Dating suguru meant tolerating Satoru as his very whiny, half boyfriend.

Who, he had been unable to keep away after a few dates

"Suguru come on!!! I need to make sure she is good enough for us."

"Us? And no. You just want her to knows that she can't come between us, even though there is no us romantically. That's how you scared away the rest."

Who had actually told you exactly what Suguru said he would but instead of being weirded out, to his utter amazement, had just laughed and said "Don't worry, I'll just be the less pretty, side chic then, deal?"

Who had your name saved in his phone as Boyfriend Stealer. Yet dumped any of his flings/girls if they used it against you, even if it was kind of his fault for the misunderstanding.

Who would randomly put up infinity around Suguru right before you were about to jump him, because he is petty like that.

"Yes toru, I got you your favourite sweets. So if you could, please lemme hug our shared boyfriend after staying away from him for two, entire days. The two days that you spent with him on a mission. All alone."

"Oh! Why would you not begin with that, silly? Gimmme it."

Who would constantly rile you up only to expand his eyes dramatically and say, "Suguru!!!! Look at her!!! She is being to me!!! Will you really let her talk to your pretty partner like that!" All the while clinging onto his arm like a little damsel in distress.

"Satoru if you didn't want her to be mean to you then maybe you shouldn't have been pulling her hair like a kindergartener."

"You've changed Sugu, she has finally created a wedge between us!!!! I knew this would happen!!!! Why god why?! Why didn't you just make me ugly, if you really wanted to punish me? Why make me go through this?!"

Who would wiggle himself between the two of you during a walk, forcing you to stop leaning on his shoulder. Instead, you would wrap an arm around satoru's waist to reach over to your boyfriend's arm.

Who would whine for days after Suguru proposed to you, till you both got him a promise ring, to make sure he knew that he wouldn't be left alone, not to mention days of massive pampering because we were a few days late and it caused him emotional stress.

However, dating suguru also meant tolerating having satoru as your very sweet, half boyfriend.

Who kisses you on your forehead just as sweetly as Suguru does, on you you lips, before leaving for their mission.

"Well if you are Suguru's lucky charm, there's no way you aren't mine too." Was his logic.

Who puts up infinity around you when a guy starts becoming too chummy, while the two of you wait in a line for your orders and Suguru takes care of the table.

Who stood up to the elders when they bullied you for distracting the strongest because you simply existed.

Who would step in to take over any social situation because you needed a breather and Suguru to feel less overwhelmed but were too polite to leave.

Who would take turns with Suguru too nurse you back to health because both of them had missions and Suguru didn't want you alone.

Who had suddenly started relying on you to take care of him just as he had on Suguru, for so many years.

"Y/n..."

"Y/nnnnnnnnn......"

"Yes I do have your extra hair ties ru and no your shades aren't lost toru, you left them with megumi. You can use the extra pair I keep here for you."

So, although it was Suguru that you were in a relationship with, you realized that Satoru was a package deal. Not that you minded, afterall looking at them bickering like an old couple, it was obvious that there would be no Suguru to love without Satoru and no Satoru without Suguru.

Want my boyfriend to fuck me like a slut but the problem thing is, he would fuck, even, sluts like a gentlemen.

I love Kento's character. Though it's not the kind of love that craves his presence rather the kind that wants to make him experience the same comfort he brings into the life of others.

By bringing him those similar, weekly bouquets that he would get for his partner.

By being there infront of his work, leaning against the passenger door, to wait for him to get off work. Then opening the gate of the gate whith a tiny curtsy and a cheeky " Sir.." which always made him roll his eyes and sigh with an adorable frown.

"Love I told you it's my job to wait after work for you and open gates. It's so cold and I know you have been waiting here long, look at your ruddolf nose. Tch."

For you to just laugh and rub his freezing hands while moving closer. "Oh pretty boy, need I remind you again that you aren't my bodyguard but partner. Partners are supposed to be equal, so let me wait here like a little ruddolf because I know how good it makes me feel when you do it for me and I want you to feel the same. Now get in, we are going to that bakery, we spoke about."

"I am paying love. No arguments."

"Of course princess. I don't mind." And you really don't because you know kento takes pride in being able to provide for you. Which means he might relent to being pampered by these small gestures but when it comes to paying and such, it would only make his pride hurt. Which isn't something you are ready to do.

