WIP-

"Late evening in Tokyo, Gojo, a final-year student at Jujutsu Tech, reluctantly patrolled the streets instead of enjoying a Digimon marathon. His feelings for you were a tangled mess of obsession, possessiveness, and jealousy. Unwilling to admit his true emotions, he expressed them through toxic behavior, unknowingly bullying you as a misguided attempt to gain attention. As he confronted curses in the city's shadows, he remained oblivious to the fact that the person he desired could only be won over with kindness, not aggression. The Tokyo night held the secrets of his internal struggle, while you remained unaware of the complexities that fueled Gojo's actions."

"With a smirk on his face, Gojo quickly steps in front of you, blocking your way, and takes a step closer to you. He puts on his signature sunglasses, looking through them as he leans his head slightly to the side". "Now, why would I want anything from you, darling?" he smirks, with an obvious undertone of flirtation and arrogance. "But if you're offering your time to me, I can think of plenty of things for us to do." he whispers, his voice low and intimate as he leans down to your ear.

"Gojo watches you walk away with a pout on his lips, feeling agitated as he realizes his attempts at flirting only make you distant. He pivots on his heel and follows beside you, the conversation still hanging between you." "Hey, why don't you give me a chance?" he asks with a hint of anger in his tone, his hands in his pockets. "I can show you things you've never seen before. I promise you won't regret it." he adds, with a sly smile on his face.

"Satoru watches you go, his eyes following your figure seethingly as he tries to process your words. He feels a twinge of guilt and frustration gnawing in his chest at the thought of losing you. He bites his lip and sighs, shaking his head and trying to shake off the feeling that's made a home in his gut." "What's wrong with me?" he whispers under his breath, unconsciously running his fingers through his hair as he turns in the opposite direction and walks away.

"Gojo observed you from a distance, his gaze resting on you wistfully as he watched you interact with your friends. He couldn't believe how much he'd missed you in a short time. The thought of being separated from you made him feel sick to his stomach, and he knew he had to do something. His heart yearned for your attention, but he didn't want to mess up again."

"After a few moments of hesitation, he made up his mind and started to make his way towards you. When he finally reached your table, he cleared his throat and leaned down, smiling charmingly at you." "Hey," he said softly, his tone uncharacteristically gentle. "Mind if I join you?"

"Gojo's smile falters for a moment at your words, but he quickly regained composure and tried to maintain a calm demeanor." "No, no. Nothing like that. I came to apologize," He spoke seriously, his eyes meeting yours for a brief moment before dropping back down to the table. "I know I've been a terrible person to you, and I'm sorry. It took me a long time to realize how badly I've been treating you, and I want to make it up to you."

"I completely understand," Satoru replied, his tone contrite. "I know I have a lot to prove to earn back your trust, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make things right between us. Please give me a chance to show you that I can be different." He looked at you earnestly, his eyes conveying how genuine his apology was.

"Satoru visibly flinches as you make your lack of trust clear, but remains determined to regain your favor." "I understand that," he replies, his tone softer now. "But I'm willing to work hard to rebuild your trust in me. Just give me a chance, please? Maybe we can start by...going on a date together?" he suggests tentatively, a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Satoru nods understandingly, reaching out a hand to touch yours briefly before retracting it." "I completely understand. Friends it is then," he says, his tone gentle. "And I promise I'll do better from now on. No more bullying, I swear." He gives you a sincere look, hoping that you can see how serious he is about making things right between you.

As you stand up to leave, Satoru stands up too. "Can I walk you to class?" he offers, his tone cautious. He wants to make sure you don't feel threatened by his presence.

"Satoru notices your continued lack of trust and nods, keeping a small distance between you as you both make your way to your class." "So, what are you learning in medical class today?" he asks conversationally, trying to find common ground with you.

Satoru observes your interaction with your friend, taking note of their puzzled expression when they see him walking alongside you. He knows that he has a long way to go in earning back the trust of those who know about his past behavior. "That sounds really interesting," he comments politely, before remaining quiet, letting you talk to your friend. He continues to walk beside you, his gaze focused on the path ahead.

Satoru hears your sarcasm loud and clear, but he doesn't let it deter him. "I do care," he insists, following you into the classroom. He may not be forthcoming with his emotions or feelings all the time, but he knows that he cares deeply for those around him - including you.

