How did things end up so messy?Â
A couple months ago, it felt like you were living your college romance dreams, and now it just felt like a social experiment documentary. But letâs take it from the top first.
Yuji Itadori was your childhood best friend. You used to be neighbours, and your parents were good friends too, so it was only natural youâd grow close.Â
And throughout the years, you found yourself developing the biggest crush on him. It was fun and silly at first. Youâd spend hours on call with your friends in middle school raving about the way heâd said your name that day, or how he almost always hung out with you during lunch instead of with his other friends.
Everyone was convinced the two of you were a thing. And you reveled in it, not bothering to deny the rumours, instead only shrugging them off.Â
But you overheard him a couple times. Denying them with a simple âHuh? We donât see each other that way.â
And yeah, it did suck a little, but it really wasnât that bad. You were content with just secretly crushing on him.Â
And then high school came around. He had moved away, but stayed in the same area so you still went to the same school. The only difference was that now you didnât see each other so often.Â
And thus, you started to grow apart.Â
It didnât end with a big argument, or a failed love confession, or anything like that. It just slowly faded out until only the ashes of your friendship remained. Heâd made a new, larger group of friends, and youâd found your own circle.Â
With the boost of maturity high school came with, your feelings slowly died down, and you let them. Deciding it would always just be a fun childhood crush youâd keep stored in the depth of your heart and think back of fondly someday.
Little did you know, the real change would only come after college started.Â
Once again, the two of you ended up unknowingly following each other in your academic career. But with college being a much bigger world than high school, you hadnât taken notice of his presence until the first two weeks of the semester had already gone by.Â
You were on your way to your philosophy class, and with the sports department on your way, youâd walked through the halls leading to the various gymnasiums.Â
And thatâs when you bumped into each other.Â
He was walking out of the training room, hair drenched in sweat, t-shirt stained, droplets running down his jaw, as he held a towel against his neck.Â
âOh shit, Iâm sorryâ Are you okay?â was all you heard before your eyes landed on the most beautiful guy youâd ever seen.
Your hand suddenly stopped rubbing at the side of your head where your bodies collided, and you stared up at him with your lips parted in surprise, and your eyes wide open.
His hair was slightly shorter and you could tell heâd recently had it trimmed, his undercut still fresh. His face was now adorned with two scars, one across his nosebridge and the other on the corner of his mouth. You couldâve sworn his jaw and neck had gotten bigger and sharper tooâlike the rest of his body.Â
Suddenly, you werenât the mature college student youâd grown to be. No, now you were back to the carefree middle school girl with a fat crush on her childhood best friend.Â
It was unfair really, how much of a grip he had on you. And so effortlessly, too. No matter what stage of your life you were at, your heart refused to let him go.Â
âY/N? Is that really you?â His eyebrows raised, mimicking yours. âWow, I didnât know you also went here.â he smiled. One of those heart-stopping smiles where his dimples showed.Â
Those dimples really would end you one day, you were sure of it.
âI⊠yeah, I didnât know you went here either.â you stutter, still too shocked to speak.
âI wasnât planning on it, but I got offered a scholarship, soâŠâ he shrugged.
âA sports scholarship?â you immediately asked.
âYeah! Howâd youââ he started, bright-eyed, and then froze. âRight. Itâs not really hard to guess when I suck at every other subject, huh?â he scratched the back of his neck.
You blink a couple times before letting out a small chuckle. âYeahâŠâ
He raised an eyebrow, pretending to be offended. âOh come onâIâm not that bad, am I?âÂ
You look away, feigning innocence. âWellâŠâ
He only laughs, and you do the same.
It was weird, talking to him like this, as if you hadnât become strangers in the last couple of years. But youâd be lying if you said it didnât feel nice.
âI should probably go now,â you say, taking a step further from him.
âOh, okay then.â His smile softened, and he raised a hand to wave as he walked backwards into the locker rooms. âIâll see you around?â
You nod, before turning around, and walking to your class.
And from that day on, the two of you would not stop bumping into each other. Which was weird because you hadnât changed your routine or any of your usual routes to class. But you werenât complaining. Because in all honestyâhe kept getting cuter and cuter every time you saw him.
And your conversations also grew longer.Â
Eventually the two of you had exchanged numbers to keep contact.
Heâd gotten back his habit of randomly facetiming you and spamming you, and you continued to respond just as eagerly.
One day, the two of you met up after school and you had picked up on his bad mood. When you pried for long enough, heâd told you he was at risk of losing his scholarship because of his bad grades.Â
Almost immediately, you offered to tutor him.
And thatâs when it really started going downhill.
You started seeing each other even more often. Most of the time it was for your tutoring sessions, but sometimes youâd just go to the movies, or hang out at a coffee shop after your classes.
And it wasnât until the two of you had fallen back into this familiar routine that youâd realized how much you had missed him these past years.
Things were going well. His grades were getting better, you went out on dates (not technically), heâd invite you to his basketball games to support him, and youâd force him to tag along on your book club meetings sometimes.Â
Truly, you hadnât been happier in years.Â
So it shouldnât come as a surprise that your friendship wasnât the only thing that had sprung back to life.Â
Youâd fallen for him again. This time even harder, somehow.
Except this time you werenât just a middle schooler going through her awkward phase, content with watching him from afar.
Things had changed. You were both adults now.Â
And you couldnât just be satisfied with crushing on him anymore.Â
So you decided youâd tell him how you feel, once and for all.
You werenât sure what to expect exactly, but you were done with letting opportunities slip from your fingers.Â
So on the evening where youâd finished your exams for the semester, you decided to go out and celebrate with a couple of friends at a local restaurant with good food and some drinks.
Heâd chosen to sit right next to youâand you had tried not to let it get to your head. Because you had to stay focused and mentally practice how you were going to confess your feelings.Â
Tonight was the night, you could feel it. The semester was over, everyone was in a good mood, and you were all dressed up and pretty.
Near the end of the night, after everyone had gone back to their dorms, the two of you remained alone.
You were only a little tipsy, and thankfully, Yujiâs iron stomach had kept him pretty much sober. So here you were, balancing yourself on the curb, with your best friend carefully holding his arms out for you in case you fell.Â
âIâm sooo glad I ran into you in the sports blockâŠâ you stared at your feet as you took small steps, with your arms held out in a perfect T-pose.
âMe too⊠hey be carefulââ he scolded.
ââM fine!â you giggled.
He lets out a small sigh, keeping a hand at a painful distance away from your lower back to support you.Â
You open your mouth to speak up again, but you take a misstep, and feel your world tilt on its axis. A gasp leaves you, but Yujiâs quick to react.
He catches you immediately, in bridal style. Heâs slightly out of breath, not because heâs having a hard time holding you, but because you scared the hell out of him. He readjusts you in his arms, holding you tighter.Â
Your eyes widen, and your cheeks flush, as he fills your line of sight. His handsome features only accentuated with the streetlampâs lighting.Â
âYou good? I told you to be careful.â
Your eyelids drop again, nearly closing, as you stare up at him with dimmed eyes. A beat of silence passes.Â
Nowâs your chance.Â
âYuji?â
â... yeah?â
âIâm in love with you.â you blurt out.
He almost loses his grip on you from sheer surprise.Â
Another pause.
âYouâre drunk. You donât know what youâre saying.â he swallows, and from the angle youâre at, you see his adamâs apple bob clearly. It takes everything in you to stop yourself from burying your face in his neck
âIâm only tipsy.â you pout, the gesture not really helping to prove your point. âI know what Iâm saying, Yuji.â
He clears his throat and tears his gaze off of you before he continues walking. âNo, you donât.â
âYes I do! Just because Iâm tipsy doesnât mean Iâm dumb.â You let out an annoyed whine and hit his chest, albeit weakly. âIâve always loved you! I just⊠never told you.â you add, quietly.
His footsteps slow, but he doesnât stop walking. â... what do you mean âalwaysâ?â
âI mean ever since we were kids, duh. Are you stupid or something?â you chuckle again.
He swallows again, this time harder. He grows silent once more, but now youâre too preoccupied with what you just confessed to continue talking. A heavy weight settles in your stomach as you slowly come back to your senses.Â
âDo you⊠not feel the same?â you finally look up at him.
You donât miss the way his lips purse awkwardly, or how his jaw clenches. He keeps quiet, refusing to answer you.
âYuji, put me down.âÂ
He looks down at you and hesitates for a moment before setting you back down on your feet.Â
His hands rest on his hips as he looks at the ground.Â
At the sight of his posture, and the heavy sigh that escapes him, you finally understand.Â
â... You donât feel the same, do you?â
He takes a couple seconds before meeting your eyes with an apologetic look. â... No, I donât. Iâm sorry.â
You feel your heart shatter, and you stagger back a couple steps, still feeling a little nauseous and dizzy from the alcohol.Â
He moves to steady you again but you stop him.Â
Once you regain your balance, you cross your arms. âRight, well⊠this is awkward.â you clear your throat.
âA little,â He scratches at the back of his head. âCan we still be friends though? I donât⊠want to lose my best friend.â
Your heart sinks further down to your stomach at the words âbest friendâ and you try your best not to let it show. You nod, âOf course, weâll always be best friends.â you slowly look up at him with a small, tight-lipped and forced smile.
He nods in response, before awkwardly offering you his hand to help you wobble back to your place.
The following days, nothing had really changed, the two of you refusing to mention the elephant in the room. Itâs like you had made an unspoken agreement not to speak about that night.Â
You continued texting, facetime, hanging out, etc.Â
It was now winter break, so you had plenty of time to see each other.Â
Except that no matter how hard you tried, you couldnât ignore the ache in your heart every time you saw him. So it was after a lot of consideration and reluctance that you slowly started distancing yourself from him.Â
By the end of the first week, youâd managed to find excuses to avoid seeing each other in person, but kept calling and texting. By the second week, your 6 hour facetime calls turned into vocal messages, and youâd stopped replying to his stories or the silly videos he sent you. And near the end of that same week, youâd managed to completely cut contact for four consecutive days.
You felt bad for ghosting him, but you needed room to breathe and think.Â
Now you had the next two weeks of your break completely Yuji-free.
And it mightâve been hard to believe, but youâd managed to meet someone new in that short amount of time. By the time the new semester started, the two of you had already gone on a couple dates.Â
As for Yuji, you hadnât seen or spoken to him in weeks. And you were finally starting to forget him, little by little. Of course you still werenât over him, but you werenât wallowing in self-pity anymore.
Thankfully, none of your classes were near the sports block so the chances of you two running into each other were slim.Â
At least you thought so.Â
It happened on a random Wednesday as you and your recently official boyfriend waited in line to try out some free cookies for a school eventâyou werenât exactly sure what but hey, free cookies.
Tons of students were gathered in the main atrium of your campus.Â
And thatâs when you spotted a towering head of pink hair in the crowd. You immediately looked away, and hid behind your boyfriend.Â
He laughed at your sudden behaviour and asked what was up, but you denied there being anything wrong. Once youâd convinced him, heâd told you he needed to go to the bathroom and that he wouldnât take long. You reluctantly let him go with a sigh.Â
Great. Now who was going to shield you againstâ
âY/N?â
Fuck.
Maybe heâll go away if you ignore him.Â
A firm hand plants itself on your shoulder. âY/N I know itâs you.â
You slowly turn to face him. âYuji, hi.â
ââHiâ? Seriously?â his eyebrows furrow.
You look away, awkwardly. Why did he have to be so confrontational? And in a public area too?
As if having read your thoughts, he takes a deep breath, and settles down. His voice is quieter now as he speaks. âWhere have you been? Whatâs going on with you?â
Still refusing to look at him, you sigh and fold your arms over your chest. âNothing.â
âNothing? I havenât heard from you in weeks.â He leans his head down as if trying to catch your gaze. And it worksâyour body betrays you and your eyes find his immediately.
His gaze softens. âDid I do something wrong?â he mutters with a pleading look. âJust tell me what I did because I canât lose you again. Youâre my best friend.âÂ
The words make you want to roll your eyes, but you manage to stop yourself. âI donât want to be your friend, Yuji.â you blurt out, without meaning to.
He winces away from you, eyes wide open in shock. And then it clicks. âWait⊠Is this because you like me?â
This time, you canât hold back, and actually roll your eyes. Could he be any more dense? Before you can speak again however, a hand finds your waist and rests on your hip.Â
âHeyâ who is this?âÂ
You wish the earth could shatter and swallow you whole. Â
âThis is Yuji, heâs a friend of mine.â you explain.Â
The tall pink-haired man stares at the guy beside you with a scrutinizing, almost disgusted look. âWhoâs he?â
You hesitate for a moment. âYuji, this is my boyfriend.â
âBoyfriend?â His frown only deepens. âSince when?â
âWe met almost three weeks ago⊠but I asked her out two days ago.â the guy interjects.
You watch the gears turn in Yujiâs head. â... You donât waste time, do you?â
âYuji.â you scold, eyebrows knitted together.
âWhat? Iâm just saying.â he shrugs, acting unbothered, when in reality he was anything but.
âWe should go now.â You give him one last glance before turning to the man beside you.Â
Too conflicted to do anything, Yuji just stands there, watching your retreating figures.Â
It isnât until after at least a minute that he manages to get his feet moving again, deciding to just go back to his dorm.
Things stay the same for the following weeks.Â
And Yuji doesnât understand why he feels an inexplicable rage bubble deep in his gut every time he sees you with him.Â
At first he thought the anger was directed at youâfor ghosting him, for ending your friendship.Â
But after a while he understood that the real person that angered him was your so-called boyfriend.Â
Who the fuck even was that? What kind of manwhore asks a girl out after three weeks? How dare he take you away from him? What did he have that Yuji didnât? Heâd be a much better boyfriend to you than that rando ever will be.
Wait, what?
Boyfriend? No, Yuji didnât see you like that.Â
âŠ
Oh. Maybe he did.
Why was he only just now realizing? Heâd spent his whole life thinking of you as a good friendâand just that. When did things change?Â
Was it when youâd talk his ear off on your walks back home in middle school? Was it when heâd catch glimpses of you talking to your friends in the halls of your old high school? Or was it when youâd unexpectedly barged back into his life like God himself sent you?
Or maybe it was throughout last semester, when youâd lean in just enough for him to smell your perfume while you helped him with homework. Or that time where heâd let you win at an arcade game, unbeknownst to you, and youâd smiled at him while jumping up and down about your victory.Â
Orâmaybe it was the night where youâd confessed your feelings to him. He was already feeling conflicted and woozy that entire evening just from sitting next to you. The way youâd brush his arm, leaning against his shoulder while laughing every time he told a dumb joke. The way your smell intoxicated him and the warmth radiated from your skin. And that look in your eyes as youâd look up at him while he talked.
All these moments had started to blur together, and he couldnât tell what exactly had been the turning point for him. The only thing he knew was that he liked you too.Â
And now he was stuck with this useless and painful piece of information. Forced to watch you be happy with someone who was smart enough to snatch you up before they lost their chance.
⥠in which... the jjk men get cuteness overload/agression over you.
⥠featuring... yuji, megumi, toji, choso, sukuna (heian era sukuna, his bit is suggestive !)
⥠Yuji Itadori
You and Yuji often get together for movie nights, and tonight's not the exception. After persuading him into letting you choose the movie this time, you thought you'd be more immersed, but the way your eyes are drooping mid watch is proving quite the opposite.
You love the movie you picked, but the tiredness from the day is catching up to you. You wanted to unwind, sure, but not to be so relaxed you'd end up fighting sleep! Yuji was fully immersed in the movie, but it only takes him some glances in your direction to tell you're drifting off. And Yuji being Yuji, he can't help but point it out immediately.
"Sleeping on me, really?" He teases, and you jolt awake. "No! I'm just... resting my eyes."
"For two whole minutes?"
"Uh... maybe?"
Yuji laughs a little at your half-assed answer, yet his grin soon softens. He pauses the movie, quitting the teasing early today. "We can keep watching some other time, I know you had a busy day. You should rest, you can take my bed."
"No! I won't," You shake your head quickly, "We're only missing like, forty minutes of the movie. I can handle it."
"If you're sure..." "I am."
Yuji shrugs when you confirm again, deciding to respect your determination. And he didn't want to see you fail, but when your eyes fall shut five minutes in, he can't help the smile on his face.
"Resting your eyes again?" He quips, chuckling softly as you're startled again.
"Nope!" You manage to answer, "This part's just pretty boring."
"Boring? We just got a huge plot twist!"
"Well, it gets boring when you know what happens!"
You groan as Yuji bursts into laughter again, knowing he's fully aware you're bullshitting your way through this conversation. He decides to leave you alone for now, though, mostly because he's kinda interested on the climax of the movie, but also because he knows you're not in right headspace for this.
When the movie's nearing its end, Yuji relaxes and leans back on the couch. He had been stealing more glances here and there, watching how your eyes went lidded until you made the effort to keep them open again. It made his heart swell with affection... but nothing quite like now, when he feels the weight of your head falling on his shoulder.
You're out cold. The soft glow of the TV reflects on your face, and your hair's getting in the way from the tilting of your head to meet his shoulder. He shifts slightly so you're more comfortable, and you unconsciously curl into him, your hand gripping his sleeve.
Yuji's heart does this thing in which it threatens to stop beating for a second, and he almost wishes it actually did. He's spiraling. You've never fallen asleep on movie night, or in his vicinity in general. Usually, there's enough energy from the two of you in the room to last for the entire night, And you watch two or three movies in a row before deciding to call it quits. Now? You didn't even reach the credits, and you're humming sleepily while seeking his warmth. And he's NOT surviving it.
Yuji kinda wishes you were the type to snore, or talk in your sleep. Maybe even be a sleep walker. Instead, he finds out you're a cuddler. By being the victim of your embrace, of all ways. Guess that's why you have tons of plushies in your room. He just wishes he didn't have to bite on his fist to avoid screaming and jumping around from the rush of feelings he's getting.
You mumble something in that tiny, sleepy voice that only comes out in this state, and his heart suffers another violent stab of affection. He's bouncing his leg, looking away, doing just about anything to refrain himself from startling you awake. But he can barely control himself, and it's patetically showing.
That's when he switches tactics. Instead of praying to calm down and let you sleep on his shoulder like a normal person, he tries to nudge your head sliightly away with a finger. Just enough so there's a little space between you and you can't continue using him as your pillow. But your head falls back in place against him, his attempt unsuccessful.
After, he pushes your head away and forward with his hand, trying to make it comfortably rest on this cushion he's holding behind your head... But it slides off again, this time falling into his chest.
Oh, this worse. This is worse this is worse this is so much worseâ because your asleep self seems to find this new place so much more comfortable, your face burying itself in the crook of his neck instantly. And now his heart is practically lurching on his chest, a quiet yelp escaping him at the intimacy of the situation.
So what does a man do when found himself in such a compromising spot?
Wake you up, probably.
But Yuji's not just any man, because instead, he spends the next 20 minutes staring at the ceiling while gripping the couch's armrest with all his might.
Once you stir awake, you blink sleepily until straightening up, mumbling apologies. Yuji nods stiffly, facing away from you, acting like it was no big deal.
You rub your eyes with your palms, going on about how cuddly you 'sometimes' get when you're tired or sleepy, how you didn't mean to make things awkward.
Yuji reassures you immediately, saying he was too focused on the movie to even notice you drew closer. You appear to believe him, leaning back in the couch with a quiet exhale.
To occupy the silence, Yuji fills you in with his commentary on the movie, giving his general thoughts.
But the part in which he almost had a breakdown because you were too close? He thinks he'll keep that to himself.
⥠Megumi Fushiguro
Megumi's sitting on the bed, scrolling on his phone while he waits for you to come out from the bathroom. He just wants to relax with you for a while, maybe watch a movie before bed or just cuddle the night away (though he'd never say it out loud), but you're sure taking your sweet time inside. He thinks you're just being thorough, probably going through those long night routines you put yourself through sometimes. But nothing could have prepared him for the view when you came back in the room.
"Megs, over here!" You call out with a giggle, standing at the doorframe. His eyes are halfway closed, he's already considering skipping the movie and going straight to sleep, but you're still here and probably up to something.
Megumi sighs, lifting his head to look at you like he's being held at gunpoint, but his eyes widen once they fix on your frame.
"Is that...?" He trails off, a strong flurry of emotion washing over him as he takes everything in. You're wearing a comfy onesie with an adorable strawberry pattern, and you brought his dogs with you and made them wear strawberry hats.
the sight of you matching with his dogs felt so life threatening he had the urge to rise his fists and end the menacing feeling right there.
But he snaps out of it, aware of the obvious truth that this is not a violent situation yet wondering why the hell it felt like his heart would stop when he saw you.
"I saw these online and I couldn't resist buying them. The little hats can be gotten on sale when bought together with the onesie, can you believe it? That's such a cute combo!" You comment happily as you sit down by his side, his body visibly stiffening at your sudden closeness. Shiro and Kuro pad over as well, their hats so ridiculous he wonders how you managed to put them on without them making a fuss. They're always so compliant with you for whatever reason.
"So, do you like it?" You ask, brows knitting together as you see him stare at the floor. "Megumi?"
"You look fine." He answers curtly, turning even further to the side. His heart's pounding away in his chest, to the point where he's worried if you're able to hear it. And if this were anyone else he'd say the idea's stupid, but he can't deny the physical evidence of the effect this little stunt is having on him.
You don't seem deterred at his lukewarm answer, noticing the tinge of red on the tips of his ears despite his efforts to conceal his embarrassment. You scoot closer and he instinctively covers his face, clearly doing a conscious effort to appear composed, but a mere glance your way in that dumb outfit is enough to have him spiraling again.
"I'll go to the bathroom." Megumi announces while standing up abruptly, making a beeline to said room. You laugh freely now that he's out of sight, the way he attempts to act nonchalant while being obviously affected never fails to amuse you.
When Megumi returns, he sits by your side like nothing happened, avoiding looking at you for obvious reasons. He spends five whole minutes stealing glances your way while he listens to you talk, trying to convince himself that he's composed now.
"Hey, Megs?" His attention's fully back on you at the mention of his name, tilting your head in your general direction. "What?"
"Remember how I said the hat and onesie were a combo purchase?" you ask and he nods automatically, "well, in order to get two hats, I bought two onesies, so..."
Megumi slowly turns to face you fully, the meaning of your comment obvious. "If you think I'll wear one just to match with you-"
"Then I'd be right?"
"Of course not."
But Megumi's a bit of a liar sometimes, because you only had to say 'please' once for him to cave and wear the remaining onesie.
Later that night, he's laying on bed with you in his arms, cursing how absurdly comfortable the material of the pajamas is. You're already asleep, but he's having a hard time doing the same now that he can admire you freely.
There's no one around (at least not awake) to judge him, but he still can't let go of his grumpy expression, annoyed at how his heart's racing and his face remains warm.
He groans to himself, rubbing his face with his palm.
It's going to be a long night for Megumi.
⥠Toji Fushiguro
"What's so important you can't spare me your attention?"
"Just need a minute to pick a nice horse to bet on, doll."
"Okay? You'll lose even if you do your research."
"Zip it, brat."
You grumble and dramatically flop in the bed beside him, your efforts to annoy Toji have been futile. He's too fixated on his stupid horses, and yeah it's only been three minutes but you're his partner! You came to see him so you could spend time with him, not watch him plan how he'll gamble his money away.
You're in one of those 'attention seeking' moods as Toji likes to call them, and you own up to the name with all your might. He doesn't want to pay attention to your lovely self in every minute he's on your presence? Then you'll force him to acknowledge you. You're hella bored anyway, and it's fun to mess with him. So you sit up and begin rummaging through your purse, already scheming.
"Since you're so busy, you won't mind being my model, right?" You ask as you get out your makeup pouch, "I want to test some techniques. You just have to stay still, anyway."
Toji raises an eyebrow like he has no idea what business his skin could have to do with your makeup that you use on yourself, but he refuses to give you the satisfaction and just shrugs. "Be my guest."
You frown slightly, not pleased with his lack of reaction, but you take it in stride and decide to have fun with it.
You begin using Toji's arm as a canvas, drawing lines with lipstick, blending concealer on his skin, and particularly doing things that make no sense at all. You're just messing with him, making it obvious this serves no purpose, but he just hums and let's you do whatever you want. And while making a mess out of his skin is fun, you're not achieving anything. Time to try something else.
You turn to your purse again, getting out a sheet of stickers you conveniently brought with you. Toji watches from the corner of his eye, distracted but good enough at hiding it, before going back to mindlessly scroll through the options on his phone. "You're gonna 'test something' with those too?"
"Yeah- yeah." You reply as you reach for the first one, "Just testing their stickiness on skin. Important business, really. You wouldn't get it."
"Sure, sure." Toji drawls, remaining still and calm as you place the stickers on his skin. You go up to his neck this time, and even stick some in his face. And though he's undisturbed, you're having way more fun with this activity. The sight of Toji with stickers all over his body amuses you so, and your smile only widens the more you go on.
You firmly press one on his cheek, before looking for your phone. You need to take a picture of him like this, and if he wants to keep acting indifferent to you, then you'll at least have a memory of sticker-filled face. You spot your phone and are about to grab it, but Toji suddenly hooks a finger under your chin and tilts your face towards him.
"Toji-?" You're silenced as he cups your face with one hand, squishing your cheeks. "Hey!"
"Shh... C'mere." Toji reaches for the sticker sheet you left behind, lazily pressing the remaining ones to your face. It's his little revenge for what you did on him, and he's enjoying it by the way he's smirking at you. You squirm the whole time, but he always pulls your hands away with infuriating ease, making it so you never get to interrupt his process.
It doesn't even take a whole minute for the sheet to be completely empty, your face as full of stickers as his. Toji stares at his handiwork appreciately, though he's more pleased at your annoyance than the decoration on your face. He squishes your cheeks repeatedly. "Much better, ain't it? Now you can go ahead and take all the pictures you want."
"You...!" You punch weakly at his chest, displeased that he outsmarted you. But Toji's smirk only widens, a strange warmth blooming in his chest at the sight of you sulking all pretty with those silly stickers on your face.
"C'mon, you wanted a picture, didn't you? Let's get it." He pulls you closer with a headlock, his hold loose but firm enough to get you in place. He reaches for your phone, snapping a selfie of you two in that position. You glare at the camera all the way, though your resolve breaks halfway and you smile. He manages to get that on camera too, clearly pleased with this outcome.
"Happy?" He asks with obvious sarcasm, that annoyance returning to you tenfold. You twist your head enough to bite on his bicep, but he nudges you closer and bites your cheek.
"Toji!" You complain immediately, and he huffs out a laugh. He really was holding back this affectionate restlessness, but the urge of biting and squeezing you in his arms grows worse the more you fight back.
"What? You started it." He shrugs as you rub the sting away. "Now stay put for a while, I couldn't get anything done 'cause of you."
You groan in exasperation at his comment. The admission that you successfully disturbed him pleases you, but you wanted to get his attention long-term, not slow down his process. Still, you both lay down in bed, his arm still locked around you, making a surprisingly comfortable pillow for you.
Toji occasionally squeezes you tighter, and reaches to bite your shoulder or ear out of nowhere. You scold him each time, but he's not deterred. That funny feeling's sitting deep inside him, faint but present, and even with your chiding he's exactly where he wants to be.
You pretended to hate it all, but you set the picture he took as your homescreen as soon as you were alone again. And you heard it from Shiu, but he set it as his wallpaper for your chat. his homescreen would be too public, he didn't want randos to be looking at you. specially not work-related people. shiu was the exception because the bastard's nosy as hell.
You're a menace, but so he is. Maybe that's why you match each other so well.
Better start plotting in which way you'll annoy him next time.
⥠Choso Kamo
You woke up in a cheerful mood, a pleasant feeling running through your body. It's sunny outside, the birds are chirping, and it's the ideal weather for a date. You texted Choso as soon you could, and as the great boyfriend he is, he made his way over in a whim.
You planned to go walk through the park together, feed the pigeons and everything. After, you'd set up a picnic when you felt hungry. Then you'd just lay there for a while, talking and enjoying each other's company. Choso was already in the living room, waiting so you could walk from your home to where you'd spend your time together. And as perfect as you were hoping the date would pan out, you really wanted to dress accordingly.
You're a bit nervous, you have to admit. This isn't your first date with Choso, but there's a feeling of novelty today that's making you both giddy and unsure. For your dates, you've usually played it safe styling-wise because you didn't want to overdo it. But you're inspired enough to give it a try, so you choose from those outfits you were saving for special occasions.
You take a bit longer than usual getting ready, styling your hair, picking out your accessories carefully and making sure to use your favorite perfume. Once you're done, you take a quick look at the mirror, before finally going out to where Choso is still waiting.
Choso's a sweetheart, you remind yourself. The only opinion that matters is his, and he's always been supportive to you. The worst he could do is not compliment your look because he thinks you're beautiful as you are (an overwhelmingly good result, definitely). You call him softly to get his attention, hyping yourself up with those thoughts.
When Choso takes in your look, his reaction is immediate. But he doesn't compliment or reassure you, he just starts... crying?
Wait. CRYING???
"Choso-! Are you okay?!" You rush over to him, horror etching on your features at the sudden predicament. He's covering his face with a hand, giving you a weak nod as he sniffles.
"Oh my- what happened?! You were fine just now, was it the outfit? Is it- is it bad or something?" You ask in a small, worried voice, and Choso perks up immediately. He cups your face with his hands, eyes locking with yours with an intensity that belies the tears in his face. He shakes his head firmly.
"None of that. You just..." A sniffle. "You're too cute."
You stiffen. "...What."
"The colors, the pretty accessories, the way it all matches you... it's making me feel like when I see adorable puppies compilations. But it's you, so it's worse."
"It-" You splutter, "It what?"
"Your bag... You're wearing the fuzzy cat bag, it's really cute." He replies in a tone so pitiful you have to hold back a laugh. "There's also that small bow in your hair, which by the way looks specially nice today. I've never seen you with those clothes before, but you still smell like you. It's making my heart beat too fast, and telling my arms they need to be around you."
You finally laugh freely, both reassured and endeared. Shaking your head in amusement, you open your arms. "You can come and hug me, Cho."
And he doesn't need to be told twice, holding you firmly against him.
"You cry so easily, you know," you tease him softly, wiping his tears when he pulls back.
"You make me feel a lot of things." Choso admits, before pausing. "...You might not want to go out like this, though. You'll make other people cry too."
You chuckle, "I don't think they'll cry... they might just compliment me if they're bold enough. Worst case scenario, someone might try to flirt with me, but tears aren't likely."
"Flirt?" Choso straightens up slightly, thinking deeply about the word. He didn't quite get why some would make moves on taken people, seeing as pointless. You've always shown yourself uncomfortable when others flirt with you so shamelessly, though, so he quickly turns more serious.
"I won't let them bother you." Choso states, his stance turning protective.
"I know, I know." You giggle again, looping your arm with his as that giddiness returns. Choso's gaze softens at the action, face flushing faintly. "Shall we go, then?" You ask, and he manages to nod.
Something about him being so easily moved to tears pulls at your heartstrings, even if you know he wasn't actually hurt. It all just reminds you of how pure his feelings are, how he just can't hide anything when it comes to you.
You begin your walk together, with Choso both alert at the environment and stealing little glances at you. Glances that get him flustered each time, a bashfulness that's so apparent in his face.
You can't help but smile everytime you catch him looking, warmth spreading over your chest all over again.
And with your confidence back, you're sure this will be an amazing date.
⥠Ryomen Sukuna
You are Sukuna's most beloved concubine, and this is a surprise to nobody.
Dressed in the finest silks, spoiled with frequent gifts and indulged more than anyoneâ no one dared to defy your status as the king of curses favored one. No one with a will to live, at least, if the executions of those who bothered you had anything to say in the matter.
Perhaps it was difficult to understand for outsiders, Sukuna himself doesn't know how it happened, but there's something in your presence that sets him at ease. He's grown fond of your presence and requires it often, always looking for you on his leisure time.
Which explains why he's heading to the gardens, knowing you enjoy being there on your free time.
Could he have just requested your presence? Yes, of course. But he finds it most amusing to see you naturally interact with your environment, so he makes his way himself without haste.
Sukuna spots you easily, standing in front of your crouched form with his arms crossed. You notice him right away, his imposing shadow looming over you in a way that's imposible to ignore. Without missing a bit, you turn your head to meet his gaze. "My lord, do you require something of me?"
"Nothing but your presence, you may even pretend I am not here. However, I also wonder why you sit on the floor like a child playing with dirt." He gives you a once over, making you feel overly aware of your position. You're not intimidated, still, remaining in place as you point at the basket in your lap.
"I sometimes see bunnies, deers and other creatures running across the garden. I wished to offer them some berries, in hopes they'd interact with me." You answer honestly.
"If you wanted a pet of sorts I could have had one captured one for you." Sukuna offers practically.
"While I'm thankful of your intentions, their comfort is my top priority." You gracefully refuse. "I merely enjoy interacting with them once in a while, I don't wish to disrupt their lives."
Your answer's absurdly naive to Sukuna, but that's part of your charm to him. It doesn't bore him if it comes from you, your human empathy has yet to stop amusing him.
In fact, your words about those animals remind of how he feels about youâsomeone whose presence he desires but whom he does not want to harm. At such realization, he refrains from questioning you this once.
Instead, he shifts his stance, gaze lifting to the patches of green laid ahead. "Have you been successful in your pursuit?"
You smile wryly, dissapointment barely concealed behind your gaze. "Well yes, somewhat. It's not the first day I seek them out, so they've grown more curious about the food, and seem to understand I am not a threat. They must feel threatened by others, still, as they ran away when they noticed I had company."
"Would you be implying I scared them away?" He asks with a raised eyebrow, his tone sharp but laced with mirth.
You catch the lack of threat easily, your tone still soft as you answer. "That could be the case, but it would have happened with anyone, my lord. These creatures are skittish, and anything unknown makes them go back into fearfulness. Perhaps I should leave the basket here for them and return some other day."
Sukuna knows you're indirectly answering in affirmation to his question, but god do you have a way to reply in ways that never set him off. He can read the melancholy in your tone no matter how much you try to conceal it, though. He's aware you wanted to see your stupid animals, and that his presence is far too threatening to make any living being come close. So, with the heaviness that comes with wanting to be selfish and steal you away, but loving you enough to put your needs before his, he stops you.
"No such thing. You'll remain sat and fulfill your ridiculous whim, I may spare you some minutes. Make sure they come over fast. I don't want to wait for you all day."
Sukuna walks away from you, leaving you dumbfounded. He's still at a distance in which he can see you, but he's given you space to continue. You know this is the way he shows you affection, so you quietly appreciate it and hold the treats out once more.
It takes a few minutes, but some rabbits begin approaching you. You're ecstatic, you've seem them get closer and closer for days but never enough to make contact. This once, a bold one cautiously hops closer, eating straight from your hand.
You can't help your smile, the sight is adorable. It's even better once more start coming closer, the tiny creatures surrounding you now that they're sure you're safe.
You're fawning over them, cooing and breathing out whispers of awe. You're restraining your movements as much as you can, cautious so you won't scare them away, but there's obvious contentment in your actions.
Now, while you're taken by the rabbits' cuteness, Sukuna can't help but be focused on you instead. And they could be soft, fuzzy and whatever other crap you see in them, but they have nothing on you and that soft smile you're sporting. No living being gets close, not with the way he's finding true pleasure in your joy.
And Sukuna's felt this before, this pleasantness that thrums and runs through his body in soft waves. The one he chases, the reason why he insists on watching you perform the most menial of tasks. But this time? This time's different. And he's not sure if he's understanding what's going on at the moment.
In your time together, you've made Sukuna feel many things. The softness afore mentioned that he reluctantly got used to, the quiet pride in knowing you're his to be with. The ire that warps him when someone wrongs you, the lust that swallows him when you're alone in your chambers.
But this? This is strange. The softness is there, but it's hitting him intensely in an uncharacteristic way. There are no gentle waves washing him over, but rather a seaquake threatening to drown him.
It's sharp in a manner that resembles his hunger for blood and death. It makes him feel like sinking his teeth into you, crushing your frame against his.
But the sensation's not telling him he wants to hurt you, which is weirdly contradictory for the intensity he's feeling towards you.
If there's one thing Sukuna's not fond of, it's uncertainty. He allows it in a certain amount sometimes, all for his own amusement, but he's not enjoying not being able to identify this.
So he quits trying to analize it and makes a bold assumption, interpreting the feeling as whatever feels closer to it.
"I trust you had your fun." Sukuna returns to your side, the bunnies running away as fast as they can. You give him a nod, pleased that you achieved your goal for a few minutes.
"I enjoyed it. But are you feeling unwell? You look... unsettled." You ask worriedly, standing up as you take in his tight expression. It's really taking everything in Sukuna to keep how he's feeling under wraps, but your genuine concern paired with the image of your soft state earlier is enough to undo him.
"Irrelevant. Come to my chambers." He dismisses curtly, already turning around.
"My lord...? Are you sure?" You ask in a gentle tone, and he feels another sharp tug to his chest. He clenches his teeth.
"Must I repeat myself? Stubborn. I'll bring you over myself." He wastes no time making good on his word, holding you in his arms and pulling you taut to his chest. He walks straight in direction to his private room, the same frown that concerned you still fully set on his face.
Sukuna crosses the state in long strides, servants immediately get out of his way. Once you're inside, he sets you down in the bed, and you have the gall to question him again. He glares at you, but still answers. "You've placed inconvenient feelings inside of me, so it's your task to take care of them."
See, Sukuna's mind might appear complex to others, but his logic is fairly simple. Since the restless energy he felt towards you was not violent, it could only mean one other thing. And he was going to make sure he'd get rid of this vexating feeling, and you were going to help him like you knew how to.
Affection and ferocity coexisting? Unfathomable in his head.
Just be a good concubine and let him take this out on you, yeah?

How did things end up so messy?Â
A couple months ago, it felt like you were living your college romance dreams, and now it just felt like a social experiment documentary. But letâs take it from the top first.
Yuji Itadori was your childhood best friend. You used to be neighbours, and your parents were good friends too, so it was only natural youâd grow close.Â
And throughout the years, you found yourself developing the biggest crush on him. It was fun and silly at first. Youâd spend hours on call with your friends in middle school raving about the way heâd said your name that day, or how he almost always hung out with you during lunch instead of with his other friends.
Everyone was convinced the two of you were a thing. And you reveled in it, not bothering to deny the rumours, instead only shrugging them off.Â
But you overheard him a couple times. Denying them with a simple âHuh? We donât see each other that way.â
And yeah, it did suck a little, but it really wasnât that bad. You were content with just secretly crushing on him.Â
And then high school came around. He had moved away, but stayed in the same area so you still went to the same school. The only difference was that now you didnât see each other so often.Â
And thus, you started to grow apart.Â
It didnât end with a big argument, or a failed love confession, or anything like that. It just slowly faded out until only the ashes of your friendship remained. Heâd made a new, larger group of friends, and youâd found your own circle.Â
With the boost of maturity high school came with, your feelings slowly died down, and you let them. Deciding it would always just be a fun childhood crush youâd keep stored in the depth of your heart and think back of fondly someday.
Little did you know, the real change would only come after college started.Â
Once again, the two of you ended up unknowingly following each other in your academic career. But with college being a much bigger world than high school, you hadnât taken notice of his presence until the first two weeks of the semester had already gone by.Â
You were on your way to your philosophy class, and with the sports department on your way, youâd walked through the halls leading to the various gymnasiums.Â
And thatâs when you bumped into each other.Â
He was walking out of the training room, hair drenched in sweat, t-shirt stained, droplets running down his jaw, as he held a towel against his neck.Â
âOh shit, Iâm sorryâ Are you okay?â was all you heard before your eyes landed on the most beautiful guy youâd ever seen.
Your hand suddenly stopped rubbing at the side of your head where your bodies collided, and you stared up at him with your lips parted in surprise, and your eyes wide open.
His hair was slightly shorter and you could tell heâd recently had it trimmed, his undercut still fresh. His face was now adorned with two scars, one across his nosebridge and the other on the corner of his mouth. You couldâve sworn his jaw and neck had gotten bigger and sharper tooâlike the rest of his body.Â
Suddenly, you werenât the mature college student youâd grown to be. No, now you were back to the carefree middle school girl with a fat crush on her childhood best friend.Â
It was unfair really, how much of a grip he had on you. And so effortlessly, too. No matter what stage of your life you were at, your heart refused to let him go.Â
âY/N? Is that really you?â His eyebrows raised, mimicking yours. âWow, I didnât know you also went here.â he smiled. One of those heart-stopping smiles where his dimples showed.Â
Those dimples really would end you one day, you were sure of it.
âI⊠yeah, I didnât know you went here either.â you stutter, still too shocked to speak.
âI wasnât planning on it, but I got offered a scholarship, soâŠâ he shrugged.
âA sports scholarship?â you immediately asked.
âYeah! Howâd youââ he started, bright-eyed, and then froze. âRight. Itâs not really hard to guess when I suck at every other subject, huh?â he scratched the back of his neck.
You blink a couple times before letting out a small chuckle. âYeahâŠâ
He raised an eyebrow, pretending to be offended. âOh come onâIâm not that bad, am I?âÂ
You look away, feigning innocence. âWellâŠâ
He only laughs, and you do the same.
It was weird, talking to him like this, as if you hadnât become strangers in the last couple of years. But youâd be lying if you said it didnât feel nice.
âI should probably go now,â you say, taking a step further from him.
âOh, okay then.â His smile softened, and he raised a hand to wave as he walked backwards into the locker rooms. âIâll see you around?â
You nod, before turning around, and walking to your class.
And from that day on, the two of you would not stop bumping into each other. Which was weird because you hadnât changed your routine or any of your usual routes to class. But you werenât complaining. Because in all honestyâhe kept getting cuter and cuter every time you saw him.
And your conversations also grew longer.Â
Eventually the two of you had exchanged numbers to keep contact.
Heâd gotten back his habit of randomly facetiming you and spamming you, and you continued to respond just as eagerly.
One day, the two of you met up after school and you had picked up on his bad mood. When you pried for long enough, heâd told you he was at risk of losing his scholarship because of his bad grades.Â
Almost immediately, you offered to tutor him.
And thatâs when it really started going downhill.
You started seeing each other even more often. Most of the time it was for your tutoring sessions, but sometimes youâd just go to the movies, or hang out at a coffee shop after your classes.
And it wasnât until the two of you had fallen back into this familiar routine that youâd realized how much you had missed him these past years.
Things were going well. His grades were getting better, you went out on dates (not technically), heâd invite you to his basketball games to support him, and youâd force him to tag along on your book club meetings sometimes.Â
Truly, you hadnât been happier in years.Â
So it shouldnât come as a surprise that your friendship wasnât the only thing that had sprung back to life.Â
Youâd fallen for him again. This time even harder, somehow.
Except this time you werenât just a middle schooler going through her awkward phase, content with watching him from afar.
Things had changed. You were both adults now.Â
And you couldnât just be satisfied with crushing on him anymore.Â
So you decided youâd tell him how you feel, once and for all.
You werenât sure what to expect exactly, but you were done with letting opportunities slip from your fingers.Â
So on the evening where youâd finished your exams for the semester, you decided to go out and celebrate with a couple of friends at a local restaurant with good food and some drinks.
Heâd chosen to sit right next to youâand you had tried not to let it get to your head. Because you had to stay focused and mentally practice how you were going to confess your feelings.Â
Tonight was the night, you could feel it. The semester was over, everyone was in a good mood, and you were all dressed up and pretty.
Near the end of the night, after everyone had gone back to their dorms, the two of you remained alone.
You were only a little tipsy, and thankfully, Yujiâs iron stomach had kept him pretty much sober. So here you were, balancing yourself on the curb, with your best friend carefully holding his arms out for you in case you fell.Â
âIâm sooo glad I ran into you in the sports blockâŠâ you stared at your feet as you took small steps, with your arms held out in a perfect T-pose.
âMe too⊠hey be carefulââ he scolded.
ââM fine!â you giggled.
He lets out a small sigh, keeping a hand at a painful distance away from your lower back to support you.Â
You open your mouth to speak up again, but you take a misstep, and feel your world tilt on its axis. A gasp leaves you, but Yujiâs quick to react.
He catches you immediately, in bridal style. Heâs slightly out of breath, not because heâs having a hard time holding you, but because you scared the hell out of him. He readjusts you in his arms, holding you tighter.Â
Your eyes widen, and your cheeks flush, as he fills your line of sight. His handsome features only accentuated with the streetlampâs lighting.Â
âYou good? I told you to be careful.â
Your eyelids drop again, nearly closing, as you stare up at him with dimmed eyes. A beat of silence passes.Â
Nowâs your chance.Â
âYuji?â
â... yeah?â
âIâm in love with you.â you blurt out.
He almost loses his grip on you from sheer surprise.Â
Another pause.
âYouâre drunk. You donât know what youâre saying.â he swallows, and from the angle youâre at, you see his adamâs apple bob clearly. It takes everything in you to stop yourself from burying your face in his neck
âIâm only tipsy.â you pout, the gesture not really helping to prove your point. âI know what Iâm saying, Yuji.â
He clears his throat and tears his gaze off of you before he continues walking. âNo, you donât.â
âYes I do! Just because Iâm tipsy doesnât mean Iâm dumb.â You let out an annoyed whine and hit his chest, albeit weakly. âIâve always loved you! I just⊠never told you.â you add, quietly.
His footsteps slow, but he doesnât stop walking. â... what do you mean âalwaysâ?â
âI mean ever since we were kids, duh. Are you stupid or something?â you chuckle again.
He swallows again, this time harder. He grows silent once more, but now youâre too preoccupied with what you just confessed to continue talking. A heavy weight settles in your stomach as you slowly come back to your senses.Â
âDo you⊠not feel the same?â you finally look up at him.
You donât miss the way his lips purse awkwardly, or how his jaw clenches. He keeps quiet, refusing to answer you.
âYuji, put me down.âÂ
He looks down at you and hesitates for a moment before setting you back down on your feet.Â
His hands rest on his hips as he looks at the ground.Â
At the sight of his posture, and the heavy sigh that escapes him, you finally understand.Â
â... You donât feel the same, do you?â
He takes a couple seconds before meeting your eyes with an apologetic look. â... No, I donât. Iâm sorry.â
You feel your heart shatter, and you stagger back a couple steps, still feeling a little nauseous and dizzy from the alcohol.Â
He moves to steady you again but you stop him.Â
Once you regain your balance, you cross your arms. âRight, well⊠this is awkward.â you clear your throat.
âA little,â He scratches at the back of his head. âCan we still be friends though? I donât⊠want to lose my best friend.â
Your heart sinks further down to your stomach at the words âbest friendâ and you try your best not to let it show. You nod, âOf course, weâll always be best friends.â you slowly look up at him with a small, tight-lipped and forced smile.
He nods in response, before awkwardly offering you his hand to help you wobble back to your place.
The following days, nothing had really changed, the two of you refusing to mention the elephant in the room. Itâs like you had made an unspoken agreement not to speak about that night.Â
You continued texting, facetime, hanging out, etc.Â
It was now winter break, so you had plenty of time to see each other.Â
Except that no matter how hard you tried, you couldnât ignore the ache in your heart every time you saw him. So it was after a lot of consideration and reluctance that you slowly started distancing yourself from him.Â
By the end of the first week, youâd managed to find excuses to avoid seeing each other in person, but kept calling and texting. By the second week, your 6 hour facetime calls turned into vocal messages, and youâd stopped replying to his stories or the silly videos he sent you. And near the end of that same week, youâd managed to completely cut contact for four consecutive days.
You felt bad for ghosting him, but you needed room to breathe and think.Â
Now you had the next two weeks of your break completely Yuji-free.
And it mightâve been hard to believe, but youâd managed to meet someone new in that short amount of time. By the time the new semester started, the two of you had already gone on a couple dates.Â
As for Yuji, you hadnât seen or spoken to him in weeks. And you were finally starting to forget him, little by little. Of course you still werenât over him, but you werenât wallowing in self-pity anymore.
Thankfully, none of your classes were near the sports block so the chances of you two running into each other were slim.Â
At least you thought so.Â
It happened on a random Wednesday as you and your recently official boyfriend waited in line to try out some free cookies for a school eventâyou werenât exactly sure what but hey, free cookies.
Tons of students were gathered in the main atrium of your campus.Â
And thatâs when you spotted a towering head of pink hair in the crowd. You immediately looked away, and hid behind your boyfriend.Â
He laughed at your sudden behaviour and asked what was up, but you denied there being anything wrong. Once youâd convinced him, heâd told you he needed to go to the bathroom and that he wouldnât take long. You reluctantly let him go with a sigh.Â
Great. Now who was going to shield you againstâ
âY/N?â
Fuck.
Maybe heâll go away if you ignore him.Â
A firm hand plants itself on your shoulder. âY/N I know itâs you.â
You slowly turn to face him. âYuji, hi.â
ââHiâ? Seriously?â his eyebrows furrow.
You look away, awkwardly. Why did he have to be so confrontational? And in a public area too?
As if having read your thoughts, he takes a deep breath, and settles down. His voice is quieter now as he speaks. âWhere have you been? Whatâs going on with you?â
Still refusing to look at him, you sigh and fold your arms over your chest. âNothing.â
âNothing? I havenât heard from you in weeks.â He leans his head down as if trying to catch your gaze. And it worksâyour body betrays you and your eyes find his immediately.
His gaze softens. âDid I do something wrong?â he mutters with a pleading look. âJust tell me what I did because I canât lose you again. Youâre my best friend.âÂ
The words make you want to roll your eyes, but you manage to stop yourself. âI donât want to be your friend, Yuji.â you blurt out, without meaning to.
He winces away from you, eyes wide open in shock. And then it clicks. âWait⊠Is this because you like me?â
This time, you canât hold back, and actually roll your eyes. Could he be any more dense? Before you can speak again however, a hand finds your waist and rests on your hip.Â
âHeyâ who is this?âÂ
You wish the earth could shatter and swallow you whole. Â
âThis is Yuji, heâs a friend of mine.â you explain.Â
The tall pink-haired man stares at the guy beside you with a scrutinizing, almost disgusted look. âWhoâs he?â
You hesitate for a moment. âYuji, this is my boyfriend.â
âBoyfriend?â His frown only deepens. âSince when?â
âWe met almost three weeks ago⊠but I asked her out two days ago.â the guy interjects.
You watch the gears turn in Yujiâs head. â... You donât waste time, do you?â
âYuji.â you scold, eyebrows knitted together.
âWhat? Iâm just saying.â he shrugs, acting unbothered, when in reality he was anything but.
âWe should go now.â You give him one last glance before turning to the man beside you.Â
Too conflicted to do anything, Yuji just stands there, watching your retreating figures.Â
It isnât until after at least a minute that he manages to get his feet moving again, deciding to just go back to his dorm.
Things stay the same for the following weeks.Â
And Yuji doesnât understand why he feels an inexplicable rage bubble deep in his gut every time he sees you with him.Â
At first he thought the anger was directed at youâfor ghosting him, for ending your friendship.Â
But after a while he understood that the real person that angered him was your so-called boyfriend.Â
Who the fuck even was that? What kind of manwhore asks a girl out after three weeks? How dare he take you away from him? What did he have that Yuji didnât? Heâd be a much better boyfriend to you than that rando ever will be.
Wait, what?
Boyfriend? No, Yuji didnât see you like that.Â
âŠ
Oh. Maybe he did.
Why was he only just now realizing? Heâd spent his whole life thinking of you as a good friendâand just that. When did things change?Â
Was it when youâd talk his ear off on your walks back home in middle school? Was it when heâd catch glimpses of you talking to your friends in the halls of your old high school? Or was it when youâd unexpectedly barged back into his life like God himself sent you?
Or maybe it was throughout last semester, when youâd lean in just enough for him to smell your perfume while you helped him with homework. Or that time where heâd let you win at an arcade game, unbeknownst to you, and youâd smiled at him while jumping up and down about your victory.Â
Orâmaybe it was the night where youâd confessed your feelings to him. He was already feeling conflicted and woozy that entire evening just from sitting next to you. The way youâd brush his arm, leaning against his shoulder while laughing every time he told a dumb joke. The way your smell intoxicated him and the warmth radiated from your skin. And that look in your eyes as youâd look up at him while he talked.
All these moments had started to blur together, and he couldnât tell what exactly had been the turning point for him. The only thing he knew was that he liked you too.Â
And now he was stuck with this useless and painful piece of information. Forced to watch you be happy with someone who was smart enough to snatch you up before they lost their chance.

