would shield them from the horrors of this world. Suguru had appreciated your fierce loyalty, but he also saw through the mask you wore.
He saw the weariness in your eyes, the deep, bone-deep fatigue that mirrored his own. You were just as tired, just as broken by this life as he was, and yet you clung to hopeâfor them, if not for yourself. But hope wasn't enough to keep the darkness at bay.
Over time, the distance between them grew like a slow tear in fabricâonce so tightly knit, now fraying at the edges. Suguru and Satoru, the strongest, the unbreakable pair, were drifting apart. The burdens neither of them could fully share weighed heavier with each passing day.Â
Satoru, with all his strength, was consumed by his own responsibilities, the guilt over Rikoâs death haunting him like a shadow. He was there, but only in the physical sense, his heart and mind distant, somewhere beyond reach.
And youâyou were caught in the middle, silently holding together Suguruâs burdens on top of your own. You were trying to hold everything together, the glue between the cracks that had begun to form. You had always been the one to fight for them, to step into the line of fire if it meant protecting them from pain. But this pain was different. It was insidious, creeping into every corner of your life, until it weighed so heavy you could hardly breathe.
"Are you okay?" Suguru had asked you one evening, his voice soft but lined with concern. His eyes searched yours, as if trying to find the answer you wouldnât say.
You had smiled, that same practiced, hollow smile that had become second nature. "Iâm fine, Suguruâkun." you replied, your voice steady but empty.
Suguru frowned, his brow furrowing as he leaned forward, his hand reaching for yours. "You donât have to be fine all the time. Not with me."
"I am fine." you repeated, pulling your hand away gently, your heart heavy with the lie. You wanted to believe it, for his sake and your own. But you werenât fine. Not at all.
You were just as broken as he was. Maybe more.
Then Haibara died.
It wasnât just another lossâit was the breaking point. Haibara was one of the brightest lights in their dark world, a beacon of hope, of goodness. His death wasnât just tragicâit was devastating, senseless, another reminder of how cruel and indifferent the world was.
That night, Suguru came to you, his face pale, eyes hollow with grief. He didnât say anything for a long time. He just stood in your doorway, the weight of everything that had happened hanging in the air like a fog. You could feel the walls closing in around both of you, the suffocating pressure of everything you had tried so hard to ignore.
"I canât do this anymore, Genâsenpai." Suguru finally said, his voice raw, barely above a whisper. He stepped into the room, his movements slow, deliberate, like he was carrying the world on his shoulders. "I canât watch this happen over and over again."
You swallowed the lump in your throat making it hard to speak. "SuguruâŚ"
"No, no." he cut you off, shaking his head as he sat down beside you. "Iâm done pretending. Iâm done lying to myself that weâre doing something good here. That this means anything."
You looked at him, your heart aching at the defeat in his voice. "It does mean something," you said, though even as the words left your mouth, they felt empty. How many times had you told yourself that same thing, hoping it would be enough to keep you going?
Suguruâs gaze met yours, and in his eyes, you saw itâthe breaking. The man you once knew, the one who had carried the weight of others without hesitation, was falling apart. He let out a bitter laugh, one that sent a shiver down your spine.Â
"Does it? Because it sure as hell doesnât feel like it anymore. Iâve watched too many people die. Too many good people. And for what? So the next mission can take the next person? So we can lose more friends, more lives, and call it ânecessaryâ?"
You opened your mouth to respond, but no words came. Because deep down, you agreed. Haibaraâs death had been a tipping point for you, too. You were so tiredâso tired. Of fighting, of losing, of trying to keep it all together. And Satoru⌠He had been slipping further and further away, lost in his own world of guilt and self-reproach, leaving you to carry the pieces of what was left.
"I wanted to save people." Suguru continued, his voice cracking as his hands balled into fists. "But I couldnât save her. I couldnât save Haibara. I canât save anyone. Not anymore."
He looked up at you, his eyes filled with something dark, something final. "Itâs broken, and I donât know how to fix it anymore."
You shook your head, tears welling up in your eyes. "You donât have to fix it, Suguruâkun. Weâll get through this. We always do."
He gave you a sad smile, one that didnât reach his eyes. "I donât think I can do that anymore."
And then, in the stillness of the night, something in Suguru snapped. You could see itâthe cold, detached resolve settling over him like a heavy cloak. The next thing you knew, he had left, and when he came back, it was with blood on his hands.
He had murdered that village. And the man you knew, the man who had once fought so hard to protect, was gone.
The weight of the sorrow, the anger, the pain. All of it became too much to bear. He saw the world for what it was: a place full of suffering that would never stop unless someone made it stop.Â
And so, in the dead of night, he walked into that village, his heart cold, his mind set on a singular purpose. He slaughtered them allâmen, women, children as if purging the world of that one village might somehow ease the weight in his chest.
It didnât.
But it was the moment Geto Suguru stopped trying to be the person he once was. And it was the night he fully embraced the path that would lead him to become something elseâsomeone who no longer fought for the world, but against it.
The first person he came to see after it all happened was you.
Suguru stood in your doorway, still dressed in his bloodstained uniform, his face unreadable beneath the coldness that had settled in his eyes. The moonlight cast pale shadows across his face, but you werenât stunned by his presence.Â
You had already knownâfelt it the moment it happened. What he had done. It was like that night with Kaiko all over again, when she had shown up before you, her hands dripping with blood, her eyes empty of remorse.
You stared at him, your expression calm, though your heart weighed heavy in your chest. "Why are you here, Suguru?" you asked, your voice soft, almost tired. You had been waiting for this.
He didnât answer right away. His eyes flickered across your face, searching for somethingâunderstanding, maybe. Forgiveness, perhaps. He stepped into your space, his presence filling the room, but the warmth that once came with him was gone.
"Iâm building something new." he said quietly. "A world where we donât have to suffer anymore. Where weâre free from this endless cycle of death and pain." His voice was steady, but there was something hollow in it, something broken that couldnât be fixed. "I came to ask if youâd come with me."
You blinked, his words hanging in the air between you like a heavy fog. "Why me?" you asked, your eyes meeting him, searching for something in the depths of his darkness. "Why not ask Satoru?"
Suguru flinched, just barely, but enough for you to notice. His jaw clenched, and he didnât answer. He looked away, as if the mention of Satoruâs name was too much, too painful. It said everything you needed to know without him having to say a word.
You sighed softly, sadness curling in your chest like a quiet ache. You smiled at him then, a soft, bittersweet smile, filled with the weight of everything left unsaid. You deeply adored him, cared for him, just as you do with Satoru, but this wasnât the path you could walk. Not this.
"Iâm sorry, Suguru." you whispered, your voice trembling at the edges.
His eyes met yours again, and for a momentâjust a fleeting secondâyou saw the man you once knew. The man who cared, who wanted to save people, who carried the world with you. But it was gone just as quickly as it came, swallowed by the void he had fallen into.
He nodded, his expression hardening once more. He didnât say anything as he turned to leave, but the silence between you was louder than words. You watched him go, knowing that the Suguru you once knew had already walked away long before he came to you tonight.
