Christmas morning, the most exciting morning of the year. Little Megumi is too excited to see what Santa has left for him under the Christmas tree. His birthday just passed, but that day isnât as exciting as Christmas morning. One present is nothing compared to a mountain of gifts.
âSanta came!â Megumi barges into your bedroom, waking you and Toji first thing in the morning. Toji complains, mad that his slumber is interrupted for nothing. You, on the other hand, are as excited as Megumi. You canât wait to see his reaction to the gifts that Santa brought for him.Â
You drag Toji out in your matching pajamas, while the man complains about being exhausted. He had to keep an eye on Megumi last night, he wanted to make sure that the child wasnât trying to catch Santa Claus at the wrong moment.Â
âCanât he wait a minute?â Toji complains, but neither of you listen to the old man. The exhaustion quickly goes away when he sees all the gifts under the treeâ Thatâs all his money. But he wonât jump to conclusions yet⊠Maybe itâs just some cheap gifts, nothing to worry about.
You two take a seat on the couch as Megumi runs to get his gifts.
âWhat does that read, Megumi?â You ask him before Megumi tears the wrapping paper to shreds.Â
âTo Megumi, from mom and dad.â Megumi reads, and Tojiâs eyebrows perk up. Megumi opens the gift to find a jacket, nothing too fun for the little guy who tosses it to the side.
âHey! Let me see that!â Toji yells, and Megumi pouts as he grabs the jacket and hands it back to his father. Toji snatches it out of the childâs hands, telling him, âYou could be a little more grateful.â
âThank you.â Megumi dryly responds, as Toji reads the brand of the jacket. Like hell the gift was from the two of you, Toji is just seeing this exists.
âExpensive brand.â Tojiâs eyes narrow before looking at you. You kiss his cheek before resting your head on his shoulder, a trick that always works to help him calm down.
âHeâll wear it a lot.â You respond, and Toji sighs. He guesses youâre right. Toji just hopes that not everything under that tree is as expensive.
âSanta got me a Nintendo Switch!â Megumi exclaims not even a minute later, and Tojiâs hand goes over his heart. Oh, this is it. This is whatâll kill him.
âSanta?â Toji responds, slowly turning his head to look at you. Youâre smirking, guilty as charged. To add more salt to the wound, Megumi yells,
âAnd some games!â
Toji had nearly forgotten that he hated this holidayâ By the time heâll financially recover, Christmas will roll around again.
*with a dark and evil aura surrounding me* I'm shy
tfw ur wife turns into a cat đ (based on this cute fic by @pseudowho )
the first time it happens, sukuna doesn't even react.
your daughter, a tiny little thing with a head full of wild hair that looks just like his but with your color, storms up to him while he's adjusting his tie. she's got a determined look on her face, a plastic figurine clutched in her tiny handsâa sonny angel doll, of all things.
"papa, hold," she demands, her chubby fingers working to shove it into the breast pocket of his pristine, custom-made suit. he looks down at her, red eyes blinking slowly. then he looks at you, standing off to the side, barely holding back your laughter.
"what is this?" he asks flatly.
"sonny angel," your daughter says like it's obvious. "he's cute. for you."
you make a choked noise behind your hand, and sukuna exhales through his nose. his baby girl, his tiny menace, is standing there with all the confidence of someone who has never been told 'no' in her life. because, well. she hasn't. so what does he do? he lets her shove the damn thing in his pocket. adjusts it a little so it's sitting neatly, because if he's going to have a tiny cherub-faced baby figurine sticking out of his suit, it's at least going to look intentional.
"happy?" he asks.
his daughter beams at him, gives his pant leg a firm pat like he's done a good job, then scurries off to continue whatever other toddler nonsense she was up to before this. youâre wheezing in the corner.
"don't say a word," he warns, fixing his cuffs.
you grin. "i didn't say anything."
cut to his meeting later that day. sukuna walks in like he owns the place (because he does), radiating his usual aura of dominance and unrelenting authority. his executives are already seated, tense and ready, knowing full well that sukuna does not entertain idiocy. but today? today there is something new. today, nestled neatly in the breast pocket of his three-piece suit, is a tiny, plastic baby figurine wearing a duck hat.
the entire room freezes.
one poor soul, likely new and unaware of how the corporate hierarchy works under sukuna, makes the grave mistake of letting out the faintest, almost imperceptible snort.
sukuna turns his head very slowly.
"who the fuck just laughed?"
silence. absolute, suffocating silence. the man looks down at his notes as if they might save him from impending doom.
sukuna leans back in his chair, tapping a clawed finger against the conference table.
"anyone else got something to say about my sonny angel?"
no one breathes.
good.
he conducts the rest of the meeting as if nothing is out of place, occasionally adjusting the little doll in his pocket like it's just another part of his attire.
by the end of the week, rumors have spread. no one dares to question the sonny angel. entire powerpoint presentations are given with the utmost professionalism while a tiny, smiling cherub peeks out of sukunaâs suit.
by the end of the month, it becomes an unofficial rule of the office. mock the sonny angel? fired. make a comment? fired. even looking at it for too long earns you a pointed glare.
and by the end of the quarter, the entire upper management team has started discreetly wearing their own sonny angels in solidarity. your daughter, completely oblivious to the corporate chaos she has caused, simply continues her toddler life, happy and content in the knowledge that her papa always carries her gift with him.
and sukuna? well. if having a tiny plastic baby in his pocket means seeing his little girlâs delighted grin every morning, then so be it.

