Chapter 30: Chapter 29 - Movie Date?
A few days after the death-paintings incident,
"I said cancel it!" Nobara said firmly.
"Why should we cancel it? I was looking forward to watch a movie in a cinema because it has been a while I've gone there." Itadori complained.
"I also want to go to...but.." Junpei paused.
"Are you idiot? That..Nakamura literally dragged Gojo sensei to a cinema! Do you know what that means?"
"What does that mean?" Itadori asked.
"You're beyond hopeless!" Nobara shouted, "Anyway, I don't want to watch those two flirt in anyway. If you want to go, go to a different cinema."
"What about Fushiguro?" Junpei asked.
"I don't care." Megumi shrugged but he also didn't go to the cinema.
"Fine, I'll just send her a message." Itadori sighed.
----------------------
Sachiko waited for her classmates in front of the cinema with Gojo. This afternoon, she suddenly wanted to go watch a movie with her classmates and when she called her classmates who went shopping, they agreed. But when she said she also dragged Gojo to the cinema with her, their reactions were a bit strange.
"Why're they not coming yet?" Sachiko frowned as she checked the time. It was already 3 p.m. and movie showtime was 3:15 p.m.
It was when Itadori sent a message to her.
"Sorry, we won't make it by 3:15. Kugisaki's still on shopping spree and we can't escape from her :(" Sachiko read the message out loud.
"Hm? That's a pity then. This movie seemed interesting." Gojo said as he adjusted his sunglasses.
"Yeah.." Sachiko nodded in reply.
"Well, since they're not coming, let's go in." Gojo said with a chuckle.
"Right."
Sachiko quickly followed Gojo into the cinema.
Gojo bought two tickets for them at the counter.
"Do you want anything to drink?" Gojo turned to Sachiko and asked. Because of the sudden shift in angle, the sunglasses fall down by a few centimetres revealing Gojo's ocean blue eyes.
"Umm..Cola and Popcorn is fine." Sachiko blushed as she ended up staring into the blue eyes.
Gojo nodded, adjusting his sunglasses again before turning back to the counter.
"Alright , two cola and popcorn then. Oh, right, please make them the biggest size."
Sachiko wondered why Gojo bought one popcorn when he could have bought two. Maybe he didn't want any? She thought.
"Here's your Cola." Gojo handed her the Cola after paying. "Let's share the popcorn?"
Sachiko froze when Gojo said that.
"....Why?"
She meant to ask it in her own head but somehow it ended up as a question she asked out loud.
Gojo chuckled and said, "Well, why bother buying two when we can just share one? Besides, I think popcorn will taste better if I share it with you~."
"...."
It took a few seconds for Sachiko to process what Gojo just said. When she fully got what Gojo said, she couldn't help but blush more.
"Let's ....let's go..The movie..is going to start." She stuttered a bit.
"Alright. Let's go." Gojo said with a laugh.
They walked to the theatre together and as soon as they entered, they saw only a few people. It was daytime on a weekday, after all.
Sachiko quickly walked up the stairs first to find the seats, hoping that not seeing Gojo's back with every step she takes was enough to stop her blushing. However , at one point, she stumbled over a stair in the darkness, losing balance a bit. Gojo swifly caught her in his arms. Gojo's hands were touching her waist and Sachiko blushed even further.
"Umm..thanks..for catching me. It's really dark in here." Sachiko let out a nervous laugh.
Gojo nodded and let go of her slowly.
Sachiko didn't know why she had a feeling that Gojo was somewhat reluctant.
Maybe her mind was a mess and thinking weirdly...
After spending about a minute, they found the seats and sat down quietly. Gojo put the popcorn in the cup holder between their seats.
Sachiko expected Gojo would say something but he didn't say a word after the previous accident , which was a bit out of character.
The movie starts playing after a minute or so and Sachiko struggled to pay attention to it. Now that she think about it, it was almost like a movie date with Gojo and she bit her lips nervously.
As she was busy with her own thoughts, she didn't even notice Gojo looking at her every a few seconds. Gojo found her weirdly adorable when she blushed like that and that made him want to tease her more.
After a few minutes, Sachiko finally relaxed and her hand made her way to the popcorn.
Gojo also grabbed the popcorn at the same time.
Their hands touched.
Sachiko froze for a few seconds, not knowing how to react. Gojo didn't pull away his hand either.
"Umm...you..you can have it first, sensei." Sachiko said quietly, retracting her hand.
She wasn't sure if Gojo's face expression a bit darkened at that. He didn't say anything as he simply nodded and grabbed some popcorn.
Throughout the movie, their hands accidentally touched a few more times to the point until Sachiko wasn't sure if they were really accidents.
"Sensei....."
"Shhhh....call me Satoru~" Gojo whispered. The tone was rather playful but there was a tinge of command as Sachiko felt like she couldn't refuse him. Or maybe it was just a part of his charm.
"But..." She wanted to protest because it wasn't appropriate but she knew it also wasn't that appropriate to have feelings for Gojo in the first place.
"I..." Sachiko didn't find any words to say.
Should she just call him Satoru?
She figured she wanted to.
"Sa..Satoru..."
Despite the darkness, she saw Satoru's lips curled up into a small smile at that and Satoru tilted his head closer to her.
Satoru's lips were so dangerously close to her own and she felt her heartbeats becoming faster.
The sunglasses dropped a few centimetres and she could see Satoru's blue eyes staring into her hazel eyes.
It was like Satoru was searching something in her.
She didn't notice she held her breath.
She heard Satoru's soft chuckle.
Then, their lips met.
The kiss was soft and brief just long enough to feel the warmth of Satoru's lips against her own but she felt like a hundred butterflies were in her stomach.
Satoru broke the kiss gently and looked into her eyes again, not bothering to readjust his sunglasses.
Sachiko was a mess. Even in the dark theatre, Satoru could clearly see how her cheeks turned redder and how she struggled to talk to him. He was about to open his mouth to tell her something when he felt her lips against her.
It was a bit awkward and there was a tinge of hestitation from Sachiko even if she was the one who initiated the kiss this time. But, Satoru had no intention of settling with a brush of his lips against hers this time. So, he deepened the kiss and all Sachiko could focus on was how soft and warm his lips felt against her own. She didn't know how much time passed or notice how she was running out of breath.
When Satoru broke the kiss this time, he took his time to admire how Sachiko's lips looked like after their kiss.
"So, dinner after this?" Satoru asked.
"Like a date?" Sachiko blushed.
"Of course." Satoru grinned.
Sachiko nodded with a smile. "I think I would like that."

AN:
Another short chapter here!
Am I moving too fast with Gojo and Sachiko?
But, technically, there were a lot of chances to get close for the two since Sachiko had been training with Gojo and it had been mentioned that Gojo actually realized his feelings somewhat so...
Tbh, I actually wanted to make the slow burn romance type with them but because of how I planned the later chapters, I thought I should put some romance before everything went to you know ...
So, tell me your thoughts on this?
