『Gojo Satoru was a man that brimmed of confidence, he knew he was the most powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer and nothing could ever shake him down- 'till he met you. 』
You were the girl that made him feel unfamiliar emotions...
A/N:This is somewhat canon to both anime and manga, but really it's just the mentions of prison realm.

In the darkness, there sat Gojo Satoru trapped in the prison realm. The time within the prison realm flew completely different, from how the flow of time was on the outside world. But that wasn't what Gojo Satoru had worried about, it was his lover that was waiting for him outside of this dark prison. His eyes slowly got used to the dark, yet he couldn't calm his heart- his very heart anxious for his beautiful (y/n). As he reached out his hand into the thin air, reaching out for the memory of his lover who wasn't there.
Within this darkness, his only friends were the memories of her. He closed his eyes, as the fleeting memories of you played like a broken jukebox. Memories of you sitting in front of your office desk at the appointment that both of you had just moved into, your back turned to him, as you wrote your report of the recent infestation of curses. Remembering the moment that you had turned your office chair around and smiled at him, "Okaeri, 'Toru." Then there it was, the warmth that had once bothered him, now swole up in his chest. It was nothing more than just a 'welcome home', yet he could still remember the way your hair was pinned up by a hair clip. The way the end of your eyes creased whenever you smiled at him, and that slight pink undertone on your cheeks.
Years had passed, yet that same warmth always lingered- unchanging. Even when he saw others speak of how they all eventually got bored of their significant other, or they weren't the right person for them- that wasn't the case for him. Even if the two of you had your fair share of fights, he just couldn't help but succumb- it always made him feel uneasy if the two of you didn't make up. How you made him feel never changed, it always felt like the two of you had just started dating and he'd get butterflies in his stomach every time he saw you.

It felt like you were the only thing keeping him sane, within this prison.
Like you were a bright star in the darkest of nights, leading him back to you. He knew he should've kissed you more, maybe even be selfish and didn't go to Shibuya that day. That he should've stayed in bed with you longer, asked you to make him more tamagoyakis. But these were now nothing but regrets, all he can do now is return to your side.
Besides feeling like his entire world was being torn apart, he couldn't help but feel troubled about what had happened to everyone in Shibuya after he was sealed. Questions as to whether or not his students and colleagues were still alive, or how his once closest friend stood right before him. He knew it wasn't Suguru, he knew that deep in his soul that it wasn't him- that there was no way it could be him. Gojo Satoru killed him, because he still remembered to this day- the absolute devastation that your face had contorted to after hearing the news.

Frustrated.
He clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turning white, knowing well that there was nothing he could do. You must've been crying, and that's what infuriated him the most. He had promised to be there for you for the times that you felt like you couldn't deal with the world anymore- but now, here he was, completely helpless. He wanted to be the one there by your side, wiping your tears away, reassuring you that everything would be alright. But he will come back, he had promised you that, he always promised to come back to you no matter the circumstance.
Gojo knew that you can protect yourself. But he still feared for you, feared for your safety. But besides that, he was filled with regrets that he had written you a letter that contradicted the promises that he once spoke to you. He hoped that you would never find that letter, and that if you did, that you would continue believing in him- despite the letter's contents.