part one ! part 2 ! part 3 !
part two in the worksâŠ
disclaimer !! slow burn, fluff, angst/comfort, yearning satoru, whipped satoru, satoru is just so enamoured with reader omg. follows the âwas i just a bet?â premise!! eventual smut (most likely). reader is implied to wear very cutesy kinds of clothings and enjoys very girly and feminine things !!
artist: thatsallitcheif on x!
âyo, toru. whatcha lookin at?â
standing so sweetly in line at jujutsu universityâs student cafe, stood the most adorably breathtaking girl satoru swears heâd ever laid eyes on. looking up at the variety board of drinks with one adorable manicured nail tapping your chin, you shyly made your way up to the counter.
you weâre what he was staring at.
suguru nudged the white haired boys shoulder as they sat back on a bench, not far from the cafĂ©âs store front. they lounged back with widespread legs, still dressed in their sweaty basketball jerseys.
âhey man, iâm talking to you.â
shaking his head trying to regather his thoughts, satoru half heartedly responded.
âyeah man that sounds good. whatever you wanna do.â
the purple eyed man let out an annoyed huff, âthatâs not evenâ you know what? forget it.â used to his best friends frequent ditzy zone-outs, suguru knew it was best to just drop it and try his luck asking about what had him so enamoured later.
satoru paid no mind to it, still trailing his eyes over your frame as you seemed to stumble over your words when ordering whatever cute little iced drink heâs sure a sweet thing like you enjoyed. he wasnât sure what had his eyes suddenly so drawn to you, a random campus girl heâd never seen in his life.
maybe it was the fact you had the whole, âgirl next doorâ thing down pat, or maybe how you looked like you owned fifty vintage Hollister sweaters, the real tight ones that showed off your body in that innocent kind of way. you were clad in just that, a grey one, paired with a cute skirt, some stockings and those leg warmers he always saw the cute girls on instagram wear.
very attractive, in his opinion.
he let out a deep breath through his lips as he watched you sip the straw of what looked to be an iced latte, your rosy pink gloss slightly staining the white paper. how could he see from so far away? no one really knew, satoru gojo was known for having real good eyes.
he was known for a lot, actuallyâ his trust fund worth more than what it cost to build the prestigious university and then some, or his effortless charm that never failed to nudge pretty sorority girls into his bed.â but most of all, satoru gojo was most renowned throughout jujutsu for his insane ragers; the ones where the cops get called one way or another, and hundreds of drunken collage kids scramble in all directions out of his notorious frat, alpha phi. and sure, he was at uni for basketball like his buddy suguru, but satoru could ace any course this school had to offer, and that was the scariest thing about him, his sheer wit.
âsuguru, dâyou know that girl sitting over there, at the cafe? the one with the cute sweater.â
his friend raised his head from looking down at his phone to meet where satoru was pointing.
âah, so thatâs what you were looking at. glad i got my answer ten minutes fucking later, tsk.â suguru pocketed his phone and sat back against the bench, continuing.
âyeah i know her, the names y/n. sheâs in my ethics class, a real cute one, huh? really quiet, always fiddling with her hair and shit, classical doll faced nerd.â he said pulling out a cigarette.
satoru nodded and hummed in response, still watching you from afar as you tapped at your phone, shyly tucked away at a table outside the cafe and under a big oak tree.
ây/nâŠâ
âwhat, you wanna talk to her or something? the whole shy and prude thing isnât really your type, fuck boy. iâm almost certain a sweet thing like that doesnât need a frat boy ruining her life, donât cha think?â suguru chuckled with a now lit cigarette between his lips.
god, he was right. sure satoru had pretty much pictured your adorable little self in a long white wedding dress alreadyânot sure why, since he never entertained the idea of getting married; especially not anytime soonâbut the way you carried yourself, the way your sparkly little nails traced the lid of your cup as you looked down through your long, pretty lashes at whatever was on your phone had him completely entranced.
âjesus christ satoru. you look like a dog in heat staring daggers through her head like that.â the black haired man took a puff before continuing. âif you really want to, just go over and sweet talk her, get her number, fuck âer real good and get it outta your system.â suguru said nonchalantly.
satoru shivered a bit at the thought, like for once, just fucking someone and dipping was suddenly disgusting. for once he looked at someone he found attractive and instead of feeling the urge to rut inside and fulfil his desires, he felt a compulsion to care for and protect them. god what was he? a fucking dog? reluctantly, satoru sighed and stood up infront of the other male.
ânah man⊠youâre right, sheâs just a bit too⊠âpureâ looking for someone like me. letâs get outta here, i need a drink.â
suguru chuckled as he clasped hands with his friend, satoru pulling him up from his seated position. âpretty girls like that deserve better than us, toru.â he only let out a breathy chuckle, knowing deep down he was very right, that he should just ignore the deep feeling of warmth inside his gut from when he was staring at you earlier.
later that night, now dressed in a black shirt and grey sweats (get my reference) paired with the classic fuck boy silver chain and jordanâs, satoru was sat on his frats couch, sipping the jungle juice him and nanami made earlier for tonightâs party.
bodies clashed on the makeshift dance floor as the smell of weed and booze hung heavy in the air. on any normal night, satoru would be in the middle of it all, dancing and making out with whatever sorority chick he chose for the evening, but now? he was moping alone at the edges of the crowd. his mind was hazy with a distant feeling of⊠dread? was he seriously feeling anxious in the one place he thrived the most?
he let out a sigh and stood up, downing his drink, trying to revoke some sort of âparty satoruâ he knew was swimming somewhere inside him. but with each faked smile he plastered on his pretty face when greeting his fellow frat brothers with claps in the back, he felt himself growing more and more uneasy.
each thought swimming around in his head was full of one thing, and that was the cutie he saw at the cafe earlier today, ây/n.â
he repeated the name over and over again in his head. it was an adorable name, one fit for someone as sweet looking as you. what would she be doing right now? sleeping? studying? showering? his thoughts were interrupted when he heard the name he was just singing in his mind come from the familiar mouth of his friend, choso.
