“You want a nap date, hm?” Gojo wears a pensive expression as he holds his chin in thought for a long moment before he indulges you with one of his unfunny puns. His handsome face brightens with his usual grin that causes a flutter in your heart when you were under the impression he would reject the entire idea given how silly it sounds out loud. “That’s an intriguing idea. Let me sleep on it.”
“Satoru, I’m being serious right now.” He always has a way of challenging your composure despite wanting to be taken seriously, and he succeeds almost each and every time with the soft laughter that escapes you. “I really think we should have home dates more often just for quiet times. Why is there always the constant need for outings when we can just enjoy the small things? Like say, taking a nap together sounds nice right about now.”
If you were being honest, you’re more than aware of his poor sleeping habits because of his profession as a shaman, being a teacher at Tokyo tech, and upholding many duties and responsibilities as a clan leader. Not to mention how curses never sleep and in return, Gojo barely gets any rest to keep up with his high-functioning lifestyle and everything else beyond that. You thought this was the very least you could do when he doesn’t intend on allotting more sleep hours than the amount he’s currently receiving.
Since you moved in with him, Gojo probably doesn’t get more than four hours of sleep each night and you always reprimand him about not properly looking after himself and that you’re afraid you’ll get worry lines because of him. Sometimes you’re scared that the heavy burden he carries will eventually catch up to him and he’ll collapse without so much as a warning. And it’s not fair how he always makes sure you’re well taken care of when he doesn’t do the same for himself.
You know that Gojo has a knack for reading people, so chances are he already knows your true intentions behind this carefully arranged date. And honestly? He thinks you’re really sweet for caring so much about him even though he constantly reassures you that he’s perfectly fine but you’re very persistent unless he does this one thing for you. After all, you believe that even the Strongest Sorcerer needs his well-deserved rest after working so hard to keep the balance of the world.
“That’s why we have movie nights, honey. Doesn’t that count as one of the small things?” He counters, and your lips purse into an adorable pout that makes him more compliant to your wishes.
“You missed the part where I said quiet times.”
“Oh yeah? You got me there.” He chuckles gently, and you can see the way he gestures himself which shows you he’s more welcoming of your suggestion even though he’s playing coy. He never had much of a choice because how could he ever possibly refuse you? “If that’s the case, I wanna know if there are snuggles included on this nap date.”
“Did you even have to ask?” With a cheeky smile spread across your face, you take his much larger hand in yours to follow you into the bedroom. You crawl underneath the covers and his warmth instantly pools around you as your bodies are flushed against each other and limbs become entangled and you’re sweetly facing each other. Still smiling like cute fools in love as your hearts beat in sync and he kisses you goodnight for now and murmurs,
“See you in my dreams?”
