Geto’s POV
-----------------------------
“ Are you Satoru Gojo because you're the strongest, or are you the strongest because you’re Satoru Gojo? “
That’s the question that remained in Satoru Gojo’s mind for the past 10 years, and that’s what he continued to wonder when he finally saw Suguru Geto again.
They were sitting in the Jujutsu High school holding chamber. Suguru Geto was sitting slouched tied up in a chair, despite Gojo knowing Geto would never hurt him, he still had some uncertainty and even decided to have infinity up around Geto, something he hadn’t even considered since they first met. Satoru Gojo was sitting across from him looking at the ground, not yet wanting to see the man across from him. He sensed through his six eyes that Geto was staring at him.
“ They want you executed, you know, “ Gojo said as he began to take off his blindfold. It had been a gift from Geto, though now it was more worn down. His six eyes had been giving him more and more headaches and the sunglasses he used to wear were slowly becoming ineffective, Geto had begun to notice and bought him a blindfold. That is just the person he was; kind, thoughtful, and giving. That was why to this day he can’t believe that his best friend would do what he did all those years ago.
Geto sat slouched staring at the man in front of him, Gojo hadn’t changed much. His hair was a bit different, he now had an undercut, but otherwise he was still the tall, slim, carefree man from years ago. Geto knew Gojo had still been keeping tabs on him. Yet he never expected to be held captive by him. He comes back to reality and looks away from Gojo, not ready to meet his eyes.
“ I know, “ Geto replies with little to no emotion. Gojo finally removes the blindfold and looks at Geto with his piercing cerulean eyes. Geto looks rough, his long black hair cascading over his face. His violet eyes that were once so vibrant now look dull and melancholy. “ I’m not going to let them, Suguru, “ Gojo added with a slight hesitation to his voice. “ I made a deal with the higher ups, they won't kill you if you agree to become a sorcerer again. “
“ Hell no, “ Geto exclaimed “ Are you fucking insane, Satoru? You know why I left, my beliefs and what I have done- “
Gojo frowned. “ -But you would live, and your family would live. “
Geto’s eyes widened at the mention of his family, his eyes finally meeting Gojo’s “ My family..where are they? “ Geto asks firmly with an underlying tone of worry in his voice.
“ They are safe, but I cannot promise their safety forever if you do not accept. So with that information, do you accept my offer? “ Gojo proclaimed.
“ I accept..with one condition, “ Geto murmured, sounding irritated.
Gojo raised an eyebrow. “ Oh..? In my humble opinion I don't believe you are in a position to ask for conditions, but since I'm such a nice person I will hear it out, “ Gojo remarked
“ Make sure my family is safe, “ Geto expressed, his eyes softening.
“ Of course, “ Gojo said gently, his lips beginning to form a small smile. “ Now why don’t we get you to your room so you can get all fixed up..you look dingy.. “ Gojo said, looking up and down at Geto. Geto made an offended scoff and watched as Gojo began to stand; stretching his long limbs after sitting for a while. He turns to Geto who is still tied up. “ Need some help? “ Gojo snickers as he looks at Geto.
Geto sighs. “ Yes, I need some help.. ” Gojo walks over and unties him. Geto rubs his wrist trying to get his circulation back after having those ropes on a little too tight. He stares at Gojo, he had put his blindfold back on and was looking at Geto.
“ Now a few small details I forgot to add “ Gojo smiled meekly at Geto “ For the first few months of you being here…you are not exactly allowed to leave Jujutsu High grounds… “
Geto stares at Gojo for a moment before he speaks “ Huh..? How am I supposed to be a sorcerer and do missions if I can’t leave? “ he says in a confused tone.
“ So, funny thing… for the time being you're going to be my teacher's aid!! Since I am very busy a lot of the time I do need some help teaching my students, and I assume you remember what you learned your first year of Jujutsu high, “ Gojo explained.
“ You’re kidding right? “ Geto said, looking dumbfounded.
“ Nope! “ Gojo smiled.
Geto sighed. “ Do I have to? “
“ I mean not necessarily… it's not a requirement but I thought you would like to do something rather than sit around for a few months…“ Gojo said, frowning.
“ I think I would rather sit around for a few months, “ Geto said blankly.
“ Whatever you say… my offer still stands “ Gojo says as he finally starts walking towards the exit with Geto following shortly.
As they walk through the hallways at Jujutsu High Geto can't help but feel the wave of nostalgia as he remembers everything from before. He never hated anyone at Jujutsu High ( The higher ups maybe ) but all the sorcerers and students were okay, he just didn't want to see them die protecting those monkeys.
“ ...Anddddd we are here “ Geto snaps back to reality at the sound of Gojo’s voice. He watches as Gojo stops at a door “ This is where you will be staying! It's very similar to the student dorms but a little bigger, I stay in the one at the end of the hall. If you need anything I’ll be near “ Gojo smiles and begins to walk towards the direction of his room.
“ Satoru… Wait “ He reaches to touch Gojo, only to be stopped by a sort of slight barrier. He feels his throat tighten a bit.
Gojo turns around looking directly at Geto “ Hm? Do you need something Suguru? “ he asked, a bit confused.
“ Uhm..never mind, I forgot what I was gonna say.. “ Geto said, looking away from Gojo. He wasn't exactly lying, he really did forget what he wanted to say, mainly because his head was full of the thought of Gojo using infinity around him.
“ Whatever you say.. Anyways I had a long day, if you remember what you were gonna say, I'll be down the hall, okay? “ With that Gojo headed back to his room.
Geto heads into the room in front of him, It was exactly how Gojo described it - almost exactly like the student dorms. It had a small kitchen area, it had a bed in the corner with the standard school bed set, but instead of having to share the bathing quarters he had his own personal bathroom. “ Perfect, “ Geto said aloud as he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Geto steps out of the shower and realizes he doesn't have clothes here yet he panics for a second and then realizes the closet in the corner… and oddly enough it was full of clothes. He walks closer and then he sees a note :
---------------------------------------
Suguru,
If you’re reading this that means you took up the deal!! Woohoo!!
I hope everything fits, I remember you liked your clothes baggy
So I picked out some clothes I hoped you would like now. Im glad
You’re here again and I also stocked you up on food I remember
You don't have much of a sweet tooth..so I didn't get you many sweets
If that changed though I have plenty! I hope you adjust well. I'm
here if you need anything.
- Satoru

Geto smiled softly. Even though Gojo has always been an egotistical asshole, he still had his moments where he was soft, and it's those moments that had always made Geto feel the butterflies in his stomach ache even more than they already had been. Geto folds the note then heads to the bedside table and slips the note in the drawer. He then flops on his bed not even getting under the covers before drifting into a deep sleep.
