Strictly Professional (gojo x reader)

Chapter 6

Summary: 

This little game between you and Gojo hasn't stopped and some of your co-workers around you are starting to notice.

Author's Note:

Hello once again! I've been thinking for a bit on whether or not to list songs that go with certain scenes. Listening to music is always really helpful and important as I write, and it helps me visualize the scene, so if you guys want I could start doing that or post a link to the Spotify playlist with a bunch of songs that I use. Thx for reading once again, and commenting and votes are helpful feedback and are greatly appreciated! Enjoy!

Autumn had fully arrived, and the game between you and Gojo had not slowed down at all. Leaving notes on each other's desk, catching the other off guard, and whispering lewd things in their ear only escalated. Some days, it was more of playing around the sexual tension, and on other days, there was just light banter between the two of you. Typically, you called Gojo irritating as he remained convinced that you were in denial of your affections for him.

Both of your assistants, Maki and Megumi, had become a little involved in the game. Giving the other warnings and clues on how to surprise the other. One day while organizing files, Maki brought up an interesting observation, "[Y/n], you know I think that whatever is going on between you and Gojo is making work more enjoyable for you." Not expecting Maki of all people to say something like that, you furrow your brows, "What do you mean? I have been able to get my work done the same as before—"

Chuckling, Maki replies, "No, not your work ethic [Y/n], everyone calls you the Machine because we all know how efficient you are at getting work done. But, actual, fun—enjoyment, I think Gojo has made the office a little more fun for you."

Crossing your arms and rolling your eyes, you scoff, "If anything, he's given me more stress with his ridiculous behavior." Maki laughs, "Touche, but are you going with him to the Halloween gala? His fangirls and other ladies in the office have already begun discussing this."

Halloween gala? That's three weeks away. I'm just going because it looks bad if an executive doesn't show and also the food. Why are people stressing about taking people? Is this a high school dance? Turning to another stack of files to organize, you answer, "Hmmm, I hadn't even thought of taking anyone, and I don't know if I want to stress myself about that." Also, voluntarily signing myself up to be stuck with an imbecile an entire night sounds like hell. Why would I ever—

Breaking your thoughts, Maki continues, "Just wanted to bring it up to you because they were also talking about Utahime as someone who may go with him. In fact, [Y/n] I'll tell you now because I care, but Gojo has been quite the womanizer in the past. I mean, he's slowed down in the last year or two, but I'd be careful if I were you, [Y/n]."

You give Maki a small smile saying, "Thank you, Maki, but rest assured that I don't plan to pursue that man in any way." Nodding, you both continued through stacks on your desk to organize files.

A week later, you and your closest friend and coworker, Shoko, go out to lunch at a nearby bakery. Walking past the store window about to enter, you groan, "Ohh no, Shoko, maybe we should go somewhere else. I'm actually kind of craving something savory instead of sweet."

Shoko's expression turns suspicious, asking, "Why? We walked all this way, and the bakery has some sandwiches if you want something savory." You tug on her hand, trying to pull her away from the entrance and windows when you hear the voice of the person you were desperately trying to avoid.
