Yuji Itadori has never wanted to be the centre of attention. Not even when he lands the biggest home run of the decade, or when he crosses another finish line first, smashing records that the campus wonāt stop bragging about.
As soon as the clock strikes seven, heās gone.Ā
No frats, no parties, no messy drama. In the kindest, nicest phrasing possible, heās a dud. Heāll even disappear mid-conversation, too, sprinting off with some sorry excuse of a āstudy session.ā And if youāve ever seen his grades, youād wonder how these āstudy sessionsā even happen at all.
Well, he is a jockāand he is reciting his script for tomorrowās anthropology presentation... Just with someone else hanging upside down beside him, cocooned in sticky white web on some cityside rooftop.
...Hold up. Rewind one hour.
Gunshots echoed, bullets ricocheting, and in the midst of this circus of a firework show, there Yuji wasādodging clattering cans, cartons, and cereal boxes he was trying to save.
The robber, in his ridiculous ski mask, barreled through the aisles in his frantic craze with his crowbar.Ā
āOut of my way!ā he shouted, knocking over another pyramid of canned chickpeas.
Yuji smirked.
Suddenly, a web shot out from his wrist, and the robber yelped as the strand snagged his ankle, tripping him into innocent chips. Itās almost pitiful as his arms flailed helplessly, packs crashing at the spectacle. With a grin, Yuji shot another string of white around the manās torso.
āRelax! Iām the friendly neighbourhood jockāwait, superhero! Friendly neighbourhood superhero!ā
Though the robber still spun in place, tumbling like a washing machine on spin cycle, āYou littleāā
Yuji fired again, webbing his arms and yanking him upright, āOhhh, you like being dramatic? We can do dramatic.ā
Another around the legs, another around the torso, and suddenly the man found himself dangling midair like a piƱataāarms pinned to his sides, legs stiff as broomsticks. A jar of olives bounced off his head for emphasis.
āPUT ME DOWN! WHAT IS THISā?!ā
With a swing from the shelf, Yuji landed with flair, crouching on a layered stack of cereal boxes as he grinned in amusement. āRelax, dude. Youāre⦠uh⦠artfully suspended. Also, please stop moving, youāre making me dizzy.ā
To his dismay, the robber still gyrated, knocking over carts and cans skittering across like tiny rockets. Thankfully, Yuji ducked just in time. With a sigh, he simply shot another web again.
āHold still! Or I swear, Iāllāwait, nope, Iām not threatening you. Iām⦠just trying to help! With style!ā
So, fast-forward to now, and really, itās just another Tuesday in 2010s New York.
āThe main cultural differences shape America ināā
āHey! Can you let me down already?!ā
Yuji, eyes squinted, snaps his head toward the man, coins jingling from his pockets. But he isnāt frowning at the robber⦠He just canāt read his notebook properly, especially with the thin fabric over his eyes. Each word is blurred into hazy smudges of grey.
Sometimes, Yuji Itadori doesnāt mind being the centre of attention.
Not when he's wearing the tight red-and-blue jumpsuit Nobara had stitched for him, seams puckered in all her nagging perfection.
Not when Megumiās techādefinitely not borrowed, not stolen from his labāglimmers faintly at his wrists.
And not when local news crews are scrambling to post grainy cellphone footage online, captions labelled with ridiculous, corny hashtags like #NYCSpidey, #OvercaffeinatedAcrobat, and #UnmaskThisGuy.
As soon as his last lecture of the day ends, he pulls down the mask, slips into the famous suit, and swings through the empire city that never sleeps.
Heās not Yuji Itadori anymore. Heās Spider-Man.
But tonight, though, he has an even greater problem than petty robberies and saving cats in trees. He has college.
āDude, can you keep it down? I have an assignment due tomorrow, and Iām stuck here babysitting youā" Police sirens wail in the distance, cutting him off. And underneath his mask, he simply smirks, snapping his notebook shut as red and blue sweep across the graffitiāscrawled walls. āAaand thatās my cue.ā
With a flick of his wrist, the man is left gaping, flailing uselessly as Yuji leaps from the ledge.Ā
The moon hangs low and full tonight. In the midst of its glow, he arcs over streets, headlights glinting like glass, weaving in between scaffolding poles. Trash swirls in the gusts around him, while faint damp concrete lingers as he glides past flickering streetlamps. The grids of blocks lie dark, the breeze sharp, yet every window glimmers with golden light; theyāre constellations scattered across the city that guide him home.
Even if what he does is nowhere near world-changing, heās always reminded that the city is full of life and narratives. Every window, every golden light that spills through each pane of glass, hides a storyāa heartbeatāand that fact alone is enough to lessen the weight of his double life just a bit.
As always, while swinging past, his gaze skims the streets, searching through the blur of headlights and shadows. He finds you like clockwork. Trudging home, arms full of groceries: a paper bag with lettuce, a baguette tucked under your arm, and vegetables brimming atop. Youāre humming a song from your dangling earbuds, oblivious to the world around you.
He doesnāt mean to stare, but when you live in the same flat, coming home at the same time he clocks out from patrol⦠well, itās only natural he makes sure his crush roommate gets home safe, too, right?
āI wonder what sheās making tonightā¦ā he mutters.
With one soft push, he slips his window open and dives back inside.
The wooden floor doesnāt even creak under his landing, and the globe lamp atop his desk glows like a dim moon over scattered paper. He passes sticky notes plastered across his wall, zipping out his suit and tossing his book onto the bed. Stepping out, he flicks on the hallway lightsāand it isnāt long before he hears the usual.Ā
Your keys, the gentle click of the lock, and the first step you take inside, wrapped in the flatās cosy warmth.
āWelcome back!ā Yuji beams, hair tousled.
You nod back with a smile, shutting the door behind as you toe off your shoes. As you set the bag of groceries onto the kitchen island, you give him a smug smirk. āDid you just wake up?ā
His eyes dart away, guilty, all while he rubs the back of his neck. A sheepish chuckle escapes. ā...Maybe?ā
You raise an eyebrow, sighing as he pulls a chair from the island.Ā
Ever since you moved in together with your childhood friend, youāve learned three things about him: he eats terribly, naps like a cat, and will stare at you from the corner of the room with glassy, desperate eyes if he ever smells food.
And whether he admits it or not, you know when to drag him by the wrist, plop him down in front of a bowl, and pour him something warm. Youāve done it since high school. Youāre still doing it now.
Sure, heās stubborn, but so are you, and tonight is no different.
āIām just making some simple tomato soup,ā you say, spreading the groceries across the counter.
The city skyline glitters faintly from behind him, setting aglow the twinkling fascination in his golden eyes.
āBecause youāā you tap his forehead with a finger, nudging him back, āare finishing your presentation script tonight. And Iām helping you with it.ā
His eyes widen. āWhat?! How do you know about that?ā
āIf I have to hear Megumi complain one more time about you cramming your share of the load,ā you groan, washing the vegetables, āI might start seeing both of you in my dreams.ā
āOopsā¦ā Yuji whistles, caught red-handed.
In the corner of your eye, you see him drift over as you slice the tomatoes.
āCan I help you cook then? Yāknow⦠as repayment?āĀ
You nearly slice the tip of your finger at the audacity, but his hands, as usual, catch your wrist before anything disastrous happens. āYou?ā
You turn to look at him, his smile as bright as ever. āThe last time you offered, everything tasted bland.ā
He pouts under your gazeālips pursed, brows scrunched. āIāll never learn if I donāt try...ā
A beat passes.
You sigh in resignation, and thatās all he needs. Yujiās already pumping his fists triumphantly in the air, snatching the spare apron hanging off the oven handle.
āLetās goooo!ā he cheers.
On the other hand, you giggle at his flippant victory cry, but you donāt notice how his gaze lingers on you in the soft golden kitchen lightāthe curve of your eyes, the bloom of your cheeks. Heās taller than you, so it goes unnoticed, hidden in the shadow between you.
āAnd this time, donāt forget the salt,ā you tease, stepping toward the pot.
āYeah, yeahāoh! Put on that Cowboy Bebop opening. Itās been stuck in my head all day.ā
You frown, eyeing the tiny apron stretched ridiculously over his frame. Your thumbās already swiping across your battered iPhone 4, searching. When the first chord blasts, Yuji just stares.
āBased on how youāre holding that knife,ā you chortle, āthis feels more fitting.ā
āā¦You think Iām gonna break into kung-fu fighting?!ā
You shrug mockingly, moving to boil the water as he sputters just beside you. And it isnāt long before the kitchen settles into a cosy rhythmāthe chop of vegetables, the hiss of butter, the soft swirl of simmering brothāand of course, your constant two-minute interval scoldings.
āWhy are the tomatoes diced like⦠that?ā
āI-I swear someone did this on Hellās Kitchen last nightāā
āI told you a little oil. Why is the pan half full?!ā
āUhā¦ā
āIām monitoring what kind of weird cooking shows youāre watching from now on.ā
Soon enough, all thatās left is the soupās fragrance wafting throughout the roomāsun-ripe tomatoes, roasted garlic, and basil blooming bright with butter. It smells like warmth, like home, and the little life youāve carved out together. Even Yuji stops mid-chop, knife still hovering in the air, just to inhale.
āHere you go,ā you say, sliding the bowl toward him. On cue, he drops into his chairāshoulders rolling, a quiet sigh slipping past his lips. He thinks you donāt notice, but his fingers are still faintly red around the knuckles. The moment his eyes land on the bowl, something bright flickers in him.
The soup glows a deep orange-red, thick and velvety, droplets of olive oil shimmering across its sheen like tiny flecks of gold. Steam curls upward, brushing his cheeks, and in the dead of winter, the warmth blooms against him like late summer. Softening the night sky, brightening it like morning light.
When he takes the first spoonful, his eyes go wide.
Silence hangs in the room, but he just sets the spoon down gently, shoulders dropping another inch. He takes another bite, slower, and holds it in on his tongue. Under the table, his foot taps out its usual restless beat to a steady rhythm.
You have no idea what kind of day heās had to be this hungry.
You donāt see the scuff on the side of his shoe, from where he landed too fast on the rooftop across the street. Or the tiny tear at the hem of his sleeve, where something sharp grazed him. Or the way heād winced when you turned away earlier, instantly straightening as if nothing had happened.
All you see is Yujiāsunshine, sweetnessādevouring the soup as if itās literally saving him. You quietly rest your chin in your hands, grinning while he inhales spoonful after spoonful, like itās the single greatest thing heās tasted all week.
āIs it good?ā you coo, and he nods so fast his hair bounces.
With all his enthusiasm, a smear of soup somehow ends up on the corner of his lip. He doesnāt notice, but you do, and youāre giggling before you can stop yourself.
You turn toward the window, watching the city smear into streaks of gold and red, and in that split second, he lifts his gaze, eyes catching on you. His spoon pauses halfway to his mouth, suspended in midair, forgotten for the still of a heartbeat as his own breath stumbles, chest rising too quickly in the quiet. Goosebumps prick along his arms, and this time, it isnāt from the danger his sixth sense is warning him of. Itās from the way the skyline burns in your eyes, as if every light in New York decided to gather just to admire you with him.
He catches the soft amber strokes on your cheeks as your small smile curls like cotton-soft warmthāand underneath the dim neon glow, you look too gentle for the shadows, too bright for the night. For a breathless moment, he wants to steal you away.
To borrow you from the world, and keep this evening tucked somewhere only for the two of you.
ā...Letās go see something.ā The words slip out before he can catch them.
You blink up at him, and the room instantly falls away, softened to all but a hush of the world. āWhat?ā
Heās already getting up from his seat, draping his jacket over your shoulders as he takes your bowl. Without a word, he just reaches out for your hand, urging you to take his lead. Following him to the window, you watch as he pushes it open to the rushing cold air.
āWhat are youāā
āTrust me.ā
He steps onto the fire escapeās metal platform. You hesitate for only a heartbeat, then follow, fingertips brushing the cold iron railing. Halfway up, he glances back at you, and his smile spills across the dim rooftop glow. Brighter than Manhattanās windows, brighter than the neon signs, and even more so than the giddiness in your chest.
Your heart stutters for a bit.
The hum of traffic drifts up from below, weaving through the gaps in the grating, and when you reach the rooftop, the wind tugs at your clothes, ruffling hair and jacket alike. Stretched beneath you is the entire glitter of New York ahead, a glowing chaos of gold veins and shadows.
You suck in a breath, clutching Yujiās jacket tighter around your shoulders.
ā...Itās beautiful,ā you whisper.
He doesnāt look at the shimmering skyline, but only at you. The spark in your eyes catching the glint of distant lights. Sitting down, he pats away the dust beside him, pulling you down to follow him. You plop yourself down, knees brushing.
āRight? When things are heavy, I like to sit and just watch the lights from above.ā
Giggling, you take the warm bowl from his hands, the heat spreading through your fingers and mingling with the steam curling like tiny ghosts between you. āI didnāt know you were also a rooftop climber.ā
He flinches slightly, but you donāt notice, lost as you are in the flickering tapestry of lights and the comforting weight of his jacket draped around your shoulders.
ā...Thanks,ā you murmur.
He tilts his head to your voice, and his smile blooms like a lantern in the cold fluorescent glow of the city. He notices the dark circles under your eyes, the slump of your shoulders while cooking, and the faint, heavy sighs. Time hangs between you, quiet.Ā
āIs it because of your mother?ā He doesnāt mean to pry. He simply waits, patient and quiet.
Years ago, when he was eleven and the weight of the world had abandoned him to debt and despair, it was you who had pulled him into the light.
You, who had brought him home, were pleading with your parents to let him stay, working alongside him through three jobs, shielding him from bullies, and carving out space for him in a world that had none.
And it wasn't because of pityāit was simply because it was right.
That small, steady truth had been more than enough for him to realise, walking home together one evening at fourteen, that life without you was unthinkable. Impossible.
But ever since that incident, Yuji spends his nights differently now, wondering if he even still has the right to be sitting next to you. Perhaps thatās why heās swinging across buildings now, a distraction to the ache he canāt name. The tugging knot of fear that writhes from his core.
āMm⦠same old,ā you murmur, eyes drifting to the golden veins of streets below, lids heavy.
āYou know Iām always here for you, right?āĀ
You shift your gaze toward him. His brows crease, jaw tight, lips parted, as if heās waiting for a question youāve buried too deep to speak. Yet your hands move betrayingly, fingers brushing against his, seeking him out over the coarse, cold brick beneath you.
He threads his fingers through yours with an ease so natural, it terrifies you. A knot coils low in your stomach, tightening with every heartbeat, your hand trembling beneath the gentle heat of his.
The wind tugs at your hair, lights flickering beyond the skyline like tiny stars. Amidst the faint hum of traffic and the electric scent of the city, each glow pulses, just like the racing of your heart.
You can feel it, the quiet certainty in his touch. You know he means it. You really do.
But even so, your lips betray you. They tremble against a single word, from the weight of too many nights spent replaying every thought, every fear.
ā...Thanks.ā A fragile whisper, soft as paper, heavy as stone.
Somewhere far below, a taxi honks. Somewhere far above, a neon sign blinks. But in between both, itās just the two of you. And even with all the uncertainty, the nights, and the unspoken truths that linger between breaths, you settle.
This litany of quiet is enough.
Itās eleven o'clock out, the sun is stupidly bright, and you want to die. Likeācrawl six feet under and stay burrowed in thereādie.Ā
āSee you tomorrow!ā the woman calls as you leave, a paper bag of tangerines digging into your fingers.