By diverting gojo's harmless rants and actions towards me because they don't bother me as much as they do Nanami. After all, he would be ready to do the same in any other situation.

Draping your scarf around his neck on a cold evening because, although he bundled you up like burrito, he forgot to do the same for himself. Silly goose.

Getting up extra early to prepare a royal spread of breakfast-in-bed with all his favorites. Just so see those pretty eyes fill up with joy, the first thing in the morning, while he tries to tell you how you shouldn't have and didn't need for you to go that extra for him. But you do because he deserves this and more.

Waiting eagerly for him, to return from his work, with a hot bath and scented candles ready for him to enjoy.

"But love don't you want to get in with me and relax? I am sure you had a tiring day too."

"Psh, no. I already took mine so I could focus on massaging your neck and shoulders instead of getting seduced by you. Now lean back so I can shampoo your hair."

By complimenting him so hard and so lewdly in public just to watch him turn into the prettiest shade of red. You know he is going to punish love you for that.

"Dayum you got an ass!!!!" Smack.

"love..."

~

"Yes pretty boy... just like that... so good for me. Always sooooo sweet."

"Mmhmm"

"Thats right you love being praised, don't you?"

~

"My handsome man. You look so good Ken! Good enough to be a goddamn meal."

"There are people here."

"You are right!! We should leave. Immediately!!!"

"But Yaga?"

"I'll tell him I am hungry."

And he just turns even redder as you scurry off giggling.

By randomly pulling his novel out of his hands and him out of the couch, where he was nestled. He has been into it long enough anyway. After all, how else are you gonna have him dance with you to his favourite song?

And dance you do, around the entire living room while he leads you like a pro. Twirling you away and then back into him, while you throw your head back to laugh, and spinning underneath his arm.

That's not enough though, because of course, he needs the experience too! So you stand on the sofa and spin him around.

So he can laugh his carefree laugh that you love so much and feel the love that he makes you feel.

From the story I might never write

"Toru!!!!" imagine his wife, you, calling for him all strict and he comes running scared for his life, because he may be the strongest but only when matters related to outside his personal life.

"Wifey!!! Best hubby reporting on duty.." He hugged you from behind and rested his head on top of your head.

However you shook him off lightly to turn around in his arms with your own arms crossed and a look that instantly made him aware that he is caught doing something naughty "What did you do?" You would ask tapping your foot, eyes narrowed.

"Nothing?" He replied with the biggest blue eyes ever, that made him look like an angel. If you didn't know any better you would even believe it, but you did know better. In fact you knew so much better, because this look means he did do something.

"Satoru.." just his full name with a raised eyebrow had him whining in your shoulder and mumbling whatever prank he pulled on nanami today.

"Baby... in a language I can understand." You had stiffle your laugh seeing your man behave like a baby.

"I changed his presentation sheets with porn magazine pages." He still hadn't moved his head from your shoulder but spoke a bit louder so you could understand.

"Toru..." you sigh. "Love what have we talked about." You pulled his head away from your shoulder held it between your palms. His cheeks a bit puffy as his lips were pulled into an adorable pout and his blue eyes on the ground.

"Pranks are only funny if they do not hurt or damage someone." He repeated with you.

"And was it acceptable to do that right before nanami's big meeting?" you softly questioned and he shook his head.

"So will you apologise to nanami?"

"Yes ma'am. Sorry nanami." He said looking behind you where nanami stood and quickly snuggled back into your shoulder like a schooled kid.

"I..it's.. OK..." is all nanami could stutter as he watched a 5'3", petite woman handle a man child, atleast a foot taller than her, like it was nothing.

"Good boy toru here have this, I was saving it for you...." he gave you just enough space to turn to side where you had put a plate with a variety of sweets for him to sample.

Just looking at all the sugar his frown turned upside down because we all know this human form of adhd cannot be sad when sweets are concerned.

Within seconds he was back to being a menace and you could help but look fondly at his face which glowed. The way his cerulean eyes glimmer a little more and his face flushed a little redder. No matter what he did you couldn't help but fall for this man a little more everyday.

While he was busy stuffing his face and boasting how his wife literally knew him the best, you turned back around to look at nanami and slightly bowed to show how sorry you actually were for his earlier behavior.

Kento merely waved it off because even now he couldn't believe what he saw. All he could think about was....

Love myself a man like suguru.

Who is so complicated that the world thinks he is the simplest. Nothing but respectful, with impeccable manners.

