One Sky, One Destiny

Gojo feels his heart clench for the first time in years, the moment is too slow for his liking. The sorcerer is hit with a feeling he had long abandoned, but he knows he in deep this time.

-

He didn't mean for it to happen, you're fun, so much joy. You bought a bit of light and color into his dull life again, and he appreciates it. At first when you arrived you're just another colleague he could tease and bully, he'd rather not hook up with people he has to still work with. That kind of professionalism he still has in him, or it just too bothersome to have some deluded women cling to him.

It's unknown to him, but he started to see you as more than just acquaintance. Gojo likes to keep that distance in his life, being the strongest has its perks, but also its downside. He has become untouchable quite literally, but also in the metaphoric sense.

Out of peoples reach and hard to approach.

Perhaps even a deep insecurity of his not to allow more people in, so he couldn't lose more, but that's a topic he'd rather not talk or even think about. It's all buried in his teen years, and he won't start digging now.

The first time in what feels like forever someone has become someone even remotely close to him. Suddenly his free time wasn't just him spending it on his own traveling through full yet empty streets.

You've become a friend, a companion in his life. It's not like it's an unknown concept for him, but still a little foreign. Someone wants to spend their time with him, tolerates his teasing and doesn't just want any benefits from it?

At first, he seeks for it, there is something he can offer you right? There must be something you're looking for.

Is it something simple as his strength? Are you looking for power? A strong ally to side with you? His name? His title? Fame? Are you looking for materialistic? Money? Curse tools maybe? Or are you shallow? Is it his looks? He is handsome right? You want a date? A good fucking? Is it curiosity? The surrounding rumors about him?

There are so many things and more Gojo can offer, and he'd love to know what you're looking for.

He test and tries offering you all of them yet all you're giving him is a weird look. He had tried to be discreet about it.

"...Gojo I appreciate it...but I don't really need help with anything right now." you told him as you brushed of all his strange offers.

When it came to the more shallow things he tried to tell himself that he was right. You're just another shallow person, being lured in by his looks.

Hitting it off on a couple dates, a couple hook-ups, that felt a little too intimate in his book, but also not unenjoyable.

This must be it, you're here with for his good looks, its good enough for him at least he has to worry less now. At least he has reason to keep you at distance.

In his eyes you've become another shallow person that just adores him, or at least that's what he tried to tell himself.

Its confusing when he suddenly doesn't get up to leave early in the morning after you two slept together. It's confusing when he presses a kiss to the crown of your head in the morning instead of sloppy make-out session that lead to even sloppier head.

Still he doesn't let it get to him too much.

So when you two had an off day, and you took him out to some fancy café that you've recently discovered, he knows he can't lie to himself anymore.

When your attention suddenly shifted from him to the window outside just admiring the sunny day, the people walking outside, he saw it.

He saw your soft gaze, that he knows isn't fake, the same soft gaze that is always directed at him. So when his eyes met yours he knows.

Gojo knows.

It's the first time in years he doesn't see his own reflection in their eyes, he sees you. It's when your eyes don't mirror him anymore, but he sees that sweet loving gaze, directed at him that he had started to return.

The moment took to long, but maybe that what he needed. Maybe it's cliché, but for the first time in years everything on his mind is gone. His loud surrounding, all his senses blank, it's just you and him together. It's not just him and the rest of the world.
