NADA - Geto Suguru X OC X Gojo Satoru

Sick

Sorry, this is prolly another soft chapter. I wanted to get things nice and cute before messing it up. Sorry, thanks, love you. Bye.

Geto seemed usually tired when he showed up at her place shortly after his mission in Osaka. "You don't look so well", she let him in.

"I'm probably just tired" he said, unbuttoning the top buttons of his shirt and rolled up his sleeves, "I missed you".

"I did, too." She pulled a chair for him at the dining table "We're having lunch, come join us?"

"Getooo saaan" the kids were so glad to see him "you're back!"

"I am. I couldn't bear to miss you guys anymore", he feigned, making her giggle as the kids fell for it. It felt like home for him.

By the end of lunch, he couldn't get up from his seat. He groaned pushing himself off the chair, "I think I should go".

"No. You're falling sic-" she gasped when he dropped on the floor, alerting even the kids. "GETO SAN!"

"Let's get him inside" she tried to stay calm and the kids helped her get him to her room. She knew she wasn't very strong, but being frail didn't help much in dragging the giant man to her room. If it weren't for the kids, she couldn't have moved him.

"It's okay..." he mumbled "I-I can-"

"You can't" she almost threatened him, taking him by surprise "and stop moving. I risked my life to get you to bed".

The kids knew the drill. Every time she fell sick, they took care of her and they knew exactly what to do. Tio placed a bowl of cold water next to her and handed her a soft cloth.

The other kids brought their blankets and tucked him in until he was mummified.

"That's very helpful, thank you" she said as she placed the cold cloth on his forehead and slowly took his hair tie out. "I'll call a doctor."

"S-Shoko" he said as he looked at his phone, "call-"

"Understood." She quickly called 'Shoko' on his phone as soon as he told her his passcode.

"Hmm?" Shoko looked at her phone in annoyance, Geto never called her in the middle of the day, especially when he disappeared like that "Suguru, this better be urgent."

"Shoko san?" She softly spoke. Shoko wasn't expecting someone else to call her form his phone, "Suguru san is really sick, I'll... put you on speaker".

And as soon as she held the phone in his direction, "SUGURU, YOU DUMBASS! You're sick too? This shithead was sick for a while as well. I warned you both a million times! That stupid curse was venomous! YOU JUST HAD TO BE BRATS!" She groaned on the speaker "ARGH! Text me your location" she hung up.

"I'm sorry-"

"Do I text her?" She was very apprehensive with letting strangers in, knowing fully well about the sensitive environment in her house. But it was for Geto and she didn't mind.

"I'm sorry... I know you don't-"

"If it means you'll get better," she quickly sent the location to Shoko. She was so scared with how fast he was depleting. He held her trembling hand, assuring her that it'll be fine

Very soon, the door knocked and she went to get it.

Shoko looked at the smaller figure open the door and instantly put 2 and 2 together, "Are you Suguru's girlfriend?", she also saw small heads peek out of different corners, with Geto's curses lurking around, confusing her even more.

"He's inside, it looks pretty bad." She didn't pay any attention Shoko's question. She was more worried about Geto.

"You're such a show off" she placed her bag next to Geto's bed and placed her hands on his chest to heal him with her Reverse Cursed Technique. "If you keep doing this, you'll really die soon".

"So this is where you run off to, huh?" Shoko had a mischievous smile on her face.

"Please don't harass her" he was already much better, "she tries her best to take care of all of them".

"G-Geto san?" Tio peeked from behind the door.

"What do you have there?" Geto playfully asked the little boy.

"I made green tea for you" he slowly handed it over to Geto. "You did? And it looks good", he tried to get Tio in a better mood.

"Will you be okay?" Tears streamed down his face and Geto's heart broke. "Come here" he took Tio in his arms "I'm sorry you had to see that. I'm much better now. See?"

Soon, all the kids joined him, asking him if he'll be okay.

Shoko was taken aback with how soft Geto was with them.

"Shoko, thank you for coming over" he said and she narrowed her eyes at him "you're so weirdly nice when you're here. So weird."

"Doctor san..." Haruto said, "please have dinner with us."

"Really?" Shoko asked and he nodded in excitement "you saved Geto san."

"They're all so cute" Shoko said as she turned to look at Geto "I was worried about you when you kept disappearing like that, but this is so much better than I'd imagined." She leaned closer to him "say... was that your girlfriend?"

"I don't know what to call it yet, but you could say that I guess" he said before realizing that she wasn't in the room, "she must be tired, I'll go help her out." He said, getting out of bed and stretched his arms "I feel much better. Shoko, come have dinner with us". He said before heading into the kitchen, massaging his shoulder.

"Should you be out of bed?" She sensed his presence behind him and felt him wrap his arms around her "it's because you didn't join me".

"Why would you say that?" She was relieved that he was fine since he got back to embarrassing her.

"Thank you" he said.

"I didn't do anything" she smiled as she set the table, "Shoko san, please join us."

"Of course. I don't think the kids will let me leave before dinner." She laughed "ah, they're so wholesome. Dumbhead Gojo is missing out."

She froze in her spot, but only for a second.

'Gojo? It can't be the same Gojo. There's no way' she shrugged the thought away.

Geto had to leave with Shoko. He had to file the mission report the next day. "I'm sorry I couldn't stay f-"

"I'm just glad you're okay."

His tense shoulders dropped as he put his arms around her and placed a small kiss on her lips, "I'll see you soon, okay?"

"Please take care of yourself", she said before seeing them off.

On their way back, Shoko looked at Geto who had his head laid back against the headrest in the car, with his eyes closed and a small smile on his face.

"You look happy" Shoko said.

"I am" his smile grew wider.

"She seems nice. They all do. Does she take care of them all by herself?"

"They're all very nice. The curses help."

"The curses" Shoko fell into a deep thought "they're all registered". She was smart enough to realize why his curses were there.

"Suguru, isn't this the same area as that mission where the neighbours complained about that curse infestation?" She asked and he didn't answer.

"Principal Yaga assigned it to you saying it's the perfect mission for you." She side-eyed Geto "it was perfect indeed."

"It just happened to be here", he chuckled remembering that day.

"Is that when you met her?" She asked and he nodded.

"Ah, you little piece of shit."
