lowkey wanna turn this into a full oneshot

if he heard one more twelve year old’s squeaky voice whispering to one another, saying he’s ‘got a crush on the school nurse’ he swears he’s gonna write up the whole grade.

god, it’s even worse when one of the eighth grade girls come up to him when he’s on lunch duty.

“mr., mr. ! did you know the nurse mentioned she likes tall guys when i went into her room for a tylenol !”

“what does that have to do with me ?” he grumbles, scrunching his face while the girl and her friend stare up at him.

“well everyone knows you like like her—”

“GO SIT DOWN!”

he swears the whole lunchroom conveniently goes quiet when he yells that as the girls squirm away back to their tables and start whispering around gossip.

though he’d never admit it, you know that deep, deep down he loves the slow roll of your hips over his cock, the way your velvet walls squeeze him perfectly, the slowwww torture when you lift yourself off him.

“oh, p—please,” his voice cracks with a broken whimper of your name, hands digging into your waist and eyes watery. his bottom lip trembles slightly, glasses askew, cock twitching in desperation as he watches, waits to feel you again.

“i said not to cum yet,” you murmur, and he nods frantically, trying to distract himself from how much he’s aching—his tip’s flushed an angry red, the shaft slick with precum and your own arousal.

“i won’t, i swear,” he babbles, eyes rolling back when you sink back down onto him, his hands secured on the plush of your thighs as you start lifting your hips in a languid rhythm.

the sound is so lewd, too—wet, insistent slapping that makes choso bite down on his lip harder, nearly drawing blood. his eyes draw to where you meet his base, frothed and drenched already. and when he’s close for the nth time—he squeezes his eyes shut and whines, and you feel his cock tense inside you—you just pull off. again and again.

the sweetest joy, perhaps, is watching choso force himself to hold his release in when you climax over his cock, pussy clenching him so hard it hurts him to have restraint. he has to watch you moan, watch your face contort in pleasure as you use his cock to push you over the edge.

you’re panting, coming off your high, and every part of choso’s tensed up, holding, waiting for his precious girl to give him permission. the split second you whisper a soft, “okay, you can cum now,” he’s falling back against his pillows with a shattered cry, tears streaming down his face.“thankyouthankyouthankyou,” he sobs, melting even more when you coo his name gently, kissing his cheeks with a little smile.

choso’s mind is gone, still catching his breath, his cock still snug between your walls, and his heart skips a beat at the thought that maybe tomorrow, you’ll edge him with your mouth.

maybe tonight, if he begs enough.

“Are you a virgin?”

You asked Nanami once when you were two hours past your shift to which he dodged the question.

It's nine in the evening on a Saturday night. You were supposed to be in the club with your girls, but here you are instead. Stuck in the same old boring office waiting for his signal for you to clock out.

Nanami seems to have other plans for you these past few days. You're supposed to leave work after ordering his dinner but lately he's been keeping you longer than your usual work hours and it's been pissing you off.

This happened for about four days now. And you might just know what it means but you don't want to assume too much.

You could see it in the way he looks at you when he thinks you aren't looking. Or how he always offers to give you a ride home so you won't have to take the train.

He seems pretty invested in whatever work he's doing, so you asked random questions to gain his attention and to kill time.

“Where is this coming from?” your name left his lips like some kind of foreign language. He usually kept a stoic face, not showing much emotion. You could never tell what mood he's in.

But this time though, you could see his facial expression shift a little.

A smirk crept up your face.

“So you are a virgin.” you confirm your assumption. Nanami shut his eyes as he placed his fingers on his temple, tired dealing with whatever nonsense you're onto.

(It’s not ovulation day, it’s every day…)

Satoru Gojo x Reader

Being loved by the strongest is complicated. Being married to him as a sorcerer from a despised clan makes you dangerous. But no one is foolish enough to cross the line of an utterly devoted man, right?

The first week after the wedding, Satoru Gojo stopped pretending he had any self-control. Not that he’d had much to begin with. But now? Now he didn’t even try. 

He was fairly certain he was going to live in a permanent honeymoon state forever. And honestly, he wasn’t complaining.

