Their Tale | Gojohime Modern AU

She fixed some of her papers and started typing something on a document before a knock came from her door

Utahime told them to come in before she saw the time, it was 3 pm, meaning it was Gojo

"Utahime~" Utahime heard making her groan "How is work?" He asked before approaching her desk

"It's fine" she said before Gojo picked her flowers up "You were probably smiling and blushing when you saw this right?" He teases Utahime

"What I hate is that I actually smiled to those flowers" Utahime said with a chuckle "Hey, I put my whole being finding the perfect flowers" Gojo said making her laugh

"Your whole self must not be much then, the meaning of those flowers aren't very sweet" Gojo looked confused "It says 'I appreciate you,' at least that's what the flower guy said" Utahime laughed

"It means 'I appreciate you, as a friend' by the way" Utahime said making Gojo face palm himself "I guess the almighty Gojo can make mistakes" Gojo said before flexing his muscles, making Utahime audibly cringe

"Is it weird that you're more attractive now?" Gojo nodded "Yeah it is weird, I'm already perfect, and yet you find me more attractive" He said in a joking tone, but deep down Utahime knew he wasn't joking

"Anyways, there is some important stuff happening next week" Utahime looked at him, intrigued "Don't get mad" Utahime looked at him in disappointment

"Just say it" she said in an annoyed tone "My mom may want to meet you" Utahime's plain look turned to a look of panic

"How?!" She asked Gojo in a confused and concerned tone "It was my fault" Gojo said with a guilty tone

"I told her I was dating someone and she thought I meant I had a girlfriend" Gojo had an apologetic tone

"How do I know your mom isn't going to hate me?! I'm just a normal woman, and your mom is the head of one of the most influential families of Japan!" She said in a concerned and aggravated tone

"It's just a one-time thing, and who cares what she says? What she says won't change anything, Utahime" Utahime sighed and put a hand on her forehead

"Ok, I'm sorry, but I kind of need this" Utahime looked at him in confusion "But I thought your family doesn't matter to you?" She asked in a condescending tone

"This isn't for me... it's for Maki and Yuta" Gojo said, preparing to explain the situation to Utahime

He heard a knock from his door and called them to come in while doing work

He put his head up and saw Maki in an excited face, which intrigued Gojo, he had never seen her in a happy or excited face

"Someone's happy" he said, putting down his paperwork "With good reason" Maki said

"Me and Yuta have been talking already online since last year, but now that he's come back, he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend" Gojo smiled "That's great, finally someone to make you happy" Gojo said before seeing Maki's face dropped

"What's the catch?" Gojo asked in a concerned tone "I don't know if the Zenin or Gojo family will approve" Maki said making Gojo lightly groan

"I don't think the Gojo will care, Zenin family is your real problem, you know how much they like fucking you over" Maki nodded with a frustrated tone

"I can try to negotiate with them, but I doubt the Gojo will let me talk with the Zenin head" He said before his eyes lit up

"So you need them to trust you, and working towards that is you showing me as your girlfriend?" Gojo nodded "See, I am a very compassionate person" Gojo said with a proud smile

"Ok, I'll do it, but answer this" Gojo nodded "How high up are you in the Gojo heirarchy?" Utahime asked, trying to figure out more things about Gojo

"This will surprise you, but on top" Utahime looked at him in confusion and awe "How? You're a salesman and they're all rich businesspeople? And if you're the top, why do you need approval from the Gojo family?" Utahime asked some valid questions

"Firstly, I'm not just a salesman, I'm the highest shareholder for many top companies in Japan. Secondly, I'm the highest in terms of power in the Gojo family, but they wouldn't let me destroy the family with talking to the Zenin head" Gojo explained, making Utahime nod

"Rich people are weird" Gojo nodded "That's the first time you thought that? Rich people are all lizards and robots" Utahime chuckled

"So you're a lizard or robot?" Gojo nodded making Utahime laugh

"Ok, I'll do it, but it's for Maki, and I'm still slightly upset at you" Gojo nodded and kissed her at the cheek "I can't say love you yet so... I appreciate you" he said, pointing at the flowers, making Utahime chuckle