"Oi. Boss lady."
âNo.â
One problem at a time, and the spreadsheet in front of you wins by default. Because Column F is wrong. Itâs been wrong for forty fucking minutes, and if it stays wrong for forty seconds longer, you may actually die here at your desk â hunched over, half-blind, and found by Shoko on a Monday morning with your face pressed into a pivot table like a cautionary tale.
"But⊠you don't even know what I was gonnaâ"
"âthe answer is no, Satoru."
Unlike the human embodiment of a headache currently lingering on the other side of your desk, the spreadsheet in front of you is at least pretending to be important.
The chair beneath him creaks, and then comes the silence you know too well. Itâs the one that comes right before he decides to be a problem on purpose. Attention is gasoline and Satoru is, structurally, a fire hazard. Still, your eyes flick up, andâ
"No fairâŠâ he huffs, that ridiculous pout tugging at his lips. âYou didn't even let me finish the question."
Your eyes roll back down.
âMhm.â
"And it was such a good question.â
You turn a page. "Really?â
âYup.â Heâs draped over the corner of your desk now, like gravity has wronged him, whining. âIt was such a thoughtful⊠personal⊠deeply relevant⊠extremely genius level getting-to-know-you tier question thatââ
You scowl. "âSatoru, enough. Just do your job."
It lands harder than expected. The sigh he lets out is deeply, theatrically offended. And when you glance up again, heâs sprawled over that same corner of your desk you made the mistake of clearing for him on day one because youâd thought, foolishly, that giving him a designated surface might contain him.
It had not.
Nothing about Satoru had ever suggested he could be contained.
Snowy white hair falls against his brow, sleeves rolled to his elbows; looking far too expensive and far too comfortable for someone whose official title is intern. His coffee is sweating beside your open planner â the one with a date next week circled in red: WEDDING, scrawled across the margin in your own handwriting. The condensation trails towards a stack of vendor invoices andâ
âŠ
Wait.
Are those the same vendor invoices you asked him to file yesterday?
Fucking great.
âOh, câmonnn,â he grumbles, blinking at you over the rim of those absurdly expensive sunglasses he insists on wearing indoors. âOne question. Just a tiiiiny one. Itâs completely harmless. Humor me, yeah?â
You narrow your eyes.
âSatoru, youâve been trying to ask one question for the last four months.â
âYeah,â he says. âAnd youâve been dodging it for four months. Imagine that.â
Technically⊠four months and four days. But whoâs counting?
With an exhausted groan, your eyes fall shut, pinching the bridge of your nose. Noise drifts in from the hall â the elevator, the printer, a phone trilling somewhere nearby. Â But when you look up again, it all seems to fall away.
Heâs gone strangely still. The smug grin hasnât disappeared, but itâs softened at the edges, hooked at one corner with his head tilted slightly. And those eyesâŠ
Oh.
Thatâs â no. Youâve seen his eyes before. Obviously. Four months of them. But right now, with the morning light doing something cruel and unhelpful behind him, they catch in a way that makes you forget you were mid-thought. The kind of blue that doesnât ask if youâre looking. It already knows.
Which means of course, you look away first. âFine.â Your hand drops as you mutter. âOne question. But if itâs stupid, Iâm sending you back to HR.â
Itâs not much of a threat. Itâs his last day, after all, and for reasons you still donât fully understand, Satoru has always seemed oddly immune to consequences â which, frankly, feels statistically improbable given the amount of shit heâs managed to pull in the few months of being here.
âOne question?â his grin sharpens. You point your pen at him. âDonât make me regret this.â Yet his pleased chuckle is already making you. âAwhh⊠look at you. Finally yielding.â His pen twirls between his fingers, nodding with false solemnity. âOkay. So, hereâs the thing⊠throughout these four months working beside you, Iâve seen a lotâ"
ââthatâs not a question.â You deadpan.
But ignoring you, he reclines back in the chair, hands clasped behind his head.
âLiiiike⊠Iâve seen the exact face you make when Mei-Mei emails you,â he smirks. âEven noticed you work through lunch more than you should. And Iâve noticed that little line right hereââ he gestures vaguely between his own brows ââevery time the budget goes sideways.â
Lips parting, you blink.
âŠwhy is he so observant?!
For someone who acts like he doesnât give a shit, heâs strangely attentive.
You clear your throat, huffing. âOkay⊠whatâs your point?â Your hands straighten a stack of papers that doesnât need straightening. âIs there a question in here somewhere, or are you just reciting my habits back to me for fun?â
His grin is far too pleased. âRelax. Iâm getting there.â And leaning forward, his voice drops, like heâs unraveling a conspiracy. âI just find it interesting how you answer work calls before the second ring. Every damn day. Doesnât matter who it is.â His head tilts with a smug grin. âBut for whatever reason, for the past month, your personal phoneâs been ringing off the hook, and you never pick up. Not once.â
Heat creeps up your neck. Not because heâs wrong â but because heâs right. And he said it like it was nothing. Like noticing the pattern of your avoidance was just something that happened to him between stamps.
Oh.
Way too observant.
Shit. He couldn't have settled on what's your favorite color!? Or, what superpower would you have!? No. Of course he had to go for the fucking jugular.
Okay. Nevermind. Heâs wrong. That is not even remotely whatâs happening. The most committed relationship youâve had is the one with your coffee machine. And yet⊠part of it feels almost cosmically cruel.
Because somehow, this is the second time in a month that someone had looked at the scattered pieces of your life and decided a man must be hiding inside them. Except the first time, you never even got the chance to correct it.
After all⊠how do you tell your mother sheâs wrong?
Last month, you still answered her phone calls.
Not because you expected anything different. But because somewhere between the second ring and the third, thereâs this gap â this stupid, paper-thin gap â where you still believe she might ask how youâre doing and actually wait for the answer.
Some habits taste like smoke. Some burn like liquor. But yours, unfortunately, had always looked a lot like hope.
Hope is a terrible habit youâve never been able to kick.
âOhâuh, hi mom!â
Your phone was wedged between your ear and shoulder while you stepped out of your car, juggling your purse and what was left of your sanity. You were already behind schedule, and your mother was calling â which meant the day had already made its intentions very clear.
âWhatâs up?â the door slammed shut with your hip. âIâm actually about toââ
ââTrish sent the venue photos,â she blurted, launching into a conversation like always.
Blinking, you shook the bitterness away. Striding toward the towering glass of Gojo Corporation. âThatâsâyeah, thatâs great,â you muttered, badge in hand as you pushed through the front doors. âBut Iâm actually heading into work right now? Soââ
ââItâs such a beautiful venue,â she ignored you. âVery traditional, very grand. But you know the Zenin familyâthey never do anything small.â And as she sighed in awe, you resisted the urge to roll your eyes.
The rational part of your brain told you to let this go to voicemail. But the rational part of your brain has never once won this fight. BecauseâŠ
Hope is a terrible habit youâve never been able to kick.
"Mom, I'm sure it's lovely, really⊠but I'm kind ofâum, excuse meâŠ" you pivoted around a man in the bustling lobby with a sigh. âSorry. Iâm literally walking into the building right now? But maybe we can revisit this later andâ"
"âhave you booked your flight yet?"
Your mouth flattened.
Clearly, your half of this conversation is optional.
âNo⊠not yet,â you mumbled, as patiently as you could manage, jabbing the up button harder than necessary. âItâs been a crazy ass week so I havenât had a chance to, butââ
ââevery week is a crazy week for you.â The huff she let out sounded almost offended by the inconvenience of your life. âWhy canât you just book it now while weâre talking? I mean, it literally takes five minutes.â
A miracle, really, that your blood pressure isnât a medical emergency.
Every week is a crazy week?
Yeah. No shit.
Two managers resigned last quarter. Another got escorted out by security. And their work didnât disappear. No. It landed on your desk. Because thatâs how it goes. Thatâs how itâs always gone. Group projects. Internships. End-of-quarter disasters no one else wanted to touch. If something needed fixing, it found its way to you.
Youâre the one people relied on.
Just⊠never the one people chose.
âMother. Iâm at work,â you said, stepping into the elevator as the doors slid open, dropping your voice as you stabbed at floor fifteen. âLookâIâm about to walk into an eight a.m. meeting. But Iâll book it tonight, promise.â
ââŠeight a.m.?â she repeated slowly, before letting out a small, unbothered laugh. âOh! Right. Itâs eight p.m. here. Silly me. I keep forgetting.â
âŠ
Keep forgetting?
She keeps forgetting that sheâs ten thousand miles away? Forgetting that twenty years ago she abandoned you in another country to live abroad in Japanâhanding you to your grandparents like a detail she'd get back to later?
How convenient that she forgot that.
The elevator slid shut, and you watched the numbers tick upward. âUm. YeahâŠâ you managed, trying to keep the hurt out of your voice. âAnyways. Iâll book it tonight. After work. Okay?â
"Okay, okay. Sure. Sounds good. But are you bringing anyone?â
Squeezing the strap of your bag, you swallowed the lump in your throat. This again? The last thing you needed was to walk into your shitty eight a.m. meeting looking emotional.
No thanks.
âI⊠uhâŠâ you cleared your throat. âI umâactuallyâhavenât decided yet. But anyways, I gotta go, soââ
âWaitwatiwait. Havenât decided? Does that mean⊠you actually found someone?!â
Her voice pitched up so fast it almost startled you, and your mouth dropped so low it couldâve hit floor one.
Shit.
âI-IâI didnât sayâ"
ââoh, thank God. This is incredible!!â she squealed. âWeâve been so worried. I meanâTrish is younger than you and she figured it out,â her tongue clicked. âPeople have been asking questions, you know. Your aunt Sara keeps bringing it up every time I see her andââ
ââMom, Iâ"
ââItâs about time,â The laugh she let out was relieved, like a problem in her life had finally begun resolving itself. âYou canât keep putting love on hold forever, because men arenât going to wait around forever. Youâre already twenty-sixânot getting any younger, dear.â
Love?!
Who has time for that?
And why the fuck is twenty-six the age a woman expires?!
âWhatâs his name?â she pressed, practically beaming through the phone. âWhat does he do? Is he from there, orâoh, is he Japanese? Your father would love that, he always saidââ
And she was off.
Spinning an entire man out of thin air. An entire future, really. Building him in real time from a tiny slip up you had because you were too tired and cornered and desperate enough to answer the phone in the first place. And you stood there, letting her. Because interrupting her has never once worked in the history of your life.
ââactually, never mind,â she chirped a moment later, as if she was being considerate now. âYou have work. Iâll call tomorrow and you can tell me everything, yes? Okay, bye-bye honeyââ
Click!
And just like that, the elevator went quiet. You were left staring at your reflection in the metal doors, phone pressed to your ear, listening to the silence where your motherâs voice had been.
âWeâve been so worried.â
âŠ
If they were so worried⊠why had you spent most of your life learning to take care of yourself? And yet, the second there might be a man, suddenly youâre worth getting excited about?
Funny how that works.
Scoffing, you lowered the phone, shoving it into your bag just as the elevator chimed open. Itadori Yujiâs head snapped up behind the reception desk.
âMorning, boss,â he waved, radiating sunshine as you walked towards the conference room. âKentoâs asking if youâre still good for the budget review at eight⊠or if I should just tell him to panic.â
Your smile softened, burying the sting. âYes⊠Iâll be right there.â And as you stepped through the polished glass doors, you played the role youâd always played.
The reliable one. Twenty-six years old, with two masterâs degrees, a career at one of the most competitive corporations in the world, and a team of seven that would quietly fall apart without you.
ButâŠ
None of that glitters quite like a diamond ring, does it?
âOi,â Satoru frowns. âYouâre makinâ that face again.â
âHuh?â
Blinking out of your spiral, your eyes trace back to the man across from you. His chin is resting in his palm, those impossibly blue eyes fixed on you with a quiet stillness that makes something in your chest trip over itself â like a lock turning in a door you didnât know was closed.
âOh.â You clear your throat, forcing the pen back into motion. ââŠwhat face?â
âThe one you make when somethingâs wrong,â he says quietly, gaze unmoving. âWhen youâre upset and trying to act like youâre not.â
For a second â one terrible, unguarded second â you donât have a single thing to hide behind. Itâs just him, looking at you like your well-being is something heâs been keeping track of in a column you didnât even know existed.
But then the sarcasm kicks in, right on time. "Wow," you say, forcing your hands back to the papers in front of you. "So⊠now you read faces?"
âMm... nah. Just yours, sweetheart.â
And that grin â god, that fucking grin â hooks at one corner like he knows exactly what just detonated inside your chest. You donât acknowledge it. Acknowledging things have consequences, and consequences with this man are not something you can afford.
"âŠthatâs highly inappropriate," you mutter, shoving it down. "Letâs maybe redirect some of that insight toward the invoices, yeah?"
âSorry, sorry.â He leans back, hands up like heâs the picture of innocence. âWouldnât wanna start shit with your dear future husband.â His grin goes sharp as he twirls his sunglasses between two fingers. âThough, wow. Tough look for him. Whatever he did, he clearly fucked up bad.â
Why does he sound⊠bitter?
No. You must be imagining it. This is Satoru. Satoru, who treats everything like a joke until proven otherwise. Satoru, who doesnât care enough about anything to sound bitter over a man who may or may not exist.
You scoff. "Youâre making some wildly stupid assumptions right nowâŠ"
He stares at you for a beat, then he flops back in the chair with a dramatic huff, long legs kicking out in front of him, mouth dragging into a sulky pout.
âWell, damn,â he grumbles, pushing his sunglasses up into his hair, rolling his eyes. âNo wonder youâre single if this is how you shut people downâŠâ
The second the words leave his mouth, he blinks. His gaze flicks up to yours like he hears it too late â like he realizes, all at once, how shitty that sounded.And it only feels worse the moment he sees your face.
God.
Of all the places to hit.
âOho⊠wow. Okay. This?â you say with a thin, self-deprecating laugh, chair scraping as you shove back from your seat. âYeah. This is exactly why I shouldnât have let you ask, Satoru.â You reach for your planner, your purse, anything to do with your hands besides let them shake.
He straightens, watching you scramble. âWhoa. Wait. Iâ"
ââbecause you donât know when to stop!â The words come out louder than you mean, blinking at the sting behind your eyes. âYou just keep pushing and pushing and pushing until you get what you want. Well good. I hope youâre happy.â
Before you can turn away, heâs on his feet. âWaitââ And the moment his hand catches yours, you freeze, breath snagging.
His voice is quieter now. His grip is firm yet gentle, and the air between you shifts, while something warm and uneasy twists low in your chest. The kind of feeling that makes you want to lean in and run in the same breath.
Though your eyes stay down. âSatoru⊠let go.â
âI didnâtâŠâ he starts, then stops, gaze flicking to where his fingers still circle your wrist â before climbing back to your face, slower this time. âIâm⊠sorry. I justââ His mouth tightens. âI see how hard you work, okay? I see it. And every time that phone rings, you get this look on your face like itâs already ruined your day before you even touch it. AndâŠâ His brows pinch. âFuck. I dunno why, but it pisses me off!â
Your gaze hesitantly drags to his, and the look in his eyes is softer than they have any right to be â all that blue, stripped of its usual sharpness, turned careful. Like heâs stepping toward something breakable and knows it. Like⊠if he asked once more, something in you might actually give.
âSatoruâŠâ your breath hitches. âI-Iâ"
âOh, finally.â
Shokoâs voice trails in, and your head snaps up so fast your neck almost goes with it. Sheâs leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, coffee in hand â looking like a woman who arrived exactly on time for something she's been expecting all week.
Her gaze flicks down to where heâs holding you, and the corner of her mouth twitches.
"Sooo⊠not to interrupt whatever this is," she says, taking a sip, "but Kento's one eye-twitch away from a medical event. He needs you to sign off on the variance line before he starts reconciling his own will andâ"
You're already jerking your hand back. "Yupâcoming!" And as you step away, heat floods your face, but you don't look back. Not once. Not even when you feel him still standing there, watching you go.
Because looking back would mean acknowledging that something just shifted. And you are not â not â doing that today.
Unlike those invoices, perhaps some things are better left⊠unfinished.
Youâre gone in a blur of heels, nerves, and professional self-preservation, leaving Shoko trailing behind and Satoru staring at the empty doorway like maybe the conversation might wander back through it.
It doesnât.
And itâs not long before his mouth is pulling into a slow, petulant poutâjust before he flops back in the chair with all the elegance of a man personally betrayed by the universe.
Un-fucking-believable.
Heâd almost had you! After four months and four days of being stonewalled, redirected, and professionally shut down, youâd finally looked like you might give him something. A crack. A sliver. And then Kento had to ruin it with his stupid reconciliation sheet, his stupid earnest face, and his stupidly impeccable timing.
âŠ
He could fire Kento.
Should he fire Kento?
As tempting as that thought is, Satoru settles for glaring at the empty doorway a second longer before dragging a hand down his face and raking it back through his hair. Thereâs no point. This performance will end soon. Because by this time tomorrow, heâll be on a flight back to Tokyo. Where he can resume the slow, agonizing process of preparing to inherit a company he didn't actually give a shit about.
'Grow up, Satoru.'
'Apply yourself, Satoru.'
'You have no idea what it takes to run something like this, Satoru.'
Right. Because apparently, the heir to a multinational corporation needed to learn humility. Alphabetize files. Sit in a cubicle. Fetch coffee like some goddamn spreadsheet slut with a trust fund and nowhere to put it.
Four years of business school, two years shadowing his father; and yet, this is what they had for him?!
He scoffs. And when his gaze drops to the wreckage of your desk, heâs pulling the stack of vendor invoices toward him with a sigh that sounds put-upon even to his own ears. Youâve been nagging him about filing them for the better part of the week and⊠the least he can do is clear one thing before he goes.
The stamp thuds against the first page. Then the next. Then the next. And with muscle memory taking over, his face goes blank in the way it always does when boredom finally wins. Itâs mindless shit. Still, heâs used to it. So naturally, when the phone on your desk buzzes, he doesnât think twice; snatching it up, tucking it between his ear and shoulder as he reaches for the next invoice.
Itâs probably another budget nuisance. Or Mei. Or one of the other thousand little crises that seem magnetically drawn to your extension.
âYo,â another stamp echoes. âSatoru speaking.â
Thereâs a sharp inhale. ââŠwho?â
His brow lifts. âUh⊠Satoru?â Another thud of ink slams against the paper and he huffs, annoyed. âWhat do yâneed?â
The line goes quiet for a beat too long. Before the woman on the other end finally murmurs, âSatoruâŠâ Sighing in awe. âWhat a lovely name. Is that Japanese?â
"Uh⊠yeah?â he snorts, flipping to the next page. âI mean. Last I checked.â
âMm⊠I thought so!â She giggles. And her voice pitches like she's just unwrapped a present she didn't know she was getting. âSo⊠Satoru. Why exactly are you the one answering her phone, hm?â
âŠ
Why the hell does this woman sound so invested? And why is she asking questions that should be obvious?
Frowning down at the invoice, he stamps it harder.
âBecause it rang?â He says it like itâs obvious. âAnd uhâsorry, but. Maybe because Iâve been with her for months, so⊠why the hell wouldnât I?â
"Months?!â A soft gasp crackles, far too delighted. âYou'veâyou've been with her for months?!"
"Mmm⊠four months and four days, technically."
Heâs been her intern for that long.
Thatâs the question, right?
"âtechnically?!" she squeals, like the word personally seduced her. "Ohmygoodnessâoh, this is perfect. Four months and four daysâthat is so specific.â
He blinks. But she doesnât give him time to process.
âLook at you Mr. Devoted. Keeping track. I was starting to worry sheâd never find someone like you. Every time I asked it's like pulling teeth. But I knew there had to be someone. I told her fatherâI said, there is a man, I can feel it.â
Pausing mid-stamp, the words slowly begin to catch up. Satoru straightens.
"âŠsorry. Who is thiâ"
ââeveryone is so excited to meet you at Trishâs wedding. I already reserved your seat andâ"
Her voice keeps going⊠and going⊠and going. He pulls the phone away slowly as her voice echoes on the receiver, staring down at the phone in hand to see:
đ Mom
Oh.
Oh, shit.
This is not your work phone. Your work phone is currently sitting at its dock twelve inches to his left. And it dawns on him that he accidentally just spent the last sixty seconds answering your personal phone like an absolute jackass andâ
"UhâŠâ he backpedals. âWait. Iâ"
"I told Sara, I said, we have to meet him andââ
"Stop. I-I really thinkâ"
ââSatoru, what are you doing?â
His head snaps up at the sound of your voice, mouth dropping as he sees you standing at the doorway, eyes wide in horror.
Oh, fuck.
âWho is on the other end of that phone,â you hiss.
He winces, pulling the phone from his ear like itâs toxic â and youâre snatching it right out of his hand. He lets you have it without a fight, sinking back into the chair like heâs trying to physically dissociate from the situation heâs just created while you press the phone to your ear.
âAnd I meanâŠâ she rambles. âI certainly was never one to wait around at twenty-six, believe me. Butâ"
"Mom."
"Oh! Honey!â She gasps. âOh, my goodness, hiâI was just having the loveliest chat withâ"
"I'm at work. Gotta go."
"âokay! I can't wait to meet Satoru, heâ"
Click!
The phone sits in your hand like evidence.
And Satoru â to his credit â has the decency to look like a man standing in the blast radius of his own stupidity. His mouth opens. Closes. Opens again. Like heâs rehearsing an apology in a language he hasnât learned yet.
You stare at him.
He stares at you.
And somewhere ten thousand miles away, your mother is already calling your aunt Sara.
âSooo⊠funny storyâŠâ
ââwhat did you do?!â
Satoru flinched, and now, the tears were already rolling down your cheeks â hot, fast, completely unauthorized. Not the kind you could disguise as allergies or blame on the air conditioning. No. The ugly kind.
Great. Fucking great.
You were standing in the middle of your own office, in the building where you work, crying in front of your intern. And Satoru felt the weight of it all at once. In the last four months, he had seen you in every flavor of workplace misery there was. Pissed off, stressed out, one spreadsheet away from actual murder.
But cry?
Never.
And this had his fingerprints all over it.
"Shit," he breathed, panic flashing across his face. "Iâfuck. Okay. Please don'tâI can fix this. I canâ"
"Fix this?" A splintered laugh ripped out of you, and you hated how thin it was. "Fix what, Satoru? You just confirmed a boyfriend to my mother, a boyfriend that doesn't existâand she is, at this very moment, probably alreadyâ"
Another break in your voice cracked, and you squeezed your eyes shut, pressing your hand to your forehead hard like you could hold the tears in by sheer force. But it only made it worse, because now you could feel the wetness on your own face, the heat of it under your palm, and the mortification landed like a second wave.
God. How fucking humiliating.
"Hey, heyâit's okay,â his voice softened. âWe'll just⊠call her back. Right? Tell her it was a misunderstanding. Easy."
âEasy?â you scoffed, the word coming out strangled. âY-You donât understand my mother, Satoru,â you managed, voice gone thin as thread. God, you sounded like a child. âIf she thinks something is true, then itâs true. Thatâs it. Thatâsâthereâs no correcting her, thereâs no walking it back, sheâs already told my aunt Sara by now and Saraâs told Trish andâoh, fuckââ
Another sob tumbled out, and your fingers dug harder into your temple.
God. Stop it.
Stop it stop it stop it.
Think.
Think logically. You're good at this. You solve problems for a living.
But every time you tried to grab onto a thought, it slipped â replaced by the echo of your mother's voice, high and delighted. The happiest she'd sounded talking to you in years. Maybe ever.
âŠwhat look will she give you when you show up alone?
"I canât," you whispered, and the word came out waterlogged. "I-I'm supposed to get on a plane to Japan in a week andâdo what? Tell them there's no one? Tell them I'm stillâ"
Single.
The word sat in your mouth like a stone. You didnât realize youâd gone silent until the silence itself started ringing â your sniffling, the hum of fluorescent lights, the muffled life of the office continuing beyond the door like yours wasnât actively coming apart at the seams.
And through all of it, you could feel Satoru looking at you. His stillness; holding you with an expression you'd never seen on him before and couldn't categorize if you tried.
"UmâŠâ he looked down, scratching the back of his neck. âSoooo... the wedding's in Japan?"
You blinked. âWhat?â And as you wiped your face with the back of your hand, his gazed tentatively flicked back up. âThe weddingâŠâ he repeated, voice careful. âItâs in Japan?â
"Yes." Your brow furrowed, not understanding. "Why?"
He didn't answer right away. Just looked down at the floor for a second, jaw shifting, like he was turning something over in his head â something he hadn't fully assembled yet but could already feel the shape of.
"Huh⊠okay."
Okay what?
You watched his expression change in real time â from guilt to calculation to something else. "Right then!" He said, clapping his hands once, bright and sudden. "No biggie. I'll just go with you."
No biggie?
Your mouth dropped.
That wasnât even an option, was it?
âŠis he crazy?
âYouâre kidding,â your laugh was awkward and breathless. His eyes rolled with a smug grin. âSweetheart, câmon,â and he was gesturing between the two of you like the answer was sitting there in plain sight and you were the only person in the room committed to not seeing it. "Your family thinks you're bringing someone? Cool." A hand pressed to his chest with theatrical solemnity. "I'm someone."
You stared at him. Genuinely stared.
Oh. He wasnât kidding.
Yup. Heâs crazy.
"You are not 'someone,' Satoru. You are my intern."
âYeah. For like⊠another six hours?"
He checked his watch with a shrug, and your lips flattened.
"âŠthat is not the point."
âMm⊠feels a little like the point."
He smirked, but it faded faster than usual, dimming at the edges as his blue eyes hesitated on yours. Something shifted in his posture; the performance pulling back, like a tide going out. "Um⊠lookâŠ" He pushed off the desk, stepping closer. "Itâs really no hassle." He said, hands sliding into his pockets. "I already have a flight scheduled. My family's in Tokyo. And I was going back after this internship anyway, so⊠this just moves my timeline back a little."
He was shrugging like it wasnât a big deal. Like he wasnât agreeing to fly across the world with you and walk straight into the disaster that was your family.
âŠ
His familyâs in Japan too?
You barely knew anything about him. He kept his life sealed off with the same practiced deflection you kept yours â jokes in place of answers, charm in place of honesty. You never bothered to ask, because asking meant caring and that was a door you never intended to walk through with anyone.
ButâŠ
"Just⊠let me come with you. Iâll be your boyfriend for the weekend. For the wedding. For⊠whatever you need,â he said. And this time, when he stepped closer, there was no grin to hide behind. "I can be useful. I caused this. So⊠let me fix it."
Heat creeped up your neck, and you scoffed, weakly.
"Okay⊠but you can't fix my mother."
"NoâŠâ he murmured, tilting his head. His hand came up and brushed a tear trailing down your cheek with a careful gentleness. âBut⊠I can make sure you don't have to walk in there alone?"
Your breath hitched, and when your eyes finally lifted, the morning light was being cruel again â catching in that impossible blue and turning it soft. Like stained glass dipped in sunlight. Like something holy made dangerous by the simple fact that it was looking straight at you.
âShut up,â you mutter, looking away too fast to be convincing.âThat was not a look. I was justââ You grimace. ââŠnever mind.â
Heâs chuckling as you brush past him. And his words are what scared you the most. Which was bad. Very, very bad. Because your mother was one problem. Japan was another. But Satoru looking at you like that?
ShitâŠ
That felt like the kind of complication that didnât stay neatly contained. And you knew better than anyone. Nothing about Satoru had ever suggested he could be contained.

âIt was rare for Yuji Itadori to keep things from you. He didnât like keeping secrets, it made something tight bud in his chest and made him feel guilty every time he looked at you. He only ever kept one secret, not only from you, but from the world.â

In a mess of crushing expectations and unfamiliar fluttering in your chest, you somehow cross paths with Tokyoâs one and only Spiderman. Maybe the eerie similarity he has to your best friend isnât a coincidence at all, nor is the odd care he has for you. OR Four times Spiderman loved you, one time Yuji did it himself.
a/n â hi sofia yes this is for you teehee @rreveurdoll . I actually love spiderman yuji so much heâs been sitting in my notes app since august he just suits it saurrrrrrrr well I canât do this itâs so uhghhughf. Also iera agreed with me so it was my final push hai ily
There was always a certain sort of familiarity about spiderman, a tranquil warmth that reminded you of something you could never quite put your finger on. It radiated from him like aura, constantly flowing but never really explaining itself. It was apparent in the way he held youâarm under your knees and another around your shoulders, almost as if he knew you were ticklish in the sides, like he knew you better than you knew yourself. The way he talked to you like heâd done it a million times before, his eyes lingering on the curve of your lips for just a beat too long, it was just so⊠knowing. Every time he interacted with you, it felt like he knew something you didnât. That was because, well, he did.
It was rare for Yuji Itadori to keep things from you. He didnât like keeping secrets, it made something wretched bud in his chest and made him feel guilty every time he looked at you. He only ever kept one secret, not only from you, but from the world. The hundreds, maybe thousands of people that might kill him if given the chance. And if you knew, maybe theyâd get to you too. He couldnât have that. It already haunted his every waking moment and it hadnât even happened yet. Yet. That was the thing, it could happen at any moment. If he was the cause of your demise, he couldnât forgive himself. So he tried his best, tried to keep his lips sealed the best he could, even if he struggled sometimes.
The first time you met spiderman, he almost screwed up. Already.
Youâd somehow gotten caught up in the midst of a battle, the bakery you worked at getting completely annihilated by the commotion, so being the ever brave and courageous citizen you were, you ran for your fucking life. You somehow found it in you to remain at least relatively calm⊠until barely dodging a chunk of concrete thrown your way. The composure seemed to fade from there. You could feel your heart jumping out of your chest, but all you could think about was that you were lucky it was still beating.
Thatâs when he came swinging in. Literally. It was a flash of red out of the corner of your eye at first, you barely even paid any mind to it. But then his voice rang out with a call to you, and you couldnât look the other way anymore.
âHey! Y- miss!â
You took a moment to glance back, your loss of breath catching up to you as you panted and heaved. His feet hitting the ground was nothing but a small thump, swallowed up by the chaos bleeding in around you. âYou canât be out in the open like this. Itâs dangerous.â
You couldnât see his face, but you could basically hear the furrow of his brows. Through your pants, you managed gasp out a reply that you fear was just a bit too sassy. âI know. Thatâs why Iâm running.â
His face fell just the slightest bit under the mask, but beneath that layer of latex was almost a smile. He found it hard to be amused right now, because honestly, when he saw you he felt like throwing up. Even before that, when heâd looked at the destroyed shell of what was your workplace, something sick twisted in his gut. It wasnât fear, no, more than that. After every punch at the enemy came a glance among the crowd, desperately hoping to see you in one piece. When he landed in front of you and the first thing youâd said was dry and sassy and completely you, he couldnât help the way his nerves felt just a little less racked. He wanted to hug you, to pull you into his arms and tell you how happy he was to see you, maybe get a kiss if he was luckyâ huh?
But he wasnât Yuji, and only Yuji had that sort of privilege. He was spiderman. He was a masked vigilante that youâd never been face to face with, so he tried to keep up the act. Therefore all he did was reply with a soft âyeahâ before scooping you up and carrying you to safety, because thatâs what spiderman does. He wouldâve done it for anyone, really! But he handled you with just a bit more care, just a bit more warmth in those blank white eyes of his suit, because you werenât just anyone. You were you.
He left you on the side of an untouched street feeling breathless and confused. Maybe you were naive, because his voice alone shouldâve told you exactly who it was from the beginning. But there was a ringing in your ears from the noise, and your knees felt wobbly as well as your lips. You could barely think straight, so who could blame you? Mentally unmasking Tokyos famous spiderman wasnât a common task in any situation, especially yours. Assuming it was your best friend felt crazy. Instead you remained oblivious and shaken on the side of the street, and he remained determined in the fight thinking of nothing but you.
â âź á°
The second time you met spiderman, the circumstances still werenât great, but this time your life wasnât on the line. Well, at least not literally.
The nights air was cold, nipping at your tear stained cheeks and clinging to the dampness left in its wake. Your eyes stung, both from the chill and the bitterness that welled up in your waterline and spilled over, only to drip down and fade away into the fabric of your jeans. Completely insignificant, but to you, they fell heavy. They beat down on you in a mocking rhythm, every droplet a reminder of the crushing weight of your failure. It was suffocating, but truly, would the lightness be any better? Would the complete lack of fulfillment, whether that be bliss or anguish, be less unbearable than the ache in your shoulders and the squeezing in your chest? You think that if it were, you wouldnât still be sticking around. You wouldnât be doing this. You just wouldâve liked to feel less alone in the midst of it.
Your legs dangled freely over the stairs, the rusted metal of the fire escape not doing much to cage you in. As you swung them, felt nothing but air and the awareness of the ground so distant below, you got a taste of the lightness. A taste of your freedom, of your insignificance. Maybe that was all you needed to handle the rest of the weight.
As if your longing had been personally alerted to the universe, you heard a shuffling behind you. Your head whipped around just a little too fastâmaking something in your neck pop and reminding you that you really need to stop hunching over your laptopâenough to make your panic rather obvious. You were about to wonder how someone even made it up here, but then you saw him. The culprit stopped in his tracks, raising his two covered hands in an (unnecessary) surrender. It wasnât like you could defend yourself if you tried, anyway. You were sat awkwardly on a set of rusted metal stairs with about two feet of space to run. You were no match for him. Fortunately for you, Yuj- spiderman wouldnât dare hurt you. When you continued to stare at him through your teary eyes with a question he couldnât answer, he realized he hadnât come up with something to say. Luckily, you beat him to it.
ââŠspiderman?â Your voice was confused, small and almost weak as you tried to swallow the lump in your throat. He stared at you for a moment, only then remembering who he was. Right now he was spiderman, a stranger, and he had to act accordingly. The thing wasâYuji didnât know how to act like a stranger to you. Youâd become such a constant in each others lives that treating you as if you were unfamiliar simply defied the blood in his veins, the beating of his heart. He felt it thump angrily in his chest at the mere thought, because how could he feign distance when you were the one it beat for?
He cleared his throat. âHi.â
A million questions ran through your head, countless quips or remarks, but your throat constricted around them and forbid them from jumping out. âWhy are you⊠here?â you asked. Your voice was uncharacteristically bland, tired. He didnât like it.
He shrugged, head tilting to the side. He leaned against the building, an attempt to be casual, but the brick was digging into his back and every sense he had was screaming at him to leap forward and hold you, to take the mask off and be who you needed. But when he considered the thought, the images of what might follow flashed through his mind like memories yet to come. He kept the mask on.
âWell, I was out⊠you know⊠doing spiderman things. And then I saw you. Looked like you could use a friend.â
Honestly? Yuji being out here was no sort of coincidence. The moment heâd felt a familiar tingling in the back of his mind, he was landing here before he could question why. In his soul, he knew why, knew it better than anyone. If Yuji couldnât be there for you because he was spiderman, spiderman would have to fill in.
He paused, eyes trailing over the sag in your shoulders and the darkness under your eyes. You looked different than the last time heâd seen youâhad it been weeks? A pang of something glum shot through him at the realization.
âWhat about you?â he asked, that teasing, spiderman-esque tone fading into something softer.
âHuh?â
âWhatâre you doing out here?â
You swallowed thickly. You felt as if you were stuck on a tightrope, looking between a reaching hand and the ground below. Let him slip his hand into yours, hoping it pulls you up, or fall? You were willing to take that risk. âJust⊠been fucking up a lot lately, I guess. This is my escape.â
He paused for a second. âWas that a pun?â
He felt victorious as he took in the subtle curl of your lips. âBut forreal, what do you mean screwing up?â
A soft sigh left your lips, the air pooling in what looked like smoke around your face. You liked thatâyou could tell yourself that was the reason for your blurry vision, not that you were crying. Your fingers were twitching, and he wished he could take them.
âJust⊠nothing has been going right. Got my ass kicked by finals, I feel like shit, and- and usually Iâd have my best friend, butâŠâ you felt a painful throbbing in your chest, what you were about to admit feeling sour and wrong on your tongue. âHe hasnât been answering lately, heâs been⊠distant. Maybe heâs getting sick of me or something, I wish I knew.â
Yuji felt a tightening in his chest that was almost painful. Him. It was him. His spider sense had called him to fix a problem that he was the cause of. Sick of you? No, he could never be sick of you, but right now he felt ill. âHeâd never,â he blurted without thinking, only realizing how odd that sounded once it had already reached your ears. âI meanâ Iâm sure he loves you.â His eyes widened comically. He kept blabbering, and it was only making things worse. âYou seem lovely. Uh-â
To his surprise, you laughed. âOkay, okay, I get the point. Thanks⊠I think?â
He felt the heat that was crawling up his neck lower, simmer into a comfortable nothingness. âYouâre welcome.â
By some strange coincidence, Yuji showed up at your door what mustâve been a mere three hours after your masked friend swung away into the night.
He seemed out of breathâalmost panting, as if heâd just run a marathon (or fought the green goblin). He stood in your doorway, pink locks of hair rubbed in all different directions, chest rising and falling erratically.
Before you could open your mouthâask what he was doing here and what sort of physical activity he was doing in the middle of the night, maybeâhe was hugging you. His firm arms slithered around your waist, tugging you towards his chest without a word. He held you just a little tighter than usual, like heâd been waiting to do it for far too long. He had been.
âI havenât seen you in two weeks,â he murmured, breath warm against your skin.
âI know.â Your words held a sense of bitterness, but you were hugging him back with a tenderness that contrasted what you wanted to feel.
âI missed you.â
How could he say something like that? How could he disappear for weeks and then come back and make your heart clench, because you know he means it? This was Yuji. Your Yuji. He talked to stray cats on the side of the road and was always there to lend a helping hand, whether that be to a sweet old lady or a convicted felon. He wouldnât say he missed you if he didnât, and either way, you knew he did. Whether it felt like it or not, you knew Yuji. You knew he missed you, felt it in the way his fingers gripped at the fabric of your shirt. It was almost desperate, like he was a shell of a man in need of fulfillment. As much as you wished you hated it, you wanted to be that for him.
Thatâs how you ended curled in bed, Yujiâs eyes trailing over your face for just a little too long, so much so that you werenât sure heâd paid any attention to the movie in the first place. You didnât say anything, but Yuji kept you just a little bit closer that night.
â âź á°
The third time you crossed paths with spiderman, it was you who sought him out. Well, sought is a strong word, youâd prefer to say that you gravitated towards him naturally. That wasnât completely a lie, there truly was some sort of magnetic pull to him drawing you near, but your approach was completely by choice. But that wasnât a conversation you were ready for, many layers of psychological complexities that you werenât prepared to peel back, so you instead focused on the blurry red feet dangling from the rooftop and how youâd get up there to join them.
After a number of laps around the building that youâd need two hands to count, you hit the jackpot. Sitting humbly within the shadows of the dark, grey alley was a ladder. It was rickety and rusted and you feared it would be the last thing you ever sawâbut it was a chance. Everyone took chances, didnât they? Everything was a chance, in its own way. Love, hate, that answer scribbled into the last page of your exam that youâre not quite sure about. Spiderman took a chance every time he rounded a new building with those webs of his, took an even greater one with every fight and interaction with the public. He took a chance when he came to see you on that sullen night, and you still didnât know why, but you knew youâd make it your mission to at least somewhat return the favour.
The metal was piercingly cold as your fingers wrapped around it, eliciting a wince from you, but only prompting you to hold on tighter. The sound of your boots clanking against the steps, the small grunt that left your lips as you threw yourself onto the roofâso many sounds barely heard beneath the never ending roar of the city. You heard sirens in the distance, and you wondered why spiderman was sitting in front of you instead of trailing near them.
His eyes met yours (sort of), and Yuji felt something warm flow through his veins. He felt his heart beat just a little quicker, thumping in time with your approaching footsteps. Suddenly the sirens didnât seem so loud, the curse of his heightened senses not feeling so overwhelming as your face came into the light cast from below.
âHey, y/n.â He spoke gently, like the words were something delicate, and theyâd shatter if said too harshly.
He watched the way your eyes widened just slightly, brows twitching upwards in mild surprise. âYou know my name?â
With a slightly wonky smile that you couldnât see, he nodded. âSmall world.â
âIsnât it?â
Your words were meant to be a light response, but they only made the weight in his chest feel all the more dense. He turned back ahead, the cartoonish white eyes of his mask reflecting an infinite, erratic pattern of streetlights. His shoulders hung a little lower than usual, something you didnât fail to catch. You sat beside him, legs hanging over the side of the building. The structure was sturdy and solid beneath your thighs, far more than both the barely-there balance of the ladder and his trembling breaths.
âItâs not, though,â he said softly, so quiet that it was almost whisked away by the winds of the evening. âThe world is big. Too big.â
You tilted your head, hands pressing into the concrete to support your weight, but itching to reach out to him. You couldnât give a reason why if asked, nothing other than the unspoken tranquility between you, like you knew much more than you spoke aloud. âWhat do you mean?â you asked.
âItâs too big. Thereâs too many people, so many that I canât⊠I canât save everyone. Thereâs always casualty in the wake of disaster, because the amount of people barely goes down each time. But- but theyâre all people, they all deserve to be saved, but⊠they canât.â
His words hung in the air, and invisible force between you that pushed down on his shoulders and deepened the furrow in his brows.
âYouâre right,â you said. His head turned more quickly than it shouldâveâhe wasnât expecting that response from you. Maybe youâd have given Yuji a different answer than you would spiderman. âNot everybody can be saved, but you still save people. A lot of them. Imagine if you never showed up, how many more people would die? A lot. Maybe you canât save everyone, but you still save people, and that is what makes you good.â
It was as if your words were a sirens song, soothing him to silence and easing his thumping heart. For the first time ever, Yuji wasnât exactly sure what to say. âYeah,â he breathed after a moment, voice choked. âYeah, youâre right.â
He looked up at you for a beat longer, taking in the way the ridges of your face were cast over by shadows, the way your hair fluttered and danced with every gust of wind. âThank you.â He cleared his throat. âThat friend you mentioned before⊠heâs lucky to have you.â
You shook your head gently. âIf you met him, youâd think otherwise,â you said, oblivious to the fact that though spiderman hadnât technically met Yuji Itadori, he knew him very well. âHeâs great. Much better than me.â The corners of your lips quirked up fondly, something he could only describe as love being the force that pushed your smile wider. âHeâs great,â you said, more breathily this time.
âYeah?â
âYeah.â
The next hour or so was spent sharing mindless conversation, reminiscing over teenagehood in a way that made spiderman feel so close, but so far. He couldnât rid himself of that odd feeling beneath his ribcage, the one that felt like his heart was trying to escape, wailing your name and clawing at him from the inside out. Luckily, the spider-suit did enough to keep it contained.
â âź á°
The atmosphere was tumultuous, the sound of the concrete around them crumbling accompanied by an occasional hiss of web shooting from Yujiâs suit. He moved with a choppy sort of grace, bouncing across alleys and buildings alike.
âIâm sure you could do better than that,â he teased, faux cockiness thick in his tone. A tense, tightly strung determination bled through his tone, too intense to be concealed by thickly coated boyish charm. He lingered on the wall of one building just for the sake of mocking his foe, head tilted to the side almost as if he was genuinely interested.
He quickly flung himself away, just barely missing the swinging, mechanical arm aimed at him.
âAh ah, keep up!â he quipped, though his voice rose with a small yelp as he finished his sentence. It was clear his opponent only got further angered with every tease, wails of rage growing louder with every swing. Spiderman smiled bashfully, rubbing the back of his neck.
âHah⊠guess I shouldnât get too cockyâŠâ
His opponent was some big guy, clad in countless layers of precocious technology that reflected the suns light like a mirror. What he assumed was his chest beneath all that metal was heaving, pants leaving his mouth. Suppose tech canât compete with physical stamina, at least not in this scenario.
âYouâll regret this, spiderman!â he roared, voice scratchy, like he hadnât used it in ages. âSurrender now, or Iâll have to do something I donât want to. Donâtâ donât make it difficult.â His words got darker with every proceeding syllable, almost enough to make Yuji nervous. He was used to these threats, and they were empty more often than not.
âYeahhhâŠâ he drawled, unconvinced. But there was something in him that twisted his gutânot his spider-sense, but something⊠different. Something in his heart told him to worry.
Shaking his head, he made another advance in the direction of the enemy. He hadnât bothered to remember his name, heâd never been a problem until now.
Swerving his hit, the big man continued. âIâve been studying you, spiderman-â he cut himself off with a groan, his incessant speech resulting in an impact meeting his side.
He grinned, malicious and knowing. As if he knew this was a game of cat and mouse, and he had him trapped like a rat. Something about it made Yuji hesitate, made that unfamiliar feeling in his heart throb. Yuji opened his mouth to retort, to at least attempt some sort of return that suited his sarcastic, spiderman fashion, but he was cut off.
âOr rather, Iâve been studying Yuji Itadori.â
He felt himself go immobile, felt his body freeze like an icicle in the midst of winter. His blood felt equally as cold, as if one move would make him shatter. People studied spiderman all of the time. There were news articles and personal reports and attempts at interviewsâeveryone knew everything about spiderman, except for his identity. At least, they did.
In that split second, Yuji had a terrible epiphany. With Yuji Itadori came Y/n L/n, always. A plethora of your shared moments flashed through his mind. Walking you to class, late night trips to the convenience store, all of the places around you that thereâd been someone lurking. Someone just waiting for the right moment, gauging his behaviour and every aspect of his life, no doubt including the way he looked at you. Yuji mightâve seemed dense, but he was perfectly aware of how clear his love for you was. He loved everything, he loved the way the sun casted over the city and the way people lit up when he smiled at them on the street. He loved you most.
The figure looming over him smiled sickly, Yujiâs reaction telling him all he needed to know. As he began circling Yuji like a predator ready to pounce, he couldnât stop him. All he could do was feel the pounding of his heart in his chest and wondering if yours was still able to do the same.
âSo I was thinkingâŠâ the man began, trailing off for the sake of suspense no doubt. âWhatâs a better power to have over someone than love?â
The sinister words swirled in his ears like an echo. His mouth felt dry, the rest of the world fading to TV static as he tried to glance around for any sign of you, but his gaze was far too frantic to make out the shape of the person in front of him let alone you.
With a devilish snigger, you were revealed. Simply based off of the widened state of your eyes and the way you writhed in the rope you were restricted by, it was fairly clear this was news to you. Had your mouth not been taped, he was sure youâd have plenty to say. As his eyes locked with yours, the world slowed to a halt around you. Your gazes spoke louder than any words, louder than any scream into the dead of night. It spoke of love and fear all the same.
âStop,â was all he could croak out. âStop!â he shouted, louder this time as his gaze turned.
âMm.. so I was correct, then?â said the near cyborg beast beside you.
Yujiâs gaze flickered to you, just for a split second. He contemplated lying, but he just⊠couldnât. The words felt bitter and out of place on his tongue, even before they were spoken. So he chose bravery, in every sense of the word, and kept with his offence.
âMaybe, thatâs none of your business,â he grunted, words emphasized with a hit to the manâs gnarly face. Yuji had a new sense of determination, the animalistic instinct to protect you. Heâd already lost so many, lost his parents and his brother and the sense of humanity he grasped on to like the thread he hung by. He wouldnât lose you.
All you could do was watch. You could only sit there like the helpless bystander you loathed to be, staring in horror as who mightâve been the love of your life was pummelled into the ground. It was like a twisted pattern of pain and the red of his blood darkening his suit. With every hit he landed he received tenfold, but somehow he always got back up. That was Yuji for you.
As the fight continued, you couldnât help but begin to notice the obvious similarities between the vigilante and your own best friend. You felt utterly idiotic. Why else would he care so much, who else would you have shared those conversations with? Why else would Yuji look at you just a little different every time you met with spiderman? It all made sense. All of the âIâm sure your best friend is lucky to have youââs and the explanations to Yujiâs actions that seemed just a bit too personal. Now you knew why, and you couldnât even respond to the information, imprisoned by the tape over your mouth and the weight of your obliviousness as the sound of fist against face rang through the streets.
A weak, muffled cry fell from your lips as he was knocked to the ground.
Everything was going in slow motion. The robotic arm raised, hovering over Yuji like a sledgehammer just waiting to pound down. But then there was a metallic whine, and a halt. Panic washed over the manâs face as he frozeâwell, the metal parts of him froze, and those were the only parts that amounted to much.
He sputter and panicked, watching as the countless officers surrounding the area became aware of his suspended movement. It was over, just like that? He seemed just as surprised as you were, and as your eyes met, you were shocked to feel anything in common with him.
When you were freed of the twine that had been keeping you in place, you wasted no time in rushing to Yuji. The red and blue of the lights surrounding you blanketed him, making him appear as nothing but a puddle in the street. He looked completely meltedâlimp, and for a moment you thought he might not live to hear what you had to say.
You pulled his mask up over his face, disregarding the people around you and their wandering eyes. His face was battered and bruised, but undeniably still his, still alive. You felt your shoulders deflate as his throat bobbed, the small, otherwise unimportant motion doing numbers to ease your nerves. He was still here. You could still learn to love spiderman as you did Yuji, youâd still get the chance to feel their hearts beat as one.
His eyes fluttered open, vision bleary from the flashing lights and his lack of consciousness. âY/n?â he muttered, voice nearly inaudible. It was the first thought in his mind when he woke, even before the fuzzy outline of your face came into view. His eyes flickered brighter when they saw you. He knew that face anywhere. âY/n,â he breathed, softer this time.
âYuji-â
âIâm sorry for not telling you,â he mumbled quickly. His hands reached for yours, the shaky, bruised skin wrapping itself in yours. It stung, but the feeling of your fingers intertwined with his was enough to soothe the ache. He was convinced that if you were to kiss every injured part of him, his bones would straighten themselves out for the sole purpose of holding you, because broken arms can not cradle. Snapped fingers cannot run through your hair, so if he were broken, he would repair himself as long as it meant loving you. No amount of bloodshed would keep him away, he would return to you in the winds if he had to.
You chuckled lightly despite the distress of the moment. âFor not telling me what? That youâre spiderman or that youâre in love with me?â
He grinned tiredly, canines peeking out brightly, white against the pink of his lips. âBoth.â
â âź á°
The sound of knuckles against your window was dull and hollow, but not unexpected. It did little to startle you, barely bothering to look up from your textbook as you hunched over your desk.
âItâs open!â you called over your shoulder, followed by the creak of the glass sliding open. The sound of Yujiâs feet meeting the ground pulled you from your school immersed daze, office chair swivelling around to face him.
âYou know, leaving your window open at night is dangerous,â he said, half joking. His mask was already pulled from his face, messy pink hair matted and messy on his head. He was making quick work to pull off the rest of his suit as he spoke, hopping around on one foot as he tried to pry it from his skin.
You responded with an underlaugh, âIâm on the fourth floor. Nobody except spiderman is sliding open my window at eleven at night on a Tuesday.â
âWell-â he cut himself off by knocking into your bedframe. He glanced back to you, cheeks warming in the slightest as he tried to balance himself and remain authoritative. âWell, they might!â he exclaimed. His eyes narrowed, but you didnât find any sense of irritation in them. Within his shining brown irises was concern, the lingering anxiety that came with the events not long before. Yuji had been on edge ever since, constantly glancing around corners and panicking when you were out of sight for even a moment. In the corners of his vision lingered the sight of you helpless, burned into his mind like a tattoo he never wanted.
He tossed the red article somewhere on your floor, disregarding it entirely. He stood above you, arms crossed and trying to look annoyed, but resulting in a different, much cuter pout. He was many things that he wouldnât admit. Tiredâvery much soâfrom spending his day trying restlessly to save lives, scared, and craving the tenderness in your touch that he never received with the mask over his face. When you locked gazes, holding it felt particularly hard for him tonight, because he knew you could see right through him. He felt bare, and not just because you were looking at his real face.
You sighed softly, standing up from the chair. You guess your studying could wait another night, because you knew Yuji couldnât. Your chest throbbed with the thought of the danger he came face to face with constantly, the responsibility he carried on his back through every waking moment. The weight was heavy, and it was exhausting.
Placing a chaste, fleeting kiss on his cheek, you tugged him over to the bed. His hand was soft in yours, a contrast to the callouses and scrapes adorning the skin there.
âCome lie down,â you mumbled.
He glanced between you and the desk you previously occupied, brows knitting together. âWerenât you busy?â
âIâm not anymore. Just come rest with me, please.â You shook your head, earnestly reflecting in your eyes.
He hesitated, opening his mouth to speak. âYou donât have toâŠâ he began, but he stopped himself. He really, really did want to rest. He wanted to listen to your heart beat against your chest and have your breath fan over his skin, he wanted to curl into your embrace and be reminded that in this cruel world was a place of love. He knew that deep down, his heart resided with you, and he never felt it truly thump until he was in your arms. ââŠokay.â
So he crawled into bed with you, tired and almost clingy in his actions. His body slotted against yours like the missing piece of a puzzle, his arms slithering around your waist and face nuzzling into the crook of your neck like it was always meant to be there. He let his ear press against your shirt and hear the life beneath your skin, letting out a breath and physically melting into your arms. He looked so much more gentle like this. He wasnât the sarcastic or silly figure the world knew spiderman to be, he was just a boy that wanted to help. He was just a kid like you who needed to know that there were things left to cherish.
Some would say you had two lovers. One a courageous figure in the night, the other a warm hearted, pink haired student barely making it into college. But you knew that spiderman was nothing but the parts of Yuji that had always lived within, and the bits that defined him most.
That night you traced every line and freckle on his face, committing it to memory because now there was no suit between you. You admired him as he slept, relishing in the tranquility of it all. It was just you and Yuji, flesh and love and transparency all in one.
From then onwards, Yuji fought his battles with just a bit more hope, because he knew youâd be waiting for him by the window when he won.
I MISSED writing for Yuji ugghhhhhhhhhh. If I wrote a part 2 of a strangers heart would yall fw that or nah (wouldnât be for a while tho). I cannot write action at all im so sorry đ also cba to give big scary villain a name so it got repetitive
â I did not tag those who could not be tagged. If you were on the general taglist and donât see yourself, itâs because your tag settings stopped me from doing so.

You and Yuji were always so awkward around each other, to the point that it led to completely red faces and twitching fingers.
Sure, he was a lot more outspoken with strangers and friends, while you were always on the quieter side. And when you did get comfortable with someone, you tended to talk too much.
You envied Yuji a bit. He always knew exactly what to say, and even when he didnât, he had the charm to make it work anyway. But it was more than thatâhe had this boyish charm that sent you reeling, making you kick your feet in your dorm room late at night, squealing into your pillow while playing Beabadoobee on repeat, thinking of him.
You still remember the first time you saw himâpink hair, wide brown eyes, and the cutest smile ever. You were smitten from the beginning. Too shy to talk to him, though. Then, during a mission, you had been paired up with him and Nanami. He kept trying to talk to you, making funny remarks or simply attempting conversation. At one point, he had stared at you, scrunching his face in pure confusion, as if analyzing some small detail. Then he pointed to the corner of your eye, where your glitter eyeshadow shimmered, and said, "That's really pretty." All while rubbing the back of his head with a sheepish smile.
He was the only person who ever really talked to youâaside from the forced interactions Gojo pushed onto others. You figured there had to be something wrong with you. You were too odd, always saying the wrong thing, laughing at the wrong time, tripping over your own two feet. No matter what, you never seemed to fit in or draw anyoneâs attention.
That was until you met Yuji.
Even after that complimentâafter the pale pink dusting your cheeks at this super cute, jacked boy noticing youâit still didnât feel real. This only happened in shoujo anime, right? Yet, despite your awkwardness, despite the way you choked on a simple thank you like you were forcing down thick cherry cough syrup, Yuji just laughed it off. A deep chuckle that reverberated through his body and yoursâlight, airy, utterly intoxicating. You wanted to hear that laugh for the rest of your life.
He had rambled about makeup, specifically special effects makeup, explaining how he was a huge movie lover. Then he got super engrossed in talking about the behind-the-scenes aspects of some of his favorite filmsâHuman Earthworm, which, he eagerly added, was a trilogy.
You barely said a word, too shy to contribute much. But he didnât seem to mind. It was like all he wanted was someone to listen.
A few days after that mission, you had been speed-walking out of class after an awful day. Some girl from a higher-up class had made crude remarks about your appearance, and you swallowed them down like bile, trying to ignore them. But you had barely managed to hold it together because, later that morning, you had to present in front of everyone. Your hands were clammy, your words tumbling out like a mess of jumbled up alphabet soup, and the tiny class of sorcerers had laughed at your mishaps.
Then, not even twenty minutes later, some guy knocked into you, spilling your matcha all over your clean uniform. And, oh yeahâdid I mention you had spent your last seven dollars on that matcha?
You grabbed your leather tote bagâbuckles adorned with a Nana keychain, your purple jellyfish Sonny Angel peeking out for good luckâand rushed out of the classroom doors, heading across the open field back to the dorms.
Then, a strong hand and a voice too sweet to ignore stopped you in your tracks.
"Hey! Hey! You, uh, dropped thiâactually, Iâm not sure what this is... A naked baby, it looks like? But it fell out of your bag."
Your entire body froze. Your heart pounded in your chest. You knew that voice.
Yuji Itadori. The sweetest, kindest boy ever. The boy you had a massive crush on. The boy who absolutely could not see you in the state you were in.
Panicking, you turned around, clutching your purse up to your face, burying yourself behind it in a weak attempt to hide your tear-streaked, mascara-smudged disaster of a face.
Yuji blinked, looking around the empty courtyard, then up at the clear blue sky, as if trying to understand what you were even hiding from.
"Hey, uhâ"
"Ilooksgrossrightnowthatswhyimhidingmyface," you blurted out in one breath, voice muffled behind your bag.
Yuji just laughedâa full, lighthearted fit of laughter. "It's okay, but I think youâre always pretty."
Your grip on your purse loosened slightly, your face still half-hidden as you peeked at him through your lashes. "You do?"
He gave a sheepish nod. "Yeah." Then, after a beat, in a soft, hesitant voice, he asked, "Can I see your face? Um, uhâif that's okay with you or whatever."
He paused, then quickly added, "We can count to three if that helps?"
You swallowed hard and gave a tiny nod.
His hands hovered slightly before reaching out, hesitant but warm. "Can I, uh... help you with it?"
Your voice was barely above a whisper, but he seemed to hear it anyway. You nodded again.
His fingers wrapped gently around your wrists, steady and firm but not forceful. Then, with a soft countdownâ"Three... two... one..."âhe lowered your hands, revealing the mess that was your face.
Your beet-red cheeks. Your raccoon-like mascara stains.
Yujiâs eyes widened slightly as you hiccuped, trying desperately to suck in the snot threatening to form a bubble.
"My face is beet red, isn't it?"
He let out another laugh, this time softer. "Yeah... but so is mine."
You blinked, taking in his expression. The dusting of pink on the tips of his ears, the slight blush running up his nose, the way his eyes crinkled nervously.
You quickly began to rub at the smeared mascara around your eyes, flustered, when he hesitatedâthen took a tiny step closer.
"I can help?" he offered, voice quieter than before.
You nodded, unable to speak past your pounding heartbeat.
With delicate care, he lifted the sleeve of his uniform and gently wiped away the mess on your face.
Ever since that day, you and Yuji hung out more and more. He even introduced you to his friends, and you and Nobara quickly became best friendsâthough she heavily expressed her distaste for you dating Yuji, simply because âheâs gross, and youâre too good for him.â
Yuji was loud, outspoken, and seemingly everywhere at once, yet when he was alone with you, he was different. He was quieterâmore hesitant.
Laying on your cramped twin bed, adorned with every single plushie he had ever won for you in the two months of dating, he looked so much softer. Your shabby dorm room at Jujutsu High was practically his at this pointâhe never left, always finding some excuse to be curled up next to you, legs tangled, warmth mingling between your bodies. Whether it was coming in late from a mission, all beat up so you sat him on your toilet to bandage his wounds because you knew he wouldnât care enough to do it himself, or a simple, âI miss you.. and the way you smell.â
But despite this level of comfort and closeness, you were both still utterly awkward around each other. Even now, lying in bed with your pinkies barely ghosting the space between, desperate to touch but too afraid to bridge the gap. Sure, youâd wake up tangled together as Yuji hogged the covers, but that was always after exhaustion had taken overâwhen neither of you had the energy to be nervous. But this? This was different. You were both awake, wide awake, too aware of every movement the other made. The soft shuffle of his weight against the bed, the slight twitch of your fingers, the low whirring of the crappy fan in your room, the faint vibration of his unchecked phone.
Yuji only ever got notifications when they were important, and you both knew that. But he didnât care. It was like nothing else existed outside this moment. Whoever needed him would have to stomp into this room and physically drag him away from the dim glow of your orange-pink lamp, from the scent of your perfume clinging to the sheets he was laying on.
When seconds felt like hours, you finally turned to Yuji to say somethingâanything to break the tension. But just your luck, he turned at the exact same time.
His brown eyes bore into yours like he could reach in and grab your very soul with gentle hands, rewriting your entire being if he chose. You both stared, studying every subtle movement, every shift in expression, until the weight of it became too much. Suddenly, you were both too aware of each other.
The weight of it had both of you snapping your heads away, blushes creeping up your necks.
Yuji was always an awkward mess when he was alone with youâ from fidgeting with the hem of his red Jujutsu hoodie, to walking around your room picking up random objects and pretending to be interested, like a kid trying to play coy.
 Heâd constantly go to grab your hand, only to let it fall last minute. He was completely different from how he was around others.
And now, here you both wereâblushing, internally panicking over each otherâuntil, when you turned to face him again, he was already hovering over you, peering down as if you were a fish in a fishbowl. You sucked in a breath, eyes wide, and whatever confidence he had for that split second disappeared in an instant. Because now, seeing you up close, so close he could count every speckle of glitter from your makeup, he lost all nerve and buried his face straight into the crook of your neck.
Which only made things worse.
Your shampoo, your perfumeâthe warm, sugary scent of it all sent his mind reeling. It made him want to kiss you even more than he already did, which, at this point, felt nearly impossible. He had been waiting for the right time, telling himself over and over that it had to be perfect. But the truth was, he had been thinking about it for monthsâspacing out in class, staring at your lips, wondering if they tasted like strawberries from the gloss you always wore.
And now here he was, completely surrounded by your scent, his hands twitching with the urge to pull you closer.
Before you could think, your fingers moved on their own, shaking slightly as they inched toward his hair, aching to tangle in his soft pink strands. But just as you moved, Yuji suddenly lifted his head, mustering every ounce of courage before blurting out in one rushed breath:
âIreallywannakissyoucani?â
Then, immediately after, he smacked his hands over his face.
You let out a breath you hadnât realized you were holding, heart hammering in your chest as you whispered, âYuuâŠâ
Slowly, you reached for his wrists, gently prying his hands away from his face. His skin was warm under your touch, his fingers trembling ever so slightly. You didnât have to say the restâhe already knew what you wanted.
He pulled his hands from yours, biting at his lip as he laced his fingers with yours instead, pinning your hand to the pillow above you. He shifted, slotting his leg over yours, his other hand lifting to cradle your cheek, thumb rubbing soothing circles against your skin.
Your eyes flickered over his face, watching every shift in his expression as he leaned closer, breath mingling with yours.
âYouâre so pretty,â he murmured, voice low, almost reverent.
He leaned in, inch by inch, breath mingling with yours. But before closing the gap, he hesitated. âYou sure this is okay?â
You didnât answerânot with words. Instead, you curled your fingers into the nape of his neck, tugging him forward, crashing your lips against his.
And it was everything.
The kind of kiss that made you slam your door shut before sliding down it in a fit of giggles.
His lips were warm and soft, tasting faintly of brown sugar. It sent your stomach swirling, the kind of feeling that made your chest ache in the best way possible.
When he pulled back slightly, a thin trail of saliva still connected you, his pink cheeks flushed, eyes lidded, like he needed to look at you just to make sure this was real.
Then, with newfound confidence, he kissed you again.
This time, when his tongue slid past your lipsâhesitant, waiting for permissionâyou let him in without a second thought. The sensation sent a shiver up your spine, and a soft, involuntary moan escaped you. That sound alone had Yujiâs other hand moving from your face to your waist to grip your body closer to his.Â
Kissing Yuji was like ladybugs dancing on your skin. Like the jingle of the ice cream truck on a summer afternoon. Like the mist from a sprinkler lapping at your feet on a hot summer day as a child when your only care was scoring the best popsicle flavour. Like the first sip of hot chocolate when it grazes your tongue and cocoons your body in warmth, as you come in from the bitter sting of the cold. It was like being wrapped in blankets cozied up with a book. The only sound echoing is the pitter of the rain on the window.
It was everything good, everything sweet, like the taste of cotton candy melting on your tongue.