ây/n? who the hell is that?â suguru, choso, and yuuji were all standing around in a small semi cirlcle, drinks in hands as suguru was letting the alcohol talk for him.
âjust this girl satoru couldnât stop eye-fucking today.â he said slightly slurring his words.
satoru rolled his eyes and turned to join them. âwhatâs new? heâs always doing that.â said yuuji, earning a chuckle from choso. suguru also laughed before continuing.
âyeah, but this girl was different. sheâs the sweet type, yâknow? the ones that look so cute and untouched you feel bad for even lookin at em in that kinda way. ainât that right satoru? poor guy didnât even go up to her..â
the blue eyed man rolled his eyes. âtsk, so what i was staring? she was cute. and i didnât want to sleep with her alright. just eye candy, thatâs all.â
all three guys were inwardly confused. their party animal of a friend, the most confident ladies man they knew was getting all hung up over a quiet, shy girl he saw at a damn cafe? what the fuck?
choso tried to stifle a laugh. âyouâre telling me you saw a girl you liked and didnât fuck her? whatâs wrong with you man, are you sick?â the small group laughed, and so did he. because they were right, not once had he not gotten what he wanted from a girl, but this time he held back.
why? why the hell didnât he just go up to you and ask for your number? now he was stuck at this party he didnât want to be at anymore getting harassed by his stupid friends. he was sucked out of his self pity when choso nudged his arm.
âgojo, five hundred dollars says you canât fuck her by the end of june.â the brunette man said, taking a swig of his drink. before satoru could outright refuse, suguru jumped in. âraise that to one thousand. this guys not doing it.â
they were winding him up, and it was working. âyou fuckers are so lost. but fuck it, whatever. two thousand dollars says that i can fuck her by the end of may.â it was currently march, so that meant two months to woo you.
god, he shouldnât of shortened it. he shouldn't of said that at all! but what else could you do when your fuckass friends try brusing your ego?
suguru and satoru shook on it.
~
the first time you had ever seen satoru gojo was late one afternoon on campus, he had his tounge down a very pretty girls throat, one from your chemistry course. the girl was a tad bit bitchy but she never bothered you, so you just assumed it was her boyfriend and didn't think much of it.
oh were you wrong.
from then on out you had managed to catch the white haired male flirting, touching up on, and kissing four different girls on four different occasions throughout the collage grounds.
'oh, so he's a slut.'
you didn't have the brain space to think too much about the stupid frat guys that ran the school like teenagers with too much testosterone, so you never once thought of the guy again, chalking him up to just another fuck boy.
his friend suguru however? you weren't gonna lie, totally your type. he was in your ethics class and he knew his shit. he was tall, dark and handsome and god he looked like some guy out of a punk rock band. he was your little hallway crush, but you knew of his frisky behaviour being apart of a frat and all, so you only really payed attention to him when you needed something pretty to look at.
like right now, as suguru and the white haired guy you were yet to know the name of sat together squeezing water into their mouths from their water bottles after a basketball training session. they were both pretty guys.
you were walking from your physiology class to the library, shyly taking glances at the black haired male when he suddenly caught your eye. you quickly turned away and walked abit faster to your class, missing the way suguru nudged satoru's elbow with a grin.
"look, it's that girl we made bets on last week."
satorus head flew up to trace your retreating figure. 'god even from this far away she looks stunning.'
he had been searching for you around campus for almost a week straight, under the guides of 'scoping out some fresh meat.' he stood up almost as fast as his head rose and started jogging to catch up to you. god you were adorable, you were dressed in the cutesy style you always stuck to, walking so prettily as your shoes pitter pattered against the concrete. what the hell was he even gonna say when he got to you? he had no idea.
once he had caught up, not even slightly out of breath and still in his sweaty basket ball uniform. he slowed down and walked around beside you, clearing his throat as he stood off to the side but infront of you. he looked down to meet your eyes, and to say he was flabbergasted was an understatement.
shit, you looked even cuter up close. your big eyes and those fluttery lashes had him choked up, the way your hair framed your face, how your long sleeved shirt hugged your figure in all the right ways. he was speechless in your presence.
you were startled when the 6'4 jocked up guy you knew to be a notorious player suddenly approached you. he was towering over you, so much so that you caught a whiff of his heavenly cologne mixed with abit of his sweat.
gross? sure. hot? absolutely.
you assumed he was just trying to pass by so you also cleared your throat gently and picked up your pace, nodding politely in apology as you walked past him completely.
this made satoru panic. he stammered a bit before choking out an awkward "hey! wait up!"
you turned on your heel to see him still standing where he was, bashfully rubbing his neck as he looked away almost... shyly? what the hell?
you nervously played with the sleeves of your shirt that covered the better parts of your wrists, slowly rubbing your lips together as you looked up at him through long lashes. seriously this was getting weird, what did he want? this overly confident frat guy who was known for being rowdy and tuff was almost shying into himself as he stood infront of you.
"...yeah?.." your voice caught him a little off guard, it was silky smooth yet shy and unsure.
'very feminine', he thought.
'what the hell are you doing man... she looks like she'd rather be anywhere else but here standing next to someone like you.' he sighed and tried to push away his self deprecating thoughts. with a deep breath he stared back into your pretty little eyes and finally opened his mouth.
"you're uhm... your hair clip, it's pretty cool."
