" we are still trying to locate the perpetrator" a suited man tried his best to catch up with the tall figure.
Gojo nods in response, mind clouded with thoughts. " I know, I will find it myself" Gojo discussed, dismissing the worker
" although given its power to shape shift... it might start another gang and do everything again with a new identity" the person predicted. Gojo cringes at the thought, not wanting another event to happen
Ahead of him, he sees a hut that is protected by a force field.
" I'll update you Gojo, for now goodbye" the figure stopped in his tracks, allowing Gojo to continue forward
Waving, Gojo enters the barrier easily, seeing all the injured sorcerers on the verge of death.
Gojo frowns, scanning the severity of the situation.
" how are you holding up?" Gojo strides over to a wounded sorcerer. " could be doing better" they only managed to cough out
Gojo's face contorted, out of sympathy and mercy. " will you just kill me? I can't live like this" they manage to cry out in despair
Gojo placed a gentle hand on theirs. He couldn't respond, or at least give a proper and reassuring answer. " I know it's hard, that's life."
Life. He remembers when it was fulfilling.
These days, Gojo thinks to himself at night, his dreams emerging him into the depths of the water where no one can pull him out.
From time to time he sees a silhouette of you. But he knows it's not real.
But no, now there's only one thing worth living for. Megumi. He wants to keep living to take care of him and many students after him
| LATER
Gojo strides over to Shoko's office. Everything that happened, all the fights brought a plague to her well-being
Shoko pinched the bridge of her nose, tired from filling out the papers. Gojo gently knocked on the door, gaining her full attention
" are you heading out to see [y/n]?" Shoko inquires, knowing his routine by now. " yeah, I was wondering if you wanted to come", he offered
" so much paper work." Shoko's sighs were a clear indicator of her stress. Gojo shows some sympathy, murmuring a quiet sorry as if the whole ordeal was his doing
" sorry not this time..." Shoko looked up to the hopeless man
" I'll let you know if she wakes up" Gojo's tone was silent, clearly showing how lost in thought he was. "
Hopefully " Shoko crosses her arms for comfort
" but before you go. Drop by Geto's grave for me, give him these flowers" Shoko quickly gathered a bouquet of white flowers
Gojo takes them and nods, planning to go anyway after visiting you.
He fights the urge to say something, although nothing escapes his lips as he exits her office quietly. After the door shut Gojo felt a suffocating lock had attached to his heart
A lock he didn't have a key to.
| PRESENT
All the events prior to your injuries were blurred. All you knew was that bright light had shifted to a different setting. You could only feel like something was missing, a message perhaps?
Regardless, all that was forgotten in Gojo's embrace who made you feel like you were finally free.
" god [y/n] do you know long I was waiting for you wake up?" Gojo's eyes softened, his dull eyes turning into a warm hue
Your fingers graze the side of his cheek, " I'm so sorry" you manage to murmur, eyes overwhelmed with guilt
Gojo's chuckle was heaven to your ears. " I love you. [y/n]" Gojo confesses, a heavy burden on his chest being lifted
Your eyes slightly widen, as if you haven't heard it a thousand times before. " I love you too. Satoru" his name wasn't foreign off your tongue anymore
" and I'm so so sorry for everything I put you through. I was trying to destroy that stupid gang. Now they might start that fateful night again and again" you begin to spit out everything in the moment
Gojo doesn't like the sight, the sight of you stressing over things that isn't the present. " [y/n], I understand why you did it. But you should've told me you left Tokyo to find the person who turned everyone into curses" Gojo voiced his own concerns
" I know and I'm sorry. When I found them, I just decided to work for them in hopes to destroy their organisation inside out. Now that stupid shift shaping curse user escaped" your sighs were expressed
" no no, you don't need to apologise baby. Don't care about that right now, we still have other things to talk about" Gojo didn't want to dwell on depressing matters , his hands warmth reaching your heart
" then let's talk about our plans for the future" you comprise ideas. Gojo's lips slightly open, such words felt familiar to him
He remembered when you were young, talking about a home made house with two kids. Besides it was never too late to start a new, the both of you running far away from the cruel world.
