A few days later after the incident, Gojo was found unconscious at the scene with one fatal wound and a few minor cuts. He's was taken straight to the hospital and has been in a coma for 2 weeks.

You visited him every single day in hopes that he'd wake up, but no luck. Sometimes you'd sleep there overnight after visiting hours without any one knowing, other times you'd spent hours upon hours grieving alone. You got frequent calls from Fujita but refused to pick the calls.

You groggily woke up and got ready for the day which only consisted of visiting your mother's grave, visiting Gojo then going to school. You quickly put on your uniform and went to the hospital.

You arrived with the same blank face you've had for the past 2 weeks.

"Here again y/n?", one of the nurses asked.

You gave a small nod and went to Gojo's room. You sat down on the chair next to his bed.

"You're gonna wake up right? It's just a gentle sleep that helping you recover body...right?", you stared up at the ceiling, in all truthfulness you weren't sure if he'd ever wake up.

You turned your head to Gojo and pushed the chair closer to his bed, "if you wake up", you started as you held his hand in between your own two hands, "i promise i'll take your feelings more seriously", you tightened your grip on his hand waiting for a response, any at all, but none ever came.

You then placed your head against his held hand with your elbows on the bed, "please", your voice, just above a whisper. "I can't take much more of this emotional abuse", you cried.

You took a deep breath and rested back in your seat.

"Remember the deal we made? I get whatever my heart desires for winning the bet?", you smiled a small bit.

"I wanna be with you Gojo", you stood up from your seat and ran your fingers through his icy locks.

"So please wake up, for me", you pursed your lips together and squeezed your eyes shut to avoid tears spilling.

You placed a kiss on his forehead, grabbed your things and went to school.

——————

You rested your elbow on the table and placed your cheek against your hand as your teacher started to talk.

Sometimes you wondered if you'd truly made the right choices. If you'd done something differently or said those few words maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this. Why? Why was it always you?

Before you knew it, the bell rang which meant you could finally leave that dreadful place. You put your books back into your bag and left the school.

The gloomy clouds only worsened your mood, leaving no room for the sun to shine. You look up at the clouds with a face of sorrow and despair and suddenly you felt yourself bump into someone.

"Oh sorr—", you look up to see Fujita standing in front of you with a shocked expression on his face.

Once you realised it was him, you discarded your apology and walked away. He grabbed your wrist before you could do so, "At least listen to what I have to say y/n", he pleaded.

"Not this bullshit again", you forced your wrist out of his hand, "nothing good will come of me listening to anything you have to say", you looked at him over your shoulder and then proceeded to head home.

"Just give me five minutes that's all I ask", he said as he tried to keep up with you.

"I said i'm not interested", you picked up your pace.

"Please", he placed his hand on your shoulder as you stopped walking. You hastily grabbed his hand off your shoulder and pulled on his collar with the other.

"I would kill you right now- and you of all people should know I'm definitely not bluffing- if it weren't for the fact that Gojo wouldn't be very happy with me if I did so. Aren't you satisfied with the pain you've caused me? Or is it still not enough for you", you aggressively let go of his collar and continued walking.

"I'm begging you, just five minutes and you won't have to see my face ever again", he promised.

You complied with his request purely out of annoyance and frustration. "10 seconds gone".

"I'm deeply sorry y/n and it wasn't my intention to hurt you in any way. I interfered when I clearly had no place in the matter which led to people getting hurt as a result of my lack of morality", he confessed with a face of sincerity and forgiveness.

"3 minutes".

"I acted out of jealousy and spite when I knew i was clearly in the wrong. I realise now that it was childish of me to do that and I don't expect you to forgive me but I just wanted you to know i'm sorry". He was truly sorry and you knew that but you weren't gonna forgive him that easily when he put the one you loved in danger.

You let out a sigh, "i know you're sorry but unfortunately there's just no way i can forgive you that easily. You don't understand the heartache i'm feeling right now and by each passing second it's just getting worse and worse.  It's best if we just stay out of each other's lives for now.", you faced away from him.

"Maybe in the near future we'll cross paths again, but until that day comes we'll both continue to grow and atone for our sins. I guess you could say this is an informal way of saying i'm leaving the mafia.", you finished as you walked on.

"I'm glad. I'm glad you were able to make your own choices y/n", he sighed to himself.

You finally reached Gojo's place and waited for the sun to set so you could sneak into Gojo's hospital room again.

Timeskip

You entered his room through the window and crept into his bed. You hugged his chest tightly and began to whisper words to him not even taking into consideration whether he could here your words or not.

"You will wake up. I know you will, after all you still have a promise to keep don't you", you felt your eyes close as a smile of warmth and hope crept onto your lips.
