"wow, i didn't think this was how we would meet again", kuroo grinned, slightly hissing at the pain in his arm as he used the other to hug her back tightly.

"oh shit sorry", she gave him a small smile as she pulled away and examined his wound, "that needs to be treated. can you walk?"

he nodded and she slowly helped him up, ignoring gojo's piercing glare.

"let him look"

the sorcerer with them, who had introduced herself to gojo as ueno mio, tugged at his sleeve.

"what is it?", he asked

"i need to take a picture with you or my boyfriend won't believe i met you", she took her phone out and held it up as gojo made a peace sign with his signature smile.

"so when you said you killed curses, you were being serious?", kuroo asked, "damn"

"wow", she laughed, "i was hoping you'd forgotten about that"

"couldn't forget about you", he muttered under his breath

gojo cleared his throat.

"gojo satoru. kuroo tetsurou", she introduced them to each other

"kuroo as in cute doggo?", gojo asked and kuroo looked at her with a question mark on his head

"what doggo?"

the grade 2 sorcerer walked out from behind gojo and she gasped. she was shorter than y/n and about 20 years old, with pretty eyes.

"y/n this is m-"

"mio-chan?!"

"Y/N SENPAI?!"

"i'm so confused", kuroo stated

"you and me both, buddy", gojo nodded

"i met her when i was travelling", y/n wrapped her arms around the shorter girl's shoulders, "what are you doing in tokyo?!"

"i was just visiting", she replied, "y/n senpai you know gojo satoru?!"

"know him? lol"

"are you a big deal or something?", kuroo asked

"oh i absolutely am", gojo replied monotonously, "how do you know y/n?"

"we..... met in miyagi like a few years ago", he shrugged, subtly hinting that it was more than just meeting. which it was.

"senpai is it just me or do they sound the same?", mio asked

"tell me about it", she sighed, "anyway satoru heal kuroo"

"what does she mean by 'heal'?", kuroo asked, yelping as gojo grabbed his arm and began the cursed technique reversal. it wasn't as efficient as shoko's but it was enough to treat the wound.

y/n shot gojo a warning glare as if to say 'you hurt him i hurt you'.

"what dog were you talking about?", kuroo asked

"she has a dog named kuro", he replied, "well not really a dog it's like a curse- you know what, never mind, yeah a dog"

"who the hell is this guy to her?"

"damn y/n", kuroo looked at her, "and here i thought you'd forgotten all about me"

gojo had gone his whole life without being jealous of anyone. and that wasn't going to change. or so he told himself as he saw y/n slightly blush at kuroo's statement.

"come on, i'll take you home", y/n told him after satoru was done.

"you sure?"

"you can't very well drive home on your own, can you?", she asked, "where are your car keys?"

he used his free hand to reach into his pocket and give them to her.

"satoru, can you drop mio-chan off to wherever she's staying", she requested

"come on", satoru sighed

"oh wait, satoru", kuroo suddenly recalled, "you're-"

"shhhh", y/n dragged him out of the room before he could say anything.

the four of them went down into the parking lot. gojo's ego was boosted when he saw kuroo's car which, although expensive, was no tesla.

"so you're rich rich huh kuroo", she raised an eyebrow. gojo rolled his eyes.

"i can't believe i'm sitting in gojo satoru's tesla", mio looked at the car in awe, "wait can't you teleport or is that a myth?"

"i bought a tesla", he thought for a few moments, "because i can. anyway, let's go kiddo"

two cars left to go in different directions.

in kuroo's car

"so you're living in tokyo now?"

"yessir", she replied, focusing on the road

"and satoru?", he hesitantly enquired

"what about him?"

"are you guys?..."

"no we aren't"

kuroo sighed at this, looking at her and then back ahead.

"he's clearly in love with you"

in gojo's car

gojo had just dropped off the girl that had talked his ear off, asking about his abilities and likes and dislikes. in any conversation, he was usually the more talkative one.

but the only thing on his mind seemed to be that look on y/n's face when she was talking to kuroo. it was relaxed, comfortable, lighthearted.

such a contrast to two hours ago when she was crying on his couch.

gojo thought more and more about it as he stepped back into his apartment, looking at her jacket that she had left behind and the unfinished ice cream in the freezer.

he was not going to let some godforsaken non sorcerer, who he could literally kill just by lifting a finger- who the fuck did he think he was.

"should i kil- no that would be too extreme.... unless?...."

at kuroo's apartment

"tetsurou", y/n gasped as he took off his blood stained shirt so he was only wearing the grey sweatpants he had changed into.

she had headed upstairs with him to see if he needed help with anything and just happened to walk in on him changing.

he was nearly as tall as satoru, and god, was he ripped.

"y/n you're staring"

"oh- i'm sorry"

"nah i don't mind", he winked

"and here i thought you were nice", she teased

"i'm not that nice"