But you know the true depth of his complications, burried so deep within the layers.

But that's not what makes you so smitten, it's actually the fact that even with all of that, he tries.

He tries with you, to be the real him. Tries to make you show what all he really is.

It started with tiny things,

The most favorite snacks.

His least favourite flavor.

Having no filter, with you, when he dissed people's fashion. But that's OK because you would laugh just a hard.

Being a mean 5 year girl in a 6'3" tall, man's body.

Later it grew into deeper things like the taste and feeling of digesting a curse, the negativity.

For he realised you cared, enough to always be stocked with his favorites, or the right amount of attention. You didn't judge his thoughts, instead added your intrusive ones too, making his feel less psychotic and doable in comparison.

"I wanna start a cult so I can train people like monkeys in a circus."

"But baby that would take up all of your time! You know how hard that is. Why not scam the jjk elders by killing minimal curses and attaching a hefty bill."

Doesn't even realise how he let you in, layer by layer, so close to his deep rooted seed of insecurities and vulnerabilities.

Doesn't realise when you gently uprooted it and made him a free man. Someone with a healthier mind and a lighter soul.

A man who is sweet and fake to the others but bitter and real with you.

From the story I might never write

I was currently sitting on the kitchen slab after convincing Nanami to let me help him cook.

Now I know I am hopeless when it comes to this area but I managed to convince him. I know, I am so smart.

Although the reason I wanted to be here was so I could ogle at him. He looks so delicious wearing those sweatpants and thin cotton shirt which show his Greek god body underneath and don't even let me get started on his cute aprin. Yummmy.

"Y/n! Yn ! Hey Nanami have you- what the hell are you doing here?What the hell is she doing here? Are you planning to have your house burnt?" Shoko please shut. Please. I suddenly wish I had telepathy so could tell her to shut up.

Nanami only turned to face her after switching off the stove and raised his one brow. Me jealous. I mentally pouted. I wanna learn that too.

"What do you mean?" He crossed his hands and all I could do was drool over his biceps. I pretty sure I it was coming out of my mouth.

"She didn't tell you? She is horrible at cooking. Inviting her in the kitchen is like purposely trying to have you house burnt." Sho said like it was a universal fact.

"That is so not true. I have helped you in kitchen." I said quickly coming out of my drooling state to defend my honor.

"I asked you to boil the water because I had to use the washroom and you! madam almost set the kitchen on fire!!!!" She said with her eyebrows so high that they almost disappeared off her face.

"I so did not!!" I said with narrowed eye and at the same time telling her to shut up.

"How so?" He asked clearly finding this amusing because I may or may not have told him I was an awesome cook. I knew it was gonna bite me in the ass.

"She put the pan on the stove without actually lighting it. I mean she turned the nob on and didn't light it. So we basically had a gas leak" she exasperated.

"That was like ten seconds." I said throwing my hands up. Although I knew I had originally forgotten about lighting it. She doesn't have to know that.

"Liar. The only reason we were saved was because Suguru thought about following you to the kitchen as a precaution. He switched it off when he realised that she wasn't because she got back to stalking. " shoko looked at me pointedly. I only huffed and crossed my arms with a pout.

"Sugury said he was getting himself a glass of water. He didn't follow me." I mumbled. Beside me me Nanami chuckled and it made me smile internally.

"Of course he said that. Although even you know that's not true." She laughed like it's the funniest thing.

"Once I helped Satoru too." I said whining.

"All you did was pass him a packet of chips from the pantry. Although considering you didn't make a mess counts for something." she had the audacity to smirk. Bitch. She will so regret it when I eat all of gummy worms then we'll see who smirks. For now I settled with sticking my tongue out at her.

"Anyway I was looking for you because I was gonna go out for some work. I'll be back in an hour." With that she walked away without waiting for my reply. I shrugged.

"Soo. You lied to me." He said with one brow raised.

"That depends on how you define lying" I said smiling

"I define it as not telling the truth. How do you define it?" He grinned.

"reclining you body in a horizontal position?" I screamed with a huge grin. OH MY GOD He watched teen wolf. He just quoted it. I was stiles?!!!?? I am fangirling so hard.

"You watch teen wolf." I laughed.

"Of course I did. You asked me to." He said as if I just offended him. Although his eyes twinkle as if he found treasure.

