Gojo was crying. Yes, you heard that right. Crying.
The strongest sorcerer alive? Crying? Yep.
Unfortunately, Gojo was just that sad… what was he crying about?
His bestfriend. Geto. More like his ex-bestfriend though, because they broke up.
———————————————
Flashback to 40 minutes ago
“Are you the strongest because you’re Satoru Gojo? Or are you Satoru Gojo because you’re the strongest?”, Geto asked before he disappeared into the crowd. Gojo was so hurt that tears started welling up in his eyes. But he held back tears because the strongest can’t be crying over something like this, can they? That would hurt his pride. As the strongest.
He ended up getting food from the kfc they broke up in front of. To try and calm himself, maybe.
———————————————
He went to his dorm room and dropped his 2 piece chicken combo on the floor.
And plopped down on his bed.
“HBDZFVZEFVVFSKJHDFZNJO”
The heartbroken man was now screaming into a pillow. He has been bawling his eyes out for 30 minutes straight and it made all six of his eyes hurt.
“That dumbass!— HES SO STUPID!!!”
Gojo then pounded his fist on the poor bed a few times and rolled around like a burrito that was dropped.
sniff
“HOW COULD HE DO THIS TO ME?!- LEAVING ME ALL BECAUSE OF A DUMB-!!..”
…
Gojo was thinking. What caused Geto to think of this atrocious plan? Maybe.. just maybe..
it was all the deaths. Of humans.
AND HE WANTED TO SOLVE THAT BY EVEN MORE DEATHS?!
“AARGHGGH!!! THAT WAS SUCH A STUPID PLAN!!! WHY IS HE SO STUPID?! WHY WOULD HE WANT BASICALLY THE WHOLE WORLD TO DIE?!” He yelled so loud it got the attention of the whole school. But this is a normal Satoru Gojo thing to do, so it was ignored (—but it definitely annoyed some people). Six eyes felt like crying again, so he hid under his favorite (and only) blanket. It had Suguru’s initials on it. For some reason.
He could never admit how much he missed him already.
——————————————————
Three hours later, and he was STILL CRYING.
sobs “I DON’T AT ALL DON’T MISS YOU—I really, really… don’t care-“ SOBS
He knew he was lying to himself so he just stopped trying.
His eyes were red and puffy now. At this point Gojo was about to run out of tears, which should’ve happened earlier but didn’t. Probably because he was special. Or he was just that sad.
..tap…tap..
Someone was knocking on his door. Gojo hurriedly sat up on his bed, staring at the door shockingly. He blinks a couple of times. The soft knocking started from the door again. The sad white haired human quickly rubbed his eyes in hopes of reducing the redness and puffiness from his recent nonstop tear shedding session. He tried to make the tear stains on his cheeks less visible to look okay.
“Who could it be..? …Suguru..? Or maybe not. I hope it’s him.. what if it’s not?…”
He didn’t want the person to wait any longer, so Gojo tried his best to look fine and somewhat presentable. He slowly turned the knob with a forced smile on his face—eyes expectant to see the one he missed so much.
And who was it?
It was him. Gojo’s forced smile instantly became a genuine one but he tried to suppress the muscles around his mouth from twitching up.
Geto looked at Gojo and stared awkwardly while making eye contact.
They got lost in their own thoughts, and still affected by the events that happened just a few hours ago, didn’t know what to say to each other. After Gojo realized the long silence that came over them, he looked down to find Geto holding something. There was a BRIGHT pink box of what was probably chocolate inside. It was decorated with a SHINY and GLITTERING red ribbon. Looks just like a chocolate Valentine’s Day gift. Wait, is it Valentine’s Day today? Gojo has completely forgotten if it was.
They continued to stare at each other awkwardly for a while before one of them said something.
“Uhm… hi”, Geto finally croaked out.
“…Hi.. Suguru.”
“Listen… I’m.. sorry. I realized that it was a stupid idea, and I made the wrong choices.”
Gojo was listening now. He missed his best friend’s voice.
“..it’s just that… his death has gotten to me. I was questioning myself..
..but, I would much rather spend time with you than leave you.. so, I hope… you can forgive me for that…”
Gojo was mixed with so many emotions but mostly relief… Suguru didn’t even need an apology for Gojo to forgive him. All he wanted was to be with Geto. Gojo blushed slightly and his eyes wanted to water again.
“I already forgave you a long time ago.. come in”, Gojo invited Geto in and they sat down on the floor.
“Is this for me?” Gojo pointed at the very practically glowing BRIGHT pink valentines themed box of chocolates.
“Uh huh..” Geto’s face turned red a little because he usually didn’t do these things and it was a little too pink. Gojo wanted to laugh and embarrass Geto even more, but he couldn’t find the words as he was even brighter than the GLITTERY red ribbon.
Throughout his life, Gojo has gotten various gifts and boxes of chocolates from people on Valentines, but those don’t even begin to compare to the one he just received. It was special . His one and only best friend got it for him. He has never received a valentine’s gift from Geto so this was a first, making it feel extra special.
“So… am I your best friend again?” Geto asked skeptically.
“Nope.”
“Huh?..”
“You were always my best friend..” If you thought it was impossible for Gojo to blush an even brighter shade of red, well you’re wrong! Nothing is impossible for Gojo.
“Oh… I thought you would’ve hated me after that…”
“I would never hate you..”
“…” Suguru chuckled. “Same.”
“You want some?” Gojo started unboxing the chocolate. A letter fell out from under the ribbon. He looked at Suguru who seemed to remember something and opened the letter.
Six eyes used his two visible eyes to read the letter.
“What? This is just your apology in word form!” Gojo was confused and sort of frustrated. Wait, did he think that it was going to be a love letter or something?
“Uh, at first I thought of just dropping this off in front of your door… but I decided it was better for both of us to talk it out in person.” Suguru shrugged and made an ‘eh’ face.
“WOW. You’re so meaannnn!!”, Satoru whined while devouring two heart-shaped chocolates. (Did he care much though? Not when there’s a whole feast of chocolates in front of him)
The two ex-ex-best friends ate the chocolate, enjoying each other’s company that was once taken for granted. Guess who ate most of the chocolates.
Geto let his best (boy)friend have the last piece, since it was his present anyways. Just as Gojo popped the treat in his mouth, he thought of something and was pondering.
“Hey Suguru, can I ask you something?”
“Yea, what is it?”
“Are you… going to leave me.. again?”
“… hmm. Nah, not anytime soon. Maybe in the future?”
“HUUHHH?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THATTT?!.?” Gojo jumped up and body tackled his (boy)friend. Suguru was laughing like a maniac. He stopped when he started getting punched in the face. The end.
