From Hatred to Harmony // a Satosugu school AU

Chapter 18

Why did Geto ever trust that man? No, he wouldn't even call it trust. To be honest, he wouldn't even call that a friendship. But who knew he would be so heartbroken after this? Of course they would leave him, like everyone in his life does. Except Shoko. Why did this one hurt the most? Maybe because this one was about his first ever crush, the one who actually gave him a little bit of company.

Wow, he didn't know he could feel this pathetic. Should he really be thinking this? He was wayout of Gojo's league at the first place, he was a very famous person. Well, Geto supposed he was too, but he only got famous all thanks to Gojo.

He still had a little bit of hope. A tiny bit of hope that he might apologise, explain why he did such things, tell him he was lying. He wanted some sense of comfort from him. He wanted just the tiniest spark of hope. Gosh, he sounds so cringe. But he doesn't care anymore. He just wants a tiny bit of hope.

"I did it." Gojo stormed back into the house and slammed his fist down on the table. His dad, unfazed by his actions, smiled at him. "I did it alright, so can I go back now?" Gojo continued, watching his father's every movement.

He hadn't planned this. He didn't want to hurt Geto. Was he even hurt though? Besides, Gojo was the one that actually took it seriously and decided to go for the kiss. Geto probably thought it was a joke. But he couldn't help but wonder what his reaction would be. He obviously didn't want to hurt him, his dad forced him to make that video.

He wished his dad didn't care about him. Well, he doesnt. But he wanted him to stay out of his life. What was wrong with liking men? What was wrong with kissing someone? It was honestly so weird. He was only a teenager, he could get into some sort of romance, no? So what if he was a famous person, couldn't he just find some romance?

"No. Besides, where would you go back to?" His dad cut his train of thought. Gojo squinted his eyes.

"Where i would go back to? What do you mean? It's obviously the trip!" He snapped. No way he was going to stay here. It was a torturous 10 years in here. 10 years is enough to get the hell out of the wretched home.

"This, is your home, Satoru." He said simply. "Not the school. You're not going to the dormitory any more this year, as well. We've already made the adjustments."

"What-" Gojo was left speechless. He really just tossed aside everything Gojo had worked for. It wasn't his dad that was making the money, he was making minions every month, why would he have the authority to change how he was living? This was one of the reasons why he hated his dad, he never gave him any freedom. He was literally a celebrity, with millions and millions of fans, but they never knew that he was being controlled by his so-called father. Gojo. He hated this name. he wished he could just change it to something else, so that he didn't have to share his name with his father's.

He didn't have time to tell anything to his father. He couldn't bring himself to speak up against him. he was still sort of scared of him, after all. How pathetic is he?

Fuck his dad. But not literally. Ahem. Anyway.

Geto started at his phone, looking at the person who was calling him. It was Shoko, so we decided to pick up.

He didn't want to worry her.

"Geto." She said the second he picked up. "Listen. I'm sure he was lying. I mean, I'm certain he didn't mean it. He really did have interest in you-"

"I know you're trying to comfort me. But I'm fine." Geto sighed. If this was in real life, she could've definitely tell he wasn't so good. But he was good at lying on phones. He supposed.

"Are you sure?" Shoko sounded sincere, and for once he wished she was by his side. Shoko was the only person ever with him, no one else really paid enough attention to him. Except for Gojo. Forget him.

Maybe coming to the school was a mistake. Yes, he did get into the school because he wanted to support his family and get a great job. But he didn't have the mindset to stay in the school. His parents would understand. He'll go to a prestigious school, but now as fancy as Jujutsu High School. Maybe he could join Kyoto high school or something.

He'd been thinking about it for a while, to be honest. The school is less pressuring, and with all the celebrities and all out of the picture the school was a good place for geniuses like Geto. Yeah, it would be nicer without Gojo.

"Yes. Also, I'm planning on moving schools. And before you say anything, it's because the work is too much. I'm fine okay? Don't worry Shoko." With a smile to no one in particular, he reached for his phone.

"But you said you were one of the top-" and that was the end of the call.

He didnt want to upset shoko. So why couldn't he just cut off all connections?

So that the rumors disappear. Nothing personal, totally.

Gojo didn't come back to the hotel room for the rest of the day. And the rest of the day turned into the rest of the trip. Wow, it looks like he really was avoiding him. He shouldn't have expected much anyways, he did think that he would stay away from him now. Besides, he wouldn't want this person to ruin his perfect career.

The more he thinks about him, the more he regrets asking him for a kiss. Why did he ever do that, was he really caught up in that situation?

God. He wished he could just turn back time.

Gojo was desperate now. He wanted a way to communicate with Geto. But he could never find a way, because of his guards (yes, his dad is that much of a shithead), his fans, and especially his father. Eventually, the rumor that they actually just died down, and was accepted as only a false rumor. But also, because of that 'incident', he lost some of his fans. but he never really cared about his numbers. He never really cared about popularity. He just wanted some company. Something that actually supported him. Someone who wouldn't make him feel lonely. And that is- was, Geto.

Speaking of Geto, it seemed like he disappeared off the surface. He didn't see him for about the entire trip.

He never saw him at school either, maybe Geto changed his classes, or maybe he left at school completely. He wanted to talk to him, did he really not have his number? He regrets every moment of being mean to him, treating him like a normal person. When he's clearly not.

It felt like.. all connections with Geto was disappearing.

Was this really the end?

Of them? 

It can't be..
