Chapter 15

Ut incepit fidelis sic permanent
[As loyal as she began so she remains]

Gojo didn't call Ijichi to pick us up nor reschedule with Masamichi, but I shouldn't have expected otherwise. We started walking along the highway back towards the house we were staying in. It was late enough at night for the road to be clear, allowing us to walk side by side without fear of being hit.

I was walking in between the two men, our hands constantly brushing against each other with how close together we were. After what happened between us earlier, the soft touches were making me want more. Not sex, but not exactly platonic attenion either. The next time Gojo's hand touched mine, he moved so slowly it had to have been on purpose. I gave into my urges and wrapped my hand around his, intertwining our fingers. As soon as my hand closed around Gojo's, Yuji grabbed my other hand so that our fingers were interlaced.

"You're very affectionate, aren't you?" Gojo's sudden question made me loosen my grip on his hand, but he held mine tighter so I couldn't let go.

He was right, but that didn't mean I wanted it to be so obvious. Before I could respond to his question, Gojo stopped walking which forced Yuji and I to stop as well. Without letting go of my hand, Gojo moved so he was standing directly in front of me and gently cupped the side of my face.

He leaned down until his lips pressed against mine. I eagerly kissed him back, leaning into him in an effort to get closer. Our lips moved together effortlessly and tongues tentatively met without entering the other's mouth. He tasted of mint and smelled like smoke from the fight.

Gojo broke the kiss with a smirk. "I like it."

When Gojo let go of me, Yuji pulled me into him and placed a hand on my waist. He must not have liked being left out being the second our chests were nearly touching, his lips were on mine. Yuji's kiss wasn't hesitant like I had expected. Rather, it was rougher and more demanding than Gojo's.

I grabbed his shoulder with my free hand while he moved his hand to my back and pulled me into him. Yuji let go of my hand to wrap his arm around me. I held him back with one hand on his shoulder and the other on his waist. His lips were soft against mine and he tasted of orange soda.

While Yuji and I kissed, Gojo pressed himself against my back. The taller, older man left kisses and soft bites along my neck. I was trapped between them so tightly I could feel each of their growing erections. I moaned into Yuji's mouth as they ground their bodies into mine.

'Are you thinking of me, little temptress?' Sukuna's incessant teasing started up again just as Yuji broke the kiss with a warm smile.

I was focused on the two men pressed against me until the curse's voice appeared in my mind. Now that I had been put into a lust filled haze, I couldn't get my night with Sukuna out of my head. Gojo and Yuji were amazing, they were what I should want in a man, but Sukuna embodied what I craved. He was danger, sex, and violence personified.

"We should get going." My voice was breathless as I gazed into Yuji's hazel eyes.

"We should." Gojo's voice was deep and filled with lust.

We reluctantly separated ourselves from each other and started walking again. Yuji held my hand while Gojo wrapped his arm around my neck. Like normal, the walk was not quiet. I was sure that if it was just Yuji and I we could have walked in silence, but that seemed impossible for Gojo Satoru. The man couldn't go five minutes without saying something.

'You didn't answer my question, woman.' Sukuna sounded genuinely annoyed that I had ignored him.

'I wasn't thinking about you.' Using past tense was probably a mistake.

'But you are now, aren't you?' Definitely a mistake. Lesson learned, don't let the cocky king of curses believe you think about him even if it's true.

'Does it matter that much to you?' Compared to how our conversations went at first, there was practically no hostility now. I should still be fuming and incredibly rude, but I wasn't. He tried to kill me, didn't apologize for it, and got pissy when I was angry with him, yet I wasn't cussing him out.

'The sorcerer found out about us, didn't he?' The smirk in Sukuna's tone was obvious. I had a growing suspicion he was an exhibitionist, probably a voyeur as well.

'There's no us.' I hoped my emotions didn't slip into the statement. I didn't want him to think I was saddened by it when really I was upset I didn't have anyone I could rely on besides myself.

'Isn't there?' Sukuna's teasing tone was gone, rather he sounded curious and disappointed.

'Even if you could, you wouldn't treat me how a lover should. You'd do what you want while trying to control me. All we have is sex and fights. That's not enough for there to be an us.'

"Hello! Earth to Callie!" Gojo's loud voice snapped me back to reality.

"Huh? Sorry, what'd you say?" I looked up to see that we were standing in front of the pickup counter at a ramen place.

"Do you know what you want?" Gojo's tone made it clear that he had been trying to get my attention for some time now.

"I'll just get the miso." I went to get my debit card out of my wallet, but Gojo placed his hand on my wrist to stop me. "Gojo, I can afford it. Let me pay for once."

"I know you can." He somehow managed to slip his card out faster than I could get out of his grasp.

He was always pulling shit like this. I knew he was well off, but it annoyed me I wasn't being allowed to help out despite affording to. I kept my mouth shut and didn't say anything about it. Gojo wouldn't budge on it and I didn't want to start a fight. He's turned down my offer to pay so many times, I wouldn't stop trying, but I wouldn't make a fuss about it either. The two of us debating who would pay has almost become a habit by now.

Thankfully, it didn't take long for our food to come out. The restaurant we went to was closing soon so they were empty apart from the three of us. We all carried our takeout containers as we walked back to the house. I was glad they kept the broth and solids separate. You don't want your food to be soggy by the time you get home.

The walk back to the house didn't take as long as I was expecting. However, there was the possibility I had been zoned out talking to Sukuna long enough it felt like it trimmed the length of the walk down. When we finally got back to the house, we all sat down at the table. Dinner was a quiet, relatively solemn affair. We were all exhausted from the day, the fight, and the lust from earlier had faded until it was nonexistent.

After we ate and washed our dishes, we went upstairs to get ready for bed. I was sure there were multiple bedrooms in the house, but Gojo only showed us the one from earlier. The three of us changed and brushed our teeth together, but we showered separately. It took us longer than normal to get ready for bed, but that was to be expected with how tired we all were.

Once we were all ready, we climbed into the king sized bed together with me in the middle. It was warm being surrounded by two men, but it was comfortable. I was looking forward to finally getting a good night's rest until I woke up in a familiar shallow pool of blood.