“You’re being obnoxious” you murmured under your breath, keeping your tone carefully neutral as he leaned down behind you, his chin settling comfortably on your shoulder. His weight was lazy, both arms draped around your waist like he’d decided this was his new default position.

“Mmm-no,” he corrected lightly, breath warm against your ear “I’m being a married man” 

You kept your eyes forward, expression composed, because the second you acknowledged the fact that Satoru Gojo was practically purring into your neck in front of the entire staff, you would lose whatever dignity you still had left.

You met him at Jujutsu High, back when you were nothing more than two stupid teenagers with too much power and even less sense. It hadn’t been instant. Not even close.

You were a year younger, and he behaved like he owned the place—which, in hindsight, maybe he did. Still, that wasn’t the point.

Then came shared missions. Long nights. Close calls. Feelings you hadn’t planned on—feelings Satoru had made very sure would take root.

And now here you were. Married. Seven days in.

He squeezed your waist once — absentmindedly possessive. You pinched his wrist in retaliation.

He grinned. You didn’t need to see it, you could hear it in the way his shoulders shifted, smug and pleased with himself.

You finally slipped out of his hold just enough to turn and look at him.

“Didn’t you have a class to teach or something?”

“Hm?” one hand came up to his chin, thoughtful “I don’t th—”

“Sensei.” Megumi’s voice cut in before he could finish — flat, cold, and deeply unimpressed. 

He stood a few feet away, posture straight, expression carved from stone as always. His dark eyes are fixed squarely on Gojo’s face.

“Stop behaving like a teenager and come teach the class” he says evenly. “We’re waiting.”

There’s a beat of silence.

Slowly, you look up at your husband.

Megumi’s gaze shifted then — just slightly — and softened when it landed on you.

“Mrs. Gojo” he says, bowing his head a fraction.

“In my defense,” Satoru says thoughtfully, “I forgot.”

Megumi exhaled through his nose.

“You didn’t forget,” he replied flatly. “You ignored it.”

Satoru grinned, shameless.

“Details”

Megumi looked like he was reconsidering every life decision that led him here.

“Sensei” he said again, warning creeping into his tone.

You stepped back, folding your arms. “Go. Teach.”

Satoru sighed like he’d been asked to endure something truly unbearable — but before moving, he leaned down and pressed a quick, warm peck to your lips.

Casual. Unapologetic. In front of Megumi.

“You’re doing that on purpose” you muttered

“Of course I am” Satoru replied brightly.

He finally stepped away, squeezing your hand once more. You smiled, shaking your head as you watched his broad back stroll off toward the exit without a care in the world.

“Let’s go, Megumiiii” he sing-songed as he passed his student.

But Megumi didn’t follow immediately.

He lingered by the doorway, posture relaxed, expression unreadable.

“Mrs. Gojo.”

You looked at him, resisting the urge to tell him he didn’t need to be so formal—neither you nor Satoru cared—but Megumi was endearingly respectful, so you let him have it.

“Megs” you answered, tilting your head.

“He’s worse lately.”

You blinked once. Then raised an eyebrow. “Worse?”

“More…” He hesitated, searching for the word. “…attached.”

A soft huff escaped you before you could stop it. “He’s always been attached.”

Megumi’s gaze dropped for half a second, then returned—sharp. Certain.

“This is different.”

The words settled heavier than they should have, and you didn’t answer right away.

He wasn’t wrong.

There was something different. Something that had crept in quietly beneath the teasing and theatrics, beneath the hands on your waist and the shameless affection.

Something denser. More deliberate. Protective, yes—but not playful. Watchful. Like he was constantly counting exits. Like he was listening for threats that hadn’t arrived yet.

You straightened without realizing it, shoulders squaring.

“Don’t worry,” you said, offering Megumi a small smile. “I’ll fix it.”

It was only half a joke.

You’d known Megumi since he was six years old—played with him, walked him to school, watched him grow. You knew him well enough to recognize concern when he buried it. And the last thing you wanted was for him to feel responsible for something that wasn’t his to carry.

He studied you for another second, then nodded once. Without another word, he turned and headed inside.

You stayed where you were.

And for just a split second—you felt it again.

That distant awareness.

