â just a small drabble about Gojo sheltering you from the rain :)
It was like you didnât seem to care.
Walking slightly behind the first years, your arm outstretched, umbrella firm in your grasp as you shielded them from the timid monsoon invading your journey.
Your clothes were slowly soaking up the rain, but you neglected yourself the same protection as you provided to the students.
You clearly didnât notice how your hands were beginning to tremble, how the cold permeated your being like soaked glove, too focused on praising Nobara for her âExcellent display of leadershipâ during their last joint mission.
âAnd donât think Iâm leaving you boys out of this!â You gleefully empathised, glancing up ever so slightly to ensure the umbrella was still covering the three of them, âYouâre all really coming along with the whole âworking as a teamâ thing, well done!â
Gojo walked behind, watching you, always watching you, an almost unnoticeable downwards tilt on his lips as your clothes saturated in the downfall.
You were always so caring.
âYea!â Itadori beamed, his arms flinging over both Nobara and Megumi, pulling them closer. âWe do make a great team ay?â
âUnder my leadership, of course we do.â Nobara was grinning, her hand subconsciously stroking the brown sac in which her hammer lay, a cheeky look in her eye as she raised her head to look at Yuji.
âI had to point out the curse to stop both of you being surprise attacked you know?â Megumi muttered, glancing at the arm around his shoulder.
âOnly because Itadori got stuck under that shitty pile of rocks and wouldnât stop whining! I was distracted.â
âHey! That wasnât my fault- you pushed me?!?!â
âYou got in the way of my attack itâs not the same thing!â
âReally? âŚI could have sworn you were aiming for his head.â
âWhoâs side are you on here Megumi?!?!â
You turned back to Gojo, your eyes brimming with childish joy, you were reminiscing quietly of your own youth, holding back a chuckle, and Gojo couldnât help but stare, his blindfold hiding the softest expression, his face appearing impassive to any passer-byâs.
And youâre turning back around, a light bounce in your step ready to remind the trio that they all preformed excellently, and Gojo hesitated, eyes still focused on the way rain was pelting down on your figure.
In every sense of the word; Satoru Gojo is untouchable.
Heâs the strongest, basking in the glory of loneliness that such strength invites. Nobody can reach him, nobody will ever come close.
His name, status and abilities are simply, unreachable.
Not even the soft pitter patter of the rain can bridge the lack of contact.
Each droplet slowing and slowing until it gives up, deciding it's not worth a touch, that he's not worthy of touch.
Satoru Gojo was a man who braved the world alone, and this was a destiny he had known far too long to resent it, or to crave a world otherwise.
Until he met you, and your pretty smile, and your gentle way of care.
Pestering him when he doesnât report back after his missions, your voice laced with concern that he did not need.
Of course he came back ok, he was the strongest.
And yet you still worried, shaking your head at his carelessness.
âStrongest or not, Iâd prefer to know that youâre alive.â
And so Gojo hesitated.
His brain screaming at him to stay put, to not let you in, to stay as far away from you as he could possibly could.
Itâs better when heâs alone, heâs stronger when heâs alone.
But his body seemed to crave you as much as his heart yearned for you, and seemingly against his will, his feet sped up, taking two strides until he was beside you, an easy smile on his face, concealing the tremor he felt in his heart.
You look at him, your face glowing with an unperturbed joy, welcoming him into the conversation with an ease that comes naturally when youâre with him.
âMy amazing teachingâs paying off, eh?â His voice came out gentle, and you were sure he winked under his mask.
âMust be.â You giggle, and then youâre pausing, your eyebrows raised in confusion.
It was no longer raining.
Or more-so, it was no longer raining on you.
Turning your head you catch the slight smirk of the man beside you, who didnât attempt to share your gaze, instead opting to tease Megumi for pouting, his voice light, a small spring in his step.
And youâre ogling at how the rain falls towards you but stops just short, slowing to a halt.
You were in his infinity, he had shared his space with you.
You wanted to cry.
Quietly you whisper a small âThank you,â to Gojo, whoâs smile only widened.
He didnât reply, but the gentle feeling of his pinkie brushing yours made you swoon, persisting onwards, with your umbrella in-front of you, your hand entangled with the strongest.
