Satoru was afraid of making a move, at least he tipped you over the edge and made you bolt; he didn’t want that. Swallowing hard he looked into your eyes… God… he had missed your beautiful E/C eyes so much. Waking up every morning without you by his side, without you kissing him awake cause he was going to be late for work… again. Your absence had left a literal infinite void in his heart that he was unable to fill.

“I know I don’t deserve anything from you Y/N, but I love you and I cannot give up on us… We said forever when we got married. And I want that… with you” speaking from the heart was not something Satoru ever did. He always preferred to cover any emotions with inappropriate jokes and double entendres. But he knew he couldn’t play his stupid games, not with you and most certainly not now.
You pulled away at that moment as if his touch was burning you. He allowed it, doing his utmost effort not to pull you back in. His hands itched resting at his sides, missing the warmth of your body.

It was you and me, it seemed to last forever
The way you taste and I still remember… the sounds we made.

“It would have been nice if you felt that way before you decided to ruin this marriage. Where were those promises of forever when you fucked that whore?” You asked piercing his eyes with yours. He cowered under your glare. Satoru had never been on the receiving end of your wrath and now he understood why most people chose (wisely) to not mess with you. Every single one of your words was chosen carefully to cause the most damage. At the same time… what hurt the most was that you were right.

“Leave and don’t ever come back… you and I… are through…” Satoru noticed how you avoided calling him by his name, he hated it. As if uttering his name would leave a bad taste in your mouth “Y/N…” he whispered pleadingly when you took another step away. But this time he didn’t have the courage to stop you as you disappeared inside your apartment and locked the door behind you.

I bet you wish you had me back! Another chance to gain it, just like that. The best you ever had.

The next morning Suguru’s plane landed. JFK international airport was as busy and chaotic as one would expect. After collecting his luggage he made his way to a cab giving the driver your current address.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiHdUCJtxT
He hadn’t been able to sleep a wink during the trip, his mind swarmed with all the possibilities of what could be happening right now. Satoru didn’t play fair and of course… you loved (probably still love) the lucky bastard.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1rsO2eBVa
With a sigh, he decided to focus instead on the city going by through the cab’s windows. It wasn’t the first time he was in New York and his mind was much more occupied torturing him instead of appreciating the landscape.

After 40 minutes, Geto stood before a very nice and modern building located in the upper east side called Hawthorn Park. You sure knew how to live in luxury. He approached the doorman and let him know his name and that he was here to see Miss Ekaterina Petrova to which the kind-looking old man responded by using his intercom to contact you. Geto was soon granted access and guided to the elevator.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyAF6ZigYX
The elevator doors opened on the 21st floor, he walked to the door of your apartment which was already open and you were waiting for him. His smile fell once he noticed you have been crying “oh Kitten” dropping his luggage on the spot he surrounded your body in his arms “I’m so sorry…” one didn’t need to be a genius to know Satoru had found you.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnq97Ztxr7
You both moved inside your apartment. Settling on the spacious couch you buried your face on Suguru’s lap as you cried. He stroked your now darker strands of h/c hair without a word exchanged. He knew you needed to let it all out. After what seemed an eternity you sat back up. Suguru gently dried your eyes.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mnOgEASi8
“He was here last night…” you whispered in a raw and scratchy voice, the result of your endless hours of distress before his arrival, “he told me he loved me, that he left Sookie” scoff “and hear this… he left her because the baby wasn’t his!” Talk about karma at its best. Suguru already knew that but he was surprised to hear Satoru had come clean about it to you “He probably thought I would fall for that! But I didn’t” you added firmly.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0IUge6aG0
Suguru was proud of you. He knew how hard it was for you to resist Satoru but you stood tall and proud when it mattered the most. “What do you want to do now?” Where are you going to move to again?

“I’m not leaving…” you said looking into Suguru’s liquid amber gaze. You couldn’t help but notice once again he had such pretty eyes, like a cat. You’ve always liked them, especially when they looked at you with such tenderness. You have missed him dearly during all this time.
“I can’t keep running away from him; I mean… it’s obvious he won’t stop and I… I am tired of molding my life to adapt to his whims. I’m staying here whatever happens. Sugu… I got the part for the Swan Lake!” You added remembering you haven’t talked to him during the last week and so he didn’t know about your latest accomplishment.
Geto’s eyes enlarged before a huge smile split his handsome face and his massive frame engulfed you in a tight hug. Of course, he knew everything about ballet, he was your best friend after all. This was huge! Probably as big as making it in the ballet world meant “I’m so proud of you Kitten!” He said excitedly kissing your temple. Maybe not everything was as bad as he thought.
You were upset, it was true. But then again you were not prepared last night. Satoru had taken you by surprise. Now… you knew he was here and more or less knew what to expect from your soon-to-be ex-husband.
“Thank you, Sugu…” you stopped and pulled back just slightly to look into his eyes from your height. He was a very tall man compared to you “I missed you” you said with a bright smile to which Geto replied with one of his own before pulling you in again for another hug “I missed you too, Kitten” stroking your back softly Suguru decided he was happy to be here… with you.

She’s given up, been holding on for way too long
She’s had enough
He’s coming home again
But it’s too late ‘cause she won’t stay with him

The sunshine hitting his face was what woke him up. With a grunt, Satoru rolled over on his side only to fall unceremoniously from the couch where he had passed out last night. The last thing he remembered was warping back to his hotel after you left him on the roof. The memory of you, turning your back on him and walking away squeezed his heart in a painful grasp.