Synopsis. Five times Fushiguro Megumi and his particularly determined elementary class attempt to matchmake the strong, surly divorced Fushiuro Toji with youâtheir pretty elementary school teacher. And the one time it doesnât end in disaster.Â
(Or in other words; the one time Fushiguro Megumi might just become a big brother?!)
A/N. And shoutout to Megan THEEEEEE StaIIion for teaching me what rizz was mhm- aIso slightly inspired by my Unckuna fic here <3
FUSHIGURO MEGUMIâS (and co.) FIVE-STEP PLAN TO MATCHMAKE HIS FATHER AND HIS TEACHERâPHASE ONE: RIZZ.
ââŠand thatâs the problem.â
Fushiguro Toji canât believe this.
No matter how he looks at itâthis is weird, right?Â
After all, no respectable single father would be hesitant to drop his son off at his elementary classroom- instead lingering by the wide, multi-colored building steps for a few seconds before finally entering like a lamb to the butcherâs. And even worse- no respectable single father would let himself be ruthlessly interrogated by his son over this fact.
And worst of all, reveal - after much intense probing by a nine-year-old - that this was all becauseâŠhe happened to haveâŠa stupid crush on one of the teachers.
âWhich one?â Megumi looks up through jet-black bangs much like his, nose crinkling at the thought of his father having- eugh, feelings.Â
Toji sighs. âDonât mean to push you into your emo phase early, kid, butâŠâ
And then he glances beyond the little oneâs frame.
Right. At. You.
The entrance to Tokyo Jujutsu Elementary opened up to the main hallway; with classrooms upon either side, and doorways spaced between walls that were kaleidoscopes of crafts and schoolbag hooks and polaroids of students over the years. If Toji looked hard enough then heâd even be able to find the polaroid where Megumi was flipping the camera offâheâd learned that one from him, see.
That was an awkward parent-teacher meeting.
But that was also the day he properly met you - beyond just the polite nod and hasty small talk at drop-off and pick-up.Â
With your adorable flowery apron on - courtesy of elementary school policy - and your lips trying very hard not to twitch up into a smileâvery nicely telling Megumi that that wasnât something good kids do.
Toji agreed then. Heâd have agreed with anything you said.
âBut you were the one that taughtââ
Heâd slapped his hand over Megumiâs mouth then.
Youâd let a small laugh slip- and he was a goner.Â
After that meeting, Megumi may have lost something (iPad privileges for a whole month), but Toji gained something: this little ember of attraction that he couldnât shake off no matter how much he tried. Every routine pick-up and drop-off, every bake sale, every little notification that lit up his phoneâyou typing into the parentsâ groupchat about some announcement or the other. And though itâd never be anything too personal, his heart always thundered in his chest as he clicked those notifications open. Is it weird that he set a different tone for your notifications?
The harder he tried to ignore it, the further it kindled.
Until he evidently couldnât even walk inside that damn building without feeling some part of him melt just a littleâŠ
Even now, his skin burns as he watches you.Â
Biting back a laugh as one of your students hugged their guardian goodbye- so hard that both adult and child topple over. And then youâre being grappled into the same embrace, which youâre letting yourself be tugged intoâsoon enough, three more of your students join in. One tucks a wildflower from the garden behind your ear.
Sunlight falls across your face as your head falls back in a laugh - and then youâre leaning forwards and grabbing all of those tiny bodies in a hug.Â
Toji canât help but wonder whether youâd like to be embraced just the same. Toji canât help but wonder whether youâd laugh just like that when youâre picked up and spun around, feet never touching the ground. Toji canât help but wonder why the hell Itadori Yuji was pointing and laughing at him.
âMr. Fushiguroâs dad, your face looks funnyâ!â He squeals. Loud enough for multiple parents to turn and look.
Toji grumbles something underneath his breath and straightens, like the respectable adult - the respectable adult - he is. Cool. Calm. Collected. Mature. âOh yeah? And your hair looks funny, kid.â
Now those same parents were turning to him and glaring.Â
âWhatâ?!â He gruffs out at them, hands raising in surrender. âHe started it.â
Itadori turns to them and smiles an utterly precious, gap-toothed smile.Â
He tells himself that heâs imagining the way they seem to be pulling their kids away from him.
Itadori stops laughing and ruffles his own coral-pink locks. The boy had strong-armed himself to become one of Megumiâs best friends since their first day; and he always has made himself known as the chatterbox of the group. The sweetheart. The trouble-stirrer (one of them, at least). âMy grandpa says itâs um- jeanetic. My father had pink hair, too.â
Toji raises a brow, âOh?â
âYeah! Did you know my uncleâs in prison?â The boy looks squarely up at him and beams. âHe sets things on fire.â
âSame, bud.â
âI eat dirt.â
ââŠwhat the fuck.â Toji whispers underneath his breath- though it mustâve been loud enough for the keenest of eavesdroppers to listen, because before he knows it, a little boy with a face mask and the most atrocious bowl cut Tojiâs seen in his lifeâpulls out a notebook from his backpack and starts furiously scribbling something down.
Assumably the profanity heâd just spoken.
Inumaki Toge, was it?
Now heâs the one stepping away from these damn kids.Â
But before he can get too far, Toji feels a tug on either armâhe looks to his right: Itadori.Â
Attempting to climb up his forearms and biceps like monkey bars.
He looks to his left: Kugisaki.
Looking knowingly between you and him.
âThese partners stink of-â
âWhat was that?â Kugisaki asks.Â
âNothing.â Toji quickly replies. And then there was the other one: Kugisaki Nobara was impossible to miss in a classroom. If not by her chattering that was just as loud as pink-haired Itadoriâs, then by the red, rubber hammer that she seemed to be fond of, smashing it on top of peopleâs heads if they displeased her. He was just in the middle of wondering whether he could be successfully knocked out if she hit him hard enough when-
âWhereâŠare you taking me?â He quickly narrows his eyes- just as soon as the little girl started pulling him by the hand. Towards your classroom. âHeyââ
âOh, câmoooon.â She rolls her eyes in a manner that was far too expert for her age. âHow is the male lead going to get the heroine if they donât even talk?â
âIâm not the main character?â
Itadori - who had by now managed to perch atop his right shoulder like some parrot - whispers uncomfortably in his ear. âHowâs the rizzler going to get the skibidi?â
Toji whirls to him- âBless you?â The fuckâŠ
Megumi follows and nods sagely. Deadpanning. âDadâs not sigma enough for that.â
âNot you, too?!â
âHi?â
The Earth had given way from underneath him. But in reality, it was just your voice breaking through the chaos of the elementary lobbyâItadori had begun gripping onto his shaggy, black bangs for balance now- and Toji was doing all he could to peak through the boyâs cutely chubby fingers.
A breath catching in his chest once he realizes that theyâd walked him all the way over to you.
Apron on. Brows raised. A flower tucked prettily behind your ear. Standing right at the door to your vibrant classroom; you kept a hand on your mouth to stifle your obvious smile. Though nothing could hide the light in your eyes.
And before Tojiâs given the opportunity to wax shitty poetics about it in his mind, youâre nodding at the boy latched onto Tojiâs head. With a smile- âDown now, Yuji. What have I said about climbing people like monkey bars?â
He sighs and removes his hands covering Tojiâs eyes, âTo not climb people like monkey bars.â
âAnd what are you doing right now?â
âClimbing people like monkey bars.âÂ
âDown, please.â
Yes, maâamâŠTojiâs thinking to himself. Snap out of it, man.
It was like a miracle. Itadori Yuji - for however much of a sweetheart he was - was never the type to listen to authority so directlyâyou could tell the kid to not eat glue and heâd chug down the whole bottle. Toji knows. From experience.
But itâs as easy as butter that heâs sliding off the older man now- and soon enough, his small red shoes are hitting the floor. And heâs staring up at Toji with his scarred mouth gaped open.
In fact, everyone was.
âUm, Fushiguro-san? Is everything okay?â Your brows then pinch in concern.
Kugisaki slaps her forehead, and Megumi seems to sink deeper into his bangs. As quickly as the words are registering in his headâheâs shutting his mouth and faintly puffing his broad chest out. Making sure that you see the way his beefy biceps flex as he scratches behind his neck. âYeah- yeah, everythingâs alright. How about you?â
âCanât complain.â You giggle. And when there doesnât seem to be a follow-up question, he flexes even harder. âI see uhâŠyouâve been hitting the gym lately, Fushiguro-san.â
âOh, me?â He has the audacity to look a little shocked. âThatâs cute, doll. But I donât hit the gym.â
âYou must take steroids then.â Itadori pipes up gleefully. âMy uncle takes them, too-â
âIâm all naturalââ
As this subsides, youâre taking control of the chaos like the professional you are. âAlright, oh- look at the time!â Sweeping a glance behind you at the classroom clock, âWeâre almost late for attendance and rehearsal time. Letâs get inside, kids.âÂ
You start ushering some of them inside- and Toji squirms as those balls of energy rush past him. Evidently you were preoccupied with them, but you have enough time to look up at the older man and flash him a smile-
âAnd Iâll see you at pick-up then?â
Faintly, he nods. âUh-huh.â
âGood.â You cock your head up at him, âHope you have fun with the gym then~â
âU-uh-huh.â
He can only watch mutely as you whisk a few students inside and clap your hands to get their attentionâsome of the parents were filtering out and he knows he must look like such a creepâŠbut you were just so astounding. And at least he hadnât completely fucked up that interaction-
âMr. Fushiguroâs dad, sorry for your aura loss.â Itadori pats him comfortingly on his side. There were still some students milling about with their goodbyes.Â
He whirls, âFushiguro Toji doesnât lose aura-â
âBut you did.â Kugisaki nods with her arms crossed. âYou fumbled, Fushiguro-san.â
He turns to his beloved son for reassurance.Â
Megumi looks at Toji blankly. âYou never had aura to me, dad.â
âThatâs it-â
âBut itâs okay.â Kugisaki says, âThe male lead never gets the heroine in the first five minutes. They have to suffer first. You just messed up Phase One.â
He almost feels sorry asking. âAndâŠwhat is Phase One?â
âThe rizz phase.â This time, itâs Itadori that answers. âYou have zero rizz, Mr. Fushiguroâs dad. Butâwe have a plan.â
âA plan?â
Itadori holds up three fingers. âFour more phases before you win Ms. Teacherâs heart!â Not so loudâŠheâs grateful you havenât noticed them yet.Â
Megumi holds up the correct number of fingers. âFour more phases to embarrass yourself, dad.â
What moral support, son.
âI donât knowâŠâÂ
Itadori nods seriously, âTake it this way, Mr. Fushiguroâs dad- thereâs a red button and a blue button in front of you. If you press the red button you die alone like my uncle probably will. If you press the blue button you totally rizz Ms. Teacher up and live happily-ever-after before she divorces you. Which button would you press?â
Neither?! His jaw drops. âWhat the fu-â
âWe just want to matchmake you!â Kugisaki shoves Itadori aside.Â
He eyes the kids warily. Leaving his love life to three elementary schoolers? Has Fushiguro Toji really fallen this far? OhâŠhe really is getting old. âWhatever. I donât a shi- damn.â
And the answer is yes, yes he has.
But then Kugisaki clasps her hands together and beams, âThen in the end youâll be just like Jinu and Rumi from K-pop Demon Hunters!â
And beside himself, Toji cracks a little smile. âYeahâŠyeah, maybe we will.â
âYouâll die in the end and sheâll become a demon!â
ââŠletâs just stick to Phase Two.â

FUSHIGURO MEGUMIâS (and co.) FIVE-STEP PLAN TO MATCHMAKE HIS FATHER AND HIS TEACHERâPHASE TWO: SWEET TREATS!
Status: PendingâŠ
Why did he agree to this shit again?
Though it wasnât exactly Valentineâs Day; Fushiguro Toji was lugging a cart âround the candy aisles of Maruetsu supermarket, followed by three children with sticky fingers that just kept on piling even more sweets into the hefty chocolate-filled cart. And more. And more. And more-
And though Toji agrees that there was never a wrong day for chocolate - he was just damn relieved that yesterday had been pay day. These brats didnât even glance at the price before throwing chocolate bars and heart-shaped candies over the cart rim.
Right alongside a bunch of flour, butter, and whatever shit one needed to make cookies.Â
Because yesâFushiguro Toji was apparently the type to make cookies now.Â
Itadori tosses a bunch of Daddy Tonyâs Chocolonely into the cart. âWeâre totally chocolate-mogging everyone in the store right now.â
Why did he agree to this shit again?
Itâd been their idea.
Tokyo Jujutsu Elementaryâs annual talent show was nearing. The decorations were being made. The kids were rehearsing after-school. And Toji didnât care too much about such thingsâthe only reason this had stuck in his mind was because youâd sent a message about it in the group chat. And heâd read that little sentence over and over again until he memorized it.Â
To raise funds for such an endeavour, the elementary was hosting a bake sale; where parents - should they choose to do so - could contribute their own baked goods and little treats and candies that could be sold. The year before, Toji had honestly just sent Megumi off with a bag of chips that Itadori had scoffed down in all of three seconds.Â
Though, in his defense, it wasnât mandatory and he didnât know what the fuck a bake sale was supposed to be.Â
Phase Two of the plan seemingly consisted of emptying out Tojiâs pockets- the three of them had insisted that this bake sale was the perfect opportunity for Toji to make his move on you.
It was simple, reallyâbake cookies for the sale, sell them there, and when it came to you- woo you with a special heart-shaped cookie and ask you out. Simple!Â
Was it obvious that this plan had been concocted by a bunch of nine-year-olds?
Toji sighs.
He glimpses Megumi wandering into the meat section and reaching for „50,000 Wagyu-
The next day, after burning the first few batches of cookies and setting fire to his kitchen only twice, Toji found himself crammed into a pretty pink-frilled booth at the official annual bake sale. Equally as pink apron cinched around his waistâand his t-shirt so tight that he catches a few single parents giving him appreciative looks.
Though he wasnât paying attention to that.Â
He was keeping his eyes on you- making your way from booth-to-booth, laughing along with parents and trying out everything your students had to offer.Â
Toji lets out a long, lingering sigh.
He was never going to get over this damn crushâ
Next to him, Megumi and his two best friends were the ones manning the counter and giving out cookies to paying customers. He hates to admit it, but business was booming.Â
âHeyâŠhey, if I pay you in chocolates would you sell this shit again for me?â
Megumi looks up at him blankly. âI want 60% equity and „5 for every unit sold.â
Toji drops a cookie he was holding over the counterââM-maybe notâŠâ
And thenâŠand then the most sweet, seraphic sound echoes in his ears- too close for it to be something heâd imagined, too removed from him to be anyone but you. Youâre making the tall man freeze where he was leaned over the counter - and the hairs on the back of his neck riseâŠheâs pausing to listen for you before he knows it.
âOh, let me get that for you.â
Toji hadnât noticed you walk over. Toji hadnât noticed you bending down to pick up the cookie heâd dropped. âO-oh, no you donât need toââ Not before youâre straightening up and holding it out to him with a beautiful smile.Â
âItâs no problem.â You chirp.Â
Mutely, he takes the crumbling cookie from you.
He wanted that cookie badly.
âSoâŠI see business is booming.â You nod down at the three little ones manning the counter, âGood job, sweethearts. How are you today?â
âGood.â Both Megumi and Kugisaki echo.
âMy grandma got hit by a bazooka!â Itadori beams.
Your smile falters, though Tojiâs impressed at how quickly you recover. âWellâŠthatâs certainly a time, isnât it, Yuji? And how are you, Fushiguro-san?â
âO-oh, meâ?â His faze sizzles at being called out so suddenly. And the older man hurries to scratch behind his neckâdid his biceps look good in this apron? âAhâŠchill.â
âChill, hm?â You smirk. Eyeing him, âI dunno- Iâd say itâs a rather hot day today.â
Features scrunching up, Toji leans his head out and looks at the sky. âIs it? Those damn weathermen always lie.â
Megumi smacks his forehead.Â
âNo, I just meantâŠâ Youâre flitting your gaze at the paper-thin fabric of his t-shirt, wrapped around his chiselled limbs so perfectly. Gift-wrapped. And then youâre shaking your head, instead turning to the rows of cookies put on display. âAnyways- any recommendations you guys have for me?â
Toji furrows his brows at the abrupt change in conversation. Beside him, reaching just past his knee, Kugisaki kicks him in the shin and hisses- âThe cookie! The cooooookie! Make a move, male lead!â
âOh. Oh.â Toji startles. Bending down and whispering back, âNow?â
âYes, now!â
âBut-â
âGo.â
âWaitââ
âGo!â
Finally, he holds one calloused palm out at you. Bandaged and slightly aching from baking all day yesterday. âStay here, we made something special for you.â
âOh?â
Toji shuffles around in the box of cookies that theyâd brought with them; packaged away and separated from the rest was one particular cookieâyour favorite flavor, which heâd probed out of the kids. Specifically made in the shape of a heart.
His hands shake a little bit as he turns to you with it.
Scarred lips parting, âThis isâŠâ
âFor me?â You cock your head with a sweet smile.
He nods. âFree of charge.â
âThatâs too sweet, I couldnât possibly-â
âPleaseââ Toji interrupts, fingers weak - barely holding onto the crinkled package - as he holds it out to you. âI insist. For taking care of my son.â
Something changes in your expression, and your fingers twitch closer to his.
The trio watches open-mouthed as your hands close the gap in mid-air beforeâ
âOooooooo, cookie! Fanum tax!âÂ
Before one Todo Aoi leans over the counter and snatches the cookie fast- before everyone could even blink, all of Tojiâs emotions, hopes, pursuits, and dreams find themselves stuffed down the crumb-coated maw of the little boy. Chomped to bits.
Everyone looks at him in stunned silence.
He polishes off the cookie in three bites.
âWhat?â Todo asks as the silence stretches even longer- and he notices the stares around him. âNeeds a little more saltâŠâ
Toji feels like keeling over. âI am going to-â
âHere, Ms.â Megumi picks up one of those cute, floral-decorated cookie packets on the counter and pushes it into your hands. âFree of charge.â
âThank you. IâŠâ You look at Toji as though youâre about to say something moreâbut then a call of your name from across the school field catches your attention. Another teacher was waving you over for something- and with an apologetic smile, youâre bowing your way out of there.
Itadori whistles, âWow, Mr. Fushiguroâs dad. Maybe if you hadnât waited around beinâ a scaredy-cat then Ms. Teacher mightâve gotten the cookies before Todo.âÂ
Immediately Kugisaki gets down from the counter- grabs her rubber hammer, and slams it down on Todoâs head.Â
Then before Toji can feel a rush of pride, she grabs two cookie packets and beckons him to crouch down to her height.
Once he does, she presses both packets to his cheeks and asks seriously. âAnd what are you?â
âA fuckinâ idiot cookie.âÂ
A small gasp.
From the other side of the counter, he hears furious scribbling as someone jots that particular word downâhe doesnât need to look to know that itâs that Inumaki Toge again. Noooooâ! Itâd slipped out accidentally, he promises. Also on the other side of the counter was Todo Aoi who was now eyeing the other cookies enviously- Megumi frowns and starts pulling them away from him.
Itadori turns to Toji and shakes his head as though heâd been the adult in this situation. âItâs a shame, though. Phase Two has also failed - take the L, Mr. Fushiguroâs dad.âÂ
âL.â Kugisaki echoes.
âL.â Todo.
âL.â Somehow Toge.
Megumi nods. âLoser.â
And somehow that hurt the mostâ
He groans.
Todo huffs. âCanât believe you just got framemogged by the TJE class monitor, old man.â
Toji whirls around with a glower. âMugged? Iâve never gotten mugged by anybody-â
âBut since youâre all just begging meââ Todo turns to the bemused others with his arms crossed importantly. â-Iâll teach you the true art of rizzing.â

FUSHIGURO MEGUMIâS (and co.) FIVE-STEP PLAN TO MATCHMAKE HIS FATHER AND HIS TEACHERâPHASE THREE: A DATE.
Status: -84834832849 aura.
A date.
Not one heâd asked you out on, of course.Â
Spring had neared like a reawakening of the Earth; the breeze was warm. The Sun cascaded softly. The birds were twittering. And Fushiguro Toji was losing itâhe had already had enough of making a fucking fool out of himself in front of you.
And now he was about to do it all over again.
Megumiâs elementary school was hosting a picnic with the kids in Ueno Park, in honor of the cherry blossoms beginning to open up.Â
Parents were invited too, of course.Â
And it was inevitable that youâd be there.
Now with that kid Todo - a student a year older than the trio, it seems heâd found himself attached to Itadori though Toji has no idea how that friendship started - onboard for the scheme, Toji was finding himself pulled around like a marionette. This ridiculous scheme to kinda-sorta try and make you fall in love with himâŠ
That he was going along with.
So for the outing, the four had emphasized that Toji wasnât to come unless he was looking his absolute best. Theyâd told him to burn that usual black t-shirt of his - no matter how many times he tried to insist that he had a wardrobe full of identical ones. He wanted Megumi to vouch for him, but the boy had lied.
That traitor.Â
Thus on the Saturday morning itâd been planned; Toji spent a good few hours in front of the mirror.
Tugging back the sleeves on his white cotton sweater- heâd been told that people appreciate forearms more this way. Dousing himself in perfume. Putting on one of those face creams Kugisaki had recommended after asking her guardian. Attempting to tame his shaggy, black bangs. He made sure his biceps were looking good that dayâand stuffed Megumi into his matching sweater as well nâ rushed off to Ueno Park.
He thought he looked pretty good, honestly.
Todo eyes him warily once he arrives, ââŠThatâs the best youâve got?â
âThe hellâs wrong with it?â
âItâs justâŠnot sigma-â
âShut-â
A few parents turn to look at him.
âHe started itâheââ
After certainly no small amount of bickering (and much apologizing from the woman that seemed to be Todoâs guardian), they managed to make it to the picnic area. Where a row of multi-colored checkered blankets were laid out across the green grass like some form of a quiltâMegumi wastes no time before waddling over to where Itadori and Kugisaki were seated with their families.
And before long, the three kids were tugging several blankets closer together and creating a larger one.Â
As Toji sighs and stalks over to themâheâs suddenly stopped by Todo Aoi. Evidently having broken free from his guardian for far, far greater purposes; he holds his hand up and makes Toji freeze. âYou have much to learn, donât you, old man?â
âHaaah?â He balks down at the boy.
âTrue rizzlers donât sit around playing teatime with kidsââ He throws his arm behind at the other three, â-and my beloved brother, Yujiââ They were related?! âTrue rizzlers have to be tall and nonchalant even if theyâre short and chalant.â
Toji eyes him warily. ââŠOkay? And what am I supposed to do?â
âTalk. To. Her.â
âHowââ
âGo there-â Todo stabs a finger in your direction. But Toji didnât need it to know where to look.Â
He sweeps his eyes across the cherry blossom gardens- and his eyes seem to find you as they always do. Even in a garden of the worldâs brightest and rarest flowers, you would be the most beautiful.Â
âBrother eugh, youâre getting that sappy look on your face again- nonchalant. You have to be nonchalant!â Todo exclaims.
You were wearing a summer dress that fluttered around you in the soft breeze- and before he knows it, the little boy was pushing him towards where you were standing.
âW-waitââ
âOh, has Phase Three started already?â Soon enough, Itadoriâs voice is piping up right beside him. And heâs pushing Toji, too.
Then comes Kugisaki. âOoooo they always have a cherry blossom episode! I love those.â
The dark-haired man looks to his son for help, and he pretends not to meet his eye.
Dammit.
âFineâfine.â An unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Tojiâs pushing back against their persisting guidance, and they just wonât have it. Youâre going to notice him being made a fool again. âIâll talk to her. Donât rush meâI said donât-â
âWhy is it that every time thereâs trouble, itâs got something to do with the five of you?âÂ
Too late.
With your hands on your hips, youâre walking over with a playful smile.
Though there was nothing playful about the way his heart thunders-
High-pitched giggles emanate from behind him, and he doesnât have the time to compute before all three sets of small hands - and Megumiâs mildly disappointed stare - vanishes. The kids are running off, leaving the two of you alone, once youâve properly walked up to themâleaving Fushiguro Toji to fend for himself and alsoâŠcollapsing to the ground. Because of the lack of force from behind now, his ass hits the soft grass and youâre trying not to laugh from above.
Pretty hand reaching out, âEverything alright, Fushiguro-san?â
âToji.â He somehow manages to blurt out, taking your hand and getting to his feet. âCall me Toji.â
âOf course.â And then youâre sharing your own first name. He repeats it like a spring breeze.
Then, like the fool he is, Toji stands around admirinâ youâlong enough that the silence stretches a little awkwardly, and youâre starting to shuffle on your feet. He hears a chorus of small groans from somewhere behind him, and quickly amends- âUhhh, do you like walks down cherry blossom paths?â
Youâre raising a brow in faint amusement, âYes?â
âHave you walked down cherry blossom paths?â
âNot this year.â
âWill you walk down cherry blossom paths?â
âFushiguro Toji, are you asking me to walk together?â You bump his shoulder with yours, then loop a hand around arm - he felt like arm candy, but donât save himâToji was exactly where he wanted to be - and start walking between pink-shedding trees. âYou shouldâve just said so. Should we have invited Megumi as well?â
âWhoâs Megumi?â
Your startled laugh echoesâand itâs the most beautiful thing heâs ever heard.
The two of you loop around the pathway and then back again in companionable silence; though questions and confessions constantly bubbled up to Tojiâs throat. Are you having fun? Is his body too warm? Can you hear his heart beating? Do you like the cherry blossoms? Do you know youâre far more beautiful than them?
Why do you glance at him with that knowing smile?Â
What secrets do you hide?
Before he knows it, the two of you have reached the spot where you met once more. And four eager children wait for something to happen- for something to be said.
Toji knows he might not get another opportunityâso as soon as the cherry blossoms are tapering out to more of the green grass, heâs turning to you and stammering. âI-I have something to askâŠâ
âYes?â You smile.
âAnd it might be strange-â
âYes?â
âAnd weird-â
âOh, yes?â
âAnd creepy- donât be afraid to say no if itâs creepy.â
âHuh?â
âButâŠâ He feels the question: would you wanna grab coffee sometime? claw at his throat. Toji knows youâre waiting, anticipatingâand then a cherry blossom flutters down and lands on your crownâmaking you look far too angelic. âWould youâŠhappen to know that Japan is turning footsteps into electricity.â
You balk. âExcuse me?â
Toji whispers to himself faintly. âU-using piezoelectric tilesâŠevery step you take generates a small amount of energy. Millions of stepsâŠtogetherâŠâ
âOkay, old man, letâs get you to bed.â Todoâs - Todo, of all people - is coming to his rescue. Ushering him away, whilst his son hopefully manages to cover for his father with a good excuseâ
âI do not know that man.â Megumi tells you, then leaves.
Youâre left shrugging. AhâŠ
As theyâre walking back to their picnic area, Kugisaki murmurs. âThis is the cherry blossom episode. Next is the episode where you get hit by a truck-â Toji really hopes it is. âGuess thisâll be that sort of unfinished love dramaâŠâ
âMy uncle loves hitting people with trucks.â Itadori beams.Â
Megumi smacks his forehead once more-
Toji narrows his eyes. âYouâre gonna give yourself a concussion if you keep doing that.â
The boy smacks his head even harder. âI hope so.â
Toji mutters to himself. âFuckinâ me too.â
Behind him, he already knows that Inumaki is jotting this somewhere in some bushes.Â
As the picnic continuesâmore and more of Megumiâs friends join their combined blankets. Toji notices you fluttering about, too.
So caught up, in fact, that he doesnât even notice four matchmaking masterminds roping in their schoolmate Yuta into a deep conversation.
Toji sneezes- someone must be talking about him.

FUSHIGURO MEGUMIâS (and co.) FIVE-STEP PLAN TO MATCHMAKE HIS FATHER AND HIS TEACHERâPHASE FOUR: THE MARRIAGE.
Status: Toji, youâre scaring the huzzzzz-
It seems that Fushiguro Toji was getting married.
Though not exactly of his own volition.
And to whom, exactly? Well, that would be none other than youâ
The wedding shall be held in the idyllic venue of Tokyo Jujutsu Elementaryâs sprawling playground; amongst the swings and pieces of chewed-up bubble gum stuck underneath slides. Music shall be provided by the choir team. Snacks are Goldfish crackers and nothing moreâyou wonât want to miss it.Â
Donât bother to RSVP.
Invitations are open to no one, heâs bound to make a fool of himself.
Again.
Toji shouldâve known that something was up the second Megumi told him to come for pick-up a little earlier than usual. Elementary classes ended their day with around fifteen minutes of playtime, before official pick-up commenced.
And though Toji didnât mind coming in earlier - he usually staved his entrance off for the allocated time so Megumi didnât have to play with his dear olâ dad looming over his shoulder.
Something had to be wrong- maybe he was sick? And yetâŠMegumi was the type to never let out even a peep even if he wasâheâd have to be dragged out of class and still try to convince Toji that he was feeling well enough to go back. Heâd never leave hints like that.
Maybe he didnât like playtime anymore? That certainly couldnât be it- playtime always exhilarated Megumi, no matter how much his deadpan son attempted to hide it. He loved his friends. He loved the small rabbit pen that the school had. He especially loved the twin black-and-white wolf spring riders on the playground.
Or maybeâŠmaybe he was getting bullied-
Toji shakes his head clear of that thought immediately.
Heâd no sooner be bullied by his son than have his son be bullied-
In fact, before heâd met Itadori and Kugisaki- Megumi loved the playground forâŠveryâŠdifferent reasons. Heâd pile his âopponentsâ high like a small kid mountain.Â
Toji shudders.Â
So what could it beâ?
Thatâs exactly the thought tumbling âround in his mind as he walks up to that multi-colored painted building. Instead of going up those steps, however, heâs rounding the corner towards the playground on the other side - where he could hear cheers, laughter, and shrieks. Those youngsters touched the air around them with happiness, and it made some part of Tojiâs chest soar to think that his son was one of them.
Thatâs until heâs actually in-view of the playground and spotting you. Right in the middle of the chaos of elementary classes in playtime.Â
At the foot of the slides.
A bundle of weeds in your hands
A paper veil atop your head.
With that kid Yuta from the grade above Megumiâs stood solemnly beside you. An officiant.Â
It looked likeâŠa wedding.
And the space in front of you was empty for your partner.
Ah.
He looks at Megumi who was avoiding his eyes- so this was the planâŠ
Fuck.
He must have made a noise of bafflement- because just then youâre turning and letting a smile splash across your face. You exclaim. âAhhhâthereâs my groom!â
OhâŠoh, he might faint.
Toji feels numb to the small hands that tug on his arm- âCâmon, câmon! Youâre late, Mr. Fushiguroâs dadâ!â And heâs being dragged all the way to the front of the slide, where his bride-to-be was awaiting him, it seemsâŠâAfter this we need time for the divorce-â
âNo, the divorce should happen like four episodes later.â Kugisaki rolls her eyes.
âThere shall be no divorce.â The seven-year-old Yuta speaks above them - out of them all, he seemed to be taking his role the most seriously. And he beckons the happy couple closer to one anotherâfuck, Toji couldnât even meet your eyes.
Standing in front of you, he stuffs his hands into his pocket and keeps his eyes trained on the ground- giving you a brief nod. ââSup?â
âOn second thought, there may be a divorce.â Yuta solemnly declares.
âHey-â Toji sends a glare at the black-haired little boy with the wide eyes, then crosses his beefy arms. âSo are we gettinâ married or not? Chop chop.â
You shake your head fondly, âDonât worry- we cut into rehearsal time for this, it seems.â
âStart the musicâŠâ Kugisaki whispers to MegumiâŠsimply standing on the sidelines and sinking deeper into his bangs with every passing second. âThe musicâ!â
Megumi lets out a sigh beyond his years, and clicks on the classroom speaker they mustâve brought from inside.Â
In mere seconds, Stateside by PinkPantheress with Zara Larsson starts flooding the playground. Kugisaki hums to herself with a smile- âPinkPantheress nâ Zara always makes things better.â
Soon enough Yutaâs reading out of a scribbled notebook in his hands, âWeâre here today to um- something about marriage.â He looks between the two of youââHold hands, please. They always do that in the movies.â
The two of you share a look.
And then you do.
Your fingers are warm nâ perfectly fitted in his - he doesnât have to think to curl his own fingertips around yours. Itâs as if his hands were made for holding yoursâthe thought zips through his body and he wonders why the hell he was getting emotional as though this was a real weddingâŠ
Yuta continues, â-ummm, something about love.â Toji almost jolts. âSomething about caring. Something about taking care of each other when youâre not feeling too good- like my momma always does, heh. She makes this chicken soup that-â
âGet on with itâ!â Kugisaki hisses.
âWait- what sort of chicken soup?!â Itadori pleads.
âThatâs my rizzler! Toji broâ!â Todo cries.
âOh, yeahââ He looks back down at his useless notes. âAnd stay together forever and ever and ever for at least 67 years no matter how far apart you are, or how scared of your feelings.â Yuta looks at Toji pointedly- who did this kid think he was?! âDoes the happy couple have any vows?â
And maybe this was it.
Maybe this was his moment.
Maybe this wasâŠ
Tojiâs scarred lips open. âI-â
Suddenly the speaker playing music explodesânot literally, though for a moment there it did feel like it. The dance-pop song thatâd been playing inexplicably heightens in volume until their ears rung- and Megumi hastens to turn it down.Â
Kugisaki smacks the speakers with her rubber hammer a few times before it stops. Then with nothing to play in the background, she elbows the pink-haired boy in his sideââYuji, hit it!â
âMe?!â Itadori yelps, before noticing everyoneâs gaze upon him. Itâs slowly dawning upon Toji that this might not be the best place for a real confession when Itadori suddenly starts doing some confusing two-step. âYou gotta go and I canâtâŠehh, sorry. UhhhhâŠNepal. I just donât want to say that-â
âPlease.â Megumi drones. âPlease stop.â
He stops.
Mutely, Kugisaki smacks the speaker once more and Stateside blares again.
Toji turns to the officiant- and shakes his head.
Yuta looks at you, âAnd what about you, Ms?â
âOhâmy vow is that youâre all getting extra homework if eeeeevery single one of you doesnât dance to the reception tomorrow.â You look at each and everyone.
Small faces scrunched in glee.
Yuta hisses at Itadori. âTime for the ringsâthe rings!â And the pink-haired boy startles to hand them to him- just a single one plopped onto Tojiâs open palm. It was one of those cheap ring pops; still slightly sticky and encrusted with flecks of strawberry candy from before. The actual candy part of it had been very-obviously eatenâŠ
âSorry.â Itadori still smiles. âI ate it.â
âAnd theâŠother ring?â
âI ate that, too.â He excitedly claims, âPlastic and all!â
âIâŠlove whateverâs wrong with you.â Toji furrows his brows. âBut also what.â
âEnough talkâexchange the rings then vow your undying love!â Kugisaki yells. âThen die!â She turns to some of the other kids looking at her strange- âWhat? I donât mean it like thatâthe dramaâs just better when they die. Where are you going- where are you-â
âScary kid.â Toji comments. âBut sweet. But scary.âÂ
Megumi distances himself from everything.
Before long, Yutaâs announcing that they âexchangeâ rings.Â
You mime putting one on him.
From the sidelines, Todo sobs into Itadoriâs t-shirtâseriously, were they actually related or not?! âMarriagemaxxing alreadyâŠIâm so p-proud of you my rizzlerâŠmy brother in rizzâŠmy sidekickâŠâ
He jerks. âSideââ
Yuta speaks. âAnd do you, Ms. Teacherâtake this auraless man to be your husband?â He can already tell who came up with this officiantâs script- but before he can throw a glance at the trio and Todo, youâre nodding.
âI do.â
Toji feels his heart flutter. He grows warm.
And his fingers are just as tender and sweet as they slip that ring pop onto your left handââThen I announce you married- uh. Smooch?â
âEuuuuuuuugh! Gross-â Megumi wails.
If Toji thought that heâd been warm earlierâthen he wasnât prepared for right now. It feels as though his entire body was on fire from the inside; every vein, every cell, every single part of him that hummed with delight at the notion. That made him blush.
So embarrassingly, as though this was his first-ever crush.
Toji catches your eye- and you give him the briefest of nods.Â
And then heâs leaning inâŠheâs hearing your breath catch- and pressing his lips to the back of your hand - just the lightest of grazes, where the ring pop stood out - before pulling back just as quickly. Nothing indecent. Nothing that would give away anything to youâ
That ringâŠ
It tasted sweet on his lips.
The surrounding kids cheer- loudly. Now it seems that everyone in the playground had joined in on this little actâand thatâs exactly what it was.
Just a little act.
Tojiâs lips quiver with the beginnings of a sentence heâs been aching to say for so long-
And then the school bell rings denoting time for pick-up.
Around you, the kids run to their classrooms and their backpacks - excited to tell their parents about what theyâd just done in the playground. And as the sea of small bodies moves and thrashes against the two of youâŠToji just remains standing. Staring.Â
Something within him still unfinished and unsatisfiedâ
Youâre keeping his gaze for a few more seconds, before finally dropping it and unscrewing the plastic ring from your finger. âI uhâŠsorry about that- and thank you for playing along.â
âYeahâŠâ He faintly says. âYeah, no problem.â
You give him a tight-lipped smile. âAnd if you donât mind, I should probablyâŠâ
You gesture to the parents that had started walking in now, and he jerkily nods. âYeah- yeah, go doâŠthat.â
âYeah, IâŠâ Youâre then holding your hand out to him- nodding at him to keep his palm open. Then dropping the strawberry-scented ring pop into his hand. âGuess the divorce came a little sooner than expected, huh?â
âTwo seconds, thatâs a new record.âÂ
Starting to walk backâyou briefly wave. If he was a cockier man, heâd have called you nervous. âIâll see you at the talent show, ex-husband.â
âHopefully sooner, ex-wife.â
âOh- yes, the upcoming parent-teacher meetings.â
âThatâŠâ Toji murmurs to himself. That too, he supposes.Â
And as he watches you leaveâŠKugisaki is the first to speak up. âNot even a date? Awww man, I hate slowburns.â
He gapes, âI uhâŠâ
âNo, he got scared of his feelingsââ Itadori adds. Toji squirms. âDid you know my uncle says he doesnât have feelings? My grandpa agrees.â
âDad.â Megumi pulls on Tojiâs t-shirt to get his attention.Â
âYes, son?â
And so deadpan, so unexpected- âYou fumbled just like Klay Thompson.â
Dammit, son.
Speedwalking to the school with them. âThe fuck just happened?â
That one he mouths- he mouths. But Inumaki writes that one down fast-

FUSHIGURO MEGUMIâS (and co.) FIVE-STEP PLAN TO MATCHMAKE HIS FATHER AND HIS TEACHERâPHASE? CURRENTLY ON HOLDâŠ
âSoâŠâ Youâre twiddling your thumbs together on top of the desk, eyes trained on Toji whilst his own dart around the colorful classroom. âMegumiâs such a good kid- honestly thereâs nothing more to say about him.â
Because today was the day of parent-teacher meetings; that half-an-hour where parents sit before you and leaf through crayon drawings and mathematics that made them cringe. Toji himself hadnât been the biggest fan of them when Megumi was youngerâwhy the fuck would kindergarteners need parent-teacher meetings?!
But now that his teacher was youâŠ
At least it gave him something even more to look forward to.
So he sets his elbows on your desk and leans inâevery meeting had been conducted sitting on opposite sides of your teachersâ desk. It was far too much proximity for his poor heart to takeâbut you sure as hell wonât hear him complaining.
Not a single peep.
He glides his roughened fingertips over the pages before him- Megumi was never the type to be cagey about his grades. And either way he did get everything above an 80%.Â
Toji tries not to let the tips of his lips twitch upwards into a smileâespecially as he looked over one of the artworks that Megumi had done: a slightly-smudged drawing of three small figures, one with pink hair, another with a brown bob-cut, and then a portrait of himself.Â
And then two larger figures on either side of them
Toji and yourself.
The prompt had been Megumiâs familyâŠ
âYou should be very proud, yâknow.â Your gentle voice breaks through the quiet air in the classroom.Â
Toji had come slightly after the other parents, as organizing Megumiâs little sleepover at the Itadori household (with Kugisaki and Todo in tow) had been absolute chaos. Today theyâd offered to take the children in because apparently Itadori had gotten some earthworm movies heâd wanted to share. And though Megumi didnât seem particularly excited at the prospect of earthworms, heâd been begging for weeks to have this sleepover.Â
Now. The sunlight dipped beneath the horizon outside, casting the classroom into its warm embraceâlike kindling fire. The light bounced off your features and touched his lips, too. Where things were perpetually encased in day and the hours were hot and lazyâlike the leaping spark from a fireplace.Â
For the first time in a long time, Toji lets himself smile. âYeah. Yeah, I am.â
Youâre nodding with a smile- âHe speaks about you a lot, did you know that?â Once Toji shakes his head, youâre continuing. âAbout how strong you are, about how youâre funnyââ Your nose crinkles, â-but an awful cook.â
âI know.â Something about that felt so knowing. âIt really is a pleasure having Megumi in my class- heâs quiet but I think Yuji and Nobara are slowly bringing him out of his shell. Heâs diligent. Heâs quietly kind. Heâs a sensitive kid, he notices things faster than most.â
âIâm sure he gets that from me.â He smirks.
You hum, staring at the blood-orange sky outside. Thereâs a long pause before you speak againââAnd I think itâs sweet how heâs trying with his friends to set the two of us up.â
Tojiâs jaw drops.
Actually drops.
For a moment heâs speechlesâhell, he thinks he might be speechless till the end of time. Sure, heâd guessed that you mustâve noticed something being offâŠbut he never thought youâd actually realize the two of you are being set upâ!
You catch the look in his eyes- âOh, câmon. You didnât think I wouldnât notice, did you?â
âI uhâŠâ
âThe cookies. The wingmanning. The wedding. The plans-â Stifling a laugh. âElementary schoolers arenât very good at whispering, you know that?â
âDamn.â Toji fists his hands, softly thumping them against the table. âAnd here I thought a bunch of elementary schoolers could fix my love lifeâŠâ
You humâsomething coy in your tone. âWhy donât you fix it yourself?â
And Tojiâs snapping his head up so fast that he thinks he mightâve caught whiplash-
âWould youâŠâ He swallows. He starts off unsurely. ââŠmaybeâŠlike to get coffee sometime-â
âYes.â
Barely waiting till the sentence flies off his tongue before you respond- it makes Toji wonder whether youâve been waiting for this as long as he has.Â
Embarrassment shows in your slightly-frantic movements, as you start picking at the stationary on your desk and smoothing out your clothes. Nervous. It hits him. âI uhâŠyouâre my last meeting of the day, actually. Iâm free to grab some coffee now, if you want?â
Heâs never agreed to anything faster in his life.
Less than twenty minutes later and the two of you have found yourselves in the cute new coffee shop down the road. The faintest memory of sugary goods still etched on your smiling lips, and your cups of drinks warming your handsâthe two of you were sitting and talking at a window booth when the rain had started.
âOh, shitâŠâ You peer outside. âYou were right.â
âHm?â Toji takes a sip of his black coffee.
âThe weathermen always lie.â
More than the panging warmth at the idea that youâd remembered a throwaway comment heâd said- was what youâd followed that sentence up with.
âHey, I know this is out-of-the-blue, butâŠI donât have an umbrella with me, and taxis are costly this time of evening.â You shift in your seat, avoiding his eyes for perhaps the first time since heâs met youââMy apartmentâs close by if youâd wanna maybe grab an umbrella from there? You could even hang around until the rain subsides, if you wantâŠâ
This time, itâs his turn to reply embarrassingly fast. âFuck yeah.â
And so youâd ran.
Youâd ran hot on each otherâs heels as though someone was chasing youâmaybe fear, maybe your inhibitions, maybe the feeling that Fushiguro Toji wanted to kiss you so badly.
So bad.Â
Youâre sploshinâ the five-minute walk it takes to reach your apartment- before youâre both darting inside and closing the door to the world. Just the two of you. On opposite sides of the narrow vestibule connecting the entrance to the living room. To your bedroom.
Toji presses himself against the cream-colored wall and breathes in. heavy.
This entire place carried your sweet, sweet scentâand it was driving him crazy.Â
In front of him, your hands seemed to absent-mindedly reach for the umbrella holder- blindly clasping around one polished handle. âI uhâŠâ
âYou-â
Youâre both attempting to speak at the same timeâthen abruptly stop when the other speaks. You gesture for him to continue, and he does the same for you-
âI just meant- hereâs your umbrella.â
âThanks.â Like a zombie, heâs reaching out and clasping it.Â
This was itâthis was really it.
He was about to leave.
He was about to wake up from this dream.
Before Tojiâs letting the umbrella drop to the floor- and youâre both crashing into one another. Itâs built and builtâand the coil of tension had tightened and tightened before finally snappingâ!
Lips against lips.
Tongues against teeth.
His lips sliding against yours and positively ravishing youâone of his large hands finds purchase on the back of your head. His warm touch. Toji feels the pretty pulse on your neck quicken as he tips your head back and delves his tongue even deeper - memorizing the taste of you to every crevice in his brain.Â
Your essenceâŠhe wants it imbued into him.
Absolutely starving.
He just couldnât get enough of you.
He just couldnât get enough of you.
The two of you are making out sloppily- and the sounds of lips lifting from lips permeates your entire apartment. Punctuated occasionally by the hollow grunts that Toji himself was letting off.Â
Your cunt twitches between your legs - and youâre pressing yourself into Toji even further. Pushing against his toned body. Rolling your hips against the raging, hot erection thatâd found itself home in his pants. Just the sheer size of it- the thickness, the way it throbbed against you was enough to make you let out a soft, simpering nose.
One that heâs gladly swallowing up wholeâgreedily, even. Because thatâs exactly what he was.
A fucking greedy man for everything thatâs to do with you.
And heâs waited for far too long.
In no time, youâre taking him by his larger hand and pulling him to your bedroom. Leaving the umbrella and your reservations behind.Â
Toji lets out a hallowed groan as heâs being pushed back into the bed- the backs of his knees hitting the mahogany bed frame. Your hands flying to the ties of his trousers. Your own knees striking the floorâ
âEasy thereâŠâ Toji brushes one hand down the side of your face- reaching back into your scalp and tightening. âDonât want my girl to get hurt.â
âYour girl?â You grin. âYou havenât even asked me out on a proper date yet.â
âAnd you should be buyinâ me dinner before this. Lecher.â
Youâre huffing as youâre able to tear that wretched fabric off his muscular legs- finally. And your jawâŠdropsâŠ
He was soâŠ
Fucking big.Â
From the moment his achinâ cockâs freed, Toji springs out and seems to pulse even thickerâthe start of his base reminding you of one of those soda cans. Toji reaches down to wrap his other hand âround it, his palm covering some of the dark curls decorating his pelvis, and he seems to look even bigger when framed like this.
Rock-hard. Covered in numerous veins.
They were dappled all across his inches and throb-throb-throbbing- so ravenously hard that Tojiâs length twitched the moment heâs feelinâ the cold bedroom air.Â
And not only was he big, but that curve of his shaft was delicious.
It made you wonder what itâd feel like to have him curve up insideâŠ
Upwards tilted. That crown of his craning up at the ceiling. The pointed end of his cock ended off with his blushinâ mushroom tip- so fat nâ already soaked in his wads of sopping precum. The color of it was the prettiest tannish pink youâve ever seen in your entire lifeâand so you really couldnât help but lean down and press a chaste peck-
The taste of his salted-caramel pre takes over your tastebuds immediately.
âO-ohâŠâ Tojiâs head throws backwards with a gravelly groan. âDonât go teasing me now, doll.â
âYouâre the one thatâs been teasing me this entire time.â You counter. Though youâre looseninâ your jaw and taking him in even further. Inch by solid fucking inch.
Itâs hard to stuff Tojiâs cock all down your throat like you so-badly wanted- he was big. Nâ those zig-zagging veins down his length made you want to lingerâŠmassaging the roof of your mouth with a few semi-gulps that rub his inches on top. Again and again.
Youâre shuttering your eyes and moaning deep into his shaft at the carnal scratch he somehow seemed to soothe.
âAh ahââ Youâre hearing him before youâre feeling him- suddenly, two thick fingertips are pinching your poor nostrils together. Eyelids flapping open to stare up at him.
Toji has the most cocky smile across his beautiful scarred lips as he peers down at you. âNow whatâs this about refusinâ to take me anymore?â He asks you, punctuating the that of his sentence with a thorough nudge of his bulbous tip down your throat. âYou donât wanna take me any further, doll? Or youâŠâ
And another.
Though, this time, it wasnât a nudge at all.
And Tojiâs massive length is pushing apart the wet walls of your throat- and mazing his throbbing cock inside. The noises youâre letting out when you slurp him up are so prettyâ
And the older man uses his second hand to wipe a stray tear off your cheeks, â-canât?â
âMmmâmmmfg.â Choking down both your needy sobs nâ your breaths. Youâre clawing at his thicks- so thick and toned.Â
âWhat? Whaaaat?â He pinches your nose even harder. âWhaâs the matter, teach?â
âYou-â Barely able to mangle out some semblance of coherent syllables - youâre going cross-eyed trying to both take him in deeper, and look at the fingers blocking off your airway. âMmm- ngh.â Whatever mess of a sentence that was meant to be, itâs coming out embarrassingly jumbled.
Embarrassingly so.
And tears are just starting to stream down your cheeks- your cuntâs getting even wetter at his actions and pushing against his toned calf- once he finally lets go. Finally.Â
With a loud pwah! youâre removinâ your swollen lips off of his cock. Feeling for your poor nose thatâs startinâ to stingââSo mean, Toji. I shouldâve bit that dick off.â You joke.
He looks at you with a leer, âWe both know that out of the two of us, youâd be the most disappointed with that.â And it was true- it really was true. But Toji takes it a step further by lazily reaching his calf over and pushing it against your cunt. Dripping wet even through those panties of yours- your pretty dress was hiked up nâ already exposing that sweet puddle thatâd formed in the middle of your underwear.Â
His mouth waters at the sight.Â
âSee what I mean?â Then Toji straightens up and pats the top of his manspread thighs. An invitation.Â
âBut, I havenât evenâŠâ
âSâokay.â He nods at you reassuringly. You didnât have to worry about any of that needing to please shit with him- heâd be the one driving you wild tonight. âI have something even- heh, sweeter in mind.â
And hopefully every night after that.
In a mere few moments, youâre settling yourself on Tojiâs lap. And then heâs attacking your mouth in a mind-numbing kiss, tongue swipinâ between your lips before ultimately sucking on those tastebuds of yours. Sucking. Like candy.Â
He then maneuvers the two of you to then drape you across the sheets; slightly sodden with lust and perspiration. The blankets stick against your clammy skin as Toji presses your hips down on the mattress- âDown, girl.â His fingertips dig into the side of your waist.
âWhatâs that about not teasing?â You pant.
With a low chuckle, Toji presses a peck on the left side of your hipsâthen creeps himself down until his handsome features were huffinâ and puffinâ against your sodden cunt. His own hot breath seemed to reach out to youâcurling, cloooouding, it seemed to stroke down that watery slit of yours. âFushiguro Toji never teases.â
âYouâre teasing right-â
âMâjust waiting for the perfect moment.â And thereâs not a second wasted- before Toji lurches himself nose-deep between your legs and gives your dripping pussy a good lick!
âO-ohâŠâ Your mouth waters at the brazen touch- body jolting just a little. Though if you thought that Toji would let you so much as squirm whilst heâs locked between those thighs of yours, then youâd be sorely mistaken. His fingers dip down the expanse of your legs and clutches you close against his ravenous mawââArenât you going to take off my panties, Toji?â
âDonât be vulgar, doll.â He mutters- just to tease you. âMâgonna eat you through your panties, of course.â
And itâs the only warning youâre getting.
Before Toji latches his puckered lips to your cunt- properly, this time. And his loooooong tongue was lavishinâ across every inch of your pussy he can reach. Through your pantiesâToji gapes his mouth open and laps like a fuckinâ animal at the leaking slit your underwear was stick to, your swollen folds, your utterly needy button.Â
âMmmmpf-â Tojiâs prominent nose pushes apart your pussylips, and heâs feelinâ for that puckered, pretty nub. Already throbbing like youâve been so impatient for him this entire time.
He presses himself closely against your clit for a few secondsâthrob-throb-throb!
Like a ticking time bomb. Heâs driving himself absolutely wild; before snakinâ your panties to the side and thrashing his tongue against your raw cunt. Slurping. Sucking. Everything and anything of you he could find - heâs pushing himself so nose-deep into your pussy that he damn-near canât breatheâand eating you out like an animal. âMmmm, donât you move a s-single inch now.â Toji tightens his hold on your quivering legs. âI havenât even started yet.â
âStarted whatâŠ?â You babble out - your hips were yearning to push off the creaking mattress.
Though all it took was a fraction of his strength to pin you back down, roverinâ his tongue on the slick-glued insides of your folds. Rooooound and round in circles that left your mind dizzy. âHeh- what else dâyou think?â Toji answers. âMâteaching this pussy how to take Fushiguro Toji, that mouth of yours barely could.âÂ
âRude.â
Before you could pipe up anything more witty, heâs spankinâ four fingertips down on your glistening pussy. âSânot rude if itâs true.â
âIâm the teacher here, though.â
âThen maybe Iâm the principal.â He leers- swabbing the fat edge of his tongue into your hole. âGonna grade you and everythingâŠâ
âThatâs fuckinâ cornyââ
âMade your pussy weep, though.â
And just in good time, too- because almost immediately heâs letting that first inch of his tongue fuck inside your cunt. Just the first inch. But it was already enough to make your toes curl nâ your back archâTojiâs wet muscle was just so thiiiiiiick.
Heâs plugginâ up your orifices with a mere few thrusts - the ridged texture of his tastebuds kneading your tight walls. Shovelling you open. Shovelling himself deeper inside. The flickerinâ tip of his tongue laps against some of your most tender areas nâ then pushes up into the sensitive roof of your cunt-Â
âSh-shiiiiitââ Youâre keening out in the prettiest trill heâs ever heard. Toji has the audacity to let out a wet giggle at your dripping core - clenching âround him.
His ears burn at the musical note- and before long, your folds are burning at the searing smack! that heâs planting on top of your cunt. Your head drops down to stare at him in shock.
âThatâs a C- for handling yourself.â He echoes. Two more spanks followâbefore Toji nuzzles your gummy pussy nâ laps his tongue across your clit. âBut an A for pretty moans.â
âI th-think that grading syllabus is a little- ngh! skewed, donât you think?â
Yet another spank.
âNot at all.â
He was merciless. Ruthless.Â
Absolutely impounding you with those slashing, scouring strokes of his - Tojiâs thrusts manage to reach so much deeper than youâd have ever guessed. And when he felt that his tongue was stuffed inside your pretty pussy far ânough, heâs flaring those edges outwards and scraping his tastebuds down the sides of your walls. Stimulating your snug channel sooooo fuckinâ goodâ
âSâthat so?â Toji flutters his long, dark lashes up at you. It takes a second for you to register that you might just have said that last thought out loud.Â
Though youâre merely steeling your expression and nodding-
Heâs plasterinâ his fingertips against your puckered pussy with a chuckle. âCute. But flatteryâs gonna get you nowhere- with all this damn squirming youâre doing, your Câs dropping down to a- haaaah, D.â
Your eyes pop open. âB-butâŠâ
âAnd just think-â Toji continues without a single speck of mercy for you. His tongueâs tunneling and thrusting- faster than your frenzied mind can keep up with. â-that if youâre reacting like this to just my long tongueâŠâ Thrust after thrust after thrustâthe curvaceous inches of his tongue donât leave a single bundle of nerve unprobed. Zig-zagging and swabbing wildly - your eyes are rolling to the back of your head. â-yer gonna fucking run away when it comes to my cock, doll.â
âOhââ Youâre tumbling your hips constantly up to him. Attempting to heighten the friction. âPromise I wonât. Promise-â
âAnd now look at you.â And after all heâs taught youâŠToji grasps his left hand underneath your arching body. Grabbing a nice handful of your ass cheeks- it makes him smile to watch your mouth drop in shock at the lecherous action. âDropped down to a D-.â
A fucking minus.
That earns you several more wet spanks. And then a fucking pinchâright on your clit.Â
And Toji merely trundles, âWhere the fuck does this pretty pussy think sheâs going?â
Crashing his lips intoâŠyours. Quiverinâ your weakened limbs around the back of his neck-Â
Your ankles are weakly latching themselves there- slightly glissading down his glossy strands. It messes up his hair just a little, and Tojiâs soon finding himself smirking against those pussylips.
âTchâŠfine, you get a B for neediness.â
Only a B?!
But perhaps it was better that youâd kept your mouth shut - mostly because you couldnât speak over the primal moans that kept escaping your throat - because then Tojiâs sinking his canines âround your clit and swervinâ his face aaaaaaall around your pussy. Every corner and inch.
Heâs fucking coating his features in a layer of your shimmering slick.
Like a damn medallion.
It clings to him in long, ropey excess.Â
âO-oh my godââ And then your trilling vocals break the very second that heâs intruding your hole once more- this time, with his fingersâŠ
You weave your own hands into Tojiâs sweat-dampened hair and hold on for dear life.Â
âHmmm, a little possessive, huh? Mâbumping that neediness to a- hah, A+...heh.â As a reward, youâre getting his textured lips encasing your sopping clitâjust so desperate and damn-near flinching with how hard you were pulsing between your legs. Needing. Needing.Â
Your breath comes out in stuttered bursts, and it takes everything in you to echo. âA-and what do I have to reach to- mm, get your cock, Toji?â
âI dunno, arenât you the one with a t-teaching degree?â Heâs babbling- before that haziness in his eyes clear up once he realizes what heâs just said. âNo, waitâIâm pretending to beâŠIâm the one gradinâ nowâŠâ
Toji looks down at your pussy as though offended. A spank wasnât enough, heâs properly spitting.Â
âThis pussyâs made me pussydrunk, heeeeh?â He scoffs nâ edges in to suckle on your clitâall while his two bulky fingers were scissoring between your pussylips. âAn A+ for thatâŠâ
Pussydrunk.
Though youâre not doing too well yourself.
Youâre just sizzling from the very insides - even your very vessels seemed to be vibrating with that carnal sort of needy for him. And as Tojiâs slashing strikes with his fingers accelerate, so does that kindling pit of pleasure in your stomach. âI th-think mâclose, TojiâŠâ
âClose?â Tojiâs breath hitches. âClose? And we havenât even finished the grading yetâbuck up, doll, because mânot holding back anymore.â
âTh-that was you holding back?!â
Evidently so.Â
And you can surely attest to thatâin mere moments, heâs adding in a third finger with a lecherous slurp! of his honed inches beinâ all sucked in. Down every single joint. Down to his damn knuckles; youâre feeling those mountainous ridges push up against your sensitive pussy, and Tojiâs three fingers were rovering and reeeeeaching every single spot inside.Â
Claiming them as his.Â
Toji laps up a silken line of slick thatâd dripped from your cunt and down his wristâyou were claiming him as yours, tooâŠâGot a second to hear your grades, doll?â Whilst the desperate pleads start to bubble at your throat- âWonât be givenâ you this cock until you doâŠâ
âThen tell them to meââ You shriek. Haaaauling at the thick tufts of his scalp, âFucking tell them, Toji.â
âWell, manners fuckinâ F.â Toji huffs- but he couldnât fool you. Ohhh, the expression on his face was pure ecstasy as you guided his lapping face around your cunt. âBut manners for this pussyâŠhmmmmâŠB.â
âOnly a fucking B-â
âRoughness: used to be C- but oh, mâthinking itâs now an A.â He comments - the more and more frustrated you become, the more your carnal urges surface. Your grip is searing on his scalp. Your legs are locking around his neck. âDoesnât mean you can go easier on me now, teach.â
âFuh-fuuuuck, Tojiââ
âWetness: A+ of course.â Rolling his eyes as if that should be obvious, âSweetness: A++.â
âFuck-â
âThat mouth of yours? D.â
âFuck you.â
âMâtrying to. And hmmmm, about the way she clenchesâŠâ He ponders- before then directly diverting his round, rotund fingertips to the spot just a few inches into your channel. Heâs already mapped your smallest ridges nâ crevices out by all of these thrusts- and youâre feeling pure white-hot pleasure run down your spine as Toji then rams his dexterous fingers into your fucking g-spot. âThatâs an A+++â
Because of course, youâre keeping him hostage.
Of course, youâre squeezing your velvety walls around him until his joints were turning whiteâand Tojiâs fingers were havinâ a tough time moving back and forth stuffed between those clingy walls of yours.Â
And yetâŠheâs scissoring apart your needy grip and ramminâ into your deepest, most sensitive depths.Â
Again and again and again- âYeahâŠthis pussyâs definitely gonna take me now. Isnât that right, teach?â But the only thing your fried head can urge you into doing is nodding. âThaâs what I thought. Dumbification: A.â Toji cocks his head. âDonâtcha think Iâm being too nice with these grades?â
Shaking your head fervently- through sobs.
âMmmmâŠwell, I think I am.â His canines teasingly grip your clit and draaaaag that swollen nub out. âSâalright doll. After this, you can grade my cock when sâtimeâŠâ
He smirks - still keeping that firm attachment onto your most sensitive place - and you can feel it. You can feel itâ
âAnd you can be as fuh-fuckinâ ruthless as you want.â Tojiâs long fingers then curl inside your cunt for a final time beforeâŠâBecause I know mâgonna be fucking my girl right.â
Before youâre shattering.
Breaking into your highâit first starts with an explosion of pleasure between your legs- before teleporting right up to your fuzzy head. Your thighs were quaking. Your pulse was thundering so loud you could hear it with your own ears- and it felt as though those torrential waves of bliss were just taking you over.
âOhâoh, fuck.â Clawing your hands through Tojiâs hair. The only anchor you had was this- and the tunneling digits that were fingering you to ecstasy- he was hitting at every peak. He was elongating your orgasm more than you ever thought possible. âFuck, fuck, fuck- fuuuuuck, Toji.â
âThaâs right- say my name.â He grunts. Such lecherous slurps! echoing from between those legs of yours as he sucked nâ sucked on your clit simultaneously. âSay my name- say my name. Whoâs making you feel this good?â
âToji.â You hiccup. âY-you, Toji.â
A sudden spank! resounds across all four corners of the room.
Your high crescendos even further than your limits- or at least what youâd assumed them to be.Â
âI was lookinâ for sir, but that works, tooâŠâ Your jaw drops at the boldness of this man.Â
âSir? D-donât think that youâre getting off easy when I- ngh, when I finally ride you stupid.â As the last few pangs of your orgasm shimmer through your body, youâre managing to gather your thoughts better than before. âWhat do you think youâd get anyway?â
Toji pulls off your oversensitive pussy with a loud plap! âAâs across the board.â
âOh, donât be so humble.â
With that said- youâre reaching out and grabbing Toji by the collar. He gets dragged upwardsâthe bed dips as the larger man cages you in with his strong forearms. He leers, âI think you pass, donât you?â You could see that somewhere during makinâ out with your pussy, Toji had tugged down his pants- likely to jerk himself off as he did so.
And his long cock stood aching and rock-hard between his legs.
That round, reddened tip of his seemed to wink up at you as he dribbled out a single bead of precum. Aaaaall the way from the edge of his cockhead, and aaaaaall the way down to his bushy black curls at the base.Â
Your mouth waters.Â
Hands on his body- his fingers tearing through your own fabric. Soon enough youâre naked beneath himâand heâs just as devastatingly bare. Perfectly-aligned abs. Chiselled pecs. Fushiguro Toji had a body that made him look as though he was hand-carved by Hercules himself- it was just so sensual the way his ladder-like core pushed down against yours.
And itâs so difficult to keep a stern face facing him when those bulky biceps of his were flexingâright next to your face.Â
But somehow you manage- you were a professional after all, werenât you?
âIâm serious about what I said on riding you stupid.â Youâre murmuring up at him, âFlip over.â
He smirks, âAnd if I donât?â
Within split-seconds, youâre grabbing a fistful of his hair and watch as his cock twitches at the rough manhandlingâat the way youâre turning the two of you over and straddlinâ his hips. Toji bucks with a groan underneath you, but youâre quicker than that- and youâre clasping a hand around his gulping throat. Sweaty and scorching to the touch .
âAh ah-â You tut. âYou already had your fun. Now itâs time for mineâŠâ
âAye aye, teach.â
âQuiet coyote.â
Toji mimes zipping his lips shutâbut thereâs openinâ back up again almost instantly once he feels your sultry hips swivelling down his cock. You duck a hand underneath yourself to grab his throbbing hilt- and before long, his wet tipâs smushing apart your pussylips. Heâs intruding that hole of yours and bucking up into where you needed him the most.Â
He shovels in a few more inches with an echoing sluuuurp! of your pussy viciously gulping him up.
âWhat did IâŠoh.â Beside yourself, your headâs throwing backwards at the sheer pressure he was creating inside. âWhat did I say about staying still?â
âActuallyâŠyou didnât say anything about that.â That grin of his was infuriatingly handsome. âStill, mmm, cockdrunk?â
âYou wishâŠâ Though that wasnât an outright denial.
It was true that your mind was coiled with fog after your last orgasm; the dopamine still coursing through your body. And the way that Tojiâs thickened, textured length was pushing your walls aside wasnât helpingâit was making you feel sensations so raw and carnal- that salivaâs dripping down one side of your mouth after a mere few semi-thrusts.
Just the bulging edge of Tojiâs tip scourinâ your channel inwards.
âAwww, donât tell me I was right?â He asks you- and it registers as mere distant words. Toji reaches out his right hand and wipes away that splatter of spit - before bringing it up to his own mouth and sucking. What an animal. âCanât grade olâ Tojiâs cock? Or is it- heh, so good that Iâm breaking all the scales?â
âYou fucking-â
âYeah yeah, wish- right?â He scoffs meanly. But honestlyâŠhe might be teasing you but he was completely infatuated with the idea of your smart mouth babbling for him like this.
The way you were twitchinâ with every light graze of his flared tip.
Your insides were getting used to him, and Toji was only stuffing himself even deeper. âRightâŠâ Though of course- Toji himself wasnât doing all too hot. Just a single one of your adhesive-like clenches and he canât help but buckâ
âEasy, eeeeasy- you can take me, my girl.â He grits his teeth. He blinks back the tears in his eyes. Heâs guiding your impatient hips nâ grinding your cunt dooooown onto his pelvis. âFuck- fuck, and how dâyou grade the stretch?â
Your eyes pop open. âThe stretch?â
âMhm- the streeeeetchâyeah?â Tojiâs chest rumbles in delight as he watches your every microexpression and reaction. Even the smallest curlings of your toes. âSuch a big stretch feels good, yeah?â
âMhm- I rate it aâŠâ Your jaw hangs open- as though to purposefully influence your grading, heâs shovelling his length a few more times. Faster. âB.â
And thatâŠwhat the fuck?!
âA fucking what?â That makes Tojiâs maw gape, and his handsome face twist into something of bewilderment. You look at him and you honestly let out a little chuckle - but that seems to only spur his driving hips even further. âOh noooo, doll. Youâre joking.â
âI said what I said.â Biting back. âItâs a B becauseâŠâ Throwing your head back and archingâyouâre gaining more movement in your hips and letting him push inside. â-youâre just not- fuck. Bottoming. Out. Fucking do it alreadyâ!â
His feet plant ever-so-slightly on the ricketing mattress- and that means you were feeling the plushness of his muscular thighs against your back. Those tendons and rippling strength. Thereâs honestly nothing more for you to do but gnaw down on your trembling lower lip in the hopes that those embarrassing noises wonât escape-
Because Toji then glues his hands upon either side of your hips and slams your cunt down onto him.
Itâs such incredible friction. Itâs so many of his winding veins- pushinâ apart your walls and scouring you all overâ
Youâre arching your back into him and gasping- âAâŠâ
âA what?âÂ
âA for your veins.â And that honestly manages to catch him off-guard and make him let out an exhilarated bout of laughter. Being in your presence was like four shots of espressoâfucking you was four shots of vodka. Straight. Heâs dizzy and heâs clamorinâ his numerous inches up your pretty channel, watching as you drip glittering globs of slick all âround him.Â
âOhâŠâ Toji seems to grow even bigger inside you. He grips you as hard as your pussy was clenchinâ him. âKeep going-â
âAnd a- fuck, an A for your paceââ Just perfect. Dizzingly fast; whilst still being steady and balanced enough that you were able to feel his textured length slipping into every spot he needed to slip intoââAnd aâŠa fucking F for your attitude.â
âHeyâŠâ Toji juts his scarred lip out in a mock-attempt at a pout. âDonât imply mâsassy when your pussy speaks like that to me.â
Right on cue, youâre letting out some of the most sinful slurps as your cunt slaps right down onto him. Onto his hefty balls.Â
Tojiâs thick brows raise at the sounds- even he didnât think that your pussy could get this chatty. Mouth falling agape as he watches you drip-drip-driiiip.
Youâre grabbing onto both of Tojiâs sculptured deltoids for balance, increasing your pace as your legs start to grow limp. Perhaps noticing your little struggle, heâs supporting one of your legs with his left handâand thumbing over your clit with his right. âAnd then? What elseâdick got yer tongue?â
âYou fuckinâ wish.â You snipe back.
âYeah.â Toji simply replies. Without a single warning, heâs craning his head up and signalling you to open your mouth- instinctually, your tongue sticks out. Perfect for him to spitâa heaping mess between your lips. âYou looked so pretty with my cock stuffed down your throat, too.â
Grumbling - though it was just for show - yet you swallow. âThat was a B- since you almost missed.â One of your hands reaches up to swipe at the splattered saliva piled on the edge of your mouth.
âOh, no.â With such a loving glint in his eyes, heâs leaning up and kissing the mess heâd just left behind. âThat was totally on purpose, doll.â
âF-filthyâŠâ
âYou know it, teach.â
Both of your bodies were slick with sweat and glissading against one another- Toji himself was especially frenzied with his movement. His thrusts. His battering rams. The way his pointed tip struck the end of your cervixâbottomed-out, and then smeared apart your channel to drag aaaaaaall the way back down. Aaaaaaall the way back in.
And through it all- youâre sputtering out the same ruthless grading of his cock. Red-hot and ruining your insides with every thrust. Pump after pump- âDeepnessâŠB.â
Bruising his tipâs circumference at the very back of your pussy. Dribbling out ribbons of pre.Â
âHmmm, alright a B+.â Pleasure runs through your body the more nâ more Toji grows irritated- because that meant the more he was trying to prove himself. The harder he was fucking you. âAnd the- hah, curve: an A.â
âDamn right.â That, he could most certainly be proud of. That slightly upwards curve of him was the perfect shape to mold your walls- to let his honed tip be the searchlight.
And your sweetest spots were what he was aiming for.
After a few more vulgar strokes, Tojiâs rediscovering and ramming himself into none other than your g-spot. That throbbing bundle of nerves thatâd just kept on and on waiting for him to probe you with his shaftâperhaps a bit too long at thatâŠâWhat took you so long to find that spot again, Toji?â
âTake it easy on meâŠâ He pleads with a slight hint of amusement. âYour pussy was to- mmm, hypnotizing. You canât blame a guy for taking a little timeâŠneedy fuckinâ pussy.â
That last bit was said to himself- underneath his breath, in fact.
And yet, your proximity means that youâre catching onto every single word - and without a split-second of hesitation youâre countering back. âOh? What was thatâŠIâm sorry, maybe I was- hngh, hearing things? Because it just sounded to me like you wanted all your g-grade to plummet to an F?â
His lips part. âYou wouldnâtâŠâ
You peck him on the mouth. âTry. Me.â
And fuuuuuckâitâs clear heâs not expecting the way that sends pangs of excitement coursing through every inch of him. Itâs clear he doesnât know what to fucking do with himself- once he propells his ruddied cockhead to hit against the door to your womb.
And Tojiâs thighs are left shivering at the way your walls immediately rush to embrace him.
Suctioning him.
A ribbon of drool drips slowly from the edge of his mouth, âA-and what do I have to do to make it up?â
âHmmmm?â The fact that you made the Fushiguro Toji stutter so blatantly like thisâŠit was driving you wild. It was making the cockiest smile plaster across your face- he wanted to kiss it away so bad but you were teasingly inching your lips away, making him work for it.Â
He growls and repeats- âWhat do I have to fucking do to get- hah, extra credit? To make up for myâŠâ Tojiâs prominent Adamâs apple bobs. â-mistake.âÂ
âThere now. Was that so hard to- hah, admit?â You coo. âGimme a D.â
âHuh?â Toji gapes. âArenât you the one supposed to be- ngh, giving out the grades?â
âYeah, I know. Iâm just telling you to shut up and fuck me harder with your fat dickââ
âYes, maâam.âÂ
He lightly stirs his hips in semi-circular motions to get the most out of his veiny cock- to make sure that those prized nâ precious vessels were massaging your insides just right. âFuck-â Your entire upper half is shaking from stimulation - âFuck, fuck, fuuuuuckâjust like that.â
âHngh, oh yeah?â Honed canines beared.
âFaster-â And he listens.
âHarder.â And he listens once more.
âFucking-â Youâre it escape you in a trilling tone. â-b-breed meâŠâ
Tojiâs breathless once the words register to him. âYes, maâamâŠâÂ
Pumping up into you - meeting your bouncinâ cadence - like he was angry with you. Like he was trying to shove to your deepest depths nâ then probe his erect cock even further. Like he was trying to meld your bodies into oneâ
He was fucking you in a way that was so animalistic.
And Toji canât help it- fuck, he canât help but throw his head backâit just feels so good. Eyes shuttering. Brows furrowing. His hips unsticking from the now-dampened bedsheets to arch properly up into you-
But thatâs when he feels those familiar fingers âround his throat again.
âAh ah ahââ You tut. Your vision was just a little bleary from all the tears and pleasure clogging up your mind- âAnd who said you could- hah, move, hm? Seems like youâre the one running away, not me. What? Scared mâgonna milk you too hard, Fushiguro Toji?â
He growls. âYou littleâŠâ
âF- for handling yourself.â Remembering just how much heâd teased you earlier for similar reactions just made these words so much sweeter on your tongue. âIn factâŠâ
Toji looks eagerly up at you through his bangs.
To which youâre taking your lazy time changing your sloppy cadence into figure-eights instead. It swerved nâ stirred his pussy around your depths; and made it so that the most sensitive parts of Tojiâs veins - that pinkish line underneath his slit, the frailest of his veins, where his balls rested - were being stimulated. Making him pour out wads of precum into you as though it was a waterfallâ
âSee me after class.â
âFuck yes.â Toji grunts to himself- his hair was flying into his face, and every bit of his skin seemed to be furiously flushed. âFuckâfuck, I need to cum inside you.â
Plap after plap after plap! of his hips hitting yours. âMhmmmââ
âI n-need to fill you up until here-â His thumb briefly detaches from your clit to graze your lower stomach, where your womb was wont to be. âI need to feel it pouring out of you- then fuck it all back in.â And he was pistoning into you like it, too.
âShit, mâclose-â
Hard. Fast. The wads of his sappy precum only get stronger and more frequent - âI n-need toâŠâ
Tojiâs voice hatches into nothingness in his throat, and youâre cooing down at him cutely. âWhatâs thaaaat?â
âNeed you to make me a f-father for a second time.â Toji utters.
And then with a particularly hard press on your heart-shaped, swollen clitâyouâre both tumbling into your highs together. Tumbling into one another as you both hold each other through your strong orgasms - even stronger than the one youâd had prior.
Zaps and twinges of pleasure.Â
Goosebumps dapple across your skin.
Your spine arches into him.Â
Now you have Tojiâs ravenous cock bulging into your walls- his globular tip searchinâ for every sweet spot and pinpointing them using his shape. That only elongated the sparks of your high until it felt never-ending; and dopamine washes over your body and leaves you wracking. Hands clawing down wherever you could latch onto the older man. Your knees squeezing tighter around his waist to milk him through his own euphoria. âYesâyes, just like that.â
âOhâŠoh, look at the way mâdripping out of youâŠâ Tojiâs mouth unfastens. Your cunt had already been bloated around his cock- now with his volumes of cum being webbed up inside, it was almost too much for you to handle.
And Tojiâs orgasm rips through him strongâeven his powerful limbs were wrapped around you as he powered through it. His thumb tremblinâ as he rolled and rolled.
He breathes out hot and heavy when those fingers of his dare to wonderâŠright along where a sheen was spreading along your inner-thighs. Every satiny drop of cum he was pouring out gets slid down your cervix- and then trickles deep inside of you. âSo messy, this pussy oâ mine.â
âYours?â You gasp. Though even that tiny reaction meant you feel his warm wetness splosh! inside you.
âMhmmmââ He nods drunkenly. Left arm wrapping behind you and pulling you to him - resting you against his chest. âBut donât worryâŠthis cock is yours, too.â
You scoff. âThe audacity. Didnât I give this cock an F?â
âYeah, you sure did give me a fuck.â
You decide that the only way to shut up him is to overstimulate him by fuckinâ himâperhaps unfortunately for you, Fushiguro Toji seemed to have had the same idea.
âMmm, now what about the parent-teacher meeting? We already- oh, handed out the grades, didnât we?â Heâs whispering in your ear once heâd somehow manhandled you into a doggy position. Sculpted abs pressed against your spine. Beefy arm wrapped around your throat in a headlockâ
âT-to say what?â Youâd wheezed out.
âThat mânot done fucking this pussy pregnant.â

