Into Infinity | Satoru Gojo x Female Reader

Chapter 23

Light. Bright white light. The feeling of being embraced by heaven's clouds. This is pure blissfulness. This is mmm...

You open your eyes. The truth is not far off—you are in Gojo's California king-sized bed, wrapped in his sleeping arms. His heart energy envelops you, soft and peaceful, telling you of all the man's affections, and his head is tilted toward you protectively. You smile. Underneath all Gojo's bravado, he really is a sweetheart.

You roll over and kiss his sleeping cheek. He groans and pulls you in tighter. "Mmmm, [MC]."

Last night. Your perfect date. Running around Tokyo like two uninhibited children. Being met with the beauty of Gojo's eyes at last. And that kiss...

You sigh. Even the run-in with the curse seemed to tie everything together perfectly. It all feels like one beautiful dream.

Speaking of dreams...

There was no visit from mister Koretoki last night. You slept peacefully throughout the night. Maybe having Gojo near really is the remedy for everything.

You sit up and look at the sleeping prince. In this vulnerable state, he looks nothing like the dynamic man you've come to know and everything like one of heaven's angels. His snow-white hair lays softly against his face, and his eyelashes—you can look at them properly now—are so long and saintly they could belong on the back of a god. The purity of him almost frightens you. You are again struck with the feeling of being in the presence of something extra-terrestrial.

He's so beautiful. And he's mine. This man is mine. You think you shed a tear or two.

You think back to all the time you've spent together. Really, it's only been what? A couple months? Not including the time you spent outside of your body. But that time has felt like an eternity in the best of ways—that first day where you watched the sunset together after you slayed your first curse, the time where you ran into him on the bridge and he revealed a deeper side to his self, your journey to the forest together where he saved you from a frightening fall, him going along with your ridiculous flying-carpet idea all because he thought it would be fun, all that time he spent by your side while you were trapped in that ruby world. Training... all the ways he teased you throughout. And then... last night, when you finally got to experience the sweet lips of Gojo-sensei.

Major sighhh...

A thought strikes you that brings a smile to your lips.

Even ETs need to eat right?

You scooch out of Gojo's grip and quietly make your way out of bed.

After all the times he has cooked for you, treated you, saved you from harm, it's finally time for you to do something for him.

You make your way into his pristine kitchen, your heart fluttering as you take everything in with new eyes. Gojo's stove, Gojo's cupboards, Gojo's...

You open the fridge and find it surprisingly empty. Wait... does this man even live here? Now that you think about it, he does spend a lot of time at the school and when he's not there he's usually off on some mission, so it makes sense that he wouldn't have much time to get comfy here. Somehow even this tiny insight into his life makes your heart dance. Gosh dang it, you really are helplessly in love with the man.

You pull out what you can find out of the fridge and cupboards and try to mash something together in your mind, but your recipe repertoire doesn't extend that far. Then you remember someone who is good at cooking...

You give Yuuji a call.

"Hey [M/C] what's up! We were worried about you, you didn't come home last night."