You flash her a beaming smile, hiding your soul-rotting exhaustion. The doorās jingle follows you onto the bustling sidewalk.
New York is already in full chaos mode. Yellow cabs are barking at each other, crowds are shoving downstream like human traffic jams, and tourists are wrestling with crumpled city maps like theyāre cursed.
When you glance up, you see the usual pigeons parading shop awnings, lined like entitled landlords. Scaffolding poles crisscross above you, towering between skyscrapers, and your earphones dangle uselessly around your neck.
No song is strong enough to fight the throbbing migraine pulsing behind your eyes, and itās probably because you were up until 5:00 a.m. helping Yuji.
The memory punches you in the brain.
āWhy the hell is it blank?ā youād blurtedābecause how else were you supposed to react to that monstrosity? You were both on the living room carpet, his laptop glowing tragically atop the coffee table.
Yuji jerked his head toward you, scandalised. āUm, no? Thereās the title slide, the body slide, and the bullet points. Itās got everything it needs.ā
You didnāt need a degree to see all the ways that was a crime, and maybe youāre just a saintāthatās what he thinksābut you were already storming into your room, grabbing your laptop.
āOkay, youāā you pointed at him, āwrite your script. Iām fixing your slides.ā
His eyes widened, watching as you flipped open your laptop, copied the link, and sent it over.
āWeāll revise the whole thing on four, andāā
Bla bla bla⦠your words were already blurring into the mindless static of Yujiās head. In that deserted hollowness of a brain, there was just awe.
The way your focus sharpened, the way your brows pinched, the way you sank into a task like the world around you melted away⦠it was the same look youād had four years prior.
When both of you still worked for some cramped, greasy kitchen in Queensāand then, heād been elbowādeep in suds, wrist aching, sweat sticking his bangs to his forehead.
Suddenly, you burst through the door.
āWhat theāā Yuji had jumped, nearly dropping a plate. But you didnāt even flinch at his shock. You were already rolling up your sleeves, sweeping half his stack of dirty dishes into your arms.
āNo wonder youāre coming home late every day,ā you muttered, scrubbing. āI asked the manager how many extra shifts you took. Care to explain?ā
Yuji immediately paused. Your eyes still stayed focused on your side of the sink, though. The plate in his hand, the steam, and the music drifting faintly from the restaurantās old radio all seemed to stop.
āWe need the money,ā he said gently, the corner of his mouth tugging up in a hopeful smile. He reached to take the plate from you, āCome onāhand it back. Itās my responsibility.ā
Your grip didnāt budge. You just glared at him from under your lashes. āWe promised not to keep secrets from each other,ā you murmured.
Silence fell. Only the muted hum of jazz seeped in from the dining area, trembling throughout the fragile string in the air.
Then you whispered, almost too quietly for him to hear. ā...It's not like I want to stay home either."
His stomach tightened.
You werenāt supposed to sayāeven, feel that kind of hurt. Hell, he didn't want you to think of uttering those words... At least when he was by your side.
He opened his mouth. Closed it. But after a few moments of still silence, he dug his fingers into his palms. His chest paused mid-rise. āWeāre moving out as soon as I get paid.ā
Your head snapped toward him. And there it wasāthat boyish grin. The same one heād given you at six years old on the playground, when he offered you half his juice box just after you scraped your knee.
āI checked our savings,ā he said softly. āWeāll have enough by this month.ā
Your lips parted. Your eyes widened. And when the realisation hit you, Yuji quickly stripped off his gloves and ruffled your hair with a warm, shaking laugh. āNew York, angel. New life.ā
Your throat tightened. Your heart stopped.
And before you knew it, your vision was blurring up like fog. His hair still spun rose-gold, soft and shimmering through the garbleāand somehow, even through the haze, he was still the brightest thing in the room.
He had prayed to every God he knew to do anything, to never see you cry again. That if sadness ever had to choose, it would pick him, and not you.
So when your tears finally spilt under the cheap fluorescent lights, he didnāt hesitate. He pulled you in, firm arms wrapping around you as you clung to the back of his hoodie, shoulders shaking.
You choked on your own soft sniffles, finally surrendering to the dam of emotions youād bottled all these years. All the while, he quietly kept his hold on you, whispering it again, breath warm against your ear.
New York. New life.
Flash forward four yearsāafter the spider bite, after the powers, after the secrets that clawed at his nightsāand some things never changed.
āAngelā¦ā he murmured, stunned all over again. Because sure, he saved cats, strangers and entire banks on his better days, but it came at the cost of everything else.
His friends all think heās unreliable, a dud, and weirdly bad at showing upācollege deadlines slipped, plans fell apart, and every time the hairs on his arms stood up, that electric buzz tingling in his bonesāhe had to go. He just had to.
He knew what happened when he ignored it, and even in the darkest of nights, he still hears the crackle of fire from the apartment next door.
But you stayed.
You always stayed.
He wanted to hug you.
To kiss you.
To press his forehead to yours and promise that heād protect you from everythingāeven himself.
But he swallowed it down, locked it away where it couldnāt slip out too easily.
And he just⦠smiled.
That boyish, earnest smile he never realises has the power to crumble all your walls.
Enough to also keep your whole world from collapsing. Enough to make you brave. Enough to make you trust him even when everything else in your life feels like itās slipping between your fingers.
For as long as you can remember, itās always felt like you and him against the world.
You know how he disappears every night, how heās never on time for anything, how he comes back scraped or breathless or exhaustedābut you never ask. You donāt pry. You donāt push.
Because Yuji is the one person youād bend your whole life around if it meant easing his burdens. You trust himāyou trust him in a way that terrifies you. Youāve known him long enough to understand the softness of his heart, the way he tries to carry everything alone, the way he refuses to let people worry for him.
And you know, deep down, that heād never hurt anyone.
Heād never hurt you.
So you keep your silence with that one line heās unknowingly drawn between you.Ā
Even when you feel his gaze lingering on you longer than it should.
Even when goosebumps rise along your arms in the soft, living warmth of the room.
Even when you ache to reach out, to cup his face, to ask him why it feels like something is always slipping away.
Neither of you speaks. Neither of you steps forward.
Your fingers twitch at your sides, all while his clench slightly at his thighs.
Even when this fragile string youāre threading so carefully on is the very thing hurting you both.
Youāre slipping through the afternoon crowd like a loose page torn from a book, shoving past another tourist whose camera strap is swinging wildly. The air today smells faintly of burnt bagels, exhaust, and wet asphalt from last nightās rain, the earthās sigh as it drinks the skyās frigid tears. Metal trash cans clatter in the wind, lids rattling against their rims, and somewhere above, the faint screech of the subway reverberates from the tracks below.
Footsteps echo around you, tyres hiss against the wet asphalt, yet even in this city that never sleeps, your thoughts drift as you shuffle through the bustle.
I wonder how Yujiās presentation went?
Hopefully well. Otherwise, youāll have to suffer through the hell of Megumiās complaints for at least another month. God, anything but that.
You yawn, squinting as your vision blurs slightly against the harsh reflection of the rising sun on glass skyscrapers. The traffic light clicks, the pedestriansā signal flipping to red, but suddenly, your eyes catch something else entirely.
Something small, trembling, utterly out of place in the chaos. A golden-furred bundle curled in the middle of the crossing.Ā
A puppy.
Your heart stutters.
Everyone sees it, yet no one moves. Cars keep rolling, and the pup curls in on itself, shaking so violently you can feel it even from the curb.
What the hell?
Your mind scatters in ten directions at once, tripping over every worst-case scenario. Logic screams, ādonāt run into trafficā, so you're forced to stand thereāfoot tapping, throat tight, breath trappedāwaiting. As soon as the pedestrian light turns green, your legs run before you can even think.
You sprint.
Your sneakers slap against the asphalt, the city blurring around you in a rush of horns and exhaust. With a quick drop of a crouch, breath heaving, you slowly stick out a hand for it to sniff, but it shrinks back, paws skittering against the cold pavement.Ā
Itās terrified. Of everything. The honks, the stomps, the chatterāNew Yorkās roar is swallowing the tiny thing whole.
The pedestrian countdown crackles overhead, each tick like a punch to your ribs, and your heartbeat syncs with itāfrantic, stuttering, racing.
āItās okay, itās okayā¦ā you whisper.
But itās not. Not even close.
You glance up.
Ten seconds left.
Fuck it.
You drop the paper bag. Tangerines scatter across the crosswalk, bumping under shoes, rolling into gutters as you sweep the trembling puppy into your arms. Its ribs flutter against your palms frantically. You whisper whatever calming nonsense you can manageā
HOOOONK.
The blare is so loud it splits your thoughts in half.
Before you even fully straighten, the world explodes into white behind your eyes. You snap your head toward the sound.
A truck is barreling toward you.
Too close.
Too fast.
Your entire body locks. Thereās no time to run, no time to scream. The world narrows to the shadow swallowing youā
An arm suddenly clamps around your waist.
The ground vanishes, wind knifes past your ears. In the blink of an eye, youāre off the asphalt and slammed into the blur of motion.Ā
The city snaps back into focus just as your feet touch down on solid pavement, and right behind you, āWhoa thereācareful!ā
You freeze, heart slamming into your ribs. You know that voice. Youād know it in a thunderstorm, a blackout, a dream.
āYuāā But when you whirl around, ready to scream at him, you freeze. The person holding you isnāt Yuji.
Itās Spider-Man.
The spandex, the mask, and the red and blue in all its stupid gloryāstanding right in front of you, fingers still trembling slightly where they had been gripping your waist. He slowly lets go of it, watching as you spin to face him, face shaken.Ā
As more and more people start to crowd the two of you, theyāre lifting phones, shouting.
Itās his voice. You know it.
But thereās also absolutely no way that Yuji Itadoriāyour perpetually late, starving, ghost of a roommateāis the same Spider-Man plastered all over the Daily Bugle every day, busy saving lives.
You swallow hard. āā¦Thank you.ā
He glances down, raising his knuckle for the shaking pupāand after a few sniffs, he boops its nose, its tail giving a tiny, shy wag.Ā
āWhat a cutie,ā he says softly. āIs this yours?ā
He knows the answer. He shouldnāt even be talking this much. But when you look up at himāstunned, scared, and shockedāhe stays.
You pause for a moment, brain short-circuiting before shaking your head. He gestures gently. āI can take him to a local shelter, if you want.ā
What?
Your arms instinctively tighten around the pup, but after a few beats, the tension in your shoulders eases. With a hesitant nod, you slowly pass it overāand to your surprise, he holds the little thing way too gently, cradling it close to his chest.
Then, he asks, āDo you want to come with us?ā
Your head instantly perks up to him.Ā
He wants you⦠to come with him.
You feel your own heart thudding against your ribs, the cluster of crowds sending your brain into cartwheels now. Your fists are still against his chest, clenched. Finally, after a few seconds, you nod once.
ā...Please?ā you add, voice barely above a whisper.
Something in him melts.
āAlright,ā he murmurs, hooking an arm around your waist with the pup. āNo tall skyscrapers this time, though. Gotta make sure I donāt scare the pup.ā
Before you can even process what heās saying, a white web shoots out from his wristā
And youāre fucking airborne.
āAAAAAAAAAā!!ā Youāre screaming as the wind whips across your face, the ground blurring beneath your feet.
One awning leads to another, gilding just above the trafficāand somehow, that makes it even more terrifying; you can see the cars, the flashing lights, the stunned pedestrians filming you as you pass.
You cling to him like your life depends on it, (because really, it does) your yell trembling amidst the racing wind as your arms stay wrapped tight around his neck. Meanwhile, this idiot is laughing. Laughing. And even the puppy is having fun, tail wagging like a metronome of betrayal.
You swear you can even see his tail wagging as well, burrowing your face even deeper into his neck as you shut your eyes.
āWHAT THE HELL?!ā you shout, voice cracking. The idiot of a vigilante only laughs harder, grip still strong on your waist.
He doesnāt know how his heart nearly stopped when he saw you kneeling in front of the barreling truck. He doesnāt know how close he came to losing his mind. And he doesnāt know how many Gods heād prayed for the shortest split second.
āPut me down, put me down, put me down!ā Youāre sobbing into his neck, eyes glued shut as the wind smacks the hair into your face.Ā
Finally, the world slows to a stop. He lands softly on the asphalt, and everything stillsāall but your trembling breaths. Shallow, shaky, and way too embarrassingly loud in your own ears.
He leans in, voice low enough that only you can hear it through the muffled city noise.
āWeāre here,ā he whispers.
You refuse to move. Absolutely not.
Your face stays buried in the crook of his neck, arms locked tight, fingers curled stubbornly. He chuckles softly.
Cute.
The pup wiggles out from between you two, popping its head out. It yaps once, twice, and you slowly crack open one eye, hands weakly releasing their grip on his suit. A shaky breath leaves your lips as you finally peel yourself off him, stumbling backāonly for him to catch you again by the elbow.
āAnd we havenāt even reached forty feet yet,ā he teases, head tilted.
You glare weakly, voice hoarse. āI am never doing that again.ā
He doesnāt even need to say anything; you can feel the smug grin through the mask.Ā
With a soft spin on his heel, he steps past you toward a storefront wedged between two towering brick buildings. The sign above it is faded, chipped around the edges, and the doorās chime jingles as he slips inside with the puppy nestled in one arm.
You stand there in the midst of the pavement, though, heart still thundering, sneakers planted on solid ground, and even if youāve touched the ground for at least a few minutes now, it feels like youāre still up there mid-swing.
The city moves like normal around you. Horns, footsteps, conversationsāit all feels muted, stuffed cotton in your ears. Youāre floating.
Absolutely floating.
A few moments later, the chime rings again. He steps out⦠with the same puppy still in his arms. You blink as he gives a tiny shrug.
āSooo⦠turns out theyāre totally out of vacant spots right now," he glances at the pup, the critter innocently tilting its head. āI can swing to another one, maybeāā
āIāll take him.ā The words leave your mouth before you even think them through, cutting through the fragile string of silence.
He looks at you, stunned. Youāre taking it in?
Before he can say anything, you crouch immediately, scratching the puppy under the chin as it whines into your palm, tail flailing like a fuzzy little helicopter.
Sure, why not? Maybe Yuji will finally start showing up more often. Maybe heāll actually help take care of it. Maybeā
āUhāyou sure?ā
All the while, Yuji, as mentioned above, is panicking to death in his head. Heās not even there for half the night, how the hell is he gonna take care of it? But thereās you, of course, so it canāt be that bad, right?
āMhm,ā you nod, scooping the warm ball of golden fluff against your chest. āLook, it loves me already!ā
You giggle as it barks happily, tiny paws scrambling at your collar as it leans up to lick your jaw. Warm little breaths puff against your skin, sunlight breaking through the thinning clouds overhead, catching on its fur and turning it into a tiny halo of honey-goldāsoft enough to melt winter, blithe enough to quiet the city.Ā
He goes still.Ā
Of course, it loves you.
The breeze rolls by, threading through the loose strands of your hair, and he watches the sunlight kiss them the same way it kisses the dogās fur, as if the two of you were made of the same warmth.
He doesnāt say anything. Doesnāt need to. The tilt of his head, the stillness of his hands, the way he forgets about the crowd, the noise, the cityāall of it betrays him.
Youāre shining underneath the bleeding sun, laughing even with the trembling puppy in your arms, and for one still second, the weight of what almost happened hits him harder than any fall heās taken tonight.
