Waiting For You [ Gojo satoru x Male! Reader]

Chapter 11

Death by a thousand cuts

One thing that I have noticed is that, we live up to expectations, and hoped for the better in all possible things, we expect things to be like what we see in the movies or something that we read in some novels. A happy and free life is all that we hoped for, however most of the times, everyone gets wounded in the process of wanting to be happy. Every day a person begins his life and at the same that a person also vanishes from the world leaving behind all the glories of life. It's funny actually, in a few years time, our body which we consider to be superior as compared to other organisms will be eaten by some small bacteria which cannot be seen by the naked eye.

The burning sensation in my head was the only thing that I remember from last night and it had not left. I stare at the ceiling of an unknown room, unsure about my security, but I was too lazy to get up and investigate the room. The room was clean, modern, minimalist and have a nice smell. I try getting up but failed miserably as I was aching at every joints possible. I sigh and despite by dislike, memories of last night came rushing into my mind. Remembering and thinking about was the last thing that I want to do, but it would not get off my mind no matter how hard I tried. The door creak open and I cautiously eye the person on the other side of the room. I would lie if I say that I did not expect that person to be Gojo. However, I was met by a shirtless nanami with his black pajama pants.

"Oh! You are awake" his voice was raspy indicating that he too had woken not long ago. I sigh in relief after knowing that I was not asleep in some random person's room. Nanami sat near me and puts his hand on my forehead. "You are burning"
He walks out of the room and returns with a wet towel, I can feel my body burning as the cold towel touches my forehead.
"You were really drunk last night, so I took you home. Hope you would not mind" Right now, I want to hug Nanami, although we were not that close, he actually behaved very gentleman like despite me being a some what burden to him. "No I don't Nanami, in fact, I want to thank you for taking care of me even if I was the one to take care of you.Go-" I cut off my sentence and stop talking. I will not talk about or think about Gojo anymore. I'am better off without him anyways. All he did to me was being a jerk and give me an eye bag. "Nanami, thank you, you have truly been very kind to me."
He blush a bit and look away. I look at him and he looks tense, as if he never rests. Although he was younger than me, he looks at least 2 years older than me , in a good way of course, but if I was 17 again, I would have never thought that he would be like this. He suddenly walks out of the room and walks in with medicine and a glass of water. He hands it over to me and I swallow the bitter pill. To be entirely honest, it was getting very awkward since I do not know what to say. "Nanami, have you got a girlfriend yet?" I smirk, letting out the Gojo effect in me. He immediately tense up, and blush but he feels obliged to respond. "To tell you the truth, (m/n) , I have been single for god knows how long, but I do have a crush when I was younger that I can never get over with" he confess.
"Well, Iam sure, she will like you back, since you are everything what a lady ask for. But, remember to smile a little" I respond as I touch his blonde hair and boy were they soft. He nodded and stays with me until the medicine took effect in me and I went back to sleep.

A week has passed by and I have come into conclusion that I will stay at the dorms with the students. I have been training with Nanami and I must say that I have slowly come into shape again, Nanami insists that I could stay with him, but I told him that it was fine and I wanted to stay at the dorms. I have not seen anyone else besides Nanami and Shoko. I really wanted to see Megumi but I figured that he was busy with some missions. I look at myself in the mirror, and remind myself not to overthink and regret about this "favour". Although, I have tried hard to not think about Satoru, I find myself waiting for him everyday, that he will come back to me and make amends for his terrible behaviour. But he never came. I laugh, knowing that he can do just fine without me , I was just some dude whom he happens to kiss accidentally when we was a young and curious teenager. But to me, he was like like the sun drenched month of August, so warm, sunny and delightful. August passes so soon that year, it was the best time of the month for me, till today.Now, it was all just a history and a very one sided affair.

Evening came by, and it was time for me to climb up the hills of Jujutsu tech. Nanami was there with me , help me to clean up my room and arrange.
"You really are helpful Nanamin" I exclaimed. "I owe you a lot. Maybe I can set you up with someone" He immediately blush as he hears my teasing. God I love bullying him. "It's alright" he says with sincerity. He was there with me the entire week, though he was silent, I love his company very much. "I'm going to miss you very much. Be sure to visit me every now and then". He nodded and we walk out of the dorm. "(m/n) if you need anything, please call me, you will promise me that right?"
"Of course I will, who else will I call silly?"
I laugh at his confused face. He was really handsome and cute. The person who he has a crush on is really lucky.
"Bye Nanami!" I wave at him while he walks down the hill. After turning away, I proceeded to walk inside the building.
"(m/n)" I hear a voice and I was hugged behind the back by Nanami. It took me by surprise, to be honest , however, I face him and returns his hug. "I will miss you too"
"Sorry"
"You don't have to be sorry. I understand"
He finally broke the hug and kiss my cheeks. He came to his senses and said that he was sorry. I smile because I know that I have been the one to keep him company after  a very long time and he must have felt attached. I quickly kiss his cheeks and he blush. "Now go, you are going to be late."
"Nanami" I hear a familiar voice behind us , and Iam certain that he has witnessed the scene for quite some time. Nanami immediately flinched when he saw Satoru smiling at him. "What is it?" he said coldly. Before Gojo could say anything he say, "I'll get going. Take care (m/n)"
I quickly walk away and return to my room. I fell into my bed and my heart begins to race. Did he see it? Why was I so afraid? Just as expected, I hear a knock on my door.

Fuck

I open the door and he enters my room without asking for permission.
"What do you want?" I command. He scans the room and pretends to not know my presence. He opens my closet and take something out of it. It was Nanami's yellow spotted necktie. He looks at me and then smirks. Not the teasing smirk that he always give me but a different one which was full of hatred and disgust.
"You impress me (m/n), I would not assume you to be the type of guy who would easily spread your leg"
I was so angry that I could not find anything to say. "Who would have known you would be such a manwhore? You know what? Why don't you make a living out of it since you are so good at spreading your legs? All it takes was a one night stand and now bang! You make that poor guy fell head over heels for -"
I slap him across the face so hard that his blindfold fell on the ground. His eyes that was once warm was now dark. How could he assume such things? Moreover, how does he have the audacity to slut shame me and call me a manwhore?
"I do not know how you get that disgusting idea of yours but how can you have the balls to say that when you were the one ditching me when I have nowhere else to stay? I'am not like some of the girlfriends that you have , and I will never do anything like you have mentioned and I don't need to prove myself."
" I saw you guys kissing" he says with a low voice.
"So be it? Why are you so against it? Get out Gojo, I don't want to see your face ever again!"  I shout at him. He picks up his blindfold and exit my room. I fell on the bed and started crying. How can he be so insensitive? There I was trying to forgive him, but then all he did was degrade me. I felt hurt to be slut shamed but the guy who means the most to me. It takes everything in me to go back to Tokyo and it was just because of him and nothing else. I just want to scream and cry my heart out but I could not do so. Tears fell down from my cheeks like running water but I could not make any sound. But although he have said those hurting words, I know , saying goodbye to him would still be harder than this. In fact it would be death by a thousand cuts.