| DECEMBER
" god where are the taxis?!?" You waved every car down. Your hospital attire left drivers passing you like a herd of bees
Your situation was hopeless. Although the doctor advised you to stay for a few more days, you couldn't bare it , you wanted to experience the whole and hopefully get back to work
" well who is this?" A voice calls out to you from behind. You felt caught, and slowly turn around to see a man in a black winter dressing
" [y/n] what are you doing in the cold?" Gojo's breath seemed to deliver fog. " nothing..just going to the garden!" You were swift with your lies
Gojo's dimples show as he smiles at your childish tac tics. " why don't you guide me to the garden then?" Gojo holds out his gloved hands
" huh...sure" you were screwed, you had no idea where the hospital garden was.
Nevertheless you reluctantly guided Gojo outside the hospital, silence sitting in between the two of you. " soooo..." Gojo teasingly whistled
" so." You repeated while playing with the hem of your uniform
The silence in between the two of you became unbearable the more Gojo give you a uplifting smirk
" fine. You caught me, I was sneaking out. I actually don't know where the garden is." You stop, surrendering to the situation you created
" well, not only did you disobey your doctors orders, you lied to me! How cruel [y/n]" Gojo's lips pretended to tug a pout
" you're right, my apologies" you admired, a hand rising up to vow you wouldn't do it again
" you silly girl" Gojo chuckled, bending downs you pick you upwards. " hey! What are you doing!" You were caught off guard
" I'm taking you somewhere before the doctors catch us" Gojo winked, placing a firm arm over your body. You decide to shut up, amused for his next moves
Soon enough, Gojo takes you to a green garden, the one you were trying to lie about. " the moon looks beautiful, was hoping to watch it with you" Gojo gave an airy laugh as he sits you down on the bench
You chuckle too, feeling enriched in his beautiful eyes. " you're more beautiful you know" you manage to comment. The snow lightly fell down the tree, undistinguishable to Gojo's hair.
Gojo's eyes manages to falter, clearly shocked at your choice of words. " you woe me darling. You know i can't let that slide" Gojo is giddy like a child, swinging his head on your shoulder
Today was the first winter you experienced together, it was currently memorable.
" whatever" you smile, pecking the man's cheek as you both immersed yourself in the faint moon light.
| ??? DAYS-YEARS??
You crouched down, placing a bouquet of flowers down. " everything's going great mom, dad." You manage to break the eminent silence
" I'm sorry I took a while. I had to catch up on my last mission ...and I'm visiting a dear friend that lives here too" your hands were guided along the graves outline
" I'm ready to let go. And start my own family" you confess, standing up.
" I love you. I hope you know that I will always remember your warmth and words" your eyes felt like it was tearing up as your hands touched your necklace
" but for now, I will travel far, not from my usual place, so forgive me if I don't visit for months" you bowed, the wind blowing softly
Suddenly a large hand cups your shoulder, sensing your emotional state. " she will be safe with me, don't worry" Gojo, your newly wedded husband leaned on your shoulder
" yes" you laugh, your hand bearing a ring
" I'd travel through death to find her" Gojo is poetic, taking a moment to stare back into your eyes
" you are so cheesy" you cringe, face leaning backwards to capture your husbands face. " let's head back to the others yeah? Shoko's giving a speech to Suguru" Gojo reported
" oh yes I'm sorry guys, i have to go, but I promise I'll be safe. love you guys." You turn back to your parents, sensing happiness in the wind
You lean down to peck the air surrounding the grave before managing to tie hands with your lover. " bye mum and dad!" Gojo waves with you
" you really are something Gojo" you manage to hide another chuckle
Gojo smiles and leans downwards, smooching both your cheeks, " not even in death can they separate us" he vows, the sounds of Shoko and the others beckoning you guys to hurry to them
All their smiles and laughing are infectious, yet everything is a blur as your attention centres around your love, Gojo.
He stares down at you with loving eyes like he does everyday. Years have passed, and things have certainly changed. But despite this everyone has moved on
" ...and even if deaths gets to you ,I'll chase you to the ends of the earth. Nothing will ever get in between us." Gojo tangles his hands with yours, his ringed finger grazing your skin.
" Never again." Gojo sealed with a never ending kiss
