Limitless ✩ Gojo Satoru

Chapter Six ✩ Old Married Couple

The warm glow of dimly lit bulbs casts a golden hue over the wooden furnishings and vintage decor of the bar.

It was still day, meaning the bar was still appropriate for them young individuals. As a few individuals loitered the club, there's a low murmur of conversation, clinking of glasses, and the popular melodies of many daily hits.

The new group of classmates occupied a large wooden table off to the side of the bar in attempt to avoid any unwanted attention.

"I feel like we have never came out like this." Haibara grinned taking a bite out of his food. "I guess new people can always bring old people together."

Nanami took a sip of his water. "It's not that. We are each busy on our own missions and stuff. It's hard to coordinate stuff like this."

"Exactly! This feels like destiny. Don't you think so Shoko?" Haibara tapped the girl's arm who was across the table from him.

"Not destiny. It's just that you guys have decide to make effort where you want." She turned to her side glancing at Gojo and Geto. "You two were quick to come along. Were you guys worried that Haibara and Nanami would have Kanae to themselves?"

"Shoko you sure do enjoy creating false fantasies in your mind." Geto replied to her to which she flashed her tongue at him.

"This is merely factual. Didn't Gojo just wake up? He rarely is out of his room at this time on—"

"Shoko! You have become quiet chatty!" Gojo turned to the girl now pinching her cheeks stretching her face causing the rest of the group to laugh.

As Shoko groaned, Kanae nudged his knee under the table. "Knock it off!" She muttered as he reluctantly released Shoko.

He propped his head on his hand that rested on the table now staring straight at Kanae who sat directly across from him. "You sure seem to enjoy getting involved with my private matters! Should I pinch your cheeks too?"

"I rather you not."

Before leaving the dorms, Kanae had cleaned up and changed her fit. She was in a simple white tee and straight blue jeans. The pants sheltered the top of her white court sneakers. Instead of leaving her hair down, she had combed her hair into a ponytail. If she had kept her hair untied, Gojo might have question if he could have even faced her. It wasn't that he hadn't seen a woman with long hair before, but her reluctance when it came to his charm made her more interesting than the rest.

Shoko rubbed her cheeks getting a glare from the two. "You guys act like an old married couple. You sure you guys just met?"

"I guess it's perfect you guys are neighbouring in the dorms then!" Haibara announced and Kanae shook her head.

"I wish you or Nanami were my neighbours." She glanced at the two on opposite sides of her. "Gojo is...well he sure is something alright." She threw away her words noticing his intimidating glare.

Gojo rolled his eyes slightly nudging his knee into hers under the table. "I'll have you eat those words."

"Old married couple." Nanami nodded at the two gaining a set of glares as well.

Geto rested his glass onto the table. "If we came here to celebrate Kanae, why don't we get to know each other better?" Strange stares translated throughout the table. "What the hell are you guys looking at?"

"Kanae?" Gojo raised an eye brow shifting his glance between the girl and Geto. "When did this happen?"

Although his best friend, Geto was timid when it came to interaction with women. When ever a woman approached him, he was always cold as he never knew the right way to answer. But now he was on a first name basis with Kanae? It made Gojo's glare on his friend intensify as he rolled his eyes.