'her fucking hair clip? really satoru? the prettiest girl you've ever seen in your life is standing right infront of you and you chose to compliment her hair clip of all things?!'
he inwardly groaned, feeling more than embarrassed.
he was shoved out of his own head when he saw your cheeks dust an enticing pink as you fidgeted with the hem of your skirt. you looked so fucking good right now.
"oh, uh. thank you so much." you said with a small smile, trying to stay polite despite your immense discomfort at the moment. he nodded and coughed into a closed fist awkwardly.
'now what?!' since when did talking to pretty girls become this hard for him?! the two of you stood their staring at eachother stiffly, none of you sure what to say next. you were beyond confused, you were sure this was some stupid frat thing where they went up to random girls and tried poking fun at them.
"so uhm... your name is what? i mean- what's your name?" he mentally facepalmed at his idiocy, biting his lip as to not let anymore corny word vomit escape.
you brushed a strand of hair out of your face and blinked up at him, now noticing how ripped he was. each and every muscle on his visiable forearms were perfectly sculpted along with his sharp facial features and piercing eyes.
"it's y/n... and you?"
of course a sweet closeted thing like you didn't know his name. he was more-so famous around the greek scene, but nethertheless he felt his ego take a hit at the lack of knowledge. he looked you once over, trying his best to surprise the noise of appreciation for your absolute perfection from humming out of his throat.
"satoru. satoru gojo."
"uh, cool. did you... need something? from me?-"
"your number." he blurted it out almost a little too loud, immediately covering his mouth and flushing abit red. he cleared his throat and said it again. "could i have your number, please?" he readjusted himself, trying to regain abit of his confidence and act like he knew what he was doing, because he did, he'd done the whole flirting thing a million times for god sake! you were just making it abit difficult with that adorable confused look on your face.
you didn't fully process what he was saying, just that a guy way out of your social circle was trying to get your number, and you were gonna give it to him because you had absolutely no confidence to say no.
so, pulling out your phone encased in its cute pink cover and tons of dangly charms, you pulled up your number and showed it to him to copy down.
satoru, now composed and feeling abit more like his usual self, smiled at your shy gesture. he too took out his phone and quickly jotted down the number into a new contact, you watched him save it under 'n/n đ' .
still flushed, you timidly watched as he pocketed his phone, turning his head to look back at where suguru was sat at the bench not far too far away.
"thanks, sweetheart. i'll text you later, yeah?"
he said it with more calm in his voice, a stark difference from how he first approached you. you nodded awkwardly and turned around to finally walk away. once you were a good distance away from satoru, you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding. did that really happen? why the hell did he of all people want your number? you were getting a tiny bit scared he'd use his frat boy charm to get you into bed and then ditch you like it was any regular friday.
you tried pushing it down, opting to forget about the entire interaction. it would be better on your psyche.
satoru on the other hand, he was estatic. he practically skipped back to suguru with a big goofy smile on his face.
"i got it! man aren't i awesome!"
suguru just smirked and patted his back like a proud father.
"good job, man. now all you gotta do is actually get close enough to her that she'll let you in her pants. an easy 2000 dollars, right?" suguru said a tad condescending.
satoru sucked in a breath, oh yeah, the bet.
~
later that evening, you found yourself studying quietly in your cozy dormitory. it was clad with plushies of all shapes and sizes, a pink plush bed full of fluffy blankets and pillows, and a beautiful vintage style vanity off to one side. your books lay scatters over the soft rug beneath you, you sat beside your bed re-reading the notes taken today in chemistry. with your major being in the science feild, you had frequent nights like this; cramming knowledge inside your pretty little head like there was no tommorow.
you were distracted from the comfort of your blanket pile on the floor by a buzzing on your phone, situated on the vanity across the room.
sighing and standing up with a small groan, you grabbed it and plopped onto your comfy bed. opening up messages, you saw an unknown number pop up the top with another notification.
xxx xxx xxx xx : hey pretty girl
xxx xxx xxx xx : it's gojo
xxx xxx xxx xx : hope i didn't scare you off too badly today đ
you found yourself getting flustered at the messages. sure you got hit on pretty much all the time, but coming from someone as popular as satoru had you quirking your brow due to the clique difference between the two of you.
the only other guy who was similar to satoru that had tried his luck with you was sukuna⊠and that was a shit show. a big frat guy with an even bigger ego mixed with a sweet girl like you was not a good partnership. safe to say you two ended after a few months of being him pushing you around like his own personal plaything.
the thought of being involved with another mean frat boy like that really did frighten you, you wanted to feel loved, not like a trophy to show off.
reading satoruâs messages once over again, you decided to not respond. sure he was kind of sweet today asking for your number all akward and bashful, complimenting the hair clip you took five minutes this morning trying to pick out; but deep down you knew you didnât really want to give him your number. you were just too shy to say no. at least now you had a choice to talk to him or not, and you chose the latter. better to keep yourself safe.
before you could set your phone down, another influx of messages appeared.
xxx xxx xxx xx : read? looks like i did scare you off :(
xxx xxx xxx xx : iâm sorryyy i came off too brash didnât i?
xxx xxx xxx xx : i was being such an akward loser today
xxx xxx xxx xx : please let me redeem myself đđ»
you once again found yourself smiling, maybe responding just once wouldnât hurt.
n/n đ: hey, sorry for not responding earlier !!
n/n đ: i was pretty swamped with course work đ
you clicked on his number and made him a contact before he responded.
gojo : oh hey!
gojo : no worries, glad you're working hard đ€
on the other line, gojo was grinning like a madman at the thought of your nose stuck in a text book.
he was lazing in his room shirtless with a pair of black shorts, his signature thin silver chain dangling from his neck. his room was dimly lit with posters of all the bands he loved plastered on the wall, what a perfect opportunity for a photo. smirking to himself he snapped a photo of his shirtless top half with a big smile on his face, clearly showing off his beautifully sculpted chest.
