gojo held you as you sobbed into his shoulder. his world came crashing down. he knew that it was selfish to think the way he did but how could he control his thoughts. getou had your firsts, and only you knew how many firsts he had. emotions overwhelmed him but he dared not to let them show. the last thing he wanted to do at that moment was start crying while trying to comfort you. he was said to never express any emotions of sadness. he was apparently insensitive. he thought so too. but when it came to you, he was a changed man. him seeing you cry killed him inside. his realization of the claim broke him and his character. hot tears began to spill as he shut his eyes tight. his grip on your shirt tightened and you pulled him closer. he didn't know how such a small gesture made him feel so appreciated. he didn't know that he could fall even deeper in love but he did.
this is what true love is. the exposure of vulnerability to one another and taking a vow to protect them when they broke down in their arms. the symbol of utmost trust in each other to express such a weak side of yourself. hoping the other person won't stab you in the back while you're already down. but they look at you and think about how strong you really are for letting it all out. and are thankful that you trusted them enough to show a much more powerless character that you don't show just anyone. true love is both the good and the bad. the highs and the lows. the happiness and the sadness and everything in between. the mutual agreement to help each other through thick and thin. in sickness and health. true love is a rollercoaster of emotions.
you pulled back from the hug and wiped your tears with the back of you hand before holding gojo's face. slowly wiping his tears of his face with your thumbs. you never really thought he was a type of person to show vulnerability to anyone. you just stared at each other as you rubbed your thumbs on his soft cheeks as he tried to get his breathing under control. you planted a tiny kiss on his nose and earned a chuckle from gojo.
"what was that for?" he asked while staring at you. in reply, you shrugged, "just trying to take my mind off of this i guess." gojo hummed in response as he buried his face in your neck and you held him close. the warmth of his breath comforted in a way you never knew even existed. jut his presence had a huge effect on your mood, and not in the previously negative way. he used to piss you off to your core. "how did i even end up with you?" you asked before you could think. "i'm offended you would even ask something like that." you pulled your head back so that gojo was looking at you. "i'm being serious." gojo looked confused. "i don't know how you feel, so you should be asking yourself that question y/n." gojo answered, a hint of a teasing tone coated his words ever so slightly. you thought about what he said and it was true. you were so caught up in your emotions that you totally forgot about the things you actually cared about.
you gave some serious thought of the chronological events that took place since you came back from new york. carefully trying to remember what even led to you being with gojo. "i think i charmed you." gojo teased while staring at you as you processed your thoughts. "shut up," gojo let out a small laugh "but you actually kinda did, that bouquet was no joke." gojo looked at you and smiled a bit. "i never thanked you properly for it, thank you, satoru. and i'm sorry i threw it away." his eyes widened, "you threw it?" you nodded with guilt building up in your chest. "i just couldn't believe that you gave me a bouquet, some could say i was going through the five stages of grief at that moment. i was in heavy denial." you tried to laugh as naturally as it occurred to you. gojo looked surprised but he shrugged it off. "but i was being dead serious when i said that the bouquet reminded me of you though." you didn't know how to react to that. of course a bouquet of flowers would remind anyone of you because of your curse. but hearing it from gojo was way different. he was your... partner. even admitting that made you feel weird inside considering the way you felt about him for so long. and how it all suddenly changed in one night. it said a lot about how your heart can sway so quickly.
"you still thinking?" gojo asked after he got bored of waiting, which wasn't very long. "you want me to be?" gojo nodded, "yeah, i wanna cuddle right now." gojo opened his arms and you accepted the embrace as he encaged you within his arms. his warmth striking you like it was something you had never felt before. the hairs on your neck rose while you stilled in his arms, trying to calm yourself down because the rush of emotions you felt was the last thing you knew you could ever feel, especially for gojo.
you finally took a breath and slowly reached your arms towards his neck and hugged him. you right hand crawled its way to his hair and you began to play with it. you rubbed small circles with your fingers and slowly stroked his hair. you could feel his raise and fall of his chest against yours with every breath he took. he seemed to calm down the more you played with his hair and you were glad you could help him out.
"why are you so nice?" gojo asked all of a sudden. "i didn't think you'd ever be this nice to be honest." you thought about what he said yet again. "i guess it's because i like you." gojo pulled back and looked you right in the eye. "you're being serious...?" you cocked an eyebrow in confusion, "when am i ever not serious?" gojo laughed at your response. "yeah, you're right." he exhaled, running a hand over his face. "god, i didn't expect you to like me." you stared at him blankly in confusion and he seemed to notice, "what?" he asked. "so after everything we've shared the past few days and even now, you think i didn't like you?" you finally blinked. gojo seemed to be flustered with your reply, he thought he was stupid for assuming such. "i just thought that you were in a vulnerable state lately and needed someone to rely on, and even if that's the case... i'd do it all over again for you, y/n." gojo said, straight from his heart. you were taken aback, your body tensed and your jaw was shut tight. you felt like you were going to cry again. tears dared to spill, your eyes becoming glossy yet again. "no no please dont cry y/n... i didn't mean to make you cry, oh my god." gojo cradled as he tried to stop you from crying. "why are you being so nice, satoru? you almost made me sob again, bitch." you sniffled. gojo let out a small chuckle before he began to rock you from side to side in order to keep you calm. "i'm nice because i like you more." gojo answered. "prove it." you demanded.
gojo pulled back before brushing his lips on yours. planting a soft and gentle kiss on your lips. "i take back what i said," your breath hitched momentarily. gojo lowered his head. he took a deep breath and looked at you. the color of his eyes shifted from an icy blue to one the color of a clear ocean.
