The sliding door barely snaps close before Akaza's knee hits the tatami. For all his haste, he dreads what he might find. A husk, bled of all light and fire– unrecognisable, or perhaps even worse, familiar– this pain between his ribs, suspended in amber, a fractal of three– The lump of blankets wracks itself with another coughing fit, and unthinking of his fear, Akaza reaches out. (To what? Help? Soothe? Save? He is a demon. Such concepts are anathema. And yet, it's Kyojuro. Akaza was reaching out to him before he knew his name.) * Or: Akaza seeks out Kyojuro only to find him sick. It is the first time he's seen him like this (yet, it's so familiar.)

"I know you have more important things than pestering your students and tending to burnt-out husks," Nanami says dryly. "You mentioned you were playing politics with Japan's ministers. How did that go?" "Excruciatingly. How else?" Gojo frowns. "And it's not more important than you." Nanami hums. "No national incidents?" "I bravely restrained myself." Gojo frowns harder. "Nanami. It's not more important than you." * Or: For everyone else, Shinjuku was over half a year ago. For Nanami, Shibuya was one month ago. While Nanami struggles with being on indefinite bedrest, Gojo visits. They talk.

Gojo clasps his hands together and holds them up in front of his face, as if he were pleading– or perhaps valiantly restraining himself from touching. Somehow, despite being six foot four and the strongest sorcerer in existence, Gojo simpers like it's a national competition and he's never lost a year. "Nanamin," he whines, "I'm so so so serious. Can I please pet your adorable little kitty ears?" "Pet your own damn ears," Nanami says. * Or: the one where Nanami and Gojo get hit with the catboy beam. Nanami is trying to focus on the mission and Gojo is focusing on... something else. based on @weyport's neko-nanago art and fueled by nanami's cat-salaryman gap moe

What she sees is Gojo holding out his hand to Nanami, who spares it nothing more than a glance. "That's unnecessary," he says. "Sure, but it's nice. I'm nice," Gojo replies. "Wouldn't you say I'm nice, Nanamin?" He wiggles his fingers in invitation.

"Nanamin," Yuuji stage-whispers, intrigue shining in his eyes. "Do you have a secret admirer?" Nanami's expression looks pained. "I… wouldn't say that." * Or: 5 ways Nanami and Gojo kept their relationship a secret (+ the 1 time they didn't)

Gesturing at the sad flop of flesh all across her lunch table, Nobara quirks an eyebrow up. "Who's he being miserable over?" "That!" Gojo exclaims, shooting up in his seat, suddenly injected with the energy of a thousand suns. He freezes there, mouth open and expression shining– before he slumps again, burying his face in his hands. "I can't tell you." "It's all very hush-hush," Mei Mei agrees. "He's very depressed by it."
