"You're fucking with me right? You must be crazy if you think I'm going to agree to that," Gojo asked as he couldn't stop his uncontrollable laughter.

I certainly wasn't expecting that reaction...

"Don't call me crazy. I'm trying to be serious and civil with you right now," I said as I looked at him in disbelief because he was acting as if I said the most funniest thing in the world.

He tried calming himself down but I can tell he wasn't all the way calm as he continued wiping the tears from his eyes.

"It's honestly scary how persistent you're being. Ooh. This is a side of you I haven't seen in a while. Usually, just to sum you up, you're bor-"

"Are you going to help me?" I asked with annoyance in my voice because I knew the word he was going to use to describe me. I wasn't too keen on being reminded of what I know I already was.

All of this was a mistake wasn't it?

"Well just let me ask you this. Why would you need specifically me to help you? To sum up all of the shit you said your grandmother needs to see you married. So why me?" He asked genuinely curious. There are plenty of people out in the world he was sure would agree to my plan. Despite how he's come to feel about me he couldn't deny that I was still a very physically attractive woman that still to him had some charms.

Of course he wasn't listening...

"You weren't paying attention. She knows about our child. She thinks we're still married. She knows what you look like. I've told you I haven't told anyone about our divorce besides my parents. So unless you have a twin brother I never knew about you're my only option. It's either that or... my plan can't even execute.... not in the slightest," I said starting to sound almost... desperate? I've already agreed to the woman so if Gojo says no I'll have to go back on my word and I was sure she would ask questions. Questions I'm not ready to answer.

Gojo looked at me thoughtfully as he tried to hide the pity he was starting to feel for me. We couldn't stand each other anymore and we haven't even heard each other's voices for months until now. Even still, that couldn't erase the love we once felt for each other. The love he feels for me.

"I get it, okay? Just wouldn't it feel awkward for us to pretend to be married? Wouldn't you feel bad that you're basically... scamming your grandmother out of a crap ton of money?" He asked in disbelief at the words he was speaking. He couldn't believe that I out of all people was doing this. That the girl who he thought was sweet and innocent, was planning to do such a crime.

Why does everyone feel that way? Should I just not... do this...?

"I didn't even know you had morals like that," I said teasing him as I was simultaneously feeling a little upset at the concerns he had. He always did what he wanted no matter how reckless so how come he cares now?

Gojo just sighed and chuckled a little under his breath at my comment quickly brushing it off. He then suddenly started shaking his head at me.

"Yeah, yeah. Anyway what do I get out of this?"

Oh sh- snapperdoodle.... I didn't even think about that...

I just gave him an honest shrug because I didn't even think about how this would benefit him. I didn't think it was important to and I was too caught up thinking about how I would get him on board.

"Alright then. I want half," he said as he leaned in closer to me as he gave me a teasing smirk.

What...

I raised an eyebrow up at him not sure if I heard him right. When I finally processed the words he spoke to me I couldn't help but let out a laugh.

"Are you joking?"

He shook his head at me to my dismay. I put on a frown as I saw his facial expression that told me he meant what he said. How could he actually want a share of the money?

"Now why would I be?" He asked in a snarky tone with a smile that I wanted to wipe away.

Am I crazy for thinking why he shouldn't get a share?

"Satoru you're already loaded! I'm not! Why would you want a share of the money? Isn't there anything else you want?" I asked with a feeling of hope within that he can think of another idea.

I hope I'm not sounding too greedy...

He tilted his glasses down to get a better look at me before he chuckled to himself and shook his head once again.

"Nah... there's not. Besides it never hurts to have a little bit more bread. Right?" He said as he rubbed his fingers together.

Well I'm not too happy about that but... I don't have any other ideas I guess so... I have no choice but to agree...

I sighed before I finally gave in and reluctantly nodded to him. Agreeing to his terms.

"Ok alright you can have a share. So now you'll help me right?" I said as I stood up from my chair and held my hand out, waiting for him to shake it. But before I knew it I quickly retracted my hand. There was a worry sitting in the back of my mind.

"You're going to treat this like one of your civil business deals right?" I asked waiting for assurance.

He looked at me surprised because of my concern. As if the worry I have of him not being able to contain himself is absurd.

"I'll be able to control myself. Question is, can you?" He asked with a teasing smirk that gave me an old small feeling I thought I erased a long time ago.

He's doing this on purpose... why?

I didn't say anything as I sighed at his remark. Not amused by the insinuation he was making.

Still as full of himself as ever... hmm...

Suddenly a concerned facial expression appeared on his face. I raised my eyebrow up at him because I couldn't tell what was on his mind.

"What about Asuka? What are we going to tell him?"

Oh right... I need to think about that... I don't want him to be hurt because of this... maybe it's possible he can avoid this whole thing together?

"I don't know... I'm going to think about that. When I have an idea I'll let you know. Just don't tell anyone anything until I have the details worked out. That includes your friend Suguru, he knows we're divorced right?" I asked as I already started to dread the planning I'll have to do.

Gojo nodded which didn't leave me surprised. Suguru was not only the best man at the wedding but he's been Satoru's best friend since childhood. If it weren't for the staff, me, or our son, Suguru would be all that Satoru had left. It was annoying to me at times that they told each other everything like a couple of school girls but It's still sweet he has that outlet.

Of course...

"So... we're doing this right? Baby," Gojo said with a seductive smirk already putting on our fake married couple act. He took my hand and kissed the back of it.

I immediately snatched my hand from him which was soon followed by the embarrassment and dread I felt. It's unbelievable to me and actually quite laughable he asked if I'll be able to control myself.

"Yes. Honey," I said as I aggressively took his hand and made us shank on it like a business transaction.

I guess it's time to get our reward Satoru...