gojo : [Attachment 1 image] for my contact photo ;)
you did a double take at the photo, clicking into it and zooming in to make sure you were seeing what you thought you were seeing. you weren't normally the type to get all hot and bothered over guys, but shit, he was hot. you shook your head and saved the photo, making it his contact photo since you really didn't have anything else to set it as. your phone dinged again.
gojo : so? where's mine? can't have your photo blank now can we?
you bit your lip nervously. sure you put a lot into your appearance and knew a lot of people thought you were 'absolutely adorable', but you weren't really convinced yourself, so taking selfies wasn't something you were used to.
regardless, you found yourself putting on a small smile and snapping a picture of your pretty face. giving it a once over you hovered over the send button. why did you care about what this guy thought of you anyways? weren't you the one who was just lecturing yourself about not getting involved with another guy like sakuna? you huffed and sent the picture trying not to think too hardly of it.
n/n đ : [Attachment 1 image]
gojo : wowza đ€Ż
gojo : you're fucking stunning đđ
on the other line, satoru could feel his blood rushing south at the photo you sent, it was innocent and oh so adorable. everything about your features made his heart feel woozy. after staring for a good five minutes, analysing each and every aspect of your face and what he could see in the background, he set it as your contact, smiling to himself.
n/n đ: thank you
he chuckled at the some what dry response. he could tell you weren't very comfortable and he desperately wanted to change that.
gojo : hey, so i was thinking... you seem really cool to hang with, we should totally go out some time, yeah?
he hit send quickly so he wouldn't overthink it too much. he watched his screen a bit worriedly. he wasn't sure how you'd respond to that after only just meeting him today, but it's the best he had under his belt. satoru was strictly a hook-ups-only kind of guy, going on dates was foreign for him, but for you, he would.
he saw you read the text and type out a reply, delete it, then type out another.
n/n đ : thank you for the offer ! i'm sorry if this sounds abit rude, but we kind of just met today... and you suddenly want to hang out with me of all people?
n/n đ : is this like, a prank or something like that?
gojo cringed at himself for making you feel like he was trying to hang out with you for ulterior motives -which he kind of was considering the bet- but it was more than that, he genuinely did think you were cute and wanted to get to know you.
gojo : what? no! i just thought you were really cute, that's all. if you donât feel comfortable hanging out i totally get it!
he anxiously watched as you read his message, fiddling with the sheets beneath him.
you did feel bad, really you did. and god knows you're way too shy to outwardly reject anyone. so, you let out a sigh and decided to humour him.
n/n đ : no, no! it's fine don't worry, we can hang out.
with all his anxiety dissipating, gojo let out a breath and quickly typed out a reply.
gojo : awesomee how does tomorrow for coffee at lunch sound? my shout, ofcourse.
n/n đ : okay!
gojo : sweet, i'll meet you outside the cafe at 12, see you then sweetheart ;)
~
the next day came faster than you'd expected. your fingers toyed nervously with the zipper of your off shoulder jacket as you stood beneath the awning of the student cafe, you were standing off to one corner trying not to stand out too much as your eyes scanned the crowd for that unmistakable shock of white hair.
your mind was still reeling, you believe youâd said yes to him. the rational voice in your head had spent the entire morning trying to talk you out of it, replaying memories of the only boyfriend youâd ever had being a frat boy. sukuna.
but here you wereâwaiting for gojo. the satoru gojo.
he showed up exactly at 12:03, He strolled toward you like he owned the pavement, hands shoved into the pockets of his grey sweats, his messy white hair tucked under a backwards baseball cap. He wasnât wearing his usual frat-boy grinâinstead, his eyes flicked over you, softening as he approached, his lips curving into something almost bashful. maybe the frat thing didnât look so bad on him. maybe.
âhey, sweetheart,â he said, voice light but laced with a note of something softer, something real. âhope you werenât waiting too long.â
you shook your head, smiling shyly up at him. âjust got here.â
you werenât used to towering boys like satoru opening doors for you, but he did, motioning for you to walk in first. surprisingly gentlemanly. the cafĂ© was warm, the windows fogged with spring condensation, the air filled with the soft hiss of the espresso machine. once youâd sat outside under the same oak tree heâd first seen you under, surprisingly, satoru stayed mostly quiet. he wasnât bombarding you with charm or flirting overkill like you expected. instead, he seemed⊠careful. like he didnât want to scare you off.
he glanced at the menu, but looked back at you quickly. âtell me what youâre having so i can grab it. i promised iâd pay, remember?â
your lips parted slightly in surpriseâno cocky comment, no flirtatious undertone. you told him your order, voice soft, and he nodded like it was the most important thing in the world, striding to the counter with ease. you watched him exchange a joke with the barista, his laugh echoing warmly through the small space. he really was effortlessly charming, you had to admit that.
you shyly bit your lip as you replayed the whole situation you were in right now. you had to tell your best friend yuki all about this later.
he returned with two drinksâyour regular iced latte and something caramel-colored for himselfâand two pastries. âdidnât know what you liked, so i got a cinnamon swirl. it looked like something a girl as cute as you might like,â he teased gently.
you smiled, biting back a laugh. âthanks a bunch, i like cinnamon.â
âsee?â he leaned back in his seat with a smug little grin, sipping his drink. âiâm good at this.â
it was awkward at first. you werenât sure where to lookâhis face, the window, the table?âbut he made it easier than youâd expected. he asked about your major, why you chose it. he didnât interrupt. he didnât make jokes at your expense. when you mentioned how much you liked microbiology, instead of zoning out, he asked, âthatâs the one with the cute little organisms, right? like, the blob guys?â
you giggled, making his cheeks flush slightly pink at the sound. âkind of, yeah.â
he grinned wide, pleased with himself for making you laugh. âyou like what you like. thatâs cool. most people donât talk about something and light up like you just did. i could get used to seeing that cute smile more often, yâ know.â
you felt your cheeks warm and looked down, hiding a smile behind your drink. you didnât know what you expected from this coffee dateâmaybe a few hollow compliments and an invite back to his placeâbut you didnât expect to feel... seen.
