Imprisoned》Attack on Titan: No Regrets

Two

Gojo is used to the heated glares from his universe. The Higher Ups never liked him. They seek power and control, which they could never get with Gojo. He is a powerful jujutsu sorcerer born with the Six Eyes and Limitless technique - even a few curses were afraid to come out because of him. Gojo could walk into any room and could feel their judgy eyes watching his every move.

It felt different with the Ackerman siblings. They don't know Gojo - they don't know him as a sorcerer - so their piercing eyes are more like being wary of a stranger. For some reason, Gojo was relieved. He wanted to laugh. They don't hate him for being a strong sorcerer, he is just a crazy weirdo trying to hug Lucy! Even with her foot on his chest, Gojo felt more at ease.

"Why aren't you answering, you stupid brat?" Lucy sneered. Gojo didn't even realize he was staring at her for too long. He tried to sit up but Lucy added a bit more pressure. She leaned forward, placing her arms on her knees, and glared at him. The look was something Gojo was very familiar with. The look in her eyes is threatening him to tell her the truth or else she's going to stab him. "Who the hell are you?"

"I'm Satoru Gojo," Gojo answered.

"Ok, Satoru Gojo, care to explain what you're doing here?" Lucy's eyes narrowed in suspicion. She saw how he was trying to hug her in those two seconds before she knocked him down. Lucy glanced toward Levi to see the dagger held tightly in his hand. His knuckles were white as he held himself back from murdering Gojo. He was well aware of the way Gojo's eyes brightened when he saw Lucy. Is he a friend? Does he work for the Scouts? Or is he just some pervert trying to fuck his sister?

The difference Levi registered between Gojo and the disgusting pigs is the way he hasn't already tried to pay for Lucy's services. He wasn't mentally undressing her, drooling over her, trying to yank her, getting a bit too grabby with her, and Gojo didn't have this lustful gaze all those filthy slobs have. Levi could practically feel Gojo's longing to be with Lucy, which he doesn't understand if they've just met. And Lucy has no clue who Gojo is either - yet, he claims to be friends with her. The only other person who gives Lucy that kind of look is Farlan, probably the only guy he trusts with his sister.

"I want to join you guys!" Gojo quickly lied on the spot. He thought back about Lucy's story so he could seem more believable. "I've seen you folks train Isabel in the caves the other day and thought, that looks so cool! Where do I sign up?!"

Levi tsked while standing next to Lucy. "You think we're teaching her just to play around?" he asked. "Might as well turn your sorry ass around and get out of here."

"That's not the only reason!" He looked at Lucy. "As much as I love having you stomp on me, would you please get off so I can explain?" She didn't budge. "I'll take that as a no, then." He let out a deep breath. "A few days ago, I saw what you guys did for those kids. I was rather touched if you could believe it. I've heard so much about the thugs from the Underground but my opinion of you changed. I wanted to join you and your cause."

"Awe!" Isabel gushed. "Can we let him join? He seems genuine enough."

"I can make amazing tea," Gojo sang.

Levi looked at Lucy. "I'll let you decide." Mostly because she let him decide about Isabel.

Lucy glanced at Gojo and saw him giving her a puppy dog face. "You can stay for tonight." Gojo smiled. "But I want you out of here by tomorrow morning."

Gojo gawked as Lucy took her foot off him and left to resume her cleaning. Isabel looked at Lucy in disbelief before following her. "But, Lucy. Sister!"

They managed to find a spare room for Gojo, but he couldn't get one wink of sleep. His mind kept wheeling about today. He followed Lucy around like a puppy to persuade her to let him join. Isabel was the only one helping him. Levi had to drag Gojo away so many times that the collar of his shirt stretched a bit due to their height difference.
