Work Text:
Yuta was absent from the usual weekend gossip session of first and second year students today, which is quite normal because Yuta is always busier than the other students. They decided to talk about the two people who weren't here, Yuta and Gojo-sensei. Surprisingly, there were quite a few topics revolving around the two of them. Maybe it's because they're the only couple besides Hakari and Kirara in Tokyo school. And a date between two special grade sorcerers must be very interesting.
Itadori carried a cooler with ice inside, Fushiguro carried two bags containing cans of various drinks that everyone had asked to buy, and Nobara arranged plastic cups on the table. Panda's group also came back from buying snacks from outside. They sat down around the common room and turned on the TV to watch some random rom-com movie that Itadori suggested.
Nobara took a bite of potato while watching the female lead angrily leave when she saw the male lead receiving a gift from another girl. The situation in the movie made Nobara's curiosity rise about a couple they knew well.
“How jealous can those two be?”
Others continued to watch movies and grab snacks without any interruption, viewing this as an innocuous chat.
“Satoru is the type that can be jealous of the whole world”
Everyone seems to agree with Panda's comments. Maki bit hard on the cookie and raised her voice as if she wanted to hit someone.
“Last week when Yuta gave us the box of chocolates he was given by an old woman to thank him for protecting her, that idiot Satoru made a fuss and said Yuta was biased.”
“Shake”
Panda continued Maki's words.
“After that, Satoru kept staring so we let him try it, and as soon as he took the first bite, he fell asleep. So that chocolate had a very light amount of alcohol in it, so Yuta didn't let Satoru eat it.”
Nobara and Itadori burst out laughing at their teacher's stupidity and poor alcohol tolerance.
“Ah! Do animals count?”
Itadori spoke up as he remembered a recent incident when he and Yuta went on a mission together. They picked up a stray white cat, whose owner asked them to keep the cat for 2 days.
That white cat was especially attached to Yuta, so Itadori also thought it was right for his senior to take care of the cat.
“Sensei's attitude is so bad that the cat follows Okkotsu-senpai everywhere. In the end, during those two days, both the white cat and Gojo-sensei clung tightly to Okkotsu-senpai, neither of them giving in to the other."
“Uwa is so terrible, even a cat won't spare it”
Maki grimaced hearing the unsightly things their stupid teacher did. The second year class was quite busy those few days, so they didn't pay attention to Gojo's attitude towards the cat. Itadori crushed the snack in his hand and put it in his mouth. Nobara more slowly held the snack between her thumb and index finger and took small bites and started the conversation again.
“What about Okkotsu-senpai? Senpai always pampers Gojo-sensei like that, maybe he's someone who doesn't get jealous easily?”
Nobara didn't notice Fushiguro's face darken as if remembering something. Itatori also chimed in and commented that perhaps only Fushiguro in the first year group knew the truth.
“That's right, Okkotsu-senpai feels very sensitive and delicate in his feelings, I think Gojo-sensei might feel angry because no matter what he does, senpai is not jealous. They are just that type of couple.”
Itadori and Nobara nodded in agreement and felt very good about themselves. Fushiguro sighed and rubbed his forehead while the group of 2nd years laughed at the two innocent juniors.
“You guys don't know anything haha. Hey, Megumi, if you experience it once, tell your two friends about it.”
Maki used her elbow to poke Fushiguro's shoulder sitting next to him, he really didn't want to remember that. Fushiguro recalls the day he witnessed a fierce senior in everyday life.
...
This is a story that happened when Fushiguro still didn't know that Gojo and Yuta were dating.
That day Gojo accidentally met Fushiguro and Yuta at school and it was lunch time so he wanted to have a meal with them. Gojo is wearing glasses today instead of a blindfold, seems to be because of his mood? Fushiguro is not sure if he has any specific reason even though he has known this teacher for many years.
While passing by the shopping street, a few female students wearing uniforms from a nearby high school called them over and asked something, their eyes easily focusing on Gojo's natural charm.
