Satoru Gojo was tired.
No, tired was an understatement.
Satoru Gojo was completely exhausted.
It had been four years since Suguru left. Satoru knew it was wrong to still love the man that massacred an entire village, yet he found himself craving the affection he used to receive from the raven-haired man. He cried at night, holding onto whatever article of clothing Suguru let him 'borrow' (Satoru refused to give them back) and trying to inhale whatever scent was still there. Tonight was no different. Droplets of water splayed across Satoru's pale face, a sweatshirt held tight to his chest that had Suguru's name on the tag, and the sobbing of the strongest man could be heard from a mile away.
How was he strong if he cried this much?
He felt weak under Suguru Geto's influence.
-
"Satoru," and the honored one's lip trembled. "Let me help you."
February was Satoru's favorite month. He liked how alive everything looked, and the name itself sounded pretty to him. But what he wouldn't admit was that the true reason he loved it was because it was Suguru's birth month.
"I'm fine. I'm the strongest, remember?"
The ravenette sighed.
"You're upset. Don't lie to me, Gojo."
And for a second, Gojo wasn't the strongest.
"We're back to a last name basis, huh? Silly Sugu~ I don't know what I'm gonna do with ya!"
February 2. That was the day before Suguru's birthday. The day they had this conversation.
"Stop acting like everything is sunshine and rainbows. Talk to me, Gojo. That's all I need."
Satoru changed his favorite month later that day.
-
It was Wednesday, which meant Satoru had to go shopping.
He despised shopping, there always were too many people.
(But he couldn't pretend that he doesn't love the attention he gets from every woman around him.)
As he lazily pushed around a cart that was filled mostly with stuff he didn't need, he stopped.
A firm grip on his shoulder shocked him.
"Satoru."
Oh, how he hated that he knew that voice.
-
"Satoru, slow down. You're gonna get a brain freeze."
The boy in question simply laughed.
"Don't worry, Suguru! I'm the strongest!~ A little brain freeze isn't gonna- oh-"
Satoru wrapped his hands around his head in pain, slamming his face onto the table they were sitting at.
"Ow! Ngh- Suguru! Make it stooooppp!"
"..dumbass..."
A second later, the teen with silver hair was wrapped in the younger's arms. The shorter whispered sweet nothings and reassurances into the taller's ear.
Satoru loved his best friend's voice. If this wasn't heaven, he wasn't sure what was.
-
"Geto."
Saying the man's name made Satoru feel miserable.
A wound he tried so hard to close had re-opened.
"Geto, you... No."
Suguru- if it even was him- tilted his head.
"Satoru, it's me."
"Don't call me that."
The cursed user's eyes widened. His hand backed away from the shoulder it rested on.
"Y-You're not real," tears escape from Satoru's beautiful eyes. "You're just another fuckin' hallucination."
"I'm real, Sato- Gojo."
"No. I'm tired of this."
The younger one's breaths were noticably getting heavier. Suguru knew what was happening all too well
"Gojo, let me help you calm down."
"Don't come near me."
"I'm not taking no as an answer."
Before Satoru could move, Suguru hooked his arms underneath him and held him firmly to his chest.
"Breathe for me, Satoru."
-
It had been a month since they had reunited.
Suguru tried his best to be there for his past friend, though it felt foreign to both him and Satoru.
He hated how Satoru first flinched whenever he touched him, he always looked ready to burst into tears as well.
But Satoru got used to it, eventually, and found himself leaning into Suguru's warmth.
-
"Good morning, Satoru."
A soft groan erupted from the boy who had been woken up.
"...mornin', Sugu...."
Purple eyes closed as a certain sorcerer shoved his face into the smaller's chest. It no longer was uncomfortable or weird to them.
It felt like home.
And Suguru would be staying home forever, he decided.
-
"Sato? Baby?"
Suguru frowned at the empty mattress that sat neatly before him.
A small giggle could be heard.
Suguru shook his head disapprovingly.
"Satoru, I will choke you if you are hiding under the bed again."
Another giggle. Suguru swept down onto the floor, looking under their shared bed. No sign of his best fri- lover.
Oh, right. I forgot to mention that they got together.
Suguru frowned.
"Sato- ah!-"
Two bodies thud against the floor.
"Gotcha!~"
Suguru gets attacked with kisses and pecks on the face, causing a protest himself.
"Satoru, stop! Where the hell were you even hiding?!"
"In the closet, hehe~ And I'm afraid I won't stop!"
This continues for a few more minutes before the Limitless user gets tired. Suguru pats his head with a small smile plastered on his face.
"You scare me when you hide like that. It makes me think you're the one leaving this time."
"Whaaaaatt? How could I ever leave my Sugu boo?"
"Please don't call me that."
"Ugh, fine."
And they stayed like that for a long time, making up time they lost so many years ago.
"Satoru-"
"Suguru-"
"-I think you're perfect for me."

It's been such a long time since he's been to a place such as this. The restaurant was luxurious, maybe a bit too much in his opinion. The staff, the food, the decorations, it all screamed expensiveness.
His suit was probably even worse. It felt tight, unnatural. He wasn't used to wearing clothes other than completely regular. The best he could usually do was a white shirt with some pants, that was it. After all, why would he need anything else?
You. It was you. You were the reason he needed something else. You didn't force him, per se. He did it voluntarily. Grogu was still small and didn't care about how he looked but you? He wanted you to see him.
