Hockey Puck (Gojo x Nanami)

Chapter 14

The door opened. It opened wide. As they looked at each other not a word was said. Their eyes communicated more than what their mouths could ever speak.

Nanami felt his body start to tremble, his voice stuck deep in his throat. Fear, that's all he could feel. It had been so long since he saw him, fearing rejection.

Gojo on the other hand was surprised. He felt worried, worried as if something had happened. He saw how pale Nanami looked, the tremble in his eyes. It had been about a year since they had last seen each other and he had been praying for this moment but now that it's happening he felt overwhelmed.

"Hey..." Nanami said to break the silence.

Gojo stepped forward as he wrapped himself around Nanami. He held him close, resting his head softly on his shoulder.

"I missed you." Gojo mumbled.

Nanami's POV:

I... I was not expecting this... should I hug him back? Would that be weird? I don't want to cry... how do I explain myself- he probably thinks I'm just here because I have nowhere to go which... to be honest I don't.

Nanami slowly hugged back. He hadn't been this close to anyone in awhile, and not without feeling uncomfortable. The warmth of the taller male calmed him down. That's when he heard sniffles close to his ear.

"I was so worried..." Gojo whimpered.

Nanami felt how Gojo made a puddle of tears on his shoulder. He slowly patted his back gently.

"Please don't cry." Nanami responded.

"Sorry..." Gojo responded.

Gojo slowly let go, wiping his tears away quickly. He moved out of the way and held the door.

"Come in." Gojo said.

Nanami nervously walked in, taking off his shoes. The apartment was messier this time, but at this point he didn't care. He just wanted somewhere to stay.

They both sat down and started talking about how things had been and what happened. A lot of tears were shed that night, but it felt good for the both of them. Gojo's wish came true and Nanami got someone to talk to.
