FACADE

Chapter 4

You slowly walk out the room to see Gojo standing at the end of the hallway, leaning against the wall. You relax your eyes and sigh as you slowly approach him.

"What's with the face?" He asks, smiling at you. You slowly shake your head and look away. Gojo stares at you a bit before turning around and walking down the hall.

"You said I have a cursed technique?"  You calmly ask, following behind him.

"Yes." 

"What's a cursed technique?" Gojo stops walking and slowly looks at you.

"It's an ability that's fueled by cursed energy..." He softly answers. You furrow your eyebrows and tilt your head a bit. He smiles at you and sighs. "Just come-"

You're sitting down on a couch waiting for Gojo to return. You slowly pull out the phone in your pocket checking to see if anyone has messaged you.

"Nothing... of course..." You sigh quietly.

"Interesting screensaver you've got there..." Gojo sooths into your ear. You flinch and look behind you. He softly smiles at you.

"Why do you keep sneaking up behind me like that..." You murmur. 

"I like scaring you~" He coos. You squint your eyes at him. He stands up straight and walks in front of you, holding a jar. Your eyes widen as you look at what's in the jar. The creature in the jar turns its head and looks at you. Its eyes are bulging out of it. Jeez its ugly... You think to yourself. "Do you know what this is?" He asks, moving closer to you. You slowly shake your head.

"It's like one of those creatures I saw that one time- when those monsters attacked me." You slowly say as you point at the jar. Gojo stares at you for a bit before nodding. 

"Well- yes. This is that- It's called a curse though. Not a cReAtUrE..." He says handing the jar to you. You take the jar and look closer at it.

"A curse?"

"Mhm..." He hums. You place your hand on the jar lid. He watches as you unscrew the jar. The curse grabs onto you and sticks to your hand. You furrow your eyebrows as you watch the curse snuggle into your hand. "Hold your hand out like this-" He moves his hand out whereas his palm is facing up. You do as he says, and he stares down at your hand. The curse makes a vibrating noise as it rests in your hand. "It's almost like it likes you-"

"It's kinda cute now that I'm looking at it." You softly say. You slowly look up at Gojo who's making a grossed-out face. "What?" You question wondering what the face is for.

"You have a strange taste in what you find cute... or good enough to be on your screensaver..."

"What's wrong with my screensaver?" You huff. Gojo smiles at you.

"Nothing~" You squint your eyes at him and slowly look back at the curse in your hand. For some reason it looks a lot bigger than it did before.

"It's bigger."

"Yeah-" He takes the jar and makes you push the curse back in it. He seals up the jar and walks passed the couch, out of your view of sight.

"What was the point of that?" You slowly say looking behind you to see Gojo gone. "The fuck?" You furrow your eyebrows looking around the room. "He disappeared..." You sit back down and pick your phone back up. You stare at the phone screen wondering what was wrong with your screensaver.

"If I remember... you healed Megumi just by touching him..." You flinch again to Gojo's voice. He walks beside you, holding a knife. 

"Why do you have a knife in your hand?"