Harder than any punch, any rooftop landing, any sprint through the freezing wind.
And he knows it. He knows exactly what that ache is.
āWhere do you live?ā he asks, voice lower than before, too casual even to be casual.
Your gaze snaps to him. And the second you see the curve of his masked grināsmug, obvious, and entirely too proud of himselfāyour stomach sinks.
āSoā¦ā he drawls, head tilting. āRound two?ā
You groan, clutching the dog a little tighter like it might suddenly save you. āGod, save me.ā
āRoger that, Maāam.ā
You smack his arm. He laughs.Ā
And the sun, traitorous as ever, lights you up like something worth falling for.
The metal railing trembles as he steps onto your balcony, but unlike it, you donāt steadyānot even after your sneakers touch the concrete. Your knees are still jelly, your stomach is still somewhere midair, and youāre pretty sure youāll never get used to this.
Frankly, youāre praying you wonāt ever have to.
Behind you, the sun melts into winterās edge, streaking the clouds with bleeding crimson.
āWelcome home!ā
āThank you,ā you breathe.
The golden pup squirms in your arms, and the moment you crack open the balcony door, it launches inside. You canāt help but laugh as it bounds across the living room, sniffing corners, trotting in frantic circles, all while its tail wags with a delirious joy only pure innocence can have.Ā
Youāre tiredāhe can see it. The slope of your shoulders, the soft drag of your steps, the yawns you pretend are subtle. Even your laughter sounds like itās holding up the walls of a crumbling day.
He leans against the railing behind you, watching with a chuckle, and he knows he shouldnāt linger, shouldnāt risk even this much, but itās you. And tonight, for reasons he canāt name out loud, he wants to show you something special.
āHey,ā he calls softly, āever wondered what itās like sixty feet up?ā
You turn. He stands there with his arms crossed, head tilted, grin smug enough to see even beneath the mask.
āYouāre kidding.ā
He shrugs. āYou look like you need a pickāmeāup. And I think I know just the thing.ā
Before you can argue, his hands are slipped around your waist already, like heās done this a million times before. And somehow, like your body recognises him from somewhere you canāt name, you donāt pull away. You only lift a brow, smirking. āLiterally?ā
He huffs a boyish laugh and reaches past you to slide the balcony door shut. His gaze flickers to the puppy already curled on a cushion, drifting into a soft nap after its chaotic afternoon.
āThe vet said heās trained and vaccinated. Soā¦ā His voice dips, playful. āIt wouldnāt hurt if I steal you for a few minutes, right?ā
You pretend to think about it. āMaybe.ā
Maybe.
Damn, if he didnāt have his stupid mask on, youād see the way his whole face breaks into the most hopeless grin ever. God really does send his hardest missions to his strongest soldiers.
āHang on tight.ā
He doesnāt need to tell you twice. Your arms loop around his neck, and just as quickly as you can breathe, youāre suddenly up in the airāyou still canāt help but scream at the sudden jump in height.
A strangled cry rips out of your throat as the city drops away beneath your feet. Heās still laughing at the ridiculousness of your reaction, and for once in both your lives, youāre screaming with the sort of freedom that only comes with the wish of a shooting star.
You definitely feel like one, too.Ā
Skyscrapers streak past, wind clawing at your clothes. Your face is buried in his shoulderābecause looking down might as well kill youābut even through your terror, a traitorous warmth swells in your chest.
He hears every sound you make, every breathless scream, and heās stupidly amused. Even when your eyes are screwed shut from how fucking terrifying this is.
Finally, he lands on what sounds like concrete with a soft thud, steadying you before your knees can give out. Your fingers are still clutched to his suit, but he pries them off gently, turning you around.Ā
You crack open one eye.
Then both.
And instantly, your breath catches.
The horizon is on fire.
The wild, bright yellow flame burns in the centre of the molten gold, every skyscraper splinting it in fractured sheets of amber and rose. And as it dips right across the water, your heart skips a beat, the sky bleeding with streaks of orange and bruised violet. Light scatters from the heavens, a gorgeous shower that shimmers just across the horizonās seaāa ramp of falling stars just for the two of you.Ā
āā¦Itās beautiful,ā you whisper.
The same words you told him the first time he brought you to the rooftop. He remembers. God, he remembers everything. He turns his head.
The horizon is burning in the distance, but he doesnāt glance up. His gaze lingers on you, tracing the way the light brushes your hair, the tilt of your jaw, the slow inhale of your aweāand in that moment, the city, the sunset, the wind, nothing else exists.
You outshine every single drop of light in the bleeding sky, and he hates that he canāt even tell you.
Something in your chest loosens, then gives. For one strange, impossible moment, the pressure of everythingāyour deadlines, your rent, your exhaustion, the heaviness of simply existingāfeels lighter.
You turn to him, smiling. āThank you.ā
The sun flares behind you, painting you in gold, and he thinks helplessly that even this sunset pales beside you.
His heart punches against his ribs, hammering hard enough to bruise.
He keeps his hands in fists so you wonāt see them shake, nails digging into his palms, trying to anchor himself.
Because if he doesnāt, heāll do something reckless.
ā¦Like pull his mask up and kiss you under a dying sun.
He jabs a gloved knuckle against the glass of Nobaraās bedroom windowāonce, twice, thriceāfast. Even muffled behind the mask, Nobara can recognise it anywhere. Especially when itās coming from her window on the tenth fucking floor.
āKnock, knock! House of fabulous engineers and fashion icons! Hellooooo?ā
A muffled groan leaks from the glass.
The window slides open with a wet creak, and Nobara leans outāhair damp from a shower, hoodie half-zipped, face frowning. Sheās literally one inconvenience away from shutting it on his fingers.
āWhat,ā she deadpans, āthe hell do you want?ā
Yuji straightens proudly, chest puffing out. āGuess who just saved someone from a truck, carried them to a view thatād make Van Gogh rise from the grave, and completely turned their day around! And they donāt even know it was me!ā
His words are tumbling over like runaway marbles, tripping out of his mouth in the sudden rush of excitement. Each breath fogs the inside of his mask, tiny clouds drifting up as he gestures wildly, eyes sparkling even behind the webbed veil.
From behind her, Megumiās voice drifts, monotonous as ever. āYou look like a five-year-old who drank too much espresso.ā
Yuji spins halfway, giving him a thumbs-up. āAnd you built the tech that made that possible! So technically, I am a caffeinated genius who saves people, soooooāyouāre the genius behind the genius!ā
āObviously itās about her,ā Nobara says, arms crossed, one brow arched. āWhy else knock on my window like some homicidal pigeon?ā
Yuji grins boyishly beneath the mask, tilting his head. āBecause someone had to tell the people who made me this awesome that I did something awesome!ā
He hops back onto the slick rooftop, landing with barely a splash. Rain glazes over the red and blue of his suit, gloves leaving faint smudges of rain, but he doesnāt care. He crouchesāknees loose, fingers tapping, eyes flicking between Nobara and Megumiāand he rambles.
āYouād be so proud. I got her out of dangerālike, barely-saw-my-life-flash-before-my-eyes dangerāand she held onto me and we just⦠we ended up on this roof where the whole skyline looked like it was melting gold. And she laughed! And Iāā
His hand stills over his heart.
Nobara squints at him, expression softening for half a second before she ruins it deliberately. āYouāre ridiculous. Just confess already.ā
Yuji crouches lower, fists on his knees, eyes practically sparkling. The rain slides off his mask in thin streams, glossing over like small scattered stars. All the while, the skyline stretches behind him, windows blinking like constellations.
Heās glowing too, like he canāt hold all his giddiness inside.Ā
Behind her, Megumi doesnāt move, but thereās a faint, reluctant curve tugging at the corner of his mouth. Theyāve both seen this a million times.
Yuji, hopelessly in love. Yuji, trying not to be obvious. Yuji, failing.
But then, he thinks of you, back in your apartment, probably waiting for him with that puppy curled on your lapāprobably wondering why heās coming back late again.
His heart kicks.
Without warning, he shoots a web to the edge of the rooftop. āOkayāgotta goāBYE!ā
Before Nobara can yell, he launches himself into the storm-soaked night, flipping once, twice, and vanishing into the wind.
āYOUāLL HEAR ABOUT THIS TOMORROW, I SWEAR!ā he hollers back, voice bouncing between the buildings.
Nobara sighs dramatically and shuts the window, all the while Megumiās smirk survives exactly three seconds before he wipes it off.
As he disappears into the glittering darkness, the city continues to shine. But itās obvious who heās rushing home for, and somewhere below, the night hums with the secret only three people know:
Spider-Man Yuji Itadori is swinging through New York like a boy in love.
When Yuji comes back, heās yelping in surprise when the little rascal of a pup rushes over to him. Its paws are already scattered across the wooden floor for a launched attack. āWhat theā?!āĀ
He picks up the pup in his arms, snuggling into it as you appear from the corner of the hallway, snickering at the scene. āKiniro likes you already.ā
It takes everything in him to bite back his laughter and act surprised. After all, he canāt quite literally tell you he was the one saving you both just earlier today, right?
āI didnāt know you brought back this little pup,ā he giggles, letting it lick his face. āYou even named him?ā
You sigh, plopping yourself onto the carpet. āHe was in the middle of a pedestrian street. Thankfully, Spider-Man saved him.ā
You pat your lap, Kiniro eagerly running straight back to you, āThe animal shelter was full, though, but I think weāre stable enough to afford just another pet, donāt you think?āĀ
Yujiās already walking over to you, slinging his bag across the couch as he ruffles your hair. āI can just pick up another job if you really want to.ā
He doesnāt miss that you donāt include yourself in being saved, but he doesnāt nag. All that matters is youāre safe and sound, and with the arrival of little Kiniro, your grin seems just a tiny bit wider.Ā
āUgh, youāre not even home half the time,ā you groan, tugging him down to sit next to you. āDonāt.ā
He smirks at your comment, simply shrugging. āYou would not believe my day, though,ā he starts, running a hand through his hair.
āCoach made us do sprints at 8 a.m. Eight. A. M. The sun was barely awake. I was barely awake,ā he plops himself down beside you. āThen I had to do that boring presentation for Anthropology.ā
You snort. āWhat about it? Did you actually, I donāt knowānot screw it up?ā
āOhhh, the presentation? Killed it. Destroyed it. Megumi totally knew you helped, too.ā
You shake your head, smiling as he continues. With a soft sigh, you raise both hands behind you as you stretch out your sore arms. āThank God. We still need to go grocery shopping, though⦠We donāt have food for either him or us.ā
āDo you want me to go?āĀ
Youāre already getting up, though. āNah, letās go together, like usual.ā
He smiles. Yeah. Like usual.
So flash forward now, one hour laterā
Heās tossing all sorts of odd combinations into your trolley, and when heās the one pushing it, that means youāre going to be barely stopping him from picking yet another pack of chips in the aisle beside.
Because, seriously, what kind of trolley has fruits, meat, chips and dog food all at once? Any other college student, he says. Well, you donāt complain further, because youāre already busy thinking about what to cook for dinner.
Metal shelves press together like metro train commuters, all the while humming coolers whisper across aislesāstacked with the classic 99Ā¢ ramen, chips, and plastic-wrapped bagels. The overhead fluorescent lights buzz faintly amidst the static hiss of the radioās pop song, always a little too bright, and it cuts through the shuffle of tired locals grabbing dinner after work.
Both of you pass each aisle, and when he reaches up just one more time, he says, for the latest bag of chips, you slap his hands away. He gives you a pout, but you shoot it back down, eyes still peeled ahead, while the trolley miserably follows behind now.
āSo whatās on the menu, Chef?ā Yuji asks, arms on the handle.Ā
āJapanese curry,ā you hum back, already tossing the small sticks of chives into the trolley behind.
His eyes glisten at the thought of it, his mouth watering already. āYou always make the best dinners.ā
With a mere huff and the slightest curl of your lips, you refuse to turn back to face him. You can already feel the piercing stare of awe on your back, but it does little to keep the budding brim of pride at bay.
Because honestly speaking, thatās all you need.
When the tiny 2010s New York apartment smells like onions sizzling in butterāwarm, sweet, it seeps both into the walls and your mind that youāre actually home.
The window above the stove rattles a little every time a subway roars somewhere underground, but inside, itās just the two of you, moving around the cramped kitchen like you both have a hundred times.
āYouāre cutting them too big,ā you tease, nudging his elbow as he chops another carrot chunk.
āTheyāll shrink in the pot!ā he fires back, puffing his cheeks. āPlus, big pieces are funner to chew.ā
āThatās not how carrots work.ā
āSure it is.ā
You break into laughter, and he falters into the same grin behind his ever-so-bravado.Ā
Before you can turn back to the stove, his hands slip around your waist from behind, pulling you just close enough that your back warms against his chest. Itās second nature to him by nowābut somehow, this time, his touch reminds you of someone else just earlier this afternoon.
āHeyāhey,ā you giggle, trying to stir the pot while he sways you side to side, āIām gonna spill the roux.ā
āThatās the plan,ā he murmurs, chin gently resting on your shoulder as he watches the stew bubble.Ā
āTeamwork, right? Iām moral support.ā
āMoral support doesnāt usually involve hugging me every five seconds.ā
He gives a soft, guilty hum. āHmm. Guess Iām extra supportive.ā
Outside the window, the streetlights of early-night Manhattan cast a warm orange glow across the counter, mixing with the flicker of your old fluorescent kitchen light, and somewhere below, a taxi honks, someone yells. Your radioās playing the classic pop songs on repeat rotation this week, and inside, tucked within the mellow warmth, thereās just the soft simmer of curry and the occasional clatter of utensils. Yuji leans forward to peek into the pot, arms tightening around you as if he canāt help it.
āThat smells so good,ā he says, voice a little softer now.
You feel your cheeks warm more than the stove ever could, but you still shove him with your hip anyway. āThen set the table, you sap.ā
He laughs boyishly before finally letting go. Grabbing bowls, heās humming off-key to the radio, and when you glance back at him, his sleeves are already rolled up. He plates the curry bubbling behind you, and the two of you settle snuggishly into the couch, blanket tossed over both of your legs.
As usual, Yuji sits close, stretching his arm along the backrest so that he can tug you closer whenever he feels like it. Heās already rambling off into the darkness, and long before you know it, youāre both talking over the show more than actually watching it.
āBut, uh⦠lunch was good,ā he adds quietly. āAte outside. The weather felt nice. I kinda wished you were there, though.ā He doesnāt look at you when he says it; Yuji seldom does things like this. He just rubs the back of his neck, cheeks burning pink.
āYāknow⦠campus stuff is better when youāre around,ā he murmurs. āFeels less like Iām just running around all day and more likeā¦ā He pauses, searching for the word. āā¦Iām just living day-to-day.ā
You snort. āYouāre such a dork.ā
āA dork who had a rough day,ā he huffs, nudging your knee with his.Ā
You card your fingers through his soft pink hair despite yourself, and he melts instantly, like heās been waiting all day for this. At some point, the warmth of the curry settles into your stomach, the weight of his arm drapes heavier against your shoulders, and your eyelids grow heavier with each second.
His heartbeat is steady, right under your ear, and beneath the warmth, you donāt even notice when your bowls slide onto the coffee table. You just fall asleep tucked into his side, wrapped in his hoodie and the low hum of the city outside the window.
