Work Text:
Yuta closed his eyes to enjoy the most comfortable feeling in the safest and most comfortable space in the world - that is, being pampered by the person he loves. They both sat in the large bathtub, Yuta sat comfortably in Gojo's lap and was so dreamy that he wanted to sleep, this place was so comfortable.
"Yuta don't sleep, after showering, let's have dinner first, okay?"
"Uh..um"
Gojo laughed out loud then gently pinched Yuta's cheeks and gently rubbed them like two adorable little mochi cakes.
"Yuta, Yuta~ if you don't eat dinner, you're not allowed to sleep. If you don't listen, sensei will eat you for dinner. Grrr!"
Gojo opened his mouth to reveal his fangs and gently bit Yuta's cheek, making him giggle from the tickle.
"Ahaha sensei, it tickles--it tickles so much, I won't eat, I don't want to eat..."
Gojo sighed and lifted Yuta's body as light as air. Lifting this kid up every day because he wasn't sleeping in the right place gave Gojo the special ability to know Yuta's weight accurately just by lifting him up.
"Yuta... seriously, you've lost weight again... that's it, how many times have I told you? If you're tired, just refuse the assigned work. There are many obvious tasks that can be reassigned to Level 1 and level 2 sorcerers were intentionally assigned to you...Yuta?"
Gojo smiled helplessly and sighed like his lover had completely fallen asleep in his arms. Yuta is always very cautious and doesn't even sleep if necessary. But just lying in Gojo's arms made him completely lose all strength and let go of all vigilance. Yuta's small breathing echoed evenly in Gojo's ears. Yuta's sleeping demeanor was also very peaceful and obedient. The strongest Sorcerer gently carried the student out of the bathtub to dry and get dressed.
After that, Gojo put Yuta on the bed and lay next to him, watching the child-like face sleeping very comfortably.
"Maybe in the future we should eat first and then shower...but when we get home from a mission, we can't help but shower hah..."
Gojo gently kissed Yuta's forehead then leaned in and hugged the boy to his chest.
"I have an annoying lover...why do you make me worry so much?"
"Um..hm"
Yuta groaned comfortably in Gojo's arms and wrapped his legs around his teacher's. Yuta then buried his face in Gojo's muscular chest and laughed comfortably in his sleep.
"Hah...it's because Yuta is so cute that he can be forgiven, but skipping meals still has to be punished...what should I do..."
...
Yuta came home with a sluggish mind, recently he only ate fast food at noon and threw himself headlong into his missions. The habit of skipping breakfast eats away at Yuta, even dinner after bathing is vague, Yuta doesn't even know if he will eat or not. The habit of skipping meals makes Yuta's stomach smaller and his ability to absorb food gradually decreases.
Yuta entered the kitchen and saw Gojo cooking dinner. His mood brightened because he remembered that tomorrow was their day off.
"Yuta? You're home, go take a shower and then come out here for dinner."
Yuta's heart sank a little, if sensei said that, it meant they wouldn't bathe together today. Gojo stirred the pot of curry and looked over his shoulder.
"If I take a bath with you, you'll fall asleep again, right? Hurry up and take a bath."
Yuta's eyebrows sagged like a poor puppy being scolded by his owner. He obediently went to take a shower and then went to the kitchen and sat down opposite his teacher. After finishing eating his portion, Gojo rested his chin on his hand and carefully watched Yuta eat like he was watching a child. Gojo looked at Yuta's curry plate, which was only nearly half empty. This was a portion that Yuta would have finished half a month ago. Gojo swears he will punish this brat today.
Gojo brought his hand to Yuta's forehead and lightly flicked it, causing the boy to close his eyes in surprise. Yuta gently rubbed his forehead and Gojo cleaned up the dishes. After that, the two sat on the sofa in the living room to watch TV as usual when they have a day off together. Yuta and Gojo sat separately, far away from each other even though they were sitting on the same sofa. Yuta couldn't concentrate on the random movie on TV, he was used to Gojo's skinship habit and silently looked forward to it. But today Gojo looked like he was in a bad mood and didn't proactively skinship with Yuta.
