Limitless ✩ Gojo Satoru

Chapter Thirty ✩ Trust

The air was frosty, but that didn't stop Gojo and Geto from standing in the backyard of the home. There was nothing but their breathes to be evidence of the cold air.

The night had definitely been intriguing. Probably no where close to how they expected it to go. With Kanae's brother over for dinner, things were definitely more...complicated. As he schmoozed up his family he hadn't seen in a length amount of time, Gojo and Geto felt pushed to the wayside. Well, it gave them more reason to escape the scene even if it was for a few moments.

Geto pondered for a moment as they stood in silence leaning against the fencing of the home. He glanced at Gojo who had his eyes fixed on a window of the home. He was confident it was where Kanae was.

"You should've told her." Geto sighed. "She would've been on board."

To Geto, Kanae wasn't complicated. She was straightforward with how she viewed and committed to things. If Gojo had deduced to unveil their plan to her instead of playing ninja, maybe the situation would be different.

The comment rubbed Gojo the wrong way. Not because it was incorrect, but because he knew it was true. She would've been on board but is it bad that he did want her to enjoy some actual time off? When did he become so...mushy?

"You don't have to keep reminding me. She's pissed at me." He said with a sigh of irritation. His nonchalant demeanour was an obvious facade and that was clear to Geto. No one knew him better than he did.

"I'm not trying to make you feel bad. Just think about how she feels you know. Let's be real Satoru, you aren't as connected with your emotional side." Geto said in a casual tone with a hint of curiosity.

Gojo turned to his best friend with his eyebrow perking up. "What now?! You want me to cry to prove to you I have a heart?"

Geto rolled his eyes. "Thank you for proving my point."

That's not what he had meant, but it shocked him noticing the look of hurt in his friend's eyes. He had been with him for years and there were a handful of situations that gave Gojo that look in his eye. None of them connected to people much. Definitely not girls.

Gosh, who was this person and what did they do with his Gojo?

"She's not pissed. I don't even think she's mad. Maybe confused. She probably wishes you were transparent with her though." Geto reassured him. "Where is she now?"

Gojo glanced back at the window. A curtain was draped over the other side of the glass making it impossible to look into. "She's staying in their guest room. I tried to go up to her but her aunt wagged her finger at me as if I'm going to do something heinous to her."

Geto couldn't help but chuckle glancing at his friend up and down. It was an odd thought that the woman had of Gojo, but could he blame her?

"Yeah she's right."

Gojo furrowed his eyebrows. "What's that suppose to mean?!"

"You know, Kanae has you operating like a normal human being by keeping you at bay. You used to snog whomever you liked, whenever you liked. Now, the lady you want to snog actually has boundaries." Geto commented as the picture of Kanae putting Gojo on a leash manifested in his mind.

"I can't kiss my girlfriend?!" It felt absurd that people were making him seem like some horny demon.

They were probably right...but that's besides the point!

"You can, but you and I both know that being in a room with her alone is bad news. Let's be real now Satoru."

Gojo hadn't really thought of being along and the things he could do with her, but who even knows how she would react.