FUSHIGURO MEGUMIâS (and co.) FIVE-STEP PLAN TO MATCHMAKE HIS FATHER AND HIS TEACHERâPHASE FIVE: đČđđđ đđâŠ
Itâs so over.
Today was the day of the talent show; and Fushiguro Megumi had never felt more untalented.Â
And noâŠit wasnât because of any of the other competitionâif he had any idea how these things go, at the end they were going to say that everyone won and everyone gets a prize. This was elementary school, after all. And he was quite grown up.Â
Anywaysâthe point is his, Itadori, and Kugisakiâs magic show had been quite the hit amongst parents especially.
And that wasnât why he was feeling untalented.Â
It wasnât because Todoâs PG-censored version of a Megan Thee Stallion song had been honestlyâŠquite good. It wasnât because Yutaâs puppeteering act had been something thatâd drawn endeared laughter from both kids and parents alike. It wasnât even because of the act that was happening right nowâŠwhere Inumaki was standing alone on center stage with a notebook opened up in his hands. The last act of the night.
The rest of the show had gone swimmingly.
Inumaki was a bit more of the quiet type, but at this moment he speaks into the mic loud and clear.Â
âFor my talent today, I am going to read out vocabulary words taught to me by Fushiguro-san. Thank you Fushiguro-san!â
The audience coos and turns to try and find the aforementioned man.
From his position peaking-in from backstage, Megumi watches his father pale from the first row. And then sink deeper into his seat.
Deeper.
And deeper.
And deeper-
âBud.â
Though the rest of the audience nods in sweet endearment- Tojiâs damn-near jumping out of his seat in surprise. That wasâŠclearly not what he had been expecting.
Not at all.
Inumaki continues.
âCookie.â
And Toji has gathered enough bravery toâŠperhaps properly sit up in his seat. Clapping along with the other parents- looking around to make sure that he wasnât just hearing things. And this was actually what Inumaki was reciting.
âConcussion.â
That one draws some admiring sounds. Such a big word for such a small kidâgood on Fushiguro Toji, right?
He might just be safeâŠ
âAnd divorce.â That one draws mixed reactions- but Inumaki closes his infamous blue notebook, and Toji lets out a sigh of relief - one that was nearly audible backstage.Â
Along with the rest of the parents, he can whole-heartedly start clapping now. Maybe even throw in a cheer or two.
Let the audience know that he was the mastermind behind such academic advancements. Yeah, maybe they should pay him.
But Inumaki wasnât done yet.
âAnd my favorite yetââ Which one was it? Which other important vocabulary word had Toji so graciously bestowed upon this kid? Which other aspect of his life had Toji alleviated by the sharing of precious, precious knowledge? Inumaki firmly grips the mic. âIs fuc-â
Megumi leaps onto stage and snatches the microphone out of Inumakiâs hand before he can complete that specific wordâŠ
But the implication must have been evident either way, because then each set of eyes turns behind to the black-haired man. And glares. Toji flips them off. The applause is more polite than willing now. Then he decides that heâs never showing his face âround here again, heâs never stepping a foot through those damn multi-colored doors if it fucking kills him, heâs neverâ
Just then, youâre stepping onto the stage and graciously taking the mic from Megumi. Heâs so back.
âHello? Is this thing on?â You chuckle into it.Â
And TojiâŠToji knows. He knows he wouldnât mind being thrown a dirty look from every single person he meets- so long as youâre there to spot him out in a crowd. Tugging his son close to youâas you beckon all the other kids on-stage and start your speech.
Itâs mostly thanking those that made it possible; the parents, the staff, and especially the students. Toji isnât quite ashamed to admit that heâd been too busy drowning in your gorgeous tone to even register your wordsâ
Expectedly, you were telling the kids that everyone won - and Principal Yaga had been called on-stage to hand out prizes to every one of the kids. And as Fushiguro Megumi holds his prize - a custom trophy with his name, a certificate, and a bunch of art supplies - heâs suddenly remembering why heâd been feeling so untalented.
It had been a week since Phase Four of the mission to get you and his father together. And it had been a few days since parent-teachers meeting and Toji had come to pick him up the next day, smiling dopily.
Megumiâs sure his fatherâs losing his marbles.Â
And he has the strange, sinking feeling that after tonight- theyâd either forget about the plan or abandon it altogether. Feeling so hopelessâitâs so over.
âHey, FushiguroâŠâ Itadori not-so-successfully whispers to the black-haired boy, ultimately drawing attention from whomever was around the two of you. âFushiguro, isnât that your dad coming up the aisle?â
âAnd why does he have such a big bouquet of flowers?â Kugisaki adds on.
ThoughâŠonce Toji reaches the foot of the stage everything becomes very clear.
Because with a hand coming up to your mouth, and the spotlight shined on you, he lovingly hands you the plush bouquet of roses from below. Roses. Red, red roses.
With a silent thank youâyouâre kissing Toji on the cheek.
Every. Single. One of their jaws drop-
Inumaki starts scribbling something down in his notebook.
Yuta sticks an approving thumbs-up.
Even some of the parents in the audience whisper to one another - most nod approvingly.Â
And Toji catches Megumiâs eye to wink. âWeâll talk later.â He mouths.
Megumi nods mutely- excitement thrums through him so fast that his fists clenchâand Itadori has to clasp onto them. They succeeded? They really, truly succeeded?
His eyes are glimmering as he turns to Itadori and Kugisaki- both nodding excitedly in agreement. They couldnât squeal like they wanted to right now with Yagaâs speech droning on in the background, but afterâŠafter, they had a loooot of questions for the new couple.Â
Together; they loop their arms together in a silent victory.
Theyâre so back.
Though being silent was never something for Todo Aoi.
Yelling.Â
âFushiguro Toji rizzed Ms. Teacher before GTA 6â?!â
Synopsis. Five times Ryomen Sukunaâs âwingmanningâ family is the biggest cĂłckbIock in existence, and the one time he finally gets what he wants - you, his nephewâs hot preschool teacher.
âHell yeah.â Not the most courteous introduction to Yujiâs wide-eyed lilâ friends - but if Jin had bugged nâ blackmailed him into picking the brat up from preschool today then he was going to make sure it never happens again.
And as Yuji starts swinging from Sukunaâs broad, beefy biceps, he grins at his miniature crowd. âHe also has tattoos and likes to drink.â
âHell yeah- donât forget about the cars, twerp.â Sukunaâs nodding, breezing past the horrified faces of parents that tugged their children at least seven feet away. Seriously, how long was this teacher going to take? He could see your back hunched by another corner of the classroom, hugging a sniffly student goodbye.
âOh yeah- and he likes driving fast and slashing tires.â
You straighten, probably hearing every word - not that he cared, Sukuna couldnât imagine whoâd want to be around this all day. âHell ye- oh.â
Until you turned his way.
And Ryomen Sukuna feels his heart drop- right along with the muscular right arm that was stuck out for Yuji to climb all over like a handlebar. And with it, his nephew.Â
Who seems quite disgruntled at his sudden meeting with the soft, padded floor of the preschool classroom, standing on his own two feet for the first time since Sukuna had arrived here. He furrows his light brows, âHey- whaâs the big- oh! Teacher!â
Seems like it runs in the family, Sukuna muses - because all it takes is one glimpse of you starting to head their way before Yuji lights up as brightly as the Sun itself. And to Sukuna, whose nephew was a perpetual Christmas tree, it almost made him wish he wore his usual shades.
At least that wouldâve hid the way his crimson eyes sweep up nâ down your figure, languidly. Breath stuttered, mouth partly agape.Â
Sukunaâs utterly forgetting himself before heâs called out by one of Yujiâs friends- a squeaky, orange-haired girl no older than five. âEwwww- why are you red?â
âShut it, bob-cut.â
âSoââ Perfect timing, you sidle up to the bustling little group right as Sukuna spits out the tail end of his sentence. A brow of yours raised, bob-cut?Â
And oh- youâre even more perfect up close. Is it really too late for him to enroll in preschool? He didnât see any age restrictions around, and he could count till ten, surely. Genuinely considering, heâs gulping at the way your pretty eyes narrow. âJinâs not here today? Yuji, do you know this man?â
The boy in question bounces with excitement, âOf course! This is Sukuna, my uncle who just got out of jail and drives fast cars.â
âAh- ahah.â Said Sukuna chuckles gingerly, eyes flitting between his beaming nephew and your blank expression. Finally settling on the kid, âYuji! What have I told you about uh- the benefits of um- safe driving and caring for our fellow civilians on the road?â
And there was Sukunaâs first mistake - asking a question, because surely that was a sign for Yuji to nod solemnly. âThat itâs for lame pussies who- mmpf!â
âAhâŠâ You blink.
The damage was already done- but Sukunaâs clapping a meaty palm over Yujiâs mouth already. Oh, he was smashing this kidâs iPad when theyâre home. A thin line of nervous sweat beads down his temple as he stares up at you, âK-kids these days, right, maâam?â
Yuji frowns, âBut you do call them lame pussies who-â
âYuji!â
âRight right, miss.â The lively girl from before - Kugisaki, he thinks her name was - latches onto your swaying skirts. âAnd he also likes to drink.â
âAnd slash tires.â
âTuna mayo.âÂ
The crowd mercifully quietens down for a split-second. ââŠâ
Until a grumpy black-haired boy peeks through his bangs at that last line, as if translating. âHe says he also sets fires.â
Sukuna never said that - but he doesnât get a single chance to say so. Too busy staring at the constant knit of your brows, the way your gaze was darting from the children to Sukuna like a tennis match, trying to bite back a smile. âI-is that so?â
âAnd he has a lotta tattoos.â Yuji pries off his uncleâs muffling palm, back to climbing him like his very own jungle gym. As if to prove his point, he pokes the bulging band of black ink that encircles Sukunaâs bicep. âSee?â
And if he was any less devastated about making himself look like an absolute fool in front of his nephewâs pretty preschool teacher, then maybe heâd have noticed that look in your eyes.Â
Maybe.
Maybe heâd have seen the slight glint in them as you followed Yujiâs pudgy, directing finger - from the wide tattoos at his biceps, to his wrist, to the circles peeking through Sukunaâs off-white undershirt. So tight that it was like the pale color was nearly painted onto him- if Itadori Jin was the sweet, soft single dad that was always early for pick-up, then Sukuna was just rugged.Â
From the dishevelled state of his twinning rosy hair, to the studded piercing on his left earlobe, to the naturally-honed muscles that made him look hulking.
And it almost seemed like you wereâŠchecking him out? But surely that was a figment of Sukunaâs imagination, right? Right?
Youâre nodding as Yuji looks to you impatiently for approval, âWhy, youâre quite right, Yuji.â The corners of your glossed lips curl upwards as you turn to Sukuna - and he feels electricity pang down his body. âUncles these days, huh?â
Ah, he was gone for.Â
It was almost a comical sight, youâre thinking - such a large, towering man well over six feet, speechlessly gawking at you. Leaned forwards, ears red; barely even registering the way his nephew grabs onto the tufts of his coral pink hair like a horse- whispering for the rest of his friends to join in.
Kugisaki makes two treks grabbing onto his sides before sheâs looking up and crinkling her nose, âEw. Youâre red again, Mr. Felon.â
âHeâs not Mr. Felon, heâs Mr. Tire-slasher.â
Yuji shakes his head, âNo, heâs Mr. Mugshot.â Seated upon Sukunaâs broad shoulders, the boy adjusts his body to stick a hand inside his backpack and search. âWould you like to see the mugshot, miss-â
âOkay, time for us to get home.âÂ
Firmly, Sukuna tries to shoo away the army of toddlers trying to climb him as gently as possible - only four glares, now thatâs a record. Nephew still on his back, bag now wrestled into his hand and well away from where Yuji could procure any printouts of his (admittedly flattering) mugshot.Â
Heâs feeling his heartbeat pick up just a lilâ as he darts his eyes back to you, âI-it was just probation, by the way. Happened to slash some uh- tiresâŠâÂ
âAnd also drive fast!â Yuji pipes up happily.
ââŠThat too.â Grouchy face wincing at the amused smile on your face- goddammit heâs never going to be able to show his face here ever again. Sukuna simpers out a wave, making sure to flex his chiseled biceps at you ever-so-slightly - if he couldnât keep reputation, at least he could make you stare. âSee you âround, teach.â
âSee you around, Mr. Mugshot.â
Fuck.Â
.
.
.
âI thought I said Iâm not doing shit for the bratâs school again.âÂ
Jin patiently gestures for him to hush with the swearing in front of the gaggle of children, humming as he keeps handing out sugar cookies - half-off for dealing with Sukunaâs shoddy customer service. âWell, technically, weâre not in the preschool. Weâre in the park.â
His younger brother seethes, flicking the ribbons of his pretty pink apron (Jinâs doing, of course.) âHaving a damn bake sale-â
âShush, Ryo. There are children around.â
âExactly my point!â Was Sukuna the crazy one? He must be the crazy one. And heâs running a grumpy hand through his unruly pink locks- before remembering that one of those damn kids running around this bake sale had called him cotton-candy head and now heâs both irritated and unable to self-soothe.
Itâd been Jinâs idea to drag him to the preschool bake sale, held at the nearby childrenâs park- something about raising money for a talent show.
Honestly, fuck talent shows. It didnât even take two minutes surrounded by all the fanfare for him to have half the mind to eat those sweet treats himself and just leave-
âOh hey, youâre Mr. Mugshot.â A little boy wearing a panda mask, one heâs never even seen before, points up at him and giggles as Sukuna glares. Did that nickname really spread?
Heâs bending over their frilly pink stall with a damn good word or two about-
âOh! Jin, thank you for coming.â Before heâs hearing the sound of the pearly gates of heaven, and an angel to accompany right along with it. You. Whoâd silently meandered up to their cookie stand with an expression of both delight and concern. Your gorgeous mouth pursing as you stop to think, âAndâŠSukuna, right? Thank you, too, the children really appreciate the work youâre putting in.â
You remembered his name. He has to hold back a squeal.Â
âA-ah, yeah- yeah! Of course, of course.â Heâs swiftly leaning over the stall, arms crossed so that you can fully take in the way they streeetch his tight sleeveless turtleneck.Â
In the faint distance - honestly, it feels like miles away - heâs hearing the panda-mask boy unsubtly whisper something to his father about how âMr. Mugshot has turned red.âÂ
Not! Obviously not- smooth. Ryomen Sukuna is supposed to be smooth, and heâs desperately attacking his features into something that resembles suave nonchalance. âIâm aâŠreal philanthropic type of guy, yâknow?â Cocking his head with a smug grin, âSo, you come âround here often?â
Youâre smirking, your giggle sounding like his favorite song. âWell, it is my preschool class.â
Ah, shit. His eyes widen just a fraction, right.Â
Scoffing, âTch, uh, yeah. I knew that.â
So many days spent mentally praying that yet another one of Jinâs work meetings went over time again - just so that Sukuna would have an excuse to see your pretty face. And thatâs the first thing he says?
Suddenly, heâs too aware of the ogling toddlers, of the snug pink apron that he was currently donning - and the way your eyes seem to stray down to the gaudy bow settled between his pecs.
At this point, it seems even his brother takes pity on him. Adjusting his glasses with a soft chuckle, âIt seems Ryo here had the greatest time at pick-up last week, he only had good things to say about you, maâam.â
You blink in slight surprise, eyes taking in Sukunaâs large, fidgeting figure. âIâm quite flattered.â
Yes! Sukunaâs pleading eyes snap to the interested twinkle in your eyes, and then to the other man- yes, keep going!
âOf course, Yuji did tell me he was upset he didnât get to show you his printed mugshot of him. It was all that he could-â
Fuck no!Â
Catching the otherâs urgent eyes, Jin sputters- âB-but- but, it was just a little vandalism, of course. Just a little ahâŠa little driving and- eek!â Cutting himself off promptly as soon as Sukuna steps down on Jinâs foot, syllables stumbling, looking âround anywhere for any distraction. âWhy donât you- ah! Why donât you give our lovely teacher here a cookie, Sukuna. Free of charge.âÂ
Youâre waving your hands, oh-so-sweetly, âI could never, please let me pay-â
âNah, a pretty girl like you? I should give you more, ma.â He could give you a totally different type of cookie but this might just not be the place to say those words out loud- ah, heâs still got it.Â
Sukunaâs thumbing out the biggest baked treat between a fluffy tissue and handing it over to you- ready to feel the sweet, sweet graze of your fingertips, if he was lucky.
But oh- it seems like the gates of heaven really have just opened up to him, because instead of taking it from his hands, youâre leaning down and taking a bite. Straight from where he held it. Humming as the candied taste floods your mouth, the soft pushness of your lips taps against the edge of his thumb.
And he wonders how theyâd feel on his lips, instead.Â
âAh, sorry.â Youâre taking a peek at him through your lashes and maybe he doesnât still have it because Sukuna feels his breath hitch. âIt just looked so good, and my hands are a littleâŠâ
And itâs only then that heâs noticing just how many boxes upon bags of things youâd bought from nearly every stall here. Happy to support your students - oh, you really were an angel.Â
âOh, let me.â Ever the gentleman, Jin hastens to move around a few bags so that youâre more comfortable. All while Sukuna can only hold out the cookie and freeze. Slack-jawed.Â
Completely ridiculous.Â
He doesnât move a single millimeter, not even when youâre now able to easily grasp the baked good from him. Expectantly waiting, palm raised - while he only ogles you.Â
âI uh- let me just-â And it takes Itadori Jin both hands to pry the crumbling cookie from Sukunaâs hands, sighing before wrapping up about two more in apology and handing them over to you. âWe do hope you like them, maâam.â
âMhmââ Rubbing over the crumbs at the edge of your lower lip with one hand, you look dead-set on Sukuna as you murmur. âIt was delicious. My compliments to the chef.â
Sukuna might not have been the chef - baker, whatever you said goes - it was Jin, but he canât help but feel on top of the world as if he was. Waiting just until youâre out of sight, walking through the sunny Spring park up to the next parent-manned stand, to pump his fist with a low âhell yeah!â
âRyo, you havenât been this smitten since- well, ever.â
âDaddy, Mr. Mugshot is really weird.â
Sukuna whirls at a few staring parents- âThe fuck are you lookinâ at?â
.
.
.
âRemind me why youâre here again?â
âRemind me why youâre here again?â
Arguing with a thirteen-year-old wasnât very high on Sukunaâs bucket list, and yet, it seemed to happen on a nearly daily basis. He would blame middle school for being the root of Chosoâs attitude, but he suspects the new emo look has something to do with it, too.
And maybe the fact that the older man was accompanying one of his weekly visits to Yujiâs preschool playground. Cutting off just the last of Fridayâs classes just so that he could walk down the street to see his little brother. Despite seeing him at home every day, but still.Â
Thatâs also what Sukuna himself was here for- of course. Why else would he-
âAh ah- Kugisaki, what have I told you about using the toy construction hammer for things other than construction? We donât hit, mâkay?â
Sighing, the way that Sukunaâs towering frame leans against the playgroundâs cherry blossom tree for support draws such disgust from Choso. Dark eyes flickering between his blushing uncle, and you - in the middle of the sand pit, trying to wrangle a class of toddlers. âYouâre pathetic.â
âShut it, scrawny.â
âWhy donât you just talk to her?â
Sukunaâs life flashes before his very eyes, and strangely itâs mainly made up of every moment where heâs embarrassed himself in front of you. Looking away with a huff, âItâsâŠcomplicated.â
The other snickers, âWell, itâs about to get a whole lot more complicated because sheâs coming up to us right now.â
Oh, fuck.
Now, he might have had the sense to âaccidentallyâ bump into his oldest nephew just as he was on his route to meet Yuji (Sukuna had memorized his schedule, sauntering by this very block for an hour until heâd run into Choso) - but he didnât have enough wit for this.
Conversations? With both parties and a classroom of preschoolers participating?Â
He was just about ready to race right out of here and leave Choso to the wolves-
âCho! Youâre here as always.â Youâre smiling as you waltz up to them, a neat line of toddlers following you as they would a mother duck. Hitting him with your scent of flowers nâ the sunniest of days, âAnd I see youâve brought along a guest with you- how are you, Sukuna?â
âF-fine.â F-fine? With a stutter? Sukuna simply bristles at the smirk his nephew shoots his way, already feeling the tips of his pierced ears start to scald bright hot.Â
âBubba!â
Saved by the bell-like shriek of Yuji, enough to make Choso take a few steps over and hug his toddling brother so tight that the former squeals. Checking him over for scratches, dust, stickers- you name it.Â
Youâre catching the raise of Sukunaâs brows and chuckle, âHe is always quite the attentive older brother. You should join us more often, Iâm sure Yuji would enjoy having his favorite uncle around.â
Mouth dry, âIâm- Iâm his only uncle.â
Yet, your grin still stands - a slight knowing curve in them that makes his brain fuzzy, and his lips just a bit too loose. Did he say he liked drinking again? What a fucking lie, you got him more buzzed than a shot of straight vodka pumping through his nerves.Â
And heâs finding himself reaching over to brush a stray petal of cherry-pink from your crown. Blurting out before he can stop himself, âHeyâŠso whatâs your ty- I mean, are you seeing any-â
âSheâs mine!â Cuts off an annoying, grating voice - one that understood what you evidently didnât, with the few syllables that Sukuna had been able to croak out.
And heâs looking over your shoulder to find himself being stared down (stared up at?) by a boisterous, buzz-cut boy slightly older than Yuji. Protectively standing behind you as he glared daggers, âWhen Iâm old like you, she shall be my bride, Mr. Mugshot.â
Huh.
Youâre droning out in your nicest tone, wagging your finger. âNow now, Todo Aoi, what have I told you about not proposing to your teachers?â
âTo not.â
âAnd what are you doing?â
âProposing.â Stifling a sigh, you realise that it would be yet another chat with Todoâs guardian about the boyâs harmless little puppy crush.Â
But before you can direct the conversation back towards anything else, heâs stabbing an accusing index up at Sukunaâs looming frame. âMiss teacher here-â Not quite your name, but close enough. â-and my sweet idol Takada-chan are the only ones I shall marry. You canât have either!â
âWho the hellâŠâ Sukuna furrows his brows- what was this boy talking about? âListen, kid, I-â
âPffftâ!â He could recognize that burst of muffled laughter anywhere, and at least Choso was having a grand olâ time- whispering to Yuji, âDonât you think this is like those late-night dramas dad pretends not to watch?â
No! Sukunaâs internally groaning.Â
âOh- oh yeah!â An over-hearing Kugisaki bounces at the mention of dramas, âMy mommy watches those. Times like this the two guys will fight over the pretty girl.â
Todo puffs up his chest, âThen fight me, old man- I demand a duel!â
âIâm not even thirty?â
âThatâs old.â Choso nods.
âYouâre thirteen.â
âIâm five!â Yuji jumps up, and immediately his older brotherâs pulling his phone out to snap a few hundred photographs at the cuteness.Â
Todo stomps, âFight me, fossilââ
And his young nephew - that traitor - is the next one to shrill with glee at the altercation, clapping his hands once Todo charges forward with a damn war cry to pummel Sukunaâs abs with hits about as fierce as cotton. âFight! Fight! Fight!â
At the slight raise of your brows at the chaos, Sukuna rushes to explain, âPlease excuse my nephewâs behaviour, maâam, I donât know where he got it from-â
Choso deadpans, âBut youâre the one that taught us that the best talk is to talk with your fists because-â The two brothers turn to each other in unison, as if preaching the truth and nothing but the truth. â-weâre no weakass bi-â
âTheir father.â Sukuna grits out- okay, maybe that kidâs punches were getting a little more painful. Or maybe it was just the way you were cocking your head at him that made his stomach churn, âSurely.âÂ
âDefend the honor of your woman, geriatricâ!â
Seemingly snapping out of the little reverie of taking in whatever the fuck this was, you clap your hands in that teacherly way to demand silence. âAlright alright, break it up. You wouldnât want me to take down any of your star points, would you, Aoi?â Tugging away the boy from Sukuna, you grimace up at him. âIâm so sorry about all of- well- this.â
âYâknow how they apologize to each other in the dramas?â Kugisaki speaks up, and honestly, this girl really did speak up at the most inopportune times. She glows at all the attention on her, âThey kiss.â
And she was a genius.
An absolute genius, bob-cut!
Yuji - ever his lilâ ally - starts pumping his fist with whoots- âKiss! Kiss! Kiss!â
Starting up a slight chant within your group, you turn to him in question.
âI uhâŠâ Sukuna starts, tilting his body down ever-so-slightly, until you could could nearly every thread on his dark hoodie. The way his slashing tattoos framing his jaw ripple as he gulps, âYou donât have to do anything if you donât want to, ma- thatâs assuming you wanted to do something, and what I meant was-â
It was one second. A singular, heavenly second that your lips graze the right side of Sukunaâs cheek as he rambled - fluttering away right before his skin started to scorch with a blush.
Quite frankly, fuck nonchalance.Â
âEwww, heâs red again. Whatâs wrong with him?â
âWere you this red when you were setting fires, Mr. Mugshot?â
âHe looked nothing like this in his mugshot- wanna see?â
âSalmon.â
Ears tinting a shade that matches his hair, voicebox void of any coherent words, Sukuna barely even functions until heâs hearing the sharp ka-chick! of a camera shutter. Whirling his head âround to find Choso with his phone pointed at him, catching him in all his flustered glory. âIâll send it to the family groupchat.â He turns to you. âAnd to you on the preschool groupchat.â
Imagine Sukunaâs surprise when he finds you nodding, âMhm, oh, and I should really be getting the kids back now, itâs almost time for the bell.â Making the kids waddle into a neat line once more, you wave. âThank you for the visit- do come again, it was quiteâŠinteresting.â
And they stare - Choso at Yuji, Sukuna at you - as you and your classroom disappear back within the preschool walls. âNo phone for you for two weeks.â
âNo hot teacherâs number for you forever.â
Only after a second- âHey- hey kid. Show me that number again? Iâll make it one week.â
.
.
.
Sukuna had almost, mercifully, forgotten about that damn talent show.Â
The bake sale? Gaping at you for nearly five full minutes straight? Never happened.Â
And heâd almost convinced himself of that- until the time came for him to be seated right on the very front row of the cozy preschool auditorium. Taking up nearly three chairs as he squeezes himself into the humble seat, arms crossed and scowling.Â
âYou knowâŠâ Jin claps as Yuji and Kugisaki fight to clamber onto stage first, with a reluctant Fushiguro in tow. About to showcase whatever it is that theyâd been practising with doves and sticks all week. From the corner of his mouth, âWhen we had the kiddos over, Megs told me something very interesting the other day.â
âHm.â Sukunaâs grunts noncommittally when Yuji pulls out a comically large fairy wand - ah, a magic show.
âSomething about you duelling with a kid for the hand of a certain someone.â
Letting out a strangled groan, his eyes immediately find you - as they always seemed to do. Stuck on the way you were kneeled by the front of the stage, motivating each little performer tonight. âY-ya donât sayâŠâ
Jin beams, âYou know, you should really ask her out, Ryo- oh! Do you need our help? I can tell you this, the Itadori family makes great wingmen.â
âYa donât say.â
Tattletale, Sukunaâs grousing. And just as Fushiguro Megumi finds himself being stuffed into a box - to be sawed in half as all good magicians did, apparently - the older man slowly, menacingly pulls out his prized camcorder.Â
Just in time for Fushiguro to glance over and have his face pale at the blinking, recording lens.Â
âAfter all, Megumi did say you were blushing like a- what was it- âmaiden in loveâ that day. How cute.âÂ
âYa donât say.â Sukuna zooms in, right on the black-haired boyâs ashen face once the saw raises high in the air to magically cut him in half. And to make things even worse, he starts pointing at his camera, mouthing through a grin, âOh yes.â At Fushiguroâs slight shake of his head. âYou are dead.â
But, alas, it was too good to be true.
And instead of having the little snitch be the casualty in one of Yujiâs magic tricks, the talent show goes shockingly smoothly. Hell, Wasuke slept through only about half of it, which was as much of a compliment as one could get.Â
All because of your efforts, surely - and when the entire thing ends with (surprise, surprise) every little brat getting awarded a winning prize, Sukuna finds himself not half-annoyed that heâd actually sat through all of it.
Well, right up until about when it was time for the exhausted preschoolers to be taken home by their families.Â
And Yuji comes bounding up to the four with a squealingââDaddaâ! Bubbaâ! Grampsâ! Mr. Mug-â
âAnother word out of you and Iâm throwing your iPad out the window.â Sukuna grumbles, heart leaping to his throat when heâs spotting your chuckling figure follow up behind his nephew, as if Jinâs elbowing wasnât a sign enough.
Yuji frowns, âAw, but I already told everyone here.â
Damn gremlin- but before he can get another word in, youâre already greeting his brother and father with a smile. âItâs so great to see you again, Mr. Itadori- I hope that blood pressure you were telling me about is better now.â
âAh, ya know- I wonât be dying any time soon.â Wasuke barks out a hoarse noise of laughter, before beadily eyeing Sukuna. âThis one, howeverâŠâ
Your gorgeous face drops in worry, and he doesnât know whether to whine at his father for letting you make that expression, or giggle because you cared about him. Fuck. âOh no- everything alright, Sukuna?â
But Wasuke answers for him, âNo. Not at all, quite the incurable disease, my dear.â
He watches on in matching confusion with Yuji as Jin lights up beside him, âAh- ah! Right right, that-â Soothing his face into something pitiful as he turns to you, âThat ah- thing that only heh- one person can solve.â
About as subtle as a sledgehammer.Â
And just as efficient in bagging the woman of oneâs dreams.
Because you only furrow your brows in confusion, âIâmâŠsorry? What?â
Sukunaâs older brotherâs smile tightens in desperation, nervously laughing. âYou- you knowâŠthat thing?â And you tilt your head, eyes darting between the four as if trying to work out the punchline. âThe thing like- the heart condition? No- not something serious but likeâŠthe butterflies?â Now looking to Sukuna for help - as if the other man wouldnât just let him rot in the very grave heâd dug for himself.Â
Then at Choso, whoâd been quietly attempting to disappear into the wall plaster. Trying not to laugh as he dotes on Yuji, âThe doki-doki.â
Jin snaps his fingers, âYes! Like the doki-doki? The-â
âOh, for fuckâs sake- he wants to fu-â
âThatâs enough for tonight, pa.â It really does run in the family - because in a split-second, Sukuna has his palm clapped over Itadori Wasukeâs mouth. Smile painfully plastic, âDid you take your meds today, dear father? I donât believe you took your meds today.â
He plunges his sprightly father into Jinâs arms, âSay, Jin, why donât you get dad his meds.â Making note of the way that you - still thoroughly confused, and now thoroughly off your shift helping each student get to their guardian - were toyinâ with the cute decorations of your car keys.Â
Letting his mouth work before his brain could regret anything- âAnd why donât I walk you to your car, ma?â
âI- what.â Youâre somewhat shocked at being addressed so directly, and at the kindly incline of Sukunaâs head. âDonât you have a heart condition? I wouldnât want to exert you, Sukuna.â
Wasuke grunts, âExert him in another- mmpf-â Hastily shushed by Chosoâs palm, more for his sanityâs sake than his uncleâs.
These damn- he narrows a glare down at an unabashedly-eavesdropping Jin and Wasuke. âNo. No, donât worry about it, they were just joking. Ha. Ha.âÂ
WellâŠit was quite dark outside the building, even with the surrounding streetlights. And your vehicle might just be a little ways away but it never hurt to be extra safe, did it? Especially when his stature was so intimidating anyways?
And so, you nod.Â
And he walks with you.
More like floats beside you on cloud nine, actually. Sukunaâs sure you two made quite a sight in the corridor, if the way passing parents whispered to each other signalled anything - him, with his ears flared red, unable to even look at you directly as you two were alone. You, as perfect as ever.
âAh- so-â
âWhat did you-â
Youâre both speaking at the same time once youâre out of the school building, laughing into the nearly-empty night air that forms clouds out of your puffs of laughter. The few minutes of a walk to the parking lot seemed like eternity - and Sukuna would have gladly let it be.Â
âYou speak.â Youâre urging.
âNo you.â
âYou-â
âI refuse.â
âFine.â Rolling your eyes, you never noticed the way he always seemed to nudge his head ever-so-closely to you whenever you spoke. As if he was hanging onto your every word. âWhat did you think about the talent show?â
âBrilliant. All because of you, of course- got so much blackmail to use in ten years.â He cackles.
Though, thatâs stopped short very soon the nanosecond youâre nudging him playfully. Heat touching heat. And he shivers, âHit me if this is strange.â Letting the tense air clog his throat, at least, thatâs his excuse for it. âBut do you remember that thing I meant to ask you that one time at the playgroundâŠâ
âYesâ?â
âAre you-â Sukunaâs husky baritone cracks and he twists his face into a wince, âD-do you happen to be seeing anyone?â
You blink, and thereâs something about the way you look at him that makes him feel like youâre holding back such a smile. How he wished to see it right now. Musing into the silent night air, only thrumming with your footsteps towards the car, âNope.â
âO-oh.â And if this was any other time, then heâd be embarrassed about how obviously relieved he sounds. How you surely must have picked up on it.
Faking nonchalance, heâs stuffing his hand into the baggy cloth of his ripped jeans, âCool.â And it was a damn good thing you didnât have x-ray vision like all the heroes in all those weekend cartoons Yuji watched - because then youâd have seen the way his painted nails dig in so deeply into his palms in pure excitement. Nearly hard enough to draw blood. âVery cool.â
âVery cool.â Youâre echoing, now stood by the driverâs seat of your car - just waiting for him to say something. Anything.Â
Waiting as he opens his mouth- âWhatâs your ty-â
âYuji- Yuji noooo- donât interrupt your uncleâs k-drama moment- oh, dammit.â Itadori Jin, whoâd been chasing after an adventure-hungry Yuji, balks at the way you were both so close. Snatching up his struggling toddler, âForget about me! We- we never here- go back to doing whatever you were doing!â
And somehow, you lurch apart as if youâd just been shocked. Only now realizing just how warm the temperature of his proximity was, fighting to keep your professional façade in front of your spying audience.Â
âI bid you goodnight, Jin- Yuji.â Gesturing out a wave, youâre getting into your ride so quickly that Sukuna thinks he mustâve been dreaming you up. âAnd you, Sukuna.â
Nevermind- not a dream.Â
Definitely not a dream. Because even in his sweetest hallucinations he wouldnât have been able to make you say his name like that. Almost a purr. Almost batting your lashes.
Almost ripping out his heart from his very chest as you then speed down the road.
âThatâs the best ya couldâve done, sonny? Even after I taught you everything to know about wooing a woman?â How very much like Wasuke to manifest from nearly thin air, from somewhere out of the shadows of the building.Â
âNot that.âÂ
âEspecially that.â
The older man only waves off Jinâs bemoaning concern about âruining the moment- they had a doki-doki moment!â âChosoâs in the car, canât believe I lost a bet to a middle-schooler. Dammit.â
Sukunaâs eyes widen, âYouâŠbet on me?â
âWhaddaya think, sonny?âÂ
Jin smiles, âGuilty.â
âGwuilty!âÂ
âNo- no, Yuji, not guilty.â
Wasuke paces away, shaking his head. âThought I raised you better- keh! Thought Iâd get grandchildren from you, too. Tch, now I owe a middle-schooler fifty yen, oh, woe is me.â
It takes a second for Sukuna to register the words, âWait- only fifty yen?â
âYeah, thatâs just about my belief in you, kid.â
.
.
.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!Â
âOi- oi, Jin. Go get the door.â
âIâm cooking dinnerâ! Cho, could you get the door?â
âIâm in the middle of homework- ask uncle.â
Sukuna grumbles, why the hell was he the one to always answer that damn door? Honestly, Yuji could buck up and get some experience yelling at sleazy salesmen sometimes. Sprawled out across the TV room couch, he stares at his nephew playing with a toy bow and arrows set on the floor, âYuji, could you get the-â
âI can hear you, Ryo.â
Dammit- there was a reason why Itadori Jin was the older brother.Â
And there was also a reason why Ryomen Sukuna had a reputation in this quaint neighborhood for being a boor - not that that was much of a brag. But at least it explained why he was stomping up to the oak front door, damn near ripping it off its hinges with a growl- âWeâre not buying any- oh.â
âOhâ was right.
Because standing right there on his porch was a damn sight for sore eyes - you.Â
You, with your mouth parted and your brows slightly raised as you looked from the messy bangs of his locks to the oversized sweater he was wearing. You, who doesnât even flinch about the fact that heâd just answered the door yelling. You, donned in a pretty lilâ skirt that makes him gulp-Â
âYou okay, Sukuna?â
âNo. So how are you doinâ on this fine day, ma? â
âOh!â A happy call of your name makes you turn - even though Sukuna just stares, shell-shocked. Jin shoves him bodily out of the way, opening the door wider, âPlease- come in, weâve been expecting you.â
Looking down at the slight stain of something at the hem of his sweatpants, the other man frowns. Itâs not like that was news heâd ever forget - so why the hell was he looking like that? âWe have?â
âYes?â Jinâs showing you the way in- only for you to be dragged in by an overeager Yuji anyways. And as the two of you disappear down the halls, heâs turning to his taller brother in genuine confusion. âDid Cho not tell you that we were having Yujiâs teacher over for dinner tonight?â
At Sukunaâs sputtering, Jin wastes no time grasping a nearby broomstick and thumping the wooden end up against the ceiling. âKamo Chosoâ!â
And out comes a muffled reply, âI told grandpa to tell him!â
âHaaah? I told Yuji to.â
It sinks in. The fact that you were here, all prettily dolled-up and at their family home - and youâd happened to see him in nothing but a stained, ratty sweatshirt and pants torn down the side of his thigh to show off one tattoo.Â
Jin grimaces, âUmâŠwe can still wingman our way through this?â
âIâm gonna kill you.â
Murder does not, in fact, come before dinner; as all good manners dictate. And Sukuna decides that revenge can wait after heâs totally, completely, utterly made you swoon.
âS-so-â Only after a quick change into his best tightly-fitted turtleneck and his silver chains did he dare to show his face âround you again. Spritzing enough cologne to almost overpower Jinâs omurice, he tries to smize from where he was sitting right opposite you on the kotatsu. âNice place, huh?âÂ
The shot of extra, extra strong sake that Wasuke slides over is a consolation as much as a âyouâre not in a restaurant, you fool!â He finishes the cup in one go.
âYou do have a very beautiful home.â Youâre nodding over at a proud Jin.Â
âAnd the- food- how is the food?â Another cup- what moral support, father.Â
âMmm- amazing, I usually never have the time to cook much for myself with the kids nâ all.â
Which Jin takes as the cue for him to butt in on the conversation, helping it flow as smoothly as an enclosing dam would to a river. âYou like kids, huh?â Kicking Sukuna underneath the kotatsu, he rattles the plates. âOur Ryo here alsoâŠtolerates children.â
âWhy I love kids, yeah.â Sukuna tuts as he lifts his hand to pat the crown of Chosoâs head- who only swerves out of the way, food finished nâ leaving the room to join his brother playing. Hiccuping, you were so pretty sat in front of him like this- too pretty, that the vision of you was starting to get blurry.Â
And another cup.
Heâs jostled by the tap of Jinâs hand on his arms- âAnd heâs actually quite sweet in his own way once you get to know him. Iâm sure dad agrees-â Ignoring Wasukeâs âI donâtâ. â-that heâd make such a responsible-â
âU-unless you donât like kids.â Still stuck on that - still. Sukuna downs it and then shakily pours himself another. âIn that case, I donât like kids either. Yeah, canât stand them.â
And another.Â
Jin and Wasuke share a glance between themselves when the hulking man leans over the kotatsu towards you with what sounded suspiciously like a whine. âWould you want kids with me?â
And-Â
âSukuna-â
âW-wellâtime for Ryo to be put to bed, I think.â Jin hastily stands up, struggling to hoist his oversized younger brother from his seat. Failing, evidently, as in that time heâs managing to gulp down another two or three sake cups. âDad- a little- help?â
Wasuke only shakes his head gravely at you, âYou should know he was switched at birth.â
âWeâre nearly identical twinsââ
âTwins? What-â Sukuna babbles, âDoes she want twins?â
Glassy eyes blinking nâ squinting furiously down at you as if trying to figure out whether you were real. Before ultimately giving up, it seems.
Because heâs stumbling a few unsteady steps forwards, pulled by Jin, before dropping to his knees and toppling his head over your lap, just by the gap of the kotatsu edge and your stomach. Heâs nuzzling his face right against your tummy, âMmmâ maybe triplets. Would be the cutest fuckinâ things if they looked anything like hck! her.â
You giggle and he gasps- as if the epiphany had just struck him. âQuadruplets?â
Starinâ down at him, at the rosy blush painting his ears, youâre muttering. âYou wish.â
âDammit- even this hck! illusion of her is fine as fuck. Shit. I wonder if her type isâŠâÂ
Trailing off, he looks to his older brother for assistance- who helpfully supplies, âSad and drunk?â
Wasukeâs contribution- âZero game- as the kids say?â
âDangerous?â You pretend to think, assessing over the mountainous heap of a man. âActually- only pretends to be but is really a softie inside?â
âYes! That- wonder if he type is dangerousâŠpretend dangerous. Iâd give her all the kids sheâd ever want- all bigâŠnâ glowingâŠâ It was almost like the setting of the sun, and just as quietly that Sukunaâs dipping past the edge of consciousness. âAndâŠmineâŠif she wants. Oh, only if she wants- Iâve gotta- hck!â He turns up slightly to you, â-gotta woo her first, you see? Gotta date herâŠmarryâŠbut- but most of allâŠâ Words slowing, heartbeat still racing whenever he looked at you. âIâŠjust want to love you, pretty girl.â
And with that, he was out like a flickered light.Â
With only Wasuke, Jin, and Choso with his camera snooping through the doorway as witnesses for when youâre snaking a hand down to the phone bulging in Sukunaâs pocket. Quickly entering a few coordinates and a date.Â
And a heart emoji.
.
.
.
âOh- oh, shit, mama.â Sukunaâs tongue lays over the sheeny insides of your thighs, throat muddled with groans and the cloying taste of your slick gluing to his rovering mouth.
Honestly, fuck whatever tips his family had made him memorize before coming over for his lilâ âtalkâ at your cozy apartment, as promised. Because the two of you had barely made out two or three words before Sukuna found himself sprawled on his back on your bed.Â
Your knees framing his face, your clothed cunt right near his mouth.
Right near where heâs dotting your skin with hot, open-mouthed kisses that make your entire body tremble. Whimpering over your shoulder, âD-didnât think youâd be such a tease, Kuna.â
âBecause this isnât real.â Heâs breathing out, as if heâs just so sure of that fact. As if he can glide his ringed index down the dampened slit of your folds and drool- because this feels like a dream nâ he was going to savor every moment. âFuck, thereâs no way this is-â
And just at that very moment, heâs craning his head up further between your pretty, pretty legs. Greedy tastebuds darted out just so he can catch the treacly splat! of your leaking slit.
Dampening his tongue nâ drooling all down the edge of his tattooed chin, âDo you even know how many times Iâve imagined this exact moment?â
âMmm- no-â Youâre wrenching out a heady puff of air- spread on your front in the meanest sixty-nine. You gulp down your parched throat as youâre taking in the wet, bulging outline of Sukunaâs erection through his boxers. âBut I can guess.â
He was just so big, aching-Â
Ryomen Sukuna wasnât just rock-hard. He was hard enough that heâs sure his round, bawling tip was damn near ready to fall off, twitching oh-so-painfully in his pants as heâs snapping back your soaked panties with a wet thwack!
Just a glimpse of the wet haven you were hiding and heâs groaning throatily, âGuess-â He hisses, close enough that the straight end of his nose slides down your puffy pussylips. Nudging your panties to the side and sniiiiiffing you, âYouâll never be able to guess how badly I want you, pretty girl.â
Never.
Never would you have even been able to register that within mere split-seconds, heâd have one beefy arm looping around your hips to make you sit on top of his mouth.
Slamming the edge of your cunt against his chin, plopping your full weight down until heâs nose-deep between your quivering legs. âFuck-â Letting the first gush of your saccharine juices flood his throat, lips against lips. âFuck fuck fuck- what was I evenâŠsaying?â
âW-waitââ Your breath hitches, spine arching into such a perfect curvature. You claw onto his meaty thighs in an attempt to regain balance, âYou wonât be able to breathe like this, Sukuna-â
âYou think I fucking care?â
Itâs spat - spat - out right against the swollen nub of your clit. Hazed crimson irises rolling to the veeeery deep, dark depths of his skull at the first long gliiiide of Sukunaâs tongue from top to bottom of your pussy.Â
Cheeks hollowed the very moment heâs pushinâ himself even closer, âYou think I ngh- can care about anything else?â The very moment heâs tugging you back down - with the full force of his upper strength, hard enough that your heated aches with raw, primal bruises. âBe a good girl nâ put that hah- pussy on my face. Fucking- sit-â
âI donât- fuuuuckââ Fingers twitching, itâs all you can do to fumble with the drawstrings of his wettened boxers.Â
Thighs shaking at every flicker of his slimy tongue swirlinâ and stirrinâ every inch of your outer pussy. Your head muddles with the realization that Sukunaâs tongue was just so long that he could lap at your glisten hole nâ still have enough length left over to snag on your clit. âYouâre not going to be the only hah- one-â
Whimpering, you find your eyes blurring up each time the ridged texture of his tastebuds glissade between your folds. Curlinâ in just past the elastic circle of your entrance-
And youâre gasping - but you donât know whether itâs because of the lecherous intrusion or because of the way youâre pushing down Sukunaâs snug underwear to free his massive cock.
Reddened, swollen.
Heâs bulging all solid and girthy that it makes your hole clench âround his flexible tongue. The cutest ruby-red at the top of his shaft, forming a gradient all the way down to his tight, heavy balls. Mentally, youâre counting about nine- fuck, maybe even ten damn inches that hit the end of your chin as he springs up.Â
And from where youâre straddling him, you can make out what looked like a matching thick, black band of ink around his bulky hilt.Â
Letting the polished pink crown of his cockhead smear out a generous dollop of pre, youâre teasing your tongue out just enough to taste the salted caramel taste.Â
âYouâre soâŠâ Sinking him past your spit-slicked lips, his swabbing mushroom tip is just so big that your jaw aches just by looking at him. Just by fitting him inside, right until his drivelling slit- â-s-sho big, Sukuna.â
âFuck- fuck-â Heâs spitting into your cunt and you find yourself flinching, hard enough that his pearly white canines nip at your thighs and you cry out.
And heâs only holding you back - not letting you shift your restless hips even a single centimeter as heâs eating you out like a man dying of thirst. Dry tastebuds lavishing himself with wads of slick, Sukunaâs stuffing your tight hole with the entirety of his tongue. âYouâre m-making me drool.â
You swear youâre feeling the thin line of his wet spittle stain the front of your cunt, whimpering around his bulbous cockhead. âMade ya stutter, too, Sukuna.â
âOhhhh- talkinâ smart, are we?â Snickering, he lets off a loud spank against the front of your pussy - one that makes your bones reverberate, and your mind numb. Pushinâ back to ride the circling girth of his tongue, to ride him. âWhy donâtcha put that mouth into use elsewhere?â
Elsewhere - his cock was so hot and throbbing between your swollen lips. Just the slightest slip nâ slide makes it feel like heâs pulsing all the way at the back of your throat.Â
Creaminâ out a spray of syrupy precum that slides down your tongue, âSo big- too big.â And yet- it was just so cute how youâre suckling him like your favorite lolly, eyes criss-crossing when youâre trying to take more. He couldnât even bottom out. âMmmâ dunno if itâll even all fit.â
âWellâŠâÂ
The way heâs drawling out in a smoky tone makes you ponder that this wonât be ending well for you. And Sukunaâs dark chuckle hits your cunt in a murky gust, âYouâre takinâ it in from hereââ Just at that sultry second, heâs crowning the snug circle of your hole with two fingers.Â
Making you break out with a shrill waiiil as he sinks in the thick, calloused curves of his fingerpads. Letting such thick digits stretch you out fully, make your head spin. âSo shut it nâ take this looong fucking cock, ma.â
All that it takes for him to plunge a few more throbbing inches past your maw, oh-so-big that youâre drooling down the sides of your mouth already.
Striking the edge of your throat and making you choke on his sheer size, your nose wrinkles as youâre tickled by the curly tendrils of his pinkish hair. âThis enough or you want three, pretty girl-â
âI-â
Letting out such a cloying squelch that spurts from your pussy once heâs teasinâ your entrance, âNot you, mama. She wants three.â
Moaning away wildly after each pump of his fingers- Sukuna doesnât even have to try to dip into each nook nâ orifice. Slamming to fingers down to each knobbly knuckle with a resounding slam- âSee? See?âÂ
So cockdrunk on the feeling of his velvety tongue that youâre only partly registering the way his vocals are higher. Unsteady.Â
The way youâre clamping your dewy walls in a cute, squelching smooch âround his digits makes his voice fucking crack. âJ-just take it a bit- fuck- deeper.â Mindless little half-thrusts up into your heated mouth like he canât even control it- âYou can swallow it up like a reeeeal good girl, canât you?â
âMmmââ Purposefully letting off your pretty sounds all over his fleshy girth, âYes- yes yes yes- more.â
âMore?â
âMore.â
As if he wouldnât fucking ruin you if he could.Â
âYou want more?â
âY-yes- oh.â
Only to be gifted with such a rude slap of his doughy palm, âNot you.â And heâs waiting for the soppy squelches leaking out from your cunt, the way youâre talking to him from your swollen lips just to continue.Â
Squelch after squelch.
Your pleas only spur him to tug at the sweet, softened ring of your cunt, latching his lips over the flexing muscle. âIf you say soââ Crooning, you can feel the cold hiss of his metallic rings upon the insides of your thighs. Sukunaâs biceps shifting as he starts to tug them offâ
âA-actually-â Youâre popping off of the strawberry-pink curve of his cocktip with a plop! a few glittery strings of pre and spit still connecting you lewdly to it. ââŠKeep them on?â
âOh. Ohoho- you naughty lilâ thing.â Heâs swatting over the slope of your dripping wet pussy nâ giving your clit a good pinch with his ringed fingers. âYou like it like this- like- this-?â
Heâs spitting out each word into your cunt, thrusting the barrelling tips of his fingerpads to graze just below your pulsating g-spot. âAll those mouthy lectures?â In vulgar tandem strokes with the thwack! of his heavy, curvaceous balls slapping your chin. âAnd you wanna take it like- this- mama? Ohhh, it just makes me wannaâŠâ
Trailing off, Sukunaâs body is just bulky - oh-so-tall that he can bend and reach down to cup your throat with his one free hand.Â
Digging five of his fingertips into the side of your throat as heâs holding your neck and squeezing- feeling the cylindrical outline of his cock bulging your poor mouth. Up nâ down, up nâ down- heâs feeling for the precise moments his plump cockhead lodges at the back of your throat.Â
âWhoâd have known the cute lilâ teacher would be such a slut fâme. Cat got yer tongue, girl, orrrrâsâit just my dick?â Humming over your clit, heâs adding a fourth finger that swabs at the texture of your gummy walls.Â
âF-fuck off- ngh-â
âWhaâs that? Try- try and say my name?â Squeezing. Only feeling your ripped, pathetic vibrations. âCan f-feel myself over here.â
With four neatly pushing fingers.Â
Pulling back with a sluuurpâ! Slowly, just so that you whimper that the knobs of his joints, just so that he can thump right on the target of your g-spot and make you cry out in cute bliss. âSo sâonly fair that Iâm over here, pretty girl.â
âYes- yes yes yesââ Words bubble out and slur out of your maw, in unison with such sloshing spurts of saliva.Â
Youâre drooling everywhere - from both pairs of lips. Your mouth over Sukunaâs hard, vein-covered erection, glazing his puffy lines of veins with sap. And your pussy slide-slide-sliiiiding down the gaping area of his mouth, wide open and eagerly lapping up each sloppy drag of your hips.
Faster. Â
And now that Sukuna had actually found your most favorite spot, he couldnât fucking stop.
Not when each whack at that same exact spot makes you splash your sweetened slick all down his throat, not when you were clenching your walls and cryinâ out at the frigid brush of his thick rings.
Again and again, heâs probinâ his crowned fingertips to push against the insides of your pussy, âDonât think mâgonna last ngh-â
 âYeah-â And thatâs not to say his tongue was letting you off easy, either- simply aching with the feverish state of his movements. But it hurt Sukuna more any moment he wasnât snogging your glossy cunt, nâ so heâs slapping your clit with a wet one-two. Spank after spank to make your hips jerk back and forth, âWhaddaya want? To cum? Sâthat it?â
Blubbering over the taste of his slick, sensitive slit, âYes- yes, please- mâso fucking close.â
âNot. You.â Each word ended with two swats on your simmering pussy, youâre webbing his chin all down with syrupy sap.Â
Moving off from your throat with a final squeeze, a bicep tightening âround your hips to squeeze you in place. âNot you- but you, pretty girl.â Slickly gliding back and forth all over your pried-open cunt, all over the quivering rim of your hole. Everywhere and anywhere. âWhy donâtcha talk louder?â
And itâs not just you riding his tongue dry - itâs Sukuna bucking animalistically upwards, too. Pressing the ridges of his washboard abs up against your front, youâre just fountaining out so much sappy slick that itâs running down to the large mouth that he had tattooed across his stomach. As if both his ravenous mouths were gulping up each of your slick puddles.Â
Crooning at the oversaturated squelch that spills out of you- heâs nodding like heâs never heard a sweeter sentence. Nudging his knuckles to bump against your g-spot, âIf you say soââ
You donât get to find out what heâs hearing - but youâre registering the gist soon enough.
Because by then Sukuna has his ringed index swiping your g-spot, coldly massaging that bundle of nerves. Hard. Sloppy. At the very same second heâs settling the fringes of his canines on your perky clit and streeeetching-
âO-oh my god Iâmââ Keening out a whimper, your high runs you over like a rollercoaster. And youâre rocking your boneless body to and fro just as much, thumping your thighs into Sukunaâs sharp jawline.Â
âYes-â Clenching around his motions so hard that he has to fight to unstick his digits from the sides of your bubblegum walls, still fucking you through your lecherous high. âOh, hell yeah, been so good for you, mama- why donâtcha reward me? Use me- hck- use me.â
As if you werenât thrusting your cunt back into his face in a frenzy already, heâs using the arm holding onto your waist to keep you repeatedly moving.Â
Tired-out. Fingers tugging into each crevice of your velvety walls. Cheeks aching and hollow where heâs putting such force on your throbbing clit to suck- âRide my- mmmf-â Talking with his mouth full, âRide my fuckinâ face raw- wanted to taste yâcumming on my tongue for so long.â
With your spine arched, youâre pulling off of the bulged tip of his cock just as heâs spewing out a slimy ribbon of ivory white. Just a single drivel of cum- just from the way youâre cumming.Â
âGod- god fucking dammit.â Sukuna spits, right into your cunt. And he barely even takes his eyes off of your slobbering pussy to snake a free hand down and plug his geysering orifice with his thumb.
Stopping himself promptly from cumming if it isnât anywhere near your pussy.
But that didnât mean he was letting you get away.
Oh, no- heâs still pulling you back with inclines of his head like a man addicted. Thoroughly drunk on the heady globs of slick that travelled between your legs, pushing and pushing himself upwards to glue his glossed lips all over your cunt.
You can feel yourself squealing with each lap of his scratchy tongue- the primal overstimulation too much that great droplets of tears take over your eyes.Â
âO-ohâ fuck- mâso sensitive, Sukuna.â Youâre arching your back away- âI donât know if I- oh!â Only to get pulled back down. Toes curling when this only spurs him to dive himself even deeper, flopping out the flexible end of his tongue to try nâ flit past your squeezing hole.Â
Drawling, âRemember those fuckinâ sugar cookies? You taste- hah- even fucking better.â
Sniffling, your spine zings with a few more zaps of electricity as heâs starting to caress your sweetened g-spot once more.Â
And the only thing you can do is try and pathetically pry his firmly-planted palm from his lengthy shaft, trying for the life of you to just get another taste-
âOh. Oh.â Sukuna gasps from behind, pink brows raising. âI see what youâre doing, pretty girl. H-hehâŠhungry for more, are you?â
He didnât need any further answer - because the way youâre cutely clenching to glaze his scouring digits tells him more than enough.
And before you know it, youâre finding yourself pulled off of his long, aching cock like some glorified ragdoll. Sukuna was just so large - in every sense of the word - that he could manhandle you with only one arm.Â
Clinging onto the side of your waist as heâs sitting up, he makes you straddle the twitchy length of his cock. And now that you were seated upon his lap- oh, could you admire him.
Ryomen Sukuna was a fucking masterpiece.Â
From the bands of tattoos circling his biceps, his wrists, straight down to the plush of his sculptured thighs. âLike what you see?â He tilts his head cockily down at you, slouching sexily back on your wooden headboard to let you take in all of his tensed core.Â
Glistening pecs all temptingly large, abs ripped.Â
âMâgonna get those pretty haaah- fucking initials of yours tatted.â Heâs tapping the prominent side of his left v-line with a polished finger, âRight here.â
Climbing further upon his lap, you rest your ass cheeks back against his swaying cock, bobbing so hard nâ proud between your sheeny thighs. Pouting, âOnly if you fuck me, Kunaâ ngh-â
âKuna? Tch- you see that lilâ tattoo here, mama?â He sounded as if he was shattering, and heâs leaning back so that you can take a goood, long look at the circular tattoo on his base. Nuzzled by the tufts of his pinkish happy trail, and his tender underside - but it was still there.
Like a target. And Sukunaâs thinking the exact same thing, âYouâre gonna take it riiiight- till- here-â Lodging the swollen end of his shaft to plug your hole, itâs such a tiiight fit as he starts bullying inside. âUntil- hah-â Feeling a hand down your tummy, your womb. â-here.â
He was going to fit himself until your pretty pussy wonât be able to forget him.
And it takes only seconds for you to be clawing onto his tattooed deltoids for dear life, feeling the inner parts of your thighs slip nâ slide down his own with perspiration. You scramble with the stringy, slightly-torn fabric of your panties still on- âKuna- SuâKuna, this-â
âNah, let it stay.â Snickering, he claws onto the top of your scalp. âYou have muchâŠheh- bigger ngh- problems ta worry about, pretty girl.â
Bigger - his prolonged shaft was simply ravaging your walls. Plumply ballooned-up enough that his veiny layer rubs your sweetest spots without even meaning to, and youâre just seeing stars with every inch deeper his mazing cock spears through. âFuck- fuck, it really is big-â
âMhmâ and youâre going- to take- it all.â Times like this heâs wishing he had just about four fucking hands. Because oneâs pushing down, down, down on the lolling top of your head, the otherâs pushinâ your trembling thighs apart just so you could straddle his meaty hips. âAll hah- say my name. Say my name while you take it-â
And he always did love the way you said his name.
The way youâre letting free a few bubbly spurts of saliva as youâre babbling awayââSukuna- Su-â Throat clogging up with so many sobs of utter bliss, âKunaââ
âAgain with the âKunaâ- sânot my name, silly girl.â Even though each sound of that slurring nickname makes him twitch against your deepest insides.Â
But you canât even hear him properly, eardrums distantly popped until the only thing you can feel is the thump! of your heartbeat between your legs. And the way that his reddened, slick-glazed tip was thrashing your tight insides, âKuna- ngh, please, Kuna. Wanâ it a-all hck! Inside.â
The swabbing girth of his cock was so fat that he has you stupid with just his size, biceps bulging as heâs pressurizing down on your head. âGod-â And you can only blink pathetically once heâs bringing up his free hand to your blurry line of sight. Hissing, âBite down-â Lips smirking as you plant a kittenish bite, he fucks up into you once to make your force increase. âBite down harder and take it.â
He wasnât wasting any time - he didnât have the fucking patience.
He barely even had the sanity to tease you and edge you for hours on end like heâd always wanted to. Instead fucking up into you like a damn animal- heâs swatting your cunt with the edge of his throbbing cock. Spitting through clenched teeth, âO-oh, if yer gonna ask for all of it then mânot playinâ around, ma.â
You sink your teeth in and nearly scream into the flesh of his forearm, gnawing down right at his tattoo. âMmmpf- big- nghhââ Unable to fucking take it, the only thing you can do is arch your hips deeper and let his pummeling rams spike your poor insides.
Hitting the very back of your cervix with a wet thwack! that makes your eyes damn near bulge out of your head.
HeâŠbottomed-out.Â
âLemme check nowâŠâ Taking a single peek at the way his hilt was all covered up by your bloated folds until he couldnât see that tattoo anymore. âSâall in.â
And the towering man wasnât celebrating once he did - he was pumping all his fleshy inches into you like heâd gone feral.Â
Eyes dazed and hooded, mouth frothing with a line of silver drool - Sukuna grunts after each singular gliiiide of his watery orifice drawing down the bottom of your pussy. Sloppy. âF-fucking hell, never felt like this- what theâŠâ
âAre you okay- oh god nghhââ
âMâfuckinâ more than okay.â Spitting out crassly, Sukuna swerves his hips off of the rickety bedsprings to drag his cock harder down your cunt. And it just felt so delicious to have his swollen veins stir up your walls, âSâjustâ who let you feel this good?â
Your honeyed cunt has made him way too pussydrunk that now heâs tattling out everything from his melty mind. And you can only whineâ âHeh-â One hand grazing his scorched ear, âYouâre blushing, Kuna- better not be ngh- tapping out on me.â
âTapping out?â Punctuated by a hard spank against the door to your womb - exactly where he said he would be - and then a harder one against your mapped-out g-spot. âMe? Me tappinâ out?â
Blinking through the splotchy whites sparking in your vision, âY-yeah- fuck!â
SPANK!
Oh-so-hard, heâs swatting your pussy with enough stinging force that it makes glittering drops of slick splash across his slamming palm. âYou nâ this smartass pussy are gonna see.â Heâs gritting through dangerously grinning teeth, âThereâs a fuckinâ reason Iâm Ryomen fucking Sukuna.â
Because heâs rude - and he fucks even ruder.
Pounding away upwards into you like he doesnât care if heâs bruising great purple bruises at the bottom of your cervix. The mattress creaks in fervent protest after each gyration of his hips, âP-please-â The only thing youâre mewling out like a broken record, âI-it just feels soâŠâ
Trailing off, your movements are sluggish as your hand starts to slither down between your rutting legs. Yearning to just touch your neglected clit-
SPANK!
âOi- and whoâd ya think you are to touch- hngh- my pretty girl?â Heâs grinning, manhandling you in an instant. Before your candied brain can catch up, Sukuna has both your arms pinned behind your back, chin hitting his cushy pecs. âIâll touch her when I feel like it-â
Such a fucking tease, at the constant timing of his slimy mushroom tip spearing your cunt like a headlight- Sukuna lifts off one of his hands downwards.
Replacing your own with his roughened fingers, he pinches your poor clitââSh-shit mâso sensitive there- keep going, Kunaââ
And at this point you werenât just drooling you were sheening the entirety of his smooth pectorals with a shiny polish. Letting it smear down the side of your cheek as you drunkenly lean on them like pillows, âChehhh-â Heâs spitting out, staring down at the glistening glaze dripping down to his bumpy abs. âThaâs supposed to stay inside, pretty girl.âÂ
âI-inside?â Dazedly, the only thing you can think of were your rummaging insides, the way that Sukuna was fucking you like he hated you.
But it was the complete opposite. And heâs dragginâ on your clit, giggling to himself like heâs in love as he watches you huff nâ puff. âGod you love it like this- câmon, ngh- teach, milk this fucking cock- why donât ya?â
âI-I am-â
SPANK!Â
âHarder, mama, make me feel it.â
With a right spank to emphasize his sentence, heâs jostling his hips upwards so youâre left throwing your head back at the full, stretching impact. Unable to even handle the slightly spring recoil that comes with striking your cervix, heâs bouncing you on his pelvis.Â
âSâthis what you thought about every- hah- time you saw me?â Taking hold of your neck for a brief moment, heâs spitting doooown your throat. âWantinâ me to fuck this- ngh- pussy raw?â
And the locked restraint on your neck helps bend you into the perfect geometrical curvature to stare up at him as he collapses forwards. Hot breath wafting your features, you whimper- âY-yes.â
âNot you.â
âKuna.â
âIâve been dreaminâ of this for aaages now-â His clammy forehead crinkles as heâs scratching down your clit with the rough texture of his happy trail. Leaving it all stinging nâ raw to make sure the impact is extra sensual as Sukuna rubs over a slooow âKâ right on top.Â
Rutting into your poor cunt so hard that the skin surrounding his v-line was all reddened- and he canât help but take one look and moan. âMâgetting that tattooed.â Watching as his mean, curvaceous cock molded your walls constantly to him. âOh- trust when I say-â
And then a âUâ
âFuh-fuuuuck, please-â It almost feels like youâre begging for your damn life by now, lungs ripping with moans every time heâs thumping up. You ride your hips in a sexy figure-eight and feel the way Sukunaâs thumb trembles on your clit.Â
A wobbly âNâ
And you already knew what was headed next- oh, you were already prepared.Â
But what you werenât ready for was the completely vicious way that heâs accelerating his papping hips, so fast that the dark tattoo nuzzling your entrance was almost a blur. Thump after thump-Â
Youâre falling over until that symbolic inking of a widely-opened maw on his stomach licks up your core. Body twitching with white hot flashes of something electric running through your veins, âF-fuck- fuck, sânot gonna last-â
âSâthat sooooâ?â Sukuna asks down at your pussy to confirm, and only after a few âuh-huhââs does he bore into your stupidly heart-shaped eyes. Tongue lolling straight out for him to lap up into his own mouth, âShe says youâre close-â
A firm âAâ
Another SPANK!
â-and I say youâre cumming already.â
âWh-whatâŠâ
Heâs ending off with a perfect heart shape rolled over your clit. Whatâs that spell- heâs asking mentally.Â
Only for you to mewl wantonly as if youâd just heard. âKuna- Sukuna- Yes- yes mâcumming mâcummingââÂ
Itâs like youâre enveloped in a tidal wave - you didnât know where your orgasm started and where it ended. Just that Sukunaâs moans break into something octaves higher as he fucks you through your bliss.
You claw down the expanse of his flexing back with each burst of pre splattering your gooey insides. Toes curled, eyes all teary. âI-itâs so- hck! Feels too goodâŠâ
Turning you into absolute mush every time he pumps his thorough inches into you- and the mean fingers on your nub just tug nâ tug.
And itâs only after a few more of your shrilling whines that youâre still feeling the hot entrance of his shaft plummeting through, your walls squeezing âround his flared tip. âI want you to cum, too, Sukuna.â
âF-fuck.â He lets out, softly.
Cupping his attractive face, if you thought you were gone then you werenât ready for the way that Sukuna looked. Cheeks burning hot and red, mouth parted with overspilling drool, brows furrowed into such an expression that it almost makes you feel shy.
Repeating those very same words, you start sloppily swervinâ your hips straight to his. âCum inside m- ngh, please?â
All this time and his cute lilâ teacher was still minding her pâs and qâs.Â
So, of course, when youâre asking him that nicely- itâs the least he could do to listen. To let out a final, vulgar stroke that has him spilling over the edge.
In great, piling heaps of ivory cum that puddles at the bottom of your pussy. Thereâs so much of it that your ears ring with the lecherous sluuurpâ! as your cunt walls suck up every last steaming drop.Â
You can feel it trailing down the insides of your thighs like a waterfall and keen, âJust like that, f-fuckâŠâ Almost like youâre hypnotized, you drag one of his much-larger hands to palm the outside of your tummy. âCan feel it all the way here.â
âO-oh my godâŠâ Heâs groaning, eyes drifting off to the back of his head as soon as youâre meeting his tempo. Slamming down to rob his aching balls, milking him all dry - you were overspilling and it still wasnât enough. âYâreally are a dream.âÂ
And thereâs something about the way heâs sluggishly brushing away a stray bead of perspiration from your temple. Something about that lazy, half-lidded look in his eyes, the complete nâ utter reverence in his tone as he asks- âSoâŠsâyour type âdangerousâ, mama?â
AlmostâŠshy.
Oh, it hits you. Heâs pussydrunk.
Youâd made big, bad Ryomen Sukuna completely and utterly pussydrunk.
To the point where his studded ears flare a deep crimson once you giggle, âMmm- pretend dangerous, Kuna.â His eyes shine. You think back to that night at the Itadori household, âAnd I also remember something about quadruplets?âÂ
Itâs then that Sukuna whimpers.Â
Not even pulling out. Not even considering such an impossible feat for even a split-second before he rolls your weakened body over.
Hovering over you now, itâs so easy for his beefy arms to tug your legs over his shoulders. Still shaking. Still suffering from the aftermath of your orgasm as heâs holding them tight and bending down, down, dooooown.
Straight into a mating press.Â
Oh, your breath catches.
âBefore I pound you until you canât haaah- walk, mama-â Uncharacteristically, Sukuna gulps as he shifts his crimson eyes away from you. â-mâI giving you quadruplets thatâll have my last name?â
Now that was a round-about way to ask someone out- and he knows it, too.Â
But it only makes you shuffle up onto your elbows on the now-ruined sheets, sticking to you like glue. You place a lingering peck on Sukunaâs wobbly, overstimulated lips, âMm- I love you, too, Kuna.â
Oh, how he loves you. He almost cums right then and there.Â
Fuck.
He does.Â
.
.
.
âYou.â
âYou.â Yuji narrows his eyes down at the sight of Ryomen Sukuna towering over the busy preschool pick-up. Trying to look over his broad shoulders for any sign of his father, âHuh? But dadda said he was coming to pick me up today?â
Sukuna gingerly scratches the back of his head, âYeah, wellâŠlisten, twerp- I mean, kid. Thereâs something I need to-â
Only to be cut off by a dramatic gaspââOh no- Did dadda go to jail just like you-â
âNo,â
âDid he drive fast-â
âNo.â
âDid he drink-â
âNo-â
âDid he slash tires-â
âMaybe once?â
And fuck- he really didnât understand tiny children, because explain to him why the pink-haired boy starts bawling in his arms. Pitiful enough to draw the glares of parents wrenching their own children away from the perpetrator, loud enough to draw the sweet concern of you.
Walking from your station saying goodbye to one other student, âYuji what- oh!â Youâre pressing your lips together to contain your smile as you happen to see who was throwing Yuji on his shoulders to soothe him. Bouncing him lightly until he smiled- and you did, too. âI didnât expect you so early today, Kuna.â
âYeah, well.â Heâs using Yujiâs palms to cover the pinkish ends of his blushing ears, âDecided I wanted to see ya off from work today.â
Now past grief and straight into utter nosiness- âWait- what do you mean âsee offâ.â He gasps, âIs she going to ja-â
âBrat-â
âWhat your uncle means to say, Yuji-â Playfully pinching his chubby cheeks, you try to ignore the gawking stares of every other one of your remaining students as you promptly turn to face Sukuna. Giving him a sweet, sweet peck on his. â-is that youâll be seeing a lot more of me around.â
Another gasp - well, multiple.
One from Itadori Yuji, who gapes, open-mouthed between you and his uncle - as if wondering how he ever managed to bag you, and wait does that mean youâre his auntie now?
About twenty from your crowd of students, right along with a few whispers.Â
âHey, isnât that weird Mr. Mugshot?â
âSo thatâs why Mr. Mugshot was always red- eugh! In my mommaâs dramas they donât get together, they just die.â
Fushiguro frowns, âI would rather die than watch him like this. Gross.â
âCaviar.â
Walking up from the group, Fushiguro tugs on your skirt. Innocently - but Sukuna could feel the evil intent. He just knew that boy was a villain. âInumaki asks whether you mind that he sets fires, miss.â
What the fuck is with the fires-
And then finally - three distinct, unfortunately familiar gasps that make Sukuna dread turning around. Struggling against it, even as his nephew tugs on his locks of pink hair with a delighted squeal- âDaddaâ! Bubbaâ! Gramps-â
You smile, watching Choso take flustered pictures of his uncle. âHow the hell did you even win her over? All of these are going in the blackmail folder. Maybe your wedding presentation too.â
Sukuna bites back a shy blush- turning it into a scowl, âMaybeâŠâ
âWell, Iâll be.â Wasuke nods his head in approval, âAll thanks to the ah- âwingmanningâ as the kids say. Iâll be expecting at least three grandchildren in the future, sonny. And when I say âfutureâ I mean in nine months-â
âDad! Itâs too early for that.â Jin, ever-the-voice-of-reason, gives you a breezy handshake. âCongratulations- by the way.â And itâs all soft. Itâs all sweet- that is, until youâre trying to pull your hand back and he only tightens his grip. Smile still tightly in place, âI will be the kidsâ godfather, by the way.â
Settling an arm around you now, You and Sukuna donât know whether to laugh or stand in shocked silence as Jin finally sets you free - but you donât have to make the choice.
Because the annoying, grating voice of Todo Aoi breaks throughââNooooooâ my bride!âÂ
Synopsis. Choso Kamo: Itadori Yujiâs older brother, drummer to the Löded Diper, that touch-starved punk-rocker thatâs been absolutely obsessed with you. You: nothing less than queen bee on campus, leader of The Plastics, about to show that loser that he totally canât sIeep sit with you! âŠMaybe.
âShe just looked at you and giggled? She just whispered about it to her friends and now theyâre all staring? Sheâs walking away without even looking back?â
âI know- sheâs more than amazing.â
Yuji looks at his older brother. Then he looks at you. He looks at his older brother. Then he looks at you- and the next time heâs setting his sights on the dark-haired man, Yuji sort of feels like slamming his face into his bowl of mushy peas.
He squints at your disappearing back, âRightâŠâ If this is what the college experience was about then put this college at the bottom of his safety schools.
But listen! Itâs not like heâd ever speak bad about his big brother - this was his cool, calm, collected brother after all (at least he was supposed to be). And so Yujiâs pushing the bulk of his skepticism aside, and turning back to Choso.
âSo when are you gonna ask her out, bubba?â
âA-ask her outâ?!â
Choso Kamoâs voice cracks on the mere words, at the mere notionâand Yuji can only ogle him in utter bewilderment. OhâŠmy godâŠ?
Alright so not calm or cool or collected.
Fuck, he was so far gone that it almost looked painful.
Heâs never seen his big brotherâs eyes shine like that before - whether in excitement (at the delusion) or in panic (at the reality) he couldnât quite tell. Heâs never seen his big brotherâs face burst into a blush so strong that it makes him wince. Heâs never seen his big brother turn his toned frame away and start muttering - more to himself than anything.
âWhy would you even suggest that? Why would you want me to- hehehâŠask her out? Why did you know thatâs been my biggest dream since freshman year? Why did you think that I could ever possibly manage to-â And then heâs gasping in realization.
And in a split-second - so fast that the poor pink-haired boy could never have seen it coming - Chosoâs whirling around to grab him from either side of his shoulders. âUnless- unless you saw something between us that I didnât!â He exclaims, shaking Yuji with every word. âUnless you believe that I actually have a chance and you want me to go for it before itâs too late?!â
Yujiâs jaw drops, âI uhâŠhuh?â
âBut of course!â Choso was on a roll now, jostling the boy back and forth even harder. âIn dadâs nighttime k-dramas the two romantic leads never really know when they like each otherâbut of course!â People in the cafeteria were starting to stare now. âIâm the male lead and you saw something in her eyes that made you want me to confess! Before either I get hit by a truck and get amnesia or she gets married off to some faraway 6â7 CEO-â
âCEO? What the f-â
âSo what was it you saw?â Abruptly stopping his shaking now, Choso leans in with widened eyes. He probes at his younger brother with eager questions, âWhat was it you saw in her eyes? Hidden longing? Desire? Betrayal? Lu-â
âM-maybe?â God, he was feeling dizzy now and those peas werenât helpingâŠâWebsterâs Dictionary did say that betrayal could be a synonym for disgust. I think.â
To which Choso pauses - still with that same insanely hopeful expression stiff on his face. And Yuji thinks that he might justâve have broken him when-
âOh, itâs no useââ He almost thinks he prefers the ramblings of a madman, rather than the dramatic way that Chosoâs throwing himself over his space on the cafeteria table. Head in his hands. Shoulders shaking with a sigh.
The metal trays theyâd been provided with rattle ever-so-slightly at his ministrations, and Yuji has to be the one to nudge them to the side. Mouthing out apologies to the students around them that throw them dirty looksâhonestly, this was supposed to be his tour of his older brotherâs college campus before he attended. He was supposed to be the one being taken care of during this pivotal time of his life.
Which (to Chosoâs credit) had been what ended up happening for most of the day: through all those labs and lecture halls and facilities heâd been led to by him, through all those professors that Choso made him speak about his future major with, through most of lunch where his brother kept on insisting that he take more untilâŠyou came along.
Almost as if thinking of the very same thing (you), Chosoâs sniffling even louder. And Yujiâs gingerly patting at the AC/DC t-shirt on his back, âThere thereâŠitâll be alright, bubba. Wait- if youâre the male lead then who am I?â
Choso sputters out, âI donât know? Homosexual supporting cast? I donât know anything-â Pathetically bemoaning, âI canât even do anything-â
Yuji insists gingerly, âIâm sure if you just asked her-â
âNo you donât get it, Yuji.â He finally raises his head from his hands, silver lip ring twinklinâ in the light. His older brother brings a ringed hand up to twist at it - in just the way he did whenever he got nervous about something. âSheâs part of The Plastics- the leader, actually. And those other two? Utahime and Shoko.â
It seems that you and your duo of friends had been stopped by a few more of your acquaintances just outside the cafeteria. And as you laughed and talked amongst yourselves, Yuji and Choso leaned over in their seats to catch more glimpses of you.
He points subtly at the brown-haired girl with eyebags and aâŠscalpel close by you. âIeri Shokoâs one of the smartest girls you will ever meet. Eso sat next to her in Anatomy 101 last semester, and he said she cheated so well that the professor changed their marking scheme.â Then as Choso moves the tip of his digit, so do Yujiâs eyes onto another girl with a scar across her face and an arm thrown over your shoulder. âThat one with the traditional dress? Thatâs Iori Utahime, sheâs totally rich because her dad invented the Toaster Strudel. Utahime knows everybodyâs business, everything about everyone- thatâs why her hair is so bigâŠitâs full of secrets.â
Yuji stifles a giggle, âAnd ah- the one youâre obsessed with?â
âShhhh- not so loud!â As if he hadnât just been causing a scene earlier. Choso just has to take one look at you before heâs repeating your name in the most dreamy manner, â-perfection takes human form in her.â
âPerfection?â
âDonât be fooled. Because she may seem like your typical selfless, smart, gorgeous sweetheart but in realityâŠsheâs so much more than that.â Choso sighs, âHow do I even begin to describe her?â
âI donât get it, we have popular kids in our high school too?â Yuji asks. Hell, if they were counting like that then he wasnât doing too bad socially himself.
But Chosoâs fervently shaking his head. In an instant, heâs getting up and dragging Yuji away from his mushy peas. Ignoring his whines- âCome with me.â
They all said your name.
âSheâs flawless.â
âShe has two Fendi purses and a silver Lexus.â
âI hear her hairâs insured for ten thousand dollars.â
âI hear she does car commercials in Shibuya.â
âOne time, she met Jacob Elordi on a plane. And he told her she was pretty.â
âOne time she punched me in the face. I liked it.â
And by the end of his (second) tour around campus (and his first tour around the gossip mill), Itadori Yuji couldâŠsomewhat understand where his older brother was coming from. In addition to being liked so much, you were somewhatâŠscary.
He feels himself shiver involuntarily as you pass him by, not seeing the two tall boys hidden beneath a large oak tree on campus. Watching you. Though, Shoko does- and glints her scalpel threateningly at them until they duck back behind the scraggly trunk.
âBut still-â Yuji hisses at Choso, crouched against the flares of green grass. â-I donât see why you canât at least give it one try to ask her out? I thought you werenât scared of anything, bubba.â
âAnd then thereâs that problem-â Handsome face suddenly hardening, Choso checks whether the coast is clear for Shoko and her scalpel before gesturing at his younger brother to follow. Popping their heads from the side of the oak trunk once more, heâs pointing an index at the other man youâd walked up to.Â
The tip of his finger - all chipped with black nail polish - honed in like an arrow at the silver haired man. Yuji watched as he grabbed you to his side with a guffaw, where you wrinkled your nose at the way he crinkled your blouse- but let him do as he pleased anyway. âThat two-toned, two-inch bastard- Naoya Zenin.â
âFrom the Zenin Corporations?â Yuji gawked.
âThe Zenin Corporations, and he goes âround acting like it too.â Choso grumbles, lightly thumping his fist against the tree. âHis familyâs old old money, but word is theyâre gonna be charged with embezzlement soon, heh. He started dating her at the start of freshman year- no idea how that happened, some say he bribed her with a GMC Hummer and theyâve been on and off ever since.â
âWild.â The pink-haired boy whistles- inadvertently catching the attention of you. Turning away boredly from a lecture on Naoyaâs latest business ventures to catch the two tufts of hair peaking through the oak trunk. You have to stifle a laugh as they duck out of sight with matching yelps.
âSomething amusing about wining and dining the CEO of the World Bank, honey?â Naoya leers out, and you know he doesnât mean that pet name he uses.
âNothing amusing at all, actually.â Youâre plastering a painful plastic smile, and he doesnât catch the snipe. Youâre angling your head to try and catch a glimpse âround the trunk, at those doey brown eyes that caught yours. âTell me all about your ah- glorious old money again.â
âWhy most certainly.â
Youâre rolling your eyes, and you donât catch the way that Shoko threatens her scalpel in the direction of the oak once more.
Yuji - whoâd been craning upwards to take another look - hastily sits back down on the ground with a thump. âBubba, weâve got to do something about her though. The Itadori men donât just sit around doing nothing in a time of crises-â
âDo what though?â Choso puts his face in his hands, long chestnut hair falling around his face. Obscuring his pout from view, though one could hear it. âItâs hopeless-â
âNo.â
Choso looks up in surprise.
At Yujiâs determined face, that smile. Brighter than the sun.Â
He pulls a handheld camera from Chosoâs backpack and takes a picture of them both, you in the background. Blissfully unaware. âIâve got a plan.â
.
.
.
PHASE ONE OF WIMP: Everybody needs to know.
âThere are four phases, the first is-â Yuji whispers, face pressed against the cold library shelf. Textbooks the size of his head. Names of authors that blurred into one. A wall of words that heâd shuffled aside to spy on the other side of it, â-we first have to get the word out about our WIMP.â
âWIMP?â Choso hisses back in confusion. He was standing right beside his younger brother, stooped down to look through their little crack.
A nearly-empty table.
A column of books.
A certain purple-haired girl rarely seen without leaving your side.
âYeah?â Itadori answers, âWingmanning Itadoriâs Mythical Party- or WIMP for short.â
Choso can only look at him in pure aghast.
âAnyways, going back to our WIMP-â
âYuji, stop trying to make WIMP happen. Itâs not going to happen.â
âAbout our party then.â To which the pink-haired boy waves off easily, âDonât sweat it- dad is out on some bonding trip with Uncle Kuna and grandpa, so they wonât be back until tomorrow so we have the house alllll to ourselves.â
It was true that their home actually sat on the outskirts of campus, right alongside the other dorms and residential buildings for the students. It was actually one of the reasons that Choso had chosen this particular university in the first place, because of its proximity (and it led him to you so, good thinking on his part, hm?) And so he still resided there with his family, but as for throwing a partyâŠâYuji, parties really arenât a big deal in college. I donât know if itâs even a good-â
âDo you wanna do this or not?â He pulls away to give Choso a deadpan look, the sharp edges of the books embedding vertical lines on his face.Â
The other man stammers, âW-wellâŠâ
âLet me rephrase-â Yuji says, â-do you want her in your house-â
âYes.â
âAnd there you go.â
Choso sputters, face flushing at the fact that heâd been caught out so easily. He scratches behind his neck and looks anywhere but into his brotherâs mischievous eyes, âW-well! Youâve clearly been spending too much time with SukunaâŠand what about the fact that we have a house and apparently the word- but still no actual- party-â
âSemantics, semantics.â And to Choso Kamoâs complete and utter horror- heâs pulling out his camera to take a picture of their stakeout. Heâs starting to push off the bookshelf and walk away.
Reaching out a hand, âWait- wait, Yuji!â
Right up to the corner of the shelf, he grins. âFirst weâve got to get the word out.âÂ
And before Choso can do anything about it, Yujiâs pranced right up to the long student desk. Making a few of them look up at his sudden, yellow-hoodied intrusion- heâs clapping a hand over his forehead and bemoaning. âOh, woe is me! Woe is me!â Chosoâs clapping a hand over his forehead, too, though for a much different reason. He thinks heâs having an aneurysm. âOh, I seem to have gotten myself a little lostâŠâ
Trailing off, he peeks at Utahime out of the corner of his eye - and finds her completely unphased.Â
It was as if she didnât even hear his display, and flicked casually through a glossy athletics magazine thatâd been stuffed between the pages of her textbook.
Choso watches as he starts up again, slightly louder this time- âMy poor, innocent high school self- all alone in this big, bad campus. All abandoned. If only I had a good samaritan to guide me backâŠâ He peeks at Utahime again and she doesnât even flinchâand what the- was that a textbook on childrenâs education she was reading?!
âOh, how I wish a future teacherââ Yuji lets the words ring in the air, shooing away another student thatâd come over to help him. â-could maybe get some practical work in and help meâŠa poor, poor high school student who doesnât know of the big worldâŠâÂ
Utahime looks up at himâthis was his chance!
And Yujiâs brightening up- before he registers she was looking right past him and at the clock thatâd been ticking away on the wall behind him. The two brothers come to the realization at the same time and they bite back groans.
Goddammit! âHow I wish I had someone to help me lest they wanted me to miss my brotherâs party- tonight. Yes, a party tonight. A partyyyyyââ Emphasizing his words; his initial idea had been to strike up a conversation with Utahime as she (with her heart of gold) helped his poor lost self, and to naturally weave in the idea of the party and perhaps invite her and her friends as a thank you.Â
But now, Utahime (with her heart of thorns) was pleasantly ignoring him to pack her bag and leave.Â
Though, he was catching the attention of almost everyone else in this part of the library. Wondering just who the kid was and why the hell he couldnât shut upââHe doesnât even go here!â
Yuji sighs, âFree beer.â
âOh, are you lost?â Utahime asks with a warm smile.
âWhat the-â Choso squawks, but ultimately gnaws down on the inside of his cheek to shut himself up before she hears. He watches Utahime get up from her seat and sling her back over her shoulder, leading an allegedly lost Itadori Yuji out of the library (the exit was two shelves away but she didnât seem to question it).
From here, he can hear snatches of their fading conversation - Utahime inquiring about this party, Yuji responding in kind. He rattles off their address that she makes him text her, along with an invite extended to her friends. She says she has two best friends who would just love to come. âYouâre Chosoâs brother, arenât you? I saw you two in the cafeteria today, yeah, my friend would tooootally love to come- just donât tell her boyfriend.â
Yuji tilts his head in slight confusion.
Choso notices that his brother also greatly exaggerates about the beer (which, obviously, the high-schooler wouldnât be able to drink) and some DJ theyâre flying in, but he doesnât quite have it in himself to feel anything but cautious excitement right now.
You.
You, you, you.
Yuji throws a thumbs up behind his back.
Pulling out his camera and starting to coax Utahime into a selfie picture or two.
Chosoâs lifting off of the shelf with a chuckle - he canât believe it worked. He canât believe it actually worked! In both shock and slight relief, heâs taking a few steps backânow that he thinks about it, how did it even work-
Before heâs crashing into someone.
âOh, fuck- Iâm so sor-â
âYouâre alright, baby.â
That voice.
Choso whirls around so fast that he feels the world tilt. Choso whirls around so fast that he feels his tall figure sway. That heâs chasing the sound of your voice- and he doesnât even care if he looks a fool doing it.
Though heâs sure it shows, if the way youâre giggling at his action is anything to go by.
Slightly fluttering your lashes, âSomething the matter?â You ask, with a smile.
âN-noâŠâ
âMhm.â And then you lean inâso close that he could kiss you.Â
One of your hands reaches past him, almost caging him against the book shelf. And Chosoâs plastering his back against their hair columns- face burning, hands pressing to his toned sides, pink lips quivering with greed. His eyes dip down to those lips of yours that just kept on getting closerâŠâWh-what you are-â
âI got what I need.â In the corner of his peripheral vision, he sees you lift off a hefty textbook from the shelf. Past his figure.Â
Where your hand had actually been reaching - and Choso feels his heart drop down to his stomach when you neatly distance yourself with the book. That very same slightly-dangerous smile still on your face, âAs for you, have fun with yourâŠâ Your eyes drift to the gap between two books heâd created, a peephole. Narrowing, though your smile only widens. â-spying. Bye now!â
âW-wait-â Chosoâs voice only comes out once youâd left, âWait I wasnât-â
.
.
.
PHASE TWO OF WIMP: Break her up with her boyfriendâyeah yeah, Chosoâs bored!
Nobody in the lecture hall seemed to question why a high-schooler was sitting and swinging his feet happily amongst them. Nobody in the lecture hall seemed to question why there was a sudden flurry of texts and whispers more prominent than usual, either.
A palpable excitement in the air.
And Choso doesnât think that Professor Yaga was paid enough to notice nor care.
It seems that telling Utahime first about the party was the smart move. Because before Choso had even stepped foot outside the library (moving on autopilot after that lilâ encounter from you), the news had trickled down from her and to almost the entire department. He was immediately being thrown looks left and right- hell, even a clap on his shoulder by some frat dude he didnât know congratulating him on âfinally throwing a ragerâ.Â
He didnât say he was throwing a ragerâŠnor that he was inviting themâŠbut alrightâŠ
Even now, a few of the students around him would nudge each other and not-so-subtly point. Giving him a few glances. Dropping each other the pin of his address. Whispering about how âthat quiet punkâ kid was throwing a party. Which honestly wouldâve been completely tolerable had it not been for the fact that he was drawing attention from the row before him. Think thatâs not too bad? Think again-
Choso takes just one glance at the row belowâand feels his heart jump to his throat as he recognizes the beautiful back of your head.
Heâs spent so many long hours studying it, you couldnât fault him for immediately knowingâŠ
But it didnât matter if he knew or not.
It didnât matter how close he was.
It was you, along with a few of your friends thatâd managed to register to the class in time (though, itâs not like you were lacking for willing volunteers). Along with your boyfriend beside you.Â
Chosoâs only able to look from behind.
Always an invisible wall between you two, invisible galaxies in every inch. Even that conversation he had with you in the library had ended in misunderstandings and distance. OhâŠhis heart ached, he hung his head low.
Your worlds would simply never crossâ
âHaibara Yu, an invite for you.â
âAh! Why thank you, Itadori-kun.â
âAnytime, my dude.â Yuji replies, eyes glimmering with stars.Â
Choso snaps his head to Yuji in utter astonishment as he leans down and prods the man with the bowl cut in front of him - one of your closest friends, Haibara. And here Itadori Yuji was - speaking to him as if it was absolutely nothingâdoesnât he know that you! Were! Right! There! The pink-haired boy seated next to him hands Haibara an impromptu invitation (really, a scrap of paper ripped off ofâŠChosoâs lyrics book with their address written down).Â
Chuckling at the cutely childish action, Haibara fist bumps Yuji. âIâll be there, and say thank you to your brother for me.â
âOh- heâs right here.â Yuji stabs a thumb to the seat beside him, which Choso looked as if he was trying to sink into. And when Haibara gives him a friendly smile and wave, Choso can only reciprocate with a jerky nod of his own.
And then Chosoâs attention gets caught by the way that Yuji reaches deep into his hoodie pocket. Pulling out several more crumpled scraps of paper- how the hell did he have so many? And what the hell was Choso supposed to write songs on now?!
He places his head in his hands and grumbles, âYujiâŠâ
But Yuji simply continues, âNanami Kento two for you-â His brother was now throwing the invitations at their unsuspecting recipients, the blond man catches it with a disgruntled scoff. âIjichi Kiyotakaâfour for you Ijichi Kiyotaka, you go Ijichi Kiyotaka!â A bespectacled man catches it with a yelp that catches Yagaâs attention (and his disregard). And then Chosoâs heart catches in his throat as Yuji sing-songs out your name, gently handing you your own scrap of paper.
His scrap of written-overâŠlyricalâŠpaper.
The scrap of paper that Choso had written songs about you on-
âAw, you wrote my name on it and everything?â Youâre cooing at the boy, beginning to unfold the invitation. It was a palimpsest of words, and your eyes go down the slightly-blurred lines of faint writing beneath Yujiâs blocky letters. It was cursive, slanted, with a sweetly messy impression so that you couldnât make out half the words on it. Just your name. Over and over. âThatâs so sweet! Um, you wrote my nameâŠlikeâŠa lot-â
âNo!â
Before you can read any further, the pierced man behind you reaches over and snatches the paper out of your hands. In a split-second, he has it crumpled up and stuffed deeeep into his bag where no mortal soul would see it ever again.
What follows next might be the most awkward few seconds of silence in his entire life.
Yuji looks at him. Yaga looks at him. Your friends look at him. You look at him-
âUm, why are you so obsessed with me?â
And he canât even say anything in response because itâs fucking trueâ!
Yuji takes a picture of the scene.
Itâs only Naoya who - seeming to not have noticed a single thing amiss - raises his index in the air and punctuates it with his annoying, grating voice. âUm-â
âAnd none for Naoya Zenin, bye!â Yuji stuffs the rest of the scraps inside his hoodie.
âExcuuuuuuse me-â
Choso blocks out the tirade of threats that Naoya then proceeds to spit their way, his black-tipped hair flying askew in all angles as he starts arguing with the younger boy. The previous tension between you and Choso left unsettled (not good tension, certainly, no matter what Yuji may think), youâre resigning yourself to lean back in your seat and let Naoya throw his arm over your. Jostled by him. Sighing at the fact that you were jostled by him. âNaoya, let it go-â
And ohâit makes Choso fucking angry to see you still with this asswipe.Â
But fuckâdoes it almost make him smile seeing that look on your face.Â
Only getting more bored with every word falling from Naoyaâs lips. Only barely putting up with him. A fleck of angry spittle falls from your (hopefully soon-to-be-ex) boyfriendâs mouth, and youâre meeting Chosoâs eyes in the middle as you follow it.Â
Both of you grimace in disgust.
Next to him, Yuji nudges at his ribs- a victory for Phase Two! He almost wants to laugh.
Yaga drones, âMister Kamo, would you mind letting the class hear your thoughts on the subject of Caesar and Brutus at hand?â It seems heâd gotten enough of the ruckus in the back rows.
Choso stands, clearing his throat. âWhatâs so great about Caesar? Hm? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar. Brutus is just as smart as Caesar. People totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar. And when did it become okay for one person to try and claim everything, huh? Because thatâs not what Rome is about.â He looks straight at Naoya, âWe should totally just stab Caesar!â
.
.
.
PHASE THREE OF WIMP: Ask her (to the party, if not out)!
âBubba-â
âNo-â
âCâmon bubba-â
âNo-â
Yujiâs throwing his hands up in defeat, letting Chosoâs own fall from his grasp. His wrists were all red nâ raw from all the pulling- even after the younger of the two brothers had seemingly given up on bodily draaagging Choso halfway down the campus gardens.
Right to you.
And honestly, Choso should be thankful that his brotherâs such a fervent advocate for him getting his shit together and actually talking to the girl of his dreams.
But youâre just meters away, so beautifully oblivious.
And he canât help but feel his knees weakenââB-but what am I even going to say to her-â
âFor starters, you can apologize for the way you snatched her invitation out of her hand.â Yujiâs saying - so very practically that it almost hurt. Was this really the same kid whoâd run after him crying when he first left for college? âAnd then you can invite her to the WIMP-â
âI said stop trying to-â
âI got it, I got it!â Yuji puffs out his cheeks in a pout, âMan, you really know how to squirm your way out of important conversations- but you wonât be squirming your way out of this!â
Before he knows it, Chosoâs being rounded by his younger brother- who then slams both palms against the others shoulders and starts shoving him in your direction. You were talking to someone, with your back turned to him and your air one of complete ease.
And here two Itadori brothers came to shatter it.
âYou- wonât- be- getting out of this one, bubba-â Yuji forces out between pushes, and with every time Choso struggled against it, his throws only got even harder. âTalk- to- her-â
âAnd- and say what-â
âI donât know- Iâve never asked anyone out before?â
âFuck!â
With a final profane exclamation, Chosoâs shoved right at your footsteps- and youâre turning around at the commotion. Raising your brows at the man that was bent so low before you, that he could practically look up your skirt if he wanted to.
You take a step back, âUmâŠâ
âF-fuck-â He seemed to be saying that a lot today, and he stands upright instantly. Rubbing at the back of his flushed neck, Choso tries looking anywhere but in your eyesâwhere the fuck did Yuji disappear to?! âAnyways umâŠnice weather weâre having, huh?â
âRightâŠâ You look up, there was a rain cloud formulating above you. There was a 30% chance that itâs already raining.
Your company - some business major by the name of Mei Mei, he believes, throws her single long braid over her shoulder - âOoo la la~ Guess I should leave you two alone then, hm?â Waving just the tips of her fingers at you, âToodles~!â
âBuh-byeee, again- I love your hair!â Youâre calling out with the sweetest smile.
âThank you~!â
And only once Mei Mei was well and fully not in earshot do you turn back to Choso and deadpan, âThat is the ugliest fucking hairstyle Iâve ever seen.âÂ
He hides a laugh behind his fist, âI-it certainly is eccentricâŠâ Well, heâd be lying if he said he never secretly thought the same.
You tilt your head, his contagious smile making your own lips slightly quirk. In this dimming light, you could see the dimples by the corners of his lips- âAnd so? I donât suppose youâre here to hear my tastes in hairstyles, are you?â
âI-I wouldnât mind.â He coughs underneath his breath, self-consciously thinking to his own cutesy space-buns. Heâs seen you staring at them a few times beforeâŠat least his imagination liked to think you did. Heâs almost glad he wore them down today, âBut ah- but no, youâre right. First of all, I came to apologize.âÂ
Before you can say anything else, heâs bowing before you.
Sharp and sincere.
He couldnât see the expression on your face like this- and so Choso scrunches his eyes and spits out the words. âI apologize for how rude I was during the lecture earlier, it- itâs completely my fault and I shouldnât have snatched the invitation out of your hands. It was justâŠâ
âPersonal?â You ask, and heâs whipping his head up to catch your warm smile. âI get it. Your secretâs safe with me.â Before thinking about it a little more, âAnd UtahimeâŠand Shoko. Maybe Ijichi-â
His pinkish mouth gapes, âA-and theâŠâ
âMy name?â Teasingly, you pretend to think. âI didnât see a thing. My name? What name?â
Beside himself, he begins to laugh- âAnd I uh- thereâs alsoâŠâ Heâs only slightly leaning up from his bow now, fists clenching upon either side as if tries not to lose his nerve. And Choso might just have- had it not been for the flailing body of his brother.
Just a little distance away, Yuji dances about and gestures at Choso to keep talking. Shaping out hearts with his arms. Mouthing a little âgo onâ. Puckering his lips and making kissy facesâ
You notice the way his gaze strays past you and start to turn-
But Chosoâs grabbing your hand in a panic- stopping you from moving- making you turn around in slight surprise. âI uh!â And he feelsâŠhe feels so much. The heat of your hand thrumming in his own. The zaps of electricity as your eyes meet his. The adoration at just how beautiful you were in this light. Somehow, some way, the shy man manages out. âI wanted toâŠto invite you personally to the WI- I mean, the party.âÂ
He winces, waiting for your rejection.
Only-
âIâd love to!â
In the distance Yujiâs camera runs out of battery with how many times heâs flashing away pictures.
Chosoâs on cloud nine all the way back home, he doesnât think his feet even touch the pavement. Yuji gives him a good, hard smack on the back in congratulations as they get on Chosoâs bikeââWow, maybe youâre not a hopeless case after all, bubba!âÂ
Choso rides a little faster that day.
.
.

