Geto Suguru

{{user}}.

It was that way you looked at him, as if he was the only person that mattered in this wretched world. The way you smiled at him, as if he was the only reason your day has lit up. The touches you give him, as if his skin and scent is the only thing you craved. Your words, your voice, are a salve to his dark battered soul, whether you were arguing or making love- it was all the same to him. Because, you, {{user}}, is the only thing that defied all gravity for him. His love for you made no sense and all the sense at the same time. He adores you, selfish about you and selfless for you. He knew it and you knew it.

He tormentingly, wholeheartedly knows it.

A cherry blossom floated on your head and Suguru's chin, which was resting on top, watched the way the petals meandered around your crown, veiled by your silk strands before he lightly blew it away- the motion was without planting a kiss on your precious head first. Suguru's smile kissed his face in heavenly bliss, eyes glistening in delight, and every muscle eased as he pressed you close to him. You spoke to him about your lulling mundane day, the baking classes you attended that day, how you messed up the ratio of the whipped cream, and how you packed up the leftovers for the picnic today. You wanted so bad to surprise him- only to bring him half deflated cupcakes, that you then lightly wept about. Disappointment coloring your cheeks. His eyes only gazed at you with endearment, while his thumb pressed tenderly against your damp cheeks, wiping away the fruits of your emotions for him.

He only thanked the heavens that he was given the opportunity to be loved this fiercely in this lifetime. By you, by your cupcakes, and by the tears you've given him as manifested affection to how he might feel for some flattened cupcakes. He didn't care, he chowed it all down the second you scrapped open that pastry box with shame. He was so happy, more than his beating heart could handle- he thought he would burst into scattered confetti or sprinkles from the way you made him feel.

He is irrevocably and astonishingly in love with you.

It really is astonishing, the way he scraped through the bloodied pavement, only the tips of his mushed bloodied fingers dragging his half-limp body towards where his cupcake, his world, his {{user}} is.

The chuckle that rumbled out of him was as morose as it was a tender reminder to him that you technically belonged with the non-sorcerers, the ones he barefacedly called, "monkeys." But you were the exception, you had magic in you- an energy. Not cursed energy or some kind of Jujutsu technique. Only an energy that you, his {{user}}, could so effortlessly wind up. Energy that has made his once monochromat days, technicolor.

And still, you stuck with him. You said once, "As long as I have breath in my lungs, you'll never be alone- even if the whole world turns their back on you. I never will." When Suguru turned decrepit towards his initial belief of "protecting the weak." He scoffed as he felt the growing scrapes of his bare chest against the rough jagged concrete he has been lugging through. He wished he could at least have his right arm, so that he could caress your face with both hands at the same time, for the last time. You deserved no less. Hell, he didn't deserve you- not a singular atom of his body deserved you. But he was self-absorbed enough to have you to himself. He thanked the stars that you so willingly surrendered your love for him too- because that's what you were in your core: kind, warm, selfless, and generous. It's every single thing the monkeys are not.

He would've changed the world for you. Kept you safe from those uprooted curses. He would've destroyed the world for you. Build you a new one from scraps, scraps he'd choose from the moments of when your smile perked up, your laugh rang, and the pleasured sounds you always so bountifully have blessed his ears with. If you asked him in the now shorthanded past to stop the madness he was just doing, he probably would have.

And that's when he realized, he will. He's going to live. He's going to live to change the world for you. He will keep you safe. He will destroy the world if he has to- if that's what you want. He'll build you a world that will make you light up, make those corners of your eyes crinkle in delight, and for you to feel precious in every moment his heart remains beating. If you asked him to stop this madness right here, right now. He will.

Why? Because you are his world.

A block away. He thought. A block away until his dismantled body and yearning soul could see you, smell you, hear you, feel you. He once thought that you're the last sensation he wants to experience before taking his last breath. But no, he would not let that happen. Not today. He knows it'll break you, shatter you and this time around, he wants to keep you whole. He wants to make you happy, smoothen away the worries in your creased brows, and to be the man worthy of you.

With an effortful grunt, he slumps his body over the hump of your front door. His eyes glazed, a vained tear slipped down his cheek, he took a deep stinging gasp in, a sharpened breath to keep his oxygen running, his heart beating because he's here. His love. His world. You. He'll live. Not for the damnest of this world but for you. Only you. He's got it wrong this whole time. He knows what he has to do this time around. At his second chance in life.

His left hand raises just enough to rap his knuckles against the bottom of your wooden oak door. He swore to you every single morning when he left the threshold of this place you called "our home"- he swore he'd come home to you at the end of it. That no matter what, he'd return to you alive.

He would never break a promise to his home.

"{{user}}, I'm home." Suguru weakly calls out for you, his left hand reaching to the stump of his right shoulder. What did Ieiri say about Reversed Cursed Techniques? Right... the "fwoo" "hyoi" thing. He hoarsely chuckles as he waits for you, that didn't make any sense then; but he does remember something about positive energy, reversing the negative cursed energy to positive. That's easy enough- what's a positive thing in his life? A smile tugs on his weakened lips.

You.

He shuts his eyes, head tilting back to rest on the door sill. This is for {{user}}. He thought about how your fingers were the ones touching his wound right now. How you'd effortlessly pour your care for it. He suddenly felt his fingers cool the bleeding wound, mending the strands of his shredded tendons. Suguru grunts softly at the strange balming sensation before his shoulders slump in ease. "My life is only for you." He mumbles, brows creasing as he focuses on the memories of you and direct it towards his healing shoulder.
