" Get a load of this guy. "
" I'm your senpai, you're my kouhai. "
genre: 13+, a tad bit of swearing, no inappropriate stuff right now, genuinely just dorkiness and banters.

â Get a load of this guy. â
was what circled through your mind all day, constant, nonstop, endless, eternal, ramming. The thought especially intensified whenever said guy got around you. You didnât need to turn around and let your gaze rake over him, or have your eyes marinate on his face to recognise who he was. You could sense him away from a mile. Uncoordinated, loud stomps? The most arrogant, the loudest laugh? The huffing and snickering through the nose, the smell of blue soda candy and whip cream.
you always thought hating somebody would be like putting them in the back of your mind and letting them wander around while you focus on yourself and donât give any shit about what they do or what they like. but no,
that wasnât the case. cause for you, he was in the front row of your mind. when you sleep, when youâre awake, when youâre far, when youâre close, heâs ALWAYS there. and he makes sure that he is.
â Youâre not allowed to be laying on the road like this. You could be run over, you know. â His fingers pinch and press against the empty candy wrapper inside his pocket, the sound itching your ear.
â I suggest you toâ â
â Shut UP, Gojo! â You whip your head up from the concrete, facing his face with the most comical scowl ever. You wince at the pain it brings you to bring your head up and face him. And you return to whimpering on the ground. Your forearms grind against the tough land, fingers reaching up to graze over the bleeding maroon-coloured wound on your forehead.
Gojo stands there, bringing his sunglasses down towards the bridge of his nose and lowers it to see a better view of your pouty figure sprawled on the empty road of a neighbourhood. You both initially came here to defeat a special graded curse.
And you so happened to get flung mid-air while Gojo held you up when he levitated.
â Thereâs no way youâre crying over this, â He snickers, his pearly whites flashing the most ANNOYING grin ever. And you attempt to point at him and scream at his face, but doing so would have brought out a grimace and a wince. You look down at the shadow you make with your head, and you actually bite down onto your bottom lip and shut your eyes, careful not to make a squeak or the smallest cry. Otherwise, another stupid laugh from him comes out.
What felt like an hour was just minutes, and you manage to actually get up and rub dirt on your grazed knees and ignore the sharp pain on your forehead. You limp behind Gojo, drinking a can of pop from the vending machine he bought when you were secretly crying beneath your arms.
â Youâre weak. Itâs boring. â
â Shut UP! â Another cuss comes out of your mouth, and you grit your teeth. You canât count how many times youâve said this to him. And youâre convinced itâs part of your daily vocabulary list now. Youâre even sure youâve said it once in your sleep.
â Itâs just the truth. You cry over a graze. You give into the kouhai-crybaby stereotypes. That gives me a bad image, considering the fact I basically babysit you on missions. â
He sips on the lip of the can, and his head cocks upward to stare at the sun before he jerks it to the side to crack a few joints. For once, you donât interrupt and scream a
â SHUT UP, GOJO! â You actually listen, and that makes you frown.
â Hm? Youâre arrogant for a senpai. You give into the senpai-dick stereotype. That gives the school a bad image, you know. Considerinâ â
â Nah, Iâm the strongest. â
He purses his lips unamusedly, and you frown at the back of his head. Youâre hoping for a sledge hammer to magically appear on the ground now. Just oooonnneee smack on the back of his head and BAM!
â And youâre the weakest. â
â Alright, whatâs with the ugly face? â
Shoko Iieri asks, she asks as if she doesnât want to ask, and she takes some pressure off your knees with her fingers as if sheâs preparing for something.
â Satoru, FREAKING, Gojo! â
You basically roar and your hand balls up into a fist, hard enough to dig your fingernails into your palm and make it bleed. You smack it hard against your forehead before you let out a shriek, forgetting the wound on there.
â Heâ He called me weak! No, worse. THE WEAKEST! Can you believe that, Shoko? And, and, and he said I gave into the kouhai-crybaby stereotype, what does THAT even mean? â
Shoko stares at you blankly, lips pursed and eyebrows barely even raised. Whatâs this look? Is she agreeing with him? And why are your eyes watering?
â Did.. Hey, you said ugly face. Are you calling me ugly? You did, right? â
You murmured underneath your breath, recalling her words. You turn to the side and purse your lips, bottom lip jutting out before you yelp at the agonising pain from Shokoâs sudden fingers on your bruised knee.
