~ Spices & Compliments ~

3rd person POV:

Currently lounging in his spacious office,

Gojo Satoru let out a sigh of content he was leaning back in his desk chair, after a tiring day of exorcising grade 2 curses. Well to be honest... it was mainly Megumi who was exorcising the curses as training whilst Gojo "shadowed" the teen.

Greedily eyeing up the white box on his desk which contained four Daifuku-mochi's, the sweets being on his mind all day since he left the school grounds, he impatiently unfolded the lid whilst his mouth watered at the sight before him.

Picking up one off-white, slightly powdery sweet, his eyes gleamed with enthusiasm behind his blindfold. The corners of his lips quipped up slightly as he thought to himself,
The bakery has outdone themselves again. Im definitely going to treat the first years and....maybe Aiko too if she behaves herself.

Placing the delectable sweet between his teeth he chewed down on the succulent tender mochi, just as his tastebuds hit the centre of the sweet where the usual red bean paste filling would be, his face contorted into one of mass disgust.

Spitting out the remnants of the mashed up mochi mixed with saliva across his desk in haste, his eyes instantaneously filled up with tears as they watered. His throat and tastebuds were aflame from the fiery filling.

The burning sensation caused Gojo to pant heavily as he tried to let some cool air into his mouth, saliva dripped from his agape lips whilst he hurried over to the mini fridge in the corner of his office.

Face sweating excessively from the heat rising through his body, he clutched onto the water bottle gulping it down whilst the plastic got crushed under his desperate grasp.

Placing the bottle back down, he made his way back to the desk, the heat on his tastebuds lessened by the thirst-quenching water, he let out a sigh of relief as he leaned against his desk with his palms placed on the edge.

Leaning his bead back towards ceiling, a menacing smile crossing his lips, his Adams apple dared to peek through his skin. Meanwhile a low growl reverberated at the back of his throat as he chuckled,
"So naive......looks like Im going to have to teach you a thing or two Aiko."

Walking along side Toge on their way back to the dorms since it was now nightfall.

Aiko felt a sinister chill run down her spine, her face twisting in apparent discomfort from the sensation. Putting her hands in the pockets of her jacket whilst the chilled summer night breeze nipped at her uncovered legs.

Awkward tension filled the air from the previous sparring session, Aiko's hooded eyes glanced towards Toge every five seconds whilst she chewed  the inside of her cheek. 

Aiko's voice got stuck in her throat when she tried to spark up a conversation towards the teen who seemed to be in his own little world, the soft night's breeze causing his platinum bangs to flutter slightly as he continued on.

Toge noticing the girls apparent discomfort as he took a small glimpse of her form from the corner of his eye, he suddenly stopped in his tracks outside the second year dorm rooms, as he swivelled round to face Aiko, with concern in his voice he said, "Takana?" (You ok)

"Yeah I am I'm just....tired, from sparring, that's all" Aiko hurried out.

Toge knew something was going on inside that mind of her's, his eyes briefly flashed with regret when they glanced towards Aiko's slightly swollen mouth. His posture slumped slightly, his lips were in slight frown when he whispered, "Im....sorry"

Eyes widening in shock, Aiko instantly took hold of  Toge's delicate smooth hand as she reassured the teen "Don't say sorry please, you did NOTHING wrong, never apologise for something thats not your fault."

With his free hand he caressed the small, now bruised wound, on the corner of Aiko's lip with a desperate tone to his voice he pressed on further "Okaka" (To disagree)

"Toge listen, we both got a bit heated this time, BOTH of us, I punched you in the face too remember?......so if your apologising then so should I"  she chuckled with a delicate eyebrow raised to lift the overly caring boy's spirits.

Toge finally gave into Aiko and returned the smile.

Her face brightened as she exclaimed "Seee that's the adorable smile I've come too love!" 

Toge's face flushed a dusty rose pink from the compliment, his mind repeated  the same four words in his head, She called me adorable..

Before departing to her dorm room she caressed Toge's markings on his face, with a delicate soft tone to her voice she said, "You should show your snake and fangs curse mark more..It makes you look even more handsome than you already are Toge, never let anyone tell you different."

Face flushing crimson from Aiko's words, his heart fluttered like a humming bird. Right in that moment he had the urge to just pull the girl into an embrace and never let her go.

Because that was the first and only time even when he was a child that he ever got a compliment about the curse mark he was so insecure about.

The two teens both realised that they were stood with one hand caressing each other's face and pulled apart briskly, an awkward tension filled the air once again. Muttering out a small sorry simultaneously, they both averted their eyes to anything that would distract them both.

Aiko started towards the door, with her hand upon the wooden entrance, she smiled once more at the cursed speech user and whispered "Goodnight Toge."

He returned the smile whilst Aiko walked into her bedroom with the door shutting closed behind her.

Toge opened his door that was situated next to Aiko's. Before entering his own dorm room, he took a quick glance towards the spot Aiko once occupied.

He gently touched his curse mark, his lips were also upturned in a small smile, Toge then whispered under his breath,

"Goodnight....Sunflower"
