The next morning Keitaro woke up with the feeling of someone lying on his chest, he slowly and carefully made his way out of his girlfriend Grip.
He had quite a busy day infront of him, one of the things he prepared for the day.
He had to get Satoru birthday prepared quickly.
It was his friend's birthday after all.
As he got up from the bed, he felt Shoko wake up, as he looked at her, he noticed her strecthing her body
He would tend to her later.....she could take care of herself.
He made sure to text some people on the plans.
Shoko was already aware of them, she would however sleep until she was ready for it.
He opened his phone and went toward Satoru's number.
{Keitaro Namikaze}
"Yo, want to hang out"
[Satoru Gojo}
"What the occasion?"
{Keitaro Namikaze}
"Can I not want to hang out with my friend"
[Satoru Gojo}
"Change your name to Botleg Minato"
{Keitaro Namikaze}
"Why should I?"
[Satoru Gojo}
"Today is my special day"
{Botleg Minato}
"....So want to hang out or not"
[Satoru Gojo}
[Screenshot taken]
{Botleg Minato}
"....."
Time skip
Keitaro and Satoru sat down on the grassy slope by a riverbank, the water lazily flowing past as the afternoon sun cast its long shadow.
A cool breeze rustled the leaves overhead and for once in this little moment, there was no rush, no curse spirit, no training.
Just two friends hanging out.
Satoru stretched out his body, letting himself fall back onto the grass, his arms folding behind his head.
This was a peaceful moment that he was willing to enjoy.
Keitaro had called him for this.
He expected something vibrant but he was met by this peaceful place, they had gone out hiking, and there was no curse in sight, no curse energy in sight....apart from Keitaro and himself there was no residue of curse energy in this forest.
Satoru could relax, his blindfold being removed, he couldn't help but look at the sky.
"You ever wonder how many clouds there actually are in the sky?"
Keitaro who was currently in the middle of flicking small pebbles between his fingers glanced up at the sky.
"Nope. I leave that to the philosophers and bored kids in class. What's your guess, genius?"
"Ten thousand. Minimum," Satoru exclaimed with confidence as if it were an absolute fact. "Give or take a few million."
Keitaro had a rather calm expression on his face, he was lying on his back beside Satoru, the sky stretching endlessly above them.
Right. You're full of it. But sure, let's say ten thousand. Why not?"
For a while, they just watched the clouds drift, their thoughts wandering like the sky itself. After a while, Satoru spoke up again.
"Remember when we tried to build that treehouse back in junior high?"
Keitaro cringed, he could remember this memory all too well, the memory flooding back to him like he was getting hit by a cold bucket of water.
He could vividly remember the day Satoru had that horrible, horrible idea
"You mean when you insisted you knew how to use a saw and almost chopped off your own finger?".
"Hey, I was experimenting with technique!" Gojo protested, turning his head to grin at him. "And it was barely a scratch."
....
This dude had almost cut his finger off and he thought it was just a scratch...
"You bled all over the place," Keitaro added with a very dry expression on his face. "And then made me clean it up. But the treehouse was doomed from the start. We couldn't even get the platform straight."
"To be fair," Satoru said, holding up a finger, "I was distracted by the fact that you were terrible at hammering nails. You bent like half of them."
"Yeah, and whose idea was it to use rusty nails in the first place?"
"Details. That treehouse would've been legendary, though."Satoru added shrugging his shoulder as if it was not his idea to begin with.
Keitaro felt bad for Geto, the man had lost so many grade 4 curses for this project.
"Until it collapsed on us," Keitaro muttered, as he remembered the fateful day when the tree house...which was basically just a house made on one of Geto's curses had collapsed on top of him.
Shoko had warned him this would happen...
He sighed a bit as he tossed another pebble in the river watching it skip.
Satoru started doing the same but Keitaro couldn't help but notice the light red color on the rock as it was tossed by Satoru.
He was cheating.....
Keitaro tossed another rock, precisely using his technique to teleport it a short distance in such a way it looked like it wasn't even being teleported.
....
....
...
"Maybe we went overboard" Satoru added looking at the hole in the trees within a 20-mile radius.
"You think?" Keitaro added sarcastically looking at the rock-shaped hole in all of the trees.
...
...
The two placed some flex tape around the tree before whistling and walking away.
If they didnt see it then it didnt happen.
Keitaro and Satoru trotted down the road. Around them, one could see a breathtaking landscape with a bright, sunny day under a clear blue sky. Puffy, cotton-like clouds stretch across the sky.
In the foreground, a winding dirt path lined with smooth stones meanders through lush green grass, it gave off a vibe that could make anyone relax. The grass on either side of the path was tall, vibrant, and wild, dotted with small yellow flowers.
A few sturdy trees stood proudly on the right and left, their branches swaying slightly in the soft wind, casting dappled shadows onto the path.
A/N.....
"Anyway, I am bored...."A
"Video games exist"Ken
"What is he doing?" Aaron pointed out looking at Keitaro running after the shadow summon that was Mahito.
".....is he scared...?" Kenzo added with a dumbfounded expression...
He had never seen such primal fear on his shadow soldier face.
What about Keitaro that could scare him shitless like this.
"So much, come here, I won't bite, just a few experiments I want to do" Keitaro added jumping on Mahito who turned into a bird to fly away.
"oh, so he got interested in idle transfiguration..." Aaron added as he watched Seal rushing at Mahito as the curse ran as if his life depended on it.
What kind of atrocious shit was Keitaro planning to make him do...
