RABBIT HOLE
PAIRING: GOJO X READER
WARNING: obsessive behavior, implied kidnapping, kinda insanity
You’ve been told countless times that your curiosity has led you into danger, especially when you were young. It even cost you to disappear for a lengthy period of time, which almost gave your parents a heart attack and your grandparents reason to believe in otherworldliness.
So when they saw you near the rabbit hole of the backyard in your grandparents house, they were shocked. How could you be there when they’ve searched the estate and backyard multiple times already?
Nevertheless, all questions were halted as they rushed you to the hospital.
"You don’t know where you went?" You can still remember your mother’s question and the looks the adults gave each other.
You shook your head and asked, "Where’s Satoru?"
The look is back, as if you’d lost your mind. "Satoru? Who is that, sweetheart?"
"He’s my friend! I told you about him! We always play together in the backyard."
But the adults are still confused and alarmed. They obviously don't know who you’re referring to.
For your sanity and wellbeing, your parents decided to never return to your grandparents estate ever again.
Until now.
Your grandmother’s funeral is a quiet affair. No one knows what to say or do now that the matriarch of your family is gone, so you just offer your silent company.
Next to you, your beloved is talking quietly with your mother while eating a cake. You never understood the hype around sweets. A family friend offered you condolences when you saw something. Someone is looking at you from afar dressed in an all-black outfit and wearing pitch-black shades. He smiled when you saw him and turned away.
With a quick kiss and a word, you excused yourself from the gathering and made your way to the backyard.
You thought he was a fever dream, but he’s real! You knew he was real! You were right this entire time, despite your parents saying otherwise.
"Hey! Excuse me!" He didn’t stop walking. "Satoru? Is that you?"
He’s just walking faster. "Satoru! Wait up. Don’t you remember me?"
You cursed when you almost tripped. Stupid shoes. You felt a lot better when you removed it, but you noticed that you’re all alone now and the estate is far away.
Where did he run off to? "Satoru? Sat-AHHHH"
You landed with a loud thud. What the hell was that? You look around; it looks like you’re still in the estate, but everything is different. Instead of the estate, you saw a big castle. Bigger than the ones you’ve seen during your outings. And everything seems so familiar yet unfamiliar.
And the person you were chasing chuckled before helping you up.
"Still clumsy," he says as he gives you a once-over. "Miss me?"
All words were forgotten as you hit him. "You didn’t even stop!"
Satoru has been your friend since you can remember. It’s hard to wrap your mind around the concept that he’s from another world—another dimension. How he could go to your world, you have no idea, but you suppose it’s the same way you can go to his world.
You rediscover each other’s lives again. You go on to tell him about your life in the city, the therapists that you see from time-to-time because they are afraid you’ve gone insane, your family, friends, hobbies, and your fiance.
Satoru tells you about his friends, the workers who often visit you at the tea parties, and his kingdom; he shows you his abilities but never his family. You figured it was a touchy subject.
And you discovered each other in a much more intimate way. You don’t know when it started; you just know that it did. Maybe it’s because you miss and long for each other so much. Maybe it was everything and nothing, but what you know is that you like it—love it even.
You love what he makes you feel; you love his hands holding onto yours, his body against yours, and his lips on yours.
What you’re doing is wrong and an injustice to everyone involved. You, your fiance, and him, but you couldn’t stop. You don’t know how to stop, and it seems like Satoru doesn’t know how to stop either.
But you know better how perfect his control is; he just doesn’t want to stop.
It didn’t even occur to you how much time had passed until you saw the pocket watch in his hand.
"Satoru? How much time has passed?"
"Hmm..." he says, eyeing you. "Not much. You should try this cake! It’s your favorite."
He pushes the cake to you, and you couldn’t refuse. You saw the faint smirk on his face before your mind became heavy. "You belong here, love. You belong with me."
Something’s wrong. Your memory is foggy, your body is heavy, and it feels like you're floating through time. You feel like you're involved in something dangerous. What are they feeding you? You tried to remember, but all you remember is the delicious food during meal times and your favorite cake during tea times.
Your favorite cake? Since when do you like sweets?
You felt sick. You need to leave. Your family needs you. Your fiance needs you. What did Satoru do to you?!
Satoru wouldn’t do this to you, right?
But he already did, your mind whispers.
But he doesn’t know that you already know, and you can use that to your advantage. You can’t outsmart him forever, but just one chance is enough. A sneak attack.
The next time Satoru fed you the cake, you pretended to swallow it and pretended that it worked. When he left to attend palace affairs, you vomited the cake and immediately ran like crazy towards the palace garden, looking for a way out, when you noticed a familiar hole.
You crawled out of the rabbit hole, your clothes are dirty, and you're shivering. You realized it's autumn. You came here in the spring.
You ran like mad towards the estate, shouting, and you saw your family and fiance.
"My dear, don’t make us worry like that again!" your mother sobbed, clutching onto you. "Where did you go?!"
You couldn’t tell them the truth, so you just told a half-truth. That you don’t know. You just woke up on the estate in these clothes, with no memory of where you've been or what happened. You could tell by the looks your aunts and uncles shared that they were all thinking the same thing.
"It’s your childhood all over again!" your mother lamented. "This house is cursed!"
Seeing that your grandmother left the estate to your father in her will, your family decided to sell the estate as soon as possible, and you helped out with the logistics. Who gets what, and what will go to charities.
You thought keeping busy would make you forget the time you spent down the rabbit hole, but it didn’t. The dreams just keep reminding you of it and him; the memories couldn’t just unhappen.
And the way your eyes constantly wander towards the rabbit hole unnerves you just as much as it does your fiancé.
You thought that you wanted to be back here in the real world. In the arms of your beloved, in the company of your family and friends, but you could tell that it's not the same anymore.
Where did you truly belong? You know the answer isn’t in this world anymore.
The huge fight happened when you saw the rabbit hole gone, filled with dirt.
"What’s so wrong about that?" your fiance said when you confronted them. "It’s making you behave irrationally! I don’t know why you obsess over it!"
You’re dumbfounded. Why keep obsessing over it?
(Where did you truly belong? You know the answer isn’t in this world anymore.)
Because you belong there.
"We should just leave this place immediately. The reading of the will is done. Nothing keeps us here anymor-"
"Screw you!" you shouted, leaving your fiance behind.
You miss him. You miss the blue eyes, the insanely good looks, the insanity, and the thirst for that insatiable desire and passion for each other.
You laughed and cried while digging the rabbit hole. You’re right, Satoru. You were right.
And when you landed in the arms of the person you’ve been dreaming of, you sighed in relief because you’re finally back to who you wanted to be with—your own wonderland.
I MISS WRITING ABOUT HIM! FIRST TIME IN 2023 I THINK??