PHASE FOUR OF WIMP: DONâT BE A WIMP!
It honestly hadnât taken them too long to turn Itadori Jinâs home into the habitat of a college party. It was already big enough, and it had a pool out in the back and a rooftop to climb. All they needed to add were a few key components: booze, beats, onion rings.
Most of it was ordered with their uncleâs credit cardâŠ
Heâd asked his Löded Diper members to join him for a gig later in the night. And Yuji had begged his friends to help them with the decorating and set-up on account that they could join the (alcohol-free, to them) party afterwards.
Meanwhile Choso had paced their living room so many times that he thinks his footsteps were seared into the carpet - some excuse of a cool big brother he was. Heâd damn near twisted off his lip piercing with the way heâd been nervously toying with it- itâd taken Yuji and Nobara dragging him off to get a bit more dolled-up for him to stop.
And so here he was.
Dressed in his best ripped jeans, chains glinting, biceps flexing through his short sleeves, nails painted and re-painted.Â
He throws his silky bangs out of his eyes and watches as the students trickle in- he didnât even know half the people that dapped him up before treading inside the Itadori family home. And through each smile and greeting, Chosoâs eyes flickered over the blur of faces for only one.
Yours.
The slosh of beer. The splash of ping-pong balls inside cups.
It was nearing midnight and Choso still couldnât find you. Fuck, he almost considers letting the party rage on and leaving to find you himself-
âBubba!â Yuji calls out over the thumping bass, and the dark-haired man is whipping around to find his brother surfing over the sea of people. âBubba- bubba!â Hand cupped over his mouth to let his voice project, the other gripping his camera. âI saw Utahime and Shoko by the food table, no sign of her though.â
âYuji-â Chosoâs yanking on his brotherâs arm, tugging his brother to him. His eyes probe down in concern, âWhat do you mean no sign of her? Youâre sure?â
âPositive.â Yuji nods, âI asked them, too- they said sheâd be coming separately but still no sign of her.âÂ
âI hope sheâs okayâŠâ Choso worries on his lip ring, he looks over the perspired heads of party-goers. The party was in full swing by midnight, and it showed no sign of stopping. Heâs sure he saw at least one antique vase smashed, and one drunk couple making out in Sukunaâs roomâŠâMaybe I should go check on her?â
Yuji tilts his head in confusion, âHow?â
âIâll just wait by the door maybeâŠâ
âAll night?â
âAll morning if I have to.âÂ
Waving off his concerns, he tells his brother to order some more food and leaves for the front door.
Ignoring the calls of his name and the compliments. Trying to squeeze past the slightest gaps between bodies, âExcuse me-â Heâs whispering, wincing as he forces his way through them. âExcuse me- coming through. Excuse me.â Seeing the widely gaped door as a few more people shove themselves inside the party, the door starts to close. âWait wait donât close, I just want to get to-â
You.
A hand stops the front door from closing, and heâs instantly putting a name to face. A name to body. A name to each fingertip by fingertip.
The party hushes just a little when you enter. The music slows. The chatter dies down. The eyes of everyone present snaps to you- holy shit, it was you. It was really, really you.Â
Dressed in your prettiest slip dress. Hugging every inch of you so perfectly in the way he wanted to. Your eyes shimmering with a bit of glitter on the edges. Your lips resembling a candy he couldnât wait to suck on right now. Immediately, itâs as if his world was bending to your will, your intrusion - as it always did.
Holding the door open, âOh!â Youâre clearly startled to come face-to-face with Choso Kamo so soon - and especially so close. Your eyes widen as they flit up his sculptured body, that t-shirt that clung to him attractively. âDitching your own party so soon?â
âI was about to until you came along.â
Fuckâwhy did he say that?
In the distance, he can hear three irritating (strangely familiar) squeals. And heâs bringing a hand up to fiddle with his lip piercing, apology on his tongue when-
âWell, then I sure am glad I came along.â Youâre smiling in that way that feels like youâre analyzing every inch of him, âThis party wouldnât have been much fun without you, Cho.â You push his shoulder with yours, and he thinks he might just melt.
He thinks he does.
Thereâs a flash of a camera that jolts him into action once more.
âCan I uh- get you uhâa beer? Or something?â Grimacing at his own choked-up hosting, he ushers you in and closes the door. Your shoulder brushes against his, and he thinks he might just cream his pants. âOr a shot? Ah- onion rings?â
âI think Iâm good on the alcoholâŠfor now.â You hum, and thereâs something in your tone that he canât quite pinpoint. The party parts ways for you, and heâs leading you inside.Â
Choso raises a brow, curious. âHow come for now?â
âAh- because I know if I want to drink Iâll drink until I drop out of anger.â You huff, looking up at him meaningfully. Youâd reached the dance floor by now- or at least, the living room that had found itself being turned into a dance floor. The music was much louder here, and you beckon Choso in close to whisper in his earâyour breath brushing his sensitive earlobes. âBreak-ups tend to do that to you.â
Choso shivers at the proximity, before registering what youâd just said. âWait- break-up-â
âIt was a long time coming anyway.â Youâre sighing, a slight smile on your face. âAnd this time itâs done for good- donât worry, itâs not like Iâm upset or anythingâŠâ Huffing out contemplatively, âWell, maybe a little- but not over him, rather the time I wasted.â
âI-I seeâŠâ Choso swallows, his throat was parched as if heâd just run a marathon. He clenches his fists, and then he wipes those sweaty palms down his sidesâbefore bringing them up to hold yours. In just a little, his band would be playing (heâd been holding them off for you), but until thenâŠ
You look up at him in slight surprise, slight warmth.
âThenâŠâ He tugs you down to the dance floor, â-shall we dance?â
.
.
.
âFuh-fuckâŠâ Choso canât help but let his slick tongue flop out- as if he wanted to surge his head between those pretty legs of yours, as if he wanted to chase that sweetly honeyed cunt youâd plopped right on top of him.
It didnât take long after dancing together - so close, youâre sure the rumor mill was working overtime by now - and listening to Chosoâs rock set before youâd all but dragged him upstairs. Blindly, heâs the one thatâd led your impatient self to his bedroom and locked the door.
And youâd barely had the time to admire those rock posters along his walls, his practice drum kit, before heâd laid you out on his jet-black sheets.
Before youâd flipped him over and set your thighs upon either side of his pretty, pretty face.
With your hips hoverinâ over Chosoâs face, youâre letting your mouth upturn into a smirk as his gluttonous tongue lavishes out. The ridges of his tastebuds already watery with how badly he wanted you, heâs groaning from underneath. âS-sit on my face.âÂ
âWhat was that?â Youâre leaning in with your ear cupped, pretending not to hear. Not close enough for him to actually get what he wants, but enough to have him lunging forwards with a whine. âThe musicâs really loud, Cho.â
âSit on my- face.â Such a pretty hot blush spreads all over his cheeks, as if Choso couldnât believe the words that were coming out of his own mouth. With both hands gripped upon both your thighs, heâs pulling you in. âPlease sit on my face, ngh- what do I hafta do to have you fuck my mouth properly?â
âHow about you beg-â
âPleaseââ
âCall me maâam?â
Tears start twinkling at the edge of Chosoâs eyes at how badly he wanted you, how ravenous he was. âPleaseâŠâ Mumbling out in such a pouty way, his lip ring glimmers. âPlease, maâam.â
You shiver, zaps of arousal running down your spine and straight to your core- you couldnât believe that it was so damn easy to get him to bend to your will like this. And Chosoâs noticing your slight shakes with a whine of concern, batting up his lashes-
âSomething the matter, baby?â
âOh, nothingââ You hum, and the bed creaks as you inch just a lilâ forward. âItâs just, youâre already so tempting as is- just one question, have you ever done this before?â
You didnât know it was even possible for his furious flush to grow even stronger, âN-noâŠâ
âMmm, thought so.â
To which his brown brows furrow in a plea- âBut I promise Iâll be so good for you- mmpf!â
Immediately shutting him up with the front of your pussy- your bloated lips end up glued against his mouth. His greedy maw. His agape cavern. His lip piercing was cold against your outer cunt. His tongue sticks directly out to swipe at your sultry pussy, and you watch in real time as Chosoâs doe-like eyes widen, entire body jolting as if heâd just been struck by a million volts of electricity.
And he takes one lick, he takes one slurp.
Thatâs all it takes for Choso Kamo to get fucking addicted.
âO-oh my godâŠâ Slurring out right between your pussylips, youâre being dragged forwards as if you were nothing but a ragdoll atop him. Nudged right until the tip of his straight nosebridge ends up shoved between your folds, âMmm, oh my god-â He breathes outâthatâs until he realizes that he has to remove himself from your pussy to actually breathe.
And itâs with great pain that and multiple seconds that Choso actually unlatches himself from your cunt to intake a few gasps. Before plunging straight back in with a wet sluuuuurpââOh my god- are all pussies this sweet- or is it just yours, ngh! I think itâs just yours, babyâŠâ
Oh, itâs going to be really fun to control him to your lecherous whims.
âI didnât realize youâd be a fuckinâ...oh, fuck.â Youâre throwing your head back with a slight yelp. Because without any warning, Chosoâs smearing aside your folds with his nose to find your sensitive nub.
Instantly letting his mouth fall open, heâs latching at your clit and drag-drag-draaaagging. And especially with his frigid lip ring, itâs making you feel sensations you didnât even know were possible. âMmm, and then thereâs this clit of yoursâfuck!â As if that wasnât enough, heâs reaching up a hand to hold your pussylips wiiiide open. Sucklinâ away even deeper, âJust the gift that keeps on givinâ, baby, mmm- this pussy is just such a treat. I think I could have her for breakfast, lunch, and dinner-âÂ
He just starts babbling - so drunk on your pussy already that the only thing you can do is grab onto a lock of Chosoâs dark hair and pull him off. âCh-Choso, oh my god.â Wait- did you think you could control him?
Heâs blinking his long lashes at you blearily, lips all glossed with your sweetened slick. âWhat were you saying again?â
âMunch.â Youâre spitting out, almost accusing- and a drivel of your spit dangles out of your mouth, ready for Choso to open his mouth and let it splatter onto his mouth. Youâre looking down at the display and letting out a shiver, âI didnât think youâd be such a munch, Choso- you sure youâve never done this before?â
âP-pussyâŠâ Heâs prattling out, hypnotized. Before shaking his head out of that daze, slightly giggling. âI mean- positive.â
Your peripherals widen in disbeliefâdid he seriously just mix that word up with your pussy? âYou canât be seriousâŠâ Deciding to take things into your own hands, youâre tightening your fist âround his sweat-drenched bangs a bit more. âUnless you want to- hah, suffocate then you might wanna take it slow, baby.â
âB-butâŠâ
âBut what, Choâ?â And oh, he could see that mean glint in your eyes as you tugged his head to the side and made him groan. The sudden movement made Chosoâs lips break off with a dampened mwah! and the poor boy is reaching upwards with a few pleas.
âPlease-â This eyeliner smearing âround the edges as he all but cries at the very thought of your pussy being taken away from him. âPlease- no! Donât take her away from me mâbegging- you can take it slow, you can take it slow.â Choso shakes his head fervently, âYou can take it slow justâŠâ
And you catch his dilated pupils darting somewhere towards the edge of his bedside cabinet, curiosity growing. âJust what, hm?â
âI just want to have one condition of my own.â
You let him trail off of your pussy- and it takes him a few more open-mouthed kisses before he can even bear to remove himself from your cunt. Without delay, he reaches to open up the drawer beside him. âWhat are youâŠâ
And you can only watch - slack-jawed and speechless - as Choso fits a silver orb of a tongue piercing right in the middle of his tastebuds.
Right smack-dab in the middle.
You take back what you thought about control.
And youâre barely allowed the time to register just how attractive he looks this way, before Chosoâs back plastering his flattened muscle over your pussy. âS-slow, I said, Cho. Slow.â
âSorry, baby, sorry.â Brows knitting together, he tries to concentrate. âSlowâŠmâgonna take itâŠslow.â
Youâre gyrating your hips backwards in such a sensual pace - it was almost agonizing the round-a-bout way youâd move your hips back against his face. Keeping him wrapped around your lilâ pinkie, âMmm, yeah- just like that, Choso.âÂ
Holding onto his scalp, your channel constricts at the way he just kept on cracking out tiny whimpers every time you tugged a bit too harshly at him.
Humming, âJust like thaaaaat-â Feeling his overeager mouth surge faster upwards at the compliment, âAh ah- slow down, baby. Mmm, just like that.â
Because at least this tempo let you keep your wits about you.Â
SomewhatâŠ
But then something happens.
But then heâs sensing your deviating hips angle themselves- heâs sensing you crave the cold drag of his piercing. And Choso Kamo just canât stop his body being sent into a state of frenzyâwhere it doesnât matter how much youâre holding yourself back, heâs pulling you in, heâs squelching his tongue upwards, heâs kissing away. âThisââ Lapping and lapping up the crevice of your cunt with his lengthy tongue. âDoes it feel good on your pussy, baby? Please- please tell me you can feel it.â
âI can feel it.â Breathily, you have to fight to keep your tone under control as he slips nâ slides his textured tastebuds all over your outer pussy. Alternating between those ravenous kisses and lilâ tugs on your clit. âF-feels so cold on my clit- hah.â Fuck slow, he was going wild.
âGood.â And you swear you can feel Chosoâs smile spreading across your folds, oh-so-sensitive with his sheer friction. The longer he was kissinâ away at your cunt, the more honest he got. âI got it just for you, yâknow?â
And no matter how tightly youâre trying to grab onto his sweaty scalp, Choso was just so feral with his movements. Uncontrollable. You try to haul him backwards to slow him down, but he was only manhandling you further onto his face. âWh-what do you mean you got it just for me?â
âExactly what I said, babyââ Heâs batting his teary lashes, âThat I was thinkinâ of you when I- ngh, got it. That all I could fucking think of when I got my tongue pierced was havinâ your sweet pussy on me like this, and my piercing rubbinâ up against you like- that-â
Lurching on top of him when he stretches your tight hole out with just the crown edge of his tongue. Chosoâs circular piercing knocks up against the sides of your walls and leaves you feeling mad, âOh my godââ Saliva splattering down your front.
Then Chosoâs feeling the way you clench, feeling the way your entrance quivers around nothing.
And it was just such a shame to leave your pretty cunt waiting, wasnât it? So like the good boy he was, heâs slipping an inch of his wet muscle inside and making you gasp at the stretch. His orbed piercing marking his pathway perfectly, âShit! At least give a girl a warning-â
âMâsorry, baby.â Choso whines, âY-you wonât take my pretty pussy away from me for that, will you?â
âWellâŠâ At least dragging out your answer let you see him all hopeless and needy like this. But honestly, looking at him - all starry-eyed, blushing-cheeked, half his face slicked in your sap - how could you ever say no to him?
Shit, he might just have you drunk on his tongue.
And your body starts to quake with tiny shivers, with both your hands woven into his hair for stability. You feel the desperate slashes of his tongue increase, and realize that he wasnât edging any closer to your hole without your permission. How cuteâŠâNope- but sâgonna be on my terms, baby- oh.â
No sooner are the words panted out of your mouth that Chosoâs mazing his prolonged tastebuds straight through your entrance.
A direct pap! to the gooey roof of your cunt- and you gasp at the contact, slightly pulling back. Before Choso holds one side of your hips and makes you sit properly down on his face to slash and slash and slash at your innards. Fucking you with his mouth like such an animal- âY-yes, anything you sayâŠâ
âFuck- fuck- then-â Youâre tugging back with his hair, almost simply to watch the way that Chosoâs chasing your cunt afterwards.
âT-tell me mâdoing a good job, baby- tell me-â
Hiccuping out, âYouâd be a much better boy fâme if you were a little more in control.â His lip piercing was practically glued to your outer cunt, and Choso simply couldnât decide between sucking on your slit and spreadinâ open your hole with his very lips.
Maddened.
Youâre struggling to even think beyond the primal stretch at your hole, and as you tug on Chosoâs hair yet another time- heâs moving back in with a growl. âC-can you even think, baby?â Asking, whining through the great dollops of saliva clogging up your throat. He shakes his head and you continue, âDo you even know what youâre doing? Can you even breathe?â
âHow can I?â
Drippinâ straight down his pointed chin, droplets of your slick wobble across his skin as he mumbles. âLike I said- mâtaking it sloooowââ Stroking your glistening walls multiple times a second, his tongue piercing zig-zagging rapid lines. âMâtaking it- hah, just the pace you want it.â His brown eyes glinting with something that looked almost predatory. âMâgiving you m-mercy.â
âF-fuckâŠâ A breathless gasp leaves you, eyes widening at the sinful epiphany youâd just come across. âI reallyâŠcanât control you.â
Shoving himself a few inches deeper inside your wet pussy, âBut she certainly can.â
And then itâs not just Chosoâs tongue thatâs muddlinâ up your mind (and your cunt), but his fingers decide to join in on the fun, too.
Not only were they unfairly long, but they were so flexible.Â
Curving juuust the right way to make those chunky metal rings on his fingers dig against your softened walls, âJ-just canât control myself when it comes to this pussy, baby.â Heâs whining out between your slick-sheened thighs, splatter after splatter of syrup letting out of you. Choso thrusts his digits in until theyâre knuckle-deep, and his skin âround that area stings bright red. âJust drives meâŠwild. Just makes me wanna make her mine and- fuck, fuck everyone that th-thinks otherwise.â
âOh, pleaseââ Throwing your head back, your thighs start to shiver - and youâre not quite sure whether thatâs because of the exertion or the sheer amount of pleasure he was pumping into you. âPlease, youâre just so close-â
âNo, youâre just so close.â Heâs giggling out, taking a lavish lick inside your hole. âI can taste it on her.â
âYou- you canâŠâ You breathe out in disbelief.Â
He locks his lips âround your clit now, permanently back to sucking on that cute nub. Drawing out the most adorable whines from your mouth, Chosoâs swervinâ his ringed fingers inside of you. Looooog zig-zags, âI can.â Poking his textured tips into any crevice he can find, any orifice. âYouâre startinâ to taste so much sweeter, baby- fuh-feels like youâre gonna cum on my tongue.â
Bucking, âI am I am- ngh, Iâm so fucking close.â
âMmmmâjust need to hit that p-pretty lilâ g-spot, donât I?â At that surprised look youâre throwing down at him, âWhat? Just because mâa virgin doesnât mean that Iâm- ngh, unknowledgeable. I read up on it yâknowâŠâ
âAnd what exactly did you read up on it, Choso?â You canât help but ask.
âThat I need to find that spot and youâll feelââ The circle of his tongue piercing draaaags so lecherously, right on time with one of his silver rings inside of you. The cold material makes your pupils swirl inside the whites of your eyes, and you almost donât hear his next words. â-like c-cumming on my face-â
Jostled up by him-
âPlease tell me where it is, baby.â He begs, words nearly drowned out by the squelches! of him hammerinâ two fingers away inside of you. âPlease- please I want you to cum on my face. I promise Iâll be goodâŠafter, just let me know where-â
âFuh-fuuuuck, Choso.â Youâre bawling out, that fire starting out at the pit of your stomach. âYouâre just too much- think mâgonna cum soon nâ- hck! my g-spot should beâŠâ
He moves, fingers twitching excitedly inside of you.
â-right- up.â
And heâs probinâ into your sweetest spot perfectlyâjust perfectly.Â
The roughened knobs of his fingers stick against your bundle of nerves, and youâre feeling a sudden surge of pleasure that makes you see pure white- before youâre throwing your head back and announcing your high. âC-cumming-â You gurgle out, âOh my god- mâcumming, Choso.â
âH-hehâŠall on my tongue.â The dark-haired man declares smugly - just as heâd expected, youâd toppled over the edge. He told you he could taste it. âMore, baby- more. Ride your orgasm out on my tongue, will you?â
âDoing soâŠâ
Fucking you with his hands.
Not only were you gripping Chosoâs long locks in two places and using him to bounce your hips backwards, but he was elongating your high with not two- not three- but four ringed fingers bullied between your tender pussylips.
Just plain mean. The sheer stretch of it was just incredible, and he was openinâ you up like never before.Â
Eating you out like never before.
Youâre feeling wet tears roll down your cheeks at the feeling of his tastebuds rolling over your throbbing clitâslurp-slurp-slurp! Precisely whenever it felt like a peak of your bliss was coming onwards, and that only left you more gone on his tongue. âFeels good like this, doesnât it, baby?â With a sloppy noise, he then continues to suck on your clit. âMmmm- not bad for a first timer.â
âP-perhaps.â You didnât even know what else to say. Youâre shivering throughout your entire body when he slobbers his tongue over from your clit to start pricking nâ prodding at your hole. âShit- yâknow my highâs almost over, right, Choso?â
âI know.â
And yet he still doesnât stop.
Not until youâre left fucked utterly dumb on his mouth, not until heâs letting you ride through your entire orgasm and then some, not until he has you in actual tears of overstimulation-
âP-please-â You couldnât believe how you sounded at this point - you. Queen Bee. Things always went your way- but now you were at Chosoâs complete and utter mercy. âGive your mouth a little rest, Cho-â
He seethes, as if offended. âI donât even need to breathe when I have your pussy on me, you think Iâd stop because mâjaws fuckinâ tired, baby?â
Blubbering, âMaybe not- but hck! if you slow down now then Iâll have more stamina for ah- something elseâŠâ For him? Youâd have stamina regardless, but the lilâ warning worked in getting Choso to unglue his pierced lips from your pussy with a final mwah!
And it was the loudest, most sinful noise youâve heard in your entire life.
Enough to get you to shake with arousal, and for Choso to use his strong arms nâ seat you down on his lap. With your legs straddling his slender waist now, heâs sitting up.Â
Staring down at you through heavy half-lidded eyes, âYou were sayingâŠ?â
âI was saying.â
He just looked too sexy like this.
Long hair all rumpled with you running your fingers through them. His eyes faintly misty and sex-crazed. More than half his face was gleaming with your syrupy slick. Lips puffy. Eyeliner smeared. Rings all stained with a few layers of your sap that he licks right off- all while looking straight into your dilated pupils.
Your cunt throbs.
Eager to get him back for this, youâre tearing off Chosoâs t-shirt of some punk-rock band. And beneathâoh, were you pleasantly surprised.
Youâd somewhat expected Choso to be one of those types that were silently muscular, silently toned, silently so strong.Â
Your eyes greedily followed the curves and dips of his sculpted front, and realize that he was blushed all the way down to his prominent pecs. You reach out and touch the spattering of star-like freckles across them, and then so on forth to hisâŠnipple piercings.
Your thumb snags on the glinting bar that pierced his left pec- and he hisses.
âOh my-â Youâre cooing, âSâthis for me, too?â
âY-yes.â
You push him down flatly onto the bed, making his pillows puff up with the pressure. Your hands then sensually caress the ladder-like ridges of his abs - all smoooooth and rippling at your touch.Â
Down, down, dooooown to ultimately end up buried in his slightly unruly happy trail. âItâs always the quiet ones, huh?â His breath hitches once you start fiddling with his jeans, tuggingâpulling. âWho wouldâve thought that cute lilâ Choso Kamo, always so quiet and shy, would be like this.â Your mouth waters as his pants start loosening, âThat heâd be so, soâŠâ
Big.
There was no other adjective for it.
Choso Kamo was simply so big - just the prettiest rose-red at his tip, all engorged that it was as if every ounce of blood in his body had ended up at his cock instead. A few puffy veins. Just the barest curls of brown at his base. His erection stood looooong and upright, dribblinâ out a few lines of precum at the intensity of your stare.Â
And there- right in the middle of his shaft was a circular piercing that sat snugly underneath a particularly prominent vein. Winking up at you like it couldnât wait to feel you.
And even from here, you could tell that Choso was already the type to be so sensitive-
âD-donât-â To your surprise, his right hand snakes down and ends up at your throat. Gently holding you back from getting any nearer to his raging hot cock.
Youâre mentally counting about ten of his inches- maybe eleven?! And you look up at him in slight confusion.
He clears his throat, âI mean- itâs just that I know what youâre thinking. But the thing is, if you put your lips on me now then mâjust gonnaâŠcumâŠinstantly.â
Your brows raise damn near to your hairline, âWhat if I want that then?â
âIâll beg you not to.â
âBeg.â
âPlease, maâam- fuck-â Youâve just made that punk-rock boy begâand not only that, whilst he was midway through his pleading, youâd made him throw his head back with the cutest whine.
How?
Simply swervinâ your hips over his aching hot length, and whilst Choso had been talking- youâd just runnnnn your glossy pussylips down the thickness of his length. Simply sandwiched between your folds, heâd felt so thick and solid against your entrance.
Throb-throb-throbbing away.
Itâd only left youâŠravenous for more-
âNeed you to fuck me now, Cho.â You lean in to tell him, your breath scorching against his face. And Choso had the urge to lean up and lick those dried tears off your cheeks. âWant you inside me so fucking bad-â
âFuh-fuck- donât talk like that.â Heâs urgently saying, head snapping downwards.
And youâre following his gaze just to find that Chosoâs bawling divot had started pouring out bead after bead of gooey white sap at your words. Simply your words. He was almost on the verge of cumming at your words.
And oh- how he both loves and hates that mischievous smile that spreads across your pretty face. âBut itâs just the truth, Cho.â Batting your lashes up at him, âI just really want you inside-â
âPlease-â
âAlways wanted you inside-â
âI w-wonât go easy-â
âAlways dreamt of you inside- oh, fuck.â
Itâs the last thing your nasty mouth can get out before Chosoâs grabbing onto either side of your shoulders and shoving his thick, aching cock inside of you.
Just a single inch, perhaps not even that.
Just the slightest intrusion.
And itâs so sexy that you almost wished you recorded the way heâs letting his toned chest heave with a gasp, the way heâs flushing all the way down to his roots, the way that Chosoâs entire body seems to zap with sultry lightningâa mere pause.
You could almost feel the question that hangs in the air - so this is what you feel like?
Before then heâs shoving and shoving.
Like heâs gone absolutely wild- âFuck-â Choso spits between his honed teeth, âFuck- hold still.â Grabbing onto you anywhere, everywhereâjust anything that would keep you there while he tried to fuck his cock inside you until your sweetened sap is overspilling. âHold still, hold still, holdââ You werenât even prepared to accommodate him, and yet you can feel an inch or so more of his thickness funnel inside. ââstill.â
âOh my- oh my god!â Youâre thrashing at the sudden pressure being put on your lower half, but Chosoâs keeping his hold firm. Heâs pinning you down. Heâs not letting you move a single inch. Heâs not even giving you a mere warning before reeling his puffy inches back-
Your eyes snap open, and youâre just about to ask whether he was pulling back.
-before Chosoâs snapping his hips to yours and only tunneling that globular tip of his even deeper. âHold still.â He spits down a splat! accurately onto your cunt, âYou- you just need to hold still.â
It was like a mantra. Youâre shivering at the tone of his voice.Â
There was a certain roughness to his words, a certain primal want in them that youâve never heard from Choso before. Or anyone, ever, really.Â
It made your heard damn near beat out of your chest, and your fingers tremor as you reach up to him. Gliding away the sweaty bangs that obscure Chosoâs gaze, âWhat did you say now, baby?â
âI said-â And you can only gasp as he lunges his hips back a few more inches, barely even letting your cunt constrict around nothing before heâs pushing in with a deep thwack! Itâs enough to make your body lurch at the sudden intrusion- to which Chosoâs tightening his grip on you until he was white-knuckled. â-hold. Still.â
But how could you possibly hold still when you were stuffed in so tight that you barely felt like you could even breathe. Could barely even keep it together. Could barely do anything but arch your back and-
âDidnât I fuckinâ tell you to hold still?â
Your jaw drops, turning your head down to look at himâwerenât you supposed to be the mean one out of you two? âYou did, but-â
âThen holdââ Clearly feeling that he needed to up the ante, both his hands detach from your sides. You could already feel the steam wafting out from where his touch had once been, and those very same rude palms waste no time ending upâŠlaced on top of your crowned scalp. â-fucking-â Using the leverage to push you down onto his drilling hips, â-still.â
He finally looks up at you then - finally.
And what you see shakes you to your very core.
Because Choso Kamoâs pupils were dilated until it looked almost animalistic, in a way you didnât even know was possible for a human. He looked crazed. He looked hungry. He looked as if he was on the verge of devouring you whole right then and there.
And then heâs fucking you like it, too.
Rough, rapid half-thrusts just to fit inside.
FuckâChosoâs throbbing circumference was just too fucking big to bottom out immediately. But heâs sloppily dragging down your channel until he was just about halfway inside, with the knob of his silver piercing tickling your entrance.
With a gruff groan, he swipes that frigid metal âround your hole as if claiming you. The shy man hisses at the resistance of your cunt before holding you down and pushing- âHold still before I fucking c-cum.â
âFuck- actually, donât even speak.â And youâre quickly understanding why when even the mere sound of your whiny voice leaves Chosoâs bludgeoning tip twitching.
Hard and fast.
Desperate and needy.
Like he was trying to claim even the slightest ounce of space inside you, Choso bucks his hips and lets his dewy eyes flutter shut. Mouth falling agape, âShut up and take it. D-donât test me, baby.â With the hand plastered on top of your scalp, heâs ramming you right back down to meet his hips. âNot unless you want me to cum i-inside right this very second.â
âBut what if I do?â
âFuckâŠfucking- shutââ Shutting you up by a ringed thumb pushed into your mouth, it was just so easy for him to reach down from your crown. Preventing you from talking back, preventing you from running, preventing you from doing any fucking thing but taking his thickly massive cock.
Ignoring those words of yours that were definitely riling him up, Choso instead focuses on letting his blushinâ tip scrape at your g-spot.
It leaves you absolutely incoherent, squealing âround the intrusion of his thumb. âPlease-â Youâre somehow managing out, âPlease I- hck! love it like that- would love it even more if you would cum in-â
âFucking- I canât evenââ And he just sounds so agonized as he drills up into you like a madman - Chosoâs oversensitive cock wasnât even ready to, didnât even think he could handle it. And yet heâs doing so to prevent you from yammering on with those filthy words of yours. Chosoâs crying out. âIs that you or her talking- you or herâstop talkinâ outta your pussy, baby, sâgonna drive me w-wild.â
Blinking away your tears, the edge of his thumb had slipped out of your mouth by now. Drawing a splattering smear of saliva, âAnd here I thought you said you were g-going to let me have my way-â
âDid I say that?â As he pauses to think, you could see the brief glimmer of human recognition spark in Chosoâs deep irises. âCanât remember, heh.â
âYou little-â
Youâre cut off by your own surprised yelp, because in absolutely no time- Choso has your positions flipped over. It was you that had your back against the mattress now, being pushed further and further in the direction of the headboard any time he moved.
And Choso was just lurking above you, was just pinning you down with his mere muscular weight.
He didnât even have to try to halt your restless hips in their pursuit, and throws your legs over his shoulders easily to fuck you in the meanest mating press possible.
Your ass against his thighs, his forehead bending down to press against yours.
This angle was just perfect.Â
In absolutely no time, his rounded cockhead was bludgeoning against every sweet orifice on your walls. Before heâs ultimately slide-slide-sliiiiding down to dig his circular girth against your cervix- with a great thud! that sets your teeth on edge.
His pale hips slam into yours again and again and again- âH-hold still.â Just about the only thing that he could get out now, right between those clenched canines of his. It was more on autopilot than anything, because you werenât moving a single inch- and yet Choso was already so gone on your cunt that he couldnât stop babbling. âDidnât I tell you to stop moving- oh, this sweet pussyâŠsheâs just being so filthy fâme.â
âAnd youâre just being so pussydrunk, Cho.â Youâre somehow giggling out, though heâs slowly fucking that laughter out with a rough few slams at your deepest depths.
Not slowing down until you couldnât help but feel his bruisinâ tip even after heâs pulled out, just to sink all the way back in again. âHold- fucking- stillââ
âI am.â
âWh-what do you even mean?â Sounding genuinely confused, genuinely so dazed. Youâre sure that if you squeezed your soft, velvety walls this very second then Choso would completely forget the last few seconds of your conversation.
Almost to test it - you do.
And you watch as the dark-haired man immediately drops his head to the crook of your neck, clammy skin-against-skin. You watch as he shivers, you watch as he only raises his face to stare at you with bleary eyes. âWh-what were we talking about again, babyâŠ?â And even more so- youâre raising both your hands up to toy with the glinting silver of Chosoâs nipple piercings, rolling your fingers over his rosy buds. And you watch as an even more dopey expression overcomes his features, âWe were nghtâtalking?â
Even his syllables were slurring together. You had to bite back a giggle, âJust talking about how much I wanted you to fill me- ngh- up.â Youâre tugging and teasing his cute nipples, he lets off the prettiest short gasps any time youâre pressing down on the pierced nubs of his nipples like a button. âYou can cum inside right now if you wanted, Cho.â
âR-rightâŠâ And his eyes grow just a bit clearer, heâs nodding as if he remembered exactly what you meant. Scouring one hand off your head and down the middle of your core, âRight- was talking about how I wanted to fill this ngh- cute womb up like craaaaazy- werenât we?â
âYes- fuck yes.â Youâre moaning as his speed suddenly grows even faster.
âAnd we were talking about how mâgonna cum any second now?â He presses down on the top of your stomach as he pounds past your geysering orifice, creating the perfect pressure that makes the both of you whimper. âAnd how mâgonna be the one to cuh-cum first?â
âYes- yes-â
âBecause mâso patheeeeetic on this pussy, arenât I?â An almost crazed tone in his voice, something that sends zaps of electricity thrumming through your every vein. âIâd die for her- Iâd ngh- do anything for her.â
You throw your head back, body arching against his glissading abs. âYouâŠareâŠoh.â And you didnât know who was more shattered at this point - you orâ
âBut youâre not pathetic for wanting this touch-starved loser virgin to fill your cunt up with my cum?â
You.
It was absolutely you.
At least, it was you in this very moment.Â
Because somewhere in the middle of his vulgar strokes, Choso had somewhat regained his senses. At least enough to make you end up with heart-eyes on his cock, your cunt slobberinâ out any time heâs pulling his hips back.
A great splosh! of sap pathetically spilling out from between your legs leaves him crinkling his nose with a shy chuckle. âCute.â Before you know it, his hands lift off of your scalp to wrap one at your throat. The other drifts down somewhere between your legsâŠâYou- ngh, reeeeally want me to fill this pretty pussy up, baby?â
And you canât help but become so-very-honest on his rovering cock, knockinâ against your every sweet spot and aching to knock you up! âYes-â You blurt through tears, âYes, I really- ngh, really want you to.â
âSh-shit, you donât know how many times Iâve dreamt of you saying that.âÂ
You might have been opening your drooling mouth to respond with something, but Chosoâs cutting you off by slithering his slender index and thumb between your pussylips and pinching your cute clit. Youâre moaning loud enough that youâre sure the party downstairs must have heard- âJ-just like that-â Letting your limp limbs twitch with the crackles of pleasure. âJust inside, baby.â
âMhmmm- inside inside- inside.â Chosoâs grunting out after each ravenous roll of his thumb atop your nub. Heâs hitting your pelvis a few more times with his, making the slamming of skin echo out into the room. âBut you better cum fâme first, baby.â
Your eyes snap wide open, âWhy me first-â Speeding up, your g-spot was practically getting bruised by this point.
âCanât you indulge this loser a little and let me make you cummmm again-â He coos, fingers so fast on your clit that they look like nothing but a blur. âSâall Iâve ever wanted ever since I first- ngh, saw you, yâknow? To give this pussy a gooood proper fuckinâ that I knew she wasnât getting- I mightâve been a virgin but I could learn.â
âAnd youâd be the- hah, one to do that?â
Heâs slamming his globular length into your so hard that your tastebuds sizzle, and you swear you can taste his salty pre at your throat. Chosoâs starinâ you deeply into your eyes whilst he fucks you maddeningly, deeply into your eyes whilst he says. âBaby, I already am.â
 As he finishes his filthy sentence, Choso purposefully shortens some of his furious thrusts. Because he didnât even want to wait for the recoil of your spongy womb before heâs pumping in one more, because he wanted to assault your poor throbbing g-spot with his orb piercing. Rubbing and rubbingâ
Until youâre finally crashing into your second high of the night.
Such an incredible sensation that you canât decide which one was better - both of them were the two best in your entire life, however.Â
âHold still-â Choso unplasters his hand from your neck, which then moves down to grip at your waist. To keep your waist pinned down to the creaky mattress, âHold still while I fuh-fuck you like you deserve.â And above all - to let the fat, drivellinâ tip of his cock glide down your g-spot and alllll the way to your womb with absolutely no problem. Again and again. Every peak upon peak being draaaaagged outââHold still while- ngh, ohâŠfuck, I can barely even speak because of her.â
It takes over your body in waves - first your toes that curl, then your thighs that just wonât stop twitching, your heaving chest your muddled mind.
And then finally that mouth of yours that keeps on begging- âNow- now your turn.â Stubbornly, you lock your ankles around the back of Chosoâs neck. Not even halfway through your own orgasm before youâre begging for his, âGonna hold still- so you h-have to do it inside, mâkay, Cho?â
Heâs staring at you with such dazed eyes, âY-yes, maâam.â
Because you always did get what you wanted.
And the tingles of your high have just barely begun to peter out, before theyâre being replaced by the sheer sultry warmth of Chosoâs ivory syrup.
The volume.
The way he was flooding you up with only a few vicious strokes.
It oozes out like a never-ending fountain by his strawberry divot, ending up emptied allllll the way near the back of your womb. âY-yesââ You whine. You pinch Chosoâs nipple and he spurts out just a few more pearly beads of cum, âRight there, Cho, want it all deep inside.â
âF-fuckânghââ Red-hot. Splashing. Entire body bowing into yours, sweat breaking out across his skin. He scrunches his eyes shut and lets the powerful bliss overtake him, âOh my god it just feels so- hck! Sâeven better than I imagined cumming inside you- oh.â
You follow the line of his bleary sight- only to find that Choso was staring where you both were connected.
Your swollen folds. The ring of white âround his base.
The fatness of his thumb hovers right down to smear away that cute gloss of white, slurp! âExcept in my, mmm, dreams, it was more likeââ Though it was for no use, because Chosoâs free hand only presses down on your stomach anyway. Until his creamy white cum oozes out of you in slick layers, â-this.â
Youâre gaping at the mess heâs made, âAnd you were telling me to h-hold on-â
âI still am.â
Body moved around by him like a ragdoll, heâs using the hand on your stomach to pin you down. Shoving every solid inch of his cock back and forthâChoso thud-thud-thuds at the goopy wetness of your womb with each of his wads.Â
Fucking each one inside you.
Webbing up your insides until your toes curl-
His second hand tilts open your jaw and spits- before kissing you, tongue piercing and all. âWanna take my virginity a second time?â
.
.
.
KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCKâ!
âRise and shineâ! The sun is shining! The grass is green! Your father is back from his trip-â
Now, Choso Kamo will say that he isnât exactly sure what it is that woke him up that morning. Perhaps it was his fatherâs usual morning call, as one of those people that were much too happy in the early hours. Perhaps it was the warmth at this side, the way he doesnât even have to open his eyes to know who it is. Perhaps itâs the way he presses a soft morning kiss on the side of your neck, how it all felt like a dream.
Perhaps itâs the girlish scream.
Two of them. One from his father and one from him.
Sitting up in alarm, Chosoâs dragging his blanket further up your partially-covered bodies. Trying (quite futilely) to perhaps cover the nail marks down his back and shoulders, the hickies all over your body, the way both your mouths were still swollen.Â
Face heating up at Itadori Jinâs wide, gawking eyes from the doorway, âD-dad!â And you start to stir at Chosoâs yelp, âDad, get out-â
âR-right away!â
BANG!
As the thunderous sound of the door closing, youâre lurching up in his bed. Now fully awake, you pull the sheets to your chest. Words nothing but a whisper- sore with all the overuse from last night, âTell me what I think just happened didnât just happenâŠâ
Choso opens his mouth to answer (maybe lie and forget this ever happened)-
Before thereâs a rapid knock and the door swings wide open once more.
Jinâs pinkish hair makes an appearance, and he keeps his eyes trained shamefully on the floor. Choso starts to protest. You yelp- âBreakfast is downstairs and Iâve made enough for everyone so please stay, okay bye!â He announces over your two voices, and promptly slams the door shut once again.
And youâre left in the silent wake of itâfloor rumbling with the vibrations of the door, loud enough that you think you could hear your two thumping heartbeats. Oh my godâŠ.
Chosoâs the one to break the silence - he kisses you chastely on the lips. âI uh- first day as a couple is going smoothly?â
Sitting up in alarm, Chosoâs dragging his blanket further up your partially-clothed bodies. At some point in the night youâd gotten up to make yourselves somewhat presentable and help Yuji clean up after the party. And at some point in the night youâd also kept getting handsy in his roomâŠ
It doesnât take you too long to throw on whatever t-shirt and pyjama pants that Choso hands your way, before admiring just how cute you looked in his clothesâŠalright maybe it did take long before the two of you were finally ready to make an appearance downstairs. But only because he kept insisting on kisses!
The kitchen quietens down at your entrance, and youâre setting sights on a man that must be no other than Chosoâs grandpa- right along with another, younger, one who was the spitting image of Jin. Just slightly rougher around the edges. Tattoos. Piercings- ah, you understood where Choso mustâve gotten his style influenced from.
Youâre at their round breakfast table, with his uncle (Sukuna, you hear) on your right, and Choso on your left. The dark-haired man reaches over and runs a hand down your thigh soothingly once conversation starts back up-
âHow do you like your eggs, my dear?â Jin asks you, and when you answer he instantly gets to work - waving off your urgent requests to help. âNo no- sit, sit! Youâre the guest! I always have told Cho here to treat his guests- not that he ever brought anyone over, youâre the first!â
âCertainly- treated her well-â Sukuna coughs out the words only to get elbowed by Wasuke and flicked with egg by Jin. Batting away the concoction, he looks at you by way of explanation. âIâm not a regular uncle, Iâm a cool uncle.â
Jin starts up another batch for you, âBut anyways- I know weâre just getting to know each other now, my dear, but I do want to thank you for taking care of him.â
âThe pleasureâs all mine.â You meet Chosoâs eyes, and he blushes.
âAwwwwwââ Jin, whoâd been there to witness the entire thing, starts to flutter about in excitement. He didnât even care that the eggs were starting to burn- âYou two are just dears! Oh, is it too late to show you the baby photographs- tell me itâs not too late!â
Not sure what to say, âI uhâŠâ
âOh, itâs alright- Iâll just show you the middle school pictures for today and we can save the baby pictures forâŠalso today.â Without waiting for your response, Jinâs disappearing somewhere into the living. Spatula and all. âYuji, whereâs your camera again, my dear?â
Yuji, whoâd been shooting smug looks at you two ever since youâd entered calls out- âShould be uh- on the couch?â
And for a second, thereâs a moment of peace.
Only for a second, however, you have to remember that this is the Itadori household that youâre in.Â
And Itadori Jinâs voice thunders from outside the kitchenââChoso Kamo. Itadori Yuji. Get to the TV room this- instant!â A shiver goes down your own spine despite not being called out, and you wondered just what made the sweet man sound this way.
As a group, everyone in the kitchen rushes along with the boys.
Only to find Jin standing with the camera, plugged into the television, and its screen displayingâ
Choso pouring a mountain of shots on their very kitchen table.
Jin deadpans, âChosoâŠcan you explain to me what you are doing in this photo?â
Choso squints at the screen, âThatâs not me.â
âThatâs not you?â
ââŠNope.â
âOkay.â Jin replies easily, âHow about these?â
Shuffling through the pictures on the camera - and you have to hold in a nervous laugh at the shots upon shots of shots, of Chosoâs band playing at the party last night, of all the rambunctious students dancing, of a few smashed vases that was likely no one but Jinâs - and then, finally, heâs stopping on one.
One of you and Chosoâdancing.
So close.
Your foreheads pressed together
Smiles only for one another.
In the peripherals of the shot, you could see people starting to whisper and hoot at the two of you, you could see your own friends squealing excitedly at the fact that itâd finally happened. But there seemed to be a strange world of your own there that no one else could quite penetrate. Chosoâs eyes were just sparkling.
He giggles, âHeheh, thatâs meâŠâ

