I really didn't know what to say, other than I'm glad he's here. Every sorcerer that shows up is a win if you ask me. [Even if they're ones from uncomfortable circumstances that he's not sure how to approach.
Speaking of.]
He, uh, also mentioned something. There's someone from the Zen'in clan here? Someone named Maki?
What about her? Nanami's mentioned her but she's just one of the future students. If she was a threat, he'd have told me. The other two seem fine so I doubt she's anything to worry about. [He pauses for a moment, turns his head to just look at Gojo for a moment.]
Tell me you didn't run away from him because you didn't know what to say.
I guess, it's just-- [The way Haibara described her really through him for a loop. Let him not speak the name Toji Fushiguro in front of Geto, though.] It's not that I was worried. It's just strange for another sorcerer to slip by me like that.
[Well, the surprised expression on his face says that yes, he did exactly just that. He attempts to recover.]
I didn't run, I-- Suguru, what was I supposed to say? I said I was glad to see him, and I am. I told him what apartment we're in. I filled him in a little on what this place is like.
[For a moment, he struggles to think of what else he could have done. "Hey, how did dying work out?" Looking a little lost, he shrugs his shoulders, deflating a little.]
And then you bolted back here. [He shifts to stand, crosses the space between them, fingers catching Satoru's chin.]
I mean, you hit the social nicety bases, at least. [He pauses for a moment, exhales a breath.]
Don't visit Nanami's apartment without sending him a message first from now on. You think he'd be annoyed with you before, you'd really piss him off now.
[That's enough to get him to relax a little.] Well... The coffee was getting cold.
[For a brief moment, he looks confused as those gears turn in his head. Things have been going decently with him and Nanami now, a refreshing change. besides just usual Gojo nonsense, what would piss him off?]
What? Why would I--
[Then the light bulb goes off over his head. He looks surprised, then his eyes narrow slyly.]
More or less, I think. [Breakfast can wait, Suguru leaning in for another kiss, this one more lingering, hands dropping to cup Satoru's ass before he just picks him to carry him into the bedroom.]
[The reply comes fast, sounding adamant. He truly believes it. Gojo bites his lip, gathering up some courage. When he speaks again it's just as confident, but quiet.]
Given you're the only person who can make me feel like that- [ Geto
goes silent and still at those words, just staring at Satoru before he
moves, pins Satoru for another kiss. ]
Satoru. He whispers it when the kiss breaks. ] Say
it again.
[There is such a relief in him now that he's said it. He'd been so afraid to. Everything in their lives seemed so tenuous. Even Folkmore's promise of something of a normal life didn't feel secure to him. It probably never would, but every little bit helps.
He kisses him back tenderly, and when he finally dares to break it, he stays nose to nose with Geto.]
Just...promise me you won't leave here. No matter what happens or whatever offer the fox might give, just-- please.

I mean, now that you say it... hindsight is 20/20, as they say. Well, now I'm even more glad he's here. Nanami seems like he could use a win.

Date: 2024-01-16 04:21 pm (UTC)I mean, that's why he left after what happened to Haibara. He lost the love of his life. [ Geto shifts, catches Satoru in another kiss.[]
At least that's what he told me.

There's nothing worse than that. Nothing.