Like someone, somewhere, was watching.

—

Nanami found you where he always did when your thoughts grew heavy.

A quiet corner of the campus, far enough from the main buildings that the noise faded into something distant. You’d started coming here years ago, back when you were still students—back when you and Nanami were simply classmates learning how to survive the system.

Same year. Same rank. Same expectations.

Your friendship had been built in silence, shared exhaustion, and the unspoken understanding of what it meant to be useful to the wrong people.

You were leaning against the railing when he approached, his glasses catching the late afternoon light before he removed them.

“You’re thinking too loudly” he said, resting his forearms beside yours against the cool metal.

That earned a quiet huff of a laugh. “That obvious?”

“With you?” he replied. “Yes.”

For a moment, neither of you spoke. Nanami didn’t push—he never did. He waited, patient as always.

He was the person you trusted most after Satoru. And right now, the only one you could speak to freely.

“I feel like the higher-ups have been circling,” you said eventually. “Not openly. Just… watching.”

Nanami turned his head slightly, jaw tightening almost imperceptibly.

“They’re unsettled.”

“Because of Satoru,” you said.

“Because of you” he corrected gently.

You closed your eyes for a moment.

Your technique had never been flashy—no explosions, no spatial distortions. Just amplification. Pure. Terrifying. When you touch another sorcerer, their attacks become absolute. No misfires. No wasted effort.

And power like that had always made people nervous.

Your clan had never fit neatly into jujutsu politics either. Old, but not obedient. Powerful, but uninterested in tradition for tradition’s sake. They’d refused council seats that demanded compliance. Refused marriages arranged for optics.

The higher-ups had done everything they could to keep the Ataru at the edges.

Until you married Satoru Gojo.

“An Ataru married a Gojo” Nanami said quietly. “And not just any Gojo —him. ” he paused only a fraction before adding “They won’t forgive that” 

“No” you murmured, tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear.

Silence settled again—heavier this time.

“They don’t like that an Ataru now has access” Nanami continued

You nodded. 

You weren’t just married to a Gojo. You were married to Satoru. The strongest sorcerer alive. A man the higher-ups couldn’t control, punish, or touch.

But you?

You were reachable.

“I won’t abandon my clan,” you said. “And I won’t apologize for my marriage.”

“I wouldn’t expect you to.”

From somewhere deeper in the campus, Satoru’s voice carries—loud, dramatic, unmistakable.

Nanami’s gaze flicked briefly in that direction. When it returns to you, it lingers.

“He will protect you” he says. Not reassuring. Just stating a fact.

You don’t answer. But he notices the way your shoulders have gone rigid. The way your hand tightens against the railing, knuckles paling slightly. Your gaze drops, lashes lowering as your brow knits without you meaning to.

He exhales quietly. He has always been good at reading what people don’t say.

“You don’t want him to” he says after a moment.

The words catch you off guard. You look up at him, surprised —Because he’s right, and because you hadn’t let yourself put it into words yet.

Megumi’s voice echoes in your head. 

This is different.

Not the affection. Not the attention. The weight behind it. The way Satoru’s presence sharpens when he’s around you.

“He already carries enough,” you say “Just.. being who he is.”

You vaguely hear Nanami say your name, but it barely registers.

“I don’t want to be another thing he needs to get his hands dirty for.”

Nanami studies you for a second longer.

“If you can’t—or don’t want to—talk about it with him,” he says evenly, “at least trust me. Don’t fight this alone.”

You hesitate.

It’s brief. Barely noticeable. But it’s there.

“Thank you” you say quietly.

Nanami inclines his head once, accepting it without comment.

When you finally turn and walk back toward the building, your gaze drops to the ring on your finger.

Proof.

And the terrifying reminder of what Satoru Gojo is capable of when something matters to him.

Morning light poured in through the penthouse windows, catching on bare skin, rumpled silk sheets, and the solid weight of Satoru above you.

“Toru” you warned, already breathless, hands still tangled in his hair.

“Yes, wife?” he replied, lifting his head just enough to look at you, those devastatingly bright eyes fixed on your face from where he was settled between your ribs, completely unbothered.

