Better with you - Gojo x Geto

Chapter 16

-Geto POV-

As me and Shoko are walking away from school after getting our missions, she is already asking me about why Satoru was taking a shower at my place. How much attention does she pay to stuff me and Satoru say??? "So is Satoru living with you? Is he sleeping over at your place? Did you kidnap him?"

I finally give up my silence. "Well, we have to decided to... live together." I say hesitantly. I don't know if Satoru will be fine with me telling Shoko this... "Whattt??? When did this happen??" Shoko asks quickly. "Well, we realized that we live so close and we already spend most of our time together so we figured it would be a good idea."

Shoko looks away for a second and I can tell she's annoyed that we didn't tell her immediately. "Shoko, it's not that big of a deal, I mea-" "ARE YOU TWO SLEEPING IN THE SAME BED???" Shoko interrupts. "No... of course not I mean uhh... why would we?" Shoot, Shoko can probably tell I'm lying. She's really good at that.

Shoko looks really happy, it's sort of creepy. Then, she suddenly gets a serious look on her face and she steps in front of me so that I can't walk forward. "So Suguru, how are you feeling around Satoru? Do you feel any "weird feelings" that you don't understand? Any "thinking he would be good as a romantic partner"?

Now I'm confused. Why is Shoko asking these questions? Even though I really hate to admit it, I have been feeling some weird feelings as she puts it, and I think she would be the right person to talk to about them.
"Well, I guess I have sort of felt weird around him, but not in a bad way. It's like a... nervous embarrassed happy. I just can't tell what it is, maybe I don't wanna be close with him anymore..."

That thought makes me uncomfortable, I know myself well enough to know that I definitely don't wanna be separated from Satoru. "Well, try thinking about those feelings." Shoko says. "I am 99% sure I know what you are feeling towards Satoru, but I'll let you figure that out yourself."
How in the world does Shoko know what I'm feeling when I don't???

-Shoko POV-

These are some very crazy developments. Satoru and Suguru have been living in the same apartment and sleeping in the same bed. That's already really weird to try and understand, but to add to that, Suguru is feeling "Weird feelings" towards Satoru.
Well, it's really obvious that he likes him!
Now that both of them like each other, what will they do? One thing that Satoru is better at than Suguru is realizing his feelings!

When Satoru started liking Suguru he almost immediately realized it. No "Ohhh no, he's just my friend!" Or beating around the bush about liking someone. Suguru on the other hand is a different case. He really said "Nervous embarrassed happy" out loud and hasn't realized that he likes Satoru. I honestly think that he's liked Satoru for a long time and has never thought about it at all.

-Gojo POV-

This stupid foot. I ended up just calling one of the Jujustsu academy cars, and now I'm sitting here in silence being driven by this guy with light blue hair and blue eyes. He looks younger than me, and he looks very calm. There is still about 30 minutes till we get to the destination, and I have 2 options.
Start a conversation, hoping that it doesn't stop within 2 minutes or keep sitting in mildly awkward silence.

Definetely option one, I'm gonna have the best conversation of my life with this guy. "Hey, so, how do you uhhhh... fight curses?" That was definitely a weird conversation starter. "Actually, I don't fight curses. My job at a skateboarding shop is getting a early summer, and I wanted to do a job. My boyfriend fights curses, and he told me that I should try being a driver for your highschool as a summer job." The driver replied.

I was surprised by him immediately saying he has a boyfriend. Most Lgbtq people I've met aren't so open about it, but I think it's really great  that this guy isn't nervous about me being homophobic or something. If I ever date Suguru, l'll tell everyone that I'm dating him. I can just picture it now, announcing to everyone in existence that I'm dating this awesome guy.

Now that I think about it, this is literally my last week of school before summer. How have I not realized that until now???
"Do you have any summer jobs planned? Summer is pretty soon for you too right?" The driver asks. "No not really, I'm planning on having a really chill summer and this is my last week before the break. I just started living with my best friend, and so I'm gonna spend most of my time with him probably." I reply.

As we continue driving, we chat casually. This guy seems interesting, he's from Canada and he used to snowboard but then he started skateboarding. That's actually a pretty cool story, I wonder why he moved here to Japan.
"Actually, my boyfriend was the one who taught me how to skateboard. He's kinda crazy, and he's really good at skateboarding too."

Honestly, now I feel like I have to bring up Suguru somehow. This Skateboarding guy has mentioned his boyfriend twice. What if I just say a little... white... lie? Would it really hurt or affect anyone if I tell this guy that I'm dating Suguru? No it won't! I wanna be the one talking about my amazing boyfriend to someone I just met.

"Actually, I'm... dating someone too. He fights curses and... he's really strong and tall and perfect. Im living with him and... we always have so much fun together! He's actually doing a different mission right now." I say.

"Not to be annoying but I thought you were living with your best friend?" The driver asks confused.

Shoot, he payed good attention to what I was saying.
