A fragrant smell, a sizzling sound. It was something that Geto had become used to staying at the Gojo house. It should be since he was visiting the house for almost three years. Despite the prowess that Karia had shown to his student and co-workers, Geto had observed that the man had some weird preferences.
Namely, manually doing mediocre tasks, like cleaning the dishes or cooking. Geto had seen Karia use telekinesis, the man was powerful enough to even move huge boulders with a lift of a finger, and yet it was always weird to see Karia doing chores like a normal person. At first, he thought that the man was lazy as Karia had proclaimed he was back at his introduction as a teacher, but Geto had seen how Karia spent his day.
Karia was indeed lazy if seen in one glance, but Geto had seen and felt Karia's eyes. The man was observing everything. And when a certain time drops, Karia would stick to his schedule.
Seven in the morning was breakfast. Then he would relax after he was done with cleaning up. The moment eleven starts Karia would cook up and eat lunch. Once seven drops, that was when Karia would once again stand up from his couch and cook up dinner. Of course he also makes his and Gojo's share.
The man also had some way with words. Like when Geto wants to ask what would happen to Karia's prediction two years ago, the reply he always received was an emotionless smile and words like a riddle. His curiousity wasn't once sated so he had continued to stay close to the man.
"Geh, as expected, you're here again." A drowsy Gojo had arrived at the dining room. It was Gojo's usual reaction but everyday was a different vocabulary. Though sometimes, Gojo would just continuously stare at him in vigilance. Geto didn't know why Gojo was so worried that Karia might be stolen from him. Geto didn't have that kind of emotion towards the man. He agrees that Karia was good-looking than most people, it was on the same level as Gojo. They were the kind of people who had the appearance that would surely turn heads even if they would wear the plainest of clothes. He just felt this weird closeness to Karia, and sometimes feels worries about Karia even though he knows that the man was stronger than him. It was a weird hunch in the back of his head.
Karia placed the several dishes of food at the table.
"No bickering allowed. Eat up a lot." Karia said whilst untying the apron.
The one thing that had annoyed Karia currently was that he couldn't figure out where Kenjaku was currently hiding. It was no exaggeration when he was dubbed one of the strongest infamous sorcerers that is still alive to this day. It was past the time when Noritoshi Kamo lived, the corpse was said to be already buried, so Karia currently had no clues on where the brain bastard was currently at. There had also been a few spikes of cursed energy here and there, and that itself says that there is something moving in the shadows.
"Wellー" Karia's words stopped when Gojo suddenly hugged him, and by the looks of it, the boy wouldn't let go of him any sooner.
"Do your best." Karia mostly pointed his last words towards Geto. With a small smile, he gestured for Gojo to let him go.
"Eh~ You're leaving again." Gojo complained as he felt Karia's cursed energy start to move. The feeling of it dissipating and going somewhere else had indicated that Karia was going to teleport to another location. The usual complaints and the bratty actions of Gojo was something that Geto can't be used to. Most people, like him, would be annoyed at the sight of the clingy Gojo, but as usual, he saw Karia's face as he stared at Gojo. As if wanting to spoil the other, that was what Geto could conclude.
"Be good." with a few words and a pat on the head, Gojo stopped, being silenced easily. That itself was quite pathetic in Geto's eyes, but well, a pat on the head from Karia does seem nice.