Yuta is carefully observing his lover's mood and inching closer. He felt extremely embarrassed because if sensei didn't want to cuddle or something, it would be weird. Gojo sighed helplessly when he saw Yuta like that so he patted the seat between his thighs. Yuta's eyes unconsciously lit up with happiness, the boy happily walked over and sat on the teacher's lap. Gojo rested his chin on Yuta's shoulder and wrapped his arms around the boy's small waist. Although he had gained a bit of muscle compared to his first year, he had recently started to feel too small to hug. The 28-year-old man's arms were very big - bigger than a normal person's because it was Gojo, so the feeling of helplessness with his lover's small waist in his arms was even heavier.
Feeling that his teacher's bad mood was due to him, Yuta felt extremely guilty. Yuta stood up and walked into the kitchen. Gojo frowned and curiously looked at his lover's small back. Gojo-sensei's eyes never left his younger lover but watched him take out a box of strawberry daifuku. There is also a cool glass of soda that is dark green at the bottom and the color gradually fades towards the rim of the glass. The square ice cubes in the glass create a cool and comfortable feeling. Yuta is always like this when Gojo is angry, and actually, even if he's not angry, Yuta still buys him sweets if he happens to pass by a cute bakery.
Gojo completely understood the idea of opening his mouth and putting all the daifuku in, this was a sign that his teacher's mood was worse than ever.
"Sensei--I'm sorry for making you worry."
Gojo chewed daifuku while looking at Yuta unchanged.
"Hmm~ do you know you're at fault? Tell me about it?"
Yuta nervously touched his hands and didn't dare look directly into his sensei's dark sky-colored eyes.
'Ugh, why isn't sensei wearing a blindfold right now??'
"Because...because I didn't eat the dinners you worked so hard to make the last few times and-"
Yuta's face turned red, his mouth moved without saying a word.
"And?"
The older man's hand looks strong but delicately holds the rim of the glass and drinks soda straight from the rim of the glass rather than using a prepared straw. Yuta secretly glanced at his lover's impatient questioning expression and then immediately withdrew his gaze out of guilt.
"A-and--couldn't help you relieve your desires at night!"
As soon as the beautiful blue soda passed through the tongue, the cool water had not yet had time to pass through the larynx before it flowed back like a tidal wave, hitting the steady white teeth of the strongest sorcerer. To put it more simply, Yuta's lover sprayed the liquid straight out of his mouth that had not yet had time to flow down to his stomach. The blue liquid fell loosely from the teacher's mouth and formed a pale blue patch on the warm white sweater.
Gojo's young lover gaped at him and with the quick reaction of a special grade sorcerer, Yuta immediately pulled out a few tissues and helped Gojo wipe away the liquid on his body.
"Sensei! Quickly take off your shirt!"
The strongest Sorcerer of modern times looked at his lover in bewilderment and disbelief.
"Do you want to have sex right now?"
The hand that was about to help Gojo take off his shirt retracted as if being electrocuted when Yuta realized that his words were misunderstood. Actually, the reason was all from him in the first place, so Yuta was even more embarrassed.
"N-n-no! What I mean is, quickly take off your shirt to wash it, what if it doesn't wash off if you leave it on for too long!"
Gojo calmly took off his shirt and gave it to Yuta. The strongest sorcerer's muscles are still impressive and make Yuta both blush and jealous every time he sees them. The boy carefully took the shirt without touching the teacher's hand and ran quickly to the bathroom to wash the shirt while taking time to calm down after his embarrassing confession.
Yuta sat down and hugged his knees, covering his face with both hands as if calming himself for the last time. Obviously admitting his mistake but causing more trouble for Gojo. Yuta muttered something like a cheering mantra to himself and then patted his cheeks three times. The student stood up, took a deep breath, then went out to the living room to face his lover.
Gojo let out a breath and looked at Yuta's guilty appearance.
"You, sigh...don't you really know what your fault is? And do you really think that just because you can't help me 'relieve my desires', it's your fault? Yuta shouldn't think like that , this is a bad trait!"
Yuta shrank back a bit when being scolded continuously like that. If this was just a joke, then Gojo wouldn't hesitate to tease him that he had been lonely the last few nights and that it was Yuta's fault for falling asleep every time they showered together. But no, Yuta was definitely seriously thinking it was his fault, not in a joking manner at all. Yuta was so indifferent to himself that he didn't know what Gojo was really angry about. Gojo is angry at himself for not teaching Yuta enough to appreciate himself more.
"Yuta, don't underestimate yourself and don't think chasing me is easy."
