Bound In Love's Curse [Gojo Satoru x Female Readers]

82 ~ Eighty-Two

[Y]ou deliberately avoided his gaze, knowing you wouldn't be able to meet his eyes without feeling embarrassed about indirectly admitting your feelings for him.

This was definitely an ego boost.

"Don't tease me, you jerk."

"Gomen," Gojo chuckled. "It's just so fun messing with you."

You rolled your eyes, your fingers trailing down his face to tease his Adam's apple. The action caught his attention, and you heard him swallow thickly.

"And that scar?" You asked, your fingers traveling lower, tracing the angry mark that ran from the base of his neck across his torso. "Where'd you get that from?"

He sighed heavily, causing you to pause and meet his eyes.

"W-What?" You asked.

"The boy's dad did it. The only one who ever got close enough to hurt me."

"Whoa, not even I got that close huh?" You teased, trying to alleviate the tension in his demeanor.

This seemed to work like magic, as he erupted into another fit of laughter.

"You think you got close enough, huh?" He joked, deliberately leaning in and blowing into your ear.

You shuddered involuntarily, the sensation sending a shiver down your spine.

"Maybe you have, or maybe you haven't. Who knows?" Satoru grinned mischievously.

You merely rolled your eyes at him, sighing. "I'm not in the mood for your teasing."

"Oh? And you're in the mood for what exactly?"

"I don't know," you said, planting a kiss on his cheek and observing him with lidded eyes. "Sleep, like any normal person would."

"Boring."

"I know," you smirked. "Too bad, I'm a boring person after all."

Satoru pouted theatrically, pulling you closer. "You? Boring? Hard to believe."

You snorted softly, resting your head on his chest. "Believe it or not, I need my sleep."

"Fine, fine," he said, running his fingers through your hair. "But don't blame me if you wake up to some mischief in the morning."

"I'll take my chances," you murmured, feeling the warmth of his body and the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. Despite his playful demeanor, there was a comfort in being this close to him.

He chuckled softly, his breath tickling your ear. "Sweet dreams, boring person."

You smiled, feeling content. "Goodnight, Satoru."

Slowly drifting off, you begin to feel a deep sense of gratitude for these moments of peace and intimacy. Just as you were about to fully succumb to sleep, Satoru's voice broke through the haze again.

"You know," he said softly, his tone unusually serious, "I don't get to have this often. Moments like these."

You opened your eyes slightly, looking up at him. "Hmm? What do you mean?"

He gazed at the ceiling, his fingers absentmindedly tracing patterns on your back. "Being close to someone. Letting my guard down. It's rare for me."

You could hear the hint of vulnerability in his voice, a stark contrast to his usual confident self. "I'm glad you feel you can with me," you whispered, almost drowsily.

He looked down at you, his eyes softening. "You make it... seems easy."

You cracked a small smile, touched by his words. "Well, someone has to keep you grounded."

He laughed quietly. "True."

You snuggled closer, feeling a sense of warmth and safety. "Hmm."

He tightened his arms around you, pressing a chaste kiss to your forehead. "Sleep well, Y/N."

With his comforting presence surrounding you, you finally let yourself drift off, knowing that despite the chaos of your lives, in this moment, everything was perfect.

He belonged to you and you only.

Morning light filtered through the curtains, gently waking you. You felt a soft kiss on your forehead and opened your eyes to find Satoru gazing at you with a tender smile.

"Good morning," he said, his voice warm and soothing.

"Morning," you replied, stretching slightly. "What time is it?"

"Early enough," he said, brushing a strand of hair from your face. "I didn't want to wake you, but I couldn't resist."

You chuckled softly. "It's okay. I think waking up to you isn't so bad."

He smiled, leaning in to kiss you gently. "So, what's the plan for today?"

You thought for a moment, enjoying the feel of his lips against yours. "Maybe we could just spend the day together. No work, no worries. Just us."

"I like the sound of that." Satoru's eyes lit up with excitement. Then clapping his hands together to get your attention, he added, "Okay. Wakey wakey now, babe. I'm taking you out on a date."

You blinked in surprise at his sudden unpredictability. "A date? Where to?"

He grinned mischievously. "It's a surprise. Just trust me."

You raised an eyebrow but felt a thrill of excitement. "Alright, lead the way."

Satoru took your hand and led you out of bed.
