Scarlet Eyes (Gojo Satoru x OC)

❀ XIII. sick days

I decided to give you guys a short break with a tooth rotting oneshot fluff and angst if you squint, in an attempt to prolong this. But I've also put a little bit of a timeskip so they're in their second year to go with Gojo's past arc plot. Don't be afraid of giving your thoughts or giving me ideas for oneshots that'll be relevant to the story. Obviously our main character's relationship has matured a lot more from the last chapter. 

Kumori sat beneath the tree she had sat under for the last year and a half. She turned the page to her new book while Shoko sat beside her. Getou had come out first and was chatting with them, more so Shoko since Kumori was a bit busy with her book. 

The book for today was on memories, and the power they hold in the Jujutsu World. She thought back to her own memories of this past year, the friends she's made, the turning points in her life, the growth she had claimed as her own, and the person who had tried to kill her. 

The clues and the information they had extracted from her attackers that day proved not very fruitful, but as she tried to search on it was to no avail. 

This was her fourth month giving up on her search. 

But Kumori also knew that her mind deserved to be at peace and so she went on with her life. She only grew closer with her friends, even growing to call them by their first names. She still cringed thinking about the day Gojo and her told Getou and Shoko about their engagement. 

"So are you guys like a thing...?"

"Zenin you and Gojo better not be eloping or something. God knows what would happen if a war broke out between the clans."

The two were bombarded with those types of questions the very next morning after learning about Kumori's recovery. 

"E-elope? Gojo-san really is my fiancé," Kumori said, embarrassed that her friend could even come up with that accusation. She did have to say Shoko's reaction was pretty funny. 

Shoko had her mouth open in shock. "Engaged? You're–?" She looked between the two in disbelief. They only hesitantly nodded. "Holy fuck. You're actually engaged. And without telling us, too. You wound me Zenin I thought we were friends."

"I'm sorry for not telling. It's just that we're only 15 and for news like that to be out into the world is embarrassing," Kumori apologized sheepishly. 

"So how far have you guys gone? Had your first hand hold yet? Hug? Oh wait yeah you did, in a fucking hospital bed. Then your first kiss? Have you fucked? I've been hearing a few voices coming from Zenin's room lately, I guess that would explain," Shoko was getting a kick out of this. 

"NO!" Kumori waved her hands in embarrassment. Gojo had his face in his hands as Getou patted his back in sympathy. Kumori knew she deserved what she was getting from Shoko but still. T-T. "We don't even love each other yet. Hugged and held hands, that's it," Kumori hung her head low. 

"I was just teasing," Shoko laughed sweetly. Then she leaned in close to Kumori's ear. "Remember to use protection though."

"SHOKO!"

Ahhh what a hectic first year. Kumori smiled at her memory with her friends. But when she looked up there was someone missing. Gojo was almost always here first, and appears after Getou arrives, and is always before Shoko since she gets up the latest. And it wasn't really hard to pry him from the bed since he was excited to get on with his day. 

After a few more minutes she got up. "I'm gonna find Satoru. You two get breakfast without me." Today was a weekend so no training. They were gonna hang out today but Gojo wasn't there. 

Kumori went into the shadows and used surveyor to get an idea of where he was. She could see a bit of his shadow near the dormitories so she headed there first.