And all you could do was whisper to the emptiness left in his wake, "Iâm sorry."
epilogue
YOU NEVER EXPECTED IT. It was 2014, the first time you had seen him in years. You were in Hida, nestled in the tranquility of the forest, resting after Satoshiâs birth. The crisp mountain air surrounded you, the soft rustle of leaves above matching the rhythm of your quiet hum as you cradled your son in your arms.
Leaning against the broad trunk of a tree, you let the peacefulness of the moment wrap around you, the soft melody filling the air as Satoshi dozed in your embrace.
You sensed him before you saw himâSuguru. His presence had always been familiar, a deep current of energy that used to pull you in, but now it was different, muted somehow. When you finally looked up, there he was, standing just a few feet away, watching you with the ghost of a smile on his lips.
âIs that the same song you used to hum to me when you brushed my hair?â he asked, his voice low, carrying the weight of memories with it.
Your fingers stilled for a moment in Satoshiâs soft hair, and you turned your gaze back to your son, trying to keep the ache in your chest at bay. "What are you doing here, Suguru?" you asked quietly, your eyes focused on the peaceful rise and fall of Satoshiâs breathing, trying to steady your own.
He stepped closer, moving with that same graceful ease you remembered. "I wanted to visit you," he said, the smile widening just a fraction. It wasnât the smile you rememberedâthe warmth had long since faded from it, replaced with something distant, something unreadable.
You didnât look up as he sat down beside you, close but not touching, the space between you now more than just physical distance. You hummed softly in response, acknowledging his presence but keeping your focus on Satoshi. "Youâve gotten better at hiding your cursed scent." you remarked, your tone light, though the words carried a quiet truth.
Suguru hummed back, leaning against the tree beside you, his gaze fixed on the horizon. "Thank you for the compliment."
For a moment, there was silence between you, the only sounds were the soft rustling of leaves and the faint cooing of Satoshi. The years that had passed felt like lifetimes, like different worlds had formed between you. And yet, in that quiet moment, it felt almost like before. Almost.
But not quite.
"Things change." Suguru said after a while, his voice soft, almost contemplative. You didnât respond, just continued humming the tune you once sang to him all those years ago, when the world was different, when you were different. He listened quietly, the weight of his presence beside you both a comfort and a reminder of the distance that could never fully be bridged.
You didnât need to ask why he was really there. You already knew. He wasnât just visiting. He was mourning you, mourning Satoru. Mourning this life. Right in front of you.
You glanced at him, the man you hadnât seen in so long, the ghost of someone you once knew. âHow have you been, Suguru?â you asked softly, not sure if you wanted to hear the answer, or if it even mattered after all this time.
He smiled, a shadow of the one you remembered from years ago. âIâve been well,â he said, though the weight in his voice suggested otherwise. He was never one to reveal his heart so easily, especially now, when the chasm between you both felt endless.
You nodded, accepting the answer for what it was. Then, after a moment, you asked, âDo you know Satoruâs coming to visit me?â
Suguru didnât hesitate, his smile turning a touch wry. âI know, I know.â he said, his tone laced with familiarity. âI can smell Satoru from miles away.â
You hummed in response, a quiet acknowledgment of the strange and complicated bond they still shared. The tension between them had always been palpable, the kind that came from loving someone too deeply, from sharing too much history and heartache.
At that moment, Satoshi stirred in your arms, his tiny fists unclenching as his eyes slowly fluttered open. He blinked up at Suguru, his deep blue eyesâthe same piercing shade as Satoruâsâcurious and bright.
Suguru looked at him for a long moment, and a faint smile tugged at his lips. âHe reminds me of Satoru.â he murmured, his voice softened, the edge gone. There was a warmth in his gaze that was almost foreign to you now.
You smiled softly, nodding. âHe should. I married Satoru, and Satoshi is our son.â
For a brief moment, Suguruâs eyes clouded with something you couldnât quite nameâan echo of something long gone, something distant and unreachable. You wondered if it was regret. Regret for the life he could have had, for the choices he made that led him away from this quiet happiness.
You couldnât help but think of what could have beenâhow different things would be if he had stayed. If you had been together, building a life, raising Satoshi together. It would have been a beautiful life, you thought, with him in it.
Suguru reached out, his fingers gentle as they traced the soft curve of Satoshiâs cheek. His touch was delicate, almost reverent. He whispered a blessing under his breath, a prayer for a long, happy life, his voice barely audible but filled with a tenderness that tugged at your heart.
You watched him, your chest tightening with the weight of everything left unsaid. âSuguruâŚâ you whispered, your voice trembling, almost heartbroken. The reality of the moment pressed in on you, the finality of it.
He looked at you then, his eyes soft but distant, as if he had already begun to slip away. âI have to go now.â he said quietly, standing up, his movements slow, deliberate. âSatoru grows near.â
You couldnât stop him, though a part of you wanted to reach out, to pull him back into your life, to ask him to stay, to find some way to heal what had been broken. But you knew it was too late for that.
But that life was not yours to live. Not anymore.
As Suguru stood up to leave, the words spilled from your lips before you could stop them. "If Kaiko was the light of my life, and Satoru the love of my lifeâŚ." you said, your voice barely a whisper, trembling with emotion. "Then you, Suguru⌠you are the loss of my life."
For a moment, he paused, his back still turned to you. The silence stretched between you, heavy with the weight of everything that had been broken, of everything that could never be repaired. Slowly, Suguru turned to face you, and when he did, there was that smile againâso soft, so sad, it made your heart ache.
"I know." he whispered, his voice gentle but lined with sorrow. His dark eyes met yours, filled with the kind of understanding that only comes with time, with regret. "You and Satoru were mine."
The truth of it hung between you, raw and painful. Your heart clenched, and the tears you had been holding back finally broke free. You bit your lip, trying to stifle the sobs, but the grief you had carried for so long, the grief of losing him, of losing what you all could have been, spilled out like a wound reopening.
Satoshi stirred in your arms, his little face scrunching in concern. Noticing your tears, he reached up with his tiny baby hands, clumsily trying to wipe them away. His touch was soft, innocent, and it only made your heart ache more. You held him close, your tears falling onto his soft hair, as you tried to compose yourself.
Suguru watched for a moment, his expression unreadable, as if he were memorizing this final image of you and Satoshi, this life he had chosen to walk away from. And then, without another word, he turned and left.
You watched him go, your vision blurred by tears, your heart breaking with each step he took away from you. This was the endâthe last goodbye. The loss you had always feared would come, finally settling into your bones, leaving behind a hollow, aching space that would never be filled.
Satoshi cooed softly, still reaching for your face, his small hands warm against your skin. You held him close, feeling the bittersweet weight of your love for him, for Satoru, for Suguruâall of it tangled together in a web of memories and emotions that would never fully fade.
Suguru was gone, and with him, the last piece of a life you once dreamed of.
Gojo Satoru arrived not long after, his familiar presence filling the quiet space of the forest as he approached. You looked up from where you sat, still holding Satoshi close. The moment his eyes met yours, you saw the flicker of concern cross his face. He noticed, of course. He always did.
