9. Twisted by your presence

Gojo and Utahime are back sleeping in the same bed after months. As if it is all natural, they stick up to each other all night. For the first time, Utahime doesn't feel anxious going to sleep, and Gojo gets his much needed rest in a long time

The ring of his phone is what shakes Gojo up. He groans for his sleep being interrupted by the insolent caller. Gojo reluctantly lets go of Utahime and grabs his phone from the nightstand. He sits on the bed and picks up, voice lazy as ever

"Weekend is my only day off, don't bother me"

"..."

"Find someone else. I'm hanging up—"

"..."

His brain starts freshening up as well as his eyes. Gojo begins to pick up the weight of their conversation. "Who else?"

"..."

"It is that serious, huh?", hums. "Fine, I'll take care of it"

BEEP!

Gojo deeply inhales, then exhales. He glances over his shoulder at Utahime who is still fast asleep. He crawls over to her and leans in, kissing her temple

"Ngh~", she whines. She flips on her side and dips back to sleep again

Gojo chuckles. Thankfully what he did is not enough to wake her up. His hand hesitantly brushes over her bump. "Take care of your mom while I'm not around. I'll be back soon", he whispers

Gojo goes to take a shower and gets ready for work

Utahime rolls to the other side and she instantly seeks Gojo's presence. The space next to her is cold and empty, forcing Utahime to wake up

"Gojo?", she calls hoarsely

Utahime gets up when there is no answer. She throws her legs over the bed edge and shuffles out of the room, rubbing her sleepy eyes

"Gojo, what are you doing?", she walks up to Gojo who is in the kitchen

It is literally 7 in the morning and he is already wide awake. Not to mention it's weekend, but Gojo is wearing his working uniform

"Morning, Utahime", Gojo smiles as he greets her good morning

"What is that you are drinking?"

"This?", Gojo nudges at his glass. "It's almond milk"

"Almond milk?", she puffs. "What does it taste like?"

"Do you want some?"

Utahime nods her head

"Alright, wait", Gojo strolls off to take another cup from the rack

Without waiting for Gojo to come back, Utahime takes his glass instead

"Hey, that's mine", Gojo says

Her mouth hovers the rim. "I just want to try some", she then slightly tips the glass to take a sip. "Uhm!", she exclaims

Gojo returns to Utahime's side. "Why? Is it too sweet?"

Utahime shakes her head. "It's just nice. I like it", and proceeds to finish the whole thing. She pours another glass for herself and leaves Gojo with only a few chugs in the jug. "You can have the rest"

Gojo laughs in disbelief. But seeing how much Utahime loves it, makes his heart full. He won't argue with her over some milk

"I see you are wearing your uniform. Did they call you?", she guesses

"Hmm, yeah"

Utahime is hoping for a no, to be honest

"You were still pretty much asleep when the order came in. I thought about leaving you a note", he chuckles
