10: "You Look Tired."

Your plan required Nanami to distract Gojo for the day. All you needed was Gojo out of the house. Not hard, really, as he had done his darned best to avoid you.

Nanami agreed without much hesitation, thankfully. He had told you over the phone that he would also talk to Gojo and try to convince him to talk to you, hopefully easing him into the idea by the end of the day. Another thing you were extremely grateful for.

    You had tried talking to Gojo that morning before he left. You had even made him breakfast. When he walked past it and went straight to the front door, you didn't think it was because he was actively avoiding the food you made for him. You genuinely think that he was so busy avoiding you that he just missed the kitchen altogether. You had wished him a good day, but it was cut short when he left and closed the door behind himself.

    You sighed, washing your hands at the kitchen sink. You wrapped the plate of food with foil and placed it in the fridge, closing the door with as much enthusiasm as a rock. You weren't sure this was going to work. Not once in the 12 years of knowing Gojo had you ever attempted to make him happy. You weren't entirely sure how you went from that to caring about why you made him upset and trying your best to surprise him to make up for whatever you had done.

    Once you were sure he had left, you ran upstairs and grabbed your bag full of ingredients from next to your bed. You didn't bother hiding it. You figured that if Gojo was avoiding you that much, he wouldn't come by your room in risk of seeing you there.

    You went back down to the kitchen, and pulled everything out of the bag, placing it in an organised mess on the bench. You were going to attempt to make his favourite sweet food. You knew he liked all sorts of sweet things, and he had also never mentioned any favourites ever, but luckily, you were able to remember a time a few months back when he was talking about how much he liked a certain mochi he picked up from a store.

    Not a good memory for Megumi, as he was fighting Itadori, who had just been freshly fused with Sukuna. Apparently Gojo had been shopping while Megumi was dealing with the situation. As soon as Megumi had told you that, maybe a couple of weeks after the fight (he hadn't felt it necessary to mention it at first), you had never been angrier. You chased Gojo down for a good twenty minutes, neither one of you relenting, all the while Gojo was trying to defend his case. At least, he was doing the best he could with you chasing him with the same force as a bull chasing a waving red flag.

    So that's why you knew that Gojo must've really liked Kikufuku.

    You made a noise that you could only describe as a mix of disgruntled, nervous, and reluctance. You couldn't even bake a single muffin. Muffins are supposed to be easy to make. They're like messy, sometimes savoury cupcakes. Not salt-filled and stale despite it having just come out of the oven. To this day, you had no idea what the hell happened with that. You just concluded that the universe was just that against you making anything food-related.

    Maybe that was the real reason Gojo didn't acknowledge your breakfast that morning.

    Clearing your throat, you connected your phone to the speakers in the apartment. You had managed to get the passcode off Gojo the first week after much pestering.

    You selected your playlist, pressing shuffle and of course skipping through every damn song until you found the one you wanted. Then you got to work, washing your hands and pulling up the recipe on your phone.

    Even though making mochi wasn't usually a process that took too long (at least, to your knowledge), the reason you needed Gojo out all day was because there was a lot of freezing involved. Luckily, Gojo had money and was able to get expensive freezers that froze quicker than Elsa did when she sneezed on that lake before running away from home (pretty sure that was how it went). So you wouldn't have to wait overnight.
