Geto POV
Gojo: On my way.
Geto sees the message on his phone, as he stands at the bench Gojo suggested for them to meet at, the same bench they crossed paths at the other day. Geto chuckles to himself as he writes his reply.
Geto: You're going to be late, Satoru.
He stands there for a few moments staring at his phone waiting to see if he'll get another response.
Gojo: You're an idiot, Suguru. 
Geto's heart skips a beat seeing that Gojo sent a joking message back, thinking how Gojo must not be as angry as he was the other day, gives him hope for the encounter to come.
It's now 11:54 pm and of course, Gojo is still nowhere to be found. Being late is a joke between the two of them, neither are usually late. They're both chronically on time due to the nature of the work they used to do. But, assuming Gojo is nervous, he is late tonight. That's why Geto came early, so he wouldn't have the opportunity to be nervous.
12:03 am- Geto hears footsteps approaching him, it's dark and he can't see who it is. But did you really think that mattered? Of course, he can sense who it is, he can always sense Gojo's cursed energy.
As he sees a figure appear, he softly greets, "Satoru, that you?" 
And just as he says that the figure stops walking. Seemingly shocked.  After a moment the figure starts forward again- "The one and only" Gojo says with a slight chuckle, trying to mask how nervous he is. 
Gojo walks all the way to Geto now, and they stand there making awkward faces at one another for a moment, looking at each other but trying not to make eye contact at the same time. 
"Satoru I-" he tries speaking but gets cut off quickly. 
"I was abrupt and rude to you the other day and didn't let you speak and I'm sorry." Gojo blurts out. 
Taken back by Gojos's sudden and out-of-character response, Geto stands there staring straight into his eyes for a moment. 
'Fuck- I just want to touch him.' Geto thinks to himself briefly as their eyes stare into each other. 
"You- uhm, Satoru- I don't really know where to begin. I shouldn't have left without saying anything, I should have asked what you wanted, I should have kept your wishes in my mind, I should have-" Geto was going to finish his sentence, but stopped when he realized exactly what he was saying.
"I should have told you how much I love you, and I should have been happy having you by my side as it was, I didn't have to burn the world to the ground Satoru, I just needed you." He finally admits. 
"Suguru, it was never that I didn't want you to do the things you felt were right- I just didn't want you to do them alone, I didn't want you to be alo- no, that's a lie. The truth would be that I didn't want to be alone. I love you so much it physically hurt not having you by my side. Suguru, I-" Gojo tries to keep speaking but he's cut off when arms wrap around him, one around the back of his shoulders and the other hand placed firmly on the back of his head.
Geto lets his head rest on Gojo's shoulder, tears welling in his eyes, through a shaking voice he says "Satoru, you mean after all these years- you still love me?"
You'd think this was a cute lovey-dovey moment, Geto did, but Gojo just started laughing. It started as a giggle and worked into a full crying laughter. 
"Are you serious right now?" Gojo says, tears pouring down his cheeks from laughter, his face turns more harsh, riddled with confusion. "You thought I stopped loving you?" He says in a more serious tone now.
Geto is taken aback by Gojo's seriousness, Geto went rogue, made himself a criminal, and even imprisoned Gojo, why would Gojo still love him after all of these years? "There were plenty of reasons for you to have stopped loving me, Satoru. After all these years I figured you'd at least lost some interest in me." Geto says bluntly.
"Fascinating you'd think of me that way, Suguru. After you always saying how childish and unwilling to lose I am. Then to say I strike you as the type to give us so easy?" Gojo says, with sarcasm in his voice.
"Satoru- that isn't what I meant!" Geto says trying to defend himself. 
They both stand close enough from the earlier hug that they brush against each other every time they talk or move. Geto drops his hand down, letting his fingers graze Gojos. They both stop and stare down at their hands. Then look back up at each other, holding eye contact once more. Gray eyes meet muddy brown ones, both glossed over with remnants of tears and so much emotion behind them. Happiness, sadness, fear, anger, regret.
"Satoru"
"Suguru" 
They say simultaneously, both stopping and waiting for the other to finish speaking. 
"I love you"
"I love you"
They both say in unison again followed by sharing a chuckle.
"I admit there's plenty we should talk about, Satoru. Working through our problems will take some time, but I'm willing to try if you are?" Geto says in hopes Gojo will agree. 
"Will you come back to Jujutsu Tech with me?" Gojo blurts out after a long moment of silence.
"Jujutsu Tech? You really think I'll be accepted there?" Geto says in shock by the suggestion. 
"You'll be accepted just fine, I'll be sure of it. If you can burn the whole world to the ground for me, the least I can do is keep the older jujutsu sorcerers in check, right?" Gojo says pulling his sunglasses down so his eyes can be seen. 
Geto laughs at the seductive face Gojo gives, "whatever you say, Satoru."












A/N- I profusely apologize for the late and shorter update- sickness kicked my butt and life has been crazy lately. I just want to take my time putting chapters out, and not put out rushed work I'd later regret. Thank you so much for understanding and always always thank you for reading! <3 :)
