17. Kenji Yamamoto

"Uta, is everything alright?" That man questioned when he saw Gojo standing next to Yoshio.

That gentleman was only a few years younger than Utahime

He was tall and average about 1.85 cm

He had beautiful dark hair and striking green eyes.

He was dressed casually and was notable for wearing a jacket from Utahime's favorite baseball team.

He was a very handsome man who could easily draw sighs from his walk.

Gojo was still shocked to see how Utahime had kissed that man in front of his nose

Both boyfriends radiated sweetness

Utahime delicately caressed her boyfriend's cheek while he rested his hand on her waist... that waist that minutes ago Gojo had taken in his hands

The albino felt several negative feelings at that moment:

Jealousy, envy, sadness...they were such a negative accumulation that they seemed to be stabbed directly to the heart and his trembling hands reflected that sorrow

Is this feeling what Utahime was referring to? Did she feel that same pain when she saw him kiss another woman?

Yoshio noticed the change in his father's cursed energy as he watched that situation

And a slight evil smile appeared on his face, an "advantageous" idea crossed his mind at that moment

Gojo looks red at that guy in front of himI look at him from head to toe and notice that this one did not have a bit of damn energy

"Tsk, A muggle!"— was his first contemptuous thought

That was a very low and strong blow to his ego

That silence was interrupted by Utahime, who answered her boyfriend's question

"Everything is fine my love" She kiss the corner of him lips once more

"He's Yoshio's father and he just came to talk to me about visitation and stuff... You know." Utahime slightly moved her face, raising her chin a little with a big smile of satisfaction.

Seeing that idiot's annoyed face made her feel like she'd hit a homerun.

Gojo 0
Utahime 1

"Oh, I see!" that man approached to greet Gojo in a formal way

"A plesure, I'm Yamamoto Kenji!" He stretched out his right hand with a big smile.

That man radiated too much peace with that stupid and perfect smile

He didn't seem to be a bad guy

Gojo looked at Utahime for a moment

She was really making fun of him with a superb smile

"IN YOUR FACE"

Gojo could hear her say without needing to utter a word

The sorcerer returned his sight to the subject in front of him

"Gojo Satoru"—his voice sounded a bit muffled—"Yes, it's a pleasure..."—he shook his hand

That man kept smiling—"I hope we get along and more so if we are going to be part of the same family!"

Gojo only faked a smile. "Yes... of course... I hope so," he said through clenched teeth.

That handshake was taking too long

The albino squeezed with some force the hand of the one who would be his love rival

He felt pure jealousy for that guy—"Utahime What did he see in this idiot?" he questioned herself mentally

His mind was full of thoughts at that moment

"I am better than him! He is a nobody! Utahime should notice me! There must be a way to get rid of this asshole!" He squeezed Kenji's hand tighter and tighter.

If it wasn't for Yoshio giggling at the sight of those two, Gojo would most likely have smashed his hand.

"hahaha ummm um Dad..." Yoshio cleared his throat

"Oh, true, to what was coming!" Gojo replied letting go of Kenji's hand.

"I-I guess I'll let you guys talk quietly." Kenji discreetly rubbed his hand as Gojo left a red mark from the pressure.

Kenji then bowed down in a gentlemanly manner to say goodbye to Yoshio.

"See you champion, you made a great play in that training" he put his hand on that boy's hair and messed it up a bit

That boy let out a genuine laugh of joy

Gojo opened his eyes in horror and his jaw wanted to drop to see how his own son was lovingly responding to another man.

Utahime looked at the annoyed face the albino was making.

She tried to contain her laughter as she crossed her arms and bit her lip in happiness.

"See you Kenji chan, thanks for taking me to my training and hopefully we'll see each other again soon to eat ice cream together" Yoshio said tenderly as his little arms wrapped around the that man's neck in a hug

Gojo, seeing that, pressed his lips tightly together and even made fists with his hands.

He really died of jealousy again

"That will be, my champion!" Kenji said happily.

That man got up carefully and looked at Utahime, who had already approached those three

"Perhaps the four of us could go out to eat together another day. What do you think?" That way we get to know each other better"— Kenji suggested happily.

