Leaving the backyard of school you decided to just go back to your apartment as your mood was spoiled enough by the interaction with Satoru earlier. You were about to leave the school but stopped noticing Suguru, who was pacing back and forth near the gate. "Hey!?" You waved your hand in front of his face as he seemed preoccupied with his thoughts.

"Oh! Hello, sorry I was just lost in my thoughts" he explained as he was about to speak again but got interrupted by Principal Yaga "Y/n, your room is ready and from now you'll be staying in here until you're in Tokyo" he didn't sound like he was asking, he straight up declared it.

"There's no need for her to stay, I'm already enough to protect the school when I'm here." Another person interrupted and it was none other than Satoru Gojo. "I don't think we need her here, I mean you can just call her when it's needed". You could feel yourself fuming as you countered back "Oh really!? I wasn't really planning on staying here initially but You know what ? If me staying here bothers you then I'll for sure stay here !".

"Both of you stop being immature! This isn't the place and situation to be petty and hold grudges against each other. No matter what your personal issues are, keep it personal no need to bring it in here. And I said ,  "Y/n you're staying here"and Satoru, if you have any problem then deal with it yourself, my decision is clear" with that Principal Yaga left, leaving you , Satoru and Suguru .

Following Principal Yaga Satoru left too, making sure to scoff before leaving. "Y/n , I don't think you should take him that seriously, you know that he's dumb right?!" Geto tried to comfort you thinking that you might be upset. "Don't worry, I'm not upset and about taking him seriously then his opinion is irrelevant as fuck and I don't care what he thinks" Geto was surprised by how unbothered you were but was glad anyways.

Stepping inside the room you sighed, it was the same room you used to live in with Shoko 8 years ago. The wooden flooring was making a creaking noise every time you stepped as it had become old. The room was completely empty and felt suffocating, you slided the window with a little force as the track had caught rust but the moment you opened the window a gust of wind blew across the room.

With the room all the memories also came back. 8 years ago you left Tokyo and Jujutsu High school and shifted to Osaka. You used to be one of the strongest sorcerers among the other first grade and special grade sorcerers, you had massive cursed energy which became a reason for you to train harder than others so you could control the cursed energy and use it as per your will.

In this whole time You, Shoko, Geto, Gojo were students in jujutsu high and although you had to train hard it used to be so fun and even back in the days you and Gojo never got along. You both were really powerful and were quite a mirror image of each other but still could never put up with one another. The main reason why you couldn't get along with him was the rivalry of who's better and more powerful.

Although you guys didn't get along but still you guys did care about each other secretly and trusted each other until one day. It was the day when the jujutsu high school exchange event was taking place and you both were exorcising a grade 1 curse and back in the days both of you weren't as strong as you are now.

The curse had a blood manipulation technique and was about to be used against Gojo and you were able to predict it. You decided to use your technique and in a split second the curse was blown up as the it's blood scattered. You were about to check up on him but before you could he angrily left.

He misunderstood your intention and thought that you did to show that you were better than him but although it wasn't true. After this exchange event you were appreciated by the higher ups and were transferred to Osaka as at that time curses were causing destruction there. All of these made Gojo more sour thinking that his opportunity was snatched and he made it obvious by his rude behaviour towards you.

Although years have passed you still believe that it's the same reason for Gojo being an a**hole to you without letting you have a chance to explain.

Satoru Pov:

I walked inside my room and plopped on my bed trying to cool my mind. I couldn't help but think about Y/n being back although it shouldn't bother me but still somehow it's bothering me. And I'm not sure why I said that she shouldn't live here knowing damn well that she'll do the opposite of what I want. All of my thoughts were giving me a headache and out of the blue I heard a little knock on the door and I knew who it was.

"How many times do I have to tell you to not knock and just come in?!" I shouted as Suguru peaked inside with a sheepish grin plastered on his face and walked in. "What do you want now?" I asked annoyed just to be met with his signature smirk and eyebrow raise. I knew he was up to something and it was going to be damn irritating.

"I don't want anything to be honest but it seems like you wanted something, Someone to be precise…" He smirked looking down at me as I was laying on my bed "gtf out of here if you don't have anything to do" he just snorted and started laughing. "Tf is wrong with you?!" The dude was unbelievable and was making me more mad.

"Okay okay sorry about that!! I just came here to ask you, why do you pretend to hate Y/n ? When you care about her so much." "Wtf eww no!! I don't give a fuck about her" I tried defending myself but knew it was of no use infront of Geto. "Oh please! Bold of you to assume you'd be able to fool me" Geto chuckled and continued. "You knew what you were doing when you provoked Y/n, you knew she'd do the exact opposite of what you wanted and still decided to provoke her. Stop lying to yourself that you hate her, you don't and won't be able to, so just accept it." With that Geto left the room leaving me alone with my mind clouded with thoughts.

It would be a lie if I say I don't care about her and maybe it's true that I wanted her to stay here that's why I provoked her but it's not like I like her either. It's just that I still feel a bit guilty for being a jerk to her in the past whilst her only intention was to protect me. Even though she and I never got along she always had my back and would always help me out whenever I was in trouble.

I should probably stop thinking so much it was in the past and it doesn't seem like she's much affected by it either. I think I should just hang out with the students. It'll help me get distracted for a while.

Pov end

Sprinting towards the ground to meet his students and annoy them, Satoru was surprised to witness Y/n hanging out with the students which was really unlikely of her. He decided to approach them but the boy was deadass  brutally ignored by the first years as they looked least interested in him and more interested in Y/n.

"Heyyyy!!! You guys are traitors ! How can you just ignore me??" Gojo whined just to be shot with a glare by Megumi. Realising that the kids were more into you than him he just decided to 3rd wheel you and the kids.

While you paid all your attention to the kids and the kids to you Gojo was busy staring at you the whole time. There was this different vibe with you and he couldn't pinpoint what it was. It was very unusual of you to listen to others since as far as he remembers you were the type to blabber and the other person had to listen but looking at you right now you seemed way more calmer and mature!?.

You were letting the kids speak and listening to them calmly and carefully paying all your attention to them. It'd be a lie if he said he wasn't enjoying what he was witnessing. It looked like the kids were telling their mother school stories after returning from school and the mother pretending to believe it. It was pretty much obvious that the students grew fond of quite earlier than expected, especially Nobara who had her arms linked with yours this whole time and Yuji who babbled nonsense with visible amusement in his eyes.

The most unexpected one was Megumi, he was smiling and being all giddy and it was genuine. For some weird reason Gojo felt strangely warm with you being around the kids.

( I know the story seems really boring but I really want to build their whole relationship slowly and want to make it as real as possible so I'm hoping y'all will still be a part of the journey<3)