He’d already fucked you as a good morning, and then decided you wouldn’t be escaping the bed. Or him.

“I have a meeting” you grumbled, palms pressing uselessly against his shoulders. He was all lean muscle and stubbornness. “If I’m late because my husband decided to be a menace before breakfast, I’m blaming you.”

“What are you talking about?” he said, shamelessly grinning “I’m having breakfast exactly right now.”

Then his tongue dragged in one slow, deliberate lick along your sternum.

“Four years together and I still can’t get enough” he murmured against your skin—and proved it a second later, shifting just enough to press himself into you. 

You gasped, before you could stop yourself, fingers tightening in his nape.

God. He was addictive.

And you’d known exactly what you were signing up for when you married him.

His mouth found your neck, warm and open, while one large hand slid down to your hip, fingers spreading possessively, grounding himself while keeping you still.

“Are you bored of me yet?” he murmured, grinding once more, a low sound slipping from his throat as his nose brushed your jaw.

This was the side of Satoru the world never saw—the raw, needy hunger of a man who spent his life being treated like a god and only felt human when he was tangled in your sheets. Infinity off. Blindfold gone. A small, fragile bubble where he was just a husband enjoying his wife.

“I could never” you breathed, caressing his cheek “But I have to go” 

He leaned into your touch before resting his forehead against yours, breath warm, familiar. For a moment, neither of you moved. Then—reluctantly—he eased back

“Just because it’s sexy,” he said, smirking, voice low and lazy “you going to work while I stay home playing housewife, begging you to stay.”

You snorted softly, thumb brushing along his jaw.

“That’s crazy. Anyone would think the Six Eyes user might actually have a lot of work to do.”

“Never heard that before” he replied smoothly, unfazed.

You laughed, the sound light, and tugged the robe closed as you finally stood. His eyes followed the movement with open appreciation, head tilting slightly like he was committing the image to memory.

You leaned down again, unable to help yourself, capturing his mouth in one last slow kiss. He responded instantly, hands coming up to your waist, pulling you closer like he still wasn’t done with you. 

“You’ll be late too” you warned lightly against his lips, half a tease, half genuine.

“I’m the strongest,” he said easily, mouth brushing yours again. “I can afford it.”

“Arrogant.”

“You married me anyway”

You sighed, forehead dropping briefly against his shoulder, smiling despite yourself.

“Can’t argue with that”

When you finally pulled away, you felt it—the warmth, the safety. The last uncomplicated moment of your day.

—

You’d already finished reading the folder by the time you spoke. The papers now lay closed on the desk between you and Yaga.

“A support assignment,” you said, eyes still on the folder.

Yaga remained quiet, hands folded on the desk.

“For a grade one sorcerer” you added, skepticism threading your voice.

You lifted your gaze.

“Why me?” The question lingered in the air for only a heartbeat before you shook your head once—a small, humorless motion.

“No,” you corrected yourself quietly. “Actually, I know why.”

Yaga didn’t interrupt. He simply waited, eyes steady, as if he already knew the shape your thoughts would take. As if he’d watched you learn to trace them years ago.

“My cursed technique almost guarantees success for any sorcerer’s strike” you continued, almost absentmindedly. 

Yaga didn’t react. He didn’t need to—you’d had this conversation in pieces years ago. He had been the one to help you understand it in the first place—back when you were still clumsy with your cursed energy

“But it’s most effective when paired with lower-grade sorcerers,” you continued. “It corrects their cursed energy output. It removes the margin for failure.”

You paused, fingers curling slightly against the arm of the chair.

“With Nanami,” you went on, more carefully, “there’s nothing to compensate for. He’s more than capable of handling this alone.”

Silence settled between you—heavy, but not uncomfortable.

“Not only that,” you added, because accuracy mattered, “I’d be a nuisance. This assignment doesn’t require me.”

“I know,” he said.

Two words. Flat. Honest.

“The order came with specific instructions,” he continued. “They requested a sorcerer.”

A pause.

“By name.”

Your jaw tightened, just slightly. It was a reaction you didn’t bother hiding. It wasn’t a surprise for either of you.

“The mission is in a few days. I can’t cancel it or alter the assignment” Yaga said. “But I can make sure you’re not walking in blind.”

