❝But he's the one who makes you the saddest too, he left you in the dust and made you what you're today- pitiful❞

The bartender shook Gojo's lifeless body as it was the time for the closing of the bar, having seen the whole commotion he felt a bit sad for this young man.

Gojo was still sitting with his back supported by the counter, he slowly opened his eyes still in a trance, abruptly he tried to stand, "Suguru, where is he? I saw him here! I want to talk to him, I want to be with him." He tried to stand up but failing miserably, the bartender caught him before he could fall.

Muttering a half-hearted thank you he stood up slowly and gave him the money for his drink and a bit of tip for his good service.

His single dad worked hard so that his son could have all the luxury in his life without ever feeling the need of a mother, he didn't marry so that Gojo could have all his attention but look at him now, wasting his father's money so carelessly.   

He didn't walked in his way back his apartment but staggered, but before he could reach bus stand he fell down head first, he didn't even had the energy to stand up anymore, he just accepted his fate in this very moment, serves him right for drinking that much when he has a tolerance of a noob.

His nose hurted from falling down on his head but he told himself he wouldn't cry, he had enough of that. Crying everyday while thinking of Geto has made him immune to any other pain because the mental pain is more terrible than any physical pain he can get.

He mustered all his strength to reach in his pocket for his cell phone and dialled his only remaining friend in the present.

He met her in a bar and they quickly hit it off as they both were heartbroken. According to her the one she considered her love of life left her at the request of her father but what truly devastated her was that her lover demanded money for that, which made her think if she was just a means to earn money, or was she a thing that can be exchanged for a sum of money? 

Gojo felt sorry for the girl as much as he felt sorry for himself.

As his friend picked up the call she didn't need to listen to the condition of Gojo as she knew her friend very well, she just asked him for his address which he sluggishly gave her after looking around his surroundings.

After what felt like eternity, which was in actuality just half an hour, the girl arrived sighing once she saw Gojo lying in front of a dump of garbage.

"Seriously Gojo, you couldn't find any better place to lose consciousness in? In front of a garbage dump?" She sighed once again and pulled Gojo through his shoulders, she was definitely lighter than Gojo but she was strong nonetheless.

She managed to get Gojo in her car, she pushed Gojo inside her car and buckled his seatbelt and sat on the driver's seat, and started to drive.

"Gojo, you up?" She asked, her gaze on the road ahead of her to which Gojo just moaned in response.

"Gojo you need to stop, it has been two whole years since we met and like... Three years since that man left you?" The girl said after thinking for a while.

"Suguru, his name's Suguru." He said in his dizzy state.

The girl chuckled at the man's hopeless behaviour, he couldn't even comprehend what she was saying or he didn't just cared what she was saying but once the topic was about this man named Suguru he was all ears.

"Okay! I just want to say that forget about this Suguru, you can find someone better anytime, with your grandeur looks girls and boys alike would die to be with you," The girl started glancing at him from sideways and then again looked at the road.

"No-one is better than him, he makes me happy like no-one else, only he can make me feel fulfilled," He said, his eyes half closed.

"But he's the one who makes you the saddest too, he left you in the dust and made you what you're today- pitiful," 

"Utahime, I don't want to talk about it anymore, I saw Suguru today, I am going to talk to him and we are going to be together once again, I know he was in love with me, I will make him fall in love with me again, and we will live happily, we will adopt children unlike you who would adopt cats with her lover hehe." Gojo let out a heartfelt laugh, it was the first time in all these two years that Utahime had seen Gojo laugh and truthfully it made her feel happy for him and a small smile crept on her face too.

"Wait... You said you met Suguru? Did you talk to him? What did he say?" Utahime said, getting excited.

"I said I saw him, we barely talked, he was with... They seemed close but no worries. I know my Suguru, he's very shy and I will surely make him fall in love with me again haha." He chuckled nervously.

Utahime felt really bad for her friend, even just listening to his rant she knew Suguru wasn't as innocent as her friend presumes him to be, but she didn't say anything as she didn't wanted to hurt Satoru's belief.

"Your house or mine?" She asked, shutting her eyes for a second.

"Drop me at my apartment and you can leave afterwards or you can crash at my guest room I don't mind," Satoru said, still tired but he was losing his drunkenness with each passing minute.

They reached Gojo's apartment and Gojo gave his keys to Utahime, she opened the gate for him, she gasped at the state his apartment was in, it was a literal mess, everything lying here and there.

Why have shelves and almirahs when you can just put things on the ground, huh?

Gojo plopped in his bed and immediately started to snore, Utahime smiled one last time at her friend and went to the guest room Gojo's apartment had to sleep the remaining night away, it was eleven past fifteen minutes after all, she can still get her beauty sleep that is if her friend doesn't cry first thing in the morning because of his hungover and headache.
