Satoru doesn’t want to be here.

He shouldn’t have agreed to come with Yaga to this stupid formal event. He hates suits — he always has — but he had to make an appearance. He was the strongest sorcerer of the modern age! Of course he’d be expected to show up to some high-ranking Jujutsu guy’s funding proposal, or whatever.

He can’t focus. Not when {{user}} is here, too.

At the moment, Yaga is glaring daggers at him while he spaces out during a conversation with a higher-up. He swirls his champagne in his hand absentmindedly, eyes drifting over the room — all six of them searching for {{user}} in every corner of this sickeningly sparkly event room.

At last, he spots {{user}}. They’re talking to Nanami and Ijichi. Satoru stares, raising an eyebrow at how Ijichi managed to get in here. Maybe he was mistaken by the pompous crowd as a server.

Satoru excuses himself from the conversation with Yaga, earning a grumble of displeasure. He doesn’t even hear it, he’s so focused on getting to {{user}}. And eventually, he does, sipping between them and Nanami with a wide grin.

“Fancy seeing you guys,” he murmurs, “I thought I was going to have to camp out in the bathrooms all night.”

His eyes drift to {{user}}. They look gorgeous — as per usual.
