Timeless

Chapter 13

"You know, I can see you making fun of me", Satoru grumbled at his two classmates.

"My bad, we were just saying how you look a dumbass with that bandage. Not that you without it aren't already one", Geto snickered.

"Middle finger to you, Suguru", Satoru turned to another person in the room, "Shoko, are you sure you can't just heal my eyes? I don't want to be looked down on by those old geezers."

"Nope, even your eyes need to rest after you tired them out", she finished wrapping a bandage over his eyes.

"Besides, I know that you have already tried to heal them on your own. If it doesn't work, it DOESN'T work. Don't even try to give me more work, Gojo."

"Yeah, but you are a pro at this. Maybe you could heal them right up", Satoru spoke with a whine.

"Just give them a day full of rest. Your eyes deserve it."

She seemed to be typing something on her phone.

"Yeah, it's not like we have any immediate missions. We just finished our three day long mission. Yaga-sensei wouldn't push another one on us that quickly."

"I know that but if those old geezers see me now, they would definitely say that I'm being reckless and don't know how to utilize my own skills. And who are you typing that much, Shoko?"

"Just a backup", she grinned at him evilly.

"What do you mean by a backup? I told you I can 'see' everything just fine."

"Not for you. Backup for me. I just know that you are going to try to take this bandage off earlier than tomorrow. And, I don't want to be around your stinky self all day so I'm getting this person to watch over you."

"Shoko, if you get Yaga-sensei or Ume-sensei to watch me, say goodbye to your secret stash of cigarettes."

"How did you even know where I can keep them?"

"Six eyes, remember? Even with this bandage, I can see them in the bottom drawer of the desk in this very room."

"He could replace all those bomb sniffing dogs at the airport. Right, Shoko?"

"He's already one. No?"

"Stop fucking around, guys!"

"Oh, you will thank me soon enough, Gojo."

"I'm NOT going to thank you for-"

"Satoru-senpai?!"

"Bunny?"

Satoru felt his breath taken at the sight of you frowning at the opened door. Geto and Shoko snorted a laugh when their friend's tone went from full volume loud to soft-spoken in a matter of deciseconds.

"Shoko-senpai told me that your eyes got hurt from the mission", you walked closer, concern written all over your face.

You stopped right before him with hesitating hands hovering over him, "Are they aching now? Can I hold you?"

It had been a few days since he had come to realize his feelings for you. Geto had to restrain Shoko from running off to tell you. After that, the team was sent away on missions for three days. It was adorable that you cared enough to ask to touch him because you probably thought that he couldn't see how cute you were being right now.

He let himself lean into your awaiting hands with a soft hum, "A little. I can't see anything with this on though."

A little white lie that he had allowed himself to tell you. Technically, he couldn't see the way other people see. He was able to just 'see' though.
