Gojo tries to grapple with his need for your attention
needy!satoru not wanting to jeopardize his friendship with you, but also unable to stop himself from wanting your attention. Taking every chance he gets to sit as unnecessarily close to you as possible. On the couch while watching movies with the students or in the back of the car as Ijichi drives. Relishing the way your thigh presses against his, resenting the fabric that separates your skin from his.
needy!satoru finding any excuse he can to initiate physical contact. Gently brushing the small of your back to direct you to a seat, placing his hand on the back of yours when you show him something on your phone, as if to adjust the angle of the screen, pretending to stretch and draping his arm on the back of the couch when you sit next to him.
needy!satoru spending his day off on the phone with you. Showing you around the small hot spring town he was taking a day trip to. Refusing to cut the call when you tell him to enjoy his time exploring the town, insisting that he was enjoying it. Bringing you tons of souvenirs from his trip so he has another excuse to spend more time with you.
needy!satoru going straight to your office after a long mission, finding you hunched over paperwork. Wordlessly dragging you to your office daybed, wrapping his arms around you tightly and burying his face into the crook of your neck. Finally breathing slowly and deeply after a frustrating day, silently purring with desire as you run your fingers through his hair.
needy!satoru feeling his heart hammer in his chest when he sees you all dressed up, only to experience a tidal wave of sickening jealousy when he learns you were going out to dinner with another man. Brooding and sulking with such openness that even the generally unconcerned trio of first years start giving each other a sly side eye.
needy!satoru frantically making reservations for multiple dinners at various restaurants in Tokyo and dragging you along with him under the pretext of wanting to ‘review’ the different establishments. Nonchalantly trying to ask you about your dinner with the other man, but feeling incredibly anxious at the possibility of you saying you had a good time.
needy!satoru feeling immense relief flood his body when he learns the man was a potential business associate and not a romantic interest. Being unable to hide the sudden and extreme lift in his mood, spending the rest of the night excitedly over-ordering and looking at you with blindfolded, yet adoring, eyes.
needy!satoru finally making a move after months of silent pining, nearly crying with relief when you reluctantly agree to go on a date with him. Panickedly trying to convince you that, no, this wasn’t an elaborate joke, and yes, he does in fact have feelings for you.
needy!satoru buying a box of kikufuku, ending up pouting and pleading until you agree to let him eat the sweet out of your hand. Making intense eye contact with you as he sucks the remnants of kikufuku off your fingers when the box runs out. Looking far more satisfied and pleased than he did when he was eating the sweet itself.
needy!satoru pulling you into his lap and rubbing your back at the end of a long day, lavishing you with attention behind closed office doors, not caring that someone could walk in at any moment. Whispering sweet nothings and words of praise and adoration as you melt into his touch. Promising to take really good care of you when you go home for the night.
a/n: Perfectly normal behaviour, he couldn't possibly get any worse... right?
Personally my fav HC is the one where he crashes out after seeing you go on a 'date' and tries to monopolize your time so you can't schedule further dinners with anyone else. LMAO, I feel like Gojo would 100% actually do that. Satoru is a jealous man, don't let his silly personality fool you. Which was your favourite?
The hotsprings HC is inspired by phantom parade!
:p Would you like more of needy Satoru?