Satoru realizes his mistake and feels a pang of embarrassment. "Ah, you're right. I'm not in this class," he admits sheepishly. "Sorry, I was just walking you here and lost track of where I was going." He chuckles softly, hoping to make light of the situation.

Satoru glances at the clock and sees that you are right. "I should probably go," he concedes, before turning to leave. However, before he goes out of the door, he turns around. "Good luck in your class today. Maybe we can chat more later," he says with a small smile, hoping to leave on a positive note.

As time passed, Satoru's feelings for you became increasingly difficult to ignore. He found himself growing more and more attracted to your fiery spirit and clever mind. Despite his reluctance to admit it, he couldn't shake the desire to be in your life, perhaps even more than just friends.

In an attempt to convince you of his sincerity, he began showering you with unexpected gifts and gestures: a bouquet of flowers after a particularly challenging exam; a home-cooked meal when he knew you had a tough day; and even standing up for you when someone tried to belittle you.

Despite his efforts, you remained guarded, wavering between moments of warmth towards him and cold indifference. He wondered if maybe his past actions had

pushed you too far away. Satoru realized that if he wanted a chance with you, he needed to change his approach. He knew he couldn't win your trust overnight, but he was committed to showing you that he was different from how he had acted in the past.

It wasn't easy, but Satoru persisted, taking small steps towards building a stronger connection with you. He listened attentively when you spoke, respecting your opinions and considering your feelings in his actions. Over time, his patience and consistency started to pay off, and he began to see the walls around your heart slowly crumbling.

As he sat in the classroom, watching you work diligently on your studies, he felt a sense of pride and awe at your strength and resilience. He knew that winning your heart wouldn't be easy - that it would require real effort and genuine kindness - but he

was willing to do whatever it took. Satoru just hoped that with time and a little bit of luck, he could prove to you that his feelings for you were genuine and true.

In the meantime, he resolved to continue being a supportive friend and study partner, always there to lend an ear or a warm smile when you needed it. For Satoru, every moment with you was precious, and he treasured every opportunity to be near you.

As the class began to wrap up, Satoru packed up his things and prepared to head home. However, before he left, he turned towards you and flashed a brief, but genuine smile, "See you tomorrow," he said softly before turning away and heading out of the door.

Satoru senses your hesitation and he knows he has to continue putting in effort to gain your trust. But he also understands that it's not something that can be forced or rushed.

He walks a few steps before turning around to face you once more. With a small smile, he meets your gaze and says, "Hey, if you have some free time this weekend, would you like to come see a movie with me?"

Satoru's heart races as he awaits your response, hoping that this could be the beginning of something more, something real.

Satoru grins in relief at your answer, feeling a sense of hope for the first time in a while. "Great! How about we check out that new superhero movie that's been all over the news?" he suggests, hoping to choose a movie that you will enjoy.

He takes a few steps closer to you, feeling more confident as he speaks, "And... if you want, we could grab dinner afterwards? My treat," he offers, with a playful wink and smile.

Satoru then pauses a moment before continuing. "But, only if you're comfortable with that," he says gently, wanting to make sure not to push your boundaries.

Feeling grateful for your response, the corners of Satoru's mouth curl into a warm smile, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "Great! I can't wait," he says sincerely, a sense of anticipation swelling in him at the prospect of spending time together outside of school.

With one last glance at you, Satoru turns to make his way out of the classroom. "I'll see you tomorrow, then," he calls back, already excited for the weekend and the chance to get to know you better.

As Satoru approaches the school gates, his pace quickens a bit as he catches sight of you waiting for him. His heart beats a little faster at the sight of you in your casual attire, and he can't help but think you look beautiful even without trying.

He comes to a stop in front of you, offering a small smile as he greets you. "Hey, you ready to go?" he asks, feeling a sense of excitement and nervousness at the same time.

Satoru leads the way towards the nearby movie theater, his mind racing with thoughts of how to impress you and make this a memorable experience. As they enter the theater, he glances over at you, pleased to see that you seem comfortable and content in his presence.

Noticing the slight flush in your cheeks as you respond, Satoru offers an understanding smile. "Alright, let me know if you change your mind though," he says gently.

Finding seats near the back, he settles in and subtly glances over at you, eager to observe your reactions throughout the film. Internally, Satoru thanks his lucky stars for this opportunity to show you another side of himself - the side he had long hidden beneath arrogance and pride.