"Hey." he said softly, crouching down beside you, his voice gentle as the breeze. His gaze lingered on your face, taking in the remnants of the tears you had wiped away.
You smiled at him, the kind of smile that didnât quite reach your eyes, but one you hoped would be enough. âI cried because Satoshiâs just so adorable, Satoru.â you said, your voice light, almost playful, as you nuzzled your sonâs soft hair. âOur sonâs beautiful, donât you think?â
Satoru looked at you, and even though you knew he didnât believe you, he didnât press. His blue eyes searched yours for a moment longer before his lips quivered into a knowing, sad smile. âIs that so?â he murmured, tilting his head as if playing along.Â
He leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead, his warmth grounding you in a way only he could. Then, with the same tenderness, he kissed Satoshiâs little head, making your son giggle softly in your arms.
But you knew he could sense itâSuguruâs lingering presence in the air, in the space you all once shared. Satoruâs bond with Suguru was something words could never fully capture, and even if they hadnât spoken in years, he could feel that he had been here. You could see it in the way his shoulders tensed ever so slightly, the way his smile faltered for a split second before he steadied himself.
And you knew, in that quiet, unspoken way between the two of you, that Satoru was mourning too. Not just for Suguruâs absence in his life, but for the life that could have beenâwhat you all could have had if things had been different.
But like always, Satoru didnât say anything about it. He just stayed there, next to you, his presence a comfort as Satoshi began to babble happily, oblivious to the undercurrent of sadness hanging in the air. You leaned into Satoru, feeling the warmth of his body against yours, as the quiet settled between you.
Together, you mourned for Suguru in the silence. You didnât need to say it. He didnât need to ask. You both understood the ache that would always remain for the one who had been lost to you both.

hope i never lose you
pairing: gojo satoru x geto suguru x reader
cw: post the events of hidden inventory but pre kfc breakup, implications of depression, mentions of death/almost dying, mention but not graphic description of blood, thoughts of killing/genocide by suguru, arguments, crying/breakdowns, theyâre all whipped, hurt/comfort, smut, oral sex (male receiving), 4.5k words (this was NOT supposed to be this long but woohoo??)
part of my au- This Side of Paradise
for more from this au check out my masterlist
It was 3AM when you finally dragged your exhausted body to your dorm room.
Ever since Amanaiâs death (or as the higher ups called it âthe incident with the Star Plasma Vessel), you and your boyfriends, Satoru and Suguru, were being worked to the bone, a new mission popping up seemingly every few hours.
All three of you had been promoted to special grades and the pressure was unreal. Missions that should have been handled by adults with more experience were being handed off to you in view of your âsuperior abilitiesâ.
You didnât remember the last time the three of you had even seen each other for longer than 30 minutes. You missed them. Terribly.
Most of the measly time you were together was spent doing mandated training to hone Satoruâs Limitless. To help him step into his role as âThe Strongestâ.
You were tired. So tired.
Not to mention the nightmares plaguing your mind every night. Satoruâs head dismembered from his body, him never having the epiphany that led him to acquire reverse cursed technique. Suguruâs chest cleaved open, him never making it to Shoko. And you, bleeding out from the slash in your stomach before ever making it to any of them.
Youâd been waking up in tears streaming down your face for days, the image of the lifeless bodies of your boyfriends seared into your mind like a brand.
Kicking off your shoes, your eyes roved over the room, a habit youâd developed after the man who killed Amanai broke into the Jujutsu High barrier.
Wow, youâd really let it get messy.
Your hands stopped halfway through unbuttoning your uniform jacket as you realised you werenât in your room. Muscle memory had apparently led you right into Suguruâs dorm room.
His door wasnât locked? Strange.
He wasnât in bed? Even stranger. Normally Suguru was very particular about his beauty sleep.
Why was his room a mess?
Panic clutched at your heart, fear digging in its sharp claws, your pulse pounding loudly in your ears. Your legs hurriedly moved of their own accord as you threw back his sheets in the hope that he was there. Not gone. He was still here, right? He had to be.
No.
No?
nononononononononononononono.
âY/N? Whatâre you doing here?â
Suguruâs voice dragged you out of your panicked rush of thoughts.
âOh my god, youâre alive,â you choked out, reaching for him to pull him against you, a physical reassurance to yourself that he was still there. That your nightmares werenât true.
âI-â his arms looped around your waist hesitantly, âOf course I am. Are you alright?â
âMhmm,â you mumbled, nodding against where your face was buried into his bare shoulder.
WaitâŚ
âWhy are you naked?â you inquired, eyeing the towel covering his lower body. Why did he look so weak?
Your hands moved to gently cup his face, âSweetheart, have you been eating? You donât look okay.â
Suguru flinched at your touch, looking like a deer trapped in headlights and for the first time in the year and a half you had been dating him, you saw Geto Suguru at a loss for words.
He squirmed in place letting your concerned eyes trail over his greasy barely-taken-care-of hair, his red, puffy eyes and his dark circles.
âSuguâŚâ
Before you could voice any further concern, the door to the room was flying open to reveal an incredibly disheveled Satoru, his cheek dripping with blood.
There was a tense moment where the three of you stared at each other until Satoru came barrelling towards the two of you, engulfing you into his lanky arms.
A light âoomphâ escaped Suguruâs mouth as his knees buckled and he face planted right into Satoruâs chest.
âYouâve got blood on you,â you mumbled into Satoruâs uniform. He hummed in acknowledgment, dipping his head to press a gentle kiss to your head, another one to Suguruâs bare shoulder.
ââS not mine,â he said simply, offering no further explanation. His hand slipped under your uniform shirt to rub at the small of your back, the other one lazily moving to scratch Suguruâs scalp. âWhyâre you naked Sugu?â
Suguru lazily raised his eyes to meet your blue eyed boyfriendâs gaze from where heâd basically melted into his side, âJusâ took a shower.â
âYeah? Then whyâs your hair all greasy and stinky?â
âNo reason,â the raven snapped, his posture stiffening as he moved to pull away from the hug. His tone was sharp. Nothing like youâd ever heard him use with you or Satoru before.
Satoru took off his glasses and tossed them onto the bed before narrowing his eyes at his boyfriend, âCâmon your hair is the love of your life, babe. You never let it get this dirty.â
âI just told you itâs nothing! God!â
Suguru angrily stomped his way to his closet, pulling on a white t-shirt and a pair of boxers, tossing his towel to a random corner of the room.
âYou never do that either,â you said gently, your voice soft, trying to maintain a level tone.
âCan you two stop? Iâm fine! Maybe Iâm just tired this late at night!â His hands tore through his hair in frustration, the grease making his hair stick back onto his scalp.
Satoru moved across the room, grabbed Suguruâs jaw and forced his boyfriend to meet his glowing blue eyes.
âSomethingâs wrong.â
A defeated sigh.
âI told you nothin-â
âTell me what's wrong.â
âSatoru noth-â
âBULLSHIT!â Satoru roared, making Suguru violently flinch in his hold.
Silence. Deafening silence.
