but he hates, /hates/ that it comes with all too adoring eyes from his students. the first year in, Yuuji already turned down two confessions. "that's kinda hypocritical of you, don't you think, sensei?" when Yuuji catches Satoru fume

"especially when we started out that way" Yuuji says, snickering. Satoru thinks Yuuji's taking this way too lightly... unless-- "Don't tell me you have your sights on one of them?" He asks, aghast. Yuuji bursts out laughing. "Sensei, I'm not a cradle robber like you."

Hysterics aside, Gojo /does/ trust yuuji. It's simply his students that he doesn't trust. There's a certain boy, especially, he doesn't like the looks of. Unfortunately, he seems to be Yuuji's favorite. Renji, he's called. "He reminds me a lot of you, actually."

Yuuji says in response to Satoru's careful questioning. It has Satoru close to tearing chunks of his hair out. If that brat reminded Yuuji so much of Satoru, he should have known the former's type was also a cute well-meaning man with gap moe at the sign of a threat! Gah!

"it's puppy love," Satoru deludes himself into thinking, "it'll wear off at some point" But year after passing year, Renji's infatuation with Yuuji Just. Doesn't. Disappear.

Yuuji tells Satoru he has the situation with Renji handled, but his gentle rebuffs don't do anything. Not even Yuuji's status as the Six Eye User's spouse has dissuaded Renji from his ill attempted pursuit.

Satoru stews, but he remarkably maintains some restraint about the little shit. Uncharacteristic, Shoko tells him, which is fair but--

@ginghamchicken Oh I love this!!!!
