From Hatred to Harmony // a Satosugu school AU

Chapter 22

Gojo didn't remember getting into a car, or even entering the motel; he was too focused on Geto, the person that held him in his arms. He was with him. Was he dreaming? This must actually be heaven.

He was with Geto right now. He feels so warm, when was the last time he felt this kind of warmth? They were in front of the bed, standing up. They were still hugging each other, they hadn't let go since the taxi.

"Satoru." The name calls him out of his trance, and Gojo snapped his head up to meet the gaze of the shorter one. "We need to talk."

Gojo's mouth seemed dry. "Uh. of course." He fidgeted with his clothes as Geto allowed Gojo to sit on the bed next to Geto. "About what?" What a move, of course Gojo knew what he was going to talk about. Did he ever say that he acts (gets) stupid around Geto?

"That attempt." He seemed hurt. A new expression from him. A negative one; it made Gojo's heart strain. Oh. So he was worried because of him? "Why did you do it?" He asked, that pained expression gone and looking more angry than upset now.

"I was lost without you." He admitted, not missing a beat. He didnt need to hide anything right now, since it was Geto. Geto Suguru. "I- i wanted to have another chance to talk to you again, and i needed you there with me. I'm not lying, either. I understand you didn't give me time to explain but i really really didnt mean it. I want to be with you, and i really dont care about the paparazzi, i can take it all if you're there. I really love-"

A hand cuts him off. "You know. You're rambling. And, youre not in a great mental health right now." Geto knew. He knew what he was going to say, but he didn't want to hear it now. He wanted to make sure he was alright first. The.. problems can come after.

"I-" Gojo seemed like he wanted to argue, but he didnt. "Got it."

And so they stayed there, for a while. In each other's arms, hearts racing. They reunited. They're together once again.

They liked each other's company.

Gojo made a mental note to himself that he wouldn't attempt it again. He didn't realise it would hurt his one and only that much.

—- 2 months later —-

That attempted suicide has exploded. Exploded over social media. Lots and lots of fans, making multiple posts about that couple seconds of the time at the bridge. Then focusing more on a man that appeared suddenly, pulling him back and saving him. Everyone realised it was the one and only Geto Suguru. The same Geto Suguru that was considered as Gojo's secret lover, the same Geto Suguru that was considered as Gojo's rival, the same Geto Suguru that had saved him from suicide. He was known as a hero.

Gojo went back to modelling, and continued growing famous. But this time it was different. He didn't feel like he was bored anymore. He didn't feel like he was lonely. Why? Because he had his new boyfriend with him. They got together more than a month ago now, they had announced it to the world a couple weeks after they started dating. The influence of the majestic faces also blew up, allowing them both to be models and earn enough money. Gojo was even more popular alongside this man. And it also made him competitive, reminding him of the high school days.

But there was one small thing that was bothering him. He and his boyfriend has never said I love you. He wanted to say it, he wanted to say so badly, but it felt like it was not the right time. Yes, they were dating. But it didn't stop them from having some sort of barriers. Gojo wanted to bring them all down. He wanted to be able to say everything to his significant other, but it just held him back. Yes, he told Geto every other thing, but he couldn't say the words I love you. When they had gotten together, they had only said "I like you". To be honest, it wasn't as romantic as it seemed, it was just another day of hanging around together (basically every day) and before they had parted Gojo had blurted out his confession.
