Tw: suicidal thoughts

— T-Minus 3 days before they meet —

Gojo blinked. Wow, did he really just think that? Did he seriously just try to self harm? Him, who did modelling about three times a week? He wouldn't afford to have marks on his arm, or any injuries on his body.

He furrowed his eyebrows the 20th time that day. Thinking about the purple eyed beauty, of course.

"I'm so messed up without you, Suguru." He murmured, getting away from the kitchen and sitting down on the couch. He missed him. He missed his smile, his eyes, his voice. He would never stop saying it. "Suguru, Suguru, Suguru."

He wondered how he was spending his life, he wondered if he was happy without him. If he even remembered him. Because Gojo couldn't live without him. He certainly wouldn't, considering his previous thoughts. He would stay strong, for his Suguru. For his return. For his embrace. Will there even be another meeting?

"A cappuccino, a salted caramel cookie and a tropical smoothie?" The customer nodded, satisfied with his response. "Coming right up, please wait around! Your order number is 26." Geto addressed the man towards the pick up area. He put on his best customer smile and took in the orders of the next person.

Smiling was the best way to make sure no one knew his feelings. They didn't even need to know, those monkeys didn't even need to know what his name was. He didn't need to show anyone anything.

Gojo still occasionally appeared on his mind. He was still there. He still held some feelings for that lad, and he was always annoyed about it. It has been 7 years, he told himself. It's enough time to stop holding any emotions for him.

The bell rung again, and Geto flashed his smile, but his eyes not smiling.

"Welcome!" Geto spoke, his voice sapping with fake enthusiasm.

Another day another annoying customer. The women obviously blushing when they saw Geto, obviously charmed by Geto. One of the most popular cafes in the area, all because of Geto. And Geto hated it. He hated the attention and hated the way he got asked his number. He hated those monkeys. He didn't care if that insult was racist. Whoops.

"And so, those two assholes are living their worst lives, and I'm stuck in the middle of all that. Geto even told me he called humans monkeys, and added in that he didn't include me and his other friends." Shoko, who became a popular doctor during that seven years, complained to her one and only girlfriend, Utahime. Utahime only chuckled in response, placing her hand on her girlfriend's leg.

"You know, boys will be boys. It's sometimes hard for them to get together, and especially harder since Gojo's such a famous person. You gotta be patient, but I'm quite certain that they will eventually meet up and clear everything up." Utahime smiled encouragingly at her girlfriend, making the other smile a little too.

"Yeah, I really hope they stop being such a coward and actually meet up, it's been seven years and they haven't even gotten over each other." Utahime nodded along, not minding the annoyed chatter from her partner.
