Better with you - Gojo x Geto

Chapter 7

-Geto POV-

After I come out of the washroom, see Satoru and Itadori talking. I can probably leave them alone for a bit longer. As I look through the shop for a bit, I see a small bouquet of black and white roses and it reminds me of me and Satoru. Then, I see some white roses sitting on a shelf near the bouquet. Hmm...

As I get to the cashier where Satoru and Itadori are talking, I ask Itadori if I could purchase the rose. "Oh, who's that for?" Satoru asks. "You!" I say. He looks sort of confused and sort of... red? "Well, you've been caring about me and you even got that crepe for me so I should give something back to you!" After I pay, I take the rose and put it behind his ear like a pencil. Stupidly, I'm thinking he looks cute again. That has been happening way too much. I thank Itadori, and he says something quietly to Satoru before we leave. Hmm.

"So, how'd you like Itadori? He's nice right?" "Mhm, he's fun to talk to. We exchanged phone numbers, so I can text him if I want." Satoru says with the rose still in his hair. "Well, I'm actually feeling sort of tired. It might be a bit from absorbing the curse but I am really drained. I think I might just head back to the apartment." "Yeah, I'm not feeling too awake either. I'll go back with you." We decide to go back on the subway, and it's a pretty short ride.

As we get back, he gets off the elevator on the floor below mine and I get off at the next stop. I get the keys to my apartment, go inside and quickly take off my shoes before basically falling into bed. I didn't realize how tired... I am...

-Gojo POV-

As I go into my apartment and lock the door, I can't help but put my back against my wall and slide down it. I don't think Suguru realizes what he's doing to me. When he put that rose in my hair I felt like I was gonna explode. I can't take this. At this point, the logical thing to do would be to confess, but liking someone isn't logical. However cheesy it sounds, liking someone is really just following your heart.
That is the most embarrassing thing I have ever thought. This is what Suguru is doing to me!

I stand back up and even though I told Suguru that I was tired, I wasn't actually. I just wanted to stay with him for longer while walking back, and didn't want him to feel like he was dragging me along. I went into my small living room to watch some tv, but all the channels were playing boring movies so I decided to watch one of my favourite dvd's instead. After I finish it about 2 hours later, I start to feel tired like I said I was. Well, now is a good time to have a nap.

Im about to fall asleep, but then I remember that if I want the rose to stay alive I have to put it in water! I run to my kitchen, fill up a glass of water and grab the rose (which was still in my hair) to place in it. I can put it anywhere where there's some sun but... I decide to put it beside my bed on a windowsill. Now I can sleep, and this time on my bed instead of the couch.

-The next morning-

WAKE UP SLEEPY. WAKE UP SLEEPY. WAKE UP SLEEPY. WA-
I forgot that Suguru sneakily set my alarm to that. As I climb out of bed, I do my normal morning routine, with a little extra pep because it's Friday! The obvious best day. Suguru disagrees, but he has some logic for it. He's still wrong though. I brush my teeth, go to the bathroom, have a shower, eat some quick breakfast, get dressed, morning stuff. After I'm done everything, I check the clock to see what time it is, 8:40. Yup, Suguru will be waiting for me by now!

I open the door readily, expecting my "Good morning", a nice smile and my hair being quickly brushed through by Suguru's hands but... he's not there. Now, I'm not worried. He barely ever isn't here, but maybe he overslept! Maybe his sister is already here visiting him, even though he said she'd be here in a week. I don't think Suguru would just forget to come. Even if he was mad about me at something (Which he never is) it's our routine.

I decide to wait for him infront of my apartment, but after only 3 minutes I can't help but go up to his apartment and knock. "Suguru? You there?" ... "Suuuggguuuuruuuuu?......
Now I'm worried. Even though I know I shouldn't be worrying this much, he has come down to my apartment every weekday except for 3 times, all of the times he slept in and was almost late for school until I woke him up.

I decide to go into his apartment, and after taking off my shoes and walking around to look for him, I find him lying on his bed looking really red and breathing hard. "Suguru! Are you ok? Wake up!" I say, but he doesn't wake up. I feel his forehead and realize how warm he is. I'm not sure, but I bet this is from that curse we dealt with yesterday. Suguru never gets sick. I run into his kitchen and find a wet washcloth to put on his face. I realize that if I stay here all day I'm going to miss school, but I don't really care.

I can't just not do anything if I'm aware that Suguru is sick. I call Shoko to tell her what was happening, and she asks me to take good care of  him. "Don't worry, I will."

Hope you enjoyed that!

Side note: I drew the little image at the top which is why it isn't as good as the ones I normally choose but I hope you still liked it! It's supposed to be when Geto gave Gojo the white rose (:
