“You are hereby sentenced to two years of imprisonment in the cursed dungeons. Should you survive, your fate shall be discussed.” A man uttered.
They were lucky they sat behind a screen, that they had the privilege of keeping their identity a secret, for Geto Suguru was a vengeful man. And even if he gave up on his ambitions to create out a world without sorcerers, he was still just as hostile and horrible. A sardonic laugh erupts out of him. “What an honour. Only two years?” he knew that for his crimes, death was the only befitting consequence, yet he finds himself carrying out the tamest of sentences in comparison.
The ice around his heart thaws ever slightly as he turns his head towards his lifelong best friend. He realises apologies and gratitude are in order, but the look on Satoru’s face is enough to keep him silent. Guilt ebbs at his soul in a funny way; he thought the emotion was long discarded. But rationality always lost to the pain of betrayal. Its why Satoru negotiated, practically threatened to kill them, if they hadn’t agreed to this. He refused to lose any more people in his life, and certainly not the same person twice. Not when he just got Suguru back.
“I’m sorry.” Suguru whispered as he was hauled away. He didn’t fight back, not when he didn’t have anything to fight for. He remembers why he gave up his ideal world. What’s a world worth living in if it didn’t with the people you love most. His mind flashes back to his daughters, Mimiko and Nanako, as they kneeled before him, begging him to not go through with everything. He always knew he couldn’t deny them anything. This time wasn’t any different.
Satoru didn’t need to reply to him for Suguru to understand what he wanted. Try.
On the other side of Tokyo, somewhere far away from the higher-ups, you sat in a dingy room, waiting patiently for your fate. You knew you weren’t destined for great things. The Zenin clan had no need for a ‘monkey’ like you who didn’t have any cursed energy. You weren’t like Toji-san or Maki-chan, who had a profound ability in wielding weapons. You were bang on average, with nothing but your intelligence to show for you. But what did intelligence matter when you couldn’t find a husband.
Now, with your clan in such a perilous predicament, you feel even more useless than before. Blaming Maki was out of the question. Not when you applauded her with all your might on the inside. She needed to reclaim the parts they took from her. it’s what this godforsaken place did – you knew it first-hand. They took and took and took until you had nothing left to give.
And the only solution to improve their standing and reinstate themselves as one of the great clans was to marry you- the lowly expendable off. You thought to yourself, why me, but the answer became apparent long before you found out who your husband was. They needed a sacrifice. That was the only logical solution to you. There was no way they would entrust you with this unless they believed you wouldn’t make it out alive. Desperation attracts mindless alliances, and there were only a few families in such a position like yours was. Those who would even be willing to fraternise with the Zenin clan.
It was only after you found out who your husband was that you really saw it. You were going to die in that marriage.
Suguru made peace with Satoru’s words. For his sake. He didn’t need to love non-sorcerers to understand Satoru’s point of view. It was a given, why he thought like that. He just couldn’t smile in the face of all the suffering he’s endured at the hands of people who would celebrate at his death.
And so, for the entirety of his confinement, he sparred with his own mind, cultivating arguments and carefully dismantling them in an attempt to rationalise his world view. Did the suffering he endured really constitute a mass genocide? Did the burden of protecting non-sorcerers befall him all because he was endowed with cursed energy?
Ieri was a common visitor. There was no denying how much she missed her friend. And for all the stories she’s heard of how the man before her changed, he seemed pretty much the same to her. He still smiled, still threw out the same jokes.
Satoru was a less common visitor, but one Suguru couldn’t help but wait for. He missed his friend. It was never his intention to blindly hurt him, and he knew Satoru would be able to see that. Through all his flaws, Gojo always had a knack for dissecting his thought process perfectly.
They would talk for hours, and eventually Suguru began to understand. Killing so many people wasn’t feasible. They couldn’t control how he felt on the inside however, and the inferno that burned in his chest at the thought of ‘monkeys’ almost ate him from the inside out.
The only thing that kept him grounded were the constant visit from his daughters. They never relented, always showing him love even if he felt like he never deserved it. he wasn’t proud of himself. What kind of example was the setting for them.
“Geto-Sama,” Mimiko whined. “Give us attention. You’re always in your head.” And again, he tried.
It seemed like trying got him to where he needed to be, and as Geto Suguru stood outside of the chambers he was confined to for the past two years, he promised to never take freedom for granted ever again.
Satoru stood before him, eyeing him like a spectacle. The years aided their friendship. It’s not what it used to be, and it never will be, but it was nice, and that was enough. Suguru’s unsure of whether he reached in first, but suddenly, the bone crushing hug he was held in became less of a cage and more of a shield.
He needed to learn to cherish the better things in life, to have a more … positive outlook. Well, if you discount his hatred for non-sorcerers.
And now, standing in front of the higher ups once again, the dreadful feeling never gets old, he doesn’t know what to expect.
“You’ve completed your sentence partially.” The words make his ears twitch up. Anger flares in his veins. Satoru stiffens next to him, and immediately Suguru feels like he’s in a trap. Sheepishly, Gojo takes his hands out of his pocket, holding a pair of black manacles in his hands.
