You close your textbook as your college professor dismissed the class. It's a Friday afternoon; and while everyone rejoices over the long awaited weekend you—instead—head onto your next task. Tutoring; that's right. You are a math tutor for a high school boy by the name of Itadori Yuji. You inadvertently stumbled upon a listing about a year ago; one which was tacked on a bulletin board somewhere on campus. This boys grandfather noticed that he seemed to be struggling in mathematics and was desperate to find help; and you, you were desperate for money.

As you make your way out of the classroom, your hand fishes for the vibrating phone in your bag. The device had been buzzing violently for the past 30 minutes or longer. You scoff when you see the new nickname your boyfriend had given himself last week; when he seemingly got ahold of your phone without your knowledge.

Incoming Call
Gojo Satoru (五条悟)
"Hansamu"

"Yes?" Your voice is thick with annoyance.

"Is that anyway to greet your future husband? And why haven't you answered any of my calls?"

"You know I was in class, Satoru! How many times do I need to remind you? Look, I don't have a lot of time to talk. I'm running late. What do you need?"

"I thought you said we were going to meet up for a dessert date?"

You click your tongue. Grumbling is the last thing you'd rather do, but your boyfriend has the memory of a goldfish and you grow tired of it; the constant reminders never seem to end.

"Did you forget again?! I said I would meet you afterwards!"

"Oh. Right. I think you did say something like that...............What's that kids name again?"

"Oh my god..." You pause and then you speak again "Satoru! His name is Yuji! Itadori Yuji! How do you keep forgetting?! I've been tutoring him for an entire year already!"

"Someone's grumpy.~" he coos, "Don't worry I miss you too.~"

Gojo Satoru; the man you've been dating for the past ten years. The two of you had known each other since childhood. He was a man who came from a long lineage of wealth. His family was not fond of you and also disapproved—and still probably does—the relationship. They felt he should be more suited with someone of the same status; someone from the upper class. However, Gojo Satoru was—and still is—never one to obey any of his families orders. He never once heeded their warnings. He knew he could get away with anything he desired. After all, he is the first in years to be born with a gifted mind. It is something that his family strongly values to keep their business running. The Gojo ménage were at the top of the food chain; and with Satoru's exemplary skills, he's able to keep it that way. And so, his family needs to keep him happy you see; because without him the business would likely fall apart.

Gojo Satoru was a good looking boy throughout his years and still is very handsome to most. Back in his younger days, he had any girl swooning over him at "Hello"; but he never did care for any of those other girls, because he always had his eyes on you. You were his childhood sweetheart. It wasn't until the two of you graduated high school that he decided to make your relationship official. A lot of girls envied you and couldn't quite understand how he could date someone like you knowing he, very well, could likely have any girl he wanted. It wasn't about looks to him though. It's about loyalty; and whether it was his looks or his money, Satoru's incredible intuition always reminded him that all of those other girls only wanted nothing more than to use him.
