Gojo finds out you cheated on him, but he still loves you..
The evidence was clear. Gojo sat on a couch in the living area of your shared apartment, despite it being past midnight. There was no way in hell Gojo would be able to fall asleep right now.
About five minutes ago, Gojo had received a text message from an anonymous number. Inside was an attachment.
Upon opening the attachment, your boyfriend was graciously greeted with a photo of you outside of a club.
You were wearing your favorite black sequin mini skirt with the boots Gojo had bought you for a concert the two of you had enjoyed together.
Your hands were tangled up in another man’s hair as you kissed him. You were shamelessly kissing a man on the sidewalk for everyone to see.
Gojo’s face twisted with anger as he saw the way the man was feeling you up. One of his hands cupped your face while the other rested comfortably on your ass. What a fucking asshole. He had absolutely no shame kissing another man’s girlfriend.
Gojo wasn’t used to this feeling. With the amount of responsibility he took on in his work life, your boyfriend was always confident he knew what to do. His ego was often off the charts. Could you blame him? Everyone treated him like a god. Maybe that was a part of the reason why this had hurt him so bad. For the first time in a long time, Gojo didn’t know what to do.
The two of you had been high school sweethearts. Gojo loved and cherished you more than anything in this world. In fact, he loved you so much that he had a diamond ring in the bottom drawer of his dresser, waiting for the right moment to ask you to marry him. The only reason he hadn’t done it yet was because he wanted it to be perfect for you.
And what did he get in return? The thoughtful gift of your infidelity.
No matter how bad Gojo didn’t want this to be real, he couldn’t kid himself. There was no denying the photo was real. Satoru’s head began to swarm with questions.
Why? Is it me? Does she not love me?
He considered not even bringing it up for a second. Gojo knew cheating wasn’t okay. But leaving you for it? He didn’t know if he had that in him. Nothing could make Satoru Gojo stop loving you. When he loved, he loved hard.
So hard that he still cherished his high school best friend Geto despite him killing hundreds of people.
Gojo never understood how people could just fall out of love. That wasn’t a thing he did.
Your boyfriend snapped out of his thoughts after hearing the front door creak open. He stood up as you walked inside with a smile on your face. You bid one of your friends goodbye at the door and thanked her for driving you home.
A faint smell of alcohol lingered on you. Gojo could smell it clearly.
You locked the door behind you, setting down your purse and stepping inside.
Your gaze drifted up to Gojo and his conflicted face. Obviously, you had no idea what he knew. You figured he was just scolding you for being home so late again.
A scolding from your boyfriend didn’t seem too enticing at the moment. Due to this, you decided to ignore Gojo and started making your way towards the staircase.
Gojo stepped in front of you suddenly, a heartbroken look in your eyes.
You raised an eyebrow. “Why are you pouting like that?” You asked him. Your voice was raspy from the fun night at the club. Hours of screaming and singing your heart out.
“Explain this.”
Gojo stuck his phone near your face, showing you the picture that he had been sent. The undeniable truth.
You didn’t say anything to him. You simply looked at his face. Gojo looked like he was clinging onto any and every hope of this being fake.
“It’s real,” you admitted.
You had kissed another man. Maybe you even hoped for a little more. Why? Well, because Gojo had been neglecting you lately.
He hadn’t meant to, of course. But that didn’t change anything. Gojo had been busy with work. As a result of his work stress, he’d become very emotionally isolated. Your husband didn’t open up to you or have sex with you. You felt like you were just.. there.
After being raised to be a weapon his whole life, it wasn’t a surprise Gojo kept to himself about his troubles or feelings. That was just who he was, never wanting to make others responsible for his burdens.
You hadn’t gone out with the intent to cheat. The goal had been to just vent to your friends over a few drinks. Turns out you get kinda vulnerable a few drinks in. The idea of a man who’d actually value being passionate with you sounded amazing in the moment. You’d gotten carried away without realizing it.
Thankfully, you’d returned to your senses before anything beyond kissing happened. Regardless of any reasoning, cheating felt inexcusable.
You never thought Gojo would find out. You’d imagined it just being a silly mistake that you could move on from.
Gojo’s heart sunk. He was angry. And shocked. And heartbroken. And afraid.
Suddenly, guilt felt as if it was eating you alive. When you’d kissed the man, you figured maybe it was like payback for his neglect. Looking back, however, made you realize that you had just been a shitty girlfriend. There wasn’t any defending yourself. You had fucked up.
“And you just.. that’s it? There’s no.. excuse? No apology?” Gojo stuttered, in utter loss.
He lowered the phone from your face, his arms falling to his sides in defeat.
You shrugged in reply, knowing that it was over. Maybe it was for the best and you’d find a guy who was actually emotionally available after breaking up with Gojo.
You stared down at the floor, unable to meet the devastated look on your boyfriend’s face.
Then, Gojo did the most unexpected thing. He got down on his knees in front of you, taking your hands in his.
Your eyes widened as you looked down at the usually so cocky and confident 6’3 man you’d been dating.
Gojo’s gaze was soft, his eyes slightly watery.
“Please..” he began. “Please don’t leave me. I’m sorry. What can I do? Just please.. don’t go,” your boyfriend pleaded to you.
“You can.. fuck, you can sleep with as many guys as you want. Just come home to me. I’m fucking begging you..”
Gojo squeezed your hand gently.
“I can’t handle it. You can’t leave. Not like-” Gojo cut himself off, swallowing.
He had never quite recovered from the loss of his best friend.
It was pathetic how he was absolutely begging you right now. But you weren’t heartless.
You kneeled down beside Gojo, seeing that he was fighting off tears. Gojo moved your hand to cut his face, muttering “please” under his breath once more.
“What do you need from me? What did I do wrong? Was it work? I’m sorry I’ve been busy.”
Gojo was wracking his mind for anything he could have possibly done wrong for you to betray him this way.
The emotional neglect had been awful lately. You reminisced on the better times with your boyfriend, the times he was good to you. It only made you feel worse. Gojo was a good man who treated you right majority of the time.
Seeing Gojo so destroyed this way was too much. It was impossible to stay angry at his emotional neglect towards you. You knew that he wouldn’t ever try and hurt you on purpose.
“I’ll stay,” you whispered in reply. “I- I’m sorry. I.. I shouldn’t have. I messed up. There’s no excuse for that but.. I won’t go, if that’s what you want.” It was hard for you to apologize without sounding like you were making excuses.
Gojo looked up at you, his tears finally falling. You had no idea how much your apology meant to him. It meant you still cared for him and his heart that was too big for his own good.
He pulled you into a big hug, clinging onto you like you’d disappear if he let go.
“Thank you..” he cried into your shirt.
At the end of the day, Satoru Gojo was just a lonely boy who wanted to be loved for more than his strength.
Who would even cheat on Gojo?
Also this idea may or may not have come from YuYus HCS 🥹🫰
