BAD IDEA | GOJOU SATORU

chapter thirteen

The next morning is rough for everyone in the dorm, the two boys staying over for the night after what happened.

Satoru is sitting on the couch while you sleep peacefully.

He's the only one that hasn't been able to sleep. He's just been sitting on the couch the whole night, thinking of things he could do to Ryomen Sukuna—anything to ruin his life for what he did to you.

The door to your bedroom opens and he glances over, seeing you standing in the doorframe.

Silence.

"I have a bad hangover." You mutter, walk past him on the couch, and head into the kitchen to pour a glass of water.

He stands up carefully and walks into the kitchen, standing at your side. "Are you okay?" He asks.

As you sip your water, you glance at him. "Other than drinking a bit too much last night, yeah. Did something happen?"

Satoru doesn't know what to say. Is he supposed to tell you what happened so that you know? Or does he allow you to figure it out for yourself? He's not even sure if he could do it.

Just by looking at his face, you can tell that something has happened. But not in the way you're thinking. "Oh, what did I do?" Sitting the glass of water on the counter.

"Good morning. How are you feeling today?" Nayeli is standing at her bedroom doorway with Suguru.

You look over at her. "I'm fine, I think. Just hungover..." Looking down at the counter, you try to dig into your brain to remember. It only begins to make your head pound.

There's a loud banging that comes from the door and everyone glances over. Nayeli rushes over and looks through the peephole briefly before turning to face everyone, her eyes on Satoru.

Looking over, you meet his eyes with yours.

The banging continues. "Police!" They announce.

Nayeli puts a finger up to her lips and uses her other hand to direct you to the bedroom. You listen to her, despite being lost. And shortly after Satoru follows you.

You shut the door and look at him with confusion written all over your face. He lets out a sigh and sits on the bed, his head falling into his hands.

The couple remaining in the living room is dealing with the police for whatever reason, while you and Satoru wait in your room quietly.

Looking down, you notice the color red stained on your carpet. Leaning down, your brows furrow as you stare at it.

Satoru moves his head, watching you. "Yeah I'll get that out for you, don't worry."

"Is it your blood? Why were you bleeding?" You ask quietly, lifting from the ground.

You then notice his knuckles and how they're all bloody and bruised. "What happened last night, Satoru?" Walking over, you take a seat beside him on the bed.

He remains silent and the door opens, saving him from having to answer. For now, anyway. Nayeli is standing there. "All good. Cops are looking for you, Satoru. It may be wise for you to stay here for a bit." She is sure not to go into too much detail with you sitting there.

"Would anyone care to share what's going on?" You ask, looking at your friend with a hopeful look in your eye.

"Can we have a minute?" Nayeli asks Satoru and within a heartbeat, he's standing and leaving the two girls alone in the room. You watch as she comes closer, sitting beside you, where Satoru was once seated. "A lot happened last night. The cops are looking for Satoru because he beat Sukuna."

You look taken aback. "Why?" Once more you look down at the blood staining your carpet. "Because of me?"

Nayeli swallows hard. "Sukuna brought you here last night...and Satoru got here before anything really bad could happen. He lost control of his emotions. Sukuna is pressing charges against him for what he did and he's in the hospital."

"Oh." That's all you manage to say, eyes fixed on the stained carpet.

She snakes an arm around your neck and leans into you. "I'm sorry. I didn't really know what to do...or how to say it. I've never dealt with anything like this. But I didn't want you to feel lost."

You move slightly and rest your head against hers.

"Anything you need, I'm right here. And you have Satoru too." Nayeli says.

The night goes on and you're laying on the couch, watching TV, thinking of everything that's happened today. You're exhausted. Satoru is asleep on the floor on some sort of pallet he decided to make, and the other two are off in Nayeli's bedroom.

You raise slowly, looking at Satoru as he sleeps peacefully, light snores escaping from his lips.

Leaving the TV on, you exit the apartment and lock the door behind you.

The next moment you blink, you're standing in the middle of the local hospital.

"Ma'am...can I help you?" The woman sitting behind the desk asks kindly, standing up to get a better look at you.

"Uh, yeah. I'm just looking for Ryōmen Sukuna. I'm not sure what room he's in exactly." You almost hesitate to ask, knowing that what you're asking probably isn't the best thing.

For a moment she keeps her eyes on you before taking a seat and taking a look on the computer in front of her. "Who are you in relation to the patient?"

"A friend, I guess." You let out a breath and look down the hallway when you hear the sound of beeping approaching.

A cup flies from a room and smashes against the wall and you hear yelling. There is a doctor who is backing up out of the room and then he comes into view.

Your throat goes dry when you notice that it's Sukuna and you're frozen in place, not able to move an inch.

He's yelling at the doctor and he has bandages wrapped across his face, and he's pointing at his face as he yells. Suddenly he laughs and looks off to the side and that's when he notices you standing there.

You stare into his cold eyes and bits of the night before creep into your mind.

Sukuna says your name and you take a step back, immediately turning on your heels and rushing out of the hospital.

Stupid fucking mistake.