The brown in them a lighter shade. We were standing so close. I didn't realise when he had moved to stand between my legs. It was then I realised that why his eyes were so striking. Why they stood out in a room of fifty people. He had a black ring around his iris. As if holding all the colour in, preventing it from spilling out.

"I didn't think you would, with all the missions and stuff." I was still looking into his eyes as I mumbled.

"I always for time for you, love." He traced my cheek bone. He leaned in further and before I could process, his lips were on mine.

From the story I might never write

How dare she. She has been ignoring me and eyeing my husband, Suguru, for the past forty three minutes and twenty two seconds. Yes. I counted. What else was I supposed to do while being ignored.

Suguru and I had decided to finally move out of our current apartment, with the girls, and shift to a bigger place. It was way to cramped for four people and now with both of earning, in jujutsu world, we had gathered more than enough to finish the down payment instantly.

So we contacted a realtor to show us some places according to our requirements. Mind you, the requirements DID NOT include a middle aged lady, with way too many operations on her face and boobs, who flirts with a taken man. Like bruh, I get my man looks like a god but back. The. Fuck. Off!

So here we were, him getting hit on by a plastic lady, with her nose a little too way off and her one boob smaller than the other.

All I want to do is come out and burn the bitch to crisps with my curse energy but no, apparently being jealous wasn't a good enough reason for murder nowadays, pfft, as if. What if my man needs me to save his honour, huh?

Suguru has been holding my hand and trying to include me in the conversation but that bitch had purposely and extremely unsubtly been leaving me out.

If I wasn't fuming right now, his situation would have made me laugh real hard. He seems so uncomfortable and aborable trying to maintain a safe distance from her. I'll protect you my pretty boy, don't you worry.

Now, only if my eyes could shoot lasers, it would have made things really easy. Like, oops my B. However, they still don't. Trust. I tried squinting. This was the cool power I was supposed to get with my curse shit but no! Nothing cool here.

Forget cool powers. Let me at the bitch bare hands and I'll have her in shreds before you can even finish saying laser. Yeah... my inner bitch was NOT happy.

On a second thought though, why waste power when words can harm more. I smirked internally, when I had an idea.

We were currently in the common area near the dining table. Suguru had his one hand on the table while his other hand circled my waist, the plastic lady in front of us. It wasn't a second after my idea, that I saw her hand go right on top of his free hand and squeeze, he pulled his hand back quickly.

Oh no, you don't! That's it!

"Alright, I have a real quick question." I say while moving between them and leaning on the table.

Ru looks relieved, probably to have a barrier in between and the bitch looks annoyed. Like I care.

I put on my most innocent smile and look at him. "Could you please clear a doubt for me, husband?" I emphasised the last word just put of spite.

"Of course love. What is it?" He quirks a brow and moves his hand to tug gently at the ends of my hair, twirling it around his finger.

"I just wanted to clear out if you have an interest, any interest at all, in Miss. -" I turned towards her making sure my hair hit her in the face, "- wait what was your name?"

Before she could answer I turned back, hitting her again with the hair, and pointed towards her, waiving my palm carelessly, and continued, "Anyway. Her "

"No, I don't love. Why would you ask?" He knew exactly why I would ask. The twinkle in his violet eyes and his horrible attempt at hiding his smile said enough. He played along anyway because let's be real, Suguru Geto loved being petty, even more so than me.

"I just wanted to clear out the fact, so she doesn't waste her time as well as ours, with her futile attempts of trying to woo you. Not to mention, I would hate for her to lose such an important deal, now wouldn't I?" I gave her a pointed look and turned back around. Yes, another hair attack!

I purposely put my left hand, which had the engagement ring on it , over his wrist which now shifted to my cheek.

"Of course, we would, love." he bit his inner cheek to keep himself from laughing, yet his shoulders shook with merth. His beautiful lips pulled in a smirk.

After giving a quick kiss to my forehead and the knuckles of my left hand, he pulled me around so that my back was to his front and we faced the bitch. He put his chin on shoulder, his smirk still evident.

The bitch had gone red. Serves her right.

"You sly, little vixen." Suguru whispered in my ear and tugged the lobe gently with his teeth. I just shrugged still maintaining my innocent smile.

No. No No no not this again! not right now!!!! This CANNOT be happening to me when I have the most beautiful of all humans waiting for me outside.

"Kitten?! All good? I heard things fall... multiple things..." Suguru knocked at the washroom door.

