"You do realise you guys are kinda doing this backwards, right?"
Shoko had made herself at home in your bed as she watched you rummage through your wardrobe trying to find something to wear for the evening.
You popped your head out from behind the door and shot her an unimpressed look. "Yes I'm fully aware. That doesn't help my now situation though, does it?"
She threw a piece of chocolate into the air, catching it in her mouth. "Just saying.. hey what about that tan aviator jacket you got a few months back. It's ideal!" She pointed her finger to the very end of your closet, the wooly inard of the coat just poking through the array of clothes you had hung up.

You slid it over your shoulder and stood in front of the mirror, yeah that should do.

You'd spent most evenings in the last week around Gojo's apartment, which hadn't gone unnoticed by your roommate. She was happy you were happy but didn't want you both to rush healing old wounds. Suguru sized wounds to be precise.
Luckily Satoru had pinned Shoko down at lunch and planned a double date. It reassured her that this wasn't just going to be sex to get over an ex and that you were both going to consider dating at some point.

You brushed down your outfit and took one final look. You were sporting some high waisted grey leggings that fit snugly round your peachy bum, a white long sleeved pleated jumper, tanned suede Timberland boots and the beige aviator jacket finished the look - but something was missing.

You darted round to your bedside draw, yanking it open and began to rummage.
"You look fine! We literally have to leave in 5 minutes" your friend scoffed, mouth still filled with chocolate.
You ignored her, determined to find the Tiffany necklace that would complete the attire.
Aha!
A glint of sparkling silver caught your eye, it was hidden under a glossy photo that had been turned upside down in the commotion. You pulled the chain out from under the image which flipped it over in the process. It made you instantly stop in your tracks.

Your trembling hands picked it up and soaked it in. It was you and Suguru.
The picture was slightly damaged from being stuck to your wall for such a long time, the sun had bleached it slightly and their were multiple pin holes along the top edge.
The photograph had been taken from a trip to Iceland he'd surprised you with.
You were both dressed in thick winter clothing, northern lights glistened behind you as you passionately kissed underneath it.

"Are you ok?"
Shoko's words broke you free of your trance. You took one last look your former boyfriend before stuffing the image back into your drawer.
"Yes I'm fine, let's go"

Seeing him made you forget all your worries.

"I am not leaving this place until I win you something!" Satoru protested as he clasped your hand in his and pulled you round to the next stall.
Yes.. his big date idea was taking you to a local fair in Kyoto and to be honest, you loved the idea! The night sky was illuminated with the glow of multicoloured fairy lights. The sickly aroma of sugar filled your senses as you walked past candyfloss and powered confectionary stands.
Shoko and the male friend she'd met at the club months prior had accompanied you both to the event, you were actually quite impressed that your friend was still seeing the guy. You made note that needed to get to know him better, he was dating your bestie after all.

A mist of the white sugar glazed over you as you walked past the stand. It almost looked like you were walking through a snow shower, the soft ivory particles landing on your cheeks.
Satoru noticed you'd slowed down so he turned to face you, seeing you close your eyes and inhale the beautiful sweet smells.

Suddenly he pulled you into his chest, the sugar still cascading onto the pair of you. He delicately placed a finger onto your bottom lip and grazed some of the power off revealing the true peachy colour of your bottom lip.
He licked his finger whilst continuing to look into your crimson eyes. "So perfect.." he muttered before leaning in and planting a gentle kiss on your lips.
You felt the heat exude from your cheeks as you met in yet another exchange.

"Get a roooooom!" Shoko heckled from across the dirt covered track

"Get a roooooom!"
Shoko heckled from across the dirt covered track. Satoru lips remained on you, the same couldn't be said for his middle finger though.

Your eyes fluttered open and finally a stuffed bear caught your eye. "Oh my god! I want that one!

"You want a friggen stuffed Sukuna doll?" his face baffled as he neared the vendor. You giggled, jumping on the spot slightly. "Look how kawaii it is!"
The doll was chibi and the cutest darn Sukuna you'd ever seen.
"Fine fine.. whatever the lady wants"
He paid the man for a few attempts at the game which was throwing a weighted ball into a tilted barrel, clearly the attraction was rigged but you were with Satoru Gojo. Let's be real, you were getting that doll.

"Eeeee! It's so cute! Thanks Satoru" you buried your nose into the plushy tattooed face of the king of curses.
"Your so weird y/n" he laughed, wrapping his arm around your waist and pulling you into his side.

"Hey where's Shoko.." he turned to look for his brunette friend but immediately stood frozen instead. You felt his body stiffen which made you look in the direction he was facing.

Across the walk way, buried in the crowd was a dark haired male.
Hair half up in a messy bun and sporting dark baggy clothing.

It's not him. It can't be surely.
