the honoured and the fallen | gojo satoru x reader

complete

you slowly run your hands through the talisman wondering if it would be a good idea to let yourself use your cursed energy again. doubts and fears ran through your head.

and when satoru came back carrying an unconscious pink haired boy with megumi looking like he fell from a mountaintop you found yourself wanting to tap back into your technique. to protect these people.

but was your reason different than the one you had when you decided to follow suguru? after all, you left them and tread down a very very bloody path to protect them in the first place didn't you?

to try to create a world where sorcerers wouldn't have to sacrifice themselves to protect other section of weak people.

you force yourself to swallow down your own thoughts and focus on the problem at hand.

satoru had asked you to kindly check up on megumi while he took care of the pink haired boy so here you were, knocking on megumi's dorm with snacks and drinks.

“y/n-san?”
“hey gumi. boy you do look battered up.” you tease him earning yourself an indifferent glare.
“that's what gojo sensei said… please come in”

you walked into his dorm, it was very neat and clean.
“you're very responsible aren't you?” you chuckle.
“i try”

he sat on his bed and you follow suit, holding out a snack to him which he accepted thankfully. you place the other snacks on the table next to his bed and sat down beside him.

“so what happened?”
megumi frowned and sighed lightly before answering.
“remember that boy we came with?”

“yeah what's up with him too?”
“he ate sukuna's finger”
“what???”

“yeah. apparently he became a vessel for sukuna and now the higher ups want to execute him. i don't know what gojo sensei is thinking but when i asked him to do something about the execution he told me not to worry.”

you blink in disbelief at the information handed to you.
“how did he end up eating the finger in the first place?”

megumi sighed again “it's my fault. i wasn't strong enough.”
“hey don't say that” you pat his back reassuringly.

“it is true though. there was a curse that was after the finger as well and i couldn't exorcise it in time so itadori ate it and now he's going to be executed. if only i was…”

“you are strong” you cut him off “it's the higher ups’ fault for tasking you with something as grand as sukuna's finger especially with the curses that are after it. it's not your fault. even grade 1 sorcerers would have trouble with it.”

megumi nodded, still seeming a bit unconvinced.
“you'll only grow stronger gumi. don't be so hard on yourself over this hm?”
megumi smiled. an actual smile.

“thankyou y/n sensei”
“oh it's sensei now?” you chuckle as megumi rolled his eyes.

“you know, i used to blame myself back when i was a student too. for not being strong enough” you smile.
“but gojo sensei said you were strong”

“he did?”
megumi nods and it made your heart flutters a little bit at the thought of satoru talking about you to megumi.

you smile to yourself and megumi raised his brows questioningly. you waved him off as you both heard a knock on his door.

“oh? fushiguro! you're all better now” the pink haired boy beamed as you both walked out of his room. “and…” he looked at you curiously.

“hi im y/n. itadori right?”
“yes! im itadori yuji nice to meet you y/n sensei!” he bowed politely and you couldn't help but chuckle. satoru watched the interaction and his heart clenches, not that he'd let you know.

yuji brushed past you and glanced into megumi's room marvelling about how neat it was as megumi slammed the door on his face and grumbled to satoru about how he could've given him a room further away from his own.

this only confirmed how much megumi trusted you and liked you enough to let you in his personal space and it warmed your heart immensely.

“oh yeah we're going out tomorrow, we're meeting the third first year” satoru beamed.

the next day, the four of you head to harajuku since the final student wanted to meet there. you weren't given much information about it, only that it was a girl.

at a distance there she was, asking an agent if they would want her to be a model. you admired her confidence and chuckle when megumi and yuji mumbled about how embarrassing she was.

“you know, i should hide you what if he actually does want to scout you?” satoru whispered lowly and teasingly. you roll your eyes at him but your heart definitely hammered.

with the addition of the new student, nobara kugisaki, the new first years were finally complete. they reminded you of the time when you were a student and if your heart ached a little at that, you chose to ignore.

satoru took you guys to an abandoned building to exorcise a low grade curse. this was mainly to test nobara and also to see yuji in action.

a veil was lowered and gojo, megumi and you waited outside as the duo went to do their mission. after some time had passed, a curse broke out from one of the windows.

“I'll exorcise it” megumi got ready but gojo stopped him saying to trust them. sure enough, some sort of metal pierced the curse and it disappeared even before it could hit the ground.

“women sure are scary” gojo chuckled as you shot him a glare and he shrugged as if you just proved his point.

after the mission was done, the students managed to convince satoru to treat them to sushi.

simple moments like this made you wonder how things would be like if suguru hadn't deflected at all. would you be a teacher here along with your friends?

would you have been trying to save the world one curse at a time? would you and satoru become closer than you are now? would you have been happy?

“what are you thinking about?” satoru's voice had pulled you away from your thoughts. the three first years were walking in front bragging about the mission earlier and teasing megumi for being grumpy because he didn't get to participate.

satoru and you walked behind them, the gradient of the sunset made the sky beautiful.
“nothing much.” you smile to him.

satoru smiled back and there it was again, the warm feeling in your stomach. his hand brushed against yours while you both walked towards the school.

a detail you force yourself to ignore.

“oh yeah, before i forget, i have a mission abroad tomorrow. i’ll be gone for a few days.” satoru said wryly.

“and i suppose im not coming along again?”
satoru nods at this “not because i dont want you with me. i have a favour to ask actually.”

the students had already entered the school after a wave of goodbyes. satoru and you stood in front of the school gates.
“yeah sure what is it?”

“can you look after the students for me while i’m gone?”
“of course.”
satoru smiled “good because i dont trust anybody else.”

he closes the distance between you both and gently caress your face. a touch so soft you could barely tell.

“see you soon?”
you nod, clearly too much in a daze to answer.

satoru chuckled “use your words darling.”
your fist found itself on his stomach as he stumbled back slightly “ow??”

“weak ass!” you shot him daggers with your glare. “and stop teasing me” you rush towards your dorm praying he doesn't see your flustered face.

“why not?? you like it don't you?” he called, thankfully not following you. however you could hear the teasing in his tone and a part of you wished he was serious.

“gojo satoru i fucking hate you.”

no you don't.
