Fabricated Lives (Toji x OC)

26: The Gojo Clan

The uniform was stupid and was much too flashy for Toji's taste. The pants were baggy, just like how his other grey pants had been. He wore a jacket with a button closing on his right breast, the famous jujutsu high symbol.

"Is this really necessary?" Toji gestured to the outfit.

"Yeah, it is." Satoru looked unenthused at what was happening. Suguru on the other hand, who was sitting next to Satoru was enjoying this a little too much. "All jujutsu sorcerers wear a uniform so we can be easily recognized."

"I thought that's what the stupid button was for." Toji pulled at the high collar of his uniform.

Satoru rolled his eyes, he just wanted to be done with this.

"Every sorcerer wears the button." Suguru spoke up.

"I'm not a sorcerer."

"Doesn't matter, you work for the school now." Satoru grumbled. "Now just shut up and get to work. There's an assistant supervisor waiting for you."

Toji readjusted the worm on his shoulder and walked out. He hated this already, but he had to remember he wasn't doing this for himself, it was for Nyoko. He reached into his pocket and took the picture he had of Nyoko out. In the photo Nyoko was just barely awake. Toji took it because Nyoko apparently had this "cute" morning face. Nyoko found herself ugly in the picture, but Toji liked it and argued that it should go on her fridge.

"I'll be assisting you on your mission." The Assistant Supervisor explained. "The higher ups want to test your strength, so the mission we assigned for you is for a Grade One."

Toji shrugged. "Sounds easy enough. Do I get paid right after this?"

The Assistant Supervisor stared at him with wide eyes. "Um, yes?"

"Good. That's all I need to know." Toji locked his fingers together and reached up, leaning left then right. "Let's get this over with."

"Wait. Since this is your first mission, you'll have a sorcerer assist you."

"I thought you were assisting me."

"A sorcerer will accompany with you on your mission in case you cannot finish off the curse. I'm only here to drive you to and from the jobsite. I also draw the veil and help in case you've been hurt."

"Ok whatever. What sorcerer is coming with me?"

"Hey Fushiguro."

Toji was met by those strange purple eyes of his. "Geto."

"I don't like this as much as you, but it was either me or Satoru."

"Good call." Toji got into the car and sat down. Geto sat next to him. The Assistant Supervisor began driving and the three of them sat in silence.

Toji opted to look out the window and keep to himself. He had in interest in starting a conversation with Geto. Along with Satoru, Geto was one of the sorcerers he had fought, but he had no intention of killing. He was sure that the Curse Manipulator was probably still mad at him for it.

"Nyoko is doing well by the way." Geto's soft and gentle voice broke through the silence.

Toji's breath hitched in his throat. "She is?" He hated how weak he sounded.

"Yeah. I figured you would want to know, so I asked Satoru when I found out I was going on this mission."

Toji frowned. He wanted to be happy for her, that she was happy without him. But in actuality he was upset. He wanted her to miss him like crazy, the same way he missed her.