The low but gentle sound startled Yuta and made him look straight into those sky-colored eyes. They sparkled and were like a knife stabbing straight into Okkotsu Yuta's heart, dissecting it and showing Yuta where there was a missing piece and where there was an extra piece.
“You have a large amount of curse energy and you want to focus on practicing copying techniques as much as possible. But hey, forgetting to keep the physical body and cursed energy in balance is a fatal point for sorcerers like us who rely on cursed energy and cursed techniques."
Gojo remembers the life and death experience with Fushiguro Toji, people without magic power can do many things with ordinary people's eyes, with the smallest clues of the surrounding environment, left by people. When protecting Amanai Riko, Gojo made the mistake of only appreciating the curse energy and never thought that a person without curse energy would appear and fight two special-level agents half alive and half dead.
"Consider which missions are most urgent and which missions can be left to other Sorcerers and declined. Set a daily number of missions. Please pay attention to your own nutrition. Skipping a meal once will lead to the next time, creating a deadly habit for busy people."
Yuta bowed his head when being lectured.
"Don't you want to be stronger than me?"
Yuta immediately raised his head and looked at Gojo with great determination, it seemed like it was not a promise, not a dream but an obsession...
"Of course I want to become stronger!!"
That is very important, extremely important to Okkotsu Yuta. After the Hyakki Yakou battle, Yuta did not choose to return to normal life because he had found a new life, new friends to protect, and a teacher who looked very lonely. Yuta wanted to run towards his teacher, quickly, quickly shorten the distance between the two...so that sensei would no longer be alone. Sensei, please wait for me.
The student's haste and kindness caused him to trip himself and fall. But Yuta will not give up, he will definitely never give up running to the teacher.
"I'm sorry for bothering you these past two weeks."
Gojo laughed helplessly and ruffled his student's soft hair that smelled of gentle jasmine soap. This kid's personality truly never changes, he still thinks of others more than himself.
Yuta looked a bit confused about something and glanced sideways but didn't say anything. The boy is often afraid of causing trouble to others, so his ability to actively engage in intimate actions is often very limited. Yuta is especially sensitive in love, sensitive to anyone but also gentler than anyone. Gojo finds this sometimes annoying in an extremely adorable way, Yuta at these times is like a little rabbit with his ears folded and timid.
"Yuta? Do you want to say something else?"
Yuta was surprised when his teacher discovered it right away, perhaps Yuta didn't realize that when he's with his friends or the people he loves, his expressions are very easy to read.
"So you're not mad at me anymore?"
"Yeah yeah, how can you be angry with Yuta for more than a day? And?"
Gojo waited because he knew Yuta still wanted to express something. Gojo's young lover suddenly frowned deeply and looked straight at his teacher.
"Will you still take a bath with me and hug me while we watch TV before bed?"
Oh so that's it, this is why Yuta kept making awkward faces and glancing at Gojo from the moment he finished bathing until he sat next to each other watching TV. Since they fell in love until now, Gojo has always proactively skinshipd with this kid. Perhaps because Yuta's personality is too respectful of others' distance, he prefers to accept skinship rather than proactively skinship with Gojo.
"Oh~ Yuta likes skinship that much? But at first when we first started dating, you kept pushing me away."
Yuta blushed when he was teased, this kid is still so cute even though he has started his second year. The student lightly grabbed the hem of Gojo's shirt impatiently, his ocean-colored eyes frowned as if he was a little nervous. frustrations. Gojo laughed, making Yuta even more frustrated. Sensei wiped physiological tears from the corners of his eyes and opened his large arms as an invitation. Immediately, without wasting a second, the little student jumped into Gojo's warm arms and buried his face in Gojo's chest. The feeling of separation and lack of skinship was only for a few hours but it was extremely stifling.
Gojo and Yuta are very busy so they rarely have time to be together, but Gojo doesn't pay attention to his favorite student all evening, of course Yuta will feel lonely. Gojo gently kissed his lover's ear and then slid his lips down to the crook of his neck, inhaling the familiar scent of shower gel that they both shared.
“Yuta, you have to focus more on yourself from now on. Thinking of others is good, but don't be too inclined towards other people and forget that if something happens to you, the people who love you will also be in a bad mood."