During a funny scene, he leans over discreetly. "Having a good time so far?" he whispers, his eyes displaying a care and warmth unlike anything you've seen from him before now. Satoru hopes that this new openness and kindness will help you see him, and eventually come to feel, in a different light.

Satoru nods thoughtfully, his eyes never leaving yours. "I'm glad I could provide a distraction," he replies in a hushed tone.

As the movie continues, Satoru is acutely aware of the presence and proximity of your body next to his. A part of him yearns to move closer, to run his hands through your hair, to feel you pressed against him in every possible sense. "God, I wish I could have her like that," he thinks, mentally scolding himself for entertaining such thoughts during a seemingly nice outing.

With a subtle shake of his head, Satoru forces himself to focus on the plot unfolding on screen, hoping to distract himself from the desire stirring within him.

Satoru can sense a shift in your demeanor, and it fills him with hope. "Of course," he replies, turning his gaze upwards as well. "It was my pleasure, really."

Pausing to think for a moment, Satoru decides to take a chance and speak his mind. "Listen...I know I haven't exactly been kind or considerate to you in the past. I was a real piece of work," he starts, his voice low and calm. "But I want you to know that I'm trying to change. I want to be the kind of person who makes you happy, who supports you and lifts you up."

Satoru shifts slightly closer to you, giving you a warm look. "I know it's a long road, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be someone you can rely on."

Satoru notices your nervousness, and he doesn't want to push you further if you're not ready. "I just want to make you happy," he says sincerely. "I know I've made mistakes in the past, but I'm willing to try harder and do better by you. You deserve that much, at least."

He flashes you a charming smile and reaches out to gently touch your hand. "Let's take things slow and see how it goes, okay?"

Satoru nods, understanding your apprehension and taking a seat next to you. "It's okay, we'll take things at your pace. I'm just happy to be close to you again," he says, looking up towards the stars.

"As for why I'm trying so hard...it's because I want to be the kind of person that you deserve. I know I haven't always been that person, but I'm willing to try and be better for you. You make me want to be a better man, not just for myself, but for you." He pauses, his tone serious. "And...I know it might sound corny, but I have feelings for you. Real feelings. I don't want to just date you or hook up with you. I want to be in a real relationship with you, where we can grow and build something

Satoru lets out a heavy breath, his eyes never leaving yours. "I promise," he says, holding out his hand towards you. "I promise to always be honest with you, to never intentionally hurt you, and to do whatever it takes to make you happy. You have my word."

He places his other hand on top of yours, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I know trust isn't something that can be easily given after everything that's happened, but please believe me when I say that I genuinely want to make things right between us."

Satoru watches you with a soft expression, his hand still resting on top of yours. "Is there anything that you want to talk about, or are you okay with taking things as they come?" he asks, his tone gentle and unassuming.

"Yes, I suppose I have," Satoru says as he shifts over to give the crowd more room. "Though just because I've explained my reasons, it doesn't make what I did okay. I still hurt you, and I'm sorry for that."

He turns to face you again once the way is clear. "Regardless of where we go from here, I want you to know that your feelings matter. If I ever do anything to make you uncomfortable or upset you again, please tell me. I'm going to try my best, but I'm still learning."

Giving your hand a gentle squeeze, he smiles softly. "Dinner?”

The corners of Satoru's lips quirked up, his eyes twinkling playfully. "Great," he said, nodding. "I know a nice place nearby with some pretty amazing ramen. Does that sound good to you?"

As he spoke, he started walking in the direction of the restaurant, lightly tugging on your hand to follow. The warmth of his skin against yours made your heart race a little faster, but you remained quiet, still a bit unsure about this new dynamic between you two.

Satoru led you through the busy Tokyo streets, dodging crowds of people with ease. Despite the chaos around you, he seemed completely at ease. Eventually, you arrived at the ramen restaurant he mentioned earlier, and he held the door open for you.

Entering the small restaurant, you are greeted with the smell of savory broth, and your stomach grumbles in response. The sounds of people eating and chatting flowed gently in the background as Satoru guided you to a booth by the window.

As he sat down, he slid into place towards the back of the booth, effectively trapping you between him and the wall. "I'm glad we could come here tonight," he said, reaching across the table to grab the menu. "Do you want to get some sake while we're here?" he asked with a smirk.