Fearing this was the calm before a much bigger storm, you decided to step in, slipping between them to loosen your white haired boyfriendâs iron grip on his counterpartâs jaw.
âYouâre hurting him âToru,â you whispered, keeping your voice low, scared that anything louder might spark further conflict.
Blankly, he nodded, withdrawing his hands from Suguruâs face, gently placing them around your hips instead. You shot him a small smile, reaching up to affectionately scratch his undercut, drawing a pleased sound from him before you turned back to your long haired lover.
You cupped his face, running your knuckles over where red marks the shape of Satoruâs fingers had started forming.
âTalk to us, Sugu. Weâre worried about you, baby,â you beseeched. âPlease.â
That seemed to break him, his expression crumpling as he let out a shaky breath.
âI just-â is all he could let out in a choked whisper before he broke down in front of you.
His head dipped down, his chin pressing into his chest, his shoulders shaking from his heaving sobs, his body curling into itself as if he wanted to hide away.
âSuguru,â Satoru mumbled from behind you, concern laced through his voice, his hands reaching to cup his boyfriendâs face, taking care to be gentle after his earlier outburst, his large hands supporting the ravenâs face from below, fingers gently swiping at his tears.
Blue eyes flicked down to meet your own worried ones, a silent communication passing between you both as you slipped out from between the two boys and pressed your torso against Suguruâs back, your arms wrapping around his waist in silent comfort.
Meanwhile Satoru had gathered his dark haired lover into his arms, supporting the brunt of his body weight, letting him cry onto his rumpled uniform jacket.
Sandwiched between both of your bodies, Suguru shook violently with sobs, a part of you worried if he could breathe, a sentiment clearly echoed by Satoru. You watched as he tangled one of his hands in your boyfriendâs hair, his fingers moving to lightly scratch at his scalp.
âYou need to breathe baby,â he gently reminded Suguru. âCâmon, deep breaths with me, yeah?â
You pulled away from your koala grasp on your boyfriend, instead rubbing his back comfortingly as he gulped down shaky bouts of air through his mouth and nose, tears still streaming down his face.
Frowning, you reached up to wipe his tears off his face, your hand coming away wet as if you had just washed it. Your lower lip wobbled, heart twisting seeing one of the loves of your life in so much distress.
Ever so observant with his keen eyes, Satoru had already loosened one of his arms from around Suguruâs waist and tugged you into the hug.
âDonât you start,â he mumbled, trying to force his usual playfulness in the jest. He was just as tired as you and Suguru were, taking on mission upon mission, sometimes even forcing the higher ups to give him missions that shouldâve been given to either of his partners, not that you knew this. But you knew he was tired and joking, so you said nothing.
The three of you stood there for a while, wrapped up in each other, your hearts thumping wildly, as Suguruâs sobs died down into soft sniffles, his hand reaching up to wipe a stray tear from your face before his arms looped around you and Satoru.
ââM sorry,â he whispered, voice hoarse and scratchy, presumably from all the crying.
âYou have nothing to be sorry for,â you replied instantly. âWeâve all been stressed, you donât have to apologise fo-â
âWhat's the point?â he interrupted, his tone defeated, âWhat's the point of us working our asses to the ground to exorcise curses when those- those monkeys are gonna make new ones anyway?â
âSugu-â
âIâm tired of fighting for people who just create their own problems. Maybe non sorcerers just shouldnât exist.â
Satoru gaped at him, eyes wide, his mouth opening and closing like a fish, trying to figure out what to say.
âYou donât mean that,â he finally said lamely.
âDonât I? Just put yourself in my position, Satoru. Do you know how horrible ingesting curses is? And I do all that, every. Single. Fucking. Day. Only to find some psycho with no cursed energy almost kill me and my partners!â
You pulled away to look him in the eyes, âAnd that's a good reason to kill all non sorcerers? Youâve always believed in not killing without any meaning. Whereâs the meaning in getting rid of a population of innocent people?â
âI wouldnât call them innocent.â
âWhat about your parents? They not innocent either?â Satoru jumped in, his tone accusatory.
Suguru hesitated, his eyes flicking between the two of you and the ground, âI⌠donât know.â
âYou hesitated. Thatâs your answer.â
âItâs really not.â
âYou canât just kill millions of people just because theyâre not like us.â
ââŚâ
âSuguru.â
Satoru looked at you, his eyes swimming with uncertainty and fear at the sudden cult propaganda like stuff your shared boyfriend had started spewing.
You sighed, âYou know Suguru, youâre not the only one who saw your partners almost die.â
âWhat?â
âYou said earlier, you saw me and âToru get killed by a non sorcerer. Youâre not the only one who did.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âI saw both of you. Almost die I mean. Almost died myself too.â
âY/n-â
âIâve been having nightmares, you know? Every night. You both-'' you paused, your breath hitching in your throat, tears prickling your eyes. Satoru wrapped his arm around your shoulder, squeezing you close to him as if saying, âitâs okay, weâre hereâ.
You took a shuddering breath before continuing, âYou both die. Bleed out. And I do too. Before I ever reach you. Before I get to see you for the last time. And I know it's not the time to bring this up but I-â
The rest of your sentence was cut off by the lump in your throat swelling, your eyes welling up with tears.
Suguruâs hands were on your face immediately, wiping off tears before they even fell. Satoru pulled you tighter against him, pressing a kiss to your head.
âHey,â Suguru whispered against the shell of your ear, his breath skirting across the side of your face, âWeâre here, okay? Weâre here and weâre alright baby. We gotchu, yeah?â
You nodded, burrowing your face into Satoruâs chest, letting the warmth from both of your boyfriends caging you between them wash over you. They were your anchors, pulling you back to reality when the storm of life got too difficult to bear. They were your home.
âYouâre both my home too,â Satoru mumbled sheepishly, almost too quiet for you to hear.
âDid I-â
âYou said it out loud.â
âOh.â
âYouâre my home too,â Suguru sighed out letting his head fall onto Satoruâs, his eyebags looking more prominent when he closed his eyes to take a deep breath.
Satoru shifted slightly, âLetâs get into bed hmm? You both look like you need some serious sleep. And honestly? Same.â
The weight of the exhaustion of the past few days suddenly hit you like a truck, your limbs going weak and heavy between the strongest duo.
You glared at Satoru through bleary eyes, âAre you a witch?â
âEh??? Where is this coming from??â
âYou said we probably need some serious sleep and now Iâm tired. Youâre a witch and you-â yawn âYou cursed me to feel sleepy.â
âBaby itâs like half past three. Youâre sleepy because youâve been awake for like 24 hours.â
ââŚI still think youâre a witch.â
Satoruâs mouth opened to form a what would be a smart retort but he was interrupted by Suguru smoothly slapping a hand over his mouth, pushing you slightly towards the twin bed, âAlright before you start trying to burn the guy who funds all our food runs at the stake, letâs get into bed yeah?â
âIs that all I am to you?! A wallet?!â
âNo youâre our sugar daddy. Itâs the only reason we tolerate you. Ainât that right babe?â
You looked at him, eyes sparkling with playful mirth, the humour returning to the ravenâs voice filling you with an unspeakable amount of relief.