He simply watches, and somewhere, underneath the warmth of the quiet, his hand stops just a beat from tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
You donāt know how long youāve slept, but when the sudden, distant siren of an ambulance cuts through the silence, you wake. The apartmentās dark except for the TVās dim blue, and your headās still snuggled against the couch cushion, but Yuji isnāt there.
His spot is still warm, yet the empty bowls are already in the sink.
āYuji?ā you whisper, sitting up as the floor creaks softly beneath your bare feet. Silence echoes, and only the faint late-night wail follows through the room, the ticking of your clock.
It's dead midnight.
Outside your window, a breeze seeps softly from the fire escape. The curtains shift, and you turn to read the single sticky note pasted on the coffee table, scribbled in his ever-so messy handwriting:
āSorry. Something came up. Didnāt wanna wake you.
Be back soon :)ā
You run your thumb over the smiley face, feeling the echo of warmth where heād been.
You donāt know why he disappears every night.
But for now, all you know is the apartment still smells like curry and himāand the couch feels just a little too big without his arms around your waist.
Dawn breaks as gold washes over the pavement, daylight spilling into the still-waking streets. Youāre shuffling along beside Yuji, shoulders brushing now and then. In both your hands are cups of cocoa from the corner cart, each crowned with a swirl of whipped cream he swears is just āthe best in the city.ā
Steam lifts from the paper cup, curling into the damp morning air, all the while streets still glisten from last nightās rain, passing headlights shimmering in fractured streaks. Inhaling, the air smells of salt and roasted peanuts, tinged with the sweet bite of chestnuts toasting somewhere behind you.
āYouāre going to burn your tongue if you sip that too fast,ā you tease, nudging him lightly with your elbow.
He sticks his tongue out at you, laughing even harder when you snort back at him. You simply shake your head as he bumps your shoulder, grinning.
The crowd hums around you, a river of people rushing with purpose, but you walk slower than usual, matching his pace. His hair catches the sunlight in golden highlights, and as he turns to glance over at you, the corners of his mouth tilt when he notices you staring.
āAnd youāre gonna spill your drink if you keep staring,ā he laughs, holding out his hand.Ā
You giggle, letting him grab your wrist gently, tugging you just slightly forward as you step over a puddle. His warmth lingers a second too long, and as the sun rises a little higher, he watches you sip from your cupāeyes soft and warm.
Kiniroās barking as well, his leash wrapped just around Yujiās knuckles. The boy gives it a little tug, but for a split second, his shoulders tense. Heās distracted for a moment, silent.Ā
Thereās a siren somewhere uptown. A horn blast. Something sharp flickers across his expression before he smooths it away.
You pretend not to notice. Instead, you just nudge your shoulder into his again. āYou okay?ā
He grins. āYeah. Yeah, Iām good.ā
But his fingers tighten just slightly around your wrist.
You tilt your cocoa toward him. āTrade?ā
He huffs a relieved laugh. āFine, but only because I know mine has more whipped cream.ā
You swap cups, and his shoulders loosen, the tension in his jaw melting away. Somehow, the warmth of the moment softens the city around youāright up until your phone buzzes. You glance down, frowning.
āDid you eat yet?ā
āAre you really out with him again?ā
Your chest tightens. No matter how far youāve moved, her messages still slice like winter wind. Instead, you shove the phone deeper into your pocket, just as Yuji starts rambling about some comic he swears he didnāt dream up.Ā
āEverything okay?ā Itās his turn this time, unaware of the text buzzing under your coat.
You nod in response, though, forcing a smile. āYeah⦠just distracted.ā
He doesnāt probe, and you just follow him down a narrow side street, fire escapes shadowing over cracked sidewalks. The city hums with distant trains, honking taxis, and the usual rumble of early traffic. He twirls you once in the crosswalk, and for a brief moment, your worries fade. Laughter bubbles up easily, sunlight spilling through breaks in the buildings.
Everything is gold.
You donāt even pass five blocks before you hear the sudden strum of a guitar, faint from a musician tucked just beside a subway entrance, tin cup right at his feet.Ā
Yujiās eyes sparkle instantly like a kid spotting magic.
āDance battle?ā he asks, grin stretching mischievously.
You nearly choke on your cocoa. āExcuse me?ā
āYou heard me.ā Heās already bending his knees, taking a fighting stance. āYou. Me. Right here. Winner gets bragging rights for life.ā
You groan, trying to pull him away, but the way he bounces on the balls of his feet, the laughter in his voice, makes it impossible to resist.
And before you know it, both your cups are set on the window ledge just beside, and heās twirling you gently in the middle of the sidewalk, weaving through the small cluster of pedestrians staring in a mix of confusion and amusement.
āYuji! Stop, Iāllāā you squeal, laughing so hard your stomach hurts.
He only snorts harder, spinning you until your hair whips across your face and you bury your head against his shoulder. āYouāve got moves,ā he teases, voice softening. āBetter than I thought.ā
When the music shifts to a slower melody, he doesnāt let go. His grip on your waist pulls you closer, his forehead resting lightly against yours, eyes half-closed. The rest of the city fades, and in the midst of it, thereās only the pulse of your laughter, the warmth, and the soft brush of his breath against your cheek.
For a second, it feels like the world stopped just to let him hold you. Everything melts away, and time stills.
Then⦠he freezes. The sparkle in his eyes dims.
āIāI gottaāā he starts, pulling back slightly, fingers brushing yours.
You frown, confused. This isnāt the first time heās bailing midway, and suddenly, the warmthās twisting with the usual tension.
āWhat?ā Your voice cracks. āWhere are you going?ā
He bites his lip, hesitating. āSomething came up⦠Iāll be back as soon as I can. Promise.ā
Before you can argue, heās already turning, weaving through the crowd and quickly disappearing like heās done so a hundred times. You watch, heart sinking, as the tide of bodies swallows him.
Your phone buzzes thenāagaināin your pocket.
Your stomach knots, all the while the sweetness of the morning is turning brittle at the edges.Ā
You frown at the screen, fingers trembling slightly⦠another message.Ā
This time, you take a deep breath, lukewarm cocoa in your hand, and look back down the street where Yuji vanished.
For a heartbeat, the world was quiet.
Almost enough to drown out the buzzing phone. The crawling ache.
Almost.
The campus is loud as usual, and your bag is slung lazily over your shoulder. Itās field day, and Nobaraās perched by your side like a hawk.
Field day always turns the campus into a festive frenzyāmusic blasting, banners everywhere, and the smell of grass and sunscreen wafting with the crispy fry of food from student stalls. The sunās golden light is just enough to dust everything with a warm edge, shedding the tiniest bit of warmth amidst the early winter, but your chest still feels tight, and every cheer from the bleachers is merely another headache pulsing beneath the last.
Your fingers curl around your bag strap.Ā
āYou better scream your lungs out for him,ā she says, flipping her hair as the two of you shuffle through clusters of crazed students. āHe made me promise Iād drag you here even if you tried to run.ā
You roll your eyes with a huff of disbelief, but still, your chest warms at the mention of him. In the midst of it, Nobara pauses.
āHey, you okay, though?ā she asks, nudging your side. āYouāre quieter than usual.ā
āIām fine,ā you say, forcing the words past the tightness in your throat.Ā
The football field is already swarmed by the time you reach it. Voices rise and fall like crashing waves, bleachers trembling under stampeding students trying to get good seats. You spot Megumi standing near the edge in all his emo glory, stretching like heās prepping for a battlefield instead of just another friendly match.
He sighs when he spots you and Nobara, but you donāt miss how the corner of his mouth twitches just a bit upward.
āTold you sheād come,ā Nobara smirks.
He mutters something along the lines of āYeah, yeah, whatever,ā but his eyes flick briefly toward the locker tunnelāwhere Yuji should beā¦
And right on cue, the man himself bursts out.
Yuji comes sprinting with his helmet in hand, hair ruffled, grin stretched wide enough to split galaxies. His jersey clings to his shoulders, the number glowing against the sunlight. Heās sprinting across the grass like his body was built for thisāshining, bright, unstoppable. His hair catches the morning light like rose-gold flames, the soft pink of it glowing warm against his skin.
But heās late again, and not just a littleāten minutes behind schedule. Yet no one seems to mind except you.
Your chest twists. The familiar pang rises again.Ā
The moment he notices you, he practically trips over his own feet from how fast his attention snaps your way.
āThere you are!ā he calls, waving the helmet wildly above his head.
Nobara snorts. āLord, heās so lovesick it physically hurts.ā
You pretend not to hear her.
Yuji jogs up to the fence separating players from spectators, leaning against it with both forearms as if he canāt stop himself from getting closer. His breath comes out quickly from the run, but his grin is wide and bright.
āYou made it,ā he says too eagerly.
āWe always make it,ā you scoff, nudging your bag up your shoulder. āDonāt disappoint us.ā
āYesāyes, Maāam,ā he salutes, cheeks pink. āIām gonna win extra hard now.ā
Behind him, the team captain shouts his name. Megumi barks at him, āIf you miss the huddle again, Iām making you run laps.ā
Yuji jumps, jolting upright. āComing!ā
But before he turns, he reaches outāfingers brushing yours through the fence. Just a fleeting drag of warmth, but enough to leave your pulse scrambling.
āIāll look for you after every play,ā he says sheepishly. āSo⦠donāt leave, okay?ā
Nobara rolls her eyes so dramatically that she might strain something. āHeās going to combust.ā
Youāre definitely not telling her you just might too.
But even then, Yuji still runs back to his team, helmet tucked under his arm, shouting something stupidly upbeat that gets the whole bench laughing. The field hums with energy, sunlight bouncing off jerseys, the grass almost glittering.
Finally, the game commences.
And Yujiāitās like he was born for this.
Heās fast. Focused. And ridiculously competent.
Every time he steals the ball, the crowd roars. Every time he dodges someone twice his size, Nobara shrieks. And when he scoresāan impossible curve just inside the goalpostāhe swings both arms up, searching the stands until he locks eyes with you.
He beams like you just handed him the universe.
And the whole world feels goldenāsunlight, victory, thrill. Megumi is yelling instructions, Nobaraās screaming insults at the opponents, and Yujiās just there in all of his radiant gloryāshining without even trying.
Itās warm. Itās bright. Itās alive.
Youāre cheering too, but your smile still falters, tight around the edges. Your fingers tighten around the edge of your bag strap.
But for now⦠Yuji wins.
And he looks at you like youāre the reason he did. Truly, he does. He barely hears the final whistle over the roar of the crowd. One second, heās sprinting across the field, cleats kicking up dust, teammates shouting his nameā
And the next, heās tearing off his helmet and running straight for you.
You barely get a sound out before he crashes into you, arms around your waist, lifting you clean off the ground in a dizzying spin. His laugh bursts warm against your neck, almost boyish in how free it is.
āYou saw that, right? You saw that, right?ā he breathes, grin blinding, forehead pressed to yours as if he needs proofāneeds youāto make it real.
Nobaraās whooping behind you. Megumiās pretending not to stare, and heās shoving his hands in his pockets like he didnāt just sabotage two passes solely so Yuji could score. The field is a riot of noiseāwhistles, cheers, the brass band warming up againābut all of it blurs around him.
Yujiās still holding you there, thumbs brushing your ribs. The pink of his hair, the warm brown of his eyes, the soft grin that always pulls at the corner of his mouth. His hair brushes your forehead when he leans in.
A voice cuts through the crowd. āCongratulations, you all! What a play!ā
Itās a senior guy from another teamāsomeone charming, loud, the type Yuji knows people tend to gravitate to. He jogs past, tossing you a quick smile like itās nothing.
āYou were cheering SO loud,ā he tells you, laughing. āHonestly, I think you were louder than the team.ā
Yujiās smile twitches.
The guy just continues, leaning in a bit too close, āYou coming to the afterparty? Nobara said you mightāā
Yuji steps in without thinking, placing a hand on your back.
āOh,ā the guy says, blinking. āHey, Itadori. Great game, man.ā
āThanks,ā Yuji answersābut something in his eyes dims.
Nobara simply smirks with a cross of her arms.
His eyes flick back to you. Quick. Searching.
Did you smile back? Did you think the guy was cool? Did youā
Suddenly, the team crowds around himāslapping his back, grabbing his shoulders, shouting over each other, and youāre both separated from the wave of intrusion.
āYouāre coming with us tonight, right?ā
āYo, weāre buying you dinner!ā
āWeāre gonna replay that touchdown like a hundred timesāā
Yujiās flustered, overwhelmed. His chest is heaving, and sweat trickles down his forehead. He doesnāt like the sudden attention, and he keeps looking back at you over their headsāchecking, making sure you havenāt drifted away in the crowd, but he loses you just as quickly as they came.
Megumi sighs, nudging him. āGo,ā he mutters. āWeāll catch up.ā
And thatās all he needs.
He practically breaks out of the huddle just to run over to youāsoft murmurs of apologies as he bumps into someone elseās shoulder.Ā
Everything else is noise to him, and it isnāt long until he catches the familiar sight of the back of your head again.
He settles beside you, still breathless. His fingers hover, then hook lightly around your wrist, tugging you closer.
āYouāre walking with me, right?ā His voice drops. āPlease?ā
Nobara wiggles her eyebrows. āYou two are disgusting,ā she groans, then pats your shoulder. āIām getting drinks. Donāt do anything gross while Iām gone.ā
She disappears. Megumi drifts off too, yelling something at a teammate.
And suddenly, itās just you and him again.
The air is warm from the sun, the grass glittering with confetti. His hand is still curled around yours. āIām really glad you came, yāknow.ā
You smile softly. āOf course I did.ā
āAnd⦠that guy earlier,ā he adds too casually, āDo you⦠know him?ā
There it isāthe tiny crack in his voice.
And something sinks in your stomach. Youāre exhaustedāraw beneath the skin. And youāre way too tired to explain the history heās scarred you. Not today. Not after this win. Not when heās glowing like a sun you donāt want to dim.
So you answer gently, āNot really. Donāt worry about it.ā
Yujiās silent.
But you can feel the tension humming beneath his ribs as he tries to read your face. After a few steps, he murmurs, barely audible underneath his breath. āHey, so⦠did you really cheer that loud?ā
You grin. āYeah. For you.ā
āThen why do you look so tired?ā he asks.
Your steps falter. āIām fine.ā
His brows pinch. He looks at you closely.
āYou donāt have to say āfineā just because you think itās easier,ā he says. āI can handle it. Whatever it is.ā
But your mind is still tangled from the morning, from the noise, from everything you havenāt wanted to burden anyone with. You look away.
It shouldāve been easyāYujiās arms around you, the campus buzzing with leftover cheers, Megumi shouting something smug in the distance, Nobara somewhere in the corner of your eye. Everything is loud, and warm, and safe.
But Yuji doesnāt see the phone screen still lighting up in your pocket.
He doesnāt notice how your fingers have been curling in on themselves, and suddenly, the sunlight feels too bright. Your pulse crawls up the back of your throat. Softly, without meaning to, youāre muttering under your breath.
āYouāre not even here half the time. How are you gonna āhandle itā?ā
He catches it too, but he doesnāt say anything. You donāt even know he heard it⦠because you arenāt entirely wrong. Heās been either late or disappeared midway through the last three times you hung out. Last weekend, he ditched you mid-dance, and you told him it was fineāof course it was fineāit just stung more than you want to admit, and today, he barely made it to field day on time.
Something about helping someone, getting caught up, you werenāt even sure.
