Summary: All Kagome really wanted anymore was one peaceful day off, but she'd quickly come to accept that that was never going to happen so long as she was partnered with one Gojo Satoru.

"Good morning, Kagome-chaaan!"

Whipping her head around toward the overly enthusiastic greeting, the young woman in question was not entirely certain her glare was as effective as it could have been with her face stuffed full of rice the way it was. The immediate camera flash that followed startled her into swallowing the mouth full, and it took nearly every ounce of patience she had not to slam the porcelain bowl onto the table when her eyebrow began to twitch.

Her mother would have her head if she broke anything else because of him, after all.

A huff escaped her with the thought, before she snapped over her shoulder, "I hope you plan on deleting that, Satoru-san," and returned to her breakfast with the hopes that he would take the hint for once in his life.

"It's just Satoru, Kagome-chan. Sa-to-ru." She could practically hear the pout that accompanied the simple request. "And you're the most adorable chipmunk in the morning! Who could ever delete this?"

She scoffed in response, sensing his approach long before he took the opportunity to rest his chin on her shoulder. Trying to shrug him off proved futile, leaving her to sigh as he threw his arms around her in order to show off just how ineffective her glare from earlier had truly been. It was a horrible picture regardless due to the angle, though it was obvious that the man leaning against her did not feel the same.

"Satoru-san, please," Kagome complained, rolling her shoulder as if it ached with him settled there. And honestly, it did a little, if only because he was causing her to yank on her own hair when she moved, but she also knew that the request would go through one ear and out the other. The fact that she was the only person capable of bypassing his infinity had seemed to have given him a free pass to hang himself all over her from the get go, and she knew from experience that no amount of complaining would remove him once he decided he was comfortable.

"Sa," he breathed across her ear, "to," and she could not control the slight shiver that rushed up her spine with the last syllable, "ru."

Her face suddenly flaming, the dark haired Higurashi turned her head to tell him off and immediately whipped her head back around when she caught sight of him beaming at her from over the rim of his dark colored glasses with those luminous blue eyes of his. Wrinkling her nose and shaking her head to dispel the image, she ignored his fake cry when she shoved him away with her hand instead.

It was entirely too early for this shit.

"Kagome-chan," Satoru's head of white hair settled onto the table next to her after a moment, allowing him to continue staring up at her with those pretty eyes of his, "you're so mean to me sometimes!"

Ignoring him was much easier with him settled in the chair next to her, at the very least. Shoving another portion of rice into her mouth, she grumbled, "Who let you in anyway? Souta?" She would almost bet money on it being that little traitor with how much he loved Satoru. They were two peas in a pod every time Satoru decided to indulge her little brother with the latest video game he wanted to play, after all.

Satoru chuckled at the venom in her voice, saying, "He was on his way to school, but your mother was the one who let me in."

Oh.

That was almost worse.

Kagome cringed, trying not to think about the last time she had caught her mother sighing whimsically over the thought of her finally "bringing Gojo-san home to meet the family." As if she did not already have a hard enough time beating him off with a stick.

"And let me guess," putting her bowl down once more with a faint clink, she sighed, "she then decided that she had some errand that absolutely could not wait and left me here with you. Alone."

"Don't forget unsupervised!"

"How thoughtful." Her deadpan stare only caused him to grin like a maniac, as if he was the funniest man alive. The heat spreading across her nose caused her to turn her face away for a third time, though, knowing that he would only continue to poke at that particular topic if he saw it. Putting down her chopsticks, Kagome rubbed at the corner of her eye when it started to twitch, before asking, "Why do you always show up on my off day anyway? Don't you have any curses that need to be exorcized or something only the 'strongest' can teach Megumi? There has to be something you could be doing right now that's not loitering in my house."

"Nope!"

The absolutely gleeful way he popped the end of the word had her turning to glare at him once again, before her eyes widened with the realization that—

"Hey!" Slamming her hands onto the table to get his attention, Kagome snarled, "That's my breakfast, Gojo Satoru!"

His mouth stuffed to the brim with rice and her chopsticks hanging from the edge of his lip, she almost wished that she had been able to snap a photo herself when his eyes widened and he nearly choked in happiness over her dropping the suffix for one single moment. That was until he nearly sprayed her in his attempt to smother her once again and seemed to shout something that sounded suspiciously like 'Gojo Kagome!'

"Gah! Get off me, you idiot! You're disgusting!"

Note: Silly little thing that shouldn't go on too long that wouldn't leave me alone! Also, ffn has been acting funny lately, so if you want to interact with me, the best bet would be on my cross-posted work over on ao3. I try to reply to to everything that I can so long as I'm not busy with work!

Oh, and I have a couple other things I'm working on for JJK, so look out for those! Work kinda bogs me down, but I'm trying!
