𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞 | Fem reader x Gojo Satoru

An Old Promise

I give the man in front of me a polite, yet confused smile as he looks me up and down. He returns my smile, but for some reason I sense a feeling of tension behind it. He's dressed in a full suit, but it's an unusual kind of suit, almost like... a butlers uniform?

"Hi, I'm here to see Satoru." I explain and I see his eyes flick to the bags either side of me.

"One second Miss." He says politely as he holds a single gloved finger up. I nod in response, not really sure what to say. He moves away from the door, closing it in front of me and I stand there even more confused.

I notice the bay window to the left of me is open, and I hear the man who has just answered the door shout to whoever is in the house.

"Master Gojo, there is a woman at the door for you." The man calls and I have to stifle a giggle at the way he says 'woman'. He's obviously had to deal with Satoru's womaniser antics before, and I don't blame him for his attitude. I hear a fainter voice shout something back which I can't make out, and a few seconds later the door is reopened in front of me and the suited man returns.

He gives me another polite, yet forced, smile before speaking. "Could I please have your name?" He asks.

"Y/n." I say and he nods in response.

"One second Miss...?"

"L/n, Miss L/n."

"One second Miss L/n." He says as he once again holds a gloved finger up to my face, signalling for me to wait as he shuts the door in front of me for a second time. This situation truly is absurd.

Suddenly the door is flung open again, but this time it's not the man from before, it's Satoru. Except it doesn't really look like Satoru, it looks like someone impersonating him. He's wearing a white t shirt and grey sweatpants, it's not often I see him in casual clothes. Gone are his usual grin and vibrant eyes, instead they're adorned with black circles and even his lips have faded to a pale colour as he stands in front of me.

"Oh. My. God." Is all I can say as he smiles weakly.

"I know." He says in a raspy voice as he moves to the side, allowing me to enter.

"I brought food." I say as I hold the bags up either side of me in an attempt to raise his mood. He points to the doors on his right and I go through them, entering a vast living room with a huge couch placed in the middle. I pause to take in the grandeur of the room, but feel Satoru's hand on the small of my back, signalling for me to move towards the couch.

I sit myself down and he comes next to me, leaving a good amount of space between us. I'm assuming he doesn't want me to catch whatever he has, but I'm willing to take the risk so I shuffle closer to him, eliminating some of the space.

"I'll give you the flu if you get any closer." He says as he looks at me apprehensively.

"Do your worst." I challenge and he lets out a hoarse laugh as I go to unbox the bags I brought from Kento's offices. "I'm sorry, this is all I have." I say as I lay the food out on the table. "Everywhere was shut by the time I got off work."

"Busy day?" He asks.

"You have no idea." He looks so unwell that I don't have the heart to break it to him that I've been doing some of his work, the last thing he needs now is his ego being crushed. "I figured you'd already have eaten, so I just brought dessert." I tell him with a smile.

"You know me so well." He says as he hits my arm. We begin to eat the cakes, cookies, and other desserts I brought with me, or Satoru does at least - I don't exactly get a look in but I'm not mad about that. I'm just happy he's eating to regain his strength.
