You and Gojo walked home together, as per usual. It was a nice day today; the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. But even while you felt the sunlight on your face, you couldn't help but feel a little down.
"Hey," you felt Gojo 's shoulder bump with yours, "you okay?"
You offered a smile, trying your best to reassure him. "Yeah, I'm okay."
"That might have fooled me before, but I'm not a kid, ya know. I know when you're lying." He sighed, stopping you from walking by standing in front of you, looking you in the eye. "Is this about what Nanami said at lunch today?"
You couldn't help but nod. "I don't want you to go with them. You can't just leave!"
"Hey, you've been my best friend for 8 years. I'm not gonna leave you. I care about you too much to do that," he placed a hand on your hand, smiling at you. "Remember when we were little and we played in your garden?"
You nodded, "We played there every day."
"Well, one time, I told you something. You remember, right?"
You did remember. But you wanted to hear it from him. With a cheeky smile, you looked up at him. "What did you say? I need reminding."
He laughed, taking your hair out of your ponytail. "You had your hair out, I remember. It was a little shorter than what it is now, but it was kind of flowing in the wind. I was supposed to be looking for a stick to pick up the ladybug you found. Then I told you that you looked pretty."
He grinned at you as you looked at him curiously, continuing to speak. "You had the same expression on your face. You remember what I said afterwards? I told you I loved you. You got mad at me, though, because the ladybug flew away. But we don't abandon people we love, right? So I'm not going to abandon you."
[15 years old, 10th Grade]
True to his word, Gojo didn't leave to go with the populars; no matter how much they begged and pressured him to be. Since that day in 8th Grade, he stood out to you in a completely different light. You didn't know how to explain it but he was more... attractive? He stood by your side through thick and thin, so you were glad to know that he was there. Of course, you had Nanami, Geto, and Shoko, but you always had a connection with Gojo.
You were definitely a lot closer to him now than you were before. A lot of people mistook you as a couple, even when you made it blatantly clear that you weren't, no matter how much you wanted to be. However, you and Gojo did the most platonic things known to man. This included hugs from behind, forehead kisses, late-night calls... but you were not dating. At least, that's what you told everyone.
You didn't want to be needy, of course, so if Gojo didn't want to hang out with you, you would never pressure him to. And he never pressured you into anything, either. It was all strictly platonic.
"Hey, (Y/N)!" You heard him say from behind you, wrapping his arms loosely around your neck.
It was the school holidays, thank god, and you were waiting for the group to wander into the café. You were always early to meet-ups because you had the irrational fear that they were going to leave you behind if you were the slightest bit late.
You smile upon hearing his voice. "Hi, Gojo. Why are you early? You're almost never on time."
You heard him chuckle, kissing your hair. "I knew you'd be here at least half-an-hour early, and I didn't want to leave you alone all by yourself. There are terrible things happening, you know?"
With a small scoff, you pulled him down to sit at the table. "You act as if you weren't there for my karate lessons."
"Actually, that was impressive." He grinned at you. "You flipped 3 guys in 5 minutes and they were both 2 years older than you?"
You smirked proudly, nodded. "Yes, I did. I was awesome back then, huh?"
"You're still awesome now," he smiled at you, lifting your knuckles to his lips.
At that moment, a face gag was heard from behind you. "You guys are disgusting!" Geto exclaimed an arm around Shoko's waist.
At the sight, you couldn't help but smirk. Shoko's cheeks were dusted pink and she caught your gaze. "Geto, (Y/N) is bullying me."
You giggled, shaking your head. "I didn't do anything. Besides, what could your man do to hurt me?"
"Are you calling me weak?" Geto demanded, faking a gasp at the insult. "Hey, I'm not the one who still hasn't confessed to the girl that he likes, Gojo ."
The said boy rolled his eyes, but a blush was still painted on his cheeks. "I have no idea what you're talking about," he said as Shoko and Geto took their seats.
"Sure you don't," he smirked, "go on, why don't you tell her now?"
You cocked your head to the side, oblivious as always. " Gojo likes someone."
Geto gaped at you, stammering over his words. "You don't... you don't fucking know?!"
"He may be my best friend, but he doesn't have to tell me everything..." you shrugged, grinning at the white haired boy. "We don't really talk about that stuff."
"Please tell me she's joking," you heard Shoko mumble to her boyfriend, who nodded in agreement.
"Joking about what?"
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!" Geto exclaimed, slapping his palm to his forehead. "I can't... this – I can't even."
Before he could get up to leave, another voice sounded from behind you. "Hey guys, you're all early, huh?"
"Hey, Nanami!" You smiled, "You even brought your girlfriend ! I'm (Y/N)."
"I'm (r/n)," the boy greeted, a small smile on his face.
"We've heard a lot about you, (r/n). I'm Gojo , and this beetroot-" he gestured to Geto, "is Geto, and this is his girlfriend, Shoko. Great to finally meet you."
"Oh, so you're Gojo . From what I've heard, you're not man enough to tell the girl you like that you likeher, even when there is so much sexual tension around you."
"Why does everyone keep saying that?" Gojo muttered, rolling his eyes, "and it is strictly platonic. We're not like that. Besides, she's an oblivious piece of work, so no matter what I do, she never sees it."
"Ey, Gojo , you should tell me!" You frowned, feeling suddenly deflated. "Everyone else knows but me..."
"Well, that's because," (r/n) began, butNanami quickly slapped a hand over his boyfriend's mouth.
"We are going to order, right love? We'll be right back..."
At that, Geto and Shoko nodded as well. "Yep, we're going to order something too. Gotta go!"
You blinked, watching the 4 of them leave before turning back to Gojo. "Come on, who is it? I won't tease you, I promise."
"You really are a dummy," he rolled his eyes before tapping your nose. "Why do you think I give you hugs from behind? And why do you think I kiss your forehead every time I see you in the morning on our way to school? (Y/N), why do I tell you that I love you every night before you go to sleep?"
"...because you're a friendly person who doesn't want me to feel alone with Shoko and Geto's, as well as (r/n) and Nanami?" You ask innocently.
Gojo sighed, shaking his head. "No, it's because I like you. More than a best friend."
"Oh." You grin up at him. "I know."
"You what?!"
"Well, if I said that I knew, I never would have heard it from you, right? And the others already make it stupidly obvious, but I want you to say it to me when you're ready." You smile, kissing his cheek. "I already knew Gojo . And by the way," you take his hands in yours, "I love you, too."
