Limitless ✩ Gojo Satoru

Chapter Eighteen ✩ Karaoke

As just a few days passed since Gojo's birthday, life felt dull. He barely saw Kanae as he was busy on missions with Geto. He wasn't complaining as that was his best friend. But he would be lying if he said he didn't feel lethargic.

Time got a knack out of speeding up when you were enjoying yourself. Though as soon as you were bored, those were going to be the longest moments of your life.

He missed her presence.

"I had no clue that Kanae and Geto weren't a couple! I just thought she was being stubborn!"

Currently in Geto's room, the two best friends were having a simple talk with Haibara. The fabricated rumours from that night had created unusual tensions in the group.

Now when coming in contact with Kanae, Geto was self-conscious of how he addressed her. It wasn't something he ever thought of before, but noticing her own awkwardness to him, she had felt the same. For Gojo, it was the same with Utahime and their interactions. Did he laugh too loudly? Was his wave a bit too animated? Was smiling at her failures with all thirty-two of his teeth too much? It was ridiculous to think about.

"All you had to do was listen to Kanae. She told you multiple times to drop it." Geto reminded Haibara. "Do you ever hear yourself sometimes?"

He crossed his arms keeping a firm stance staring at the usually positive boy sitting on his bed. Sometimes that positivity and passion he had would ricochet and create the opposite effect. This was purely how naive he could be.

"What's with this interrogation? I just wanted to play Cupid!" As he admitted that, the gazes of Gojo and Geto intensified as their tall figures hunched over with narrowing eyes. A nervous laugh slipped out of Haibara's mouth as he began to notice the impatience radiating off the two.

"Cupid is not going to force Snow White to get with one of her seven dwarves just because she's around them. Your justification is stupid, idiot." Gojo snapped.

At the corner of his eye, Geto glanced at him. "That's a stupid example."

"If you are saying that, you got the point!" Gojo turned to his friend now raising his voice.

It was clear he was frustrated by this whole situation. Everything about it disturbed him, and he despised how ignorant Haibara was being.

"Okay! I understand how clueless I was being. That's why I planned this whole karaoke thing for us today! It's my huge apology for Kanae and we can all just share good vibes around each other." Haibara grinned with his passionate eyes. "You guys can seriously relax now!"

"I'm not relaxed! What happens if you start staring at Nanami and Kanae's friendship different? Are you going to play Cupid then too?" Gojo taunted as Haibara began to frantically wave.

"No! Of course not! I just want her to be happy with someone." His grew softer. He clearly had a soft spot for Kanae and wanted nothing but the best for her. "Geto would be perfect for her. He would bring stability and he would compliment her fiery attitude. I mean I did originally think of you Gojo after your whole fake dating thing, but you just don't seem like her type."

He gritted his teeth arching closer. "What's that suppose to mean?!"

Those words stung Gojo. Haibara and Nanami had known Kanae for longer than he had, and she was often around them. They had probably understood her personality more than he had as well. What was her type anyways?

It had to be him...right?

Haibara tilted his head at Gojo scrunching his face. "Sure you are pretty and strong, but you don't know how to treat a girl. You are too selfish to be selfless in a relationship."
