Contrary to popular belief, Gojo Satoru was never in a relationship. And he was fairly awkward to say the least. Sure, girls had a crush on him and he was chased all around the block, but he never truly attempted to make a move so it never worked out. Because of his job and because of who he was- the honored one, brought a veil of loneliness in his life and misfortune to people who associated with him. He never really knew how to deal with girls- joking and teasing was his way to go, but that only brought him rejection and girls would often shift their feelings to Suguru. His youth flew before his very eyes and he's 30 now. All of his friends died mostly and he's still taking care of the kids. At least he has a goal to maintain and raise a powerful generation of young sorcerers. It still doesn't take away from the fact that he's a lonely 30yo man. He could deny it as much as he wanted to, but it pained him.

Because of the staff shortage, Tokyo high was in dire need of new recruits, and that's where you came into the picture. A foreigner yet so oddly familiar, the girl next door, acquainted with the sorcery and sacrifice that came with it. Your serious expression and tired eyes told him everything, there was no need for words. He understood quite well, he could relate to you and find solace in the fact that someone shares his burdens now that he's not so completely alone anymore. You're so young, so pretty and yet so damaged by the world that it makes him feel overprotective of you. He wants to give you peace the way nobody ever did for him. But that's ok, he's the strongest after all. You're smiling under your breath, you're a sorcerer as much as he is. He's supposed to do his job and not care too much about what's going to happen to you on missions. The truth is- he didn't want to lose another person again.

So he took you out everywhere, one day it was Tokyo's famous coffee shop, the other was a prestigious high end restaurant. You realize he's rich, still, you didn't want to take advantage of him. He insists, he wants to spend time with you. He wants to know you better, ever went as far as escort you to dorms to take a look at your room. You tell him you're not the glitz and glam type of girl and that you're ok with the normie stuff. And he liked you more for it. So you had room hangouts, small coffee dates and arcade games. Sometimes it makes him cry when he remembers that he used to do all those things with Suguru and Shoko before. You felt nostalgic too, your childhood was basically ripped from your hands and there was nothing you could do about it except reminisce. But you were adults now and lingering on the past was useless. Only thing you could do was move forward.

Satoru doesn't like to talk about himself much, you noticed. But that's ok. It's probably a dark story, not much different from yours. You already knew of the Gojo clan and their connection to Michizane Sugawara. All his family members are dead, you didn't know why but that's probably what happens when you're a well known name in this dark sorcery world. Everyone goes for your head, especially the higher ups. Which is ironic considering they're supposed to be associates. Maybe he is the strongest but this was a thankless job. And sometimes it seemed like everything was put up against him. Not you though.

At first you were plainly colleagues, nothing special. Then friends. Then the lingering touches started to feel more frequent than usual. Then he kissed you for the first time- it was when he opened up and how he's wishing for more positive things, something that could potentially lighten up his world. He doesn't want to be alone and he doesn't want to feel like life just flashed before him. He wants to make an impact, even if it meant making you happy, because you were enough to him. And you felt the same way. This love didn't feel like fire, a burning spark of the moment- hurried and tasteless. It felt like a deep sea of calmness and assurance- you could be yourselves with each other, you didn't have to pretend anything. Because being each other's safe space was enough.

Funny, Tokyo high needed new recruits again since you were on maternity leave and no matter how long they awaited your return, you never quite seemed to come back to work. Satoru is laughing because they're blaming him for everything and he can't deny it because it's the truth. He has a beautiful wife and beautiful babies to come home to and the best part- you don't have to be exposed to the dangerous sorcery world anymore. The kids were lively and annoying but god did they remind you of him. They preferred you more though. You're laughing and Gojo is pouting because it's not his fault that he's away from home all the time. He's missing you so much. But, of course, they're sleeping with him when you're away doing your face routine before bed. You return to your room and see them huddled in Gojo's arms. It's adorable and you get emotional again.

Please don't die Satoru. His missions were getting dangerous by the week and seeing his smiley face on the doors hugging your kids was everything you could hope for. You begged him to change jobs but he doesn't want to listen. He claims that he's responsible for the imbalance of the world and therefore he should be the one keeping everyone safe. He's stricken with guilt. Or maybe it's his hero complex that makes him so rebellious to authority and, in this case, his wife. But he'd rather die a honorable death than be taken out by something embarrassing such as old age or sickness. You're begging him to think of the kids and he does, he's thinking about them every single day. Their safety is his top priority, so is yours. And you're scared, you really are. You love him so much. You wish things could be easier, but it's ok. As long as you have each other's backs it didn't matter. You can overcome any obstacles together. He's not alone, he has a family now.

