But man, it takes him awhile to think about this. He’s not ever really known about what to ask for payment for his work other than money..
The more he is existing in a place where money has no value, the more he hates it. Toji has to think hard about what is it he loves more than money (and sex..) and then it dawns on him, something genuine that he’s truly missed since Megumi’s mother passed.. ]
you cook?
[ Sure, he can go and get food at any convenience store around here, but Toji has been never good at cooking. It’s always been someone else cooking for him, even back when he lived with the Zenin clan.
There’s just something different and particularly satisfying about a home cooked meal. ]
[ Look. It would have been much easier if this was a place where money was relevant. The idea of free things sounded great at first, but he’s finding it difficult to negotiate with people here without money in the line. ]
not just a dinner for the whole duration im doing this for you
[ So like.. every night? Surely Gojo can haggle with him, right?
Also, don’t remind him this is male wife behavior. He might throw up in his mouth a little at that thought. Still, who can resist a labor free, home cooked meal? ]
you’d kill me already if you sincerely wanted me dead
poison isn’t flashy either it wouldn’t be like you to do something as pathetic and less showy as that
[ maybe he has a point.. it’s not like he wouldn’t study his targets or those who were going to interfere. Perhaps it’s kind of eerie he knows so much about Gojo. ]
your clan has always been so extra about everything besides, who would stalk your friend with me gone?
you want him alive and yet you send a sorcerer killer to watch him, i assume it’s because he cannot detect me
you have every chance to provide justice while keeping your hands somewhat clean, after all, it wouldn’t be you directly disposing of him..
you don’t want to admit it, but there’s some trust you have in me
call us even for you keeping an eye on my kids
[ Implying and admitting he has some trust in Gojo, Which.. he knows Gojo followed through with to some extent considering he’s had a few conversations to piece together information from Megumi. It’s not like Toji cared terribly what was to become of his family after he died, but there was some concern, considering he asked Gojo to do a favor for him. ]
perhaps you’re not as prideful as you try to make others see
I trust your work. Your strength. Your knowledge. Your human body. And your selfishness.
As far as I'm concerned, they're not your kids anymore. If Megumi wants to know you, I won't stop him. But you had plenty of chances before you died to fix things and you didn't take any of them. Whatever happens because of that is on you.
I did you a favor, but not for your sake.
People see what they want to see. That's worked out fine for me so far.
Do you really care about Megumi? Tsumiki? Maybe I only see what I want to see sometimes, too, but I've got a better perspective. ( six eyes and all. )
It's easy to talk to you because I know what I'm getting.

If I asked you to watch Getou and interfere if he tries to kill anyone or eat anything, what would that cost me?
no subject
Okay, but his irritated expression slowly eases into some smugness. It’s a good thing Gojou can’t see that he’s interested so easily. ]
h’ohhh
you don’t say
that’s interesting, you know
thought you were pals

I learned how to make the basics. Curry, yakisoba, nikujaga, tamagoyaki, omurice... The sort of things kids would eat easily.
( hint, hint. )
Any of that appeal to you? Think they've got miso soup at the store, so yeah. I could make you dinner.
( literally the worst idea in the world, and makes him sound like toji's wife now, but whatever... )

Fine, stupid. You're right. If I kill you, it's gonna be fantastic.
Can I have the weekends off, danna-sama~? ( yes he's being a bitch about it. )
no subject
no bending atoms kind of horseshit
of course im right about all of this, i know how assholes like you are
besides, ill be watching you cook very closely
[ You know what, all of this is annoying but he’s feeling generous, especially since Gojo doesn’t seem against the idea. ]
alright
fine

If you don't show up, even once, or you're late, even once, the agreement is null and void.
1/2
an unlimited kind of void?

i hope you take constructive criticism for your cooking
no subject
No.♡
I won't poison you, so you'll eat what you get and you'll like it.
Do we have a deal or not?
no subject
how much do you want me to interfere if he does something?
[ can he kill him.. pls.. ]
no subject
Stop him. Don't kill him.
And tell me.

after what he’s done, you still want him alive now that he’s back like i am
[ He’s got some information from sources. ]
no subject
What he's done? How do you know anything?
no subject
it’s none of your concern how i know
no subject
no subject
that’s quite on the nose for a bullshit though, don’t you think?
no subject
You don't give a shit about him, or me, past your hatred of us and anyone else.
So what's it matter? Don't get too curious about me, or I'll never get out of your head.
