𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 | Fem reader x Gojo Satoru

Bathroom

The evening drags on and so does Satoru's watchful gaze. I endure speech after speech with Noritoshi, until I finish my first glass of champagne and realise I have no idea where the toilet is. I excuse myself apologetically and he offers to take my empty glass, to which I decline as I say I'll pass it back to one of the servers when I ask for directions.

I ascend the marble steps up onto the first balcony in search of the toilets and a waitress points in the direction of a side door. Attempting not to disturb the groups watching the speech below, I make my way across the area and through the door which opens up to a long, lowly lit corridor. It's about ten metres and from here I can see two doors at the end. I trace down it and finally reach the doors, entering the women's toilets on the right.

The bathroom is just as ornate as the rest of the building and has a large expansive mirror suspended above a few sinks. I enter a stall and once I've done what I needed to do I wash my hands and look at my reflection in the mirror. I pull out a comb from my clutch and attempt to calm down my hair slightly, reapplying some of my lip tint and gloss also before I am once again happy with my appearance. I turn to the full length mirror to my right and admire my dress.

"What was the point of matching his eyes if he doesn't even stand with me for most of the evening. So much for being concerned about me being in danger..." I mutter to myself.

I push through the door and out of the bathroom as I'm once again met with the long corridor. Before I can begin my travel back, my wrist is caught by an unknown figure who must have been waiting for me and I'm pulled back. I step away and feel my back hit the cold marble wall of the corridor. The figure moves closer to me and I see it's Satoru who was my mystery offender.

"What on earth are you doing?" I whisper shout to him as he continues to make his way closer to me.

"What on earth am I doing? What have you been doing?" He asks in response.

"It's rude to answer a question with another question you know." He seethes at my response and pushes his hair back in the same stressed manner he did earlier. "I have been listening to the speeches, being a good attendee and doing my damn job. You on the other hand-" he cuts me off.

"All you've been doing is standing on those steps all evening with Noritoshi." His mention of him surprises me.

"We-el yes, we were both deserted by the people we originally came with, so it only seemed right to-" he cuts me off once again.

"Deserted? I had no obligation to stay with you this evening if I didn't want to." Okay. True, yet uncalled for.

"Have you been drinking? I don't care that you left me. Hey, I mean, if you want to leave with your girlfriend mid work event then be my guest, but don't get annoyed at the one person saving face for Jujutsu Tech as the other representative has a quickie in the bathroom." I say pointing towards the toilet doors to my right.

He stares at me for a split second. I see his gaze dart from one of my eyes to the other and then down to my lips. Are you kidding me right now? I look deeper into his eyes and he looks sober enough. No signs of alcohol at all. I also notice that he didn't refute my girlfriend claim, which suggests the two of them may be dating. Then again, this Satoru seems to like to play the field than stay with one woman at a time.

"We need to get back." He says shortly before grabbing my wrist once again and attempting to lead me back down the corridor to the main hall. I feel a mix of emotions well up inside me, he's being unbearable, a bully even. He's being the opposite of the Satoru I once knew.

"No I don't want to go back." I say yanking my hand from his grip and standing my ground. He stays facing forwards. "I'm not going back if you're going to act like this, embarrass me, and make me feel inferior. Please stop trying to make me feel as if I've done something wrong this evening." I say to his back.