You and yuji kind of have a private ritual you two do whenever the other or both of you has had a hard day. A showerâtogether. And this time, you had a terrible day. I mean you could hardly get up to shower, you laid on the floor for atleast an hour when you came home, wanting the floor to swallow you whole.
But that was until yuji came in, he had buttered you up with his sweet words, kissed your neck with a few pecks, picked out your pjs for the nightâyour favorite matching set. âCome on,â he murmurs, âIâll even let you turn the shower blazing hot even though I despise it.â
And thatâs how you two ended up in the shower.
đŐ Üž.ËŹ.ÜžŐđŠŻ
Heâs washing your back and pressing kisses against your shoulder. âI love you alot.â he murmurs, and you can only smile as you feel your soapy back rest against his chest. Words couldnât express your feelings right now anyways, but you did love, you loved him alot. Especially right now.
âDo you love me back?â He questions, his fingers trace your back, writing something with the soap. âI love youâ
âHa, yes yuji.â you smile, âI love you, so much.â You spin around facing him, and he bends down and presses a kiss to the top of your head. âtell me about your day!â he exclaims, âoh and can you get my back?â there was the hyper yuji you know.
You feel your lip quiver as you scrub his back, soap spilling over your hands. âit was awful.â your voice shakes, And thatâs what prompts yuji to turn around. He pouts as he sees your sadden expression. âaw baby.â he brings you into a wet soapy hug, you two are skin to skin and he can feel your body physically relax.
âHeyâyou can cry.â and it takes those three words for your tears to spill. You cry in his chest, body shaking. His fingers softly rub up and down on your back, Biting his bottom lip.
Yuji is usually unserious but he canât stand seeing you like this. It makes him almost want to cry. Heâs stands in thought as you shake in his arms. And he can feel tears start up in his eyes as well, but he immediately wipes them.
âBaby,â he murmurs and you lift your head up. âWanna go grab some ice cream? And then hit up the beach, hm?â He has those pleading starry eyes. You smile through your tears before fully laughing, and thatâthat caused yuji to stop, and admire.
âI love youâagain and over and over, and forever.â he murmurs more to himself as he sees your smile. âhm?â you say asking what he said, âuh so is that a yes?â and you nod, a smile.

âOnce upon a time, in a land far, far away, where not even the birds visited, there was a castle. And in this castle lived a very, very anxious princess. Her heart was always beating so fast and she couldnât help paying attention to the smallest details. Everything in the castle had to be perfect. Floral arrangments, the colourful jewels, her royal manners. Each place in the castle was carefully examined. Each place, except her room.
Her room was her safe space and it didnât have any hard edges. Only pillows, the finest silks from all over the world and a biiig, comfy bed. It was so big, it reached from one wall to the otherââ
âAnd it had lots of plushies.â
âAnd it had lots of plushies, yes. Bunnies and puppies, furry friends.â
Yuji lies back on the blanket, sprawling out like a happy starfish, though he makes sure to leave space for you. The open skyâdark, lit up by many starsâyawns back at him over the field of grasses and clovers. This is a place away from Tokyo, with no artificial light around to pollute the air. Perfect for stargazing.
The boy stares upwards, silently naming constellations as you go on with your little story. And by naming constellations, itâs more accurate to say he is renaming them. He has no idea what formations heâs seeing. He just comes up with random titles. Archerâs bow. Big square. Flower One and Flower Two.
âWhy was the princess anxious?â He interrupts, unable to wait for the details. You reply patiently.
âWell⊠there was a scary, angry dragon living in the castle too. It blew fire at the smallest sign of trouble. The floorboards always rattled under its weight when it jumped in frustration. And it did mean things to anyone who got in its way.â
You pause to glance at your kohai, to check if heâs still following you. He is. Yuji blinks at you, his expression attentive, drinking up your every word.
He watches you, not only because heâs interested in the bedtime story but also because talking for this long is a big challenge for his sleepy senpai.
Your eyes are half-lidded and you breathe a bit less evenly than usual but there is determination in how much effort you put into pronouncing the words correctly.
No slurring and biting off chunks of endings this time. For the experience.
âSo, the princess made sure to always do everything right. She paid attention to how she breathed. She didnât show emotions that could upset the dragon. And she always worked hard to make the dragonâs life easier.â
Yujiâs lips pull into a small pout. âThat sounds exhausting.â
âIt does, doesnât it?â
Soft wind blows over the field, making all the plants rustle against each other, as if they themselves were whispering about your bedtime story. Maybe judging your narration skills, maybe discussing the plot.
âAnd still, the dragon became upset a lot. It screamed, it set fire to precious, fancy furniture and even the Princessâ favourite tiara. It threw gold around in anger. The Princess always worried⊠what could be next? What will I do wrong the next time?â
âI donât think the Princess is at fault here,â Yuji cannot keep himself from interrupting again. He sees unfairness and he has to speak up.
âYou think so?â
âYes, senpai.â
You allow yourself to smile weakly at that. Itâs lovely how much Yuji is engaging with this tale.
âWell, the dragon always banished the princess to her room, where she cried and cried but ultimately, she was left alone there. In her dreamy little bubble of soft textiles, where she was able to sleep peacefully.â
You pause once again, catching your breath. This is the most youâve talked in weeks and youâre a bit out of practice. Besides, Yujiâs presence is not helping. He just feels too safe and youâre tempted to fall asleep, knowing youâll be in good hands. But he was asking for a story so politely. You have to make this trip a nice memory for him.
âSoon, she learned to stay in her room, out of the dragonâs sight and slept more and more to avoid feeling so scared all the time. All the labour was tiring her out too⊠so her heart, so small and fragile, decided to always be sleepy, to always pull the Princess back to her quiet room.â
âWhat happened then?â
âThen, one day, a knight with white hair and shining armor arrived and he said to the dragon, I am here to take the Princess away! The dragon wasnât happy at all about that. It blew fire, it shriekedânothing stopped the knight. He was victorious. Oh, but the Princess, so sleepy, she didnât even notice any of it.â
âDid she sleep through her own rescue mission?â Yuji asks and you can tell his lips are curling into a smile. He lets out a breath against your shoulder, entertained by the thought of someone not even being aware theyâre being saved. âHeh, thatâs so silly.â
âSilly indeed.â
There is a beat of silence as you collect your thoughts.
âWe can take a break, senpai.â
You inhale, exhale, and inhale again, your eyelids come down to rest just for a few seconds. Going back to sleep sounds so tempting. And itâs not easy to tell this story, even with realityâs fragile edges wrapped in the protective embrace of metaphors. You take a peek to the side.
Yuji looks so peaceful next to you. The universeâs shining stars are reflected in his wide eyes, his pink locks now a dull grey in the darkness of the night and heâs being so, so patient. âItâs okay. Where was I?â
âThe knight rescued the princess.â
âAh, right. The knight. He brought her to a different castle. He invited wizards and witches from all over the world to heal the princessâ anxious little heart but no one was able to cast a spell that proved useful. Her heart said no every time. So the princess remains sleepy forever.â
There is another beat of silence. Yuji waits, thinking the story will continue, that a lesson or a plot twist is going to turn everything around. But from the lilt of your voice, it sounds like youâre done here.
âThatâs it?â
âThe end.â
âWhat about the happily ever after?â Yuji turns his head properly now, propping himself up slightly on one elbow to look down at you with open disbelief, brows knit together.
You let out a weak, breathy laugh, too tired to defend your storytelling choices. âItâs up for interpretation by the audience.â
âItâs sad.â
âHappens sometimes.â
Yujiâs frown is so deep now, you wonder if heâs going to start crying. Whether he has figured out the connections or not, youâre unsure but either way, the story seems to be causing him genuine distress.
âHey, hey, Itadori,â you reach up to cradle his face with one hand, fingertips grazing his cheekbone. âItâs okay. The princess still feels much better.â
Yujiâs frown softens under your touch, but only slightly. His warm hand comes up to cover yours where it rests against his cheek, holding it there for more comfort and sneakily feeling your heartbeat on your wrist. Too slow when youâre tired. Too fast when youâre actually awake.
A single, small tear rolls down his cheek, just one. It disappears as fast as it came and Yujiâs waterline starts drying up after letting that droplet free.
âBut sheâs still sleepy forever,â he points out quietly. His voice is gentle, but thereâs something wounded in it too. âAnd nobody could help her heart.â
For a moment, neither of you speaks.
Above, the stars continue their ancient glittering, endless and indifferent, while the grass sways around you in soft waves like a green ocean on land. Somewhere nearby, crickets sing their chorus, a finishing postlude.
âItâs not fair, senpai.â
âYou think so?â You ask quietly. Your fingers trail up to his hair and you ruffle through his locks, though itâs more like a gentle scratching.
âThe story needs a sequel,â Yuji announces with conviction. âSorry, but Iâm going to give it a better ending because senpai is really bad at making up stuff.â
âOh?â You murmur, voice already growing softer, sleepier, as Yuji carefully takes over.
âYes,â he says firmly, shifting onto his side so he can look at you properly, like this is very serious business. âBecause obviously, the story doesnât end there.â
You hum, indulgent. âObviously.â
Yuji nods once, satisfied, then clears his throat dramatically. âSo⊠the princess stayed in the new castle, right? And even though it was safer, and the dragon was gone, her heart was still really scared. Because hearts can be kinda dumb sometimes.â
âRight.â
âWell⊠the knight with white hair and shining armor⊠he actually had a tiger cub.â
âDid he now?â
âYes. He had a pet tiger. And also a pet wolf cub. And a pet panda. And⊠actually, he just had lots of pets. And they all wanted to play with the princess. And the tiger cub, it followed the princess everywhere. And the princess,â Yuji continues, his voice animated in that earnest way, âat first, she was too sleepy to really play. Sheâd just sit there in her giant soft bed while the tiger cub climbed all over her and the wolf cub chewed on her blankets.â
A sleepy laugh escapes you, quiet and breathy. âOof. They must have caused quite the ruckus.â
âNo, because they were magical pets,â Yuji insists immediately. âSo they knew when to be gentle.â
âI see.â
Yuji is glad to see you take the narration seriously. Pride and satisfaction blooms in his chest and with a little huff, he falls back against the picnic blanket.
âBut,â he continues after a moment, âthe princess still didnât really feel safe, right? Even with all the magical animals and the knight and stuff.â
You tilt your head slightly toward him, eyelids heavy. âRightâŠâ
âSo the tiger cub noticed.â Yuji nods to himself, as if this is an established fact of the universe. âAnd the tiger cub was likeââthis is unacceptable.ââ
A quiet laugh shakes your shoulders. âThe tiger cub said that?â
âYeah.â
The wind shifts again through the grass, flattening and releasing it in slow waves. Above you, the sharp lines of shining stars fade in and out, the light diffusing into blurry spots. Your limbs are growing heavier. But your kohai is talking now and listening to him seems important. You donât disappear yet.
âWhen the princess was awake, the tiger cub tried to have lots of fun with her. It made the princess feel like being awake wasnât so scary.â
âWow, the tiger cub was trying to pull a Pavlov, eh?â You canât help but resort to using dry humour as a coping mechanism in the face of vulnerability.
Yuji blinks at you.
âPav⊠what?â
He clearly didnât catch that reference at all. His brows knit together in concentration, like if he stares hard enough he can extract meaning from the sound itself. Then he gives up with a small shake of his head.
âAnyway,â he continues, refusing to be derailed, âThe princess learned not to be so scared. Slowly. Like a snail. But it was fine because tigers are actually super patient.â
âYou know a lot about tigers,â you mumble but Yuji doesnât even react this time.
âAnd when the princess was visited by those wise wizards and witches again, they listened to her heart and they said, wow, Princess, your heart is beating better now. And they said, they said, you have such a cool and amazing tiger cub, itâs really awesome-sauce.â
Yuji pauses after âawesome-sauce,â clearly pleased with himself and the turn he created in the fairytale. Glancing at you, he can see your eyes are barely open and youâre slipping into unconsciousness.
âAnd the princess and the tiger and the wolf and the knight, they all lived happily ever after.â
âMm, thank you, that was quite the ending,â you slur out, your hand going limp in Yujiâs. He keeps his fingers closed around yours even after your muscles have slackened.
He stays quiet as he watches your eyes close completely, your lips part and your head tilt to the side.
âGood night, Princess Senpai.â
Yuji doesnât move for a while.
The only thing that changes is his grip on your hand. He rubs his thumb into your knuckles, folding and bending your fingers to rub out the tension. The grass keeps whispering. The stars keep burning. The boy has to suppress the urge to curl up around you.
âOkay,â he says under his breath, like heâs continuing the story even though the audience has fallen asleep. âSo the princess is safe. And sheâs not in the scary castle anymore. And⊠her heart is still kinda tired, but itâs getting better.â
From somewhere in the distance, an owl calls once. Yuji glances toward the sound, then back at you.
âYou did good today,â he adds quietly, softer now that thereâs no need to perform anything for the story. âEven if you got sleepy in the middle.â
Yuji is well aware he might be a little naive. Recovery as slow as snail? Itâs hard, progress is not noticable, unless compared to the starting point. He doesnât want to think about what it first must have been like for the princess. She must have slept for days.
He decides to just focus on the more fun moral of the story, which is that every sleepy princess needs their little tiger cub.

summary: yuji had always lived an ordinary boring lifeâ stagnant and all the same, his every day routine consisting of uneventful forgetful events that he simply just absentmindedly lived through without a real motive, feeling like there wasnât anything special to him that was worth recognition or remembrance⊠until you that isâ your pretty trembling self shaking in the middle of the road amidst a rainy day, yuji lending you a gentle helping hand with heart filled eyes and a grin to his face, for you were just so beautiful⊠mesmerizing⊠and a real life angel with wings, vowing from that day forward to keep you safe and figure out a way to get you home.

