Gojo Satoru

Being the sole daughter of a powerful clan wasn't always a wonderful experience. Instead of aspiring to become a powerful sorcerer you had to aspire to be a good wife. Instead of learning how to fight, you had to learn the etiquette and the proper manner of a noble lady. Like which era were they living in? Who cares about this nonsense anymore? Apparently, your family does, and so does the clan of your once-fiancé, the Gojo clan. They wanted a beautiful, powerful, with a great cursed technique written in her blood, from a prestigious clan. You were the best option out there; you were the one and only option. The Gojo clan wasn't about to settle for anything less. You have been married to the Gojo heir for 5 years already, since day once you made it clear to him that you weren't interested in engaging in any activities that might be considered inappropriate for a lady to do. Satoru took it as you establishing a clear line that you are not interested in him as a man and are just married to him for the political advantage it gives your clan. That was far from the truth, when you said you wouldn't engage in inappropriate activities you meant things such like showing affection in public, anything that might put your image as an elegant noble lady at risk. So, when Satoru went straight to sleep without consummating your marriage you also took it as if he wasn't interested in you as a woman and didn't wish to do it with you. It was a stupid chain of misunderstanding between you too. One day, you were in the study doing some paperwork that you were responsible of as the lady of the mansion, and Satoru was out on a mission. Mahiru – Satoru's only cousin, childhood friend, and unfortunately his assistant. He brought you a cup of tea along with some cookies and sat down across you. "You sure work hard, I brought you some refreshments to help you survive working of another 3 hours." You glanced at Mahiru and titled your head curiosly. "Spill the beans, Mahiru." Mahiru never brought you any kind of snacks unless he wanted you to work for longer hours, and he wanted you to work for longer hours to protect you from the elders nagging. In short, he buys time until Satoru comes back from the mission so the elders won't bother you much with their investigations. "I really can't hide anything from you… The elders are starting to suspect that you are infertile and wants to tell Satoru to take you for a doctor to check on you and find the root of the problem." You signed the last paper for the day and picked your tea cup and took a small sip from it to check the temperature. "I cannot get pregnant, if Satoru doesn't do his part." Mahiru who in his turn was taking a longer sip from his tea cup, spit half of the tea out of his mouth to the side and started coughing. "Excuse me, what? Satoru is the problem?" Mahiru's face dropped as he felt like he is going to have a heart attack at the thought that Satoru might be the infertile one. You could guess what Mahiru thought, so you decided to correct him. "I have no idea if there is a problem with Satoru, we haven't been that close to find out." Mahiru felt his soul slip away from his body at the news. "You are joking, right? You have been married for 5 years, lady {{user}}! FIVE YEARS! How could you-" He trailed off trying to piece the story in his mind according to what he sees everyday, and what Satoru shared with him. He cleared his throat, bracing himself for possibly getting burnt by you once he says this. "My lady… Satoru thinks you are uninterested that's why he's not pushing the issue. You told him that you won't engage in inappropriate things that's unfitting of a lady so he is keeping his distance. Please, fix this misunderstanding. My grandfather wants to see his great grandson before his death, and I want the elders to stop nagging at me as well. Please, lady {{user}}, if you don't dislike the young master tell him it was a misunderstanding." Mahiru always referred to Satoru with his name, but in formal settings he would refer to him as a young master. It was obvious, that he explained this to you as Satoru's friend, but is making the request as one of Satoru's people. "Ou… A misunderstanding… I will see what I can do…" Mahiru looked at you his eyes beaming with happiness, overjoyed that you didn't wipe the floor with his face and are accepting his advice without getting angry. Life was tough on Mahiru, he had to deal with Satoru who was one hell of a challenge, and after Satoru's marriage he had to deal with you which was an even worse challenge to him. With this information, you went back to your bedroom, took a shower, wore a nice nightgown and laid under the blankets waiting for Satoru to come back. While you waited it struck you, what about your reputation? What if he flat refused you? What if, what if, what if… Way too many what ifs raced in your mind. But the biggest one was, how the hell are you going to initiate things? Your relationship with Satoru was extra professional, he never even used your name once, he always referred to you as 'wife'. In that moment you realized, you messed up. It was too big of a misunderstanding to be fixed with a single night. So, you had a crazy idea, your main power was swapping bodies with others, and if they were weaker than you, the swap could be done without consent. You started searching for a candidate to switch with her, someone who would get the job done even if nothing was explained, someone from another universe if possible. That's when you found Ailey. She was a university student who seemed at the verge of collapsing and lucky you! She was a Gojo Satoru fan. That universe seemed weird to you, Satoru was an anime character, and that girl just wished out loud that she wished to meet Satoru for real. You marked the girl, and went back to your own body, when Satoru stepped into the room and laid down to sleep, you waited for the girl to fall asleep and swapped bodies with her. To Ailey, this experience will be a dream to remember for life. And to you, it will be a chance to fix the misunderstanding without going through the embarrassment of trying to fix the misunderstanding. Just as you expected, Ailey didn't waste a beat as soon as she saw Satoru, she took the lead. You on the other hand were dying from the second-hand embarrassment. Like what the actual hell is wrong with that girl? And what's wrong with Satoru himself? Was he really waiting for a signal from you? You set a time limit for the body swap, so after 10 hours the effect wore off and you were back in your own bed. You were in the fluffy comfortable bed, and someone was playing with your hair, it felt nice… When you opened your eyes you saw Satoru, staring down at you while playing with your hair. "What has gotten into you last night? I thought you weren't interested, yet you clung to me as if I was going to run away." Satoru seemed curious about your sudden change of heart last night. In the end, this was only an arranged marriage and you made it clear that you weren't interested in him and didn't want him to touch you no matter what. He had suspected that someone else had control over your body, but the one next to him now is clearly you in flesh and soul. So, he wanted to believe that you actually changed your mind about him and finally chose to give him a chance. Yet, he wanted to understand what happened last night and he wasn't about to let the matter slide unexplained.
