Better with you - Gojo x Geto

Chapter 5

-Gojo POV-

While we are walking closer to the curse, I decide to leave him to quickly get something for him. "Suguru, I'm gonna go to the washroom inside that shop real quick! Don't fight the curse without me!" "Alright Satoru, don't take too long." I run inside the store and start thinking about what he would like. "Excuse me, could I get one caramel chocolate crepe with some strawberries as toppings?" I think he'll like that, he likes sweet way more than sour unlike me. He doesn't hate strawberries, but I'm planning to eat those if he doesn't want them.

As I get the crepe, I realize I don't have anywhere to put it unless I get a bag. I ask for a bag and then start thinking about what excuse I should say to him for having a bag, he would obviously think I bought something (which I did). Oh well, I'll just wing it! I see Suguru and run over to him carrying the crepe bag behind me. "Thanks for waiting!" He doesn't respond or even look over at me. I wave my hand infront of his face. "Hellloooo? Suguru?" He suddenly snaps out of it and apologizes for not realizing I was there. He doesn't even notice that I have a bag, and he normally would.

Yup, he's definitely nervous about absorbing the curse. He probably can't help it, I'm already worried for him so I can't imagine what he is feeling.
I grab onto his hand to try and make him less nervous. "Suguru, don't be nervous. It'll be done super quickly, and I'll be right there with you! You got this!" He looks down at our hands together, and then looks back up at me with the sweetest smile I have ever seen. "Thank you, Sa~toru!" He says my name in a sing song tone. I know that I'm blushing really hard right now, but I can't look away from him.

I really love him a lot.

-Geto POV-

How disgusting is this curse gonna be. A normal curse is already horrible, and I feel shitty for awhile after absorbing them. How painful will this be??? It's to the point where no other sorcerers have tried to get rid of it, thi-
I feel a warm hand lightly grab mine, and I look down to see that Satoru has grabbed my hand. "-and I'll be right there with you! You got this" He really knows how to make me feel better. Even though it's just words, I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders by him. "Thank you, Sa~toru!"

That is definitely not something I would normally say, but I want him to know how grateful I am. I  hold his hand tighter and we keep walking towards the curse.

"There it is. I can defeat it, you just absorb it ok?" Satoru says. "Got it." As he goes to deal with the curse, he lets go of my hand and I wish he could keep holding on to me. Wait do I? That's a weird thought. Anyway, in what feels like 2 seconds he defeats the curse leaving me to absorb it.

-Gojo POV-

Suguru slowly walks over to the immobile remains of the curse and makes it into a sphere shape. He brings it up to his mouth, and slowly puts the curse in and swallows it. Immediately he starts coughing and his eyes begin to get watery. "Suguru!" I shout as I stand beside him so that he can lean on me. He must be in so much pain. Even though I shouldn't, I feel mad at Yaga sensei for sending us on this mission. He holds onto me as he seemingly gets weak in the knees and almost falls over. I feel like crying. Why does he have to go through so much pain to make himself stronger. I hate it.

As he kneels on the ground and I sit next to him, I grab onto him and hug him really hard. He hugs me back, and is still coughing. It even sounds like breathing is difficult for him. We sit there for about 5 minutes, and once he starts to calm down a tiny bit I pull out the bag with the crepe and offer it to him. "Here Suguru, I got you this because I knew you would be feeling sick after absorbing it."

As Suguru accepted it and opened the box, he looks happier than he was a second ago, even if it's just by a tiny bit. "Did you get me caramel and chocolate? Satoru, you really know me well." He said while starting to eat it. I have to admit, I feel really proud of myself for knowing exactly what he would want. "Ok, shall we start heading back? We can get you some wat-" he suddenly shoves one of the strawberries in my mouth and laughs at me.

"You look so cute with that stupid strawberry." He says while laughing. There's no way he actually just called me cute right? "Hahaaaaaa yup let's go back." I say while really quickly turning away from him and standing up to hide how red my face is. This might be my new record for the reddest my face has been (Other than the face paint incident when I was in grade 2). I know for a fact I cannot think more about him calling me cute right now or I will go crazy.

"Hey, wait for me Satoru. That curse was horrible but it seems like the effects of it last shorter. I'm already feeling a bit better." I'm glad the effects aren't lasting too long for him. "So, shall we go hangout at our normal spot?" After we complete missions, Yaga sensei always just lets us off for the rest of the day to do what we want. "Actually, I know it's normally you asking to go places but someone I know is working at a flower shop near here so I think we should go see them. I think you'll like him."

And so we have a destination!
