20. unmasked

It's been three days since I spend my nights in his apartment.

It's no lie; I enjoy waking up next to him. It comes with a great peace that I'm trying to get used to. It feels appropriate to be out of any chaotic energy I encounter.

I think deserve it.

He also seems to be sleeping like a baby, as he had quite no reaction to the alarm that went off already 2 times at this point.

The sight of him twitching in his sleep also amuses me.

"Do you really like being late all the time, Satoru?" I reached his ear and whispered, running my hand through his raveled but soft hair. It was my way of trying to get him to wake up, finally.

"Let's just stay like this for a moment." He talked in a sleepy, raspy voice that I barely understood as he wrapped his hands around me.

I had no choice but to oblige, being all cuddled up. He pulled me closer to his chest, feeling the warmth of his body; I wanted it to last longer, too.

He was sharing kisses all over my cheeks, most of them careless, not landing on my face.

I didn't want to get up just yet; he had me smiling through all of it. But the rush to arrive early for today's game was unnerving.

It was my first day as a teacher, even though it wasn't technically counting as one. No mission or teaching lesson was involved whatsoever.

The actual problem I had today was the fact that I had to team up with Gojo for it.

Having to pretend nothing is happening between us would surely be challenging. He's not so easy to reason with, either. I'm sure he will be pushing the limits on purpose, but I pray he will behave for once.

I don't know how long I'm supposed to be hiding us. Am I even supposed to hide us in the first place?

I think it would be inappropriate not to. It won't be a surprise, I'm sure. But telling so many people makes me anxious.

"You know, these days I've spent with you, it seems I'm sleeping way more than usual. I like that," I heard him whisper, pulling me from my thoughts.

That made me happy to hear; I want him at his best all the time.

I know how he also has so much work to get done in such a short time, so he is naturally sleeping as little as he can.  "Don't you?" he then asked for reassurance.

I hummed in agreement, turning my face to see a sleepy man smiling with his eyes closed.

It amused me. I preferred to wake up,  get the job done in silence. Yet, he stayed in bed and wouldn't stop talking. That's how different we are, and honestly, I like it that way.

"You're cute, but we need to get ready. What if we lose points because we are late, then what, huh? " I joked, gluing my head to his. "Also, how are we supposed to get to the high school together? I don't want to risk people speculating anything, you know? " I asked, realizing that we still had this problem.

"I'll just tell them that we got married on our day off and moved in afterward. It makes sense that we would arrive together. " He said while he looked at me dead in the eyes.

It made me laugh, shaking my head in disbelief. "You're crazy."

"Don't worry, I'll just make something up." He comforted me while playing with a strand of my hair.

He then continued, with an actually serious tone. "What's that crazy about it though? I'd like for you to move in and for us to spend more time here. I hate staying at the Jujutsu's dorms so much."