You donāt want to be another thing that drags him down.
āItās nothing. You donāt have to worry about me today. Youāve got more important people to celebrate with.ā
Yuji stops walking altogether. The shift is smallābarely a misstep on the pavementābut it feels like the ground trembles.
āWhat?ā he asks quietly.
āEveryoneās congratulating you. You should enjoy it. You donāt need to be glued to me.ā
His face falls in slow motion. āIs that⦠what you think? That Iām only here because I feel like I should be?ā
You donāt answer fast enough, and your silence hurts him more than any shouted insult could have. The tension that holds in the air now is unbearable.
His face contorts into a frown.
āSeriously?ā he murmurs. āI just ran straight to you after the biggest game of the semester, and you think I wouldnāt choose you?ā
His voice wavers, and you quickly shake your head, tilting your head to look at him. āYuji, thatās notāā
āNo, itās okay,ā he says, stepping back, eyes darting everywhere except your face.Ā
āYujiāā His expression ruins you, and now, you wish more than anything but to take back your words.
He swallows hard. āI get it."
There it is.
The crack in the glass. The place where he breaks. You reach out for him, but all he does is step away.
āYou know I didnāt mean that, I was just tiredāā
āIām sorry,ā he whispers, and the cheering behind you erupts, but the world between you stills.
The stadium burst into cheers for the next round of the competition, and his teammates are shouting his name, waving him over for the afterparty. āYuji! Letās go!ā
He hesitates.
Because he wants to stay. You can see that. But still, he pulls his hand back.
āIāll be right back, okay?ā he says, smiling the way he always doesāthe one that makes your chest warm and ache and twist all at once. āPromise.ā
You just⦠nod. Itās easier than saying youāre not sure you believe it anymore.
And even in the blinding afternoon sun, the warmth he leaves you with still feels cold.
The bleachers, the crowd, the pats on his backāthey all drift into nothing.
Nothing matters.
Not when guilt claws at him with each step he takes further from you. He canāt stop himself, though.
He doesnāt deserve you, and even when he sees the faltering pain in your eyes, when it seems like heās ripped your whole heart out, even when he didnāt mean toā
He should walk away from you.
You deserve better.
But when the hair on his skin stands, the jolt of every nerve in his system sparking up, the dread of what heās always feared crawls back up into him.
He runs straight back to you.
You slowly step away from the crowd, letting the chatter fade into the background. The noise of the campus stadium and cheering grows distant, muffled, yet every step feels heavier than the last. Your bag drags against your shoulder, but truthfully, thatās not even whatās weighing you down.
Each breath catches in your chest as you walk through the shortcut through the science wing. Home. You just want to go home now.
The afternoon sun glares against the metal supports of the demo tents. You barely notice them. Instead, your mind is wrapped up in everything, and you hate that you even feel this way. Hate that even until now, every time you think youāve grown to be logical enough, your heart always gets the better of you.
Your steps echo softly within the hollow of your mind, seconds stretching into minutes, minutes into hours. You donāt even know how long youāve been walking. How far youāve wandered. All you know is that youāre all aloneāboth literally and in your head.
A loud metallic groan rips through the air.
Suddenly, the metal pole just above the building snaps. Thereās no thought, and only the sudden, sickening realisation that itās coming down.
Oh.
You just stand there, memories flashing through your eyes in replay.
Yuji flashes through your eyes.
This is itā
But suddenly⦠in the blink of an eye, all you see is a blur of red and blue.
Your chest slams against a familiar chest, and the world flips upside down for a heartbeat. Air screams past your ears. The pole crashes behind you, scattering debris, a deafening clatter that reverberates in your bones.
You gasp, clutching him, every nerve ending on fire. Pain lances through your arm where the pole grazed you, and your knee scrapes against the pavement as he manoeuvres you away.Ā
The wind tears at your hair, and even in the chaos, your mind reels.Ā
āYou⦠you okay?ā His voice is low, urgent, but behind the mask, it trembles.
Itās Spider-Man.
But you canāt answer. Your body shakes, each blink glowing hotter and hotter as the weight of everything finally crashes.
āIāIāā You canāt finish.
Your throat tightens, and you simply break in his arms. His grip tightens, swinging you back toward a safer alleyway, ignoring the chatter, the noise, and everything else.
āItās okay⦠youāre okay. Iāve got you,ā he whispers, and somewhere in the midst of it, his voice cracks.
āHey, look at me. Justājust look at me,ā he lowers himself beside you, knees hitting the cold concrete, his hands closing around yours with a trembling gentleness.Ā
You choke on a breath, shaking your head furiously, face buried in your arms. āI canāt⦠I canātāā
His voice softens, frays at the edges. āPlease. Breathe. Just breathe.ā
The tears spill faster, hot and relentless. Youāre folding in on yourself, small and shaken, and the words slip out in pieces you canāt hold back.
āIāYuji⦠I canāt⦠I justā¦ā Your voice quivers. āI donāt want to be a burden. I donāt want toāā
āYouāre not!ā he almost shouts, but it cracks, breaking down into a whisper.
āDo you hear me? Your life matters. It matters.ā His breath trembles. His hands cup your face now, fingers digging into the sides of your jaw as he kneels beside you. āAnd if no one else can keep you safe, then I will. I will. So donāt everāever say that again.ā
Your sobs shake all the way through you, and he pulls you into him, arms banding around your body, holding you. Even then, the panic still claws at your ribs. He presses his forehead to yours, his voice barely holding itself together. āIāve got you. Just⦠just trust me. Do you want to go home?ā
Youāre sobbing into his chest now. Your ribs are aching, your shoulders throbbing, and youāre stuttering in shallow gasps, yet somehow, with the last tiniest bit of strength left in you, you manage a nod.
His arms wrap around you again, lifting you gently. The wind roars past as he swings, your body cradled against his chest. The city blurs into streaks of silver and orange, but none of it grounds you. Everything still bites.
By the time he lands on your balcony, your legs buckle, and he sets you down with a quick turn away. Like he thinks he should leave. Like he thinks heās the problem.
Your chest caves in.
āI canāt⦠I donātāā you whisper, and then, with trembling fingers, you grasp his wrists.
He freezes, panic flashing behind the mask.
You tug him down to your level, breath shaky, heart ricocheting against your ribs.
You look up at him, heart pounding so loudly you can barely hear the storm around youāand for the first time, Yuji wants nothing more than to rip off his mask. Right here. Right now.
Because trust has always felt like something he wasnāt allowed to have⦠yet here you are, the one constant in the chaos of his double life, holding onto him like heās the only steady thing in your world.
The home he was never sure Yuji Itadori deserves, not when Spider-Manās saving lives, all the while Yuji is running late for another hangout somewhere else.
The slope of his jaw beneath the mask, the shape of his shoulders beneath the soaked suit, the faint scent of detergent he always uses at home. Youāre exhaustedātired of the uncertainty, tired of the guessingāeverything about him feels almost too familiar.
It breaks something loose inside you. āYujiā¦?āĀ
Your voice is barely more than a breath, but to him, it lands even harder than lightning.
He freezes.
He doesnāt breathe, doesnāt even move a muscle.
Not even when your fingers slide to the edge of his mask, and in a heartbeat of terror and clarity, you pull it up.Ā
Your world stops.
The way his voice cracks in the exact shape of Yujiās kindness, the way he whispers comfort with words only Yuji has ever spoken to you. The way he knows exactly how to hold you, just like Yuji did when you both danced in that one street.
And now, seeing himāwet-faced, trembling, eyes glassy with fear and reliefāit hits you like a punch straight through the ribs.
āYāYouā¦ā His voice breaks. āIām sorryāI was going to tell you, I swear, I justāā
You donāt let him finish.
You just lean in and kiss him. Desperate, shaking. Relief, anger, and love all at once. Fearāthat you couldāve lost him before you ever got to say any of it.
Itās right there and then he goes stiff with shock⦠before he finally melts with a shaky exhale, pulling you so close your feet practically leave the ground.
āYou⦠youāre alive,ā he whispers into your hair as he pulls back slightly, forehead resting against yours.
āI thoughtāGod, I thought I lost you.ā His voice cracks as he buries himself in the crook of your neck, arms still locked around you.
Your fingers curl into the back of his suit. ā...Donāt go.ā
He lifts his head, tears dripping down his cheeks. His forehead presses to yours, his breath shuddering.
āStay. Please.ā
Youāre whispering, shaking. He looks at you for a secondāand it doesnāt take another until his lips crash into yours again.
The floorboards creak. The air is heavy. Kiniroās sleeping somewhere in the kitchen, but your legs are wrapped tight around Yujiās waist now. Heās holding you up, fingers digging into your thighs.
āWaitāā He cuts you off with another kiss as he stumbles into the living room, lights still off.
Your hands gently clutch the back of his suit even tighter. Your kisses are sloppy, frantic, and desperate. He quickly yanks his mask off, throwing it straight at the couch while he lifts you like nothing with one hand.
āSorry,ā he mumbles, but heās already back to nibbling your bottom lip, working his way up to your breathless gasps.
āMm⦠Yuji,ā Your fingers lace through the pink threads of his hair, ruffling through them as something pools just beneath your stomach.Ā
The door rattles behind you as he pushes it open with your back against it, a creak rattling across, and when he does pull away, a drool lingers just between the two of you, and he looks up at you, lifted, like the most gorgeous angel ever. You pant, hand grasping his clothed bicep, as he presses a thumb under your chin, tipping your head further back.Ā
Heās wanted this for the last five years of his life, and now here you areālost in it and in his armsāhe just might explode into a million pieces.
āI love you,ā he peppers even more kisses, agonisingly dragging a trail from your chin, all the way up to your drooped eyelids, hazy, muzzy even as your breath heaves with each gasp. āSo fucking much.ā
Your heartās also pounding loudly, and even when he plops you down on his bed, you refuse to let go. You watch as he fumbles the unbuttoning of your clothes, and you tilt your head back as he trails even more wet kisses on your face. His knee slides right between your legs.
Goosebumps trail each time his lips meet your skin, and his fingers are still gripped tight onto the flesh of your thighs. His bed, his taste, your head is so intoxicated with him, itās driving you insane. Even inhaling the fresh lemon detergent of his sheets makes you nuzzle against it, whining as he plants yet another kiss on your neck.
āSlow down,ā you sigh, threading your fingers through his hair as he trails down to your stomach, nails scratching his scalp as he nuzzles into your touch, kissing the thin fabric separating you from his desperate mouth.
But as drunk as he is, lost in the whirlwind of your moans driving him insanely, unbearably hot amidst the cold air, he pauses for a second.
Just above your stomach, he slowly turns to look up at you. ā...Are you okay with this?ā
He looks up at you like heās worshipping a goddess, because even in all your dazedness, youāre drop-dead gorgeousāeyes glossy, lips curled, breath panting.
āMhmā¦ā He instantly snuggles his face into your stomach, making you giggle, āWhat theāYuji!ā
Every kiss feels like worship, his mouth tracing shakingly down the insides of your thighs until he reaches the heat between them. With a gentle press of his hands, he nudges your legs apart and slips your pants down your hips, letting them fall away completely.
He goes utterly still.
God, he thinks, itās so fucking pretty. And even though heās never done this before, not really, heās seen enough, learned enough, to know what to do.
His thumbs glide through your slickness and gently spread you open, baring every trembling part of you to his stare. The cold whisper of air makes you shift and whimper, embarrassment warming your cheeks. You donāt see it, thoughāthe way his gaze drops, dark with want, his breath nearly catching at the sight of you.
Slowly, he leans in, breath warm against you before his tongue draws a long, deliberate lick through your folds. He canāt help but utter a low, hungry groan rumbling from his chest.
āFuck⦠taste so sweet,ā he mutters against you, hips pressing hard into the mattress as if he canāt help himself.
āYujiāā Your back bows off the sheets in an instant, a startled cry slipping out as your thighs snap around his head.
But he only growls softly in response, arms locking around your legs to hold you open for him. He doesnāt stopānot for a secondāas he devours you, messy yet greedy, drinking down every drop of your sweet slick.
His throaty groan vibrates straight through you, sending shivers up your spine. Your jaw falls open, eyes fluttering shut as you melt back into the mattress. "You're so beautifulā so..."
He canāt help itācanāt help melting into your taste.
His mouth grows sloppier, jaw loosening so he can slurp louder, tongue moving with sprouting confidence. He circles your clit again and again, then dips lower, pushing his tongue clumsily but tenderly into your heat. His lashes brush his cheeks as he moves, muddled and klutzyāyet careful, and worshipping you with every greedy stroke.
Your fingers glide down your stomach, trembling as you reach for him, burying your hand in his hair. At the same time, your nails drag lightly across the nape of his neck as you tug him closer, guiding him deeper between your thighs. He groans into you, then pulls back only long enough to slick his fingers with his tongue before rubbing your clit in slow, deliberate circles. Silently, he watches your slick drip down, following the trail with dark, dilated eyes.
Your tongue slips out, thumb brushing your lower lip as you look down at him. The sight alone makes him shudder.
āAre you okay?ā he murmurs.
Heat flares over your cheeks, but you nod with a soft, breathy hum, lips parted as he lowers his mouth again. He laps at your folds slowly, savouring you, sweet warmth spilling over his tongue while he keeps his gaze on you.
āMhm⦠Yuā¦ā you breathe, a small moan escaping as your lids grow heavy again.
Something warm blooms in his chest at the sight of you weakly squirming, voice all soft and sweet, and he dives back to your clit. His tongue flicks over the sensitive bud until your moans climb higher, your hips jerking. Heās rutting subtly into the mattress.
āYuāahh, Iām gonnaāgonna cumāā Your legs tremble, thighs trying to snap shut on instinct, but he only tightens his arms around them, holding you open as his mouth works you through itāpushing you right to the edge.
And then youāre falling.
Your jaw drops slack, tongue lolling slightly as stars burst behind your eyelids. You gasp out a broken āHaaghāā all the while, soft, desperate moans spill from your lips.
The sound you make has him tensing all over again, breath catching as he leans in to press a soft kiss to your inner thigh. His eyes are half-lidded, lips parted, watching the way your lashes flutter, and how your body trembles with the aftershocks he pulled out of you.
He stares like heās mesmerised.
And in the heat of it, he just canāt stop himself.
His thumb finds your clit again, pressing lightly, and your words dissolve into breathy whines. He's talking you through it. Watching as your pretty lashes kiss your cheeks as your hips lift, chasing more, and he gives it to youāsliding a finger inside with a low, desperate sound.
āYour voice⦠fuckāā he groans, the sound almost a plea.
You yelp, grip tighteningāone hand buried in his hair, the other fisting the sheets.
Then he adds a second finger, humming as your walls stretch around him, giving you barely a heartbeat before heās thrusting them in and out, building pace. Your eyes go wide, back arching sharply, nails sinking into his bicep as he peppers kisses up your neck.
āIāY-Yujiāahh, pleaseāI just cameāā Your voice breaks so sweetly it nearly kills him, and maybe he should give you a second to breatheābut heās already kissing down your chest, already pulling your top up without you noticing, clumsily unclasping your bra with unsteady fingers.
Heās dreamed of tasting you like this for years. God, you canāt even imagine.
His tongue drags over your nipple, lips closing around it as his fingers keep working you open, and all he can thinkāwatching you squeeze his arm, bury your face in his shoulder, thighs trembling around his wristāis how heartbreakingly cute you are, and how intoxicatingly soft your breasts feel.