âYep.â
âYouâre both so mean to me!â
âHush now, pretty boy.â
The three of you squeezed into the small bed meant for one person, as always: Suguruâs chest pressed into your back, your head resting against Satoruâs shoulder, three pairs of legs tangling with each other until you couldnât tell where one of you ended and the other began.
âWeâre still in uniform,â you sighed out, dreading the prospect of leaving the tangle of warmth to change.
Satoru yawned. âMmh itâs fine. Ya donât mind, do you Sugu?â
âYou have blood on you, dumbass.â
A dramatic whine. âUgh fine.â A smirk. âStay here and strip lovely, Iâll get that t-shirt you like from emo boyâs closet.â
âPerv.â You tossed a pillow at him but got down to removing your uniform anyway.
Fiddling with the last few buttons, you peeled off your partially open uniform jacket, putting it next to you. You would take it, along with the rest of your uniform, to the laundry basket in your room later.
Next to you, Suguru heaved a big sigh, fidgeting with the end of his shirt. âIâm not gonna do it,â he said quietly. âGenocide, I mean,â he continued a bit louder. âI just-â he groaned, his hand running dragging down his face, âYou guys just got me thinking. Iâm not the only one who suffered that day. And killing off millions of people isnât- Well it isnât practical- Or moral. And youâre right yâknow. Iâve never gotten behind killing without meaning.â
He went quiet again, his fingers continuing to nervously tug and twist at the hem of his shirt.
A tense silence filled the room.
Satoru stood in front of the closet, holding a wad of clothing, staring at his boyfriend.
Before you know it, the white haired boy is launching himself at Suguru, burying his face into the ravenâs neck, ââM sorry. âM sorry I never noticed that you were struggling. And Iâm sorry I got mad and hurt you earlier.â
Suguru sighed, melting into his loverâs body, ââS ok. I forgive you. You were just worried.â
âI love you.â
âI love you too.â
You watched the two boys soak in each otherâs affection with fond eyes. They got on your nerves almost constantly but damn did you love them.
âBabe?â called Satoru.
You were met with the pouty faces of both your boys staring at you.
Suguru tilted his head from where Satoru had it cradled in his arms. God, he looked like a kicked puppy. âDo you not love us?â
You almost cooed because what the hell? Why was he so damn adorable?
âOf course I love you silly.â
âThen why didnât you say it when the both of us did?â Satoru inquired, matching pouts with your shared boyfriend.
âWell-â you sputtered, âYou guys were having a moment! I didnât wanna ruin it!â
You got no response. The two of them only stared at you, thoroughly unimpressed.
You laughed, âOkay, okay. I love you both.â
âGood,â they mumble in unison.
âUgh youâre both so adorably stupid,â you muttered, jumping into the hug peppering aggressive kisses all over both their faces, each punctuated with a âI love youâ.
By the 20th kiss, they were blushing, Suguru pushing you and Satoru off. âChange you two,â he admonished, âStop getting curse gunk and blood on me.â
You laughed, pressing a final kiss to his forehead and heading off to the washroom to wash off your face, utterly unaware of two sets of enraptured eyes trained on your figure.
By the time you came out, Satoru had changed into one of Suguruâs large t-shirts and a pair of boxers. With his toned thighs on display and the smear of blood still on his cheek, he had never looked hotter to you.
âYâre starinâ love,â he smirked.
âYouâre starinâ love,â you mocked, pitching your voice lower in a horrendous attempt to sound like him. âNot my fucking fault youâre hot.â
He giggled. Yes. Giggled. Like a middle school girl. âAw thanks babe,â he said as he batted his eyes at you, âAnyways, clothes are on the bed, next to our hot boyfriend. Iâm gonna go get the blood off my face.â And with that and a little hairflip, he flounced off into the bathroom, shutting that door behind him.
âHeâs such a menace,â you mumbled, moving towards the bed.
Chuckling Suguru shifted to sit up in bed, grabbing at your waist and tugging you closer to him. âYeah, but we love him regardless.â
You hummed in agreement, letting your boyfriendâs hands wander across your lower back and ass, âI guess we do, donât we?â
He tilted his head up to meet your eyes, his chin resting right below your sternum. âWanâ help getting this off?â he inquired, tugging on the end of your shirt, his pupils blown wide.
âYou know I never say no,â you mumbled.
A satisfied sound left his lips, his practiced hands moving to unbutton your shirt and tug down your pants in record breaking time.
âSo pretty,â he whispered, pressing a kiss above your belly button.
A tingle of electricity shot through your spine at the contact, a pool of warmth settling low in your stomach as you wound your fingers into his long hair.
You frowned at the feeling of the grease he had let build up in his hair on your fingertips. âIâm gonna wash your hair tomorrow.â
âIâd really like that,â he whispered, hooking his arms behind your thighs and pulling you down into his lap, immediately pressing his lips to yours in a loving kiss.
You looped your arms around his neck, readjusting your hands to keep gently scratching his scalp.
Suguru wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you impossibly closer to him, his hair tickling your cheeks.
âSugu,â you gasped, pulling away for air, âI have to change.â
âLet me love on you baby," he replied, a little breathless, his hands running down your back. "Please?"
"Are you two canoodling without me?"
Your head shot towards the bathroom door, suddenly very aware of the fact that you were sitting on your boyfriend's lap, half naked, while your other boyfriend was staring at the both of you, failing to hide the very obvious bulge in his-or well- Suguru's boxers.
Suguru scowled at him, "We'll continue without you if you say 'canoodling' one more time."
"What's wrong with canoodling?"
"You're ruining the mood man!"
"I hate admitting you're right but I'd be lying if I said that the implication of you two 'canoodling' didn't make me just a little bit soft."
"Just come here and kiss me, idiot."
Satoru grinned at the command, crossing the room in two big steps to lace his fingers in Suguru's hair and smashing his lips onto his boyfriend's.
You laid your head on Suguruâs shoulder, soaking in his warmth, while you watched your boys devour each otherâs mouths above you.
They broke apart, panting and faces flushed, looking at each other slightly dazed.
âFuck,â Satoru rasped, âI forgot how good that felt.â
Suguru ran his fingers along his lips, still looking a bit out of it, âYeah me too.â
âNow then,â grinned your white haired lover, his signature cheshire smirk on his lips, making grabby hands at you. âCâmere you.â
He dropped to his knees on front of the bed, his height allowing him to be face to face with you in Suguruâs lap. Grabbing your legs, he shifted you so you sat with your back to the ravenâs chest, his hard on pressing against your ass.
Almost immediately, strong arms were wrapping around your waist from behind as Satoru slotted himself between yours and Suguruâs legs, hovering his lips above yours, just a hairâs breadth from touching yours.
âKiss me baby,â he breathed, his breath fanning across your face.
You complied, throwing your arms around his neck, tugging him towards you as you ran your tongue along the seam of his lips.
He responded with just as much enthusiasm, his mouth hot against yours as his tongue slipped into your mouth.
You let your hands wander, scratching his undercut the way you knew made him go wild, enjoying the way he let out a breathy moan against your lips.
