"Class Dismissed!" Gojo clapped his hands together cheerfully and the students got up their seats

"Bye Gojo-Sensei!" Itadori waved as he left the classroom with a big smile, his cheeks full
"Bye Yuji" his teacher replied

Nobara nodded quietly and stepped behind him.  Megumi didn't say nor do anything but he didn't seem particularly mad.  As they left the classroom, they all started a conversation and left to their dormitories- letting the room fill up with complete and utter silence

Gojo was left standing there, and you were the first one to make a move; walking across room and looking out the window

He looked over at you, not saying anything
"Are you always that bubbly?" You ask, feeling him stand not that far behind you

He let out a soft chuckle, "It's better than being a mean teacher, and besides they love it!"
You turn back at him, raising an eyebrow
"Are you sure about that?"
Gojo paused.  "Well I like to think so, don't ruin it for me" he crossed his arms

"And well, what do you think of my students?" Gojo asked, his pink lips curving upwards, his head tilting slightly over to you

"I can see that their differences together create something; special.  Although, it'll take a lot more time with them to know them like you do"

"Well of course... also L/n" his voice pitches down to a more softer turn, earning your gaze directly

"Yes?"

"Would you like to look around the school.  It's been years since you set foot into this place.  I can only imagine you wanting to see, for the nostalgia" 

Your lips part slightly, inhaling quietly.  "Well now that you mention it, the idea doesn't seem so bad"

"I'll leave you to it then. If you need me, I'll be at Yaga's office.  You can go to him later, I'm sure he'll be there"

"Alright.  Thank you, Gojo" your voice is monotone, a calm aura embracing you

He motions you out the door with one hand, a gesture.  You eye him for a second- modesty didn't suit him.  You and him playing respectful adults didn't overshadow the fact that the air between you two crackled with nothing but unspoken words of tension

Before you knew it, his tall figure had left the hallway before you turned back around to take a look, you simply shrugged it off

The world felt completely silence, nothing but the song of the chirping birds and the sounds of cold wind passing by to whisper secrets to your ear. The sun was especially bright today, it highlighted the beauty of the fallen snow from the night before

You made it to your old classroom, not that far down the hallway.  The sun rays made their way onto the wooden floor and the curtains ruffled with anticipation. You couldn't help but feel tingly inside, a smile creeping up to your lips

Walking your way over to the empty desks, you hummed to yourself.  Your hands gently touched over the desks.  Once again, the vision of young Nanami, Haibara, and you taking over as you stared into the three desks in the front row

Blinking out of it, your eyes move on elsewhere- at the back corner of the classroom.  That one desk with no chair, placed right alongside the wall, was still there-all alone.  You couldn't help but let out a small laugh and shake your head, vividly remembering

"I wonder if-"

You slightly lower your body, letting your hand under the desk, patting around the bottom side of the desk until you are found with the target.  To your surprise, it really was there.  Your crouch down and carefully take the paper stuck with a flimsy piece of tape