[inardescere]

«I'm sorry».

That wasn't something he expected to hear right now. In a tone familiar as it scratches at old scabs in the corner of his heart. When bright red eyes slowly turn to look behind him, dark cape fluttering in the chilling wind and blending into the darkness, he swears he saw double; of the man now and the young teen who feared for his life under the same piercing gaze, merged as one.

An apology.

It's been six... seven years? Longer than he felt, shorter than he thought. After all this time, a long journey and coming back, not once did they share any apologies for what had happened. At first, Diluc had still been too caught up in his own grief and turmoil to think straight. It would be a complete lie to say he hadn't crossed the line of anger that particular night, convinced that he was betrayed and their promise broken, ready to destroy everything and anything that left cracks in the world that he carved for himself.

Yet, from the moment he received his first letter from Kaeya suggesting he leave in the dead of night to avoid people, he had understood that he made a mistake. To believe everything in the past decade had been lies was hard when he had seen all those different faces of the young boy who grew up by his side, and even now, to be on the receiving end of his concern. As someone who lived under the same roof, the person closest to him, he should have known why he reacted the way he did. As an older brother, maybe he could have been more attentive-- good enough for him to share the burden.

However, emotions simply do not work that way and it wasn't a matter so easily explained. No matter how much he regrets it, it was done.

Now, it comes down to this. Does he forgive Kaeya? The more important question is, did he truly hate him for what he has done? For a moment, there had been a spark that burned all his insides till he tasted ash and blood on his tongue. There was no denying what would have happened if Kaeya had not held his ground with his vision bestowed upon his hand. That scared him more than he was willing to admit. But the memories burned in his eyes softened with the gentle breeze of time. If anything, all he had left was deep-set sorrow for all he had lost and hope for their newfound relationship. However, it was also the passing of time and how close they once were, that had made things too awkward to say those apologies.

Inside him, he no longer held resentment for Kaeya. But what of Crepus? Then again, was it right to be angered for a dead person when they have mourned so?

"It's in the past now." You're forgiven. There are still things that need to be set straight, and maybe he will sit and ask about them again. But right now... his useless pride and fear begone. "I'm also sorry." Diluc takes a glance at the eyepatch which hid the scar that he caused during their fight. Kaeya would joke about it to lighten the mood, accusing him of being so clueless as to not realize he wasn't blind in that eye. Diluc thought it was annoying how easily he brushed it off. He remembers penning the letter, both angry and guilty at the one-sided messages sent his way as he traveled. Diluc had been equally glad and distraught that Kaeya had not simply forgotten him and let him be. Moreover, a different feeling had bloomed in his chest.

"Kaeya--" It takes two steps for Diluc to get close enough to reach for his wrist, eyes never breaking contact with the other's. He gives a light squeeze, just holding on in an attempt to keep the man there, keep him from possibly running away from his advances.

"I haven't forgotten the oath I swore to you, and I believe that you haven't either." Scarlet eyes shine earnestly as he takes another step closer, showing his unwillingness to back down. He wishes for a chance to show that even if they fight, he will come back to their promise-- to protect, to guide, to love; to remind what it means to be partners in everything. This time, he will keep it. "If you are still struggling to find an answer, choose me. I... Mondstadt and the Ragnvindr house has and will always be your home too. I will do everything in my power to protect both so that we don't have to lose them." What he really wants to say is... "Stay with me." Is he allowed to hope for a future where he does?

Day 144: Wednesday May 24, 2023 - “Happy Birthday Mama”

Audrie called an audible that took us out to Postino’s for boards on her birthday.  The real treat though was in seeing her boys all dressed up just for her!  We met Jess and Erik and ViLee and they seated us all in a reserved spot for the birthday girl, right by the door to give the kids a convenient in and out! At the end of the night, Audrie couldn’t choose her favorite photos, amongst all those great one of her babies (mine was of the creme’ brulee)

 Its nice that she has solid friends with their best timber in their hearts that stick by us now as we grow families.  As much as it was coming out to celebrate Audrie’s birthday, the real celebration is seeing these two grow up together.