You were so special to him. Kind, funny, engaging, drop dead gorgeous. In the darkness that was his life, you were the moon illuminating his path. Guiding his way home.
Home to you.
At first, it surprised him when you agreed to the date. If he didn't know you, he would think it was a joke. A cruel mockery of how he, of all people, could think he had any chances with someone so divine. You meant it however. The smile on your face, the sparkle in your eye, it all proved your words.
Sitting at the table reserved for the two of you, he both loved and regretted he asked in the first place. What if you didn't like it there? What if he made a fool of himself? So many things could go wrong and wouldn't be able to stop any of them if it came down to it.
Knowing you though? You wouldn't care less about things that trivial. His mind flickered back to the memory of you.
You.
Sweet you.
The way you held his hand when he'd asked you out because it trembled so much. The way you listened so intently to what people had to say even when you felt unheard. The way you cared for Grogu as if he were your own and not your coworker's son.
Yeah, you'd understand.
Check the time.
Check the time.
Why weren't you there yet?
You were supposed to arrive at 7 PM. He arrived earlier of course. He didn't want you to wait in case he arrived later. And suddenly, he was the one waiting. It's been, what, 10, maybe 15 minutes?
Probably traffic, he told himself. He knew how it was these days. Everyone always rushed, as if unable to take a break. You were most likely in a taxi, trapped in a traffic jam.
Everything was fine.
It's been 30 minutes now. Where were you? It was getting frustrating. Especially when waiters came and went, always asking questions about his order. He wouldn't order. Not until you arrived.
He tapped the table, eyes fixated on the candle in the middle. The fire was so bright and yet, it couldn't compare to your smile. He'd kill to see it at least once. Just for a second, not even that. Even if it wasn't directed at him, even though he'd prefer if it were.
But no.
You weren't there.
He sent you so many messages, called a few times, all worried for your possible safety. What if you were in a car accident? Were you walking and someone decided to attack you? Did you hit your head when leaving your home? The possibilities were endless, every new one worse than the last.
He didn't seem to notice when an hour passed. Nor the second. He wouldn't dare look at the time, his attention constantly shifting between the building’s entrance and your completely untouched seat.
A sigh slipped past his lips when he finally forced himself to do so. It'd been over 2 hours. He couldn't wait any longer. He promised Grogu he wouldn't take too long, the kid needed him after all.
He hated it. The pitiful look the waitress gave him as he paid for the unexpectedly expensive wine he ordered, taking the unfinished bottle with him.
The February air chilled him more than he'd like, his hands freezing from the coldness of the bottle in his hand.
All the while, his mind struggled to come up with a reason for your absence. Maybe you were actually hurt? That was the only explanation that didn't make him question your lack of messages.
Or maybe you simply didn't like him and didn't know how to voice it.
Honestly, he wouldn't blame you. He didn't consider himself particularly likeable either. Messy, awkward, rugged and always tired. Why would you desire that?
The thought stung.
Was he really so bad that you, the kindest creature he'd ever met, couldn't accept him?
It was probably for the better.
“Din! Din wait!”
That voice. The voice so angelic that a part of his soul left his body any time he heard it suddenly called his name.
Turning his head towards where it came from, there you were. You weren't waving at him as you attempted to run, breathless with reddened cheeks from the cold.
You were a mess too to be honest. Dishevelled hair, slightly messy fancy clothes as if you barely managed to put it on properly along with loud gasps for air.
To him, you looked like a deity either way.
“I'm so, so sorry. I-I was tired from work and took a quick nap a-and I overslept the alarm and when I woke up it was already late,”
you rambled on and on about how sorry and ashamed you were for leaving him in the restaurant all alone, especially considering how expensive the reservation was. He didn't utter a word throughout the whole speech.
He didn't care if you noticed his silence. Or the tiny smile on his lips. Or the softness in his eyes. He was simply glad to see you, his day suddenly brighter than before.
And then, you fell silent. Your eyes stared up at him, searching for any sign of anger, of disappointment. There was none. Just pure unfiltered adoration.
“Don't worry. I'm just glad nothing bad happened to you,”
his words made your eyes widened, those twinkling in the soft light of city lamps. How beautiful, he thought. Then again, he thought that about every single thing you did.
His sharp gaze detected how the tension in you shoulders fell, a small sigh of relief escaping into the chilly weather.
“Could I make it up to you in some way?”
you were so kind. So desperate to make sure he wasn't disappointed, to make sure you kept your promise of joining him on a date that night.
He didn't need any persuasion.
Grogu was already dreaming away in his bed when Din joined you in the backyard of his home. You didn't notice him at first, making it the perfect opportunity to admire you.
There you were. In his garden. You were silent, staring up at the moon which felt like a shiny trinket compared to you. The soft smile on your lips as you snuggled into the blanket he lent you made his heart skipped a beat. A silent wish passed through his mind, a prayer of stopping the time so that he could worship you in his mind for eternity and more.
“There you are, I was getting worried,”
you smiled as you noticed his presence. He didn't reply as he sat down next to you, stealing part of the blanket and snuggling closer to you. You offered the wine but his mind was only on the brief brush of your hand against his. It all made his head spin.
When you rested your head on his shoulder though? He was afraid he'd faint. Or maybe cry.
You chose him. Nothing could convince him otherwise. And even if you didn't, he wouldn't mind.
He didn't need much to be happy after all. Even if it didn't last long, all he needed was to drink wine under the stars, right by your side.