“I’ve imbued these with cursed energy. They prevent you from using your cursed energy beyond the level of a grade four sorcerer.” Satoru attempts to rationally explain everything, annoyed that the higher ups are interfering.
“Be thankful to the boy next to you, traitor. If it was up to us, you would have no cursed energy at all. He insisted that should you need to defend yourself; you should be allowed to.” Suguru can feel his jaw clench with each word.
“How long” he supposes he should have seen this coming. Why would they let him use his power freely, not knowing what he could do. He wouldn’t, but the darker parts of him yield to how dangerous they consider him.
“For the foreseeable future. When you’re no longer deemed a threat, you can remove them. You should also know, anytime you activate your technique, I’ll feel it.”
“And lastly, you’ve left your clan in absolute disarray. They’re ever so eager to return to their standing, taking radical approaches.” One of the men goads.
Suguru’s confused. “I’m sure you’ve heard of the fate of the Zenin clan” at the mention of it, he remembers the monkey girl Maki. He smiles to himself, cavalier and condescending, surprised that she was ever capable of doing something like that.
“Well, they’ve agreed to marry you off to one of their own.” Marriage? He whips his head around to Satoru who looks at him with one of helplessness. There’s nothing he could do here, not when he’s already stuck his neck so far out for him.
“To whom?” Suguru’s patience is wearing very thin. He won’t take another condition, the pressure of everything else already making him suffocate. And it’s like the final nail in the coffin when they utter your name. He’s heard of you faintly, lumped in with the likes of Toji and Maki, but somehow, you’re even worse.
While they’ve obtained a semblance of physical prowess, you’re determined to lie in the shit you were born into, and Suguru’s unsure what disgusts him more. The fact that you have no cursed energy, or no intelligence.
The reality sets in like one hundred weights and he can almost feel himself becoming violently ill at the mere thought of being in the same room as you. he’s developed some sort of Pavlovian reaction to non-sorcerers. The thought of them making him viscerally sick.
Satoru can’t help but laugh at him in the car. it almost feels like the old days – he just really hopes Suguru doesn’t kill you.
The first time you meet your husband-to-be is on your wedding day. You’d heard enough monstrous stories to know you weren’t safe. But you couldn’t run. If death was your fate, then you’ll walk towards it with your head held high.
You didn’t believe the stories of his reformation for even one second. Nobody rids themselves of that much enmity in two years. You were everything he couldn’t stand for, and you were going to be his wife.
You stood in your kimono in front of him, and he couldn’t even muster the courage to glance at you. You looked beautiful in your white dress, it’s a shame he wouldn’t spare a glance. But you were free to look at him. the infamous Geto Suguru was a gorgeous man. Inky black hair, half of it tucked into a bun with the other rests down his back.
He was massive, you had to crane your head just to get a good look at him. he could feel your eyes on him, and he kept his gaze ahead. He was in an impossible situation. You brushed past him, and he wanted to spray himself with disinfectant. Rationally, he knew it wasn’t your fault, but he simply couldn’t help himself.
His entire life went to shit because of your kind.
“Is this how it’s always going to be” you asked him. his gaze remained forward- as did yours. You couldn’t bear to look at him. not when you were certain he was going to ruin your life.
“I won’t be good to you.”
“I don’t want to be anything to you. I want you as far away from me as possible.” And good God, the joy in your heart was immeasurable. He didn’t want to hurt you, he wanted to not be near you. happiness bloomed inside you. Moments ago, you made peace with the fact that you’d probably be laying on the cold slab of your new home with your throat slit open.
You would gladly resign yourself to a life of solitude if it meant you could still live.
“You’ll have your wish. Let us try and put on an act for now.” You stifled your emotions, both of your trying your best to not show mutual horror when they mentioned an heir.
Geto Suguru was the worst husband on the planet, and he could not give less of a fuck. He refused to dedicate even a millisecond of his time towards someone like you. it’s like the small understanding you built withered away right in front of both of your eyes.
Three months later, he’s at your throat and you’re blissfully unaware. You wish you could say what soured your relationship, or what little of it you both had, but that’s a losing game.
Geto was livid. When he saw the life you lived, how much of a simpleton you were, he couldn’t believe it. other people, his friends, were dying all to sustain this lifestyle. You needed to die, and it was a damn shame the cuffs bound to his wrists stopped him.
Control yourself. He willed his mind. he’s come too far for his silly wife to get him right back to where he started. He didn’t really want to kill you, he just needed out of your vicinity.
But you were everywhere, your hair, your tools, your fucking perfume. It rotted Geto from the inside out to the point where simple tasks became verbal sparrings.
“Would you want anything for dinner, Suguru?” you were on a first name basis now. You didn’t even consult him. He nitpicked at each and every thing you did. He was your husband. Of course you were going to call him by his name.
“I can’t eat anything you touch. You know this.” you should really stop trying. But you resolved to do everything that’s required of a wife, and if that’s making dinner every night, then so be it. if it were up to you, he would fucking starve. But there was no point in making a slippery slope steeper now was there.