heavenâs messengers were never meant to linger among the living.
so how you ended up in front of yujiâ delicate and cold, frightened and confused and you with absolutely no recollection as to how you ended up in a place like this to begin with?
was something he was eternally grateful for.
âholy shit are youâ are you okay?!â
yuji shielded his eyes from the pouring rain, his vision fucking blurry with thick droplets of water coating his lashes that he rapidly tried to blink away, your hunched over body on the pavement and drenched white dress utterly alarming him as he whipped his head around for anything that could explain to him as to exactly why you were justâ alone and in the middle of the fucking streetâ
âare you hurt?! doâ do you have anyone with you?! i donâtâ hold on wait pleaseââ
yuji quickly looked both ways for incoming vehicles before bolting over to the side of the road to his car, it sat there with the driver side door open and his hazard lights blinking from when he fucking swerved upon seeing your frame on the ground, him quickly popping open the trunk and snatching his umbrella from underneath piles of straight up garbage, slamming it shut and running straight back over to you after.
âdo you need me to call anyone?!â he ripped open the velcro and shook his umbrella open, holding it out over you to shield you from the icy rain. âiâ i have my phone in the car i canââ
and it was then that yuji realized you had wings.
had you⊠had you just come from a costume party? a halloween party maybe? an angel and devil themed party whatâ
but costume parties in general werenât common in the middle of fucking june.
âcan you stand?! hâhere take off your wings so you canââ
yujiâs arm timidly extended and shot back just as soon as he heard you whimper and cower away, one of your wings opening and fluttering wildly in distress while the other stayed put bleeding, the motion so wide and forceful that a gentle gust of cold wind blew over yujiâs wet face, your head snapping up for the first time to look at him that night.
and it was then that yuji realized you were beautiful.
a woman unlike anything he had ever seen⊠a picture-perfect fucking canvas with the prettiest face and the prettiest lips, the prettiest nose and the prettiest softest cheeks and the prettiest eyes and the prettiest everything.
but the sound of cars rolling in the distance from the street over pulled him from his idiot drooling trance, the severity of the situation weighing heavy on his shoulders without any means of warning or sympathy.
you were an angel.
and yuji could try to make sense of the matter at hand as much as he wanted to, try to make sense as to why there was an actual literal angel laying in front of him, or why you landed here of all places, or how you managed to get down here to begin with or why it was him of all people to find you.
it wouldnât change the fact that you were a helpless, injured, and vulnerable little thing.
you mustâve been so afraidâŠÂ
and he could see it clear as day with the way you shook like a little leaf under his gaze, your eyes darting around in alarm and slowly scooting back to get away from him, yuji following you in response and taking cautious steps forward to keep you dry under the umbrella, a desperate and concerned expression on his face.
âiâitâs okay!â he took another step forward just as soon as you took another scooch back. âyouâre okay! youâre okayââ
you winced and sniffled then, head snapping down to your injured wing that radiated all over with stinging throbbing pain, trying your best to suppress your tears over a feeling that youâd never experienced before in your fucking life, all while at the same time perplexed and horrified at the unfamiliar environment surrounding you, one that only seemed to suffocate you in by the minute.
what happened? why were you here?Â
why werenât you home?
âiâm sorry! iâm sorryâŠâ
yuji halted, his unoccupied hand stopping midway from reaching out to you.
âiâm sorryâŠâ he repeated. âbutâ but youâre hurt, okay?â
he timidly pointed to your bleeding wing, your eyes following.
âhurt⊠do you see?â
yuji figured that you probably couldnât understand him.
and you didnât, but you tried your best to follow his words and movements anyways, filling in the missing pieces with context clues that could point you towards the right direction, frantically attempting to figure out if the strange human man in front of you was of malicious intent⊠or was just purely kind.
but from what you were taught by the gods⊠they almost never were.
âi wonât hurt you.â he shook his head, swallowing down the thick bundle of nerves in his throat. âi promise you iâ i just want to help! okay?â
you warily eyed him, your hand raising to wipe away your shiny tears with the heel of your palm, the action making yujiâs eyes soften and only push the need to get you out of the thunderous fucking rain on acid.
âpleaseâŠâ he slowly bent down to your level and held the umbrella over you entirely, you completely protected under its shelter now and yuji drenching himself in exchange. âplease let me help youâŠâ
help.
you didnât know what that word meant.
but with the way the pink haired manâs voice shook with every plead he gave you, and with the way he was practically drowning in the rain right now just so you would be shielded from it⊠made you think that maybe the wordâ was a good one.
that he was a good one.
âhâhelp?â
the unexpected little squeak of your voice made his eyes widen, and he quickly nodded, a smile growing on his face.
âyes!â he gently offered his hand out to you again. âyes help! iâ i wanna help!â
could you take this foreign leap of faith and trust him?
what if he wasnât in fact kind at all? what if what the gods have taught you all this time was entirely true?
as much as you wanted the privilege and time of debating it though⊠you felt like you didnât really have a choice with you being in a place that made absolutely no fucking sense to you.
he was all you had.
your uncertain gaze switched back and forth between his offering hand and him, his face dripping and hair absolutely wet⊠but his eyes sweetâ a look you knew all too well and one that was similar to what the gods have given you before, deciding to then give in and hope that he was the exception to the gods teachings and trust him.
you hesitantlyâ slowly, reached out and took his hand, his face lighting up in you doing so before his fingers quickly wrapped around yours, ever so gently pulling you up and you shyly averting your gaze down to the wet pavement beneath your bare feet, him proceeding to lead you to his car while still carefully holding the umbrella over your head as you walked.
yuji thanked god that he had a spare blanket in his trunk, as he frequently had to nap in between lectures in his car to avoid making the commute back to his dorm, his building far as fuck from his classes all year round and stupidly eliminating the privileges of him hopping back over for a bit to rest or eat, choosing to spend his days instead snoring his heart away in the front seat until it was time for lecture.
âiâll be back okay?â yuji opened the passenger side door and helped you inside, you carefully sitting down and curiously looking around over the dash at the different buttons and symbols, amazed at the foreign machinery in front of you.Â
âiâm just gonna get something for youââ
he shut the door and quickly went over to the back to pop it open, snatching his yellow fuzzy blanket and slamming the trunk closed before getting in the car through the drivers side, closing his umbrella and giving it a little shake, throwing it to the backseat after.
âitâs a blanket.â he explained softly, unfolding it and shaking it out as you scanned the pretty color, him lifting it up then and gently draping it over your shoulders. âto keep you warm.â
yuji reached to turn on the ignition and cranked up the heater to the highest degree, hands and arms moving swiftly to adjust every vent so that they all faced you despite him being soaked, its warm cozy air blowing over your face and helping immensely with your little chilly shivers and trembles.
you sank further into your seat and let out a tiny sigh through your nose, feeling at ease and one hundred times better than how you felt when you were stranded in the middle of the street, the icy rain hitting your skin over and over.
and it was all thanks to himâŠ
âhelp.â
your head snapped up upon hearing him speak that familiar word, seeing his eyebrows pinched together in concern as he pointed to your left side, your gaze shifting to where he was indicating and realizing you were subconsciously clutching your injured wing closer to your body with the blanket.
âi think i have a first aid kit.â yuji chewed on his bottom lip in thought. âi hope⊠but if not iâll go out and buy one okay?â
you tilted your head cutely to the side, your perplexed pretty expression pitifully mushing up his heart and it reminding him that you couldnât really understand him, a soft closed lipped smile spreading across his face then.
âhelp.â yuji pointed to your injured wing once more. âi want to help fix your wing.â
there was that word again.
and with each time he said it, the more and more you began to understand its meaning, and the more and more you began to adore it.
a breathtaking smile of your own crossed over your gorgeous fucking face, one that took yuji completely by surprise and made him absolutely swoon, him going straight up red in the cheeks with clammy hands and a rapidly beating heart.
âhelp.â you repeated after him, and he nodded with a cheeky grin.
âyeah! thatâs right angel!â
angel.
was that you?
yuji pushed his gear into drive and accelerated on, the realization of having an absolute ethereal woman in his car next to him finally sinking into his brain and making him gulp, his cheeks still beet red with pursed lips as he nervously gripped the steering wheel for dear fucking life, cursing everything in his entire existence for under preparing him in this situation, for he had never felt the touch of a woman let alone interacted with one ever.
he had never had a girlfriend or anything remotely freaking close to it, besides countless failed dates that he fumbled for being a moron.
and you sitting there next to him, the prettiest girl he had ever seen with big doey eyes looking around his car and out the window in complete wonder, a pure little smile to your lips and a natural heavenly aura to you that shook him to his core?
yuji felt like a fucking loser.
âare youâ are you warm?â he spoke up, swallowing hard as he held a hand up to the vent to check the temperature.
you turned your head from the window to yuji, looking at him blankly.
âthe air.â he elaborated gently, flipping his hand so the back of it faced the vent. âitâs warm⊠yes?â
your eyes switched to his hand, yours slowly raising to copy his movements to try and make sense of what he was talking about, the puzzle slowly piecing itself together as you felt the soft air slip and flow in between your fingertips.
âwarmâŠ?âÂ
yuji lit up again and nodded, him excited each time you repeated after him and seemingly understood his words.
âyes! warm!â
you tucked your hand back into the blanket and nodded, copying his mannerisms.
âwarm⊠yes.â
âaw sweet!â he cheered, eyes to the road as he turned on his blinker to make a left, totally impressed with how quickly you picked up on certain phrases. âyouâre really smart angel! hehe.â
and there was that familiar word again⊠Â
one that was different from âhelp.â
âangel?â you asked softly, the sound of your small voice quickly becoming a favorite of his.
âuh huh.â he smiled, pointing at you. âitâs you! angel.â
you pointed to yourself.
âangel.â
yuji nodded in confirmation before pulling into his dorms parking lot and twisting off the ignition, stuffing his keys in his pocket and about to get out of the car until he saw your little finger raise, you pointing at him now.
ââŠwarm?â
you directed your index finger to his damp pink hair and frowned.
âoh! me?â a blush rose to yujiâs cheeks. âiâ iâm okay! weâre home now iâll change and warm up once we get toââ
you began unraveling the blanket from your body and leaning over to drape over his shoulders, yuji gawking at what you were doing and rapidly shaking his head no.
âno angel itâs okay! itâs you that needs it not meââ
âhelp.â you cut him off. âangel help.â
yujiâs heart was about to fucking burst, staring at you wide eyed as you leaned over the console and lifted a bit of the blanket over his head, gently drying his hair and ruffling up his strands with the fuzzy fabric, his pinky cheeks buzzing at your close proximity.
you were so unknowingly kind.
and it made senseâ with you being an angel and allâŠ
so why were you here? had something happened wherever you came from? was there any possible way he could ask you?
âwarm?âÂ
yuji wished so fucking badly that he could ask you...
he blinked. âme?â
you cocked your head to the side and pointed at him.
âme.â
âoh!â yuji breathed out a laugh, shaking his head before pointing at himself. âyuji.â
yuji?
his index finger turned in your direction.
âangel.â
and back to himself.
âyuji.â
oh!
âangel⊠help yuji? warm?â
a soft cutesy smile grew on his face and he flashed you a thumbs up.
âyes! you helped me angel... iâm warm.â
you giggled then and mimicked his thumbs up, the sound of your laugh straight up melodic and pretty and yuji was like pathetic putty in your hands, having to dart his eyes away from you all together and out the windshield to mask his wobbly smile.
it wasnât raining much anymore, and yuji was thankful that it was nearly two in the morning and there werenât many students roaming out and about at this timeâ most already residing in their dorms asleep and making it easier for him to sneak you in without anyone noticing, for the opposite sex wasnât allowed anywhere near the building after hours, nonetheless a fucking angel.
and he couldnât let anyone find out about you.
because though he wanted to protect you and make sure you were okay and safe⊠to heal your wounded wing, he knew others would horrifically want the contrary because you were an extraordinary unearthly being, one that single handedly solidified the existence of actual life in the heavens and forever changed the course of debate for that certain topic.
he was well aware of how cruel his kind could be in comparison to yours, and the thought of someone taking you and using you for their own weird benefit was already making him sick, even if he had just met you.
just by the way you were⊠by how sweet you were and lookedâ amazed at every little thing around you like it held immense speciality to it no matter what it wasâŠ
yuji wanted to keep you that way and get you safely home.
âlisten angel uhââ
he slowly peeled the blanket off from his body and carefully draped it back over your shoulders, the corner of his eye catching the patch of dried blood on your wing as he did so.
âweâre gonna go inside okay?â he placed a gentle hand on top of your head. âbut we have to be sneaky and quiet.â
you innocently blinked up at him, still listening to what he had to say even if it was practically a bunch of gibberish to you.
he was fascinating to look at and listen to.
âyes? help?â he took his palm off your head and held a thumbs up in question, you copying him with another giggle.
âyes!â
he laughed at your response as he craned his body behind and snatched his backpack from the backseat, unlocking his door and getting out before quietly shutting itâ jogging over to your side after while simultaneously peering over his surroundings through the darkness with his backpack on, making sure there wasnât anyone around as he pulled open your door and helped you up.
just as you happily hopped out, the blanket drooped off your shoulders and exposed a little bit of your wings, yujiâs arms shooting out then and tugging the fuzzy fabric entirely over your head, tucking it snug around your neck as he continued to look around in crazed alarm.
âkeep it on like this angel.â he whispered. âdonât let anyone see your wings.â
the way he cartoonishly whipped his head around as he spoke made you laugh, yuji stopping and sending you a bashful smile before reaching over to close the door quietly behind you, hiking the strap of his backpack further up his shoulder and beginning to take a few steps forward, nudging his head to signal you to follow.
you curiously gazed at your surroundings as you both walked toward the main building, the night air cool and misty from the relentless rain of earlierâ air so crisp that you could physically see the batting puffs of your own warm breath in front of you, little swirls of steamy clouds that floated up and dissipated into nothing just as soon as they came, something you hadnât ever witnessed before back home and were astonished by.
yuji fondly stared at you from over his shoulder, an amused smile on his face as he watched you huff out little breaths of air over and over, each time your expression lighting up and your pretty smile growing, it seeming like youâd almost thought you were simply lucky enough to see the shape of your own breath, expecting it to go away after every exhale but happy instead to still see it each time.
cuute!
you both arrived at the entrance and yuji fumbled around the pockets of his jeans for his wallet, him pulling it out and unfolding itâ slipping his glossy student ID card out from a slit before swiping the plastic through the black electric reader on the wall, the device eliciting a tiny beeping noise that made the glowing red light on the reader quickly switch to green, a gentle click going off then that signified the double doors were now unlocked.
yuji continued on inside and led you through the vacant quiet halls of his dormitory, him angling his neck over every new turning point and corner to ensure that there wasnât anyone lurking around as he cautiously proceeded with you, you too busy gazing around excitedly at everything to notice that yuji was practically shitting it, trying to get to his dorm as fast as humanely possible and praying that someone didnât decide to justâ randomly leave their room for whatever fucking reason, or that the resident assistant wasnât lingering about after hours today making rounds to ensure everything was alright in the building.
âweâre nearly thereââ
yuji turned and his eyes blew open, him spinning around upon noticing that you werenât with him anymore, heart dropping and his head jerking around cluelessly in every direction known to mankind. Â
âaâangel?â he shakily whispered.
nothing.
âoh godââ
he shoved his fingers through his hair and quickly began retracing his steps down the hall, wondering when the fuck was it that he lost you orâ or how he even managed to if he was surveilling his surroundings like a damn hawk, worried that he had been too wound up in not wanting to get caught, that you ended up in that position anyways by some random creepy douchebag that happened to spot you and snatch you up behind his back, yuji now agonizing over the thought of having to spend the rest of his freaking life in complete despair and agony over his stupid stupidity and how he actually lost the one precious little thing he managed to findâ
âangel!â
you jumped and looked to the right, yuji standing there at the end of the hall with a hand over his heart and a heaving chest, eyes fluttering shut as his head rolled back in utter relief that he found you in just the hall over that you were both just previously walking through.
what? Â
what happened?
he stepped over to you and you quirked a brow, wondering why he looked so paleâ
âdonât do that angelâŠâ he spoke lowly, tugging at your blanket and gently readjusting it snug around your neck again. âyou have to stay with me⊠okay?â
you pointed to the dorm room in front of you, yujiâs gaze switching and realizing then why you had stopped in the first place.
someone had decorated their front door in a collage of angels, gothic white cathedrals, and anything of the sort that matched the aestheticâ pinned to a bulletin board along with their own personal pictures and knick knacks of their life, your eyes cemented to the photographs of different ethereal angels and milky white clouds.
his eyes softened.
you probably wanted to go home.
âcâmon.â he whispered, wiping a sweaty palm on his jeans before taking your hand. âweâll figure it out. donât worry.â
you let yuji gently pull you away from the board and down the hall, you unable to take your gaze away from the photographs as you looked at them from over your shoulder, a pit forming in your stomach and eyes tearing away once the two of you rounded the corner to the next hall over.
had the gods sent you here on purpose? you thought they hated humans and their kind soâ so what was the meaning behind it?
maybe theyâre justâ angry with youâŠ
but you couldnât think of anything youâd done to make them upset in the first place, your entire life revolving around serving them and being a faithful soul amongst others of your natureâ you being one of the few to have never made a mistake that required even something so little as a slap on the wrist, and you figured it was a good sign that you hadnât turned into a fallen angel as of now and still remained⊠you.
so why the fuck had they banished you?
the sound of soft nervous muttering took you from your thoughts, your gaze landing on yuji dumbly fumbling around in his pockets for his keys before finally locating and pulling them out, his lips wobbly and cheeks pink with widened eyes as he struggled through various keys, trying and struggling to find the one to his dorm like it was the first time he was fucking moving in, and all because he was holding hands with youâ fingers tied and interlaced together with the feeling of your soft little skin against his, something so innocently intimate that it made it hard for him to think about anything else besides how to get his heart to stop skipping beats.
yuji had never held hands with a girl before.
nonetheless one as pretty as you.
he unlocked the door and pushed in, your eyes barely taking in the look about of his dormitory before he was flying forward, your interlocked hands tearing apart as he sped around sweeping up piles of chip bags and pastry boxes and just garbage, along with scattered about dirty laundry that was strewn over pieces of furniture.
âshit!â iâm sorry!ââÂ
he tossed more clothing in the dirty hamper by his closet and kicked in random open drawers, his eyes finding yours and immediately flickering away once you met his bashful gaze, his hand coming up to scratch the back of his neck with a silly smile.
âiâm sorry i wasnât expecting anyone sâ soâ um⊠oh! and itâs midterm week andââ
yuji noticed you looking behind him at something on the wall and stopped, head jerking back and eyes bulging once he realized you were staring at poster he had up of a model in a skimpy bathing suit on the beach, his head comically whipping back in your direction and wanting to fucking choke himself out over the distasteful expression on your face.
why was he fucking like thisâ
âoh god! iâiâm so sorry!ââ
he leapt forward and grasped the top of the poster paper with both hands, ripping it down at the speed of light as you jumped back at the loud tearing noise it made, him quickly crumpling it up into a ball and tossing it in a little trash can under his desk without another word.
âsorry!â he squeaked, hands digging in his hair. âi put it up freshman year and i never took it down but i shouldâve itâs disrespectful and gross iâm sorry iâ i swear iâm not a pervââ
you started giggling and he paused, your musical laughter coming in bunches and uncontrollable as you covered your mouth a little with the fluffy blanket, leaning forward and finding his foreign fast panicked blabbering so fucking funny, unsure of what he was saying or what the word âsorryâ really meant, but thinking it was meaningful when yuji acted so quick to appease you just by the mere frown on your face.
he let out a little breathless laugh, a wavering smile crossing his lips as he reluctantly put his arms down.
âiâm being silly arenât i angel? heh.â
you cocked your head.
âsilly.â you repeated.
âyeah! likeâ like funny? like when you laugh?â
yuji started doing a little fake giggle to elaborate, which only elicited a real one from you.
âfunny!â you spoke in between giggles, his shoulders relaxing as he chuckled along with you.
âthatâs right! funny and silly.â
âsilly yuji.â
his eyes warmed then, giving you a fond look as he nodded.
âi am silly angel...â
your face held the same expression his did then⊠and yuji had to stop himself from thinking anything of itâ hoping instead that he was at least helping you feel better and at home despite his loser pathetic behavior, for he knew that this entire experience you were going through mustâve been terrifying and not comfortable for you in the slightest.
âi promise to try and get you homeâŠâ he spoke softly, his hand raising and landing gently on top of your head. âokay?â
he said that word a lot tooâŠ
âokay.â you mimicked, and he beamed.
yuji spent the rest of the night gently patching up your injured wing in the bathroom before preparing for bedâ him wholeheartedly amazed at them as he cleaned off dried up blood and applied little dabbles of antibacterial ointment to your cut, pulling back and spluttering panicked apologies every time you winced and cowered away from him, your other wing raising and flapping so uncontrollably that it sent his skin care products and mouthwash flying off the sink counter by the burst of air, yuji quick to pick them up and flash you a reassuring kind smile before continuing treating your wing.
and when it came time for bed, yuji handed you a pair of his navy checkered pajama pants and an oversized tee to change into, taking your white dress from you to wash later and making a mental note to somehow get you clothing that fit you better, him feeling a little flustered over the sight of you in his clothes⊠but bad that your wings had to be tucked into his shirt like thatâ hindering your ability to open and stretch them freely whenever you felt like it.
maybe heâd have to ask nobaraâŠ
but how the fuck would he ask her for clothes without also spilling that he had an angel living with him for the time being?
luckily yuji didnât have class the following day, him seeing this as the perfect opportunity to devote the time to figuring out how to get you home and get you the things you needed, his mind entirely preoccupied with making mental checklists for what things to look for or pick up at the storeâ all while splaying out cozy blankets and fluffing out pillows for you to rest in for the night, his own makeshift bed on the floor beside you.
âitâs ready angeââ
you jumped into bed just as he finished with a content little smile, excited as you snuggled into the mountain of plushy blankets he made for you and burying part of your face in his pillow, yuji letting out a little snicker while pulling the blanket up just over your shoulders, reaching for his desk lamp after and tugging it down to switch it off.
youâd always slept comfortably in the heavens.
but for some reason, somehow⊠it felt lovelier in this momentâ more real, with yuji beside you and his weighted blankets engulfing your entire body, feeling the pure sentiments of simply being taken care of and treated so kindly despite the circumstances, for you were just as much of a stranger to him as yuji was to you.
except heâd come to show that the fact didnât matter to him at all.
you were well aware that you had basically just bombarded his life, had forced the task on him of looking after you without giving him a choice or a chance to breathe due to the state you were in when he found you, knowing that it wasnât fair to him at all and feeling guilty for being such a burden to a man so incredibly sweet.
and yet you were glad. selfishly enough.
you were glad that it was him.
âyou comfy there?â he giggled, you peeking at the way his rosy cheeks glowed under the streaks of spilled moonlight through his window.
was this why the gods had banished you? to bring you to him?
butâ but it was confusing⊠so completely and utterly fucking confusing and frustrating that you couldnât make sense of what was happening at the moment no matter how hard you triedâ if this was simply a mistake or done on purpose, if this was the process of becoming a fallen angel or not, ifâ if this was your punishment for doing something wrong you just didnât. know.
but the gods hated humans. that was for certain.
the gods have always hated humans and they always will, and you knew that they didnât just devote their entire lives teaching you and the others of your kind the reasons why human nature was bleak and sinful, why they were rotten and good for nothing creatures with malicious alibis that only served to benefit themselves, why angels would always and forever be a target and would never be anything else but thatâ for nothing.
so if they did banish you on purposeâŠ
why did they bring you to the only exception?
âangelâŠ?â
you missed your sisters.Â
you missed your brothers.
you missed the gods.
why had they abandoned you? what didâ what did you do?
âheyâŠâ
you hiccuped, your hands quickly coming up to shield your face just as you felt an embarrassing flood of tears well in your eyes, trying your best to hold them in but feeling a few slipping nonetheless, your shoulders trembling as you sniffled.
maybe youâd just failed them all.
âangel whatâs wrong?âŠâ
yuji slowly got down on his knees and set his arms on the edge of the bed, a sad expression on his face as he watched you hiccup and cry, the sight awful and his mind scrambling around trying to find a way to make you happy again, him wishing so fucking badly that you could justâ tell him what was wrong⊠and you wishing for it equally.
you wished more than anything to be able to communicate with him freely and understand him without this bullshit barrier between the both of you.
âplease donât cryâŠâ he frowned, placing a hand on the top of your head and rubbing small circles on your forehead with his thumb. âdo youâ do you miss home? is that what it is? or are you uncomfortable? iââ
what was he saying?
you only cried harder and he faltered.
âis itâ is it me?â he spoke softly. âdo you want me to go away?â
but he didnât want to go away.
and yujiâs brain somehow figured that that mustâve been the reason why you were upset, him reluctantly getting up on his feet through your hiccups and retracting the hand on your head, swallowing hard and about to reach for his keys to go god knows where⊠but stopping once he felt your familiar soft hand quickly catch his wrist, grip firm.
âyuji help.â you mumbled through your sniffles.
he blinked, shoulders relaxing a bit as he shifted his body to face you properly.
âhelp..?â he replied.Â
you nodded.
yuji let out a small sigh through his nose.
âi do wanna help angel⊠iâm trying.â
you pursed your lips to the side, racking your brain for more phrases that could potentially help you convey what you were trying to say, pointing to yourself after.
âyuji.â
he quirked a brow and raised an index finger to his chest, jabbing it.
âbut iâm yuji..?â
you shook your head and copied his actions, tapping your chest with your little finger before patting the open space next to you on the bed.
âyuji⊠yuji angel.â
heat quickly rose to his cheeks and he nearly choked.
âhah! hm? whatâ what do you meanââ
you laughed and shook your head again, patting the spot next to you.
âyuji angel.â
did you want him to stay? did you want him to sleep in the same bed?
âoh! oh i seeâŠâ he murmured, scratching the back of his neck then as he nervously looked around the room at everything but you. âi see i see.â
you wiped the remnants of your tears and tugged at his wrist, yuji allowing his body to move a bit forward until his thighs met the edge of the bed, unsure if sleeping in the same bed with you wasâ was respectful or okay given your situation no matter how much he actually maybe did want to complyâŠ
he also didnât know if his heart could even fucking handle it.
âyouâ you sure angel?â he chewed on the inside of his cheek. âi donât know if you know what youâre askingââ
you gave him another forceful tug and he toppled over the bed, him having to quickly catch himself with an arm to break his fall as you simultaneously scooched over, your body closer to the wall now to give him some roomâ pouting and still pulling softly on his wrist in hopes that heâd come lay with you.
he let out a breathless laugh and shakily nodded.
âoâokayâŠâ
you visibly lit up as he pulled back the covers and carefully slipped under, his hands embarrassingly sweaty and neck hot as he shifted and got comfortable, the two of you facing each other and finding that you were both still able to outline the shapes of your facial features despite the fuzzy darkness, yujiâs expression softening at the sight of you evidently relaxing the minute his body shielded you from everything else, your back to the wall and eyelids already sleepily fluttering shutâ you seemingly struggling to stay awake and meet his gaze with every passing second.
you were probably afraid⊠and rightfully so.
because you wereâ you using him as a form of shield and shelter as you were comforted by the fact that he was there with you, warding the paranoia off and purely happy with the thought of him keeping you safe and away from harm⊠healing you and nurturing you back to health like heâd been doing the moment he found you.
you had never slept as good in the heavens as you did next to yuji, and whether it was due to his fuzzy weighted blankets or the cool soft breeze that kissed your cheeks every time it floored in through his open window, you didnât know.Â
you didnât know anything.
but yuji felt like the one thing you sort ofâ did.
and you preferred his bed over the mountains of misty clouds that engulfed you in the heavens.
âstrawberry with kiwi? or strawberry with banana?â
the next couple of weeks were a fucking breezeâ you thinking that being ripped away from home and from the only things you knew would be mentally detrimental and draining for you every minute you spent on earth, but it proving to be the exact freaking opposite with each time yuji brought home a sweet little treat for you to try from being out all day in lectures, or when he attempted to modify his wardrobe almost every night to appease your wings and let them flutter freely, or when he just simply made sure you always had the things you needed and wanted to ensure you were absolutely comfortable each and every single day, even finding ways for you to get some fresh air while avoiding anyone seeing youâ midnight strolls and picnics under the twinkling stars.
or even now, him making you a sugary fruit bowl as a snack on his day off from class, letting you choose between different fruit combos and syrupy toppings, a silly grin on his face as he showed you each item and placed them on the small kitchen island in front of you, you sitting happily on a stool across and eyes darting all over the table.
âoh fuck wait! waitââ
you looked up and saw him cartoonishly dive for the fridge, opening it up and scrambling through the contents inside before pulling out what he needed.
âi got more grapes! for you!â he stood upright, shut the fridge with his foot and plopped the big bag on the counter, your eyes immediately lighting up as he tugged it open and started plucking a few from its stems. âyou liked these right? the green ones?â
you smiled brightly and quickly nodded, leaning over the counter as your eyes greedily peered over the bag, yuji matching your smile.
you understood a lot more of what he was saying as time went on, and yuji was always psyched out by how fast you picked up on certain frequent words and phrases, you stronger at comprehending his sentences and listening rather than forming sentences of your own, but the progress still impressive and far greater than what it was when he first met you, hoping that the toddler language learning books he bought for you were somewhat contributing to your speed, and that you didnât think he just looked like a total dumbass handing them to you.
and while you spent most of your time learning his language⊠yuji spent his time learning youâ your mannerisms, your likes and dislikes, what he needed to do to get you to giggle just so he could secretly swoon over it, him quickly discovering that no matter how drastic or dense the language barrier was between you both, he precisely always had to try and explain to you what was going on or the things he had to do for the day that required his absence, for the very first time he stupidly left you behind in his dorm to attend a five hour lecture without even giving you a fucking warning, he came back to find you sobbing your little heart out and cowering away in a tiny corner on his bed, trembling and springing onto him the minute he rushed over to your side to see what was wrong, you at your wits end terrified and thinking that he had gotten sick of you and left you just like the gods had done.
you had grown resentment for themâ funnily enough. and you never thought youâd ever feel that way about the gods and be⊠bitter.
it was an odd feeling to have the desire to bite the sacred hands that fed you.
but yuji had spent the rest of that night wiping your shiny tears and suffocating you in his arms with zero means of letting go, the guilt absolutely eating him the hell alive over what he had done, and wondering what in the ever living fuck caused him to think it was smart of him to just up and leave without telling your pretty self anything beforehand.
âgrapes!â you cheesed, watching him drop various handfuls of them in a bowl and stepping off to the side, turning on the faucet sink to give them a little wash.
âyummyyy!â
and though that night he nearly couldnât take the heavy feeling of his heart tightening at your refusal to leave his side⊠he loved the way you clung to him, you doing so from that day forward and birthing an everlasting drive in yuji to always protect you the best way he knew howâ regardless if it was from the silliest of things, and regardless if he was too much of a loser himself to pull it off.
he learned that even angels could be clingy to beings as simple as humans. to beings as simple as him.
âyeah yummy!â he nodded, picking up a grape in between his fingers and shaking it off, tiny droplets flicking about before he stretched his arm out, offering the fruit to you with a grin. âtry one for me? i tried them at the store and they werenât sour⊠but maybe i just got lucky with a sweet one and the others taste like shitââ
yuji froze just as you craned your neck down and literally vacuumed the grape up with your mouth, the feeling of your soft plushy lips wrapping around his fingers one that was foreign and godly, his arm still lingering in the air as he watched you chew on the little piece of fruit and flash him a cute closed lipped smile, giving him a thumbs up.
âsweet.â you hummed, chewing some more. âno sour.â
âhuh?â he cocked his head. âoh! oh yeah good! goodâŠâ
why was he like this.
why was he such a virgin fucking boy.
yuji grabbed the bowl from the counter and tilted it to pour a few grapes to the fruit salad he was making you, proceeding to move handfuls of previously sliced strawberries from the cutting board to drop them in, him peering up at you every so often to see if you still liked the bundle of mixed fruits he had arranged and that he wasnât accidentally putting in something you didnât likeâ drying off his hands with a nearby kitchen towel after and setting them on his hips in accomplishment.
âokay!â he breathed out. âwhat toppings angel?â
he nudged his head toward the array of syrup bottles on the counter, smiling kindly.
âyou want honey? chocolate? hazelnut?â
you chewed on your bottom lip in thought, knowing that youâd only really tried honey before with your fruit salads⊠and you recognized chocolate from that one time yuji brought home a brownie for you, wondering if the similarity in color alongside hazelnut meant it tasted the same or maybe a little differentâŠ
but if you chose hazelnut simply to try something new, you risked the chances of ruining the cute little fruit blend he kindly made for youâŠ
yuji laughed at your focused expression, reaching forward to gently smooth out the crease between your brows with the pad of his index finger, your eyes flickering up to his just as he sent you a soft smile.
âitâs okay angel!â he set his hand down on the edge of the counter. âyou can try a sample of each to see which one youâre in the mood for today, yeah?â
he reached, rolled out a drawer and picked up a fork, stabbing a piece of strawberry from the bowl while reaching for the chocolate syrup bottle, uncapping it and squeezing a little droplet on the reddish fruit before holding it out to you.
âi know you like honey...â he lifted the fork a bit more. âbut i think you might like chocolate better than all three though, hehe!â
you pointed to the strawberry.
âchocolate?â
âyeah! chocolate.â
you leaned forward and yuji carefully fed you the fruit, your lips enclosing around the fork before gently pulling back, munching and letting the sweetness of it coat your taste buds as you sat back and processed it.
and just like youâd thought earlier, it tasted just like the brownieâ if not a little lighter and less tangy. smoother.
it was yummy.
yuji tilted his head and craned his neck down a bit to meet your gaze.
âdoâ do you like it?â he asked warily. âiâm sorry if you donât angel i didnât mean to give you something nastyâŠâ
âsweet!â
âsweet?â he relaxed, stabbing another strawberry and picking up the hazelnut syrup bottle this time, uncapping it and squeezing some just like heâd done before. âit is! this one shouldnât be too bad thenââ
he fed you the next strawberry and you excitedly complied, expecting something similar to the one you just had and eager to discover a new round of flavor that didnât exist in the heavens, beginning to chew and register the taste and tell him that it was the best thing youâd ever had exceptâ
it was fucking nasty.
you scrunched your face and coughed, your hand coming up to cover your mouth as you struggled to swallow whatever the hell you just had, yuji dropping the fork and it clattering on the counter as he hurriedly looked around for something to help you pass it down, him flinging himself across the kitchen to the fridge and yanking it open to rummage through.
âiâm sorry!â he pleaded. âiâm sorry iâm sorryââ
he tore out a water bottle from a multi pack and slammed the fridge door shut, making his way around the counter to you as he hurriedly uncapped the bottle, carefully handing it over and you taking it gratefully.
âyou okay?â
he watched you drink a bit with guilty eyes and a pout to his face, his thoughts verbally abusing the shit out of him for his fuck up as he practically made you gag your precious heart out.
âhazelnut sucks...â he mumbled. âfuck hazelnut i hate hazelnutââ
you took the bottle away from your lips and set it down on the counter, the way your cheeks were cutely puffed out and filled with water a sight that made yujiâs chest clench as he studied you, trying to decipher if you were upset with him as you swallowed.
âangel iâm sorry.â he pleaded once again, worried. âi shouldâve justâ given you what i know you likeââ
his words died out as you extended an arm, the pad of your finger smoothing out the crease in between his brows as you smiled at him, pearly and gorgeous and utterly unreal.
âsilly yuji...â you giggled, him letting out a little laugh of his own as he watched you with pink cheeks and a grin, reaching up to take your outstretched hand in his and bring it down to his lap, his thumb brushing lightly across your soft skin.
yuji constantly worried if you were bored out of your mind with him orâ agitated being cooped up in his dorm everyday, for he couldnât really take you outside for some fresh air or show you around campus due to your wings⊠but he was surprised by how well you blended into his life anywaysâ him bringing home little crafts for you to do or things for you to bake with him to keep you entertained, yuji always trying to make your days fun while he spent researching how the fuck to get you home in between studying, him running into dead ends as his attempts were just straight up stupid with every odd conspiracy theory he came across, informational panels about heaven and hell, or some random dickwad rambling about how when the day came for angels to reign down on earth, theyâll appear with blood red eyes and sharpened teethâ ready to take instead of grant, yuji every time snorting and diverting his gaze to your pretty eyes and pretty nose and pretty face, not a single sharpened tooth in sight besides giggles and cheeky smiles.
the only valuable piece of information that he could find was topics regarding fallen angels and lucifer⊠but he found it extremely hard to believe that you had done anything at all in your world that defied the divine laws so badly, to the point that you were exiled from your home to the land of the living for rebellion all together.
you were the sweetest little thing that the thought was justâ weird.
âso chocolate then?â he tilted his head, warmly holding your gaze. âor honey? or a mix?â
you straightened up and frantically nodded. âyes! mix mix!â
jumping up from your seat you flung your arms around his neck, yuji letting out a little oof! as he quickly caught you with a laugh, your own happy giggles filling his ears as you cemented yourself to him, his cheek coming down to mush against the side of your head and conscious of your wings.
âplease.â you chirped. âplease please.â
you could do no wrong in his eyes.
âsure angel!â he beamed, giving you a tiny squeeze before pulling back to look at your bubbly self. âi can do that.â
he gently let you go and stepped out, making his way around the kitchen island then to finish up your fruit saladâ quickly drizzling thin zig zagging streaks of chocolate and honey in your bowl as you bounced on your toes watching him, yuji finishing by capping up the syrup bottles and handing the bowl over to you with a fork.
âyou wanna watch another movie with me tonight?â he asked, watching you amusedly as you began stabbing chocolate coated grapes and plopping multiple in your mouth.
you excitedly nodded again through your chewing, recognizing the words âwatchâ and âmoviesâ and recalling all the other times youâd had nights like that with yuji, the rectangular device in front of his bed something you were repeatedly amazed by and yet hard for you to understand at the same time, its ability to showcase humans acting out different scenes with different feelings and toneâ creating and you able to see it all through the luminous screen any time you wanted, was a thing you never got tired of.
often youâd just spend hours watching movies to kill time until yuji came home on particular moments, you still not entirely too sure exactly where heâs going throughout so many hours of the day, but understanding that he had important commitments to attend to that he desperately tried to explain to you through calendars, stacks of worn out textbooks, or scribble filled note paper that he showed you after spending time writing and studying at his desk, you able to relate a little by the times the gods had sent you on errands as their messenger.
âsweet!â he smiled, walking over and gently leading you to sit on his bed by the small of your back, your long white dress flowing elegantly with your every step as you followed along, hopping up on his bed with swinging legs and fruit filled cheeksâ the corners of your mouth smeared a little with chocolate.
he took a seat next to you and softly patted your head as you munched, a warm tiny grin etched on his lips.
âwhat do you wanna watch?â he chirped. âoh i know! how about human earthworm four?! i know i only showed you the first one but i think itâll be fine if we just jump on aheaââ
you scrunched your face in distaste at the mention of the title, you recalling yuji showing you the movie a couple of weeks ago and hating it, the film way too gory and gross for you to sit through and watch as you even gave him a little bit of attitude after for making you endure something like that.
he laughed then, squeaky and boy-like as he dropped his hand from your head, a small twinkling glimmer in his gaze.
âno angel?â he murmured. âi know i figured⊠you didnât like the first one very much did you?â
you plopped another strawberry in your mouth and shook your head side to side.
âstinky.â
he snickered some more and nodded, your choice of words amusing to him as he then watched you pluck a grape with your fingers from the bowl, holding it out for him with expectant doe eyes.
âeat!â you grinned, and yujiâs heart did a little somersault as he leaned forwardâ taking the fruit in between his teeth before pulling back and enclosing his entire lips around it, you beaming and going back to munching on the rest of it yourself as he stared at you.
how kind.
âthanks angel heh!â he spoke through chews, him barely swallowing the fruit he had in his mouth before you were already offering him another piece, followed by another, and another until his cheeks were stuffed full like yours, the both of you going into tumbling fits of laughter and pointing at each otherâs faces with silly expressions.
âyouâre gonna make me choke.â yuji laughed with a mouth full, reaching forward and gently wiping honey off the corner of your lips, swallowing. âactuallyâ youâre gonna make yourself choke angel⊠be careful yeah?â
you swallowed and stuck your tongue out, yuji playfully rolling his eyes at you and about to stand when he felt something wet coat the entirety of his thumb, his head snapping down to see you sucking the honey off his fucking finger, pretty eyes looking up at him with not a clue in the world about the fact that what you were doing was knocking the damn wind out of himâ his gaze wild and jittery as he felt the heat in his cheeks boiling overâand the heat in his dickâ chanting in his sick brain over and over to cut it out and just look awayâ
you sucked back from his finger with a pop! and licked your lips, your expression happily unsuspecting until you saw the way he was looking at you in utter frozen shock, you tilting your head to the side with a quirked brow.
âyuji⊠okay?â
no the fuck he was not.
but he swallowed it down, breathing shakily through his nose and fighting every single nasty disrespectful thought that was flying through his head, his gaze holding yours as he slowly leaned down and ever so softly pressed his lips against your forehead, his eyes screwing shut in restraint.
he couldnât help it.
how could he when you were the epitome of everything heâd ever wanted and dreamed of having, but had already made peace with the fact that he was too much of a loser and ordinary to earn something like that?
yujiâs always known that there wasnât anything special or remarkable about him that made a difference in anyoneâs lives, his life having been just regular and boring and filled of uneventful forgetful events, with everyday that passed his soul justâ stagnant and conventional until the very day that he found you, him for the first time experiencing what it was like to be chosen by something and for once be⊠lucky.
special. important.
and out of anyone and anything⊠he hoped he was just as special to you as you were to him.
he slowly pulled back, his lids gradually opening and pupils searching your face for any kind of indication that you hated what he just did, you looking up at him with blinking eyes and the brightest pinky cheeks he had ever seen on you to date.
you shyly pursed your lips and lifted a hand, pointing to your cheek.
yujiâs brows pinched a little in confusion.
âwhat is it?â
your fingers fiddled with the material of your dress as your eyes darted around the room.
âyuji⊠here.â you timidly pointed again at your cheek, and it dawned on him then, a small closed lipped smile spreading across his face as he looked at you.
âyou want me to kiss your cheek angel?â he asked softly, and your mind connected the dots as it identified the word you wanted, bashfully nodding.
you loved what he didâŠ
âkiss angel.â you pointed once more, and without another word yuji cupped the other side of your jaw and brought your gorgeous face in, him in a complete daze as he craned his neck a little to press another soft kissâ on your cheek this time, you for the first time feeling the amplified version of the sentiments you already had for yuji for the past month, if not way more.
he slowly retracted and looked at you, the tips of your noses nearly touching as he lifted his unoccupied hand then and delicately cupped your other cheek, the both of your hearts hammering with every second the two of you inched closer and closerâ
until there was a pounding knock at the door.
âitadori!â the voice yelled over the other side, yuji quickly recognizing it to be nobara as his body instantly stiffened and he sprang apart from you, startling you in the process as you jerked back with a small gasp.
âopen the door yuji! the hell have you been doing the past few weeks that you canât even answer the fucking phone?! i have the rom comâs you wanted!â
oh fuck oh fuck oh fuckâ
he couldnât let her find out about you heâ you couldâ they could take you awayâ
âmegumi can you please kick down the doorââ
âmânot doing thatââ
âDO IT!ââ
yuji shot up from the bed and racked his fingers through his hair in a panic, now configuring that there were two people out there instead of just one, your own breathing picking up speed at the unfamiliar strange voices and the way it looked like yuji was about to pass out, you slowly standing from the bed yourself and walking closer to him.
he knew that nobara nor megumi would ever do anything to jeopardize you or your safety orâ tell anyone about you if he asked them to⊠but he didnât know that for sure⊠and he just wasnât ready.
he wanted to keep you to himself for a little while longerâŠ
âyuji!â nobara barked, and he quickly spun around to dart over to the door, him briefly looking at you from over his shoulder and pressing the bridge of his index finger up to his lips, signaling you to stay quiet as you nervously nodded.
âiâmâ iâm sick!â he called, yacking out a comically fake cough. âgo away!â
âiâ i was sick and hungry man!â he huffed, coughing out again. ânow go away!â
a snort slipped past your lips at what he was doing and you quickly slapped a hand over your mouth, yuji looking over at you with a silly little grin.
âmegumi if youâre not gonna kick this door down i will.â
âno one is kicking doors downââ
âyeah me STEP AWAY FROM THE DOOR YUJIââ
âyouâre a fucking idiot man stopââ
the door jolted and you both jumped back, yuji staring at it with his jaw to the floor as he backed up.
she was actually trying to kick it downâ
âyouâre dumb youâre stupidââ
âyeah? well then you fucking do it fushiguro!â
âyou think iâm gonna willingly let the resident assistant write me up like a moronââ
she groaned.
âno you look like a moron not kicking with meââ
âmove.â
âYAY!ââ
yuji didnât have time to process literally anything before the door jolted and broke open, swinging violently off to the side and slamming against the wall with itâs nails and hinges tearing off, the sound of them clattering on the ground filling the air as the two of them trudged in.
nobara and megumi made eye contact with you and froze.
not a word.
not a sound.
not an inch of movementâ
âWHAT THE FUCK?!ââ
yuji flung himself in front of you and hurriedly pulled you behind him, shielding you from them as you immediately cowered and clung to the back of his hoodie, your heart beating so freaking much that you could hear it thumping through your ear canals, terror shooting through your body over everybodyâs yelling and screaming that you just frustratingly couldnât understand, the fact only making you worse as you didnât know if the strangers in front of you were as kind as yuji was, orâ or if they were here to actually take you and hurt youâ
âyuji what in the ever living hell is that?!ââ
ânobara quiet!â
he could feel how you were trembling behind him, keeping you there as nobara continued to scream and gawk over the sight of you and your wings, megumi blankly staring wide eyed and speedily extending an arm out to silently shut the door behind them.
âareâ are those real?! are they fake?! let me see right nowââ
nobara shot a hand out to grab you and you let out a tiny yelp, yuji quick to block and push her away as your wings stretched out and flapped in alarm, random loose papers and objects knocking over or flying about by the forceful air, tears rapidly blurring your vision as you threw your arms tight around his torso, hiccuping and sniffling and yujiâs heart dropping to the deepest pits of his ass hearing it.
ânobara stop dude youâre scaring her!â
he twisted his body and engulfed you in his chest, your head tucked in his arms as he raised a palm to gently pat and rub at the top of your head, him desperately trying to soothe you and quiet down your sobbing while you shook so incredibly much against him, a big fat lump forming in his throat and feeling awful about how terrified you were at nobaraâs never ending fucking yelling and attempts at grabbing you.
âangel youâre okay! its okay!â he frantically ushered, giving your head a little squeeze. âdonât be scared baby iâ i promise you youâre okayââ
âsorry sorry!â nobara flailed her arms out in front of her, eyes filled with worry as she felt horrendous about scaring you like that. âi didnât mean to i swear! butâ is sheâ what am i looking atââ
she stepped forward and you whimpered again, face digging further in yujiâs chest as he wrung you away, his back turning to the both of them.
âdonât cry angel theyâreâ theyâre my friends! theyâre yujiâs friends!â
âsorry yes!â nobara sputtered. âweâre friends of his! i didnât mean to scare you i swear iâm just excited!ââ
âsee?â yuji gently pulled back and took your chin in between his fingers, tilting your head up and chest aching upon seeing your teary doe eyes, wet cheeks and pouting lips.
âtheyâre yujiâs friendsâŠâ he delicately wiped at your tears. âyouâre safe angel babyâŠâ
you hiccuped.
âfâfriends?ââ
âaw sheâs so cuuuuteee!ââ
you jumped at nobaraâs sudden squeal and cowered away again.
âare you this dense?â megumi mumbled. âput your arms down and back up idiot or weâre getting nowhere.â
âsorry sorry!ââ
it took a total of twenty minutes to soothe you down and get you comfortable around the pair of them, and an additional ten to get nobara to stop simultaneously fucking screaming and awing at every little thing you did, yuji having to coax you out of the bathroom at one point from being startled again by nobara trying to inspect your wings again, and megumi ending up having to hold her arms behind her back to get her to stop and calm down and behave.
but soon enough after nearly an hour, and after yuji explaining how exactly he found you, you luckily were no longer skittish and apprehensive about the situation and were able to be in close proximity with them, as you very quickly realized that they were as kind as yuji and seemingly harmlessâ nobara resembling yujiâs personality except a bit louder and more animate, while megumi was the complete opposite of the two all together, his personality brooding and flat as he barely even looked in your direction or really cared about anything that was going on, which was probably the reason why you warmed up a lot faster to him rather than nobaraâ curious about him as he was just so different from yujiâs sweetness, megumi warding a persona you didnât even know could exist, and adding to the list of new information youâd come to learn about yujiâs world since you fell in it.
eventually though⊠you loved them just as much as you loved him.
âyour lashes just curl naturally like that?! how pretty!â nobara softly gushed, peering at you up close and personalâ amazed as you all sat lounged about on the carpeted flooring. âoh my goodness gracious theyâre so lucious! and your lips?! what moisturizer do you useââ
you laughed as you sat back on your knees with your hands drawn to your lap, amused at her excitement and completely understanding of her disregard for personal space as she studied you, a glowy blush rising to your cheeks as you recognized some of her flying compliments from the times yuji has told you himself in the past.
âwhat brand is your dress? oh myâ your hair?! what shampoo do you use? it canât be yujiâs three in one that shit is like acidââ
âhey!â yuji pouted, and you giggled. âmy three in one works just fine thank you very much.â
âyuji if i ran my fingers through your hair right now iâm pretty sure your roots would snap offââ
he gasped. âno they wouldnât!ââ
âyes they would! i can guarantee itââ
âtry it then!â
âew no?ââ
you placed your palms on the carpet and began walking as they bickered, padding yourself across the room until you got to a bored looking megumiâ his eyes cast down and glued to his phone as you came up right next to him, sitting back on your ankles upon arrival and staring.
âswitch to something else yuji youâre gonna burn your scalp offââ
âbut i like the one i have! it smells like piñacolada teeheeââ
âyou mean acidââ
megumi felt you drilling holes into the side of his head, him letting out a small huff through his nose before slowly drawing his gaze up to meet yours, blinking at you with a neutral expression.
âwhat.â he mumbled.
how interestingâŠ
usually yuji would greet you with a sugary smile and an affectionate pinch to your cheekâŠ
you tilted your head and scanned over his frame, trying to figure out the science behind personalities that were stark differences from each other, as your experience up in the heavens was limited with the way everyone was so drilled focused on serving and satisfying the gods, that no one really ever had the time or the will to justâ be themselves.
sometimes it seemed a bit isolate with the way you were the only one who seemed to actually notice in your world⊠but you hadnât felt that way since you landed on earth and met yuji, an unsuspecting weight lifting off your shoulders so nicely that it allowed you to experience for the first time what it was like not to constantly worry about your status with the gods, or if you were doing something wrong and disappointing the entirety of your brothers and sisters.
you felt free in a way⊠out of the chains of sacred judgement and into the arms of acceptance.
into the arms of yuji.
megumi blinked at you once more before diverting his gaze down to his phone again, you taking this as the perfect time to get back on your hands and knees and crawl even closer, your face entirely shoved in his business as he snapped his head back up and looked at you bewildered.
âwhat is it?â he muttered, a pinch to his brows as he tried to figure out what the fuck it was about him that caught your attention so much.
you softly giggled in response, and a slight blush rose to megumiâs cheeks then, one that went unnoticed by you but entirely noticed by yujiâ his stare fixated on the both of you as nobara continued to blabber his ear off about the shampoo he was using, an unfamiliar growing pit in his heart over the sight of your cutesy smile shining gracefully for his dear friend.
your eyes flickered up to the weird metal in megumiâs brow, and you pointed.
âthat!â
he paused.
âwhat⊠this?â he pointed himself for a moment before switching his gaze away. âeyebrow piercing.â
âeyebrow piercing.â you repeated, and he stiffly nodded as he scrolled through his phone again.
âmhm.â
âpretty!â
megumi coughed and stuck his mouth in the crook of his elbow, going into a total fit as he tried to quickly recover from swallowing down the wrong pipe, another blush bubbling in his cheeks that was way more furious than last time, and way more upsetting for yuji to see, him chewing on the inside of his cheek as he got on his knees and began crawling over, leaving a gawking nobara behind that was flabbergasted at his lack of care for the health of his hair.
why were you looking at megumi so muchâŠ
yuji was having a hard time accepting that he was maybe some what a tiny bitâ jealous.
âangel eyebrow piercing?â you sweetly asked, megumi staring flatly.
âdonât think you should.â
you pouted.
âno?â
ânope.â
âwhy?â
megumi was impressed by your knowledge of his language, as he admittedly thought yuji was straight up lying to boast about the fact for some reason.
âbecause it doesnât suit your face.â
your head tilted, confused by what he said and about to speak again until you felt an arm snake around your waist and gently tug you, your back softly colliding with a familiar chest that made you beam and whip your head behind to look over your shoulder.
âhi angel.â
âyuji!â you grinned, your cheeks pinky as you took in the cozy feeling of being bundled up in his arms again. âhiiii!â
he laughed at your cheerfulness and smiled, his heart mending a little at how excited you got over seeing him.
âwhat were you guys talking about?â yuji asked simply, though megumi could see right through his idiot face and idiot body language that blatantly let him know what was going on in his idiot head.
he didnât care enough to stick around.
ânothing.â he mumbled, locking his phone and going to stand. âmâleaving.â
âwha?!ââ yuji gawked. âwhy man? stay! i bought a bunch of brownies yesterday for her but i know she wonât eat âem allââ
âbrownies?!â nobara perked up, exiting from a tab on yujiâs desktop that he didnât even realize had been infiltrated by her. âi want some! pretty pleeaaseeeââ
âoh! nobara i wanted to ask youââ he carefully readjusted himself so youâd sit comfortably right next to him on the carpet. âdo you have any um⊠what are those things called? like uh⊠wellâ she canât spread her wings with the clothes i let her borrow so she always has to likeâ keep them tucked in?â
âlemme seeââ
nobara stood and walked over to where you sat, her getting down on her knees beside you as she studied your wings, you sending her a kind smile that she reciprocatedâ mentally bookmarking to ask you about how you get your skin to look so flawless and dewy.
âthe only thing that lets her is the dress she came inâŠâ he scratched the back of his neck in thought. âbut i want her to be able to justâ open them whenever she wants.â
âjust cut your shirts.â she shrugged, straightening up and patting your head, you giggling in response and cutely doing it back to her. âheeehee! but yeah any that you donât mind cutting just hack off the neckline and stretch it out. that should let her spread her wings.â
yuji stared at nobara and pondered over her genius fucking idea, wondering why in the hell he didnât think of that earlier and instead made you endure weeks of discomfort everyday with the lack of getting to loosen up the joints in your precious little wings.
âoh my god wait!â nobara gasped. âi could let her borrow some tops too! i have plenty that are off the shoulder sheâll look sexy in themââ
âalright iâm leaving.â megumi mumbled, officially standing from his spot on the floor and padding over to the front door, yuji still sitting there with a short-circuiting brain and overheating face at the thoughtâ at the thought ofâ
âwait!â nobara quickly stood herself and snatched her purse off yujiâs desk. âyou have to walk me to my dorm fushiguroââ
megumi tisked in disgust and glared, both you and yuji standing.
âwhy the hell do i have to do thatââ
âbecause iâm a lady and a lady must be escortedââ
âyouâre the least lady i knowââ
âshut upâ bye my sweet little peaaaa!â she cooed at you, wringing her arms around your shoulders into a big friendly hug, her careful of your wings as you happily hugged her back and smiled.
âbye!â you kindly gushed, the both of you peeling away and you sending megumi a pearly smile with a small wave, him awkwardly giving you a flat one in return before turning and tugging open the door.
âbye yuji! iâll swing by with the extra tops sometime next week! oh and i left the rom comâs on your desk! have my angel thing watch some theyâre so cute and funnyââ
âkugisaki hurryââ
âalright! alright jesusâŠâ nobara rolled her eyes at the spiky haired boy and stepped closer to yuji then, placing a hand on his shoulder and pulling him down to place her lips by his ear.
âdonât think i donât know whatâs going on hereâŠâ she whispered. âyou perv.â
yujiâs face dropped and he looked at her bewildered.
âhah?! whatâ what are youâ i donâtââ
âyou think iâm just gonna believe that you have her here all to yourself and you havenâtââ
âno! itâ its not like that!ââ
âyeeaahhhhh right that woman is gorgeous and i can see your ugly little lovesick eyes PERVERT!ââ
âshut up! shut up! shut up!ââ
yuji snatched her wrist and tugged her along to the door as you stared with perplexed blinking eyes, megumi already out on the other side and aggressively tapping away at his phone to block out whatever the fuck was going on inside.
âwhat have you done a smooch?! a little fondling?! a hand on her titty?! perhaps a hand up theââ
he pushed her out and slammed the door shut, his palms flat on the wooden surface as he breathed erratically with his head hung low, miserable and suffering as he heard nobara cackling on the other end of the door that got increasingly quieter the farther down the hall they got, yuji squeezing his eyes and thudding his head against the door over and over and over to get rid of the image of him doing those things to you like he hadnât already fucking thought of them beforeâ
âyuji?â
he felt a tug at his hoodie and he paused.
nobara was right⊠he was a stinky pervertâŠ
âyeah angel?â he mumbled, and you cocked your head.
what was wrong with him?
you pulled harder and he eventually lifted his head from the door, sluggishly moving around to properly face you with a furious blush to his cheeks, his eyes funnily to the floor as he pouted.
âmâsorryââ
you stood on your tippy toes and pressed a cute kiss to his cheek, yujiâs head snapping up to look at you with blown out eyes and a beating heart that was so rapid he was surprised it didnât burst out of his chest, a slow smile spreading across his lips at the way you stared up at him with an excited expectant look.
âsilly yuji.â you spoke softly.
he had looked so sad⊠and you were hoping that the little smooch you gave him would lighten up his spirits like it had done for you just a few hours ago.
âyou gave me a kiss?â he giggled softly, lips going unsteady as he straightened his back and bashfully looked down, his fingertips reaching out for yours and ever so delicately caressing over each and every one.
âthank you angel baby.â
it wasnât difficult at all for yuji to fall in love with you.
as a matter of factâ he liked to think that he actually did the moment he found you on the street, for the feeling he felt for you the second he laid his sick eyes on your beady little ones never went away, as it only increased in intensity the more he got to know you, the more he got to look after you and take care of you, and the more he got to be blessedly graced by your presence as the months dragged on, looking forward every day to coming home from lectures or running errands just to be with you and your bubbling giggles, greedily relishing in the way you gently showed him affection, while actively trying to block out the dooming thought thatâ you didnât really know what any of it meant⊠or if you didnât feel the same way he did.
but he shamefully found himself willing to sacrifice the heartbreak and dodge the truth if it meant still getting to feel your plushy soft lips against his face all of the time, for your love was the most tender and delicate heâd ever felt in his life by anyone.
and he also stopped researching for ways to get you back home.
its not like he meant to per say⊠as the attempts he made for the last couple of months were still leading to dead ends with no viable information that could help him in even the smallest of bits, him collecting more fucking viruses from sketchy websites than anything as he scoured the internet for answers for you⊠but the longer he spent with you, the longer he got used to you⊠the moment he realized it had been about half a year since youâd landed on earth⊠the blazing drive he once felt to get you home was now diminished to a mere smokey bud.
but thatâs not to say that you were forgotten by the gods... not at all.
they were looking for you.
âyou bored baby?â yuji asked from his desk, you laid flat on your belly on the carpeted flooring as you absentmindedly scrolled through TV channels with his remote, your legs up swinging with your wings stretched out, slowly flapping every now and then and delivering a cool gentle push of air in yujiâs direction that slipped through the strands of his hair, a small content smile on his face as he studied with a notebook and pencil in hand.
ânope!â you chirped, continuing to scroll. âlooking for movie heehee.â
he hummed, scribbling out a few more notes before putting his pencil down and swiveling his chair around to look at you.
âa movie?â he pursed his lips to the side in thought, gaze trickling over his dorm to see if there was anything at all that could help him help you in deciding what to watch.
âoh!â he stood, padding over to his nightstand by the bed and pulling the drawer out, the stack of rom coms that nobara brought over to you both still sitting neat and untouched. âthereâs these! i know you havenât seen these yet.â
on your end⊠you didnât give a single fuck about going home anymore, as the message was clear as ever to you that the gods, nor your brothers and sisters respected or cared enough about you to even send you a fleeting sign asking of your whereabouts, and even if they were, if you were given the choice to pick between the heavenâs and the world youâd come to know of the livingâ
youâd choose yuji, over and over without another contemplating thought as you loved this world better than the one you came from.
it was fuller⊠livelier.
and it had him.
you propped yourself up by your palms and hoisted up to sit back on your ankles, you excitedly peering at the stack of movies in his hands as he walked back over to his desk chair and plopped down.
âtheyâre romance comedies angel⊠actuallyâ i donât think youâve ever watched a full-blown romance movie besides likeâ little stuff.â
you nodded and enthusiastically looked over the choices as he splayed them out for you, your eyes catching on the cover that was pinkier than the rest as you lit up and frantically pointed, yuji letting out a laugh before nodding and opening the DVD case.
âthis oneâs a little older so hopefully you still get itâŠâ he spoke lowly, eyes focused on his rusty DVD player that he hadnât turned on in months, swiping off a bit of dust with the palm of his hand before switching it on and feeding it the CD of your choice.