Satoruâs hands joined Suguru on your waist, settling right below the edge of your bra, his fingers running along the edge of the fabric resting against your ribcage as he broke away from you to press searing open mouthed kisses along your jawline.
He shifted his attention from you to the beautiful man whose lap you were sitting in.
âHey Suguru?â he called out.
âHmm?â
âCan I suck your dick?â
Suguru gaped at him, mouth falling open, eyes wide. Satoru never asked for permission.
âWhat? I can be considerate, y'know!â
âI know⌠You just neverâŚâ
You ran your fingers along Suguruâs wrist, soothing his frazzled nerves, âLet us spoil you, Sugu? Youâve been stressing enough.â
And that was how you ended up holding Suguruâs upper body to your own, his back muscles flexing against your front, his shirt haphazardly thrown to some corner of the room as he quivered and moaned under his boyfriendâs ministrations.
âSatoru-â the raven choked out, his head falling onto your shoulder, âSo good- please-â
Satoru hummed around Suguruâs cock, bobbing his head, his cheeks hollowing, before pulling away with a lewd âpopâ.
âPlease what, hmm baby?â he questioned, his voice low and raspy, âPlease stop?â
A frustrated sound ripped itself from Suguruâs throat, his hand clutching onto Satoruâs shirt before tugging him closer to his mouth.
âI meant to keep going and you know it. Brat.â
Satoru grinned, his signature cheshire smirk taking over his face as his eyes flickered from his black haired loverâs eyes to his mouth. He leaned in closer, brushing his lips along Suguruâs jawline.
âWhatever you want, princess.â
He slid down, settling back between his boyfriendâs legs. He wrapped his hand around the base of Suguruâs dick, pumping it once, twice and another time, before wrapping his lips around the tip and pushing his head down the entire length in one go.
A loud moan tore its way from Suguruâs mouth as his hands reached to bury themselves in Satoruâs hair, tugging on the glowing moonlight strands like they were his lifeline.
You gently ran your fingers along Suguruâs bare torso, tracing the muscles that you had long since committed to memory, pressing kisses to the back of his shoulders and neck.
âYâlook so pretty like this Sugu,â you whispered into the shell of his ear, relishing the way he shivered at the way your breath danced across his cheek.
A gasp left Suguruâs lips just as a slurping sound came from where Satoru was continuing to suck him off, his own hips rutting into the mattress, drool dribbling down his chin.
Suguruâs back arched off where it was pressed against your torso, his mouth dropping open the way it did when he was about to cum, âFuck Satoru- âM so close.â
His abs clenched under your touch as he chanted your white haired loverâs name like a mantra.
ââToru- Iâm gonna- gonna cum. I- inside or are you-?â
Satoru made an insistent sound around his cock, burying his nose into the dark hair at the base.
You chuckled, âI think that means he wants you to cum in his mouth.â
Satoru made a pleased noise of agreement in the back of his throat, his eyes looking up to gaze at you both.
âFuck,â Suguru groaned out, âIâm cumming-â
His body tensed up as he reached his high, his cum spurting into Satoruâs mouth, dripping down the sides of his lips as he pulled himself off his boyfriendâs dick, swallowing and wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
âGod fuck Suguru, we need to get you eating fruits again. That tasted like battery acid.â
Suguru shifted to cuddle with you, burrowing his face into the crook of your neck, his eyelashes tickling your skin.
âIâve been contemplating genocide, leave me alone. Y/n get him to stop bullying me.â
You giggled, rubbing soothing circles into his broad back, following it with a kiss pressed into his hairline, âStop bullying my baby, âToru.â
âAm I not your baby?!â
âYes you are honey, câmere,â you coaxed, holding your arms out for him.
He sidled up to you, settling into your side, letting his head rest on your shoulder.
Your eyes burned as you shifted to make yourself more comfortable under Suguruâs body weight. Satoru slid his arm around your shoulders, sliding you down so you were lying down with your dark haired lover still holding onto you like a koala.
Satoru moved to drape his arm over Suguruâs back and brushed a kiss over both of your cheekbones, âYou guys got any missions tomorrow?â
âNo.â
âNope.â
He smiled, all soft lines and wrinkling nose, so unlike the cocky smirk he paraded around wearing, âGood. We can sleep in then. Maybe clean up Sugubooâs room while he gets some food.â
Suguru hummed, nuzzling his face into your chest. âLove you,â he whispered, his voice muffled against your skin, the words spoken so tentatively that you almost missed them.
âLove you, Suguru,â said Satoru, playfully sticking his tongue out, plopping his head down onto the pillow, âEven when your cum tastes like toxic waste.â
âShut up.â
âLove you, dorks. Now let's just sleep please. Iâm tired.â
The three of you fell asleep like that, your personal weighted blanket Suguru on top of you, Satoru holding the both of you from the side.

Wc-2.2k
-
Geto really needs to start checking that he locks his door.
âIt's going to be perfect!â Gojo says almost screaming and Geto pushes his face into his pillow further.
âThat is what you said last time you had a plan to kiss her.â Gojo rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.Â
âOkay, it wasnât my fault.âÂ
âYou knocked her out.â
âOn accident!â Gojo whined and Geto turned around and his eyes were met with his blue-eyed friend.Â
âWhat plan do you have now, Satoru?â Geto sighs and sits up. Gojo bounced up on his feet.Â
âTonight at the party weâre playing, Spin the Bottle!â He then shook his hands dramatically. âIâve hired Yu to help me out. Heâs going to embed the bottle with his cursed energy and every time Y/n spins the bottle Yu will make sure it lands on me every single time and vice versa!âÂ
There was a silence that took over.Â
âThat's a stupid plan Satoru. Did you forget we would be able to see and sense the cursed energy coming from the bottle and Yuâs hand?â The realization hit Gojo like a truck.Â
âOh.âÂ
âAh huh.â Gojos shoulders slumped before he sighed. But that was short-lived when the tall man smiled brightly.
âI'm going to fix this!â
âCanât wait.â
-
Yu sat in the courtyard practicing his bottle-spinning skills to land on one target.Â
I have to get this right
âYUUUUUU!â Gojo screamed down the courtyard and the first year shot up.Â
âGojo?âÂ
Said the man almost crashing into him. Gojo placed his hands on Yuâs shoulders.Â
âWe have a problem!â
âWhat!?â Yu says.
âI realized everyone would be able to see your energy and detect it at the party!â Yu gasps and he face palms out of stress.
âHow did I forget? What are we going to do? I still want to help you.â Gojo rubbed his chin.
âWell, youâre still a smart guy. Can you figure out a way for the bottle to still land on her?âÂ
Yu thought for a moment.
âYeah I guess I could get a counterweight in the bottle, and as long as she sits diagonally of you. When she spins it, the bottle should land on you.âÂ
Gojo had to suppress the urge to jump up and down.Â
âThanks, Yu!â
-
Yu and Kento arrived first. Kento with his usual frown and Yu was just happy to be included. Yu waved the bottle at Gojo and gave him a thumbs up.Â
Geto came in soon after and greeted his friends.Â
A few minutes passed and Gojos nerves started.Â
Where is she?