“Asshole” still, you couldn’t stop yourself from muttering the words, it’s like you were on autopilot. And it must have been your unlucky day, because your husband heard you. whipping his head around, he stared you, astounded by your audacity.
You dare insult him? You’re lucky he’s not tearing apart every single inch of you right now. But Suguru’s never claimed to be a nice man, and if you needed a reminder, he was more than willing to give it to you. Standing up, he inched his way towards you. This was one of the first times he’s looked your directly in the eyes, violet hues boring holes into your own.
You’ve never been one for close contact, naturally, you turn your head away from him, but your husband doesn’t like it when people don’t listen to him. grabbing a hold of the paper he was reading, he tucks in under your chin, lifting your gaze back up to his.
You wore a defiant look and if it were up to him, he would wipe it off you in a heartbeat. “Repeat that.” it wasn’t a request. Suguru doesn’t request for things. It was a demand, one that went straight to your core. His authoritative nature spoke to you in a way you couldn’t understand.
But you were never one to back down. “I said you’re an ass-“ you felt the familiar pressure of cursed energy before you saw his eyes begin to glint. It was barely a flicker, if anything a testament to how well controlled his cursed energy was, but for someone like you, it felt like the weight of a thousand tonnes.
He had your back to wall, and it was this moment when Suguru really saw you. You were so gorgeous, it only pissed him off more. How dare you look like that and be one of those. Your eyes looked up at him with such a helpless glance , he almost lost control of himself.
“Apologise.” If you thought he was ever going to let you go without stripping you of your dignity, you were sorely mistaken. But you knew when to accept defeat. You weren’t going to provoke him.
“I’m sorry, Suguru.” He regards you once, up and down in such disgust. If only you knew its self-hatred for how much he liked hearing the apology slip from your lips.
“Your kind never knows how to behave. Go wash your hands – twice, and wear gloves.” Every single bone in your body was telling you to slap him across the face, but you had your wits about you. You can’t lose control with someone so volatile.
So, you made him a meal, washed your hands thrice for good measure and presented it to him an hour later. The man before you was an enigma, and as you were preparing his meal, you realised. No book you buried your nose in could be half as interesting as Geto Suguru.
You offered him the plate, watched him reluctantly take a bite, almost like you poisoned it. That’s when you decided to drop your first invitation. “Being able to practice jujutsu doesn’t mean your life has an intrinsic value over mine, Suguru.” He watched you peculiarly, wondering why you were saying this.
Were you looking for another argument? “Have a good night. I hope you’re sleeping better than I am here.” with that, you turned on your heels and walked up the stairs towards your bedroom.
Of course you had separate bedrooms. Of course he hasn’t touched you with a ten-foot pole. Your fingers have had to do the trick for all these years of your life, and you presume it’s going to stay that way. You assumed you were quite younger than him. He was around twenty-nine. Surely he wasn’t a virgin like you were.
It didn’t matter anyways. He wouldn’t fuck you if he was getting paid to. In the back of your mind, you were hoping he would come after you and offer a profound rebuttal. You really weren’t goading him – you wanted to understand your husband. Maybe you were more depraved than you like to admit. The thought that he massacred a village in his youth doesn’t scare you in the slightest. On the contrary, the macabre nature of it all intrigued you.
You were certain you could dismantle and deconstruct each of his arguments. This wasn’t a noble act from you. You didn’t care for making your husband ‘see the light’. You just wanted to win this argument you started in your head. Mind you, Suguru hadn’t even consented to joining in.
Geto is, as much as he hates to admit it, interested in you. He pegged you as the brainless type, but your far from it. Even if your ideology is completely wrong, at least you were open to logical arguments. He didn’t sleep any better than you that night, tossing and turning to try and figure out his wife.
Eventually he came to the simplest conclusion he could. If he could make you see that you were indeed a brainless monkey, maybe you would behave yourself and not step out of line. The thought had him so relaxed, he drifted right off to bed.
It was decided then, your ever so benevolent husband was going to help you understand, since you clearly didn’t get it yourself.
The first repartee emerged just as you tended to a wound after you cut yourself. He watched you in awe, how could you be rendered useless from such a small cut. In your defence, it was quite large, but to Suguru, it may as well have been a papercut.
“This is the life you think has as much value as mine?” His voice, serpentine, creeps up from behind you and coils around your spine. Excitement almost has you spinning around in a frenzy, but you calm yourself. You’ve been biding your time for a while now.
Turning around slowly, you level him with a pensive look, stunned at the sight of him lazily leaning on the countertop. The kitchen island separates the two of you, and the tension between you two could pierce your skin. Your husband is a gorgeous man, glasses perched low on the strong bridge of his nose. He wears a simple shirt, starkly different from his usual attire.
“Good afternoon to you too.” you utter as you take a seat opposite him, holding a tissue to your wound. Holding up the wound, you both watch as a glob of blood trickles down your thumb. The action is strangely hedonistic to Suguru, he thinks as he forces himself to look away.
“You bleed the same colour as me Suguru. At the end of the day, we’re both just humans.”
“You don’t get it.” he scoffs “You could never survive the things I could.” You heed his words, nodding along.
