Better with you - Gojo x Geto

Chapter 6

-Gojo POV-

Right now we are walking to a nearby flower shop that Suguru likes to meet this person he knows. He thinks that I'll like him, but I'm not sure. I don't usually immediately like people, and some of that may be because of my past experiences with new people. I was often too trusting of everyone, and ended up getting tricked by sketchy people a few times. I got kidnapped a total of 3 times when I was really young, and it was always because of my crazy un-natural features.

As we come up on the shop, he waves to someone with light pink hair near the window, surrounded by a bunch of flowers and cacti in little pots. "Itadori! How are you doing?" Suguru says once we're inside. Even though it's completely normal for Suguru to have other good friends, I feel a tiny bit jealous that he's so excited to see this "Itadori". "Great, how are you doing Geto? How's your curse stuff going?" Ok, at least he doesn't call him Suguru. I feel bad for feeling this jealous over someone I haven't even confessed to.

-For this fic, Yuji is Gojo and Geto's age, and he isn't cursed by Sukuna, he's just a normie that knows about curses from Geto-

As Suguru and his friend keep talking, I look around the store a bit. It does have some really pretty flowers, and one small bouquet catches my eye. It has a mix of black and white roses. Even though I know that the black roses are probably fake and the white roses are sort of wilting, I can't help but love it and I don't even know why. The contrast of the flowers is so pretty. "Satoru, come here!" Just like Suguru's voice...

I walk over to the cashier where Suguru and the Itadori guy are talking. "Satoru, this is Itadori Yuji and Itadori, this is Satoru Gojo. I've known Itadori for about 3 years, we met at an activity I went to during summer." Of course this guy has known Suguru longer than I have. "Hi, nice to meet you." I say, trying to act friendly even though it's hard to.

While I already kinda dislike this Itadori guy just for being all friendly with Suguru, I realize that he actually does seem like a really nice, likeable guy. "So Itadori... how's Fushiguro doing?" Suguru says in a mildly suggestive tone. Huh? "Well... I actually... confessed to him." Wait what? This Itadori has a love interest? "Really? Good job man! And let me guess. He said yes and you're dating now." Suguru guesses. "Mhm! I really am lucky that I have him."
Oh.

-Geto POV-

As I introduce Satoru and Itadori to each other and start asking Itadori about his crush from when I first met him, Satoru looks pretty confused, so I glance at Itadori wondering if I can  explain the situation to Satoru. He nods in confirmation, and so I explain to Satoru. "When I first met Itadori 3 years ago, he was openly gay, and eventually I found out that he had a crush on another boy In our activity group. We basically spent the entire time in the group trying to set them up."

Even though I am very accepting of the LGBTQ community now, I wasn't always. I grew up in a family that didn't tell me anything about that stuff, and so honestly I didn't even know that you could be attracted to your same gender. My first exposure to it was when my best friend in grade 5 said that she had a crush on another girl. Even though it was just a small elementary school crush, when people heard about it everyone started bullying her for it.

People would call her names, trip her and the teachers seemingly "didn't notice". Even her crush who was her friend at the time called her disgusting, and at first I went along with everyone. "She's attracted to girls, that's not ok!"  But then, I actually thought about it. Why in the world was it a problem that she was attracted to girls? How was she different at us, just because of  the gender she liked? When I realized that, I started standing up for her.

We really were great friends, and even though we've drifted apart by now, I'm honestly really happy that I learned about pride early on so that I could be friends with someone like Itadori and realize that the lgbtq+ community is actually really nice and welcoming.

-In this fic, Geto has now attended 4 pride marches, all with Yuji. It's sort of a tradition for them.-

For some reason after I tell Satoru about Itadori's now boyfriend, he seems to ease up a bit and he seems more relaxed. I hope they get to know each other well.

-Gojo POV-

Now that I know about Itadori already having a boyfriend, I feel more relaxed around this pink haired guy and I am aware of it. "Guys, I'm gonna go into the washroom and look around for a tiny bit. I'll be back soon." Suguru says. Ok, so I have to be alone with Itadori! No problem at all, he seems pr- "You like Geto don't you! I can just sense it. How long have you liked him? Should I try and set you guys up?" He says. "Ehh wha... I.. No I don't like him! I mean..." I sigh. "How did you know?"

"My ship detector is working perfectly as always!"  He exclaims. "That was actually pretty impressive. Is it that obvious?" I question. "Geto is so clueless that he won't notice but yeah, it's pretty obvious. Sooo, are you gonna confess to him?"

Now that's a question that I've been asking myself for a really long time. Ever since I started liking him.

Hope you enjoyed! This is actually so fun to write.

Btw, who should Shoko's date be? The obvious choice is utahime, but I could do someone else or I could make up a character for her.
