𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 | Fem reader x Gojo Satoru

Coming down

As Shoko drags me into her apartment, both of us laughing, I can hear Role Model by Brent Faiyaz playing over the speakers. The atmosphere is incredible and Shoko 100% knows how to throw a good party. The room is dimly lit and colourful patterns are projected on the ceiling and walls giving her apartment a magical and dizzying feel as people collide with one another in a dancing frenzy.

There are calmer areas too though, mostly towards back of the room as dim, hanging lights illuminate Shoko's kitchen without spoiling the ambience of the avid partiers in the centre, offering some respite to those who want a break from the liveliness of where people are dancing.

My eyes scan the room as I spin round, taking in my surroundings and I continue to follow her. I see Satoru at her home bar talking with some of the other sorcerers from Jujutsu tech. He smiles at me from across the distance and I return it before I'm dragged away once again by Shoko.

She continues to pull me through the crowds, eventually reaching her kitchen island where I previously saw her arranging drinks over FaceTime. She turns to me. "These." She begins, gesturing to the drinks in front of her. "Are reserved for my favourite people." She says as she presses her finger into my chest. I see there's a few glasses of champagne, rosé, and rows of different shots laid out.

"Pick your poison." She says, eager for me to choose what to drink. I reach my hand out towards one of the glasses of champagne, but she slaps it back, causing me to jump.

"Oh what now?!" I respond, beginning to get frustrated.

"No no no not those... I think you should have something harder." Shoko says as she picks up two of the unidentified shots.

"What exactly is in this?" I ask her, raising an eyebrow and inspecting the shot glass and pink liquid inside. She waves her hand at me dismissively before pushing the shot up to my mouth as we both simultaneously drink them. I feel the burn of the alcohol slide down my throat and give her a thumbs up.

"See, that wasn't so hard was it?" She says, offering me another, causing me to raise my eyebrows at her. "Come on, you have to catch up with me." She pleads and I do as she says because this evening I can't be bothered to argue with drunk Shoko. A few shots later and we're joined by two women who I assume work at Jujutsu tech. One of them has long black hair and the other shoulder length blonde hair and they're both wearing short party dresses. They look amazing.

Shoko greets them warmly and introduces me to them. I was right and they both have admin roles at the school, I've probably seen them around somewhere and I just can't remember. Shoko begins to ramble to me about something and I unfortunately begin to tune her out as I listen in to the girls' conversation beside me.

"Did you hear who was coming?" One of them begins.

"Yeah, I did, I don't know if he's here yet though." The other responds as Shoko continues to talk at me and I 'hmm' neutrally in response to her rambling.

"Surely Satoru wouldn't miss a party like this... It seems totally his vibe."

I turn stiff at the mention of his name. I should have noticed earlier, I mean, who else would have caused such a stir. Nonetheless, they haven't said anything weird so there's no need to have any animosity towards them. Plus our relationship isn't even that public so I can't really blame them.

"If he does show up here, I'm 100% going to make a move." The black haired girl replies and I almost let out a laugh.

"I hear he's taken some time out from playing the field though." Um yeah, he has. "He might have even settled down." The short haired girl replies and I want to hug her.