âiâm glad you came,â he said after a pause. his voice was a little quieter now, more honest.
you glanced up at him, unsure of what to say. so instead, you just nodded.
and for now, that felt like enough.
satoru and you spent the rest of what would of been your chemistry lecture talking about how much you loved being feminine, doing your make up and creating a dormitory that reflected fragile femininity to the tee. satorus smile never seemed to drop as he asked you question after question never seeming to get bored of your shy voice.
âso like, are you into james charles and stuff? heâs the only make up person i know.â
he said with a little laugh. you joined in, gigging to yourself.
ânot really, i donât go as heavy as him. i just like to⊠i donât know, make my face look abit cuter? does that make sense?â
you covered your mouth with the sleeve of your jacket as you looked up at him bashfully.
his face seemed to soften seeing you hide behind your sleeve, reaching over and pulling it down, causing you to let out a small noise of surprise.
âyou donât need to hide your pretty face from me. itâs too cute not to be seen, youâre obviously doing a good job if you look that adorable.â
after a pause you nodded your head, making a note to try and not touch your face out of nervousness as you usually did.
âyou know,â he finally said, tapping the table with one ringed finger, âi donât usually do this.â
you blinked. âdo what?â
âgo for coffee. with girls.â his tone was sincere, his brows lifting slightly as if he was the one feeling small. âusually itâs just⊠parties, hookups, and then nothing. but youâre⊠different.â
you bit your lip, unsure how to respond. âbecause i look innocent?â
satoru let out a soft laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. âno. because you are innocent. but not in a bad way. youâve got this whole thing about you that makes meââ he paused, chuckling at himself. ââmakes me wanna, like, put on a sweater and meet your parents or some shit.â
you couldnât help but laugh quietly, hiding your smile behind your cup. âyouâre weird.â
he grinned like heâd won the lottery. âyeah, but you smiled. thatâs a win.â
and for a moment, as the sun filtered through the oak leaves and warmed your cheeks, you let yourself wonderâmaybe, just maybe, this wasnât the start of a cruel bet or a frat boyâs usual game.
the minutes turned to hours and suddenly you had sat through a five hour conversation with satoru about his basketball, your course work, the hobbies you both had, and the friends you liked the most.
âmmm. if i had to pick, iâd say suguru is my best friend. do you know him?â
âah, suguru.â the hot guy in your ethics you have a small crush on, of course you knew him.
your face heated up as you turned your head to face or the window, stuttering for the first time in about four hours.
ây-yeah⊠i know him.â
satoru raised a brow at this. he wasnât sure why you were suddenly so nervous, he thought he had overcome your shy barrier a few hours ago?
he cleared his throat, continuing on. âso? i hear you guys are in ethics together. is that like, good?â
âis that like, good? seriously man? youâre sounding like a loser right now.â he thought to himself.
âi.. yeah.. itâs good⊠heâs really smart, and pretty. p-pretty good at the subject, i mean!â
âthat was a shit save, y/n.â you inwardly groaned. you could see satorus face slightly drop from his usual laid back grin.
satoruâs brow furrowed for a moment as he processed your sudden nervousness. it was subtle, but enough for him to catch it. he leaned back in his chair, studying your face, the way your eyes darted away from his and your hand fiddled with your jacket sleeve. something wasnât adding up.
he wasnât sure what was bothering you, but for the first time that afternoon, he felt a flicker of doubt. he had been so careful, so mindful of youâwhy were you suddenly pulling away?
âhuh, really?â he said slowly, his voice softening, as if giving you space to explain. âdidnât know suguru was your type.â
you could feel his gaze on you, like he was trying to piece together something he hadn't understood yet. his usual playful smirk was gone, replaced by an unreadable expression that made you feel a little... vulnerable.
âahhh, youâve got it wrong. heâs⊠just a good guy,â you mumbled shyly, hoping the topic would pass.
but satoru didnât let it slide. not this time. he was quiet for a few seconds, his fingers lightly tapping on the table. when he spoke again, his voice was quieter, more serious.
ây/n,â he began, his tone oddly gentle, âif youâre into him, thatâs cool. i just want you to know, though, that iâm not here to play games. not with you.â
you looked up at him, meeting his eyes for the first time in what felt like forever. there was something unspoken in the way he said it, something that made your heart race like you had done something wrong. god you messed up. youâve just had the most enjoyable time with satoru now he thinks youâre inlove with his best friend. yikes.
you were not one for confrontation, so you were getting nervous. you really didnât like suguru, you just thought he was pretty, how the hell were you going to save this⊠you sighed deeply, peering into his orbs.
âhey, i donât like him like that. i just think heâs a pretty guy⊠like you, youâre a pretty guy too.â
you bit your lip anxiously waiting for his reactionâŠ
satoru blinked a couple of times, clearly processing your words. the usual cocky grin was nowhere to be found as his gaze softened, something almost vulnerable flickering behind his bright blue eyes. he leaned forward slightly, his arms resting casually on the table, but his posture had changed. it was like he was giving you space, like he was trying to understand you more than just joking around.
