Drowning in Cold Blue Devotion

Chapter 3: Even Blue Eyed Monsters Build Love Nests

Without any warning, and with you still in your pajamas and bed-messy hair, you're now in the familiar surroundings of the empty training room in Gojo's place located in the far outskirts of the Jujutsu Tech campus. You don't even have shoes, or your phone.

"Honey, we're home~!" Gojo sings happily, setting down the shopping bags and twirling you both about in a circle. When he comes to a stop he grins down at you, "I know it's a little early, but you can think of this as your home now, too."

You're not sure what to say to that, or his over the top welcome. The spinning didn't help you get your bearings. The worst thing about him warping is you never can tell it's happening until you've relocated, but it somehow makes you motion sick for a moment anyway. Like your brain is stuck in a loop doing an instant replay to figure out how you went from A to B in less than a heartbeat.

"I'm still in my pajamas. And you left my phone." You say as he carries you out of the living room down a hall. "Slow down a second, where are we going?"

"Mmm to my room." Gojo says vaguely, not slowing his long, fast strides down the slightest.

You feel a sudden chill and the start of a cold sweat, like walking over your own grave. "I thought we were going to talk more first?"

Gojo flashes a grin at you with a little too much teeth to be comforting, but then seems to figure something out. "Oh, I see why you're worried. We still are going to talk more, but all the preparations are in there. I do have company sometimes, you know. Wouldn't want them to find all the naughty things I have for you. Were you worried I was going to have my way with you already?"

"No, just trying to understand the plan." You say, not really feeling relieved but going along with it.

"You're so cute when you're nervous! So innocent and sweet. I could just eat you up, you know that? I have one hell of a sweet tooth after all. Cannibalism though would be a little bit of a waste in your case." Gojo says, this time with a smile that's clearly meant to be intimidating on purpose.

You shudder and tuck your head against his shoulder, so you don't have to look up at him any more. His eyes are too intense during a regular conversation that doesn't involve Gojo eating you alive.

Gojo comes to a stop in front of a large heavy looking wooden door with ornate carving. The door seems a little out of place in the mostly traditional Japanese architecture, and is definitely not an original part of the building. "This is it! I forget if you knew where my old room was."

"You relocated your room in your own house?" You ask, pretty certain you weren't aware of where his old room was. A lot of the rooms are empty and or unused, it's a large place meant for a full family and not one lone madman.

Gojo has no trouble dipping to turn the knob, opening the door, all while carrying you. He carries you inside and walks you over to his very large bed, setting you down on it and stepping back proudly gesturing around him like it's a big reveal. "I told you, preparations. I had a bunch of work done on this room over here for us. I've never actually slept in this bed yet - but the sheets are fresh. It's all new for us to share. Look around, explore! I'll be right back."

Before you can ask where he's going or why, he slips out the door he came in and disappears, though he leaves the door open in his wake. You try not to think about the fact that the very same door he brought you in has a very large, very sturdy lock on it that clearly can be locked with a key from either side of the door.

You look around as he suggested, and the large room is fully furnished and then some. The room has tatami mats for the floor but otherwise looks mostly European in terms of the wood paneled walls, ceiling, and the doors which lead elsewhere on either side of the bed. There's a giant TV on the wall next to the door, with what looks like every game console made in the last ten years on shelves below it. There's shelves built into the wall with what look to be movies and games, probably enough of them you could exchange their total value for a car. There's some books too, and you can recognizes a few manga spines from where you're at. There's also a much larger, nicer, and higher backed couch than yours, and a table in front of the TV. The couch looks like the seats even recline.