Your legs shake as he finally pulls his fingers out, and he pops them into his mouth, sucking them clean while staring right at you in all his dazed hunger. You feel yourself grow embarrassed at the obscene sight, your lips part in silent awe, chest rising and falling as you watch him.
Finally, after what seems like forever, he reaches for his suit, unzipping it and letting it fall to the floor. His hands fumble with his boxersāslow, torturousāand you canāt tear your gaze from the dark shape straining against the fabric.
When it slips free, your breath catches. Your heart lurches into your throat.
Itās fucking huge. Your pupils blow wide, a tiny sound catching in your throat. He gathers the pre-cum on his thumb, spreading it over the swollen head before settling beside you on the bed.
ā'Kay, angelā¦ā he exhales, voice shaking, āthink weāre⦠goodā¦ā
Your face burns, dizzy with need. His lips find yours again as he rocks his cock through your slick folds, coating himself, teasing you both. You grind up instinctively, but he pulls back with sudden panic in his eyes. āShitācondomāā
You cut him off. āIām safe.ā
He freezes. Looks at you once, and his fingers tremble. Both of you are flushed, breathless, then he kisses you againāharder, desperate.Ā
āI fuckināā heās gasping through each clumsy kiss, āfuckāI love youāso fuckinā much.ā
The wordsāmessy, breathless, dripping with sincerityāturn your mind to nothing but mush. By the time he settles back between your thighs, lifting your legs high around his waist, youāre already trembling. A slow, burning stretch blossoms inside you as he presses just the head of his cock in.
āTell me if it hurts,ā he murmurs.
āNghāYujāā you start, but he kisses you before the rest can leave your lips, fingers threading through your hair with such tenderness it makes your chest ache.
āYouāre, urgh, doing so well⦠Yeahā¦ā He watches in fascination at the lewd scene of your cunt taking in his cock. āFuckāso fuckinā goodāā
He's panting, eyes fixed on where your bodyās parting around him. Heās only seen stuff like this on his phone, but it doesnāt compare to the real thing, and the sight alone makes him choke on a groan.
Your moan breaks loose, higher and needier as he rocks his hips, inching in deeper. Youāre tightāso tightāand the mix of pressure and pleasure has you clinging to him, whining when his hand squeezes your thigh.
āI-Itās okay, angelāfuck, b-breathe,ā he huffs, eyes squeezing shut as a low groan rumbles out of him. āIām not gonna last like this, baby.ā
The name hits you like a sparkāyour body involuntarily clenches around him, and he notices instantly. He lifts his head despite the sweat trailing down his temple, a breathless, smug little smile tugging at his lips.
āYou l-like that, baby?ā he teases, voice cracked and warm. His hand cups your chin, guiding your gaze back to him as he pants through the ache.
āY-Yujā¦ā you whisper, gasping as he sinks in deeper. You nuzzle instinctively into his palm, stroking your cheek.
And fuckāyou canāt expect him to hold back when youāre kissing the rough heel of his hand like that.
He canāt doesnāt wait for you to adjust fully. His mouth crashes onto yours, tongue greedy and eager as he kisses you like heās drowning. Because really, he is, with how his knees shake as he digs into the mattress, all before he slowly thrusts forwardāeach controlled drag burying more of his thick length deeper inside you.
You cling to him, nails digging into his broad shoulders, into the hard cut of muscle beneath his skin, and he grunts at the sting, hips rutting deeper, each movement slow and heavy enough to make your breath stutter.
You feel everythingāevery ridge, every pulse, every maddening inch of him, and your moans twist into soft, breathy cries, mixing with his low, guttural groans against your lips.
You donāt even hear how the roomās engulfed with nothing but the lewd squelches echoing through the quiet now, his hips softly plapping against you, grunting in your ear whenever you unintentionally clench around him.
Your soft whines turn into sweet cries, and his eyes dilate in awe, cheeks flushed as your vision blurs. Your wet lips part, crying his name over and over, and with each cry, you can feel him somehow grow even larger as he kisses your cervix like heās addicted.
āAnghāwait!ā you whine, grasping his nape, back arching as he continues his torturous pace, the burning yet filling stretch leaving you breathless.
Your mind is scrambled, completely lost to the pleasure as you try to adjust, but heās already slowly picking up his pace. And it didnāt matter how pathetic your whines got, or how much you came, because he's just kissing you with worship, peppering every part of you like youāre heaven itself, tongue peeking into your mouth again.
And heās hooked. Hooked with how every time he tries to pull, youāre sucking him back in.
āItās too muchāYujāPleaseāā and heās also whimpering right above you.
āHaahāFuck, fuck, Iām close, babyāā his lips part, groaning when you instinctually clench around him again.
He swallows each pathetic whine of yours and vice versa, grunting into you with every thrust, both of you panting against each other.
Your mouthās dangling open with trails of drool, and each time he whispers sweet praises of how gorgeous you are, you canāt help but string out moans and whimpers, filling the thick air of his bedroom. āYouāre taking me⦠so well⦠ā
You can hardly squeeze any comprehensible thoughts out of you, and your head falls back against him, strength slipping away, hips quivering as quiet whimpers escape you. āHnngh, Y-Yujiii..."
āCan I cum inside?ā
āM-Mhmm,ā you agree instantly, breath catching as your body betrays you. Youāve forgotten long ago, anyway, how to resist him.
A certain shiver ripples through you, and Yujiās pace picks up even more, breath even heavier for the release he's been saving just for you, his whole life.
āBaby,ā He pleads. āFuck, baby, pleaseāLook at me,ā
The same strong hand on your jaw softly tilts your head to turn, and your eyes meet his dilated pupils. āCan you feel that? Feel what you do to me? What youāve been doing to me, baby? Nghāā
You feel him rolling the rest of his cock deeper inside you while heās whimpering, and all at once, the air seems to leave your lungs as he slides his arms beneath your thighs, lifting you effortlessly. Before you can even register whatās happening, heās standing with you in his arms, the weight and closeness leaving your heart racing.
"Does this feel better for you?ā
As if. Your legs go weak in his arms, trembling as your body twitches now with every subtle movement he makes. Youāre completely at his mercy, breath catching and chest rising and falling faster than you can control. Tiny, messy traces fall from your lips, dripping out onto the floor with soft splatters down below.
He spreads you out wider, aims sliding beneath your thighs, and fingers digging into the plush of your thighs. You feel like youāre simply floating, all whilst he hauls you up and down his cock, leaving you helpless as you sink back into everything heās sliding desperately into you.
āN-Ngh, Yujā!ā Your voice catches, eyes misting as he burrows closer into the crook of your neck.
A deep, almost dizzying warmth pulses through you, and suddenly, it all bursts. Your hands claw at his back, squirming and desperate for the grounding presence of him. He huffs against your skin as well, breath ragged. His voice drops eager, and you feel it shiver straight through you. āHaah⦠Iām so close.ā
All you can do is tremble around him, giving a slow, lazy nod, lost in the crazed intensity between you.
Heās spilling every rope of cum inside you, and even through it, he doesnāt stop. He keeps a slower, gentler pace, thrusts kissing your cervix even more like heās thanking you, same as how heās peppering your face with kisses now.
"Yujiā¦"
He pants softly in your ear, plopping his cock out tiredly from your hole and onto your bed below. Both of you are still heaving; your bodies stay pressed tightly together.
You murmur from underneath his weight, voice muffled against his shoulder, and it makes him melt as he still holds you close.
āI love you so much... Fuck, Iām sorry I acted like a jerk,ā he whispers, gazing into your tired, adoring eyes. āIāll jump off a cliff if I ever make you cry again.ā
You laugh, playfully punching his arm. With a quick peck to his nose, youāre already readjusting so you can straddle him again.
He traces a finger gently along your lips, a little grin on his face.
You raise a brow. āWhat?ā
āCan we umāā he leans in for a quick kiss, āCan we try doggy style now?ā
Okay, cross his weird cooking showsāyouāre monitoring his weird porn stash too.
Everything aches when you wake up.
Your arms are stiff, and your legs are all sore, peppered with bite marks and faint crescents from last night. Sunlight filters through the peeping blinds, painting golden stripes across the bed, but thatās not the only weight youāre feeling on top of you.
Yujiās arm is draped over yours now, warm and comfortably heavy. Heās sprawled on his stomach beside you, hair a chaotic mess, eyelids shut, face practically buried in the pillow. You shift slightly, wincing at the soreness, and his eyes snap open like heās sensed you awake.
Under his breath, a groan escapes him, followed by a tilt of the head as he glances at you, face squished adorably into the pillow. The memories of last night hit you like a freight train, and your face instantly blooms scarlet.
āGood morning,ā he whispers, lips curling into a smile.
āā¦Morning,ā you croak, voice hoarse.
He instantly breaks into laughter, rolling lazily onto his back beside you while you frown at him, still too self-conscious.
Your gaze drifts over him unconsciously, eyes tracing over last nightās scratches on his broad back. The little ridges where his elbows pressed into you, his chest rising and falling from sleep and⦠other marks. His ears are pink, warm under the sunlight, and he buries his face into your hair, all snuggled with you. Both of you stay like that for a few heartbeats, breathing each other in, disbelief lingering like the soft haze after fireworks.
Eventually, you reach for your phone, which youād carelessly tossed on the bedside table yesterday. But when the lock screen lights up, your heart nearly jumps out of your throat.
āWhatāā Yuji murmurs, groggy and confused.
āI have class in thirty minutes!ā you gasp, scrambling off the bed despite the soreness. āI cannot miss this one!ā
His eyes instantly widen, and before you can blink, heās already on his feet. He rushes over to your side, scooping you into his arms as he carries you bridal-style to the shower.
āIāll get your clothes, uhā hold on!ā he calls, and just like that, heās darting to your room, leaving you blinking and flustered.Ā
The showerās warmth does little to soothe the ache of your limbs, but you linger just long enough to pull the towel tight around yourself. When you finally do open the bathroom door, you freeze.
Spider-Man. In. The. Flesh.
Heās standing there, folded clothes in hand, looking every bit like the superhero he is. Though the awkward, nervous smile beneath it? 100% Yuji. You pause, staring, and when you finally reach for your clothes, you whisper a hurried thanks, cheeks burning.
He gives a little wave back at you.
Youāre not telling him thanks, this time, thoughāwhen fast-forward five minutes, youāre in the air, soaring past skyscrapers, strapped in some ridiculous ghost mask he bought last Halloween.
Your stomach flips every time the wind picks up, hair whipping across your face, and the city below blurs into dizzying streaks of light. When you eventually land in a quiet alleyway, youāre gasping for breath, legs trembling, and he finally lets go of your waist. You glance at your watch.
Ten minutes leftācue panic.
You start to turn and dash, but canāt resist sneaking one last glance over your shoulder. Yuji simply stands there, chest heaving, mask slightly crooked, head tilted. He's waving you to get moving already.
But you canāt leave it at that, so quickly, you run back, grab his clenched fists gently in one hand, and lift his mask just slightly to plant a brief peck on his lips.
āThanks,ā you whisper. And before he can say a word, youāre offārushing back into the bustle, heart hammering, adrenaline still sending quivers through your shaky legs.
"Oh my god...." He dramatically leans back against the cold alley wall, sliding down slowly while clutching at his own head beneath his zipped get-up.
His suit definitely needs an upgrade from Megumi, he thinks, because youād left him totally knocked out.
And right now, his brain is half-filled with how easily you just slipped awayāthe other half overclocking on how he's so, so down bad for you.
A pigeon coos from above, judgmental in its stare.
Class has barely ended when your phone buzzes. The hallway is in its usual chaosāsneakers squeaking across scuffed linoleum, laughter ricocheting, backpacks slung over shoulders. Youāre juggling your bag, your water bottle, and an overdue sense of exhaustion as you pull out your phone, fully expecting a group chat notification or a calendar reminder.
But then you see the name on the screen. Yuji.
Yuji: look at the manhattan bridge :))
Your brows knit, confused, but curiosity wins still, and you turn toward the tall window overlooking the city, breath fogging faintly against the cold glass. The sky is rinsed in a soft apricot glow today, dripping over the skyline like spilt honey. Its golden hour tints with warmth, enough to melt even the sharpest edges of steel and glass.
And thatās when you see it.
Strung between the beams like frost, shimmering in the golden, like itās snared a wandering cloud amidst the bleeding skyāthree words are strung across the Manhattan Bridge in enormous, gleaming webs.
Each letter is woven thick, looped around half a dozen times so they wonāt blow away in the wind.
Your eyes widen. There is absolutely no way.
I LOVE YOU.
Your heart skips violently, and your breath stumbles out of your chest in a gasp.
A stupid, giddy laugh bubbles out of you before you can stop it, and your hand flies to your mouth as if you can physically push your stunned smile back in.
āIdiotā¦ā you whisper.
Around you, other students press against the windows, whispering, pointing. Someone mutters,
āBrother did a whole Hollywood signā¦ā
āIs Spider-Man in love?? With who??ā
Your phone buzzes again.
Yuji: empty classroom, east wing. the one w the broken light. hurry! :(
You bite the inside of your cheek, trying to fight off the warmth spreading through your chest as you practically float down the hallway. Your steps are light, your face is on fire, and your heart's busy doing backflips inside.
By the time you reach the forgotten old classroom in the east wing, your pulse is sprinting. The door sits slightly open, the flickering ceiling light casting lazy pulses of brightness across the desks like itās trying, yet failing, to stay conscious.
You push the door open.
And there he is. Yuji stands near one of the desks, mask pulled back and tucked into his hood, pink-peach curls mussed from the wind.
His cheeks are flushed, hoodie slightly crooked, and even though heās leaning like heās been waiting forever, he probably swung here mere seconds just before you arrived.
How do you know that? Because the flowers in his hands look like they've just gone through hell and back.
When he sees you, something in him softens so completely it makes your breath catch.
āHey,ā he says, smile tugging gently at the corners of his mouth.
Itās so pure, so bright, it almost tricks you into thinking he didnāt just do something as insane as webbing a literal confession across a whole bridge.
You let out a breathy laugh as you approach him. āYuji⦠you webbed the entire Manhattan Bridge.ā
He rubs the back of his neck, practically glowing.
āIāuhāwanted to make sure you saw it?ā He winces. āAnd that you didnāt think I was joking.ā
His voice gentles. āI mean it.ā
Before your brain can even catch up with your racing heart, he reaches out. His hands slip like usual to your waist.
He looks at you like sunlight through glass, stars folding into themselvesāunfathomable heaven of devotion graced into every line of his expression.
āYou ready to go home?ā he asks softly.Ā
You wrap your arms around him.
āYeah,ā you whisper, and his forehead drops to your shoulder in the tiniest, softest surrender.
He nuzzles into the crook of your neck, inhaling deeply as you giggle and ruffle his hair.
āI love you too, silly.ā
Outside, the sun sinks slowly behind the skyline, ember light scattered across the room as it catches on a stray fleck of web on Yujiās sleeve. It glows like silver fire as he lifts you effortlessly, stepping toward the window. You simply cling to him, heart soaring as he pushes the pane open and the cool wind rushes in.
With a soft laugh, Yuji leaps, both of you cutting through the evening breeze as the city roars beneath.
Taxis honk, trains rattle, pedestrians shout, but everything muffles the moment his arm curls tighter around you.
With him, flying feels safe.
With him, the city feels small.
With him, the skyline with I LOVE YOU strung across it feels like the only world that matters.