"i... i get it," he said, his voice low and a little more serious than you'd heard all day. "it's just... iâve never really talked like this with any girl before, iâm not sure how this all works to be honest. and with suguru, i guess i was just making assumptions." he ran a hand through his white hair, looking out the window for a moment before turning back to you. "but, iâm glad to hear that. 'cause, you know, i really enjoy spending time with you. and i don't want you to feel like you have to explain yourself to me.â
you let out a breath you hadnât realized youâd been holding, feeling some of the tension melt away between the two of you. "youâre a silly guy, huh?"
he smirked, the familiar mischievous glint returning to his eyes. "yeah, i know. but iâm also a pretty straightforward guy. so just, uh, donât feel like you owe me any explanations, okay? youâre cool, y/n. like, really cool."
your heart skipped at the compliment, but you were still a bit nervous, unsure of how to react to his change in tone. still, you managed a small smile, feeling a little lighter.
ât-thanks satoru,â you said, your voice softer now.
he leaned back again, relaxing into his chair with that signature confident grin returning to his lips. âno problem, sweetheart. youâre way too cute for me to get all weird about things. just... donât go falling for suguru, okay?â he teased, his smile widening.
you rolled your eyes, feeling the nerves ease, though your cheeks were still a little flushed. âiâll try my best.â
"good," he said, winking at you. "because youâre already way ahead of the competition."
you shied into yourself at the flirty gesture, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
suddenly, satorus face dropped from his laid back casual expression to one of almost annoyance. you saw his eyes trailing at the entrance of the cafe to see a group of what looked to be frat guys walking out.
âyou uh.. okay?â you asked sweetly, watching him shift in his chair.
satoru didnât answer immediately. instead, he stood up abruptly, muttering, âstay here. iâll be right back.â his tone was sharper than usual, and you couldnât help but watch as he plastered on a grin, striding toward the group of guys with his usual charm. but this time, it seemed different. there was a bit too much of a show in his smile, a little too much forced energy in his greetings.
âlook who it is. howâs it, gojo?â one of the guys shouted, clapping satoru on the back. the others chimed in with loud greetings.
you watched from afar as he made conversation, subtly steering the group away from where you sat. after a while you saw them wrapping up.
âalright, alright, go on then. catch you later, gojo,â one of them said with a half-smile, walking away with the others. he slumped back into his chair with a sigh, glancing over his shoulder again to make sure they werenât coming back.
â⊠are you okay..?â you asked, your voice soft, a little quiet. you could see the tension still lingering in his eyes.
satoru ran a hand through his hair, looking anywhere but at you for a moment. âyeah, justââ he sighed again, his voice lowering. âyou know how it is. guys like them⊠they donât know when to quit.â
âquit?â you repeated, brow furrowed. you were trying to piece things together, but his mood had shifted so abruptly. âwhat do you mean?â
he looked at you finally, his expression softening a bit. âthey can be⊠fuckwits, to put it lightly. donât want them coming over here and making any fucked up comments or anything.â
you blinked, realization slowly dawning on you. âyou didnât want them bothering me?â
âyeah,â he said quietly, avoiding your gaze. âi mean, itâs one thing if theyâre messing around with me, but... you shouldnât have to deal with their shit.â
your heart fluttered a little at his words. satoru was trying to protect you, even if it meant dealing with his friendsâ annoying antics. it was... sweet. "thank you," you said softly, a small smile forming on your glossed lips.
he glanced at you, a slightly sheepish look on his face. âno problem. i just didnât want them to say anything messed up to you. thatâs all.â
âthatâs really kind of you satoru, very chivalrous,â you said, your voice teasing yet holding its own sense of shyness.
satoruâs smile returned, this time a little more genuine. âyeah, of course. donât know what youâd do without me.â
you raised an eyebrow playfully. âiâm sure iâd manage.â
ânah, iâm irreplaceable, girlie.â he grinned, his usual cocky charm back in full force.
you rolled your eyes, but the truth was, you were starting to like this side of himâthe side that wasnât always trying to show off. satoru may have been surrounded by chaos, but right now, in this quiet moment, he felt... real.
âwell, thank you,â you said, your smile softening. âfor looking out for me.â
âalways,â he replied, leaning back in his chair and looking at you with a glint of something softer behind his usual cocky grin.
your date with satoru revealed a lot about his character. he was a dork, a cute dork. he was charming, funny, hot as hell, but he was deeper than that. satoru had a layer to him you weâre sure only those close to him were allowed to see, and for the time you weâre together, he showed that side you you. deep down he was thoughtful, he was kind, observant.
he cared for people and how he was perceived. and most of all he made you feel like the only girl in the world on that date. not too flirty, but just enough to make your heart flutter with life, something you hadnât felt since you had broken up with sukuna about a year ago.
for a second, you wondered if maybe there was more to this guy than the image he liked to project, maybe heâd let you see it if you stayed around. maybe you needed to do just that.
chat my first start to a long fic on this app what do we think đđ
toji fushiguro is not a man of structure.
he sleeps when heâs tired, eats when heâs hungry, and doesnât bother with trivial things like routines or household organization. his apartment is livable, sure, but itâs clear he doesnât put much thought into itâclothes draped over furniture, dishes left in the sink, mail stacked haphazardly on the counter. he knows where everything is (more or less), but itâs not exactly functional.
then you move in.
and suddenly, there are little signs of change.
the first time he notices, itâs in the kitchenâhis mismatched, barely-there collection of plates and cups has doubled. your things now sit alongside his, an extra coffee mug on the counter, a set of utensils that actually match.
then, in the bathroomâyour toothbrush next to his, your skincare products cluttering the sink. it should annoy him, but it doesnât. if anything, he finds himself lingering there a little longer, just to see the proof that youâre here.
his bed, once a mess of tangled sheets he never bothered to fix, is suddenly made in the mornings. not neatly, not perfectly, but enough that it looks intentional. toji never cared before, but when you crawl into bed at night and sigh, all content and cozy, he thinks⊠maybe itâs nice.
itâs a slow shift, but he adjustsâwithout realizing it, without meaning to.
and then one day, you notice.
youâre standing in the entryway, slipping your shoes on, when something catches your eye. a small wooden tray by the door, something youâre sure wasnât there before.
and sitting inside itâyour keys, alongside his.
your breath catches.
toji, already halfway out the door, glances back. âyou cominâ?â
you donât answer right away, just staring at the little tray.