the movie began playing without any hiccups and you smiled, yuji barely sitting down on his desk chair again before you quickly crawled over to him and lifted your upper body a bit by his knees, your neck craning up to press a sugary peck to his cheek.
âthank you!â you sweetly gushed, yuji going red in the face at your politeness as you scooched back and got comfy on his floor again, your beautiful features mesmerized by the screen in front of you as he just stared.
he did that a lot. more times than he was willing to admit.
âi love you.â he spoke softly.
he knew you didnât know what it meant⊠and perhaps that was precisely the reason why he felt brave enough to say it out loud, the feeling of pure love bubbling up in his chest that was undoubtedly peaceful and fulfilling, but sort ofâ daunting at the same time⊠for he never really knew if youâd ever get the gravity of the word and say it back to him with the same profound meaning as him.
you had brought so much light into his life that he didnât know what to do with all of it.
you diverted your gaze to his and cocked your head to the side, wondering what was it that he said and why he looked so serious all of a sudden.
âhm?â you hummed, about to get a little closer until he shook his head and flashed you a big smile.
so handsome!
ânothing angel baby.â he swiveled back around to his desk and picked up his pencil, flipping his notebook to a fresh page. âiâll come join you in a second okay?â
if yuji was looking for ways to calm down his overbearing drive to be a little more intimate than just cheek kisses, showing you romantic comedies was his biggest fucking mistake, as it quite literally connected the dots for you.
you were exposed to mass media of human connection and infatuation, of pure love as your brain drank up every bit of new information that was shown to you through the screen of yujiâs TV, the genre of romance taking no time at all to be an absolute favorite of yours as you begged him time and time again to put on another that was similar, downing it that very same day and asking for another, over and over until yuji had to call up nobara asking for more movie recommendations to appease your hyperactive mind about it, amusedly dismissing how excited you were over the fact that you were discovering something new.
and you were⊠but another mistake that he stupidly made was not paying attention to what exactly you were watching either.
you saw what proper hand holding was like, caresses of affection, more ways you could smooch all up on yujiâs face, and most importantly⊠kissing.
youâd never seen anything more precious and tender in your life.
and you wanted to do it with him bad.
there were raunchier things that you saw as well, and it was like you literally had a sacred awakening as everything finally started to make fucking senseâ why you constantly had this sort ofâ lovesick aggression for yuji that you never knew how to properly portray nor verbalize, how you always wanted to just eat his freaking face off because of how careful and considerate he always was with you, how you never went a second without getting an itch to be all up on him in ways that you frustratingly didnât know how.
you softly gasped and stood from his bed, a grin stretching across your face as you walked over to him and peered over the box.
âyuuumyyy thank you!â you beamed, and he nodded, pressing a quick kiss to the top of your head as he set the box down on the kitchen island along with his keys.
you shook your head and waved him off, yuji taking note then of your outfit being a little more revealing than usual, him recognizing your off the shoulder top to be one that nobaraâs worn before, and the shorts you had on were⊠short, him quickly diverting his gaze from your smooth thighs and unzipping his jacket.
but you noticed, biting back a smile as you watched him.
âyou feeling tired?â he cleared his throat a little. âi was wondering ifâ if you were up for a movie and pizza? i could get your favoriteââ
you silently took his hand then and led him to his desk chair, his brows coming to a furrow as you tugged him in front of it and gently pushed him down, him confusedly complying and taking a seat.
âwhat happened angel you donât want pizza?ââ
his mouth clamped shut the moment he saw you swing both your legs over his lap and sit, using his shoulders for stability as you settled yourself and tried not to laugh over the funny look on his faceâ big rounded eyes and vibrantly pink cheeks that only accentuated to you just how cute he was.
âbâbabyââ
you said nothing as you slowly raised your hands to gently cup his face, the warmth of his skin radiating underneath your palm as you caressed over his cheeks with your thumbs, the soft glow of his desk lamp illuminating part of his features while he carefully observed you, the lump in his throat rapidly increasing in size the longer he spent practically gawking at how gorgeous you looked on his lap like that, like you were rightfully his, his hands trembling as they hovered over your thighsâ unsure if he shouldâ if this was respectfulâ
âyuji⊠okay?â you whispered, and he gulped.
âmâmhm.â he shakily breathed out through his nose, you smiling softly in relief as you nodded and inched closer, yujiâs heart spurring on the more he felt your breath fan against his face, going in a complete utter daze as he quickly became bewitched by you without you even having to try much.
at the yummy feeling of his lips lightly grazing yours you whimpered, yuji quick to suck in a harsh breath at the sound and refrain from doing anything in order to avoid possibly upsetting and scaring you.
âwhatâs happening angel babyâŠâ he murmured. âwhat⊠what do you needâŠ?â
him.
forever and ever if the gods allowed it.
âkiss.â you replied softly, and a mass of heat rose to yujiâs face.
âlikeââ he stammered against your lips. âon the cheekâ mpf!â
you mushed your lips up against his then, cutting him off entirely as he sat there frozen with a heavy thumping heart, convinced that he was straight up lucid dreaming as there was no way in fucking hell you were kissing him right nowâ
you moved your mouth and slowly began deepening the kiss to the best of your ability, and he was too lost in the feeling of how soft they were and how much they resembled literal cushy clouds to realize that he wasnât kissing you back like an idiot, your heart slowly sinking in your chest with every second that passed until you eventually detached your lips from his with a sad pout.
âyuuuuâŠâ you whined. âno kiss?ââ
âyes kissââ
he yanked you in by the waist and you squealed, his mouth greedily on yours and swallowing you as he set a pace that was way faster than you had initially set, desperate and needy with his hands roaming all over your hips and sides as he slipped his tongue in your mouth, a tiny gasp flying out of your throat and your body melting against his as you made out, your arms snaking around his neck to pull him in snug with you.
the two of you refused to move or break apart as your lips sucked each other up, the butterflies in your tummy going fucking nuts as you felt his hands knead every part of you, squeezing and shamelessly feeling you up without a care as you moaned into his mouth, the glorious sound making him go utterly numb and tingly as he abused your pretty lips.
âstay with me forever angel...â he spoke in between kisses. âplease.â
you recognized stay and forever, and you eagerly nodded, a big smile breaking out in both of your faces as you continued to latch onto each otherâs mouths again.
you only became more of a menace from there, and it was getting harder and harder for yuji to behave.
because any moment that you were able to get him where he was completely free, away from his studies or whatever other work and commitments he needed to attend to, you were on him like a leechâ pouncing on him and keeping him trapped beneath you on his bed, slobbering all over his lips while you encased the both of you with your wings, shielding your bodies and focusing on one another as yuji each time was unbelieving that someone as godly as you wanted him orâ or anything to do with him, your make out sessions ranging from you on his bed, you perched on his lap at his desk chair, you on the kitchen island, you on the carpeted floor as his hands never once stopped groping everything you had, yuji each time getting braver as he squeezed at your tits or ass at times, though him quickly putting a stop to it the day that he subconsciously and hornily slipped his hand in your fucking panties, speedily retracting and pulling off of you at the sound of you squeaking over what he did, his chest heaving and sputtering out apologies while his finger buzzed at the feeling he got of your cute lips.
and with each passing day⊠you wanted fucking more.
it wasnât out of the ordinary for yuji to come home at times to you showering in the bathroom after his lectures, the sound of your muffled soft hums and trickling running water serving as confirmation, him simply settling about and using the spare moments to catch up on homework while he patiently waited for your return.
but this time⊠yuji didnât hear a thing.
âangel?â
his eyes scanned the room as he closed the door behind him, shrugging off his things like he always did, and growing increasingly more confused as he padded through his dorm and saw absolutely no sign of you, his heart beating a little louder now as he started opening up closets and looking under his bed for you.
âangel!â
were you hiding? to try and be silly?
or did you⊠leave?
at the thought of that he panicked, tripping over his own two feet as he stumbled into the kitchen, peeking and craning his neck around nooks and crannies with still no indication for him that could let him know of your whereabouts, his head snapping to the bathroom door then and zooming to it with his arms out, pulling it open and barely staggering in before he froze.
there you were in the bathtub, a beaming smile on your face upon you noticing him come inâ beautiful and bare with the outline of your hips and upper body peeking out from the water and between bundles of soapy suds, yujiâs blood draining as his eyes stayed gorilla glued to your god damn tits, cleavage on full display with bubbles of soap teasingly covering the most intimate parts of yourself.
âhi yujââ
âiâm sorry iâm sorry iâm sorry!ââ
he fumbled for the knob and slammed the door shut, his breathing erratic as he slumped his back against the door in absolute shock, eyes dropping down to the swelling bulge in his pants as he groaned and placed a hand over it.
stop it stop it stop itâ
he dragged his feet over to the bed and sank down, mind replaying over and over how simply angelic and ethereal you looked just moments prior, his knee rapidly bouncing as he tried to swallow down the agonizing lump in his throat and still keep a firm hand on the front of his pants, flooding his mind instead with the piles of homework he had to do, the three exams he had next week, the big fat attitude he got from his professor during lecture todayâ
the sound of a door clicking made him jolt his head up and look, you standing there then with your dewy glowing skin and damp doll-like lashes and stunning wings and wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around your body.
ohmyfuckinggodâ
âiâm gonna die iâm gonna die iâm gonna dieââ
you giggled and skipped over to him, your hands clutching the top of the towel as you tilted your head and looked at him, you hoping that he had done something inside the bathtub⊠but nonetheless you remaining hopeful as you moved on to phase b of your plan.
âbaby.â he breathed out. âplease put some clothes on or iâll die.â
did he actually want you to? fuck no, but he was growing a sense of deep disappointment within himself, trying so hard this entire time to be respectful of you and then justâ messing it up by constantly thinking of what you would look like fucking bare andâ and his andâ
you snickered and turned your head defiantly to the side.
ânope.â
yuji gawked.
âno?! silly girl you want me to die.â
you laughed, reeling forward a little with a hand over your mouth as you always found his panic so freaking funny, you placing your palms flat on his chest after and giving him a little nudge, eyes signaling over to the spot on his bed by the headboard.
âsit.â you encouraged gently, and he swallowed.
where in the fuck did you learn of any of this?
but he followed your lead anyways like a dog, him placing his hands behind him to scooch back against the headboard like youâd told him to, you crawling after him and swinging a leg over his lap with a hand holding your towel steady, getting comfy on your rightful throne and yuji staring at you with widened eyes and cute wobbly lips, trying to distract himself of the way he could actually feel the warmth of your pussy on his sweatpantsâŠ
and it wasâ it was bare, direct skin to pants fucking contactâ
âi want⊠yuji.â you mumbled, suddenly bashful as you diverted your gaze from him, his softening and heart reeling at your proper use of his language.
âyou want me angel baby..?â he murmured, taking your chin in between his fingers to gently turn your head to look in his direction again, his eyes deep and serious as he took in the sight of you.
âi want you more.â
he slipped his fingers through the top of your towel and slowly peeled it open, a pretty smile stretching across your face as you moved to help himâ sliding the fuzzy material off your skin until yuji took hold of the rest of it, throwing and getting rid of it somewhere in his room, the fabric thudding on the floor while you watched him grab the collar of his hoodie and pull it over his head, you letting out a lovesick giggle as he was just so handsome, and yuji fighting with every fiber of his being not to lose his fucking shit over you naked.
âi love you.â
you were absolutely breathtaking.
âjustâ just move with me angel⊠okay?â
you still didnât know what his previous phrase meant, but you put your hands on his bare chest and nodded, yuji taking a second before he shakily breathed out and grabbed ahold of your hips, guiding you down as he arched his and met up with yours, your eyes widening at the sudden foreign pressureâ biting down on your bottom lip and whimpering over how good the fabric of his sweatpants felt against your clit.
yuji shuddered as he kept with the momentum, guiding your hips to grind deliciously against his hard on, him already feeling the mess he was making by his annoying leaky tip and struggling to keep his fucking voice down, choking and groaning at every little noise or squeak you made, the way your plumpy boobs were pressed up against his chest making him go insane, his head spinning a million miles an hour and choosing to steady himself with your lipsâ latching onto them and licking them up like a man starved.
âhow you doing angelâŠâ he breathed against your mouth, your grinding hips raunchy and fast as he knew the growing sticky patch on his pants was not only a mix of him, but you.
âdoes itâ hahâ does it feel good?â
you nodded through your ditzy daze and shoved your face into his neck, the sounds of your slick little cunt running over the patch of his sweatpants embarrassing to you and yetâ unable to feel entirely bad about it as the pressure between your legs was godly, your breathing coming in quick puffs as yuji ran his hands all over your skin like he always did, except betterâ grabbing at the fat of your ass and gripping as he met your hips in desperate rolls, tears prickling the corners of his eyes.
âmâgonna cum in my fuckin pantsââ he swallowed, eyes nearly rolling back as his dick was about to explode from being swelled up to the max, you too busy dealing with the build up of your own release to realize he was gently beckoning you to pull back.
âshit! babyââ he struggled to look up and meet your eyes. âiâ i need a tit in my mouth okay? sâsoââ
you gasped as he grabbed a handful of your boob and popped a nipple in his mouth, his wet tongue slobbering over the perky little bud and eliciting a new round of pleasure for you that you didnât even know could exist, your wings automatically flapping out before you forced them to withdraw back in place, your mewls and hiccups going louder the more you both rolled your hips against each others, pants and humid air surrounding the pair of you as an unfamiliar release ripped through you and your every sense.
you squealed and quickly muffled it over with your hand, trembling as yuji roughly yanked your hips down and dug his bulging covered cock in the folds of your sobbing pussy, heaving for air and groaning as he felt his dick shoot out hot cum and soak the material of his boxers.
yuji gradually pulled his head up through his trembles and peered up at you, shy about the fact that he just made a mess in his pants⊠but the thought quickly flying out the window the second he saw the way you were looking at himâ in all your glorious heavenly light and lovely eyes, the two of you slipping into a soft fit of giggles that filled your hearts with peace and safety and love⊠more than anything else ever did in your lives.
and it never changed from being that way either, as you were everything that yuji could ever want and need, and yuji was that very same for youâ continuing to shower you in the upmost amount of kisses and affection that didnât even exist in the heavens, for yujiâs world was the one to introduce you to new horizons and possibilities that helped you feel far greater than alive, and far greater than the privilege of being an angel in itself.
you wanted the privilege of feeling human⊠and although your wings were the brooding cause of making sure you would never be a human, yuji was the best at showing you that that wasnât a problem for him at all, that he loved you all the same, and you simply accepting him for who he was and choosing him to be your lucky little man despite everything⊠was all he ever needed.
you never thought that youâd find peace within yourself on earth and with a human, rather than in the heavens where you were created⊠your home.
the thought of even calling the realm of the gods home now wasâ weird.
because home was with yuji.
home was with every little sugary pastry he brought you from the outside, home was with every happy smooch and suffocating embrace he had given you, home was with every time he took you on midnight strolls or picnics to clear your head or let you stretch your wings, home was with every time he dried your tears and soothed your soul every moment you cried over something silly, and home was with nobara and megumi every time they came overâ two people you adored almost as much as you did yuji, for they had protected you and guided you in their own little special ways like your yuji had done since the beginning.
he loved you so unbelievably much that he could cry about it if he wanted to.
but so did the gods.
they felt your rebellion. they felt your retaliation. they felt your bitterness.
and they themselves couldnât understand how or why or who had casted their most prized and darling angel down to the jaws of the earth, your absence going noticed in the blink of an eye as they spent months and months looking for youâ their most favorite angel, weeping, punishing those who they thought were involved, their search relentless until the very glorious day that they did manage to find you by the help of your faithful brothers and sisters.
though the gods were horrified to find that a human had tainted you.
they were furious for that matter... and they wasted no time at all in calling for your presence back.
âdo you want the little nightlight i bought yesterday? or are you okay like this angel?â
you tried to ignore it at first⊠their calls⊠dismissing it as paranoia and forcing your head to just keep focusing on the new life you had come to build and love, on yuji⊠but the constant nag was annoying and detrimental, and you noticed that each time you ignored it and turned a bratty blind eye to the fact, it would just get fucking louder, and angrier, each ghostly call and pull at your wings getting increasingly more obvious that it was none other than the gods who were forcing you back.
what made you so different that you couldnât stay? what made you and yuji different?
ânightlight please.â you sweetly smiled, and yuji happily nodded, snatching the little star shaped nightlight from the kitchen counter before sticking it in a nearby outlet, flicking it on and taking steps forward then to dive into the pillow fort the two of you had made for movie night.
you hated that your natural instinct as an angel was to obey to their calling, no matter how much time and effort youâd spent screaming and crying for them to piss off while yuji was away in class, you doing so for almost three weeks straight whilst simultaneously fighting the painful programmed urge to return to the heavens, blocking it out of your head any chance you got and lying to yourself that you had what it took to evade the devastating inevitable.
you had been lying to yourself for so long, that you stupidly delayed telling yuji about your potential return to the heavens until it was unbearable to keep to yourself.
you didnât want to⊠fuck you didnât want to.
you knew youâd break his heart if you didâŠ
âbaby?â
you snapped out of it, blinking eyes switching to his before you gave him a tiny closed-lipped smile.
âyeah?â
âi asked if you needed more pillows?â he softly spoke, pulling you by the arm to lay with him beneath the hoard of blankets he fluffed out for you, settling you on his chest with your head tucked under his chin. âor you comfy angel?â
âmâcomfy.â you replied, your voice tiny and barely audibleâ a certain tone that perked yujiâs ears the slightest bit.
âkayâŠâ he rubbed his palm up and down your wings in soothing figure eights, you willing and begging your mind to focus on the feeling as you actively fought the gods insistent callings in real time.
âwhat do you feel like watching?â yuji grabbed the remote and began flicking through movie options, lips pursed in thought before he sighed. âman weâve seen all of these already havenât we⊠lame.â
you wanted to laugh⊠but you couldnât. not when it felt like your skin was being burned to a crisp.
donât think donât think donât thinkâ
âooo! ooo! maybe we can watch this one angel? this is the one with that baseball player and the girl right? you told me you really liked that one i wouldnât mind seeing it agaââ
you sat up suddenly and he faltered, watching you carefully.
âwhat happened? not that one?â he began scrolling through again. âwe donât have to watch that one baby iâm sorryââ
his eyes flickered back to you and he stilled, him quickly sitting up then and tossing the remote off somewhere to the side.
you were hunched over and shaking, knuckles gripping the blankets below with shuddering breaths.
âangel.â he called firmly, placing a hand on your shoulder and giving it a small reassuring squeeze. âwhatâs wrong? you feeling okay?â
you didnât reply, and his brows furrowed, sitting up a bit more and leaning his upper body forward to try and take a better look at you, the hand on your shoulder reaching to move a few strands of hair away from your face so that he could see you, and his heart sinking to the deepest depths of his soul once he did.
you looked⊠sick, eyes blown wide and lips slightly parted as you kept your empty gaze glued to the ground like youâd just seen a ghost, yujiâs own gaze rounding out.
âbaby.â he quickly cupped your cheeks and turned your head in his direction, his face falling once he saw the flood of tears that were pooled up in your pretty eyes. âtalkâ talk to me yeah? youâre scaring me a little.â
no response.
you couldnât fight it anymore.
âokay i lied angel youâre scaring me a lot please say somethingââ
a heartbreaking sob racked through your body, yuji wasting no time in scooping you up and setting you on his lap with worried filled eyes, his heart beating out of his fucking chest the longer he went not knowing what it was that had upset you so much.
âis it me? wasâ was it something i did? iââ
you only sobbed and sobbed and yuji let out an aching breath, him running an exasperated hand through his hair as he then cupped your cheek and pulled your face in, hurriedly wiping your tears away with his unoccupied hand while pressing fast kisses on your cheek again and again in between rounds, trying to make you feel better and soothe your hiccups.
âangel baby say somethingââ
âangel lâloves yuji.â you hiccuped, and he froze.
how did you⊠know that phrase? did you know what it reallyâ meant?
did you mean it? did you catch all of the times heâd told you?
âangel what..?â he asked softly, lowering his hand from your face.
you sniffled and dug the heels of your palms into your eyes.
âiâ i love you!â you sobbed.
from the amount of times yuji had told you, it was only natural for you to be curious and search for the meaning of the phrase through the pile of romance movies you had, the phrase conveniently repeated in every single one, though in different contexts and scenarios, the fact making it a little harder for you to figure out the true meaning behind it, until you happened to spot it in one of the childrenâs books yuji had given you to learn his language.
you realized then that âi love youâ had many different meanings.
it was universal⊠timeless, a phrase that could hold as little weight as it wanted or break the fucking scale, one that could be iterated to lovers and friends and family and things as it had no particular assignment, and one that was so sacred that those who had the privilege of receiving it often underestimated how precious it actually was, treating it like nothing.
âi love youâ perfectly combined all of the overwhelming things you felt for yuji in one beautiful phrase, and when youâd come to learn that heâd been saying it to you for months before you actually found out what it was, remembering when each time he did the moment was tender and lovelyâŠ
you wept, for you were just the luckiest fallen angel ever.
âyou love me..?â yuji spoke softly. âangel i⊠i donât know if you know what that really meansâŠâ
you picked your head up through your sobs.
âi love you.â
he held your gaze for a moment, unsure if he should let himself believe that you knew what it meant for the sake of his poor heart, but you sensed his uncertainty from a mile away and you just cried harder, knowing that you didnât have much time left to convince him otherwise.
âno!â yuji sputtered over your new wave of waterworks. âiâm sorry! iâm sorry angel you know that iââ
âangel loves yujiâŠâ you repeated. âbut angel has toâ go home.â
he blinked.
home? likeâ here?
âwhat do you mean babyâŠâ he wiped your tears with his thumb and pouted, wondering what he could say to get you to giggle instead of cry. âwe are home? you saying you donât like my stinky dorm anymore? hehââ
you pointed up.
âangel has to go home.â
yuji felt the blood drain from his face then.
you⊠wanted to leave him?
butâ but why? what did he do wrong whatâ what did he say? was it because of the âi love you?â whatâ
âyouâre leaving me angel?â he breathed out in heart breaking disbelief. âwhy? i donâtâ i donât understandââ
the stupid language barrier didnât allow you to properly convey that it wasnât you who wanted to leave, but the gods, the frustrating ache in your chest only growing larger seeing how yuji was misinterpreting what you meant.
âangel has to go homeââ
âbut why?â he desperately pushed, hands grabbing your wrists and blinking back tears, pleading. âwhy angel iâ iâm sorry okay? whatever it was that i did i take it back i didnât mean itââ
you shook your head and sobbed, gutted over the fact that you didnât know how to tell him that it wasnât his fault at all, that it had nothing to do with him and was strictly a situation between you and the gods only.
âyujiââ
âplease donât leave me pleaseâŠâ he hiccuped, letting go of your wrists to wrap his arms tight around your waist. âiâ i love you so fucking much angel what am iâ what am i supposed to do?ââ
the near year he spent with you was so grand that he forgot what life was like without you in it.
how was he supposed to live it now?
âangel lâloves yujiââ
âthen stay babyâŠâ he sobbed. âmâsorry for what i didââ
you frantically shook your head and sniffled.
âi thâthought you said youâd stay forever and now you wanna leaveââ
ânot angel.â you whimpered, pointing up. âgods.â
he wiped his blurry eyes and looked at you confusedly.
âwhat⊠the gods? the gods want you to leave?â
yes!
your gaze widened and you quickly nodded, lifting your hands to wipe away his wet handsome face, softly pecking his cheeks after in hopes of solidifying the message.
ânot angel⊠gods.â
his red eyes bitterly narrowed.
why the fuck were they trying to take you away from him now? after they literally exiled you in the middle of the street?
âno.â he retaliated. âtell the gods to piss offââ
you giggled through your tears and miserably shook your head.
âangel canâtâŠâ you hiccuped. âangel has to go home.â
yuji was utterly devastated.
âcan i⊠can i come with you?â he sniffled, wiping his eyes. âplease.â
you broke again and cried, throwing your arms around his head in a tight hugâ shattered over the sight of his wobbling lips and wet lashes.
âi love youâŠâ you whimpered. âokay?â
he hiccuped into your chest and nodded.
âi love you.â
you unwrapped your arms and carefully nudged his head up with your hands, tenderly cupping his cheeks once more as you gave him a tender sad smile.
âthank you for helping angel.â
yuji didnât think heâd ever cried this much⊠he didnât think it was possible until this very momentâ with your mesmerizing face that he tried to commit to memory as much as he possibly could, the sound of your sweet soft voice that he realized heâd never get to hear again after tonight, your smile that always eased him to the fullest no matter what circumstance, all things that he couldnât take knowing he was about to lose forever.
he grabbed your cheeks and mushed your lips up against his in a kiss before pulling back.
âdonât forget about me okay?â he sniffed. âtell yourâ tell your other angel buddies you have a man here on earth pleaseâŠâ
you laughed through your hiccups again and nodded, slowly allowing your soul to be consumed by the call of the gods as you gently rested your forehead against his, giving his nose a little nudge with yours.
âyuji donât forget angelâŠâ you softly whispered, and yuji caught sight of a bright white light gradually surrounding your frame then, basking your features in its glory and reminding him once more that you were indeed the most precious thing to ever cross his life.
ânever angel babyâŠâ he wiped his eye with his fist. âyouâre all iâm ever gonna see nowâŠâ
the light continued to grow, its ray so blinding that his eyes nearly stung, but he fought through the urge of shielding over them for the sake of getting to memorize as much of you while you slowly started to fade away, the sight of you hazy and fuzzy-like and the weight of you on his lap getting lighter and lighter with every passing second, everything happening at once and amplifying until all that was left of your image was a swirling misty cloud and the echo of your voice bidding him goodbye.
his dorm was oddly cold now. and big.
and yuji stared off into space, the only sounds heard in the room were the buzzing of his idle TV and him choking back sobs, his eyes dropping down to his lap and softening at what youâd left behind for him to remember you by.
a soft little white feather.
he didnât sleep much that night.
or the day after that⊠or the day after that.
or every single day that followed since your leave as he grieved the loss of you, wondering if this was how breakups felt like orâ or deaths of people you loved⊠or both, him confused by which category he fell under since you werenât technically dead, but you werenât physically alive either to trot around like most people going through break ups had the privilege of having.
because at least they still got to see their former partners in some way shape or form, whilst he didnât have anything of you besides the feather you left behind.
he was absolutely fucking miserable and lost the will to do anything, him having recurrent dreams about you almost every nightâ your giggles, your striking smile, your kindness for himâ all that brought him the greatest sense of peace while he was in them, and the greatest sense of agony while he was out of them, the little bit of paradise sinking the minute he opened his eyes every morning that fucked him up so much, he often forced himself to go back to sleep multiple times a day.
the first two months without you were the hardest for him.
his grades started slipping, his self care was nonexistent, his appetite was goneâ everything was gone as he just didnât want to do anything anymore, for almost anything that he did try to do immediately reminded him of you in some capacity, which would result in him breaking down in a puddle of tears and rotting away in his bed for the rest of the day, feeling stupid for even trying to get anything done in the first place.
half of the things he loved were blessedly tainted by you, and he felt like you truly took a part of him with you when you left, him finally getting what it meant to love a person so much and be tied to them so much that you lose a sense of self the minute that they decide to go away.
by the time it reached month three since you left, nobara and megumi were extremely concerned about him.
âyour place is disgusting.â megumi mumbled, him and nobara cautiously walking through the door upon yuji opening it and letting them in.
âstop megumi⊠let the man be.â nobara sighed, and yuji simply looked away, closing the door behind him and slugging over to his desk chair after. âheâs mourning his little angel.â
yuji felt a pang through his chest.
âanything else.â he muttered, and both megumi and nobara exchanged glances at his unusual tone.
âno justââ she gnawed at the inside of her cheek. âjust wanted to check up on you⊠see how youâre holding upâŠâ
clearly not very well with the way he had the darkest circles to ever exist under his tired eyes, and his skin so pale that they all knew had received not one lick of sunlight in the past couple of months.
âlisten yujiâŠâ nobara padded over to his unmade bed and sat. âplease start taking care of yourself⊠it fucking sucks that sheâs gone i know that⊠iâm sad too i literally cried for days i miss that sweet little thing and her gorgeous faceââ
megumi elbowed her and she stopped.
âoop! point isââ she sighed heavily through her nose. âweâre concerned for you⊠there was a throwback showing for human earthworm four at the student theater last week and you didnât even go.â
you didnât like human earthwormâŠ
yuji shrugged and leaned back against his desk chair, crossing his arms.
âthank you for checking on me... and iâm sorry for worrying you.â he spoke weakly. âbut iâm good... i just need toâ sit in it for a bit i guess.â
âfor a bit?â megumi muttered. âitâs been three monthsââ
nobara elbowed him and he stopped.
âyou try having a nice angel wife for a year and see how you feel when she disappears.â she spat. âidiotâŠâ
she turned back to yuji and nodded. âits okay man i get it⊠just donât sit in it for too too long⊠come hang out with us again soon, alright? when you feel up for it.â
he nodded, sending her a weak smile.
âweâll let you be then...â she stood and started making her way out of his dorm, patting him on the head as she did so and trudging over to the front door, megumi justâ standing there for a few moments before he began walking out himself.
âmâsorry about the angel.â he spoke lowly from over his shoulder. âshe was nice.â
yujiâs face softened and he nodded once more.
you were.
âthanks manââ
âyo.â
the three of them whipped their heads around to see the resident assistant by the archway of his open door, his eyes suspiciously scanning the whereabouts of yujiâs room as he craned his body around.
âiâm getting uh⊠reports that you had a girl living in here?â he stepped in and continued to twist his body to and fro, inspecting every nook and cranny in his dorm and getting hit with shock after shock over what he saw.
two toothbrushesâ pink and red, two bottles of shampooâ a three in one and coconut, dishes and silverware that came in sets of two, girls clothing tucked neatly in drawers or literally in plain fucking sight, perfume bottles, skin care, a picture frame with your face on itâ
âand iâm guessing you did.â the resident assistant exhaled slowly, shaking his head. âyou know youâre not supposed to do that dude thatâs likeâ rule one in the policy handbook.â
megumi rolled his eyes and turned, continuing to make his way out of the door.
âyeah? thatâs nice âcause i see you sneaking in the girlâs dorm sometimes so what rule number is that in the policy handbookââ
the resident assistant paled at megumiâs remark, nobara going into a fit of cackles before patting a heavy hand on the resident assistanâts back, amusedly shaking her head.
âyou dirty little dog⊠time to go!â
âhold onââ
the resident assistant ended up not doing anything in exchange for yuji answering a couple of questions about your stay at his dorm, ultimately choosing to let it go upon yuji telling him you both broke up and were moving out (and definitely not because megumi caught him red handed being a creep), the lot of them thankfully leaving him the hell alone after a few minutes of pointless bickering and finger pointing.
by month four, yuji had started to forget what your voice sounded like.
and notâ necessarily what it sounded like. he knew, of course he knew⊠but it was the clarity of it, as every time he thought about it or your giggles, the sound of your breathing or humming⊠the noise of it would just beâ fuzzy and low, and dissatisfying too that he sometimes got pissed at himself for forgetting when heâd literally told you not to forget him.
there was never a day that went by where you werenât on his mind, where he wasnât absentmindedly playing with the soft feather you had left behind, where he wasnât actively trying to heal and yet not at the same time⊠because healing meant patching up his heart and leaving you outside of it instead of in, healing meant getting over you, and he didnât want to do that in the least of bits.
you felt so distant from him that he sometimes thought you were never real⊠that heâd just gone crazy andâ imagined you for a year.
you were too good to be real.
âand todayâs word of the day is⊠lucky! thanks for tuning in tonight and watch out for thunderstormsââ
yuji shut off the radio and made a right turn, straining his eyes a little to try and see through the blundering hard rain that hadnât stopped for what was a couple of weeks now, him on his way back from his very last class of the dayâ looking forward to rotting away on his bed tonight and think about the piles of homework he was poorly going to do.
maybe heâd take up nobara on her offer to hang with her and megumi this weekendâŠ
mmm he was out of milk thoughâŠ
maybe next time.
he made an additional right and softly sighed, propping his elbow up on the little piece of dash by his window next to him, leaning the side of his head up against his fist as he listened to the pounding droplets of rain splattering on his windshield, making a mental note to not wash his car for the next couple of weeks until the thunderstorm went away.
or maybe he should⊠just to feel the high of wasting his money instead of devastating heartbreak⊠hmmmâŠ
heâll stop by the car wash tomorrowâ
âfuck!â
yuji stomped on the break and he flung forward, his seatbelt catching his upper body in the process and reeling him back, him sitting there in a few shock filled moments before coming out of it and putting his car in park with the hazard lights on.
there was a fat tree branch in the middle of the street that the rain probably broke off, yuji unbuckling his seatbelt then and tugging on the hood of his jacket, unlocking his door and stepping out into the rain that somehow felt heavier now the minute he got out of his car, him shielding his eyes with his palm as he hurriedly tried to get over to the branch and get rid of it so he could go home.
but the closer he got to the branch, the clearer his vision would get, and the more he realized that it actually wasnât a branch at all.
why did it⊠just moveâ
whatever it wasâ rolled over on the road and rose, seemingly struggling to do so through the rain as it lifted itâs headâ
yuji went fucking still.
why did the branch on the floor look like⊠you?
he hurriedly wiped his eyes and squinted them, starting to take slow steps forward and telling himself that heâd just officially gone batshit crazy, that his never-ending thoughts of you had finally manifested into physical hallucinations, that the sound of your little pained whine and you opening your doe eyes right now wasnât realâ
âangel!â
he booked it across the wet pavement, footsteps fast as he bolted through the rain with an ache in his chest, wishingâ hopingâ praying that it was really you, him feeling the most alive he had ever felt in this moment since the day you left while he ran with no fucks given, him heaving for air and nearly tripping over his feet as he got closer and closerâ
âhâ oh my godââ
it was you!
he stared, your head slowly picking up and hand coming up to shield your eyes from the heavy rain, your face lighting up the moment your gaze landed on him.
âyuji!â
he fell to his knees.
âbabyâŠâ
he shakily extended his arms out and leaned forward, his eyes fucking huge and expression unbelieving as you squealed and jumped into his awaiting embrace, him scared to move an inch incase this was all just another sick dream he was having about you, unknowing if he would be able to handle it once he woke up as this one was the most realistic and cruelest of allâ
âi missed you!â
his head snapped down, you already looking up at him with your chin propped up on his chest, the feeling of you fitting in his arms again like a perfect puzzle piece, the clear sight of youâ a picture-perfect fucking canvas with the prettiest face and the prettiest lips, the prettiest nose and the prettiest softest cheeks and the prettiest eyes and the prettiest everythingâŠ
all proved to him that you were very much real.
with him.
and he cried then⊠he cried and sobbed and hiccuped into your neck as you held him tight, your own tears rapidly welling in your eyes while you both remained there on the pavement through the thunder, you knowing that the rain hitting your skin was the godsâ own heartbroken tearsâ falling at the loss of you.
when the gods took you back up to the heavens, you caused absolute havoc at the golden gates and refused to even flutter through them, begging the gods to let you go and let you be with yuji, that you didnât want to be an angel anymore, that you fell in love and you felt like your place was no longer in the heavens with them, but in the arms of a man, it obvious to your brothers and sisters that you had been completely tainted by humankind and would never be the same again.
but the gods were in denial and refused, for you were their most precious angel and chose instead to let bygones be bygones, telling themselves to just give it time and that youâd eventually get back into the groove of being their sweet messenger, ignoring your every plea and protest and sending you on your merry way.
but that never happened.
and it became obvious to them that you were never going to be the same⊠no matter how much they wished for you to be.
so by the time your voice finally gave out from all the begging and screaming at them for you to be sent back to earth, they painfully granted your request, shocked and angry that their favorite prized angel had fallen into the claws of human temptationâ but yet still loved you so much that they were willing to let you go even if it meant you were happier in the arms of a man rather than in their own.
the weeks of rain that casted over yujiâs world was the gods weeping over the loss of stunning you.
they were grieving.
âthere no way⊠thereâs no way thereâs no wayââ
âits me yujiâŠâ you giggled, running a soothing hand down his back as he continued to hiccup into your neck, you feeling him freeze up then in your arms and snap his head up to look at you.
âyouâre⊠youâre talking baby.â he breathed out. âi meanâ you always did butââ
you softly smiled and nodded.
âi donât have wings anymore either.â
his face dropped and he craned his neck over, his eyes sure enough landing on your wingless back, a lump welling up in his throat as his stare caught sight of two faded linear scars where they used to be.
âwhat did they do to you?â he sniffled. âdid theyâ did they exile you again? did they hurt you?ââ
âno! silly yujiâŠâ
silly yuji.
he just about died.
âi asked them to let me go.â
his eyes softened as he looked at you, a tender smile crossing his lips as he used his thumbs to caress your pretty cheeks, the rain slowly lightening up as he gently leaned his forehead against yours, nudging your nose with his before pressing a soft little kiss to your lips that filled his soul with the purest form of happiness.
âi love you angel baby.â he trembled out. âi love you so so muchâŠâ
yujiâs days of suffering were finally over.
and so were yours as he took you back to your rightful home, as you blended into his life again like youâd never left to begin with, as you loved each other with every fiber of your beings and took care of each other everyday, the both of you giggly and bubbly and happy to finally be together again and enjoy life to the absolute fullest, as now you could finally relish in everything it had to offer without the heavy burden of your wings.
after yuji took you back home, it only rained for one additional day before the weeks long worth of thunderstorms finally seized, another round of peace settling in your soul over knowing that they had accepted your decision and sent you their sacred blessing, you elated that they were no longer bitter of the man whoâd stolen your angel heart, and instead chose to watch over him like they were doing for you.
the gods knew you were in good gentle hands that knew how to look after you better than theirs ever could, even if it was at the cost of you becoming a fallen angel.
they knew you were happy, they knew you were in loveâŠ
⥠in which... the jjk men get cuteness overload/agression over you.
⥠featuring... yuji, megumi, toji, choso, sukuna (heian era sukuna, his bit is suggestive !)
⥠Yuji Itadori
You and Yuji often get together for movie nights, and tonight's not the exception. After persuading him into letting you choose the movie this time, you thought you'd be more immersed, but the way your eyes are drooping mid watch is proving quite the opposite.
You love the movie you picked, but the tiredness from the day is catching up to you. You wanted to unwind, sure, but not to be so relaxed you'd end up fighting sleep! Yuji was fully immersed in the movie, but it only takes him some glances in your direction to tell you're drifting off. And Yuji being Yuji, he can't help but point it out immediately.
"Sleeping on me, really?" He teases, and you jolt awake. "No! I'm just... resting my eyes."
"For two whole minutes?"
"Uh... maybe?"
Yuji laughs a little at your half-assed answer, yet his grin soon softens. He pauses the movie, quitting the teasing early today. "We can keep watching some other time, I know you had a busy day. You should rest, you can take my bed."
"No! I won't," You shake your head quickly, "We're only missing like, forty minutes of the movie. I can handle it."
"If you're sure..." "I am."
Yuji shrugs when you confirm again, deciding to respect your determination. And he didn't want to see you fail, but when your eyes fall shut five minutes in, he can't help the smile on his face.
"Resting your eyes again?" He quips, chuckling softly as you're startled again.
"Nope!" You manage to answer, "This part's just pretty boring."
"Boring? We just got a huge plot twist!"
"Well, it gets boring when you know what happens!"
You groan as Yuji bursts into laughter again, knowing he's fully aware you're bullshitting your way through this conversation. He decides to leave you alone for now, though, mostly because he's kinda interested on the climax of the movie, but also because he knows you're not in right headspace for this.
When the movie's nearing its end, Yuji relaxes and leans back on the couch. He had been stealing more glances here and there, watching how your eyes went lidded until you made the effort to keep them open again. It made his heart swell with affection... but nothing quite like now, when he feels the weight of your head falling on his shoulder.
You're out cold. The soft glow of the TV reflects on your face, and your hair's getting in the way from the tilting of your head to meet his shoulder. He shifts slightly so you're more comfortable, and you unconsciously curl into him, your hand gripping his sleeve.
Yuji's heart does this thing in which it threatens to stop beating for a second, and he almost wishes it actually did. He's spiraling. You've never fallen asleep on movie night, or in his vicinity in general. Usually, there's enough energy from the two of you in the room to last for the entire night, And you watch two or three movies in a row before deciding to call it quits. Now? You didn't even reach the credits, and you're humming sleepily while seeking his warmth. And he's NOT surviving it.
Yuji kinda wishes you were the type to snore, or talk in your sleep. Maybe even be a sleep walker. Instead, he finds out you're a cuddler. By being the victim of your embrace, of all ways. Guess that's why you have tons of plushies in your room. He just wishes he didn't have to bite on his fist to avoid screaming and jumping around from the rush of feelings he's getting.
You mumble something in that tiny, sleepy voice that only comes out in this state, and his heart suffers another violent stab of affection. He's bouncing his leg, looking away, doing just about anything to refrain himself from startling you awake. But he can barely control himself, and it's patetically showing.
That's when he switches tactics. Instead of praying to calm down and let you sleep on his shoulder like a normal person, he tries to nudge your head sliightly away with a finger. Just enough so there's a little space between you and you can't continue using him as your pillow. But your head falls back in place against him, his attempt unsuccessful.
After, he pushes your head away and forward with his hand, trying to make it comfortably rest on this cushion he's holding behind your head... But it slides off again, this time falling into his chest.
Oh, this worse. This is worse this is worse this is so much worseâ because your asleep self seems to find this new place so much more comfortable, your face burying itself in the crook of his neck instantly. And now his heart is practically lurching on his chest, a quiet yelp escaping him at the intimacy of the situation.
So what does a man do when found himself in such a compromising spot?
Wake you up, probably.
But Yuji's not just any man, because instead, he spends the next 20 minutes staring at the ceiling while gripping the couch's armrest with all his might.
Once you stir awake, you blink sleepily until straightening up, mumbling apologies. Yuji nods stiffly, facing away from you, acting like it was no big deal.
You rub your eyes with your palms, going on about how cuddly you 'sometimes' get when you're tired or sleepy, how you didn't mean to make things awkward.
Yuji reassures you immediately, saying he was too focused on the movie to even notice you drew closer. You appear to believe him, leaning back in the couch with a quiet exhale.
To occupy the silence, Yuji fills you in with his commentary on the movie, giving his general thoughts.
But the part in which he almost had a breakdown because you were too close? He thinks he'll keep that to himself.
⥠Megumi Fushiguro
Megumi's sitting on the bed, scrolling on his phone while he waits for you to come out from the bathroom. He just wants to relax with you for a while, maybe watch a movie before bed or just cuddle the night away (though he'd never say it out loud), but you're sure taking your sweet time inside. He thinks you're just being thorough, probably going through those long night routines you put yourself through sometimes. But nothing could have prepared him for the view when you came back in the room.
"Megs, over here!" You call out with a giggle, standing at the doorframe. His eyes are halfway closed, he's already considering skipping the movie and going straight to sleep, but you're still here and probably up to something.
Megumi sighs, lifting his head to look at you like he's being held at gunpoint, but his eyes widen once they fix on your frame.
"Is that...?" He trails off, a strong flurry of emotion washing over him as he takes everything in. You're wearing a comfy onesie with an adorable strawberry pattern, and you brought his dogs with you and made them wear strawberry hats.
the sight of you matching with his dogs felt so life threatening he had the urge to rise his fists and end the menacing feeling right there.
But he snaps out of it, aware of the obvious truth that this is not a violent situation yet wondering why the hell it felt like his heart would stop when he saw you.
"I saw these online and I couldn't resist buying them. The little hats can be gotten on sale when bought together with the onesie, can you believe it? That's such a cute combo!" You comment happily as you sit down by his side, his body visibly stiffening at your sudden closeness. Shiro and Kuro pad over as well, their hats so ridiculous he wonders how you managed to put them on without them making a fuss. They're always so compliant with you for whatever reason.
"So, do you like it?" You ask, brows knitting together as you see him stare at the floor. "Megumi?"
"You look fine." He answers curtly, turning even further to the side. His heart's pounding away in his chest, to the point where he's worried if you're able to hear it. And if this were anyone else he'd say the idea's stupid, but he can't deny the physical evidence of the effect this little stunt is having on him.
You don't seem deterred at his lukewarm answer, noticing the tinge of red on the tips of his ears despite his efforts to conceal his embarrassment. You scoot closer and he instinctively covers his face, clearly doing a conscious effort to appear composed, but a mere glance your way in that dumb outfit is enough to have him spiraling again.
"I'll go to the bathroom." Megumi announces while standing up abruptly, making a beeline to said room. You laugh freely now that he's out of sight, the way he attempts to act nonchalant while being obviously affected never fails to amuse you.
When Megumi returns, he sits by your side like nothing happened, avoiding looking at you for obvious reasons. He spends five whole minutes stealing glances your way while he listens to you talk, trying to convince himself that he's composed now.
"Hey, Megs?" His attention's fully back on you at the mention of his name, tilting your head in your general direction. "What?"
"Remember how I said the hat and onesie were a combo purchase?" you ask and he nods automatically, "well, in order to get two hats, I bought two onesies, so..."
Megumi slowly turns to face you fully, the meaning of your comment obvious. "If you think I'll wear one just to match with you-"
"Then I'd be right?"
"Of course not."
But Megumi's a bit of a liar sometimes, because you only had to say 'please' once for him to cave and wear the remaining onesie.
Later that night, he's laying on bed with you in his arms, cursing how absurdly comfortable the material of the pajamas is. You're already asleep, but he's having a hard time doing the same now that he can admire you freely.
There's no one around (at least not awake) to judge him, but he still can't let go of his grumpy expression, annoyed at how his heart's racing and his face remains warm.
He groans to himself, rubbing his face with his palm.
It's going to be a long night for Megumi.
⥠Toji Fushiguro
"What's so important you can't spare me your attention?"
"Just need a minute to pick a nice horse to bet on, doll."
"Okay? You'll lose even if you do your research."
"Zip it, brat."
You grumble and dramatically flop in the bed beside him, your efforts to annoy Toji have been futile. He's too fixated on his stupid horses, and yeah it's only been three minutes but you're his partner! You came to see him so you could spend time with him, not watch him plan how he'll gamble his money away.
You're in one of those 'attention seeking' moods as Toji likes to call them, and you own up to the name with all your might. He doesn't want to pay attention to your lovely self in every minute he's on your presence? Then you'll force him to acknowledge you. You're hella bored anyway, and it's fun to mess with him. So you sit up and begin rummaging through your purse, already scheming.
"Since you're so busy, you won't mind being my model, right?" You ask as you get out your makeup pouch, "I want to test some techniques. You just have to stay still, anyway."
Toji raises an eyebrow like he has no idea what business his skin could have to do with your makeup that you use on yourself, but he refuses to give you the satisfaction and just shrugs. "Be my guest."
You frown slightly, not pleased with his lack of reaction, but you take it in stride and decide to have fun with it.
You begin using Toji's arm as a canvas, drawing lines with lipstick, blending concealer on his skin, and particularly doing things that make no sense at all. You're just messing with him, making it obvious this serves no purpose, but he just hums and let's you do whatever you want. And while making a mess out of his skin is fun, you're not achieving anything. Time to try something else.
You turn to your purse again, getting out a sheet of stickers you conveniently brought with you. Toji watches from the corner of his eye, distracted but good enough at hiding it, before going back to mindlessly scroll through the options on his phone. "You're gonna 'test something' with those too?"
"Yeah- yeah." You reply as you reach for the first one, "Just testing their stickiness on skin. Important business, really. You wouldn't get it."
"Sure, sure." Toji drawls, remaining still and calm as you place the stickers on his skin. You go up to his neck this time, and even stick some in his face. And though he's undisturbed, you're having way more fun with this activity. The sight of Toji with stickers all over his body amuses you so, and your smile only widens the more you go on.
You firmly press one on his cheek, before looking for your phone. You need to take a picture of him like this, and if he wants to keep acting indifferent to you, then you'll at least have a memory of sticker-filled face. You spot your phone and are about to grab it, but Toji suddenly hooks a finger under your chin and tilts your face towards him.
"Toji-?" You're silenced as he cups your face with one hand, squishing your cheeks. "Hey!"
"Shh... C'mere." Toji reaches for the sticker sheet you left behind, lazily pressing the remaining ones to your face. It's his little revenge for what you did on him, and he's enjoying it by the way he's smirking at you. You squirm the whole time, but he always pulls your hands away with infuriating ease, making it so you never get to interrupt his process.
It doesn't even take a whole minute for the sheet to be completely empty, your face as full of stickers as his. Toji stares at his handiwork appreciately, though he's more pleased at your annoyance than the decoration on your face. He squishes your cheeks repeatedly. "Much better, ain't it? Now you can go ahead and take all the pictures you want."
"You...!" You punch weakly at his chest, displeased that he outsmarted you. But Toji's smirk only widens, a strange warmth blooming in his chest at the sight of you sulking all pretty with those silly stickers on your face.
"C'mon, you wanted a picture, didn't you? Let's get it." He pulls you closer with a headlock, his hold loose but firm enough to get you in place. He reaches for your phone, snapping a selfie of you two in that position. You glare at the camera all the way, though your resolve breaks halfway and you smile. He manages to get that on camera too, clearly pleased with this outcome.
"Happy?" He asks with obvious sarcasm, that annoyance returning to you tenfold. You twist your head enough to bite on his bicep, but he nudges you closer and bites your cheek.
"Toji!" You complain immediately, and he huffs out a laugh. He really was holding back this affectionate restlessness, but the urge of biting and squeezing you in his arms grows worse the more you fight back.
"What? You started it." He shrugs as you rub the sting away. "Now stay put for a while, I couldn't get anything done 'cause of you."
You groan in exasperation at his comment. The admission that you successfully disturbed him pleases you, but you wanted to get his attention long-term, not slow down his process. Still, you both lay down in bed, his arm still locked around you, making a surprisingly comfortable pillow for you.
Toji occasionally squeezes you tighter, and reaches to bite your shoulder or ear out of nowhere. You scold him each time, but he's not deterred. That funny feeling's sitting deep inside him, faint but present, and even with your chiding he's exactly where he wants to be.
You pretended to hate it all, but you set the picture he took as your homescreen as soon as you were alone again. And you heard it from Shiu, but he set it as his wallpaper for your chat. his homescreen would be too public, he didn't want randos to be looking at you. specially not work-related people. shiu was the exception because the bastard's nosy as hell.
You're a menace, but so he is. Maybe that's why you match each other so well.
Better start plotting in which way you'll annoy him next time.
⥠Choso Kamo
You woke up in a cheerful mood, a pleasant feeling running through your body. It's sunny outside, the birds are chirping, and it's the ideal weather for a date. You texted Choso as soon you could, and as the great boyfriend he is, he made his way over in a whim.
You planned to go walk through the park together, feed the pigeons and everything. After, you'd set up a picnic when you felt hungry. Then you'd just lay there for a while, talking and enjoying each other's company. Choso was already in the living room, waiting so you could walk from your home to where you'd spend your time together. And as perfect as you were hoping the date would pan out, you really wanted to dress accordingly.
You're a bit nervous, you have to admit. This isn't your first date with Choso, but there's a feeling of novelty today that's making you both giddy and unsure. For your dates, you've usually played it safe styling-wise because you didn't want to overdo it. But you're inspired enough to give it a try, so you choose from those outfits you were saving for special occasions.
You take a bit longer than usual getting ready, styling your hair, picking out your accessories carefully and making sure to use your favorite perfume. Once you're done, you take a quick look at the mirror, before finally going out to where Choso is still waiting.
Choso's a sweetheart, you remind yourself. The only opinion that matters is his, and he's always been supportive to you. The worst he could do is not compliment your look because he thinks you're beautiful as you are (an overwhelmingly good result, definitely). You call him softly to get his attention, hyping yourself up with those thoughts.
When Choso takes in your look, his reaction is immediate. But he doesn't compliment or reassure you, he just starts... crying?
Wait. CRYING???
"Choso-! Are you okay?!" You rush over to him, horror etching on your features at the sudden predicament. He's covering his face with a hand, giving you a weak nod as he sniffles.
"Oh my- what happened?! You were fine just now, was it the outfit? Is it- is it bad or something?" You ask in a small, worried voice, and Choso perks up immediately. He cups your face with his hands, eyes locking with yours with an intensity that belies the tears in his face. He shakes his head firmly.
"None of that. You just..." A sniffle. "You're too cute."
You stiffen. "...What."
"The colors, the pretty accessories, the way it all matches you... it's making me feel like when I see adorable puppies compilations. But it's you, so it's worse."
"It-" You splutter, "It what?"
"Your bag... You're wearing the fuzzy cat bag, it's really cute." He replies in a tone so pitiful you have to hold back a laugh. "There's also that small bow in your hair, which by the way looks specially nice today. I've never seen you with those clothes before, but you still smell like you. It's making my heart beat too fast, and telling my arms they need to be around you."
You finally laugh freely, both reassured and endeared. Shaking your head in amusement, you open your arms. "You can come and hug me, Cho."
And he doesn't need to be told twice, holding you firmly against him.
"You cry so easily, you know," you tease him softly, wiping his tears when he pulls back.
"You make me feel a lot of things." Choso admits, before pausing. "...You might not want to go out like this, though. You'll make other people cry too."
You chuckle, "I don't think they'll cry... they might just compliment me if they're bold enough. Worst case scenario, someone might try to flirt with me, but tears aren't likely."
"Flirt?" Choso straightens up slightly, thinking deeply about the word. He didn't quite get why some would make moves on taken people, seeing as pointless. You've always shown yourself uncomfortable when others flirt with you so shamelessly, though, so he quickly turns more serious.
"I won't let them bother you." Choso states, his stance turning protective.
"I know, I know." You giggle again, looping your arm with his as that giddiness returns. Choso's gaze softens at the action, face flushing faintly. "Shall we go, then?" You ask, and he manages to nod.
Something about him being so easily moved to tears pulls at your heartstrings, even if you know he wasn't actually hurt. It all just reminds you of how pure his feelings are, how he just can't hide anything when it comes to you.
You begin your walk together, with Choso both alert at the environment and stealing little glances at you. Glances that get him flustered each time, a bashfulness that's so apparent in his face.
You can't help but smile everytime you catch him looking, warmth spreading over your chest all over again.
And with your confidence back, you're sure this will be an amazing date.
⥠Ryomen Sukuna
You are Sukuna's most beloved concubine, and this is a surprise to nobody.
Dressed in the finest silks, spoiled with frequent gifts and indulged more than anyoneâ no one dared to defy your status as the king of curses favored one. No one with a will to live, at least, if the executions of those who bothered you had anything to say in the matter.
Perhaps it was difficult to understand for outsiders, Sukuna himself doesn't know how it happened, but there's something in your presence that sets him at ease. He's grown fond of your presence and requires it often, always looking for you on his leisure time.
Which explains why he's heading to the gardens, knowing you enjoy being there on your free time.
Could he have just requested your presence? Yes, of course. But he finds it most amusing to see you naturally interact with your environment, so he makes his way himself without haste.
Sukuna spots you easily, standing in front of your crouched form with his arms crossed. You notice him right away, his imposing shadow looming over you in a way that's imposible to ignore. Without missing a bit, you turn your head to meet his gaze. "My lord, do you require something of me?"
"Nothing but your presence, you may even pretend I am not here. However, I also wonder why you sit on the floor like a child playing with dirt." He gives you a once over, making you feel overly aware of your position. You're not intimidated, still, remaining in place as you point at the basket in your lap.
"I sometimes see bunnies, deers and other creatures running across the garden. I wished to offer them some berries, in hopes they'd interact with me." You answer honestly.
"If you wanted a pet of sorts I could have had one captured one for you." Sukuna offers practically.
"While I'm thankful of your intentions, their comfort is my top priority." You gracefully refuse. "I merely enjoy interacting with them once in a while, I don't wish to disrupt their lives."
Your answer's absurdly naive to Sukuna, but that's part of your charm to him. It doesn't bore him if it comes from you, your human empathy has yet to stop amusing him.
In fact, your words about those animals remind of how he feels about youâsomeone whose presence he desires but whom he does not want to harm. At such realization, he refrains from questioning you this once.
Instead, he shifts his stance, gaze lifting to the patches of green laid ahead. "Have you been successful in your pursuit?"
You smile wryly, dissapointment barely concealed behind your gaze. "Well yes, somewhat. It's not the first day I seek them out, so they've grown more curious about the food, and seem to understand I am not a threat. They must feel threatened by others, still, as they ran away when they noticed I had company."
"Would you be implying I scared them away?" He asks with a raised eyebrow, his tone sharp but laced with mirth.
You catch the lack of threat easily, your tone still soft as you answer. "That could be the case, but it would have happened with anyone, my lord. These creatures are skittish, and anything unknown makes them go back into fearfulness. Perhaps I should leave the basket here for them and return some other day."
Sukuna knows you're indirectly answering in affirmation to his question, but god do you have a way to reply in ways that never set him off. He can read the melancholy in your tone no matter how much you try to conceal it, though. He's aware you wanted to see your stupid animals, and that his presence is far too threatening to make any living being come close. So, with the heaviness that comes with wanting to be selfish and steal you away, but loving you enough to put your needs before his, he stops you.
"No such thing. You'll remain sat and fulfill your ridiculous whim, I may spare you some minutes. Make sure they come over fast. I don't want to wait for you all day."
Sukuna walks away from you, leaving you dumbfounded. He's still at a distance in which he can see you, but he's given you space to continue. You know this is the way he shows you affection, so you quietly appreciate it and hold the treats out once more.
It takes a few minutes, but some rabbits begin approaching you. You're ecstatic, you've seem them get closer and closer for days but never enough to make contact. This once, a bold one cautiously hops closer, eating straight from your hand.
You can't help your smile, the sight is adorable. It's even better once more start coming closer, the tiny creatures surrounding you now that they're sure you're safe.
You're fawning over them, cooing and breathing out whispers of awe. You're restraining your movements as much as you can, cautious so you won't scare them away, but there's obvious contentment in your actions.
Now, while you're taken by the rabbits' cuteness, Sukuna can't help but be focused on you instead. And they could be soft, fuzzy and whatever other crap you see in them, but they have nothing on you and that soft smile you're sporting. No living being gets close, not with the way he's finding true pleasure in your joy.
And Sukuna's felt this before, this pleasantness that thrums and runs through his body in soft waves. The one he chases, the reason why he insists on watching you perform the most menial of tasks. But this time? This time's different. And he's not sure if he's understanding what's going on at the moment.
In your time together, you've made Sukuna feel many things. The softness afore mentioned that he reluctantly got used to, the quiet pride in knowing you're his to be with. The ire that warps him when someone wrongs you, the lust that swallows him when you're alone in your chambers.
But this? This is strange. The softness is there, but it's hitting him intensely in an uncharacteristic way. There are no gentle waves washing him over, but rather a seaquake threatening to drown him.
It's sharp in a manner that resembles his hunger for blood and death. It makes him feel like sinking his teeth into you, crushing your frame against his.
But the sensation's not telling him he wants to hurt you, which is weirdly contradictory for the intensity he's feeling towards you.
If there's one thing Sukuna's not fond of, it's uncertainty. He allows it in a certain amount sometimes, all for his own amusement, but he's not enjoying not being able to identify this.
So he quits trying to analize it and makes a bold assumption, interpreting the feeling as whatever feels closer to it.
"I trust you had your fun." Sukuna returns to your side, the bunnies running away as fast as they can. You give him a nod, pleased that you achieved your goal for a few minutes.
"I enjoyed it. But are you feeling unwell? You look... unsettled." You ask worriedly, standing up as you take in his tight expression. It's really taking everything in Sukuna to keep how he's feeling under wraps, but your genuine concern paired with the image of your soft state earlier is enough to undo him.
"Irrelevant. Come to my chambers." He dismisses curtly, already turning around.
"My lord...? Are you sure?" You ask in a gentle tone, and he feels another sharp tug to his chest. He clenches his teeth.
"Must I repeat myself? Stubborn. I'll bring you over myself." He wastes no time making good on his word, holding you in his arms and pulling you taut to his chest. He walks straight in direction to his private room, the same frown that concerned you still fully set on his face.
Sukuna crosses the state in long strides, servants immediately get out of his way. Once you're inside, he sets you down in the bed, and you have the gall to question him again. He glares at you, but still answers. "You've placed inconvenient feelings inside of me, so it's your task to take care of them."
See, Sukuna's mind might appear complex to others, but his logic is fairly simple. Since the restless energy he felt towards you was not violent, it could only mean one other thing. And he was going to make sure he'd get rid of this vexating feeling, and you were going to help him like you knew how to.
Affection and ferocity coexisting? Unfathomable in his head.
Just be a good concubine and let him take this out on you, yeah?
