Gojo x Reader - The Strongest

Chapter 6

They're in a debrief meeting and Gojo is sitting against the wall one leg outstretched the other supporting his arm. (y/n) sits next to him both her knees up to her chest as she tries to process the information. Her head is on her knees and Gojo slowly slides his hand on her back as the casualties are mentioned.

He raises his head in frustration, "Tsk," he glances over to find (y/n) tightening her arms around her legs.

After a while more of talking about the person they're questioning they all sit in silence. Except for (y/n) who has all their thoughts racing in her mind, are they worried about Sukuna's Fingers enhancing Yuji's potential? Or are they trying to enhance themselves? He looks up, something isn't sitting right. He looks over at (y/n) to see why she hasn't said anything and he notices her hands on her head, her body is slightly trembling when he touches her.

"Hold on," Gojo looks away hoping the meeting will end soon, "That's not for us to decide, is it?" they all look at him narrowly.

The meeting is dismissed so everyone can ask their students whether they want to continue the event or not. Gojo helps (y/n) up and they walk to their room. She sits on the bed her head lowered before the area around them goes dark. With a sigh, she puts her hands on her face quietly sobbing and Gojo reassures her.

"I'm sorry," she says through tears, "I'm dragging everyone down,"

"(y/n)," his voice is stern and she looks up at his bright blue eyes, "What's happening?" he questions and she blinks blankly. "Over the veil..." she squints and he elaborates, "You didn't say anything...What were you looking for?"

"Im not sure,"

"Who were you looking for?" he maintains his calm composure, "Your techniques arent as strong as they used to be,"

She looks at him before looking down with a frown, "I dont know Gojo," her voice is soft, cracking at the end as the tears fill her eyes. "I feel different,"

"(y/n),"

"It takes so much to focus now," she covers her face again sobbing into her hand, Gojo looks around noticing a slight glitch in her expansion. "Like I'm not here,"

"(y/n) look at me," he holds her shoulders and she looks up at him, "I don't want you fighting anymore,"

Her shoulders drop and she raises her eyebrows, "What?" she asks sadly her voice barely coming out.

"You're hurt. Not physically but mentally. I think you're dealing with too many thoughts at once. Especially now," he looks at her eyes making sure she understands, "We need to take care of you before you can take care of us," she slowly nods and he frowns realizing she's growing tired quicker.

"But Gojo," She starts to plead his eyes narrow hinting for her to stop.

"If those curses show up and you're not at your best, it will hurt a lot of people,"

She nods before letting her head rest and the void around them disappears. She's still sitting on the bed so he lays her down, once again kissing her forehead before leaving. He grits his teeth frustrated he can't help more.

The sun is bright as she brings her sunglasses down over her eyes. She's sitting on the scoreboard watching everyone on the field. With a smile she watches Nobaru snap at Zen'in after she brought out the pitching machine. Gojo looks up at (y/n) and she continues to look out onto the field.

She bites the inside of her cheek as she pushes her hands on the top of the scoreboard. After a while, she leans forward watching the ball before realizing where it's going. Nishimiya catches the ball and Yuji exclaims in frustration followed by Megumi telling Nobara to go back. She looks over at the principal of each school talking hearing Gojo's name. Looking back out at the game she notices Toge made it on base. She smiles at Yuji giving a thumbs-up as he walks up to the plate. The bat clinks when it hits the ball and she proudly watches it miss Nishimiya's glove.

"Yeah!" he runs the bases and the Tokyo team excitedly cheers him on.

(y/n) jumps off the scoreboard as he nears home plate standing next to Gojo. She claps for Yuji as he touches the plate giving him a double high five before he goes to celebrate with his team. With a smile, (y/n) follows behind Gojo walking in front of the principals as he laughs. She gives them a polite nod as she follows Gojo, their mouths are open but she knows the ants they're looking at are just fine. Turning her head to hide her smirk at their shocked reactions.

It's been a few days now and (y/n) is heading to help Gojo train Megumi. She's walking down the hallway her thoughts roaming with her hands in the pockets of her cape. Her uniform consists of black pants, a black turtleneck tank top tucked into it with a cape that falls just over her knees, open on the side for her arms, gold round buttons going up the front of it. During battles where she uses complete concentration, it sometimes floats around her.

"Are you saying I haven't been giving it my best?" (y/n) opens the door to find Megumi sitting on the floor while Gojo stands in front of him.

"You've been doing just fine Megumi," she adds, sitting against the wall her arms resting over her cape.

"I'm not saying you haven't, I'm saying you can't," he places his hands in his pocket, "For example, in the baseball game the other day..."

(y/n) closes her eyes and lowers her head with a quiet sigh. She thinks about the day of the cursed spirits' attack and she wonders what they want. Asking herself why they went after her and Gojo. Trying to find a motive before getting interrupted. She opens one eye to find Gojo now squatting in front of Megumi.

"But no matter how many allies you have around you. When you die you'll be alone," (y/n) and Megumi react the same when Gojo brings up his trump card, "You believe that in the worst case, you can resolve everything at the cost of your life," he continues before flicking his forehead and (y/n) appears behind Megumi. "Give it your best, be greedier," she bends down behind him her hands on his shoulders her lips by his ears.

"You're strong enough anyways," she whispers with a smile.