He steals a glance at you mid-swing, cheeks flushed, eyes bright.
New York watches as he swings past skyscrapersāand this time, he isn't alone. He holds you like he has nowhere else to be but by your side, basking in the afterglow of a love he had written across the skyline just for you.Ā
Petals float below from the two of you, and you say his words back. Barely louder than the wind, but just enough for him, and only him, to hear.
It's what youāve found between this litany of quiet youāve both settled into:
āHome.ā
CH 1 ā CH 2 ā CH 3 ąŖāā“
CH 2āwith great power comes great responsibility; and a thousand reasons to run. his father left him grief, your mother gave him rules. you gave him a reason to stay.
keishin ukai finds a cure to his nicotine addiction /swf
keishin who comes back one day after practice with the karasuno kids only to find a stranger in his store. not a costumer, noā a girl, happily restocking shelves under his motherās watchful gaze.
what. the fuck.
as soon as he walks in, his mother sees the million questions in his eyes, and immediately pulls him to the side to prevent him saying something mean. heās got to admit, she knows him too well.
āshe said she just moved into town, and sheās so so lovely, keishin,ā she murmured reassuringly. āso put away that grumpy face and be nice, okay?ā
he was going to drop it when he was sure you werenāt a threat. so until then, he would test you.
heās never mean, per se, but he does load up on his teasing, making sure he points out when you leave even a speck of dust on a surface, or put a product in the wrong spot (it was empty, and you had no idea what was supposed to go there. keishin didnāt tell you).
one day youāre going to break, heās so sure of itā but you never do. you greet him with a wide smile even in the early morning, watering the plants out front that he forgot to water the night before. you donāt bother him unless itās strictly necessary, and listen intently when he purposefully gives you a half-assed answer.
youā¦really are nice. too nice. in a way that keishin isnāt exactly ready to come to terms with just yet. but he does loosen up eventually, even if just a little, just enough to start getting flustered by you.
it feels like the situation is slipping out of his control. he shouldnāt feel his cheeks warm up when he sees you in that floral dress youāve worn numerous times already, shouldnāt feel an irrationally angry twist in his gut when you laugh at a joke one of the karasuno kids makes as they chat outside the store after practice.
in keishinās mind, the only logical way to deal with this was to make you flustered. totally not because he developed a disgustingly huge crush on you.
you notice the change in his attitude, his tone shifting from condescending to teasing, how he becomes significantly more talkative. was he always such a show-off?
you donāt mind, of course, because you were no stranger to keishinās charm, even if he was a bitā¦odd. but you were happy heād warmed up to you anyway, even if you didnāt really know the reason.
āwatch the front for me, iāll be back in five.ā
you halt mid-action through dusting a shelf to look over your shoulder. āsmoking again, keishin? itās only eleven.ā
he turns to look at you, a cigarette already dangling between his lips. you narrow your eyes at him. āhow many have you smoked already?ā you ask, your tone mildly accusatory. āonly the ones since opening the store? or since i woke up this morning?ā
you can only sigh, shaking your head as you go back to your chore. āi know itās not my place to talk, and iām sure youāve heard this many times before, but i think thereās plenty other things that are better than a cigāā
āyeah? like what?ā
you gasp, heart leaping out of your chest as heās suddenly standing behind you, chocolate eyes peering down at you as he cocks his head. āwell, for one, not give me a heart attack!ā you squeak, hitting his apron-covered chest with the cloth you were using.
he chuckles, and your heart does another kind of leap when his fingers wrap around your wrist, keeping your hand on him. āi think i have a better one,ā is all he whispers before closing the distance between your lips.
itās nothing grand, just a peck that lasts long enough to leave you dazed, eyes wide like saucers when he pulls back, sporting the most unfairly handsome shit-eating grin youāve ever seen.
āi wonāt go out for a smoke, but only if i can do this instead. that okay with you?ā
youāre still a bit stunned, but manage to nod your head. āy-yeahā¦totally cool for me,ā you say a bit out of breath.
if you were going to react like that every time, quitting cigarettes was going to be easy as pie for him.

RING! RING! RING!
The blaringāand rather annoyingāsound of your alarm coming from your phone jolts you right out of your peaceful sleep. You groan, rubbing your eyes drowsily as you tap the screen of the device.
7:30.
Huh. Thatās odd. Why do you have a timer set for this early?
Then you get a text.
1 NEW NOTIFICATION!
šš minaaa !! ā girl where tf r u?? class is starting in like 35 mins, i thought you said you were gonna be here early šš
Oh no.
Oh no.
Itās your first day at UA.
And youāre gonna be late.
You practically JUMP out of bed, your covers and pillows flying as you rush through your usually structured morning routine. You brush your teeth, throw on your uniform, style your hair, throw toast into your toaster while still buttoning your blazedāit was a mess. Youāre hopping into your black Mary Janeās as you exit your hotel room, toast in hand as you run. This wasnāt how your far-fetched fantasies told you this would play outābut hey, youāre here now.
Climbing into your Mercedes, you back out of the parking lot and SLAM your foot onto the gas. 10 minutes left. The ETA says UA is about 7 minutes away. Youāll make it. Barely. Speeding through lanes, sharp turns, and way too many glimpses of nearby police cars later, you find yourself in the parking lot of UAāthe dream youāve been working towards since you were 12. This is it. You sigh in relief, hoisting your messenger bag across your body and adjusting your hair one last time before hopping out of your Mercedes, running towards the university with your schedule in hand.
Most people your age got into UA with quirks. Athletics. Hell, even recommendations. But you? You got in with intellect. Sure, UA was a university known for its aspiring future heroes and people that had previously attended itās high school, but UA was at the top of the charts when it came to academics, as well. Thatās probably why it was your dream since you knew what pre-algebra wasāand since people told you a quirkless female couldnāt be a pro hero. Which, for the record, you still intensely disagree with. Anyway, after many sleepless nights, rejected parties, and even more empty mugs of coffee, youāre finally here. And it feels good as you make your way through the hallway, maneuvering through chatty peers and open locker doors. Youād stop to admire the shimmering white floor and god-carved walls if you werenāt late. You eventually stop at a closed door.
āWell, here it goesā¦ā you mutter, hands hovering over the handle hesitantly before opening the door. Youāre met with a room that was most likely 2x the size of any house youāve ever lived in growing up, with a projector the size of your old apartment and shimmering clear windows lining the walls. Everyone present in the room looks at you, which makes your heart drop to your ass as you glance at the clock. 1 minute early. Your gaze flickers back to the crowd of people, before it lands on a familiar pink messy-haired girl smiling brightly at you. You sigh in relief.
Mina.
You two met online, and just so happened to be going to UA.
Lucky you.
You walk up the staircase (yes, staircase) to the empty seat next to Mina, sliding down into your seat with a relieved sigh. She slaps you on the arm lightly, huffing at you. āYou made it by the skin of your teeth! You never wake up late for important shit like this, whatās the deal?!ā She whisper-yelled at you, confused. You just scratch the back of your neck sheepishly, looking down at your desk. āI mustāve slept through my first alarm,ā you acknowledge, shrugging.
āGood morning, class! Now, as you all know, we have a new transfer joining us starting today. [name], if you wouldnāt mind?ā The professor states, adjusting his glasses and shooting you an encouraging smile as he gestures to the space beside him. You take a deep breath, pushing your nervousness down as you walk back down the steps. When youāre finally beside the professor, you give the class a polite yet genuine smile.
āHey. My name is [name], itās nice to meet you all. Why is it so quiet in here? Itās freaking me out,ā you remark, causing the whole class to laugh, easing the tension. ā..But, besides that, Iām looking forward to my time here,ā you state finally, your eyes meeting both blood-red ones and forest-green ones. You look away after a moment, a bit confused on why those eyes stood out so much to you before returning to your seat.
The rest of the day goes by relatively smoothly. You introduce yourself, throw in a tiny joke, the class laughs, and you fit right in, especially since Mina acts as your personal tour guide for most of the day.
āThis is the football field! The bleachers are to die for, and the football games!? Who wouldnāt want to see sweaty, hot guys in jerseys?ā With a teasing wink.
āThis is the cafeteria. They serve the most heavenly corn bread Iāve ever tasted in my entire existenceāp.s, Iāll probably steal yours.ā With a proud thumbs up.
āOh, and this is the bathroom! Donāt go in it after 9:00, itās so clean that people come in here to fuck,ā With a cheeky smile, causing you to furrow your eyebrows in both confusion and genuine notion.
But what truly caught your attention was what she said during lunchā
āAw, look at Katsuki and Izuku! Theyāre the cutest couple ever,ā Mina cooed, staring at the screen of her phone.
āWho?ā You question with a raised brow, raising your fork to your lips as you take a bite of your yellow rice.
ā..Oh, just my friends Iāve known since high school! I have a feeling youāll meet them soon,ā she shrugs nonchalantly, waving a dismissive hand as you just look at her in confusion.
Following Minaās personal tour, sure, you still felt a bit out of place in the prestigious hallways, but youāll adjustā¦
ā¦Soon enough.
After the school day comes to a close, you flip through a pamphlet your first professor gave you that contains your dorm numberādorm room 245. You walk into the dorm section of the university, climbing up various flights of stairs before finally making it to the 200ās. Making it to your designated dorm door, you sigh in relief, ready to just lay down and crash for the day as you open the door.
And then you saw them.
Blood-red eyes and forest-green ones.
Again.
But this time, you donāt just see the eyes. You see the full picture. The guy with blood-red eyes is blonde with spiky hair, with an almost aggressively quiet demeanor, whoās sitting on the couch with his rather muscular arms crossed against his chest. The guy with forest-green eyes has green hair thatās more on the fluffy side, with a more open and friendly demeanor, whoās sitting beside the blonde on the couch, his build more lean yet muscular as well. Despite their differences, both of them look up at you in confusion.
What the fuck?
The professor has deliberately said that you had a dorm to yourself, which was the main reason why you were so happy in the first place! Youād be able to only worry about your own laundry, sleep on your own schedule, keep the dorm clean, even walk around your dorm naked!ā
āWhat the hell do you want? You lost or somethinā?ā A rough, controlled and relatively snappy voice snaps you out of your own thoughts. It came from the blonde, while the green-haired guy sends him a glare that screams: āDonāt be like that.ā Your eyebrows furrow as you step into the dorm, closing the door behind you as you cross your arms. āI donāt mean to be rude, but this is supposed to be my dorm. I was ensured that I had a dorm to myself,ā you state simply, trying to be polite despite the blondeās attitude.
ā..Oh, right! Youāre the new student, [name], is it? My name is Izuku, itās nice to meet you! As for the dorm problemāIām sorry, but weāve been in this one since the start of the school year! Maybe it was a mix-up?ā The green-haired guy, now namely Izuku suggests, gracing you with a sheepish yet kind smile. You sigh softly, your arms dropping to your sides. āWhatever it isāyouāre not staying here. I donāt care if youāre new or not, Iām not sharing this shit with a random person,ā the blonde snarls rudely, causing Izuku to shoot him another glare. āKacchan, be nice! Sorry about him, this is Katsuki. I promise heās not always like this. Anyway, youāre free to stay here! Thereās an extra bedroom in the hallway to the right. You can figure out the dorm problem in the morning, unless you want me to go ask the principal about it now?ā Izuku offers, shooting you a warm smile.
Wait.
Izuku. Katsuki. Minaās friends.
So this is the couple she was talking about.
Dragging yourself out of your thoughts, you visibly relax at his kindness, shaking your head politely. āNo, itās fine! Thank you so much. Iāll be out of your hair soon enough,ā you state, ignoring the insanely intense gaze of Katsuki as you make your way down the nearby hallway, opening the first door to your right.
The room is empty besides a bed, a nightstand, a TV and a dresser, but it still has an inviting vibe to it. You had all of your boxes full of items in the main office, but youāre not walking all the way there tonight, so you might as well just get comfortable.
With a slightly irritated sigh, you plop down onto the oddly comforting mattress, inhaling deeply.
Youāll get this whole thing worked out in the morning. Youāll look back on this and laugh at how disappointed you were. Youāll have free will and a dorm all to yourself. For now, just get up. Take a shower. Eat. Then get some well deserved sleep, you set up your schedule internally, the tension in your body easing as you exhale. Right.
The feeling of warm water cascading down your back calms your nerves in remarkable ways, droplets of water flowing into your hair as you sigh contently.
Ah. Nothing like a nice, quiet, warm shower to calm you dā
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
What the hell is up with the interruptions today!?
Irritated once more, you step out of the shower, grabbing a spare white towel and wrapping it around your body as you open the door.
āWhat is it.ā You question drylyāonly to be met with Katsukiāwith no shirt on. His physique is on full display, a carving of pure discipline, abs, and contoured muscles. Tiny scars litter his chest and lower torso, the markings slipping into his black basketball shorts, barely hidden. Despite his earlier attitude, you canāt deny that heās quite a sight.
What? Get a hold of yourself. Heās Izukuās boyfriend, and you donāt even know him, you reprimand yourself internally, snapping yourself out of it.
ā..Iām sorry. Or whatever. For earlier. When I was being an ass. I was just agitated ācause you were just standing there like a damn deer in headlights,ā he mutters, sounding almost begrudging yet genuine as he crosses his arms over his chest, his gaze falling to your towel-clad body before shooting back up to your faceānot before lingering for a moment or two, though. You donāt notice.
Huh. Didnāt take him for an apology type, you acknowledge internally, before smiling softly. āā¦Thanks. Iām sorry too, I may have came off as weird. Did Izuku tell you to apologize?ā You question, raising an eyebrow as he quietly nods with a sheepish grunt. Figures. āPlus, I need my towel out of there.ā He admits, with a cocky, gleaming smile that makes your heart beat a bit faster for some reason.
āWell, I appreciate it nonetheless, I guess. Here,ā you shrug, handing him the black towel slung onto the towel rack as he gives you a lazy wave before closing the door.
Huh.
After slipping into a comfortable yet oversized white shirt and pink basketball shorts, you head to the kitchen, scanning the fridge before hearing a voice beside you:
āMe and Kacchan made spaghetti and meatballs if you want any.ā
You turn to your left, your gaze landing on a damp-haired Izuku, seemingly also fresh out of the shower as he smiles and gestures to pots on the stove. Your stomach rumbles silently at the sight.
āOh, thanks.ā
You and Izuku eat the heated-up spaghetti side by side, enjoying the silence before you speak up.
āKacchan. Is that your nickname for Katsuki?,ā you bring up, giving him a teasing yet curious glance as his ears burn slightly. Despite his visible embarrassment, he nods. āSorry! Itās a habit. Iāve called him that since we were kids, so itās normal for me,ā he laughs, rubbing the back of his neck. You smile softly. Cute.
Stop. Heās dating Katsuki, you reprimand yourself internally (again), wondering why the hell youāre even having these thoughts as you look at Izuku.
āItās fine. Just wondering. This is really good, by the way.ā You mention, gesturing to the plate of spaghetti in front of you as Izukuās eyes brighten immediately.
āReally!? I was trying a recipe I found with him, but I didnāt think it was going to actually go well! Kacchanās usually the one cookingāoh! You should taste my momās recipe! Itās the BEST thing Iāve ever eaten!ā He begins to ramble, yet, admittedly, you donāt really mind.
āMaybe you should make it for me some time. Iād be honored to try it.ā You suggest, which Izukuās smile widens at. āOf course! Iāll make it one of these days and save you a serving!ā He plans out-loud, his words flowing throughout the expanse of the kitchen for about an hour with ease.
