a deafening silence settled around the two of you.
though gojo was now awaiting a reply, you remained silent; still yet to truly take in what gojo had said.
he had a stalker?
a part of you, larger than you'd like to admit, was not surprised that gojo had acquired himself a stalker. gojo had been blessed with the brain to go with his beauty and with also being outgoing and friendly, it was unfortunate that many had mistaken his friendliness for directed attention.
but surely stalkers were something of fiction?
the alley at which you and gojo were currently standing was silent, as if it too was attempting to listen in to the conversation. the lights lining the alley and the adjoining road gave off a soft yellow light, most bulbs occasionally flickered whilst some failed to even work.
you shook your head bringing yourself out of the daze. a futile attempt really, as if that would also help make sense of things, but none the less you did it.
"you have a stalker?" you questioned audibly this time. you watched him carefully as you did, so you'd catch even the slightest of amusement on his face. but you saw none.
the always smiling gojo you knew was now a picture of seriousness. and it made you unsettled.
"yes," he spoke, swallowing thickly. his sapphire eyes watching your e/c eyes. "it's probably been about four weeks now. i assumed it was just a really passionate fan or something. first it was just small and cute notes in my locker but now it's dark text messages, silent calls and pictures of me and people and things in my life–"
gojo's speech had now quickened in pace. he wasn't one to easily get scared or anxious, or rather at all, but now you were seeing him vulnerable. as he spoke, his eyes shifted from side to side, seemingly scanning the alley in paranoia. his hand had become clammy as they remained in hold with yours. the inconsistent street lights played shadows on his face, illuminating and concealing his features at the same time.
you released your hold on his hand and placed both hands on his shoulders and then his face, to reassure him. you weren't sure if it was truly reassuring but it was the best you could do.
"satoru, it's ok. calm down," you spoke slowly as you brushed one side of his hair gently. you waited till he had taken a few breaths before continuing, "so explain where i come into this?"
"i thought that by having a girlfriend, they would leave me alone. either that or they would have focused their attention on you; since you'd be the closest person to me. and that they might reveal themselves to you or at least it may be more obvious who they are. but they are being so much more cautious and sneaky than i could have imagined."
