“Oh, just grabbed some food,” Geto replied casually to your question where have they been, not even realizing how much his words stung.

The three of you were always together—Gojo, Geto, and you. A trio that was inseparable from the start, always getting into trouble, laughing at inside jokes, and leaning on each other through thick and thin. But lately, you couldn't shake the feeling that things were starting to change.

It started small, like when Gojo and Geto would share a knowing glance or crack a joke you didn’t quite understand. You brushed it off at first, convincing yourself it was nothing. But then they started hanging out without you, forgetting to tell you about plans or casually mentioning things they did together as if it was an afterthought.

“Yeah, you should’ve come! It was hilarious. Geto almost choked on his drink when I—” Gojo started, but stopped as he realised they didn't even ask you about joining.

“Oh, sorry, we must’ve forgotten to text you.” Geto’s smile faltered, and he exchanged a quick glance with Gojo. “Yeah, our bad,” Gojo added, but his tone lacked the usual energy, like he didn’t really grasp how much it affected you.