You looked down at the folder again, though there was nothing new to see. You hesitated—just barely—before speaking.

“They think they’re subtle,” you said. “But this doesn’t look procedural.”

“That’s exactly why I’m worried,” Yaga replied. You understood immediately what he meant.

“I don’t want Satoru to know” you said, voice low but steady. “I don’t want him intervening.”

A breath.

“Please.”

He studied you for a long moment—not as your principal, not as your superior, but as someone who had watched you grow from a reckless first-year into something far more dangerous. And far more exposed.

“You’re asking me to withhold information that concerns you from Satoru Gojo” he said evenly. “Are you aware of that?”

“I’m asking you to trust me,” you replied.

Another pause.

“And I do,” Yaga said at last.

The words weren’t light. They carried responsibility.

“But you won’t underestimate them,” he continued. “If anything changes—”

“If this stops being manageable—”

“I’ll tell you,” you said immediately. No hesitation.

He studied you a moment longer, searching for cracks that weren’t there. Then he nodded once.

“Good.”

The meeting ended.

But the quiet understanding that something had begun moving—carefully, deliberately—whether any of you liked it or not, lingered long after.

—

You rested two fingers against Inumaki’s shoulder—just long enough for your ritual to take hold—then stepped back.

You’d been working like this for weeks. Inumaki’s technique had always been particularly brutal on himself; every command exacted a price, every word tore something from his own body. Precision mattered. Control mattered. And today—finally—it held.

He inhaled.

“Blast away.”

The command detonated through the training grounds with surgical accuracy. No backlash. Nothing wasted. Nothing misaligned.

When it was over, Inumaki’s hand flew to his throat on instinct.

Then he froze.

No pain. No tearing burn.

He looked at you, eyes wide, and relief washed over his expression—soft, unguarded.

“Salmon?” you said, smirking as you spoke his language.

“Salmon” he replied, cheeks faintly flushed.

You laughed softly. “Perfect. Go rest.”

He bowed quickly, a little clumsy with excitement, before hurrying off toward the dorms.

You watched him go, warmth settling in your chest—quiet pride, simple and deeply satisfying. Beyond exorcising curses, moments like this were exactly why you stayed. Why you kept doing this job.

Your phone rang, the sound cutting cleanly through the calm you hadn’t realized you were holding onto.

Nanami’s name lit up the screen. You closed your eyes for a brief second before answering.

“I was informed this morning,” he said once you picked up, skipping pleasantries entirely, “that your name was added to my upcoming assignment.”

You knew that tone. Years of friendship had taught you how to recognize when his anger was carefully restrained.

You turned slightly, lowering your voice out of habit, even though no one else was close enough to hear.

“Yeah,” you said. “I figured you’d find out.”

“This isn’t standard procedure,” Nanami continued. “They know very well I don’t need an amplifier.”

You exhaled through your nose.

“I’ll go. They want me there” you said, already anticipating where this was headed. “I’m not going to disappear. I can fight. I can exorcise. I can handle myself.”

“I’m aware.”

“For them, it’s a win either way,” you went on “They’ll discredit me if I don’t do my job well—call it inefficiency—even when they know they’re sending me to a mission I’m not needed in the first place. And on the other hand,” you added, more bitterly “they get the chance to see me hurt.”

“It’s not fair. And I won’t let—”

“I want you to treat me like I’m not there” you cut in.

Nanami went quiet.

“If you prioritize me,” you continued, firmer now “if you adjust your movements or your decisions because of me—then they get exactly what they want.”

A long breath came through the line.

“You understand” Nanami said slowly “that the moments you’re amplifying me, you won’t be able to defend yourself.”

“I do.”

“And you’re still intending to amplify me,” he went on, voice tight, “while asking me not to cover you.”

A pause.

“Yes.”

Another beat of silence.

“If I’m going,” you said quietly, resolute “then I’m going to do my job.”

Two days had passed since your meeting with Yaga and the call with Nanami.

Two days during which you had tried—really tried—not to let the conversation replay itself in endless loops inside your head.