“Um”
Yuta buried his face in Gojo's chest and let out a muffled hum. This kid still has a long road full of obstacles ahead. 'Carelessness' towards himself is also one of those obstacles, it is both Yuta's strength and weakness. Gojo's trust in this distant relative boy was ridiculously great. “Being alone is very lonely”... teacher, did you just say that to draw Yuta to this world or were you waiting for someone to break your loneliness?
...
“Here Yuta, your favorite cabbage with salt and sesame oil~”
Yuta's eyes sparkled brightly at his favorite dish made by his favorite person, but his face sank a bit when there was also a meat-related dish on the table. Gojo gently pinched his lover's cheek.
“Just eat a little, I won't force you to eat it all, why are you making that face?”
Gojo sat down at the table and watched his lover chew cabbage, his cheeks bulging while the surrounding flowers seemed to be blooming happily.
‘What is this, is Yuta a rabbit? Uwah When he got to the meat, his attitude changed 180 degrees'
Yuta chewed a piece of beef in his mouth with a pitiful look like a rabbit being bullied by the white wolf Gojo. The white wolf chuckled and patted the poor rabbit's black hair.
“Eat a lot and become chubby so sensei can eat you too~ Little bunny~”
Yuta naively did not know what evil thoughts his white wolf was having and continued obediently chewing cabbage.
“Yuta, you can only be this naive when you're with me~ Definitely don't believe anything that indecent people say.”
“I'm not a child, sensei…”
...
Yuta blinked in disbelief, he stepped down and then up again, to make sure there was no mistake Yuta even ran to the teacher's dormitory to try.
The white-haired man was standing in the kitchen humming in a happy mood because tomorrow was a day off for both him and his lover, so he also had time to cook for Yuta. While washing cabbage, there was a loud sound of the door opening and the sound of hurried footsteps going straight to the kitchen. It seemed that the owner of the footsteps easily knew where the person he was looking for was.
“Sensei!!”
The 28 year old man kept humming and answered without any worry.
“What is it, Yuta?”
When he glanced behind him, Gojo saw his little rabbit's face distorted as if he was about to cry and was extremely happy because the only person who could tease Yuta out of that expression was his lover.
“I-I-I've gained weight!!”
‘Oh, Yuta also cares about this?’
“Um, that's good, isn't it?”
Big round puppy eyes glared at Gojo as if about to pierce him, while the person who committed the crime was very happy and proud of himself. Yuta has a hard time gaining weight, so this result is truly amazing.
“But-but—If I get fat, will sensei still like me…you always said you liked my small waist…”
Gojo left the half-washed cabbage behind and walked up to his younger lover and lightly flicked his forehead.
“What are you talking about? Because it's Yuta's waist, I like it. It doesn't matter if you're small or fat."
Yuta puffed his cheeks when his lover hugged him and gently squeezed his waist. Gojo thought about it for a bit, it was true that he had fed Yuta too much, even continuous missions couldn't burn off all the calories of the food he ate, was this his fault..? The white wolf tilted its head and hummed while still gently squeezing the small waist even though Yuta was trying hard to stop him.
“Okay ~ So to make up for making you fat, I'll help you exercise, okay?”
Yuta looked up to look at his teacher, when he was at home he usually didn't wear a blindfold.
"exercise?"
“Yes, this is Gojo Satoru's super special way to exercise. No one can enjoy this benefit except Yuta~ Tomorrow is off so let's start tonight, okay?”
"Tonight?"
The little rabbit tilted his head innocently, unaware of the evil intentions of the white wolf embracing him. Yuta isn't good at being wary of Satoru, right?
...
A week later…
“Okkotsu-senpai, it seems like you're back to your old weight, it's only been a week...Tell me how!!”
Nobara was extremely surprised and shook her senior's arm vigorously. She had been fasting all week but still had no positive results. Yuta remembered the 'weight loss method' someone showed him and his face suddenly turned red. From behind, two arms reached out to hug Yuta. That person rubbed his cheek against Yuta's black hair that smelled of jasmine soap and smiled wickedly.
“It can't be helped, this special way to lose weight is only for Yuta. It's called 'Gojo Satoru's weight loss method'~"
Nobara clicked her tongue and looked at their teacher with unhappy eyes.
Nobara notices that Gojo and even Yuta's spirits have been strangely good lately. The white-haired man lightly tapped his finger on his lover's shoulder and then whispered softly as he placed his seductive lips against the teenager's ear.
“Yuta, do you want to exercise again tonight?”
