    Summary

    “Satoru?” The word rings, fuzzy in his ears as it whines like tinnitus, familiar and heart stopping.

    ‘I’m dead.’ He can’t even hear his own thoughts over the loudness of the world, staggering where he stands, eyes still fixated on the sky, on the sun. ‘I’m dead, I died, I felt my heart stop, this can’t be, it can’t-’

    “Hey,” it comes again, a little more urgent than before, a little closer, another hammer to his ears and all the noise shrieking behind his eyes. He recoils hard enough to go stumbling as a hand reaches for him, covered in flesh rather than empty bone, tan and recognizable. Unbelievable.

    There’s something wet trickling from his nose. Bile stings on the back of his tongue. The words dissolve into the rest of the white noise as he stares up at the blue of the sky, and tries to remember if he’d ever had a hallucination as bright as this.

    ‘I have to be dead,’ he thinks. Somehow, he isn’t.

    Or: Gojo Satoru goes back in time. He makes a couple of changes for the better.

    Summary

    Suguru squeezes his hand with a strength that should be illegal for a dying person, takes in the look on his face, and laughs.

    “Oh, Satoru,” he murmurs, “you do care.”

    His hand tightens on Suguru's shirt. He leans forward until their foreheads are touching. 

    "Of course I care," he mutters. "I've always cared."

     

    Alternatively: Satoru mourns

    Summary

    The act of tying hair is so simple, at least in the way Suguru always wears his. But the care and precision with which Satoru runs his fingers over Suguru’s scalp manages to make it feel like even a simple bun is an art form in itself.

    Or: Satoru does Suguru's hair.

    Summary

    (Here’s something that a harbinger of tragedy would never find the courage to admit: there are moments in between the bitter self-hatred and the visceral, tangible consequences of your sins in which you almost think you’re worthy of forgiveness; of second chances; of a life beyond your greatest regrets. It’s a unique brand of pain, and it looks like this:)

    “Let me help you with this,” Satoru mumbles, so quietly that it’s almost reverent.