You buried yourself in routine. Morning classes. Stacks of mission reports waiting for your signature. Faculty meetings where the same three voices dominated the room while everyone else nodded and pretended to take notes. Familiar motions. Predictable rhythms. Things you could control.

That morning, you had finally spoken to Satoru about the upcoming mission.

You had left out the part where your name appeared on the support roster—not because anyone needed your particular skill set, but because someone had requested you specifically. You omitted the detail that you’d be supporting Nanami unnecessarily, assigned to a role that didn’t actually require you.

On paper, it was clean.

In reality, you knew exactly how it would look through your husband’s eyes. And you knew he would be right.

I don’t want him to be another thing he needs to get his hands dirty for.

You had said those words to Nanami without hesitation. And you had meant them.

Still did.

By the time the sky began to dim into early evening, exhaustion had settled into your bones. It was almost six when you finally left the building, mentally listing the groceries you still needed to pick up before heading home.

You were halfway when a figure detached itself from the covered walkway.

“Mrs. Ataru.”

You stopped, and slowly turned.

You recognized the intermediary immediately—one of the elders who never quite reached the inner circle but carried their messages with almost religious precision. 

You offered a courteous nod and ignored the deliberate omission of your married name. They had all done it at first. Some still did. A quiet, stubborn refusal. A reminder that, in their eyes, Ataru's blood still ran in your veins and that was all that mattered.

“We will be requiring a formal review,” he continued, tone measured and unhurried, “of your operational role moving forward.”

You tilted your head just enough to signal curiosity rather than alarm.

“My role?”

“Your marriage constitutes a significant shift in existing power alignments.”

Ah.

You understood immediately. Satoru and you were expecting it since the wedding announcements went out. 

Of course they were going to keep an eye on you. To make sure an Ataru who now belonged to the Gojo family didn’t interfere more than expected. To keep a rein on an amplifier who had married the strongest sorcerer alive—a man who already stood at the pinnacle of power without any amplification at all.

“You’re concerned about a conflict of interest,” you said calmly, almost conversationally.

The elder didn’t deny it. He inclined his head a fraction—confirmation and dismissal wrapped into one small gesture.

“We believe a reassessment is appropriate.”

You felt the shift before you saw him.

Not a sound. Not a footstep. Just a sudden density in the air behind you, like the atmosphere itself had thickened.

Satoru stood several paces away, white hair catching the dying light, dark glasses firmly in place. He had clearly been on his way home.

Now every line of him radiated something lethal, leashed only because he want it to be. The elder clearly stiffened at the new unexpected presence

“My values and my judgment haven’t changed.” you said firmly

The elder recovered quickly, though his eyes flicked once to Satoru before returning to you.

“That remains to be evaluated.”

Satoru laughed, stepping closer with lazy confidence.

“Evaluate me instead,” he suggested lightly, as if recommending a restaurant. “Since I’m the conflict, clearly.”

“We are well aware of your position and capabilities, Gojo.”

“Are you?”

Two words. The Infinity flexed. The courtyard lanterns flickered once, as if the bulbs had momentarily forgotten how electricity worked.

You moved without thinking, your hand lifting toward Satoru’s chest—right over his heart. Infinity stopped you just short of contact, but it didn’t matter. The message landed anyway.

He looked down at your hand first. Then at your face.

He knew somewhere beyond the quiet campus, behind closed doors and carefully measured conversations, men with too much authority began calculating risk. But here, in the fading light, with his attention wholly—dangerously—focused on you, Satoru Gojo wasn’t thinking about politics. He was thinking about you, and the catastrophic mistake of anyone who mistook you for a weakness.

So he smiled again—slow and deliberate— and let the pressure ease.

“Of course,” he said brightly, voice slipping back into its familiar lightness. “Oversight. Committees. Reports. Love that for us.”

The elder bowed stiffly—more reflex than respect—and retreated down the walkway, his measured pace doing very little to disguise how quickly he wanted distance between himself and the two of you.

You waited until the sound of his footsteps disappeared completely.

Only then did you lower your hand.

“Don’t.” 

The word left your mouth softer than you intended, but it didn’t tremble.

“Don’t what?” he asked.

“Escalate.”

