Work Text:
Sunday mornings were cherished.
It was one of the few times you actually could spend with Gojo before he would dip out on missions or prepare material for his classes for the week.
It was a time where you and Gojo would try to go out and have mini dates, catching up on exciting and boring things that you missed out from each other's lives.
When you suggested going down to the bakery for some pastries and coffee, Gojo happily obliged and grabbed your shoes and purse to hurry you out the door.
Once at the bakery, you two stood in line waiting patiently and keeping each other entertained. Your eyes scanned across to look over the decor on the walls, the people sitting in the small tables with their coffee chatting and then finally the people in line ahead of you. Everyone was in their own little world but one stranger stood out. He was alone, keeping himself busy on his phone and had an earbud in while he waited.
Gojo saw your eyes looking over at the man a couple feet in front from where you were standing in line. “What’re we looking at?” He whispered.
“I don’t know,” you whispered back, “That guy there. He just looks so familiar, but I can’t remember where I've seen him? Maybe one of the movies you forced me to watch? Or like maybe I’ve seen him in a commercial?”
His eyes looked over at the stranger. Nothing too unique about him. He was averagely tall, short dark hair and dark eyes. He had an average build. Nothing about him screamed celebrity. “Want me to ask what he’s been in?”
“No! Don’t ask, that’s embarrassing! What if he’s not someone we actually know?” You pleaded quietly, trying to hold him in place by his arm but Gojo easily slipped out of your grasp.
“Oh come on, what’s the harm?”
Gojo walked up to the stranger and tapped his shoulder. “Excuse me, sorry to bother, but my girl and I have been watching you trying to remember where we’ve seen you from.” He gave a friendly smile, “Are you an actor?”
The stranger's eyes looked confused for a moment but then lightened up at the mention of familiarity. “You and your girlfriend have seen me before?” His eyes trail back to where you were standing in line. “Is that her?”
Gojo nodded and smiled, “Yeah, she’s kinda shy but she spotted you first. We’re trying to list all the things we’ve seen you in but damn, we’re drawing a blank. Would you mind helping us out?”
The line shifted up, Gojo followed the man along as if they were already friends. “Well… I don’t normally like announcing my ‘acting roles’ but…” the man trailed off quietly and looked back at you with a smirk and then back at Gojo and spoke in a whisper that only he could hear. “you know… My most popular work was ‘Masseuse Shows Tourist Hidden Gems’ or my most viewed video ‘When Mom and Dad Are Out of Town, The Kids Come Out to Play’.” The man smiles proudly at Gojo.
Gojo is left in shock but tries to control his face and plays along. “Oh yeah! No shit, my absolute favorites! Well then, thanks for the reminder!” He tries to slink back to you, questions running through his head. As he was about to walk off, the man called him back. “Would you two like a photo?”
Gojo thinks it over and laughs. “You know what, yeah, we would LOVE that.” He waves you over, ignoring the faces of the people behind him in line “Hey honey, come here for a photo!”
You shyly come over still trying to remember where the man was from but figured Gojo got the answer. You politely nod and reach out to shake the stranger’s hand. “I’m so sorry to bother–”
The man waves it off and shakes your hand “No worries! It’s refreshing to meet a couple that’s a fan of my work! You two must have a really comfortable and trusting relationship.” Your face wavers for a moment. Why would he say that? Gojo pulls up his phone to take a selfie of you three, ducking lightly to fit into frame. He wraps an arm around the man’s shoulder and the actor wraps an arm around you. You smile cutely at the camera and Gojo snaps a photo. You two thank the man and it’s the man’s turn to place an order, leaving you two behind.
“So… Who was that?” You asked, excited to find out where you had seen him from.
“Well…” Gojo raises a brow and smirks at you. “First of all, I’m gonna have to ask you a couple of questions. One: What are you doing in your spare time when I’m not around? And two: You’re actually into that kinda corny roleplay?”
Your face pales as you realize what he means and where you had seen that man. “Satoru–”
“Shh shh, it’s okay” He smiles almost menacingly, pulling up his phone and tapping away at the screen. “When we get home, I wanna see what little tabs are keeping you busy while I’m away, okay?”
Your face is burning with absolute embarrassment and you feel your phone buzz from a text from Gojo. It’s the photo of you three and a winky emoji and eggplant.
“I can’t help the next person in line!”
