The Surprise

          The graduated students and second years head to the center of the field. Yuta against Megumi, Nobara and Panda, Yuji and inumaki. It was always an odd number of partners so whoever lost the person sitting out would go next. That person conveniently today was me. I decided to sit on the bleachers to watch them train closely and think. Honestly, about 85% of my day consisted of me thinking about anything. But lately, it's just been me thinking about Gojo. As I was zoned out watching the fight I didn't realize he had taken a seat right next to me.

"Where's your head at L/N?"

I don't turn to him because my answers would become a mumble from how nervous I am.

"Everywhere except where it should be." I say sitting straight up and fixing my posture.

"And why is that?" he says leaning closer to me and examining my demeanor. The things he does and says could drive me crazy. His words could fuel me for weeks. 

"Couldn't quite tell you Gojo-Sensei " the last thing I say before getting up to fight Nobara since Maki had lost.

~TIME SKIP~ 

        As I thought, I lost. She was getting good and I was happy that Nobara is getting stronger but at the same time It made me feel like a failure and not strong enough and the fact that He was watching too made it even more embarrassing I wasn't improving I was only getting weaker who knows I might not be able to graduate because of how weak I've gotten. Which now that I think about it more it horrifies me I would be a clown to my family's name. 

As I walk to my dorm door I unlock it with my key and twist the knob opening it. After closing it I slide down the door tears start to come to my waterline, it's quickly replaced with anger as I keep thinking about how pathetic I am. So I stand up and make my way to my bathroom, washing face in the lukewarm water I come to a realization I need help and there's only one true person who could help me with that. I shut the faucet and take a quick shower, blow drying my hair afterwards and putting on sweats and a t-shirt. 

As it's now 10pm I walk outside and walk to the fountain near the entrance of the dorm area. Where I knew he would be. 

"What are you doing out here Y/N?"   He stands there with his posture tall watching the fountain spout water in front of him.

"I was actually looking for you." I felt my voice shake as I was starting to lose my confidence to talk to him.

 After a minute he finally turns around and looks and me. "What can I help you with L/N?"  

So formal.. 

"Well I need help with training just basic fighting skills. I think I'm lacking some skills don't you think?"  I look up at him finally looking at his blindfold not being able to read his emotions or tell what he was thinking. It was always hard to tell what he was thinking but his body language gave it away most of the time. 

He stood there not saying anything letting time go by it felt like ages before he gave a response. 

"I suppose you could use some training. But why me, why not ask Fushiguro or Yuji?" 

I pondered about what he said for a second before responding.

"Well.. I wanted help from a really experienced person. I know I'm not as good as them and getting help from them would be pointless I want to get just as good as them. No even better.."

I couldn't believe I was actually admitting the real reason why I wanted to train with him.

"7am sharp don't be late."  were his last words before he walked away. 

Damnit it's 11:00 already I got to get to sleep.
