A Suguru Geto Romance - His Light

5 - Cold shoulder

Geto and Gojo met up with the others, at the enterance of the school just before their curfew time. Gojo clutching the bag of take out in one hand and his ice creams in the other.

Taking the bag from him, Geto decided to drop it off at Yaga's office. Seeing as how Gojo's ice creams would melt by then.

The rest of the group turned in for an early night. Geto felt someone behind him and tensed. He turned to find Akari standing behind him, smiling sweetly.
"Mind if I join?" She asked shyly. He just smiled, shaking his head, "I don't mind," he smiled back.

The two of them fell into step, walking slower, "So where about are you from?"

He asked, watching her curiously. She gave the name of the boarding school she was from. He nodded, realizing she's alot more independent and would be used to Jujutsu High in no time. "So, if this isn't too rude... what are your abilties?" He asked eager to know about her.

She stiffened at that but played it off, "You'll see soon, I'll keep it a surprise for you," she said winking. It made Geto's heart trip and begin beating rapidly.
Just then Geto's phone buzzed. Checking the sender, he saw it was Yaga.

Yaga: Where are you? Need food!!! 😩🍗

Geto: On my way to your office Sensei.

Yaga: Ok👍

Putting his phone back in his pocket, Geto turned to Akari, "I'd better get this to Yaga Sensei, before he throws a tantrum." He said pointing a finger at the direction of Yaga's office.
Laughing lightly, she nodded saying, "I'll catch up." Geto smiled, and jogged off, to drop of the take out.

Akari's face turned grave. Geto asked her something she couldn't share with him. She was on her way to talk to Yaga, and found Geto. It seemed like a double win. But soon after she regretted it. She had something to talk to him about.

She soon met up with Yaga, but Geto wasn't there. She knocked the office door. Entering, Yaga looked surprised. "Adjusting well?" He asked, gruff voice filled with concern. "Yeah, only next time, for future reference, give your students a tour and then show them to the rooms. I got hopelessly lost yesterday. If it wasn't for Gojo-san I would be still lost!" She laughed.

"Everyone here is nice though. They helpful and I got to know them better tonight - Geto is so kind and amazing..." she said the last part unconsciously, in a whisper loud enough for Yaga to hear anyway.

"Suguru is one of the strongest, he's a force to be reckoned with. Sometimes we forget that he's just a second year. His power exceeds that. You can learn alot from him." Yaga said, smiling lightly.

She nodded, excusing herself. Stepping out she bumped into Geto once again. He was standing out side against the wall of the office. "Did he hear our conversation?" She asked herself.

Geto looked at her, with emotion filled eyes. "Shall we go back?" He asked sweetly. Akari nodded. The two of them strolled back, the lamps lit by then, lighting the path up. "My technique isn't exactly the most amazing, I don't like talking about it much..." she began, needing to explain to Geto.

"Like mine is," he said sarcastically, chuckling. "I absorb cursed spirits. That allows me to manipulate them and use them to my advantage." He said, expanding on his explanation. Hid voice was soft and calm. A warm breeze, melodious hum.

"Absorb? Like how?" She asked gesturing, questioningly with her hands. Geto shook his head, pointing to his mouth. "You swallow them?" She asked shocked and dismayed. He nodded silently.
