Chapter 39

Her eyes slowly opened, her vision blurred as she felt like she was holding something, something thin and long. A muffled sound escaped her lips as she shifted onto her back. Her vision cleared, she looked down to see what she was holding—it was something pale.

"AHHH!" she screamed out and yeeted it away as she realised what it was.

She looked up, her gaze locking with a pair of eyes, blue and impossibly majestic.

"YOU BLIND BITCH!" she pouted and sat up instantly, the blanket still covering her.

Gojo sat casually on the bed, one leg bent with the other resting across his knee. He grinned at her reaction amused by her startled reaction to her realising she had been holding his arm while she slept.

"Good morning~" he laughed. It was a loud, carefree, and annoying to Y/N.

She crossed her arms and pouted like a little baby, her eyes drifted to Yuji who sat in a relaxed manner on a chair. The chair's back facing them. His legs on either side, and his head rested against the backrest, hands resting loosely on his thighs.

"What do you think you were doing?!" she asked, her voice slightly muffled cause of her pouting.

"Hehe, I came here to wake you up, but you grabbed my arm and hugged it like it's your soft toy~" he teased, his eyes had a hint of mischief.

"Humpf, stop lying.." she mumbled as Yuji watched their totally normal behaviour.

"Why would I lie to you?" his voice teasing and playful. "You were hugging and squeezing my arm! You like me that much?"

"SHUT UP!!!" she exclaimed, her eyes narrowing in embarrassment and annoyance.

"Don't hurt me," he feigned innocence and hurt, his blue eyes glowed while he tilted his head a little. He was so dramatic.

Yuji giggled at their childish exchange while Y/N rolled her eyes at their Sensei.

After a few minutes of playful banter and teasing, Gojo's eyes shifted to the wall clock.

"Yuji, it's almost 12, you should go and prepare what I told you to," he spoke, his eyes on Yuji.

"Oh! right, let me get it ready then. Bye!!!" he stood and stormed off the room, not before bidding farewell to his favourite human, Y/N.

Y/N still annoyed at her Sensei, she nodded and waved bye to Yuji. After a brief pause, she threw the blanket off herself, swung her legs over the side of the bed, and stood up.

"Anyways, I'll go get fr—"

She cut herself off mid sentence as she felt a hand seize her wrist. Startled, she turned back, her eyes locking with Gojo's.

"You're not going anywhere until you answer my questions," he declared, his expression had no hint of earlier playfulness or teasing. All she saw was a serious, "I take no shit" look.

Y/N's heart skipped a beat at the intensity of his expression. She knew what was coming, but she didn't know how to handle it. She was scared.

Gojo's sharp blue eyes bore into hers, the atmosphere in the room grew tense. The carefree attitude he possessed moments ago has vanished completely. His grip was firm on her wrist, a silent command to comply.

She held his unwavering gaze with her surprised and uncomfortable expression, demeanour this intense was something she had never seen before in him. She wanted to speak up, but the pressure made it impossible for her.

He watched her reaction. Her eyes slightly widened, a sign of her awareness and unease. He knew his presence and gaze was intense and almost intimidating.
