|POLARITY| Gojo Satoru x Reader

43.

Y/n POV

Perhaps Satoru sheltered them from the Jujutsu society and everything that's usually done under the table; people were never secretive about the situation I was in. I don't understand why they seem so troubled by it. My energy seeps through my hand as I focus it on his cheek.

"Is that better, Yuji?" I ask, checking that the redness is fully gone. Nobara didn't hold back on that slap... His cheeks still look a little red as he nods; I don't think that is because of the slap.

Is he embarrassed?

"Good," I say. Maybe I should address what they were talking about, to ease their minds or answer any doubts. "Kids..."

"What do you think about the house? Should I get it?" Gojo interrupts, leaning on me as if I was a cane. I would think he isn't aware of what is going on if it weren't for the small glance he gives me. When was it I started to know what he was thinking with just a look at him?

The house is everything I ever dreamed of, maybe even more than I could imagine, maybe a little bigger than I would get, but it truly is beautiful; it looks peaceful. "If you don't get it, I will." I look back at the window; the garden outside seems like a picture you would find in a gallery.

"This house, it's too big for one person," Megumi's voice makes me look back.

He has a point; even if Gojo didn't buy it and I did, it would be too much for me to maintain. Megumi locks eyes with Satoru, and I feel something connect in my brain.

"Megumi..." Gojo stops leaning on me and hugs him. "I knew you had it in you. You are right." I feel a shiver go down my back as Gojo peeks at me.

Are they conspiring against me now?

"Then if Y/n wants it and Mr. Gojo likes it too..." Yuji looks up at me. "Why not be roommates? The house has enough rooms for all five of us."

"Five? No, no. Yuji, look at me," Gojo takes his sunglasses off; why does it look like it's in slow motion? "A person like me has needs. I need my studio, maybe even a piano room. I could only spare a room or two." He shrugs. "Sorry, kids."

He plays the piano?

"Do you play the piano, Satoru?" I ask, looking down the hall to the rest of the house.

"Well, no, but I could," he smirks. He is really different when we are around our students. Usually I feel like I am the one being taken care of until I see him with anyone else. Then I feel like I need to take care of him more than the actual adolescents that follow him around. "So what do you think, Y/n? I think it's a great idea. We both get exactly what we wan't."

It is really pretty. But even though I would never say it out loud, I don't want to stop coming home to him either... I look away as I remember his words. "I don't want you to leave... ever." That's not something I can ignore; not when it tugs on strings I wasn't aware I could have. I'm not dumb enough to not notice the weird looks they all share. For whatever reason, they all seem to be trying to make me move in with Satoru. I thought he was just joking around. That there was no way he would... God, what am I thinking?

Satoru would never be the type of person to have feelings for the one person he shouldn't like.

"Y/n?" Satoru says my name behind me, making me snap out of my thoughts. I don't want to turn around. I feel like if I look at him, I might just agree.

"I don't know, what if... either you or I want to bring someone over?" His smile falters as I say it.

I can see it, this small change in the way he looks at me. I should probably change the subject.

"Bring someone over?" His voice sounds exactly like every day, so why did the hair on my neck stand up?

"We are gonna check the pond out front." I turn around to see Megumi dragging Nobara and Yuji out the door. Don't leave me here, traitor. Nobara and Yuji don't fight it at all, their feet basically dragging, I look at how Nobara waves goodbye while... Why is Yuji saluting me?

"I want to see the pond too..." I walk to the door until I feel his hand grab my wrist, my heart dropping a bit.

"Grown-ups should stay; there are things we have to discuss." I stand still looking at the hand that appears from behind me shutting the door in front of me."Have someone over, Y/n?" I don't want to look back as I feel something playing with a strand of my hair. "Who?"

"I was just saying..." The prickly feeling in my head as he touches my hair is distracting me. "I don't know if it's the best idea for two adults to live together when..." I pause as I try to think of what to say.

"When what?" He circles around me until he is in front of me. My hair falls from his hands as I look up to see him. Shit... why is he so close. His blue eyes are like magnets, making me want to get lost on them, a trap.

God, I must be sick in the head.

"It's weird for us to live together, Satoru... it's not like-." I gulp, not knowing if I should say it.

"Like what?" He tilts down until his eyes are at the same level as mine. I feel like his eyes are looking at more than I want him to see, like he knows how fast my heart is starting to beat. I switch the polarity of my cells, and I see his eyes light up.

Fuck he noticed.

"... like there was something." I don't finish my words as his eyes change to an almost mocking look, his eyebrow raising as he tilts his head.

"Between us? Is that what you were going to say?" I can't look away... Why the fuck am I not looking away.

"Like there is nothing between us?" He stands up straight, towering over me. "Do you really believe that?"

He takes a step closer.

His hand goes to my chin, making me look up at him before grinning into the most deadly smile I have ever seen. "You couldn't even say it." Shit shit shit. Ah fuck..... Okay. No, not okay, at all.

I have officially lost my mind.

"There are other things..." Look away... look away.

"Is there now? What other things concern that brain of yours Y/n" I can't think. "I'll deal with that too."

As his eyes look at my lips I am tempted to look at his, I have never felt this sort of tension before, the beat irradiating from his skin as he teases me, his hand still on my chin before sliding down to my neck.

"Words... Y/n" He whispers and when I feel like I'm almost in this trance I can't let go off I hear a thump.

I look at the door as I hear another creak behind it.

Satoru breathes in deeply before opening the door, making 3 bodies fall to the floor.

"Back so soon?" Gojo says as he picks them up.

Why the fuck am I dissappointed.

I'm sick.