ââŠdid you put this here?â your voice is quiet.
he shrugs. âyou always lose your damn keys. figured thisâd help.â
your eyes burn.
toji sighs. âdonât start crying over a tray.â
but itâs not just the tray. itâs everythingâthe way he started putting his laundry in the hamper because you do, the way he doesnât leave dishes in the sink anymore because he knows youâll wash them if he does. the way he bought an extra blanket because you always get cold, the way he waits to eat if youâre not home yet.
you sniffle. âyou changed for me.â
he steps closer, tilting your chin up. âdidnât change, baby. justââ his thumb brushes your cheek. ââmade space.â
your lip wobbles. âfor me.â
he smirks. âwho else?â
and when you throw yourself at him, arms wrapped tight around his waist, toji just chuckles, pressing a kiss to the top of your head.
pick your player ft. cyberbully!Sukuna x f2p!Reader
cyberbully!Sukuna who absolutely loathes to admit it, but after just a couple weeks of coaching (which mostly consisted of him barking commands at you and explaining that you should actually, y'know, read the weapon descriptions before just pointing and clicking) you aren't half-bad anymore
cyberbully!Sukuna who hates it even more when he gets home from work to see your status as already in-game, making snide comments once he joins about you picking up bad habits from someone else while he's not around
cyberbully!Sukuna who feels a flicker of pride the first time your username slots neatly underneath his in second place, the notification flashing on the top of the screen for everyone to see when you manage to start a kill streak
cyberbully!Sukuna who relaxes back in his expensive gaming chair after the round ends, listening to your excited squeal over the voice call searching for praise, practically pleading for him to tell you what a good girl you were, pouting when all you got back was a low grunt of approval instead
cyberbully!Sukuna who thinks you must be lonely, considering how often you're online and in his messages, naive too since you gave him your number barely two weeks after he started helping you, claiming you actually liked talking to him
cyberbully!Sukuna who hasn't even seen your face yet but somehow knows the names of your pets, which coworker you can't stand and even your favorite flavor of ice cream, all because you never seem to shut up (although the silence without you had started to feel suffocating)
cyberbully!Sukuna who's seething when you headshot some prick in-game just for him to call you a cheater in the voice chat, a slut, spewing insult after insult that he'd never have the balls to say to anyone's face
cyberbully!Sukuna who barely manages to message you to mute him before he's opening the asshole's profile in a separate tab bookmarked to take care of later before opening the game back up, waiting outside of the other team's spawn to slaughter him again and again despite your soft protests in his ear that losers like him didn't bother you
cyberbully!Sukuna who doxes him after you fall asleep anyway
cyberbully!Sukuna who can't sleep, stuck listening to the quiet sound of your breathing through the phone, the call you forgot to hang up before dozing off, the quiet little murmurs of something unintelligible he can't make out (but he swears he hears his name in there)
cyberbully!Sukuna who is considering cutting his own dick off at the fleeting thought that it's cute you don't even shut up in your sleep, the tent in his sweatpants a traitor for straining against the band more with every little exhale from the other line
cyberbully!Sukuna who doesn't like you like that, can't like you like that, refuses to want you like that when he's never even met you - right?

⥠Imagine Nanami cradling his newborn daughter tenderly. His blonde locks that were once neatly slicked back now messily frame his face- serving as playthings for tiny, curious hands. The infant giggles, gripping and curling her fingers, attempting to grab at her fatherâs hair with pure delight. Nanamiâs heart swelled, a genuine smile appearing across his face.
âYa know⊠Fatherhood really suits you, you know that?â You murmured, resting your head against his arm.
Nanami looked down at you, his eyes- always so tired from the cruelties of the world and working far too much, were now soft with affection, âI never thought I would have a life like this⊠I always felt it was far out of my reachâŠâ
âKentoâŠâ
He brought his daughter up to his face, his lips pressing a kiss to her forehead. His voice was a low whisper, yet you still managed to hear his words, âI love you. Both of you. More than anything in the world.â
You could see it, not only in his smile, but his eyes as well⊠they held some fear. Afraid of the life he led, afraid of it coming to take the family he had so lovingly built away from him. Nanami had seen much in his time as a sorcerer. The loss of people dear to him- their deaths never failing to haunt him⊠He was scared⊠Scared of leaving you both behind, scared of the what-ifsâŠ
âKento, you worry far too much. I promise we'll be here, right by your side. Always and forever, okay? Youâre always going to awaken to me in your strong arms.â You give his bicep a soft squeeze, âno way anyone could get past these bad boys.â
A low chuckle rumbled in his throat, holding his baby girl in one arm, he used the one you squeezed to bring you into a loving embrace, drawing you even closer to his body. Drawing you closer into his world, a world he once thought would be forever in solitude. This was all a simple moment, but Nanami felt the full weight of this newfound joy- the joy of being a father and a loving husband to you. Nothing could've prepared him for this profound privilege.
You were his home. And for the first time, he allowed himself to relax and trust in your words⊠that everything would be alright...
Nicole Piastri strikes again
