1, 2, 3, I love you

Summary:

Gojou’s never been good with physical affection.

Notes:

Inspired by this artwork by kevinmacross. I’m sorry if the link isn’t working for some reason? But looking up the artist on Instagram should do the trick!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

1, 2, 3 taps mean I love you
It’s stupid, Gojou said, but physical affection never came easy,
How would it, when he was shielded from it from the ripe age of 2?
But Getou was patient, far more patient than Gojou could have been
They were two lost souls, dancing in that foreign wind
That comes with that stupid warm feeling in his chest
And that feeling of belonging radiating like a bright diamond around his neck
We are the strongest,
We are the strongest,
I trust you,
I love you,
I love you

Now Gojou sits in a gallery of his fucked up mistakes
Every frame contains his face
He doesn’t hum, he doesn’t whistle,
He can do nothing but
Tap, tap, tap
On his knee
I am the strongest.
I am the strongest.

Notes:

So I’m not sure how well poetry does on AO3 but I got really inspired by alternative ways to show affection, this particular piece of art, and, well, my own experiences (it’s a hard life being a Gojou kinnie 😩).

Kudos and comments are appreciated! Let me know if you’d be interested in any more satosugu poetry or give me some ideas for a satosugu short story!