"Just peachy... don't worry, I'll be out soon." I glanced nervously at the door before tugging at my hair brush. Again. Nope! Still stuck.

"Alright, but lemme know if you need anything." He said, before I heard him walk away.

"Definitely!!..... gimme functioning motor skills if you can, that's the only way I'll be saved." I muttered looking at my reflection with an eyeroll.

I obviously couldn't tell the suguru geto, the man with the most perfect hair, that I couldn't perform a simple task of brushing my hair without having it tangled up in my brush.

So, with a shrug, I decided I wouldn't. I am an adult, adult enought get a hair brush out of my hair. Totally ignoring the fact that it was me who let get stuck in the first place.

I took a deep breath and tried again. Trying to reach the brush by flipping my hair to the front, with no luck. It awkwardly remained half and half on my shoulder in such a way that it was impossible to reach it properly.

"Kitten, what's happening? You have been gone ages. I am worried. Let me in, please. I need to see if you alright for myself. "

"Ru, no. I.. I.. magic!!! "

"Magic? Are you trying to tell me that you are practicing sorcery in there?" I could hear him chuckle even from inside.

Wtf? Magic? Seriously girl!!!?

"Yes. That's exactly what I am doing." I stick to my lies, ok!!! no matter how stupid.

"Then I believe as your boyfriend I have the right to see this... extracurricular of your, don't I? Open up kitten. Now." By his tone I knew he was done playing around.

"Boo... you are no fun" I grumbled as I flicked the lock of the door and moved back infront the mirror to continue my failed attempts. Totally not because of embarrassment.

"Well, now that the jig's up, I don't have magic tricks, well other than my beautiful smile and my talent to tangle my hair up. To ridiculous levels." When I didn't get any reply I looked up to see him leaning against the wall, lower half of his face covered by his long fingers.

"You can laugh, it's chill." He just hummed but I could see his eyes watering with the effort to control his amusement.

"Seriously, let it out. I don't want you to die of suffocation because I will not be attending your funeral with hair-brush hair." I couldn't help but roll my eyes as he burst out. Like stomach holding, Bending over and knee slapping laugh. It made me giggle too.

I tried to hit him with my toothpaste tube, as I whined about how rude he was being, but he just continued wiping his eyes and gasping at my expense.

"So glad my misery is entertaining for you. Now if you could please be useful and help."

"Right, of course. Come on out and sit on the bed. I just gotta pee because of all that laughing." That earned him an elbow in the belly.

"And that girls how your generous and smart Dada helped out your clumsy mama." Suguru told our girls as he finished braiding their hair. His lips in his signature bad boy smirk that made me fall for him.

"That's not how it happened and you know it!!! I actually was doing magic and it was just a part of the performance." I huffed.

"Its OK mama, we know you are clumsy but we still love you." Nanako giggled.

"Oh! you little monsters, you better scram before I show you clumsy." And they rushed out throwing a good night as they rushed, still in fits of giggles.

"Part of the performance, huh?" Ru was leaning back on the bed, his legs in a manspread and looked at me with those lazy bed room eyes.

"Yep!! How else would have I gotten you to take care of my hair without playing damsel In distress? How else would I have convinced you to have dinner with me every night so you could also brush my hair?" I grinned cheekily, taking my place on the floor so he could brush and tie my hair too.

Just like he had been for the past 4 years without fail.

It was true though, apparently my lack of coordination made his protective side dominant. He was especially fond of my hair and refused to see them take the brunt of my quirky personality.

Hence, it was quickly decided that hair care was his department since. I obviously had no issues. We had easily fallen into the nightly routine of hair massages, oiling and brushing. Me, ofcourse only sat and looked pretty while he did the work.

Easing of knots in my hair with so much care, learning different hairstyles so he could do it for me and not importantly sharing his hair secrets, that he protected with his life. It even applied washing my hair because according to him WE DONT KNOW WHEN MY TALENT COMES FORTH, SO CANT RISK IT.

Of course, I had gotten better over the years, I like to tell myself that, but he refused to let go. Loving the routine we exchanged, even I didn't fight to hard. Why would I, when it was our love language.

Eventually the girls were born and obviously they were included in this.

I couldn't help but thank myself for my.... magic that he so willingly accepted and fit into. Maybe, it wasn't my magic rather his, to mold and fit into any crevice of my life like molten gold in cracks, to turn it from broken to beautiful.
