Gojo x Reader - The Strongest

Chapter 9

She squints as she slowly lowers her arm from her face. Multiple eyes are looking at her as she frantically looks around. Quickly standing she steps back bumping into someone. She slowly turns around looking up into those familiar eyes. After a quick look around she takes in her location her knees finally giving in from the rush of time coming back.

"Thank you," she mutters and her students look at each other concern in their faces.

Gojo squats down to her level and the students give them space, having just come back from a void of darkness. She notices her clothes are torn up and looks over at Gojo's clothes still the same as when they first entered the realm.

"Fuck you and your limitless," she mutters and he pulls her in.

"You disappeared and..." he trails off before pulling back and looking at her tired eyes, "I'm glad you're okay (y/n)," he rests his head on her shoulder, sliding her hand up his back she runs her fingers through his hair.

"You got out before I did?" she quietly questions

"I got out a couple of hours ago," he looks at her, and she continues to look down.

"How long has it been?" He shrugs not having asked these questions when he got out, his focus being only on finding her. After a while, he helps her up and they make their way to the students.

She sits on the bed the students at their doorway, making sure they're okay. She looks up at them with a small smile as she tilts her head.

"How long has it been?"

"Uh...Its been a little over two years," her eyes widen.

"Yeah September 19...we'll let you two rest," the students step out and close the door leaving Gojo and (y/n) alone.

Gojo looks back at her, eyes wide a grin on his face. She smiles back, standing up and pulling him in. Their lips meet, deprived of each others touch. He pulls back lowering his bandana and resting his forehead on hers their lips still close as he gives her a quick peck with a smile.

"Happy anniversary," he whispers she chuckles looking him in the eyes before raising the bandana back over his eyes.

"Happy anniversary," she repeats giving him a long kiss before pulling away and falling onto the bed. "Im so tired," the mental exhaustion outweighing the physical as she looks up at the ceiling.

He sits next to her a hand on her leg, "What happened after we got separated?" she continues to stare up pressing her lips together.

"I dont know," she shrugs, "The skeletons were grabbing me pulling at me," her eyes widen when she remembers the figure, "Someone attacked me and I couldn't do anything," she clears her throat. Her hands rest on her stomach as she continues to remember.

"Did they say anything?" she shakes her head.

"They just sat on top of me, punching..." he glances down at the bruises covering her arm noticing them for the first time.

He looks at her scratched face and he feels the anger rise. She sits up the look on his face slightly scaring her as she scoots back, now resting against the bed frame. Her leg moving away from under his hand makes him look up at her and she slightly flinches.

"What happened to you?" she questions, "When we got separated," her voice is quiet as she fidgets with the sheets.

"I ran...trying to find you," his eyes are full of sorrow as he looks at her, "I couldnt deal with not knowing where you were," he looks down at her bruised arms, "How you were,"

Biting the inside of her cheeks she hesitates, "Gojo..." she looks away, "I dont think..." the words hover in her mind for a minute. "This can't be good," furrowing her eyebrows she wonders if thats how she wanted to say it.
