RETRY / G. SATORU

08

" WHAT'S WRONG? "

you asked as you confusedly looked at satoru, who suddenly paused midway during your sparring. "don't tell me you got scared of me?" you snickered at yourself, knowing full damn well— that wasn't the reason.

you were strong. but satoru gojo is just on another level. he's beyond powerfull. so strong, that it gets a little too annoying. "hey don't ignore me now. you were the one iniated this sparring!" you shouted as he continued looking down on the ground.

you clicked your tongue and started tapping your feet, startting to get impatient from his sudden silent.

"you..." satoru finally let out, his face looking so gloomy as he asked, "where did you learn all of those steps?"

all of your hair suddenly went up, as if a ghost just walk passed you. you gulped down and bit your lower lips.

his voice was so cold to the point it send shivers in your spines. "someone who is so good." you shrugged and then proceeded to act, "i don't really wanna talk about her since she's dead. remembering her makes me sad ya'know."

you laughed at your "made up lie", while satoru remained stoic as ever. you never imagine a day will come wherein satoru would look at you that way; a look that is raging with anger. i mean. yes you already saw his angered expression, but it was never directed to you.

"what?" you waved at him, still acting so casual towards him.

but when he still remained quiet. that's when you started mentally regretting your actions. "maybe i should have change my fighting style..." you whispered to yourself.

when satoru asked you to spar with him, you got excited and thought that maybe you should give his life a little bit of an exitement? that's why, purposuely for fun, you decided to fight with how you usually fight when your in your old body.

obviously, aside from the fact the gojo satoru is your fucking best friend that you weekly spar with back then, your fighting style was unique and can only be pulled off you.

therefore it woudn't be weird for satoru to recognized your fighting style.

you jumped a little when satoru scoffed and started laughing hystrically. "uhmm..." you gave him a weird look as you watch him stared at you, with a bewilred expression plastered all over his face, "aaa, you really are interesting."

" OH? I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN
A WHILE! " the old lady who owns the restaurant, greeted satoru with a big smile.

"and oh? who's this beautiful lady beside you." the lady asked as she looked at you. that made you wanna cry internally. you never knew a day would come wherein this old lady wouldn't recognize you.

after all, you were her number 1 and favorite costumer! you used to come here everday, and sometimes with satoru. yet right now, she's looking at you with unfamillairty and contempt evident in her eyes.

"hello, it's nice to meet you." you beamed a smile towards the old lady before she nodded at you and turned to satoru.

gosh. it should have been you making small talks with her, but now it's satoru gojo. he stoled your spotlight. and since the old lady seems awkward with you, you decided not to join their conversation and find yourself a seat.

as you were sitting, you can't help but eavesdrops to them. after all, you have nothing to do and they talk too loud.

"where's { yn }? she didn't come with you?" the old lady asked, as you froze. 'what the— she doesnt know i'm dead?!'

"the last time, i saw her was 8 months ago. even you! you two suddenly stopped coming to my restaurant! you made this old lady worry so much."

you cough awkwardly, and glanced at satoru who was smilling so bitterly.

he didn't gave her reply, which angered the old lady more, "stop smiling, and give me some proper response! although you better not tell me that the reason you two stop coming here was because you found another place to have your dates?!"

that made you choke. you stared at satoru, hoping he would deny it but,

"hehe sorry."

'what the— THIS FUCKING BASTARD! why did he apologized?! that just made us look so pathetic, and dating?!'

the old lady kicked his foot and pinched his arm, "i can't believe you two!? tell me what restaurant replaced me?! and oh, you better tell that { yn } kid, to never ever come here again or else she's dead!"

"i'm already dead though..." you looked away, not wanting to witness her rage anymore. since you were too far away, you weren't able to hear the small whisper satoru said under his breathe,

"how i wish i could tell her that."
