Better with you - Gojo x Geto

Chapter 11

-Gojo POV-

Phew. Finally out of the dentists. I don't hate the dentist like some people, but I definetely don't like it. When I was a kid I had to get a cavity filled because I had too much candy and sweets. How could I not when so many treats were right in my kitchen cupboard, tempting me?

As I start walking back to my place, I look down and realize that I'm still wearing Suguru's clothes. Even though he's not even here, I can't help but have my face go a little bit red. These are clothes that he's worn and... I mean... he's had this right on his skin...
Nope, I need to stop thinking about that. It's just clothes. Anyway, I wonder if Suguru wants to hang out for the rest of the day. It's 5:30 now and it feels like this day has gone by so fast. I grab my phone from my pocket and call him.

"Hey Suguru, I just got out of the dentists. Do you wanna hang out for the rest of the day?" I suggest. "Yeah sure. Actually, instead of my place do you wanna meet up at the park near our places? We could get something to eat near there too." "Sure, I'm up for that! See you there!" I say as I hang up. Yknow, I really take for granted how lucky I am to get to hang out with the guy I like all the time, almost every day.
Still even with that, I'll never be completely content with just being friends. I have so many things I wanna do with him, and not all of them are best friend things.

As I come up on the park, I see Suguru sitting nicely on the picnic bench. He looks so cool just sitting there. I'm walking towards him and then, someone goes up to him... a girl? Normally, I would assume this was someone Suguru knew, an acquaintance, but this girl seemed to be trying to pick him up. Even though I just saw her sit down beside Suguru and start talking to him, I can tell. My heart is starting to beat faster. I can't hear their conversation, but Suguru hasn't told her to leave yet.

What if... what if that girl asks Suguru to go with him somewhere... asks for a date... leans over a bit closer and touches his face... what would I do? Suguru is definitely straight. He's never said anything about dating anyone at all, but there's just no way he's attracted to guys.

Actually, why am I even thinking about this? There's no way he would ever like me, regardless of what gender he likes. I'm his best friend. Nothing more. We'll get stronger together and stay together, but we'll always be friends no matter what. He would never see us any other way. He's my one and only, and I don't think I'm his.

I turn around. I don't wanna see him talking to probably his future girlfriend. I can't watch that. Even though I know it's stupid to just leave him sitting there because he's talking to  some stupid girl, he's probably having so much fun talking to her and he's definitely already in love with her. Now he's fantasizing about all their dates and trips together, their kids, growing old together... ohhhh, how I wish that could be meeeee... Their probably kissing now, and there's nothing I can doooooooo....

"Satoru! Where are you going? I've been waiting for you!" An out of breath Suguru says to me after running up to me from the bench where... the girl is sitting by herself? "Well, I thought I should leave you and that girl alone... I figured she was probably try'na pick you up so... yeah..." I mumble, and Suguru sighs. "Satoru, do you really think I would go on a date with someone I just met? Yes, she was asking me out, but I said no as I have never talked to that girl on my entire life."

"Oh... Well ok! I don't wanna stay in this park anymore, let's go get something to eat!" I say, and I do try to make my change in tone from unhappy to relieved inaudible, but Suguru definitely notices my switch up. Suguru starts to smile and laugh... at me? "Satoru, we're you jealous? God, you're so cute!" He says while laughing really hard.
There's.
No.
Way.
He.
Just...

I feel like my heart is exploding. Everything is going crazy.
Suguru is still chuckling, and I'm trying to deal with. Him. Calling. Me. Cute. How did he say that without getting crazy embarrassed??? I know for a fact my face is beyond red right now. Like, I am probably blushing so much that the blush turned blue or somwthing. My heart is beating so fast, I can hear it. Cute is crazy. Cute is what you call your partner in a relationship. I know I'm not wrong about this one.

I turn my head to look the opposite way of Suguru so he can't see my crazy red face, but I can feel that the tips of my ears are hot too. Shoot. While I'm going crazy in my head, Suguru has stopped laughing and is just talking like normal. "So, what do you wanna get to eat? I know you probably want something sweet, but you should have something healthy too." Does he not see anything from calling someone cute? If I called him cute would he care?... Well, that's a question for another time.

"Yeahhh, I'm uh... good with anything that you... want." Shoot, I am stuttering really bad. "Satoru, you ok? How does ramen sound? We can get cake after if you want, and I'll buy you any drink you want." That sounds like a great offer. "Yeahhh that sounds great! I'm totally fine just... thinking about uhhhh.. Shoko's date! I wonder how it's going?" I say. Suguru looks at me suspiciously. "Ok, if you say so. Here, a ramen place I like is right up here!"