“Wah, you're so handsome, you look like an idol~”
Fushiguro heard a sharp breath coming from next to him but told himself that it was probably just his imagination. Fushiguro and Yuta backed away from Gojo a bit because the female students were trying to surround Gojo, they even asked them to give way a bit.
“Can we take a photo with you? Just one photo! Consider it a good luck charm for the upcoming exam, okay?”
Gojo tries to tactfully refuse, but it will probably take even more time.
“Hey guys, I'm taking my students out to lunch so next time, okay?”
The cute and adorable female students in uniforms with skirts above their knees are now doing movements that make them even more adorable with their pitiful appearance. They grabbed Gojo's arms and tilted their heads adorably.
“No, you said the same thing last time. It's hard to see you around so we can't miss it again. Just one picture, okay?”
‘Tsk’
This time it was a click of the tongue. Fushiguro was sure he hadn't heard wrong. He looked at the senior next to him and was startled. Senpai's face was dark, his eyes were twitching and his hand was tightly holding the strap of his sword bag, this state looked very similar to his senpai's fighting state but was a little different. Fushiguro was also quite uncomfortable because he had to endure an empty stomach and then stand looking at the teacher surrounded by female students.
It is now quite reasonable to show unhappiness to their teacher. If next to Fushiguro was Nobara instead of Yuta, then Fushiguro could accept the situation normally because Nobara always showed an aggressive attitude when annoyed, even scarier than his current senpai. But this is their Okkotsu-senpai! Except for fighting or when senpai's important people are in trouble, senpai will turn on his devil mode. Okkotsu-senpai in everyday life is always in angel mode, he always smiles gently and is ready to help people when needed.
One thing to add is that Okkotsu-senpai is also admired for being able to endure their annoying teacher to an unimaginable extent. Every action of Gojo-sensei made everyone gasp and scold, but senpai would just helplessly smile and find some reason to make their teacher look better.
Senpai was not without complaints about their teacher, in fact senpai complained about many petty bad things about Gojo but also smiled helplessly. Fushiguro heard what Panda said when he first entered school. Yuta was also surprised and shocked by Gojo-sensei's tendency to not explain clearly and do whatever he wanted. But later, without knowing how hard Yuta practiced 'Gojo Satoru endurance', he began to pamper Gojo-sensei more and more.
Having said so much just to conclude, Okkotsu-senpai has a really scary face right now. Even Nobara might not be as scary as if she were in a similar situation. Fushiguro actually panicked a bit and glanced at Gojo. Sensei didn't seem to refuse easily. But from the beginning, was it just because he didn't want to keep Fushiguro and Yuta waiting that he refused to take photos? Or is there another reason?
“Okay, just one photo.”
The surrounding female students laughed and whispered to each other like "cool", "handsome guy agreed", "so lucky". Gojo raised two fingers to symbolize peace and looked into the camera. 4 or 5 female students surrounded him, some even took advantage of the opportunity to hug Gojo's arm and lean on him.
“Okay, good luck on your exams, bye bye!”
It's strange, it's noon now but Fushiguro's side is freezing cold, he doesn't dare look at his senior next to him, he only knows that the situation is worse than before. Yuta turned around and said to Fushiguro.
“Fushiguro-kun, just go eat with sensei, I have things to do.”
Before Fushiguro could react, a hand reached out and grabbed Yuta's shoulder. The culprit who caused senpai's mood to plummet has returned.
“Yuta, you said you weren't busy earlier~”
When Gojo turned Yuta around, even Fushiguro was startled.
“Uwa, your face is so scary”
Yuta's dark blue eyes were darker than usual. It was clear that he had this murderous intent that could kill several level 2 cursed souls.
“Yes, my face is very scary. Why don't you invite those female students with lovely faces and voices to have lunch with your friends to wish them well on their exams? It would definitely be more fun than inviting someone with a scary face like me.”
Fushiguro gulped, Okkotsu-senpai changed the way he addressed Gojo-sensei. What is this, Fushiguro doesn't quite understand, isn't Okkotsu-senpai the type of person who gets flustered and embarrassed when someone points out he's making a scary face? Senpai is–
“Yuta, are you angry~?”
Correct! senpai was angry, he didn't change his expression at all even though those female students left. Yes, the scene where Gojo-sensei is surrounded by female students is quite unsightly and annoying but there's no way Okkotsu-senpai would be that angry, so why..?
“How could I be angry, sensei, you're thinking too much. Please go find the female student who pressed her chest against your arm and have lunch with her.”
Fushiguro gulped, the situation looked worse and worse but sensei was still joking around, it was so infuriating! Fushiguro really couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore, senpai's anger really sent chills down one's spine.
“Yuta, are you jealous? Wow, Yuta is jealous, so cute”
Gojo smiled happily as he poked Yuta's bulging dumpling cheeks. Senpai didn't hold back and pushed his teacher's hand away from his face.
“I'm having a slumber party tonight with Inumaki-kun, Panda-kun, Itadori-kun and Fushiguro-kun so there's no need to wait for me to get home.”
Slumber party ? What?
'It's dangerous, I teased him too much'
Gojo felt it was time to stop this joke and explain clearly or their affectionate evening would be over.
“Yuta, no one could touch me just now, I was very self-aware and turned on ‘infinitely’, look. Do you want to ask those female students if they felt like they touched me?"
Yuta remained unmoved but his expression softened a bit.
“But you really don't need to wait for me, the slumber party is real, right Fushiguro-kun?”
Fushiguro was speechless, he knew what he had to do with that look from his senpai.
“Ah yes, we are having a slumber party tonight between the 1st and 2nd year male students.”
Gojo looked at Fushiguro as if telling him to dare to side with Yuta. Gojo scratched his head and grabbed Yuta's hand tightly because he would throw it away if Gojo didn't. Okkotsu-senpai's face had become less scary and now only had a stubborn and annoyed look on it.
“Yuta, don't be angry anymore, be good, go home tonight, okay? I have already prepared the ingredients to cook your favorite dish at home and I also need to charge my battery after many days of not having the same day off as you."
Yuta stopped struggling but his eyebrows were still frowned as if he was not completely angry. Gojo bent down to Yuta's eye level and spoke as if comforting a child.
“Okkotsu-san, is there anything else you don't like?”
Yuta finally looked into his sensei's eyes, the hand in Gojo's hand also clenched in response.
“Don't take pictures with them anymore…don't take pictures with people who try to flirt with you…”
Gojo chuckled and patted Yuta's head, this kid was surprisingly jealous.
Fushiguro walked behind them and wondered if he should separate from the beginning, he could have finished lunch a long time ago. This damn special grade sorcerers couple…
...
“What a remarkable story, I wish I was there”
Itadori marveled at the story Fushiguro told, it sounded truly unbelievable!! Fushiguro looked at his friend with disdain, perhaps because he didn't experience it directly so he didn't know how terrible the situation was at that time. If it wasn't that Gojo-sensei was just intentionally joking and comforting Yuta, but Gojo-sensei actually let those girls lean their chests against his arms, Fushiguro didn't know how long that deadly atmosphere would last. It's best not to let people who aren't usually angry get mad. Nobara found something inappropriate and questioned Fushiguro.
“Oi, Fushiguro, how dare you use me as a measure of aggression??”
'Ah, it's been exposed...'
Fushiguro looked away and felt a little apologetic but not much. Nobara squeezed Fushiguro's cheek and tried to pull his face towards her.
“Oi, Fushiguro! Turn around here quickly!!”
“Listening to Satoru about when he visited Yuta in Africa to ask for a favor, Yuta even asked if it was related to women. Yuta-san is really scary, isn't he?”
Panda tells the first years how scary Yuta can be when jealous. Fushiguro had seen it once, but Nobara and Itadori seemed more curious and skeptical.
Maki found these jealousy stories starting to get a bit boring, so she changed the TV channel to an action movie to change the atmosphere. She put 2 potato snacks in her mouth at once and commented before closing this discussion.
“In short, those two guys are equally crazy.”
“Shake!”
Toge, Panda and the first year group also nodded in agreement.
“What a match made in heaven.”
