Satosugu fanfic||mostly fluff||

"Aww, c'mon, Suguru. It ain't that bad. It's not like anyone will notice." Gojou looks over the rims of his glasses and Suguru frowns at the bottomless blue. Sometime between Suguru waking up in Ieiri's office and now, Gojou had gone back to wearing his shades in lieu of the white bandages. When Suguru had asked about it, Gojou just laughed and said it's like old times, having Suguru back so why not go back to the shades? At the time of the explanation, Suguru thought that it was a stupid excuse but seeing him in the shades does give him faint pangs of nostalgia. Right now though, he just rolls his eyes at his reflection in the glasses. Leave it to Gojou to say something so stupid. "Satoru, I don't have an arm. I'm pretty sure people will notice."

"Hey," Suguru cuts off Gojou. For a few seconds, he mulls over what he wants to say. "I was serious earlier." "About what? That my personality is like a dumpster fire?" "Well, that too. At least you finally admit it." Suguru chuckles. "What I meant was that the girls really do want to see you again. They've been bugging me for the past month." He trails off, hating that this'll just stroke Gojou's already inflated ego.

"You really okay with this?" "With what?" Suguru glances up from the counter, quirking up a brow. It's not really like Gojou to beat around the bush with him. "Like, living like this. I mean, I'm not saying that it's a bad way to live but you were one of the strongest sorcerers alive." There's another pause and Suguru can just about hear the unspoken words 'we were the strongest' that hang between them. "Are you fine with being just a ramen vendor?"

"Marry me." Gojou hoarsely whispers, pleading with him. Suguru's eyes widen as he's overcome with shock and confusion. Suguru had been expecting a lot of things for Gojou to say but he had never thought that a marriage proposal would be it. In the back of his mind, he idly wonders if this is some sort of sick game that Gojou is playing. Since everything is falling to pieces, maybe Gojou just has to have one final laugh. Suguru had always thought that he was subtle about his affections towards Gojou but perhaps Gojou had known all along. Suguru opens his mouth to say no. He doesn't see the point in marrying Gojou. He wants to lash out and tell Gojou that he's already lost and his only available path is a twisted and dark road full of pain and regret. He means to refuse the offer and to tell Gojou to leave and never try to find him but those words die on his tongue when he sees the absolute desperation and panic in Gojou's eyes. "Okay." He whispers.

Suguru Geto never expected to live a long life, but he never imagined that it would end like this.