The courtyard felt too open all of a sudden. Too exposed. You were aware—acutely—of how easily he could turn this into something irreversible. How thin the line was between restraint and spectacle.

You knew, and you had expected it. The scrutiny. The political recalibration. The quiet attempts at pressure disguised as procedure. You had known they would try to test you. Test him. Test the space between you.

You had walked into it willingly.

“They’re underestimating you.”

You held his gaze.

“And you?” you asked softly. “Are you underestimating me?”

You asked because it mattered. You weren’t shrinking. You weren’t flinching. And you needed to know that he saw that.

His eyes sharpened immediately.

“Never.”

You stepped closer—closing the last of the distance so there was no ambiguity left between you.

“This is manageable,” you said. “It’s annoying. It’s intrusive. But it’s manageable.”

He studied you for a long moment. The way he sometimes looked at unfamiliar cursed techniques right before dismantling them

“You knew this would happen,” he said quietly.

“Yes.” you answered without hesitation.

“And you married me anyway.”

There it was. A confirmation.

“Yes”

Something flickered across his expression, and you barely had time to breathe before the world folded.

There was no warning—just the sudden, disorienting snap of space collapsing. The penthouse materialized in a blur of glass and twilight, and before your mind could catch up, Satoru had you pinned against the cool glass of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Tokyo glittered thousands of feet below—distant, irrelevant. All you could feel was the radiator heat of his body pressed flush against yours.

“Satoru—”

You really looked at him then. At the tight set of his jaw. At the sharp, dangerous focus behind the lenses of his glasses. At the way all that power narrowed until it was only you.

“What did we talk about,” you said breathlessly, “teleporting me home without warning?”

“Right now, I don’t care.” His voice dropped into a rough register that sent a sharp ache straight through you. “They don’t get to touch you.”

He still hadn’t used his hands. Just his weight. His chest rising and falling against yours.

“They don’t even get to look at you like you’re something they can put on a scale.”

“I handled it,” you said, pulse finally catching up. Your fingers trembled as you hooked them into his collar. “You saw that.”

“I saw a dead man walking,” he corrected. He leaned closer, mouth hovering inches from yours, breath warm—coffee and something rawer beneath it. “You were too polite. Too professional. You’re too good for them.”

“You don’t get to go feral preemptively,” you said, trying—and failing—to ground yourself.

His mouth curved into a sharp, dangerous smirk. “Feral?”

“Yes. I can see it building.”

You said it lightly. Almost teasing.

Inside, you were deadly serious.

He laughed under his breath.

“You have no idea how feral I am right now. Seeing them omit your name. Seeing them treat my wife like a line item in a budget.”

That was when he finally moved.

His hands came up—not to your waist, not yet—but to your wrists, pinning them above your head against the glass. The cold at your back and the furnace of him in front made your thoughts blur.

“You married a monster,” he murmured, nose tracing the line of your jaw.

“No,” you corrected, breath hitching as his mouth brushed sensitive skin beneath your ear. “I married a man.”

Something in him broke.

Just for a second.

Raw. Unguarded.

He pulled back enough to look at you, blue eyes burning brighter than any cursed energy—stripped of every shield he wore for the world. You felt the exact moment his control wavered.

His grip loosened.

You slid your hands free and cupped his face, lifting his glasses away.

“And I love that man so much it hurts,” you whispered, thumb brushing his lower lip. “So let me take care of you tonight, Satoru.”

His breath stuttered.

And even as your thoughts churned—the conversation with Yaga, the call with Nanami, the mission in which you had never truly been necessary—is this the right thing to do? Am I making this worse? Should I have handled things differently?—deep down, the truth was that you didn’t regret it.

You had chosen to protect him from one more thing that might demand blood.

You didn’t want this weight on his shoulders.

Didn’t want him thinking that marrying you had turned your life into a liability.

Didn’t want him carrying guilt for decisions you had made on your own.

If you could give him even a moment of peace before everything shifted—before the mission, before the scrutiny, before whatever came next—then maybe, just for tonight, that would be enough.

if you’re thinking “wait, didn’t you already post this?” no ❤️ you didn’t see anything. It's not on my masterlist🤫
