Arrogant hearts [ 傲慢な心 ] : Gojo Satoru

Chapter 24

Gojo did not look awkward hanging around in the living room while looking at some magazines that were laid out on the coffee table. You placed the iced coffee you made for him with a clink and a small frown on your face.

"You made yourself at home, I see"

"Yes, I did... Thanks for the coffee, did you make it? Looks yummy" he took a sip from the coffee and his eyes widened "It IS yummy, just the right amount of sugar"

How could he act so normal at someone else's house when he came for the first time? "I know you have a sugar addiction"

"It's a lifestyle, baby"

You rolled your eyes at his grin and sat down next to him while he gulped the rest of the coffee.

"Can you tell me the recipe?"

"No, just search the internet or something" You mumbled.

"Aww, why should I when the master is right next to me?" He pouted dramatically, leaning to look straight at your face.

You lowered your voice "Um.. so about last night-" his finger was instantly on your lips.

"Shhh" His voice was low, raspy... just like the night before. This was bothering you more than you showed and you could see Gojo would do anything to stop you from talking about it.

"I was going to tell you that I'll pay you back for the clothe-"

"Shhh" he shushed you again "it's a... gift" he smiled, his face tilting to the side.

"Ah, thank you... but I will feel like I'm in debt-"

"Shh-" He was starting to shush you again when his mouth was covered by your hand.

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

He chuckled, and leaned back to look at your whole face while taking both your hands in one hand. "Yes... no...? What do you want me to tell you?"

"Don't pull that on me, I am already mad with you... it doesn't matter what answer comes out of your mouth, I will-"

"Get a room, you two! Ugh" Your sister stuck her tongue out in disgust.

"We were just talking!" you looked away from both faces that were on the left and right side of you.

"Yeah, do you have to hold hands to talk?" Your sister frowned. She didn't look like she was joking, she looked seriously disgusted and annoyed. You couldn't help but feel like you were doing something wrong. Maybe Gojo isn't someone your heartbeat should increase for.

"Friends hold hands when talking, it isn't that wrong" Gojo retorted, seeing you silently looking at the space.

"But they don't get that close when talking" Your sister gave you a sharp look. "And my sister isn't comfortable with physical touch unless she is very, very close with them"

"She is very, very close with me" Gojo smirked, giving you a single glance to see you still spacing out. "Y/N?"

"Huh? Oh, what? What did you say?"

You got a weird look from your sister and Gojo this time. "We are close, right?" Gojo asked, shrugging off your weird behaviour.

"Not really" Your mumbled reply made Gojo silent. He was collecting the pieces of his heart that were shattered to pieces. And you looked so nonchalant when saying that. Maybe the USA people were really... different from people in Japan. Your eyes were shooting hearts just the night before and now you were so... indifferent.

"Heh, told ya" Your sister smirked and gently caressed your hair.

"Uh, I'll go and check on-"

"I already did, she told me she didn't need help" Your sister cut you off.
