Hellish (Gojo X Mio)

12 - Unpleasant Marriage 2

Mio is frowning in the car. After she left Tokyo Jujutsu High with Satoru in a car, it's raining, heavily. Mio hates rain, once again. As her cursed technique mainly from fire, she dislike rain because it would greatly decrease her power output in fight.

"You look distress. Loosen up. A marriage is not that bad." Satoru tries to cheer her up, but Mio roll her eyes instead.

"Not funny, Gojo sensei. You do know that I despise rain because of my cursed technique. That's first. Secondly, it's an arranged and forced marriage. It's bad as ever." Mio sigh. She looks outside the window.

The dripping water to the window makes Mio sigh. She wants the sun to be back faster. She frown once again, after the rain becomes heavier than earlier. Satoru chuckles. He continue to drive safely in the rain.

"You know, I think you should drop that formality. It's weird to call me by my family name." He suddenly brought that topic. Mio looks at Satoru, confuse.

"Huh? What makes you think that I would call you by your name, sensei? Forget it." Mio crossed her arm. She starts to become colder, due to air conditioner. Also, the weather wasn't helping. Thank goodness she didn't wear off shoulder clothes or anything. 

"Tch. Whatever." Satoru sounds annoyed by her antics. 

Mio still keep her guard up. There's chances he would do what he did before. Mio dislike that and she surely didn't want to become too close to Satoru. They will be a husband and wife only on paper. Nothing else, nothing much.

Hence, the journey becomes silent once again. Based on what she read from her parents' texts, they will get marry in Gojo household. Sounds crazy, but it's true. Weird, but Mio didn't know anything. Wedding dress, foods, guests, honeymoon, and the most important things, medical check up!

What if Satoru has HIV? What if he has STDs? 

He's a well known manwhore. Mio bite her lower lips, irked upon that thoughts. 

A few minutes later, the two arrived at Gojo's household. Most of the people that greet them are women. Mio could say, she has bad feeling about this. She could see, that women might become a 'maid' to her husband and this clan.

Another shit coming in her life. Mio exhale, but didn't make it too obvious. She really want to run away right now. She didn't want to end up as a housewife!

"Greetings, Satoru sama." They bow. Looks like they didn't even recognized Mio there. Mio's face turned serious. She already hate this marriage, now, this family tradition?

"Hah, whatever. Bring her away. Father said that the ceremony would occur in 30 minutes. Oh, Sasaki chan, make sure you didn't embarrassed me." Then, Satoru left. Mio clenched her fists, tight.

She then simply nod, before look at those women. They didn't say anything, but they walk away. Assuming that they want her to follow their steps, Mio simply follows them. Around 2 minutes of walking, she reached a room.

Politely, a woman open the door. Mio assume that she needs to enter the room first. Her intuition is correct. She saw a wedding dress there. Mio sigh, before look at them.

"Can I take a quick shower first? I'm quite wet because of rain earlier." Mio said. One of them nod, before points at the end of the room. Mio turns around, noticed another door was there. She smile, thanking them before left the sight.

Surprisingly, a lot sets of fresh towel are organized at the rack inside the bathroom. It's spacious. Mio, nearly drool. She grabs a towel, undo her clothes. Thank goodness, her undergarment are not wet. She could wear it back.

A few minutes of quick shower, Mio dry herself, before exit the bathroom. Only three women left in that room. They give her a smile, before starts to do their work. First, Mio needs to wear the dress and at the same time, one of them would do her make up.

Mio let them do the job, especially the one who's styling her hair. She comply with everything, without making any fuss. 30 minutes or so, every preparation is completed. Mio received a bouquet of flowers to hold in the ceremony.

Her make up is simple, which she like it the most. But, her hairstyle is quite complicated. She need help from someone if she need to undo her hair. Same goes to her dress, someone need to help her if she wants to get undress later.

Mio is walking on the aisle, not really smiling or frowning with her father walking beside her. Satoru already there, wearing his suit and standing in front of the pastor. Mio simply stop after her father let her go. He put on an obviously fake smile.

Mio didn't say anything, but she walks towards Satoru. The two then look at each other, waiting for the vows.

As the author is skipping the vows, it ended with a quick kiss from Satoru to Mio. She didn't expect anything more than that. She even thankful that he didn't act further than he should. hey might be husband and wife, but that's that.

Nothing more.

Mio frown when Satoru grabs her arm. He didn't look exactly happy, like her. Then, the two walks away to a hall. Much to Mio's surprise, there's a lot of foods on the table inside the hall. It's like everyone prepared this just for them.

Of course, it would be better if it's for a couple that love each other, not like them. Satoru leads Mio to chairs that seems too valuable to sit on. She sits on it anyway, after Satoru do the same. Hence, the feast starts.

The foods are delicious, but it taste bland for Mio. She sometimes gaze at Satoru. He seems uninterested in his foods too. Mio didn't want to say much, so she continue to eat. From now on, she's Mrs. Gojo.

Wait, will she?

The feast finally comes to an end. Too bad, it's night already. Most of the guests bid farewell to their family. Mio already yawns, sleepy. The dress is heavy, the accessories on her hair is heavy, the only things that should help her now is her heels. She need to stay focus, or else, she'll fall like a heavy pumpkin.