â You have to stop putting so much negativity in that kid, sheâs crying constantly during physiotherapy. Itâs getting old and itâs starting to bother me that I have to buy packs of tissue before she comes in. â
Shoko mumbles, sticking a cigarette in between her puckered lips, fingers struggling to get her lighter out of her tight, barely-there pocket. The azure-coloured lighter flickers and clicks twice before it eventually lights up the butt.
Satoruâs head dangles over the head of the chair, making the legs swing back and forth, cuddling the back with fingers caressing the wood.
â Thatâs boring. Negativityâs needed. Itâs whatâs good for kids these days, some sorcerers just need to know when they need to quit, like her. â
He retorts and his pale cheek squishes against the head, face bare with his glasses off. His soft white hair trickles over his own skin. His head turns to the side, gaze raking over Suguru sitting the same way he is, and his finger reaches out to prod his cheek out of boredom.
â You act as if sheâd leave. She has more motivation than anybody else to prove sheâs more than what you say she is. â
Suguru bats away Satoruâs irritating butt-smelling finger as he argues. He stares at it with the curl of his lips and a nose scrunch.
â Man, do you wash your hanâ â
Satoru cocks his head backwards.
â HA! Sheâs not more than a stinking, crybaby, weak, weird, short, overly-motivated kouhai. â
He almost laughs at Suguruâs words and he smacks the back of the chair. Smoke flows within the empty classroom, and gets sucked out through the windows. Smells like tobacco.
â If I were her, Iâd leave because youâre a dick. â
Shoko puffs smoke out her nose and shakes her head with an amused smirk. Satoru, despite being the aim of the joke, he snickers to himself. Suguru does too.
It wasnât a lie that you werenât a crybaby. You, kind of were. It wasnât the type of crybaby where youâd cry over a cockroach entering the room. But youâd sob over words that nobody really meant. Which is what gained you the title â Kouhai Crybaby â among the third years.
Which is why you hated Gojo so much.
Apparently, the school was holding a sister school event with the Kyoto Jujutsu School. A football game. You recall playing that once or twice during school. It should be fun.
You dunk your face in the sink of the poop-smelling toilet, curled fingers on the side, gripping the edges before they come up to rub on your cheeks. You look up towards your reflection, and you grab a sheet of tissue besides you before patting your face dry.
You wonder who your teammates will be. This yearâs students arenât good at all in terms of football. But you guess theyâll do justâ
Fine. Woah. FINE. FINE AS HELL!
You shriek at the person towering over you, and itâs no other than Suguru Geto. Chiseled jawline and beautiful slanted eyes with the best tan skin. Black long locks of hair, his scent coming up to greet your nostrils beautifully. Beautiful.
You regain your composure and tuck your locks of hair behind your ears with a flushed face before you hear the scoff beside you. Ugh, and itâs no other than Satoru Gojo, the ugliest albino freakish-looking monkey youâve ever seen.
Immediately, your doe, batting eyes become squinted and menacing. He walks towards Geto casually and slings an arm over his shoulder.
â What are YOU doing here? â
Your nose scrunches at the sight. And you want to get on your tippy toes to yell and make menacing glares back and forth but thatâs too embarrassing, considering youâre in front of beautiful Geto.
â I should be asking YOU that, cwybwaby. â
â Oh har har, that nickname again, so funny, Gojo. â
â No oneâs laughing. â
â You know, itâs time you start adding â Senpai â after my name and give me more respect. Act like the kouhai youâre suppoâ â
Suguru shuts him up with a push of the palm against his lips and he smiles down at you.
â Sorry. About him. He canât help himself. â
He snickers to himself at that, and Gojo yanks Getoâs hand away from his lips.
â Yeah, Iâm used to it. Whatâsâ Whatâs uh, whatâs up. You seem like you have something to say. â
You grin sheepishly, fingers fiddling with each other and you want to ignore Satoruâs azure-coloured eyes piercing through you. Somehow, it seems even more suffocating and embarrassing to speak in front of Gojo.
â Yeah. Yeah, I do. â
A blush sprawls over your cheeks and you ALSO ignore how Satoruâs eyes squint harder at the exact moment. You almost squeal at the way Geto leans towards you and smiles like that.
â So, uh, actually. Both me and Gojo considâ â
â Yeah, yap, yappa, yappa, yappa. â
Gojo yanks the back of his t-shirt and steps in front, icy gaze raking over you, towering over your figure completely.
â He just wanted to say that Iâm too overpowered and skilled to be babysitting a clumsy, lame excuse of a Jujutsu sorcerer, and wants him, instead, to take my place. â
Your lips pop open and part, before you shut your eyes slowly and pump your fist. He notices it and slaps the top of your head.
â Oi, what are you getting excited for, crybaby? â
