Written for gojohime daily prompt, "Blindfold"

********************

"Wear this"

Before Utahime can react, everything turns black when Gojo wraps a sikly fabric around her eyes. A blindfold. His blindfold

"How am supposed to dance? I can't see anything", she protests

"We have practiced thousand of times. You are a pro, I know you memorized all your steps"

"Tsk! If I messed up, you could die. Don't blame me if that happened", she is joking, obviously

"No, I won't. You will do perfect, Utahime. If I died, that will be on me"

Utahime huffs. "This is not comfortable at all, Gojo!", she scowls

"Just— wear it", Gojo stops her when Utahime tries to get rid of the cloth. "I don't want you to see"

"See what?"

"Me"

"Huh?", she asks dumbfoundedly

Gojo shrugs. "... just in case"

In case I get hurt
In case I die

"Don't look at me, Utahime"

"I have to find Satoru", Utahime takes off the blindfold and rushes towards the stairs

"Don't go, Utahime!", Principal Gakuganji has warned her. Ijichi too, tried to stop her but being the strong-headed that she is, Utahime runs down the staircase into the battlefield

The buildings collapse, the streets are smashed from immense blast of a familiar cursed energy. Everything is dark as the lamp posts are broken

Utahime's sights are blury from fogs and her own tears, her feet are freezing from frostbites but she proceeds to walk until she sees a body lying tiredly among the rubbles

Utahime clutches the fabric of Gojo's blindfold tightly in her palm, clawing into her own skin, almost bleeding

His eyes are staring up at the already black sky. The moon is full, and white and so bright, but then they shift when Gojo senses a shadow approaching

Utahime kneels next to him. She carefully holds his head up and supports his neck with the other hand before slowly placing him on her lap

She doesn't say anything. She cannot even find the right word to utter because they are so much to say to him now

"Utahime.. you cryin'?", he manages a smug

She gives him a shake but Gojo can feel a drop of tear on his cheek, followed by another

"You've done enough", she has always wanted to tell him that — he's done great, and it's enough. "You need to rest", her voice breaking

"I will", he smiles weakly, then looks back to the moon. "The moon is beautiful isn't it, Utahime?", nearly a whisper

Utahime almost can see the moon reflecting perfectly in Gojo's eyes. "It is, Gojo", and she leans down to kiss his lips. It's short yet it feels so long during this final minutes left between them

Gojo allows himself to dissolve in their last kiss

"I love you, Satoru"

That is the last thing he hears before nothingness

Utahime puts the blindfold on to cover his awaked eyes. She once again kisses him before finally letting him go, for good

"I will see you soon"

Let's go for angst today 😃

Believe it or not, I literally dreamt about this a few weeks ago so I decide to write based on it and elaborate more to make it a longer story. In my dream, Utahime was dancing in the sky, among the clouds, wearing Gojo's blindfold and there was Gojo and Sukuna flying around her, blasting each other with their techniques 😭✋

When I woke up I found it funny at first but after Chp236 suddenly everything's clicking 💔💔 and to think that Utahime might still not know what has happened to Gojo in the manga is just ☹️
