"Fuck," Toji grunted before letting out a deep sigh, sweat dripping off his skin as he placed the weights down on the floor. He looked around the room, glancing outside the window.

"That was three more than the last time," Gojo spoke with a smirk, leaning up against the wall. He took a sip from his water bottle before speaking again, "who're you tryna impress?" He teased.

"No one. Just tryna get back into the gym." Toji grabbed his water off of the floor along with his towel, wiping the sweat from his face. Gojo causally walked over towards Toji, standing over him with his arms folded. "May I help you?" Toji glared at the white haired man. As good of a friend gojo was to Toji, he was also very annoying at times, which eventually he had to get used to.

"You never told me how your talk with y/n went? How is she anyway? Single? Not single? Just wanna know when I can make my move." Gojo quirked a brow, clearly trying to get a reaction from his friend.

"Very funny. She's doing just fine." Toji stood from his seat, pushing past Gojo and walking out of his gym room towards the kitchen to grab a small snack. Gojo trailed right behind him, laughing.

"And?" Gojo snatched the box of granola bars from Toji's hand, slamming them on the counter as he waited for more of a response. "Come on man, I want the details!"

Toji rolled his eyes with the shake of his head, snatching back the box. "We talked about us as parents and our kids. That's it. What more do you wanna hear?" The crinkling sound of a wrapper filled the silent kitchen.

"That's it?" Gojo's brows furrowed, genuinely confused. Toji nodded in response, chewing on his food. "You two didnt have sex?" Gojo questioned, eyebrows now raised in surprise. "Not even a kiss?"

"Nothin. Just a hug and a see you later," Toji explained.

"Holy shit! You two are actually over. Wow, I never thought I'd see this day come," Gojo scoffed, grabbing a granola bar from the box. "Have you met or seen her new man?"

Toji shrugged. "No, not really. I've seen him, but I haven't properly talked to him. Don't think I want to. I want her to be happy, she deserves it. I just can't stand seeing her happy with someone else. Is that wrong of me? I still get jealous, possessive. But it's no longer my place to say anything."

"Who are you and what did you do with Toji?" Gojo had a scowl on his face. Toji let out an airy laugh, shaking his head at him. "It's weird seeing you all...mature." Gojo shivered before taking another bite of his granola bar.

"I know. I'm still getting used to it myself." Not a second goes by where you're not on Toji's mind. He thinks about what you're doing, how you're doing. He wants to text you, see you, hear your voice, touch you again. He hates that it has to be this way now, but it's for you, for your family.

Though he has these thoughts in the back of his head, imagining you forgetting about him, acting like he doesn't exist anymore, you getting remarried to someone that isn't him. He's scared of fully losing you, losing his family. You and the kids are the only thing keeping him together, giving him hope that things we maybe work out in the future. But every now and then, he sees those flowers on your table, the kiss your shared with him, the smile on your face when you hugged him. It haunts Toji.
