Better with you - Gojo x Geto

Chapter 14

-Geto POV-

Satoru is... right beside me. We're both looking at the ceiling above my bed, and neither of us are saying anything, even when I think we both want to start talking about something or other. We just lay here, only a few inches apart from each other for a few minutes both just thinking. I have a feeling neither of us are gonna be able to sleep that well tonight.

"Satoru?" I say quietly. I want to start a conversation, even if it's about something stupid. This silence is not helping the weird embarrassing feeling I have, and I don't even know why I feel embarrassed right now. "Yes Suguru?" He replies. "Do you want me to read a book to you?" I offer. Normally, I read books right before sleeping. I feel like just reading with Satoru beside me would be weird so I mean, may as well offer right?

"Sure! What book are you gonna read to me then Suguru? It better be happy, I hate depressing books." Even though the book I'm going to read to Satoru isn't a very sad one, I read a lot of sad books. It's not that I can relate to them and that I have a super depressing life, I just like reading about different people and reading too many happy or creepy books sometimes makes me not want to read any more of that genre. "Don't worry, this is a nice and happy book. You can try and fall asleep while I'm reading it if you want."

Satoru lays back and gets comfortable beside me, and I grab my book and start reading to him. "Among all the deities of heaven, there was one famous laughingstock of the three realms." I try to say in a dramatic voice. To be honest, I have no idea what this book is about, Shoko leant it to me and told me that I would love it. I don't normally read much fantasy about deities and things like that, but this might be good. As I keep reading, Satoru slowly closes his eyes.

Soon, after I've been reading for about 10 minutes, I hear Satoru's breathing slow and I can tell he's fallen asleep already. I read for about 5 more minutes and then I turn off my side lamp and lie down beside Satoru. I watch a tiny wisp of his hair rise and fall with every breath he takes. I brush it to the side and sit up a tiny bit to look at his face. I run my fingers through his hair like I do every morning, then I lie back down but I still feel... like I want to be close to him.

I slowly take Satoru's hand into mine and hold it tightly. His hand is warm, this feels really relaxing. Tommorow is sadly Monday, so I guess I should get some sleep. " Goodnight, Sa~toru." I whisper. I think I like sleeping beside someone. Actually... I slept beside him last night too. 2 nights won't turn into a habit... right?
I feel my eyes shut and I drift off into a nice sleep, still holding Satoru's hand.

-The next morning, Geto POV-

"Ehhhhhhh..." Satoru mumbles. I've been up for about 30 minutes just lying here with Satoru wrapped in my arms. It's not that I like it I just... I don't know why I'm staying next to him when I could just get up. Something about the warmth of him is so comforting to me. "Hi Satoru. We have about 2 hours until we have to go to school, it's pretty early." Satoru looks around and he suddenly seems to realize that my arms are wrapped around him.

He looks down and I can tell that he's blushing. He really does blush a lot... he always seems to act so cool around all the girls obsessed with him, I've only ever seen him get flustered around me. I mean... I'm not complaining...

"Well, we should probably still get up so we're not late. I'll go get changed into my uniform..." Satoru says as he stands up from the bed and leaves my hold. "Ok then. I'll get us some cereal for breakfast." I go to stand up, but I don't want to because I feel really comfortable. Maybe I'll read for a bit before getting ready for the day. I hear the shower water turn on, I guess Satoru is taking a shower. I open my book to my bookmarked page and start reading.

I hear the water of the shower turn off quietly and I hear Satoru getting out. "AGHHHHHHHHH" I hear. "WHAT???" I reply to Satoru's shout. "I HIT MY FOOT ON YOUR STUPID SINK!" Satoru yells back. I walk over to my bathroom to check on him. I knock on the door lightly. "You ok Satoru? Are you bleeding at all?" "Noooo, it just really hurts. Why is the bottom of your sink so hard???" I can't help but chuckle in response to that.

Satoru comes out of the bathroom wearing his uniform, using one foot to jump forward and the other being held in his hand. "Here Satoru, lean on me." I put my arm under his shoulder and around his back so that I'm carrying some of his weight on me. "I hope I don't get a big bruise all over my foot..." Satoru says while looking away from me. I walk him over to the kitchen and get him to sit down on the chair besides mine at my table.

"Here's your fancy gourmet cereal. I even got sugar so that you can put some in your cereal to make you feel better." Satoru smiles a tiny bit at this, as I know that he had a habit of putting sugar in his cereal when he was younger. I had heard that from Satoru himself when he was talking about his childhood. Apparently, he had always been really popular which makes sense.
