Pride aside - Gojo Satoru fanfic
It's always come natural for you to look out for your little brother (by a couple of short years) and even his best friend, Gojo-or at least it used to come naturally when you guys were kids. Now as Adults, Gojo is womanizing, flippant, cocky, and tends to play agitator; and while you still care about him, sometimes it isn't the easiest being around him.
Even so, you still care about Gojo. You've seen vulnerable sides of him that he's never shared with anyone and provide a listening ear to him when he needed. You wouldn't of quite described him as a second brother, but you did feel an attachment and appreciation toward him; and you imagined he felt the same.
So, for the life of you, you can't figure out why his behavior has shifted toward you. His smile towards you always seems to have a hidden cruelness in it, his stare, if hes not busy overlooking you, feels as if tis piercing through you when no one is looking. And when-IF-he talks to you? its feels damn near condescending. It's as if hes trying to make you annoyed on purpose to get a rise out of you...or maybe it's something much more personal that he's been harboring over the years.