âOh, Shoko you canât!âÂ
There she is
Gojo heard your angelic voice and his heart fluttered. He zoomed to the entrance and poked his head out. You and Shoko walked side by side giggling to each other. You spotted Gojo and he swore your smile got bigger.
âToru!â You sped up your walk until you were fully in front of him. You grabbed his hands and squeezed. Gojo felt his whole body burn at the touch. âThanks for the invite.âÂ
âY-Yeah youâre welcome, hope you have fun.âÂ
âWell youâre here, so I know I will!â Gojo let out a chuckle and then looked down at your joined hands again.
SHE'S TOUCHING ME SHE'S HOLDING MY HAND
âSorry, that was bad.â Gojo tugged you inside the room, still squeezing your hand.Â
âNo that was perfect, youâre perfect.âÂ
Shoko sucked in a breath
Nanamiâs eyes widenedÂ
Yu smiled awkwardlyÂ
And Geto cringedÂ
You, ever the kindest person, just smiled.Â
âI realized I've never actually been to your room.â You say looking around. âIt's much bigger than the ones I have seen.âÂ
âBenefits of being a clan head and one of the strongest of course.â He shrugs like it was the most obvious thing.Â
âOkay, Satoru Gojo.â You playfully rolled your eyes.Â
God, I love it when she says my name
âYour Japanese has gotten better.â He says and hands you a ramune.Â
âThanks, I think I'm finally fluent thanks to Nanamiâs teachings.âÂ
âOh right, forgot you guys spent time doing that.â He says with a slight frown. Shoko has to stifle a laugh from behind him.Â
âIâll be right back.â You say and walk to Yu, Nanami, and Geto.Â
âHey.â Shoko leans towards Gojo. âYou should really take down that stupid Waka Inoue poster if youâre going to be serious about her.â Gojo gasped and he looked over to the poster he had beside his bed on the wall. Right in your line of sight.Â
Fuck
Gojo swore he had never moved faster as he pushed past the four of you and ripped the poster off the wall. Shredding it in the process.Â
Everyone was staring at him like he was crazy.Â
âHaha, I needed some changes in here.â
âAnd I thought you couldnât get any weirder,â Nanami says nonchalantly.Â
âWhatever Nanamin. So does anybody want to play a game!?âÂ
âI'm down.â You shrugged and Yu nodded.Â
âI'm assuming we have no choice,â Shoko says, raising her hand.Â
âNope!â He responded.
âWhat game?â You ask and Gojo smirks.Â
âI'm glad you asked pretty.â Your face warmed at that. âYu, would you like to do the honors?â The brunette nodded enthusiastically and opened his jacket and pulled out the bottle of beer.Â
âSpin the bottle!â He says holding the bottle up high.Â
âHow were you hiding that so well?â Nanami asks and Yu frowns slightly.
âIt was super uncomfortable.âÂ
âAlright, everyone.â Gojo claps his hands. âGather around in a circle.â Yu set the bottle on the ground and everyone made a circle around it. Satoru made sure you were at his diagonal as Yu suggested. âY/n would you like to go first?â You nodded and reached for the bottle and spun it. In the meantime, Gojo dug into his pocket and pulled out a chapstick to apply.Â
He watched the bottle twirl around until it slowly started slowing down. It rocked up and down most likely due to whatever Yu did to the bottle for a weight. Â
It was clearly going to stop in the direction of Gojo and he puffed out his chest slightly. It stopped completely and Gojos eyes widened.
âOh, Nanamiiii!â Shoko says teasingly and throws a chip at the stunned blonde sorcerer.Â
Gojoâs eye twitched under his glasses and his fists clenched.Â
âHuh!?â His head shot over to Yu who was trying not to look at him.
âUh- um- why.â Nanami stammers.Â
âThe bottle has spoken,â Geto says with a knowing smirk he sent Gojo.Â
âWe donât have to if you donât want to, Kento. No pressure whatsoever.â You say with a smile and Nanami blushes hard.
SHE'S CALLING HIM KENTO?
âI would like to.â He said and he shuffled onto his knees. You did the same. Knowing Nanami would never initiate so you placed your hand on his cheek and leaned forward. You and Nanamiâs lips met and his eyes widened but he slowly relaxed. He kissed you back and his hand slid over yours that was holding your weight up.Â
Satoru was seriously contemplating using reversal red on the blonde right then and there. He watched your mouth open slightly to add tongue and he immediately shoved Nanami back.Â
âOkay Okay, we get it.â He says and avoids your stare. âShoko?âÂ
Shoko got Yu
Geto got Shoko
And Gojo got his bed THAT WAS RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
Everyone teased him and wouldnât let them kiss you after he reasoned that innate objects werenât part of it and you were the closest person.Â
Nobody wanted to see him win.
The bottle made its way back to you and you spun it. Gojoâs chest tightened and anxiety rushed through his body as he watched the bottle slow down.Â
FUCKING SHOKO?
What hurt even worse was that there was no hesitation between either of you. Your lips locked immediately and you fell in a rhythm like the two of you had kissed before.
Gojo couldnât even let himself enjoy the sight of two girls kissing like the other three guys were.Â
He was definitely getting some practice with Red tonight
Heâs (not) joking
âGet a room,â Gojo says and it came out a bit more aggressive than intended. Shoko pulled away from you and she smirked at Gojo.Â
âJealous?âÂ
You know I amÂ
âGames over.â He says and stands up. Shoko and Geto groaned and tried to call him back but Gojo pouted with a pack of cookies. You were quiet along with Nanami and Yu. Â
The rest of the night consisted of Gojo sitting in a chair in the corner of his room. While the 5 of you talked and laughed for almost two hours.Â
But slowly everyone started leaving. First, it was Nanami, followed by Yu(after apologizing to Satoru a thousand times), and Shoko then left mumbling about needing a cigarette. That left Geto, you, and Gojo.Â
You and Geto made small talk as you helped pick up empty chip bags and bottles. Gojo did help but he was quiet the whole time. You tried to get Geto to tell you but he said it wasnât his place. He offered to walk you to your dorm room but you declined and gave him a look. Geto simply lowers his head and bids you and Gojo good night.
âSatoru?â
âHmm.âÂ
âCan we talk?â He shrugged and sat on his bed. You sat down as well, tucking a leg under you and letting the other dangle. âWhy didnât you just ask me out?âÂ
His blue eyes widened and he looked at you.Â
âUh- what- huh?â His stumbling made you giggle.
âDid you forget my technique?â You shuffled closer to him and his shoulders slumped.
