Gojo POV

It's been 3 days since that incident but... Y/N is still not awake. It's 10AM right now and I'm sitting beside her bed, on the stool, holding her hand.  I lift her hand and attach the back of her hand to my forehead.





Why did this happen?






Why couldn't I protect her?





It's all my fault





I promised I would protect her then...







Why?








Why?

Gojo POV (age 7, grade 2)

I am currently walking to school by myself. I study in a private school. Since the school is nearby, I walk to my school.

After walking for a few minutes, I reach the school and walk to my class. When I entered the class, girls started surrounding me, as always. Except for one girl though. She had purple hair and (E/C) eyes. She was talking to a boy in our class. After a minute, the boy runs away while crying and she sighs and continues to read her book. 

She just pretended like nothing happened. There's not even a bit of guilt shown. I hate her already. I'll give her a piece of my mind.


"Hey" I reply as I walk up to her desk

"Yes?" She replies as she looks up from her book, looking at me

"Why did you make him cry? That's not cool at all. That was very horrible of you"


"Look, that wasn't-" I cut her off


"I don't care. You're the worst. No one would like to be with you if you're like this" I reply coldly. She sighs



"Listen to-" She gets cut off as the sensei comes in. I go back to my seat

Gojo POV

I am walking home currently as I think about that new girl. Maybe I went too far? But she did make him cry.

"Grandma, I'm home!" I said as I walked into the house but.. I got no reply

"Grandma?" I said as I look for her in the kitchen and the living room

I checked everywhere except her room. She must be there


"Grandma!" I yell as I enter into her room. I widen my eyes as soon as I walk into her room


A curse was trying to kill her. 



I couldn't do anything. I still didn't train my abilities! What should I do?!



"Satoru, run!" My grandma exclaims

I was thinking about what I should do until the curse leaves grandma alone and comes after me. Grandma fainted. I couldn't move. I stood still. I closed my eyes, ready for the impact. But... It never came. I slowly opened my eyes. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was shocked. 


"Don't worry. The curse is dead now. Be careful though. You seem to have a lot of curse energy which attracted the curse here. I'll teach you conceal it though. Don't worry about it" I look up at the person. It was none other than the girl from class today

"You.."

"Hmm? Wait- aren't you the boy from today? I think your name is Sojo, right?" She asks me as she tilts her head, confused, She looks so cute.. Ah! What am I thinking?!

"No, you idiot! It's Gojo Satoru! And more importantly, what are you doing here?" I ask her

"I just sensed a curse nearby so I rushed over" She replies casually 

"Why.. Did you save me?" I ask her as shadow looms over my eyes

"I don't need a reason to save anyone. I always try to save everyone. Life is very important. I want everyone to live their life to the fullest without any regrets. I want everyone to be happy. I want peace to exist among everyone. Even if it means I should sacrifice my life" She replies as she grins

"Why would you go as far as sacrificing your life?" I ask her

"Hmm.. I don't know" She replies with her fingers on her chin, making my jaw drop

"You don't know?!" I exclaim

"What's wrong with that?" She replies as I sigh and shake my head

"But still.. Why did you save me even when was really mean to you?"

"So.. what? So what if you were mean? It doesn't matter who. I help no matter who that person is, especially when they're in trouble. Besides, I've been through worse" She replies casually

"What do you mean worse?"

"I don't know my parents. I've never met them. I was raised up in an orphanage. They think that  my (E/C) eyes are very... demon- like. So, they always... Bullied me. But thankfully, I've been adopted by a very good family. They treat me as one of their own. They know about curses and about me killing them too. I really love them. I'm very grateful to them" She replies in a gentle voice as she grins, making her look even beautiful

"I don't think they are though" I reply

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I never thought your (E/C) eyes were demon- like though. It's really beautiful, to be honest. I'm kinda jealous" I reply as she looks at me with her eyes widened

"Thank you.. You don't know how much that means to me"

"You know.. Maybe you're not as bad as I thought. Let's be friends, Satoru" She replies as she smiles brightly at me and reaches her hand out



That was the moment I realized that...








I fell in love with her




"I don't even know your name" I reply


"Y/N. Just Y/N"


"Alright. I'll be your friend, Y/N. I swear I'll protect you forever" I reply smiling big


"I look forward to it" She replies as she grins




Since then, we've been best friends. Every moment I spent with her was special. I fell in love with her all over again. She's the one and only for me. No one can replace her.


Present
Gojo POV

It's 9PM currently and I'm still beside Y/N, waiting for her to wake up. I feel sleepy. I slowly started to drift off to sleep on her side. After a few hours (which seemed like minutes), I woke up as someone started to shake me

"Who is it?" I reply as I yawn, still feeling sleepy

"Satoru.. What are you doing here this late? Are you alright?" They ask me in a very gentle voice as they rub my hand with theirs. It was none other than Y/N

"Y/N..? Am I dreaming?
