Waking up was always easier for you to do, in comparison to Gojo. He could, although, stay awake for days with no issue. You on the other hand? You struggled to stay awake for an entire twenty-four hours during a mission, which was why Gojo was always on the lookout, while he allowed you to take a couple of short naps.
Today was different, Gojo watched his lover sleep in peace, which was quite a sight. He brushed the hair out of her face and had a soft smile present on his lips, "I must've worn you out huh?" He asked quietly, as if he was expecting you to answer him back. You only groaned in response, arms around his waist tightening, as you snuggled closer to his chest. He chuckled softly, "Guess it wouldn't hurt to stay in a bit more." Gojo wrapped his arms around you, his hand on the back of your head, as he dozed back off to sleep.
It was probably around 3pm when he suddenly heard the knocking from downstairs, reluctant to get up, he closed his eyes and hoped that whomever was at the door would go away. To his dismay, the knocking never faltered, forcing him to eventually get up and go downstairs. He ruffled his hair, trying to make it as neat as possible as he approached the door and opened it.
"Geez.."
He groaned, as he opened the door with closed eyes, still trying to wake himself up. "You'd hope they'd get the message, when-.." He paused, his eyes adjusting to the light and the mere fact that he was now on the ground- after being tackled. "Yuji-kun..?" He muttered quietly, staring at the bundle of peach colored hair that was on top of his chest. Gojo looked up and saw Megumi and Nobara staring at the two on the ground, "What are you guys doing here? How did you guys find out where I lived?" He furrowed his eyebrows together, slightly squinting his eyes at the three.
Nobara uncrossed her arms that were in front of her chest, "We were worried about (Y/N)-sensei, especially after neither of the two of you were there for the baseball game. You were also the one that suggested we did baseball for the second half of the exchange school event, and you weren't there! So we asked Nanami-san if it were possible to visit her." She spoke nonchalantly, Megumi staring into space with his poker face. Their teacher laughed, as he got Yuji off him and let his students into his and (Y/N)'s apartment.
"So where's (Y/N)-sensei?" Megumi asked, as he stared at the older man, who was grabbing drinks for them in the refrigerator. "She's resting upstairs, after all.." He chuckled, setting the cups with juice on the coffee table, in front of his students. "I did keep her busy all night." Both Nobara and Megumi grimaced, while Yuji furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Tugging on Kugisaki's sleeve, he quietly mumbled into her ear, his left hand cupping around his mouth. "What does Gojo-sensei mean by 'keeping her busy all night'?" He asked cutely and innocently, Kugisaki looking at Megumi for help only to be interrupted by another voice entering the room.
"What did I say about messing with the kids?"
The trio turned their attention away from their snowy haired teacher and to the new presence in the living room, "Sensei!" The duo yelled simultaneously, rushing to her and tackling her to the ground. The older woman groaned, chuckling gleefully as she ruffled both the tangerine and peach haired teenagers that were on top of her. She eyed the raven haired boy, who had his hand on his forearm, looking away from them. "Fushiguro-kun, come join." She smiled, motioning her hand in a 'come here' motion. A light hint of pink appearing on the raven haired boy's cheeks, before walking over to them and wrapping his arms around her as well.
"Let me join in as well!" The raven haired woman's eyes widened, as she saw the snowy haired man- essentially jump into the hug with all of them. "Satoru, wait-!" She yelled, as she felt his crushing weight, along with their other students. Groaning, she couldn't help but laugh, after seeing Satoru nuzzle his face unto the hug. While Nobara told him to get off, Megumi continued to be unbothered, and Yuji seemed like he was happy to just be there. Then they all suddenly turned to her, "Sensei! Are you alright!" The four of them quickly got off of her and reached their hands down for her to take, she chuckled softly. "I'm okay.." Reaching both of her hands up, she took the closest hands she could take- which were Megumi's and Satoru's.
As Megumi let go of the hand that he helped his teacher up with, Gojo kept his holding unto hers. Leaning in, he whispered into her ear, "Are you sure you're okay, my love?" Smiling up at him, she nodded her head. "Let's go back to sitting on the couch, kids." They all nodded and she went to the kitchen to grab some snacks for them, "So what brought you kids here?" She asked, as she neatly put the snacks unto a tray and approached the four with the tray of food in her hands. Yuji gleamed, patting the seat next to her, Nobara doing the same. Thankfully, the two sat next to each other, making the choice quite easy to make- as the woman sat in the middle of the two teenagers.
"We wanted to check on you, sensei." Megumi answered, putting his phone down beside him on the couch, as he reached for his drink on the coffee table. The woman couldn't help but feel that odd sense of warmth engulf her chest, "How sweet of all of you, which reminds me, how was baseball game?" She asked, offering both the tangerine and peach haired teenagers snack, which they both happily accepted. "Oh yeah, how did that go?" Gojo asked as well, reaching his hand unto the tray to grab the cake that his lover had specifically prepared for him. "We won, Gojo-sensei! (Y/N)-sensei!" The peach haired boy gleed, as he took another bite of his chips.
The woman ruffled the boy's locks, "I'm proud of all of you! But that also means that the sister school exchange event, is going to take place in Tokyo again next year and not in Kyoto..." She heard the tangerine haired woman sigh beside her, "I really don't understand, why we just had to keep winning, now we won't be able to go to Kyoto again next year." The woman snickered, remembering how annoyed Nobara was upon realizing they weren't going to Kyoto this year for the event; going so far as cursing Yuta, a boy she's never met. "We might not be able to go to Kyoto next year for the event.. But all of you did so well for these events, even stood each of your own grounds for the unseen dire circumstances.." She hummed, which left the other students curious as to what their female teacher was thinking.
"Why don't we all take a small trip together, outside of Tokyo?"
