101 Disconnect

"I should probably let everyone know I'm okay." You said, patting Megumi's head before the boy pulled back. "I'm sure listening to that was awful."

Megumi shivered at the memory of it, "Everyone is in the common room. They might be sleeping though, that's how I snuck away."

Gojo had heard just how hard Megumi had taken everything from Nanami, information he didn't plan on sharing with you. Megumi's fellow students had likely been keeping a close eye on him since.

You frowned, looking up in thought. Really, the battle against Sukuna had been very successful. Now that both you and Gojo were healed there had been no casualties, and Yuta had taken care of Kenjaku. But everyone was in an awfully down mood thanks to yourself.

"Are we plotting something?" Gojo grinned.

You rolled your eyes, "No Satoru. I don't think some big surprise will pack the same punch a second time."

"Agreed." Megumi sent the man a dirty look. Seems being soft on him didn't last long.

"Just, maybe I'll wait until the morning if they're all sleeping. I know I just woke up, but I'm still exhausted." You said, gauging the reaction of the other two.

Megumi nodded, "That's fine, you should get some more rest, they won't know the difference anyways."

"Agreed, if they ask Megumi can let them know you're alright. For now everyone deserves some sleep, we can celebrate tomorrow." Gojo added.

You attempted a smile, "Everyone deserves some time to be happy after how well the battle went." The two cringed at that and you laughed awkwardly, "Now that I'm okay, anyways."

"I'll see you tomorrow then.." Megumi said with some hesitation, leaning away but unable to leave the room.

You quickly stepped forward to trap him in another hug, "I'll see you in the morning Gumi."

Feeling sure after your affirmation Megumi left the room with a quiet goodnight. In the hall Shoko and Nanami were waiting, having felt the spike in your cursed energy when you woke. They walked in behind Megumi, Nanami darting to scoop you into a tight hug. He let out a deep shaky breath, the tension he had been holding leaving with it.

He pulled back, hands on your shoulders. "How are you?"

You smiled with closed eyes, "Fake it till I make it, right Nanamin?"

He sighed heavily, bowing his head. "No, but we can worry about that later." He felt upmost relief you were in front of him, alive. He could worry some more later, right now he was only grateful.

"You seem perkier than I thought you'd be." Shoko mused.

"Do I? I could pass out right now to be honest." You laughed lightly.

"We should let you get some rest then." Nanami said seriously.

"Sure, let us talk for a sec though, yeah?" Shoko indirectly ordered, shooing the men out. You were amused at Gojo's offended expression, facing Shoko once it was just the two of you. "If you ever stress me out like this again, I'll kill you myself, got it?"

"Hmm, I dunno, no promises." You tapped your cheek teasingly.

She shook her head, placing something cold against your chest, letting it fall into your palms. "You have to hold that for me."

You looked at the lighter fondly, holding it tightly. "Fair enough. Thanks, Shoko."

Her smile slowly fell, eyes searching your own. "How are you feeling about Gojo?"