"I think it's a good idea, right Gojo?" Utahime commented looking affectionately at her lover and then I look at the aforementioned

Gojo continued with a fake smile, deep down he was dying of courage

—"f I "like the idea", it will be another day with more calm"— He comment with fake smile

"Perfect! So I'm leaving so that you three can talk quietly"— Kenji turned to his girlfriend

" I'll walk you to the door, my love " commented Utahime with a warm smile

And so they both approached the threshold of the kitchen

Gojo's fake smile changed to a frown once that man turned his back on him.

Yoshio let out another laugh to see his father's behavior

"LOL!"

He brought his hand to his mouth to shut up when he felt his father's heavy gaze

The albino narrowed his eyes looking at him very seriously, that made him feel betrayed

But for Yoshio, that was only the beginning of his pranks, occurrences and perhaps one or another of his whims... he had found a "weak" point in his father

Gojo snorted loudly and decided to follow those two, so he stopped at the kitchen threshold to see what else they were doing.

His son looked at him very curiously and with a big, somewhat perverse smile, he already knew how he was going to take advantage of that first situation.

"Jealossss turututuuuuu" Yoshio whispered in a low voice

"Are you sure everything is okay, Utahime?" Do you want me to stay here with you?" Kenji asked as they were a few steps from the main entrance.

His voice had a tone of concern.

"Don't worry my love, Satoru has just come to talk about the days he is going to live with Yoshio and stuff... you don't have to worry, I know how to deal with that man" — Utahime smiled

Her boyfriend breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay my life, but if something happens, don't hesitate to call me, yes?" Kenji caressed her scar with affection.

"We'll be fine," Utahime said in a very affectionate way as she caressed her boyfriend's hand.

"By the way, Uta...

Kenji wrapped his arms around her and planted several kisses on her right cheek.

"Have I told you how beautiful you look today?" He ask sweetly.

Utahime blushed too much at such flattery and at his kisses

Gojo's mouth twisted at the sight of those two cloying ones, he even moved his foot impatiently.

He was dying of jealousy and his tense body gave him away

The albino was brought out of his thoughts when he felt a slight tug on his pants and looked down at his son.

That little boy raised the sunglasses he was still wearing and moved his eyebrows up and down

"Jealous?" Yoshio asked with a big smile.

Gojo's cheeks burned with pity that his son asked him that.

"Of course not! Jealous? Pufff, not at all!" He put her hands in his pockets and turned her face to the side out of pity.

Yoshio knew that his father was jealous since he felt it in his cursed energy

"Jealouuuuus!" Yoshio muttered but Gojo ignored him.

"See ya champion!" Nice to meet you, Satoru san!—Kenji said goodbye peacefully with a raised hand.

"See you soon Utahime, I love you" He gave his girlfriend one more kiss and left there

"Drive carefully love, see you later!" — commented Utahime kissing him goodbye

Yoshio said goodbye happily waving his hand. "Goodbye Kenji chan!"

Gojo just said goodbye with a thumbs up with an asymmetrical smile

Utahime closed the door behind her and looked directly at Gojo, who was very serious with jealousy.

Instead, her son seemed amused by everything that had happened

"He seems to be a nice guy, but not as good as me," Gojo commented with a touch of sarcasm. "Utaime, your tastes in men are lousy in my opinion."

Utahime rolled her eyes—"Look who's saying it, the "all mine", your tastes are actually the lousy Satoru"— she crossed her arms and stopped in front of him

"But you "were one of them", you can't deny it"— Gojo let out with a big smile

Utahime looked at him angrily. 💢
"Fool"

"In popular" Gojo blurted out.

"Fool."

"Grumpy."

"Womanizer!"

"Bitter….!

"Tsk! You son of a bitc…!" She censored himself by clenching her lips and fists.

"Uh?" Gojo questioned cheerfully.

"A great imbecile. Respect your elders!"— Utahime looked at him annoyed

"Are you going to cry Utahime? Are you going to call your "boyfriend"? I bet I'm better than him at everything"—Gojo said with a big smile and looking into her eyes.

"You're a..." Utahime let out reluctantly.

"This is just like old times!" — Gojo sighed in relief

Both adults looked at each other.