Alcohol was never something he was attracted to, he liked to keep his brain constantly alert and stimulated. It served a purpose, of course, it kept his infinity barrier on at all times, even when he was asleep. But last night he hit rock bottom. He didn’t care anymore…
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP83SPzdqT
As soon as he got back to the hotel, hopelessness made a home in his chest, sitting heavy on his heart. Walking to the fully stocked bar placed on the corner of his suite he opened a bottle of whiskey. He started slow since most everything was too bitter for his taste, so he went through the process of trying every single bottle until he found something to his liking.
After two hours and about fifteen different shots of everything, he decided to settle for a bottle of Amaretto, some fancy Italian liquor made of apricot kernels. It was sweet.
Everything else after that was blurred. Moving his sore body from the floor he forced himself to go to the bathroom. Maybe a hot shower would help ease his misery. Peeling off his clothes the smell of booze clinging on them made Gojo cringe. He decided to brush his teeth before showering. Looking in the mirror he couldn’t recognize the man starring back at him. He was a mess.

Are we just ghosts out in the night?
Are we just waiting for a light that doesn’t shine?
Are we just faking or is this real?
’Cause I don’t know how to feel
Are we just ghosts now, you and I?

Last night he had been so desperate, so hopeless, and broken-hearted. That’s when it hit him… his wife didn’t hurt him, she didn’t cheat on him (unlike himself), she didn’t do anything to him, and yet he was feeling as if the world was collapsing around him. He lied, cheated, and fucked up everything for them both.
Guilt…
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMXimCtB4u
Unadulterated, burning, and suffocating guilt was consuming him. He felt bad before but it wasn’t until last night that he grasped the concept that Y/N didn’t owe him anything at all and that HE didn’t deserve it anyway.
The plan originally had been to get back in your good graces by doing penitence, submitting to your every whim and desire by becoming your devoted slave for as long as you would have it. He never even considered the possibility that his wife DID NOT WANT to forgive him in the first place.
He thought you left to give him a lesson, that you would eventually come back to him after he had a taste of what it was like to lose you.
But even after you both shared such a searing kiss, so passionate that every cell in his body was humming, aflame with desire you still managed to walk away from him as if it meant nothing to you.
What good did it do to him to be the strongest when he couldn’t even protect his wife… from himself.
After showering, changing clothes, and ordering every sweet pastry and dessert from the room service menu Gojo stopped to rethink his strategy.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ094Wfm5ueP
What?…
Did you think he was going to stop there?
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQZHGeNzEf
Absolutely no, love!
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PQj20GfmJ
If anything, your rejection had only fueled his need to get you back.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2ghNdd8EO
“Time for plan B” sighing he pulled out his phone it rang a couple of times before someone answered “good morning Mrs. Mazzo, this is Gojo Satoru. I’m going to need you to forward to me Miss Petrova’s rehearsal schedule…”

“This is really good!” You hummed happily after swallowing a bite of your steak. Suguru sat across from you at Keens Steakhouse, with a grin he watched as you indulged yourself in what you called your ‘cheat meal’ of the month. Being a professional ballerina was a tough and demanding commitment that controlled every aspect of your life, from how you train to what you eat. Despite it all, Geto knew you always found a happy balance that worked just fine for you.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb7SxD89GB
Seeing your big smile made his heart jump in his chest, you were as beautiful and alluring as the day he met you. If only he had told you he liked you before Satoru did. This question kept him up at night, playing all sorts of scenarios in his mind. If he had taken the first step… would things have been different? Would you have ended up together? Married? Shaking his head he tried to focus on what you were actually saying. Deviating his thoughts to that kind of scenario was dangerous. He also didn’t want to push it when he was perfectly aware you were still healing; he wasn’t a low-life piece of shit to take advantage of your vulnerability.

But when you smile at him as if he was the only thing in your world, when you held his hand across the table, playing with his finger, his throat felt dry and tight.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPOPJBbpMD
“What do you think Sugu?” Your curious and expecting eyes caught him like a deer in the headlights “I’m sorry Kitten, I was distracted. Could you repeat that please?” He asked with an affable smile.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7emGzFNai
You chuckled and stroked his hand softly “you look tired, did you sleep at all on the plane?” He shook his head “no, I didn’t. I never can, it’s uncomfortable” he hid on purpose the true reason why he hadn’t been able to sleep “come on Sugu! Let’s go back home! I bet you are tired” you said offering him a sweet smile.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPpHUzNh8D
After paying your bill you walked the few blocks back home. Suguru of course would be staying with you in the spare room of your penthouse. Holding hands while you talked to him about the activities the city had to offer, your schedule, and how you intended to fit the time to do some tourism with him. “You don’t have to bother Kitten, I know you are busy enough with your job, I will be fine” he insisted.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlT6QDLqO1
You stopped on your tracks and stood in front of him, pouting, making him chuckle. You looked every bit the kitten he knew you to be, all bothered and moody “no! I want to spend time with you too you know! I haven’t seen you in so long! I’m not going to waste this chance!” You insisted to which Suguru threw his hands up in the air “I surrender Kitten! Do with me as you will” you giggled and then blushed. “Uh… eh… ok! I will!” He took your hand again and you both resumed your walk.

Satoru warped to the rooftop of the building adjacent to yours, the lights were out in your apartment and he couldn’t sense your presence inside. Did you leave? Where did you go?
Before a second thought he warped inside your apartment he saw all your stuff was still there, maybe you went out for groceries or something?
After a few minutes sitting on your couch, he decided to wait for you on the street so he could see when you got home.
(Almost an hour later)
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61w2RjpFEV
Oh… he wasn’t ready for what he saw.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIo1zkgUwH
“That mother fu….” Satoru grinds his teeth watching you walk down the street holding onto Suguru’s hand while talking distractedly. From his hiding spot in front of your building, he closed his hands in a tight fist.
Well, this complicated things… a lot more.