âYouâre getting good at hiding it, youâll be the fourth special grade by the end of the year.â He pushes his knee against yours and you roll your eyes.Â
âStop trying to change the subject.â You grabbed his hand and squeezed. âSpin the bottle was a really dumb plan.âÂ
âI just had this big idea to woo you.â
âI know, but you didnât need to. I like you, like a lot.â Gojoâs face burnt red and he wiped his palms on his sweats.Â
âOh. Really?â He was shockedÂ
âWhy is that so hard to believe?â You scooted next to him until your shoulders touched. âI like you Satoru Gojo, maybe even love.âÂ
His heart started racing and he swallowed harshly. He took his glasses off, folded them in, and set them on his night table. His blue eyes seemed brighter now.Â
He turned his face to you and you smiled.Â
âI like you too.âÂ
His cursed energy was buzzing brightly now.Â
âCan I kiss you?âÂ
He swore his heart just exploded in his chest and he couldnât help but nod quickly.Â
âYeah, sure.â He tried to be smooth but he then scratched the back of his neck. âIâve just never kissed anyone.â He fully expected you to tease him about it but you just kept your smile.
âThat's okay, I'll teach you.â You say and slid your hand behind his neck. You pulled him close to you and pushed your lips onto his. His head jerked back slightly at the feeling but let you take the lead. Â
The kiss was messy as Gojo tried to fall in a rhythm with you. But he always learned quickly and soon tongue was added. One of his hands found your waist and squeezed, the action made you moan into his mouth. Gojo pulled you in, trying to get you over his lap but you pushed his chest gently making you separate. The two of you tried to catch your breath but Gojo was trying to capture your lips again.Â
âCalm down.â You giggle and peck his lips.Â
âYou just taste so good, so sweet.â He took your bottom lip between his teeth and kissed you again. You tugged his white hair back making him smile. âThat feels nice.â You rolled your eyes and scooted back.Â
Gojoâs face then changed to something mischievous. He lifted himself onto his knees and you frowned.
âNo Satoru.â You tried to scoot back but he tackled you down and started tickling you. You squirmed and squealed in his grip, trying to keep your mouth shut to not alert the others in the boy's dorm.Â
âBe mine.â He says, stopping his torment. Your mouth twitched to another smile and you pushed a hand against his cheek. He turned his head and pushed his lips against your inner wrist. âBe my girl.âÂ
âAnd if I say no?â You squinted your eyes at him and he pouted.Â
âY/nnn, donât play with my poor heart.âÂ
âSorry, I'd love to be your girl.â You kissed the tip of his nose and he captured your lips. He dropped his weight on you, trapping you under him.Â
âYou know.â He pulled away from you and dug his face into your neck. âI was totally going to reverse red Shoko and Nanamin.âÂ

this was commented a while ago on my tiktok (it was about this post), but itâs so good, itâs stayed on my mind ever since. iâve been meaning to talk about this for a while!
on geto & empathy.
letâs address the likely reason why people tend to see geto in this empathic light and through this lens that almost absolves him from blame.
the hidden inventory arc, especially towards the end, was written in a way that humanized geto; we read his mind, we saw his thoughts and how he processed them, we shadowed him as he went through traumatic event after traumatic event. we were placed in his shoes as he ran through a never-ending marathonâessentially, we were him in his moments. weâre supposed to empathize with him.
itâs why at first hand, his defection mightâve seemed like a logical conclusion to us. it made sense. (unlike how it was for every other character in the story, and especially how it was for gojoâgetoâs decision came to them all as a shock.) this is what makes him a well-written character and an overall excellent villain.
itâs also probably why geto is such a personal character to many people, but this intimate association doesnât make him faultless. yes, he was a victim of circumstance, but so was everyone else in the story. geto was also a perpetrator who inflicted harm on other people: a genocidal cult leader who had his eyes set on the greater good, someone who disregarded the means for the end. âwell-written,â in my opinion, also means multifaceted, complex.
now letâs talk about geto pre defection.
geto is gojoâs foil. at first read, heâs supposed to contrast gojo in a way that highlights specific aspects of gojoâs character. (and vice versa, but this arc is also called âgojoâs past arcâ for a reason; gojo is our main character in this part of the story, he is our point of reference.) geto serves as a comparison to gojo, but he also stands as his own character. where gojo failed to empathize with the âweak,â geto succeeded. but what was empathy to geto anyway?
empathy, in its colloquial connotation, is seen as a virtue. itâs a community-building tool and itâs inherently human. itâs how we contextualize our place in the world and our connection to other people. in broad construct, itâs a âgoodâ quality to have, to be empathicâbut not all forms of empathy are the same.
getoâs empathy towards the âweakâ was, in a word, paternalisticâlike how a father would interact with his children, or how a deity or a king would interact with their subjects. it stemmed from his arrogance and his âwell-meaningâ saviorism tendencies: in short, âi am better than you, therefore i know better than you. i know whatâs best for you.â this is especially true in regards to his patronizing attitude towards non-sorcerers pre defection (and it extends post defection, too).
getoâs sense of duty as a sorcerer manifested in how he assumed responsibility, and to a lesser extent, authority over non-sorcerers. itâs a type of benevolent prejudice; these people are powerless and weak, therefore inferior to him, and so itâs his job to protect them, itâs his job to care. while he had good intentions, he saw them as âlack,â not as humans who were ultimately just different from him. he saw them as helpless victims of themselves; which, given his occupation at the time, was an apt contextualization, but within the bigger picture, it ironically dehumanized non-sorcerers. it was underhandedly condescending, whether he was conscious of it or not.
the very root of his defection is this: he did not view non-sorcerers as equals to him in the first place. sure, plenty of other sorcerers also have this mindset, especially the very powerful ones, but geto made this the basis of his purpose, taking on the moral high ground by giving it meaning. after toji and after mimiko and nanako, he recontextualized and changed the meaning of what it meant to be powerfulâbut while his circumstances and his proximity to non-sorcerers changed (him revoking his empathy towards them), the patronizing way he viewed them (âmonkeysâ now) was constant; it was his pivot foot from charitable pity to resentment and hatred.
some things to consider: i assume geto was fairly new to the jujutsu scene in the hidden inventory arc, given his non-sorcerer family. i also assume he mustâve felt very alone prior to his enrollment, being the only one in his family to see cursed spirits, and possibly the only one in his childhood environment. this grand introduction to a some sort of a secret society mustâve felt special to him; it mustâve made him feel special, especially considering he was put on par with the kid who everyone thought was immensely powerful.
i can see why he thought himself better compared to the non-sorcerer background he grew up in. plus, it would be hard to not let your ego inflate when someone like gojo keeps referring to you as half of âthe strongest duo.â
i also think that despite how black and white and consequential his outlook on life was before and after his defection, he probably still had his doubts and moments of wavering throughout his decade-long career as a curse user. i mean, he said it himselfâhis goal is only possible for one person only, and itâs not him. that could definitely be a factor, and it could also be some lingering sentimentality, too. he burned the bridge between him and his past and he just couldnât risk the distance, but he probably thought of it sometimes.
iâll end this post with a quote from him from the anime that made me really think. geto does care, but at such a young age, it was a juvenile and idealistic concept of âcare.â had he stayed and grown up a little, worked through the trauma and organized with his fellow sorcerers (instead of assuming responsibility alone like he did, leaving to create a better future for sorcerers without including them in his plans), perhaps he couldâve made this a reality:
âsurvival of the weakest. thatâs how a society should be. the weak help each other and discourage any who are too strong.â
