Curse Back to Five Summers: Best Friends Are an Excuse for Couples

"Satoru?"

But—"Why are you here?"

Gojo Satoru stretched out while lying there, and said lazily, "Of course I came back in the middle of the night. I didn't want to sleep alone, so I came to your place. You gave me the key before, so Mr. Geta won't blame me, right?"

"Eh?" Geto Suguru had just woken up and was a little confused about the situation. He was still in a daze.

Gojo Satoru happily told him, "I have two days off, so I can spend some quality time at home with Mr. Geta."

Xia Yujie said unnaturally: "I need to go to work."

"But today is Saturday, and tomorrow is the weekend."

Geto Suguru's face froze. This... he had forgotten.

Wait, Geto Xiayou finally remembered something. He suddenly sat up from the bed, turning his head around, as if looking for something.

Gojo Satoru also sat up and couldn't help asking him, "What are you looking for?"

"Where's Xiao Wu?"

"What's that, Xiao Wu?"

"Ah, no, it's a white cat, Wu, did you see the cat sleeping next to me?"

"Ah~ You mean the cat?" Gojo Satoru laughed strangely. Seeing Geto's nervous expression, he shook his head in a casual manner. "I don't know. When I came here, it was just you. There was no cat."

"How could this happen?" A perfectly healthy cat just disappeared without a trace. It would be a lie to say I wasn't worried.

But when I think about the cat, its body is snow-white without even a speck of dirt, it’s obvious that its owner helped it bathe and it’s well taken care of.

Perhaps, it just missed home, so it left quietly after I fell asleep.

Thinking about it this way, this cat is really gentle and considerate. It didn't leave when he was awake, but left after he fell asleep.

Gojo Satoru leaned against the bed and asked Geto Xiayou with a slightly sour tone, "Why, I've only been away for a few days, and you, Mr. Xiayou, can't stand being lonely and brought a stray cat home?"

Xia Yujie glared at him in anger and told him not to talk nonsense.

Gojo Satoru wasn't annoyed, but he said nastily, "You called it Xiaowu, is it based on my name?"

Geto Summer Oil: “……!!!”

Seeing that Geto Suguru was silent, Gojo Satoru suddenly stood up and came over.

That handsome face instantly enlarged in front of Geto Suguru. Gojo Satoru put one hand on Geto Suguru's face with a teasing smile.

"Hey, Jie, I'm right here. Why are you looking for a substitute?"

Stand-in?

How can a cat rise to the level of a stand-in?

Xia Yujie hurriedly defended himself, "I...how could I?"

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows, his joking tone becoming stronger. His lips moved as he said disdainfully, "It's just a substitute, but the other party is actually a cat, tsk..."

Geto Suguru was still worried, so he ran to the balcony and living room in his slippers to check. The windows were closed and the door was locked from the inside. When Gojo Satoru came back, he said he didn't see the cat, so how did the cat get out?

Xia Yujie rubbed his temples, wondering if he had not slept well recently and that was why he had hallucinations.

Hallucinations had occurred during the worst period of my life. Could it be...

"Is there no cat at all? Is it just my imagination?"

He turned around and walked towards the bedroom with a bit of disappointment. His toes accidentally kicked something. Xia Yujie looked down and saw that it was a plate with a small fish on it.

He put this here for Xiaowu to eat yesterday. He was worried that the cat would be hungry at night after eating only one pudding, so even though the cat didn't eat it at that time, Xia Yujie still didn't put it away, thinking that the cat could get up and eat it by itself when it was hungry at night.

As usual, the fish did not move, so he could conclude that the cat existed and was a cat that did not like to eat fish.

While Geto Suguru was staring at the plate of fish in a daze, Gojo Satoru was already standing at the bedroom door with his arms folded. Seeing Geto Suguru standing there motionless, Gojo Satoru couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and smile.

"Is that fish for the cat?"

Geto Xia Yu glanced at him and nodded.

Gojo Satoru's smile deepened. He said, "Maybe it just doesn't like eating raw fish. If you scrape off the scales and remove the internal organs, and cook it, it might like it."

"Huh?" Gojo Satoru's statement was completely unexpected by Geto Suguru. He was a little confused. "Is a cat as particular about fish as humans are?"

Gojo Satoru raised his eyebrows uncomfortably, "Who knows, maybe."

Geto Xiayou sighed, picked up the plate with the small fish, walked to the kitchen, threw the dead fish into the trash can, and washed the plate.

He was a little unhappy about the cat's disappearance, but he still said, "Let's do this next time. Maybe it will like it."

Geto Suguru's attention was all on a cat, which made Gojo Satoru very unhappy.

"Hey, Jie," he walked over calling Jie's name. Jie turned his head to look at him, but was hugged by Gojo Satoru from behind.

Geto Suguru was stunned, blankly feeling the warmth from behind him. He also tilted his face slightly, and Gojo Satoru leaned his face on Geto Suguru's left shoulder as if on purpose.

The tip of his nose rubbed against Geto Suguru's cheek intentionally or unintentionally. He spoke like a spoiled child with a lazy tone.

"I finally came back, but you didn't even look at me properly. You kept talking about a cat. What's going on?"

"I……"

"Am I not as important as a cat in Mr. Getsu's eyes?"

Gojo Satoru's voice was very soft, and the hot air he exhaled while speaking hit his jawline, and coupled with the ends of his hair, it made Geto Suguru very uncomfortable.

He struggled a bit, trying to break free. This dangerous posture made him feel both thrilled and uneasy.

However, Gojo Satoru's arms were like two steel cables, firmly restraining him.

Gojo Satoru's arm passed through his armpit, coincidentally avoiding the wound on his left abdomen.

"Let me go first."

"No," Gojo Satoru refused bluntly. He rubbed Geto Suguru's cheek with the tip of his nose, his tone a little pitiful.

He said, "We haven't seen each other for exactly a week. I miss you so much after such a long time."

"..." Xia Yujie did not struggle anymore. His teeth bit the inner wall of his lower lip, his throat rolled up and down, but his heartbeat had already become irregular.

Xia Yujie didn't say anything, which made Gojo Satoru feel a little unhappy. He rubbed his cheek again and asked him, "What do you mean by not talking? Don't you want to?"

How could you not want to?

Geto Suguru felt like he was missing Gojo Satoru like crazy. The more he tried to control his love for him, the more he couldn't help but think of him.

I think about it when I'm checking documents for records in the office, I think about it during breaks in class, I think about it on my way to and from get off work, I think about it while eating, and even before I go to sleep.

He had never done this before. He would secretly pray before going to bed every day, praying that he could see Gojo Satoru in his dreams.

His love for Gojo Satoru and his longing for him have reached such a morbid level.

However, Geto Suguru was very scared. He felt that he was a mental patient and was afraid that he would scare Gojo Satoru in this state.

He has always tried hard to act like a normal person with stable emotions in front of Gojo Satoru. If one day, Gojo Satoru finds out that he is not such a gentle person, will he still like him as much as he does now?

However, the mouth escaped the control of the brain and said the words "I miss you" before the brain gave a negative instruction.