That was a very interesting exchange of glances.

They were like the ones they exchanged when they were young... Full of feelings and emotions that anyone could notice

Yoshio looked at them attentively, his curiosity was enormous to know what was happening between those two

Did they still love each other? Was it just getting upset? Did they hate each other? Was there something else there?

There was only one way to find out, so he decided to intervene.

"Dad's just jealous!" Yoshio said loudly.

Utahime opened her eyes wide when she heard that.

Gojo turned red

"Of course not!" his father denied.

"Of course Saturron!" Yoshio said "That's why you're upset with mom! You're jealous of her boyfriend!" He said at the top of him lungs, pointing his index finger at him.

"What not, little brat!" replied his father.

"Of course! Mojon is jealous! His energy gives him away!" He said with a big smile and adjusted those dark glasses

"No!" Gojo denied again.

"Yes! Yes, you are!"— that boy mused— "children and drunks always tell the truth, old man! And you're jealous!"- Yoshio stick out him tongue

"Not!" yelled Gojo.

"Yes, you are, and a lot! Dad is jealous, Dad is jealous!"- Yoshio singing

"I'M NOT! I'M NOT JEALOUS!"

The albino could not see Utahime in the face because of grief, his white face was dyed with carmine

Gojo wanted the earth to swallow him, he was losing to his mini he

Surely all those who bothered him as a child were making fun of him from beyond the grave

"You... son of a!" The albino didn't know how to answer that.

"Son of you!" I'm your son! What did you expect, old man?"— Yoshio happily waved his hands and shrugged with a big smile.

Gojo's eyes were wide open because that kid had defeated him

Utahime was trying to contain the laughter that gave him to see that scene where father and son "fighted" ridiculously

"What am I going to do with these two!" She said, taking a few steps towards them.

"Enough both!" — She clapped her hands— let's get to the point, Gojo...—

But a very particular noise interrupted her

Your child's stomach started making hungry noises

"Oops!"— Yoshio covered his stomach with his little hands

Gojo laughed slightly at that and Utahime hit her forehead lightly.

"Demons! I couldn't finish the food on time!" — She look at Gojo angrily —And all because of you!"

That albino raised his hands and made the "time out" sign

"Calm down Utahime, I have an idea. What do you think if we better go eat at a restaurant? I invite!" He suggested happily.

That idea did not seem pleasant to Utahime for two reasons:

The first, She always preferred to eat at home

The second, she did not know what Gojo's intentions were with her and her son

"Definitely N..." Utahime was interrupted

"Besides, that way we kill two birds with one stone, we talk about the regime and the conditions of the "visits"" he took a few steps towards her and brought his face a little closer

"And by the way we eat because really I'm starving too" Gojo smiled at her

"But!" Utahime couldn't say anything else as her son interrupted she.

"I want to go eat hamburgers!" commented that very happy boy.

"Two against One!"— Gojo's smile turned mocking

It seemed that unconsciously father and son had connected to get on Utahime's nerves

"Let's go Mami! Say yes, by fiss! "- Yoshio said with his puppy eyes and hugging her leg

"I'm starving for hitting two home runs!" Please mommy, say yes! By fis! - Yoshio begged with his little hands together

"Come on Utahime! And by the way, that's how the three of us spend time as a family. What do you think? "— Gojo smiled peacefully

A wide scowl of disapproval appeared on her lips.

She didn't know what the hell those two were planning, but it was definitely two against one.

"Tsk! It's okay"! —Utahime took off her apron—"Let's eat"— she put her hands on her hips

"Yei!" yelled Gojo and Yoshio with joy.

"I'll go change into something clean!" Yoshio ran into his room to take off his baseball uniform.

"I'll call Ijichi to come get us!" Gojo commented happily taking out his cell phone.

Utahime took a deep breath. "Kamis... that she can stand these two!" she begged in a low voice as she went for her bag.

And so, those three were going to spend the rest of the afternoon together... Because after that day things were going to change

"Hi! I will comment to Gojo Satoru, thank you very much for her time... tomorrow we will see her in the aforementioned place" — Ijichi said goodbye by phone

To be continue...
