It all felt like a hazy dream when you were sober again. The moment you fully recovered, Gojo started being Gohoe (not that he's not in the first place) and kicked you out.

"Don't die, okay?" Gojo rubbed your head with both of his hands as if you were a dog.

"Yeah yeah, whatever," you rolled your eyes and tried to shove his hands away, but he only fought back with greater strength.

"You forgot something," he pouted at you as he wrestled you.

"You're just too stupid," you stuck out your tongue at him as you used all of your strength to push him back, "i-is this how you treat a patient?" You protested as he seemed like he wasn't even using any of his strength.

Without a warning, he pulled his hands back, causing you to lose your balance and stumble into him. The moment you were an inch closer to him, he wrapped his arms around you like an octopus that caught its prey, refusing to loosen his grip no matter how hard you struggled.

"You forgot to give me a goodbye kiss," saying in a sad tone, he rocked his body from one side to another along with you.

You immediately scowled at him, "disgusting."

You jumped up, successfully headbutting his chin which made him yelp in pain.

After he took a step backwards, he pursed his lips and sniffled, "how could you?"

Not being able to contain your grin, you let out a soft snort before turning around with a wave, "see ya."

"(Name)."

Turning your head to look at him, you could see Gojo standing there with a lopsided smile.

"Stay safe, yeah?" Tilting his head to a side, he waited for your response.

There was a moment of hesitation, but gradually you nodded with a smile, "I will," you said as you waved both of your hands at him, "I promise."

The smirk on his face stretched wider, you could see it reach his eyes behind his sunglasses. He didn't say another word, but he waved back at you.

New day new mission, you sighed as you stepped into the car that was here to pick you up. Even though you knew Gojo can just make them stop giving you work if you asked, that'd trouble him even though he has too much time on his hands. Aside from that, this is the life you wanted, preventing harm to normal civilians and protecting them, even though you were not able to see the results of it.

The thought of that caused images of a person clutching themself in pain to flash into your mind abruptly, jolting through your form like electricity. You could still feel the sticky warm blood on your hands when you stared into his widened eyes that night, you knew you had hurt someone precious to you, and there was nothing that you could do to change that. Sucking in a deep breath, you tried to clear your head by looking out the window.

I should apologize to Junpei, you thought to yourself, gripping the hem of your shirt before letting go.

You reached into your pocket to take out your phone then quickly found his contact, your conversation with him stopped at a discussion about a movie that recently came out a month ago, you didn't get to watch it with him before it was off the screen. You wasted no time typing your apology. It started with a simple 'sorry', but you soon felt the need to add more content to it. One short sentence turned into a paragraph, soon turning into an essay written for college, but you were never able to press the send button.
