Time skip.
Keitaro looked at his invention which currently had about 6 months or so worth of food inside of it.
The seal system that he had made was working just fine. Each seals were acting like a storage space, they were holding an item until that item was needed.
By pressing the seal, anyone could retrieve a specific amount of an item and if everything worked fine, the seal would showcase how much of that item was left.
It was a very efficient solution that perfectly fitted his skills, he was after all a very versatile jujutsu sorcerer.
As he finished adding the last touches to the fridge Keitaro heard the sound of soft footsteps behind him.
He turned around to see Shoko, she was looking pretty sleepy but at least she was awake now.
Upon closer inspection what she was wearing was his if the seal that he could see where anything to go by.
She had tied her long hair into a ponytail, her eyes still looked as sleepy as always.
"Good morning."
"Morning," Keitaro replied in his usual warm voice.
"I left some food for you if you're hungry."
He had almost forgotten he made the food but now that he did, he made sure to tell her about it.
Shoko nodded her head, she offered him a small smile before she headed toward the kitchen.
Keitaro watched her go.
Yep, this was how she would act when she was sober, although something felt off.
Her personality felt a bit like when she was drunk.
With his hand free for the moment, Keitaro decided to take a breather. He leaned against the counter and took in a deep breath.
Shoko was seen returning holding a plate, he could tell the food was still quite warm.
Keitaro decided to muster all the courage in his body and started a conversation.
"Hey," He tried his goddam hardest not to try and look out the window, he made sure to keep eye contact the whole time.
He did not want to be a blushing mess every time he was near her.
He needed to build some type of resistance, and the best he could think of right now would be keeping eye contact while he spoke.
"I was thinking, since we both have the day off, how about going for a walk? Get some fresh air, maybe grab a coffee or something."
He could feel it, this was taking a shit tone out of him to do but he did it regardless, why did it feel so difficult.
Suddenly his friend's word rang in his mind, the simple simp....welp he was not about to let Gojo be proven right, he was trying every calming technique he knew, even breathing techniques in order to calm himself down.
Little did he know, he was not as good as he might have thought at hiding his emotions, Shoko was able to read him like a book.
Frankly, she found it quite cute, charming even, for some reason it felt as if he looked more charming this way.
This might have been one of the reasons she had fallen for him, as she took her bite out of her food she looked at him before nodding her head.
"That sounds nice. Give me a few minutes to change though"
She could see the relief wash up on his face, that was an adorable sight.
A shame she would have to go back to work soon.
"Take your time," Keitaro said as he watched her disappear back into the bedroom.
He could hear the sound of a shower happening in the background and guessed she was fully getting ready.
He on the other hand used the second shower in the house and took a quick bath.
He was sure everything should go fine, he just had to plan where they had to go for the date.
It should be easy for someone like him, right?
She is quite nonchalant about basically everything and sometimes it is quite hard to get a reaction out of her.
She liked beers, whine, and anything made out of alcohol really, she was a smoker which was a habit he would try to make her quit.
Even if she could heal the damage with Rct he did not want her lungs to be damaged at all, plus smoking was a bad habit.
He would have to start with smaller thoughts.
She enjoys sweet stuff, she seems to kind of like bitter stuff as well.
As he was deep in his thoughts a voice pulled him out of his thoughts.
"I am ready"
His gaze was now on the woman infront of him, she looked dazzling.
The outfit was simple and yet it got the job done.
She had this pretty sweet smile on her face.
He was trying his hardest to keep himself in check.
He did make sure to compliment her on her look which seemed to have appreciated.
He needs to do this.
He was not denser than a black hole.
His courage was working over time.
