Imprisoned》Attack on Titan: No Regrets

Flashback

Gojo was getting bored of lounging around his room while Lucy read more books about other dimensions. It was already one in the morning, but Lucy showed no signs of going to sleep. Even though he knew she only slept for two hours, he couldn't help but worry. The only time she would sleep in his bed was after they had sex, but other than that she would fall asleep on a chair or the couch.

Tonight is no different. Lucy sat on Gojo's lap with her book as he caressed her leg in the hope it would soothe her enough to sleep. He'd tried everything to get her to sleep more, excessive exercise, sex, warm milk, more sex, having her count sheep, even more sex, yet nothing seemed to work.

He tried to distract her from her reading too by peppering her neck with kisses. Lucy seemed unbothered by it until he bit her neck.

"If you're tired just go to sleep," she dismissed him. She grabbed her tea before taking a small sip.

"I'm not tired at all. I'm like a night owl," he said before his yawn betrayed him.

Lucy raised a brow. "Uh-huh." She went back to her book. "No one's telling you to stay up, Gojo. Or wait for me."

Gojo groaned as he tilted his head back. "How are you not tired? Kugisaki is grouchy when she doesn't get enough sleep. Although, it's pretty funny with Utahime." He could practically see her with bags around her eyes but he made her look more like an old lady.

"Yet, you wonder why people don't like you," Lucy commented as she closed her book.

"You like me."

"That's still debatable." Somehow Lucy felt herself getting a bit drowsy. Her mouth opened before letting out a tired yawn.

"Getting sleepy yet?" Gojo grinned.

"Nah, just a bit dizzy," she said as she leaned her head against his chest.

"Hmmm, odd," he pondered. "Maybe you need a good bedtime story! I know a bunch of pretty good ones and knowing you, you might want me to read you about how the prince and princess get their happily ever after! There are a lot of options out there: Cinderella, Sleepy Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Snow White. I'm talking about the happy ones, not their real tales. Like how the prince in Rapunzel fell from the tower and landed in a thorn bush, eye first. Although, maybe I should start you off with the classics -"

Gojo stopped when he heard heavy breathing. He glanced down to see Lucy passed out with her hand on his chest. She snuggled a bit closer to him to get more comfortable and warm. At the sight, Gojo smiled before taking out his phone to snap a photo. Once he pocketed his phone, he carried Lucy toward their bed before looking at the cup of tea on the table.

Someone might've slipped some melatonin in her tea while she wasn't looking.

Flashback Over

"GOOD MORNING, ROOMIES!" Gojo exclaimed, waking up the whole house as Levi, Lucy, Farlan, and Isabel entered the kitchen. They were surprised to find it spotless.

"Woah, this is cleaning to the next level!" Isabel beamed as she glanced at the floor. She grinned when she saw her reflection. "I could even see my face!"

"Yup, this floor is food enough to eat on. Which I wouldn't recommend since there's a table." He hummed when Levi walked over to the table and ran his fingers underneath. Levi was surprised when he didn't feel any dirt or grime. "I made sure to clean every corner and...!" Gojo held out two cups of tea to Levi and Lucy. "I made some tea just how you two like it!"

Farlan shook his head in annoyance. "There's no way you know how," he said as Lucy took her cup. "There's a special way -"

"It's fine, Farlan," Lucy cut him off as she took a sip of her drink, surprising him and making Gojo smirk. "He didn't screw up something...this time."

Farlan smiled when Gojo gasped. "I never screwed up anything in my life!" Gojo cried before thinking, I've made your tea enough times to do it in my sleep. He hugged Lucy from behind. "How could you be so cruel, Lulu?!"

Lucy brought her fist up and punched Gojo's nose, making him stagger back a bit. "Get your filthy hands off me," she snapped.

Gojo held his nose. "Seriously, is this the thanks I get for making you breakfast?!"

Lucy set her tea on the table before roughly grabbing Gojo's wrist. She held his hand up high to show him all the dirt and polish that was still stuck to him. "Your hands are dirty. It's disgusting."

Farlan held back a laugh while Isabel just gawked at her. "But Big Sis..." she trailed off.

"He should have known better," Levi said, unfazed by everything. He grabbed Lucy's cup. "You and I need to talk..." Levi glanced at Farlan, Isabel, and Gojo. "Alone." Lucy sighed before dropping Gojo's wrist. She grabbed her cup from Levi before she left the kitchen. Levi went to follow her but not before he sent a death glare at Gojo. "If I catch you trying to eavesdrop on our conversation -"

"Yeah, yeah, you'll kick my ass," Gojo grumbled with his arms crossed.

Isabel and Farlan looked at him in shock, thinking white-haired man had some sort of death wish.

》》》》

It was a strange day. Levi took Isabel and Gojo out so they could learn more about the ODM gear before training them how to use a dagger. Gojo understood pretty quickly, surprising Levi, and they fought one-on-one. It was a close match, but Levi managed to pin Gojo on the ground.

"I could have kicked his ass if we were in my universe," Gojo grumbled as he walked toward the kitchen. He wanted something to ease his aching muscles before Farlan took him out on his first assignment together. "They fight well, but they're definitely not me. I'm just not used to fighting without my ability."

When Gojo rounded the corner, he froze. Farlan was fidgeting behind Lucy while she was making her cup of tea. Farlan's face was a bit flushed as he scratched the back of his neck, hoping it would calm his nerves.

What the hell's happening? Gojo mentally gasped. Farlan opened his mouth to speak. Is this where he proposes to her? Gojo felt his fingers twitch along with his heart slowly breaking. This isn't my Lucy. This isn't my Lucy.

"Marry m-" Farlan began.

The proposal shouldn't have bothered Gojo so much. It bugged him a bit whenever he saw Farlan and Lucy kiss, or the night where he heard them having sex. Gojo had to remind himself that this is past Lucy, not his Lucy, who's out there trying to release him from the Prison Realm. Yet, hearing the story is a lot different than witnessing his girlfriend getting proposed to by another guy. It struck a core in him so much that he quickly rushed into the kitchen without hesitation.

"Farlan, I'm ready!" he beamed happily. Farlan jumped back in fright while Lucy looked just about done.

"Ready for what?" Farlan asked with a hint of annoyance.

"Uh, the mission," Gojo replied in a duh tone. "Levi paired us together. I think it's a waste of time, but he said you needed a lookout." He let out a fakest gasp while looking between the two. "Did I interrupt something?"

Farlan glared at him. "Yeah, you -"

"Now, I feel bad. You know what, pretend I'm not even here." Gojo backed away to grab a chair and sit down. "Continue."

"No need," Lucy sighed. Gojo couldn't help but notice the disappointment in her voice. "You two need to head out. The mission is your top priority." She leaned up and kissed Farlan's cheek before leaving.

Farlan wanted to reach out to stop her. He wanted to grab her and propose like how he planned it, but it was ruined.

"So...." Gojo trailed off. "Anything interesting happened?" Farlan scoffed before walking away, ticked off how things turned out. "Is that a yes?!" Once he was alone, Gojo dropped his smile before letting out a tired breath.