Eventually, Katsuki comes out of the room, sitting next to you without a word as he smilesājust barelyāat Izukuās rambling. This was surprisingly normal. It feltā¦nice. Like it was always meant to happen.
Hm.
RING! RING! RING!
Your obnoxious alarm wakes you up instantly, your chest heaving as you sigh. Seriously, you need to change it. You tap the screen of your phone.
5:00.
Much better than yesterday. You stretch your arms over your head, ready to start the morning off on a better note.
This time around, since youāre not late today, you get to glide through your morning routine at your own pace.
You brush your teeth, floss, make your bed, do some light stretches, do your skincare, style your hair, and then you change into your college uniform.
āThey must get up super early..ā you mutter subconsciously, before making your way to the fridge. You open the fridge doorāto see a packed breakfastāscrambled eggs, fluffy golden-brown pancakes, and bacon. With a sticky note plastered onto it. Naturally, your curiosity guides you to pick it up, reading it.
āGood morning, [name]! Me and Kacchan made breakfast (he did most of the workā¦š ), and we decided to save you some before we left for morning training! Have a good day, hope we see you again, even if itās not in our dorm! ā Izuku and Kacchan Katsukiā.
Aw, thatās sweet, you smile softly, taking the breakfast along with the note as you walk out of the door.
Despite knowing the two of them for only one day, you might just miss them.
āWhat do you mean you canāt change my dorm?ā
āYou see, Ms. [last name], all of the other dorms present here at UA are accounted for, since we have limited space. I understand that you were assured that youād have a dorm to yourself, but that simply isnāt the case. Therefore, youāll be remaining in your current dorm with Mr. Midoriya and Mr. Bakugo,ā the principal explains calmly, pulling out a layout of all of the dorms at UA. And, as he explained, all of them are filled out with names already.
You sigh in acceptance, still chewing on a piece of your bacon as you kiss your fantasized loner dorm life goodbye.
āSooo..basically you and my two friends had a threesome?ā Mina remarks, blinking at you as your head SHOOTS towards her to give her the most bewildered look, your cheeks growing warm as you huff.
āThatās NOT what I said!ā You shoot back, embarrassed as Mina laughs, completely unaffected by your reaction.
āWell, have fun, girl! Something tells me youāre in for a long ride,ā she winks, the bell ringing as she grabs her things, beginning to walk towards the classroom door to exit.
You huff, rolling your eyes as you hoist your own bag over your shoulder, jogging after her. āIāll handle whatever happens. I always do,ā you state simply, shrugging her remark off like it was no big deal.
You had no idea what you were in for.
š¼ authorās note! ā i kept it relatively short and sweet for a somewhat smooth introduction, so think of this as almost a prologue! Iām here to deliver <33

The event was boring. Too many people believing theyāre important, too many reporters, too many footballers pretending they werenāt all half-drunk in their designer suits.
But Kaiser wasnāt paying attention to any of that. He was watching you.
Your dress hugged your body like it had been sewn on with black magic, clinging to every curve, every dip and the little slit up the thigh had him shifting in his seat all night. Youād barely touched your champagne and you were already flushed, tipsy, relaxed and warm. Every time you leaned into him, every time your hand grazed his knee or your fingers toyed with his he had to fight not to drag you off then and there.
You knew when he was looking at you like a starving man and you were a plate of heaven. You leaned in, brushing your lips against his ear. āYou keep staring at me like that, Iām going to start thinking youāve got something filthy on your mind.ā
He chuckled with his eyes half-lidded. āYouād be right.ā
Youād barely gotten the closet door shut before his mouth was on yours in a hungry, hot and desperate kiss. His hands palmed at your hips, your ass, lifting you so easily onto a stack of storage crates. The room was barely lit, narrow and crowded with coats and old boxes, but it didnāt matter. The only thing he could see was you. He kissed you like he was starving and like he needed you to breathe. His hands pushed up your dress, bunching the silky fabric around your waist and when he pulled back to look his eyes darkened.
āYou wore this with nothing underneath?ā he asked, his voice all heat and gravel.
āDidnāt want panty lines,ā you whispered coyly.
āSchatz,ā he cursed softly, brushing his fingers over your bare thigh. āYouāre gonna fucking kill me.ā
āThen die doing what you love.ā
You both laughed breathlessly and then his mouth was back on your skin, trailing from your lips to your jaw to the delicate line of your throat.
āWeāre really going to fuck here?ā you breathed, half-laughing, half-moan as his hands cupped your ass, lifting you into him. āWhat if someone sees us?ā
Kaiser grinned against your neck, teeth scraping lightly. āThen I hope they take notes.ā
āYouāre the worst.ā
āIām so much worse than you think,ā he murmured, kissing lower and biting gently where your shoulder met your neck. āAnd right now, liebling?ā he dropped to his knees. āI want it. I want to taste you.ā
Your breath caught. The air in the closet felt too hot and too thick. His clothes rustled as he slid your legs open, holding your thighs apart as he stared at your bare cunt.
āLet me take care of you,ā he said softly. āYouāve been teasing me all night.ā
His mouth met your core with no hesitation. Hot, wet, greedy. He moaned into you like the taste of you made him drunker than the whiskey ever could. His tongue moved slow at first, savoring and when you gasped and tangled your fingers in his hair, he groaned.
āTeasing me all night and thinking I wouldnāt drop to my knees the second I got you alone.ā he whispered into your soaked pussy. āScheiĆe, youāre evil.ā
You could barely breathe. The slick sounds, the warmth of his mouth, the soft featherlight brush of his long fingers stroking along your legs, it was too much. He buried his tongue deeper, then flattened it just right and your moan echoed off the closet walls.
You tugged his hair, thighs trembling. āMich, Iām gonnaā¦ā
āLet go for me,ā he said needy. āLet me feel you fall apart.ā
You did with his name on your lips and your body shaking around his mouth. He didnāt stop until you begged him to. When he finally stood, face flushed and lips wet, you barely had the strength to reach for his belt.
āYour turn,ā you whispered, dragging the leather free with shaky fingers.
He kissed you hard and deep. āTurn around,ā he rasped. āHands against the wall.ā
You obeyed, heart pounding, bracing yourself against the cold surface as his hands gripped your hips from behind. He bent low, brushing his lips up your spine.
āYou tell me to stop, I stop. You hear me?ā
āI donāt want you to stop.ā
He didnāt. He slid in slow, gasping at the tight heat, groaning against your shoulder as he filled you inch by inch. āFuck schatz, you feel like heaven.ā
He rocked into you, panting softly against your ear, one hand on your hip and the other gripping your thigh to hold you open. His cock stretching you so good. A soft burn whenever he bottomed out. A whimper whenever his swollen crown bullied your cervix.
āYouāre so good for me,ā he murmured. āSo fuckinā good. This pussyās gonna be the death of me.ā
You moaned his name, arching back into him, meeting every thrust with a matching desperation. His rhythm faltered when you clenched around him and he let out a strangled, broken sound.
āShit, Iām close. Baby, you gotta⦠fuck, say my name.ā
āMich.ā you cried. āMichael.ā
That was all it took. He spilled into you with a hoarse cry, hips jerking. You collapsed into his arms and he wrapped you in his arms, chest still heaving, pressing kisses to your temple, your shoulder, anywhere he could reach. āYouāre gonna get me in trouble,ā he whispered.
You laughed breathlessly. āYou started it.ā
āAnd Iāll finish it when we get home,ā he said, nuzzling your cheek. āBut for now, lieblingā¦ā he helped you fix your dress, combed his fingers through your hair, and whispered. āLetās make a run for it before Ness comes looking.ā
āYou like being this, huh?ā Saeās voice was rough as he held you by the jaw. His thumb smeared his last release across your lips like a filthy lipstick. His other hand was already between your legs again, teasing your overstimulated cunt. āJust my cumdump. Thatās what you called yourself, right?ā
You could only nod and whimper. Your legs were already trembling, thighs slick and twitching with need. He hadnāt let you cum in hours. That man had edged you over and over, then shove himself back inside and use you again. Filling your sweet cunt up just to watch it drip down your thighs before pushing it right back in with two lazy fingers.
āYou donāt need anything else,ā he murmured. āYou donāt need love or dates or sweet words. You just need this cock and my cum inside you.ā he slammed in again deeply, forcing you to feel all of him.
Your walls fluttered and squeezed in a desperate attempt, aching for the release he kept snatching away.
āThatās all youāre good for, huh?ā he breathed against your ear. āBeing warm and wet and open for me. A hole. My sweet little cumdump.ā
You moaned like it was a confession, because it was. You loved it. Loved the way he used you. Loved how obsessed he was. How he never let you clean up. How he whispered that no one else would ever touch you again.
āYouāre mine,ā he said darkly, his thrusts punishing now. āSay it.ā
āIām yours,ā you gasped, barely able to speak. āIām your cumdump. Only yours.ā
He groaned low in his chest, pushing you to the edge again, watching your body tighten and tremble. But just when you were about to fall apart, he stopped. āNot yet,ā he said with a smirk, grabbing your throat. āYou donāt get to cum until I want you to. Thatās what a good little dump does. You wait. You beg. You take it.ā
A few days later you were walking through the stadium of the u20 national team, making sure the organization ran smoothly. You checked something on your phone as a hand wrapped around your throat and Sae tilted your head back.
āNeed a break,ā he murmured. āSpread your legs.ā
You barely had time to protest as he spun you around and pinned you against the nearest wall. He pushed your skirt up and ripped your panties off like a tissue and then he shoved his cock inside. No teasing. No warning. Just thick, brutal thrusts that knocked the breath out of your lungs. Your legs wrapped around his waist while he used you like you belonged to him. You did. You absolutely did.
āThatās it,ā he panted into your ear as he slammed into you. āJust a tight little hole. My personal fucktoy. Donāt even have to ask anymore, your body knows what to do.ā
He was relentless, fucking you so hard the pictures on the wall rattled. One hand under your ass, the other forcing your head back so he could watch your face twist in blissed-out shock. No one dared interrupt, not when it was Itoshi Sae. Not when he was groaning quietly. Not when he held you in such a bruising grip that made you whimper.
āYou feel that?ā he murmured, slowing just enough to roll his hips and make you clench. āYouāre made for this. For me. For my cock. Gonna fill you up again. Let it drip down your thighs while you continue working.ā
You whined, nails clawing at his back. He was already close. You could feel it. His grip tightening, his breath going ragged, the sharp thrusts getting messier.
āTake it.ā
He shoved in deep and stilled, cock twitching as he filled you full, the heat of it spilling inside. Your head dropped to his shoulder, brain empty, body soaked in sweat and juices. But Sae just chuckled once. He pulled out with a filthy squelch, let your feet hit the ground, but you barely stood. You were dripping. You felt it running down your thighs, his cum thick and warm and claiming you.
He tucked himself back into his pants like it was nothing, āDonāt clean up. Let everyone see what you are.ā
Sae never bothered knocking on your office. He hustled appeared and grabbed you by the hair. With your hair in his fist he dragged you down to your knees.
āOpen that mouth,ā he said, already tugging his cock free. āItās been two hours. You must be starving.ā
You moaned around him before your brain caught up, cheeks bulging as he shoved his cock in deep. Unbothered by your gagging. He loved when your makeup smeared. When your eyes watered and your throat clenched around him like it missed him.
āFuck, youāre perfect,ā he groaned, fingers tightening in your hair. āMy dirty little cumdump. Just a hole I can fuck anytime I want.ā
And he did. Hallways, in the middle of the field after everyone was gone, sometimes at your home. Heād bend you over with your panties stuffed in your mouth, slam into you while you sobbed and begged for mercy you never got.
This time he yanked you up, flipped you around and bent you over the desk. No prep or lube, only spit and raw need. He shoved in like he owned you. Heād branded you with his cock so many times your body opened for him automatically. You moaned, brain slipping out of reach as he fucked you hard and filthy.
Each thrust slammed into your g-spot, intensifying the pleasure too sharp. You were drooling and barely conscious at this point. All you could think about was Sae and his cock stretching you wide.
He grabbed your throat, leaned down to whisper in your ear. āGonna stuff you full again,ā he said molten. āAlready leaked out the last two loads. Canāt waste a single drop.ā
Your pussy fluttered like it wanted to be used.
āTell me what you are.ā
You gasped, āY-your cumdump.ā
āLouder.ā
āIām your cumdump!ā you sobbed loudly.
āGood girl.ā
He slammed in deep. Hips jerking as he filled you again with hot, thick, endless mess. Your cry mixed to his deep groan. You were pushed to the brink, the stretch and pressure too much, too perfect. His cum dripped down your thighs the second he pulled out, but he didnāt let it fall far.
No.
He shoved two fingers in, pushed it back up. He groaned again at the sight of your messy cunt swallowing his spend like it was made for it. Then he snapped a photo with his phone.
āFor another time,ā he said flatly, tucking himself back in. āWhen Iām jerking off on an away-game.ā
You collapsed onto the desk, dazed, used and aching, and then the door creaked open. Sae didnāt even flinch, only looked over his shoulder.
āSheās mine,ā he said, like it explained everything. āAnd she likes being ruined.ā
Aiku shouldnāt have walked in, he knew that. But he had and now he couldnāt get it out of his head. The way your back arched, the way Sae held your throat and the obscene slick sounds echoing in the small office like it was something out of a porn. Youād been wrecked and dripping. You didnāt even flinch when Sae snapped a picture of his cum leaking out of you. You looked proud of it.
So yeah, Aiku had ideas. The next day when Sae was busy with interviews and you were alone, bent over your phone reading a text, Aiku saw an opening.
āHey,ā he said all flirty. āDidnāt expect you to be so down for a quick fuck like that.ā
You blinked. āWhat?ā
āCāmon,ā he chuckled, stepping closer. āIām not Itoshi, but I can make you feel good. You were so hot yesterday. Bet youāre always wet like that, huh?ā
His hand brushed your hip, fingers sliding dangerously close to your ass.
You stepped back and whispered, āDonāt touch me.ā
He raised his hands like it was a joke. āRelax. I just thoughtāā
āYou thought wrong,ā you snapped, walking away before your heart gave out, but it stayed with you.
It clung to you. The way Aiku looked at you, like you were free-use. Like being Saeās cum dump meant you were anyoneās. You didnāt tell Sae. You couldnāt.
What if he agreed? What if the thought of sharing you with others turned him on? What if he got bored of you? What if you ruined it?
So you stayed quiet and days later, when Sae slipped behind you in the hall, arms wrapping around your waist to pull you into his chest like he sometimes did - you flinched. You flinched like it wasnāt him and instantly Sae froze.
āHey,ā he said seriously. āWhat was that?ā
You shook your head too fast. āNothing. You just surprised meāā
āYou donāt get surprised,ā he said, stepping in front of you now to scan your face. āYou always know when itās me. You melt when itās me.ā
You looked away. āIām just tired.ā
But Sae didnāt buy it, not for a second. His fingers brushed your jaw, trying to be gentle. āDid someone touch you?ā
Your silence was louder than any answer.
āWho?ā
Your lips trembled. āIt wasnāt like thatāhe justāhe saw us and thought I was⦠easy.ā
Saeās pupils narrowed and his jaw ticked once, then twice. āWho?ā
You whispered, āAiku.ā
Sae was gone before you could stop him.
He found Aiku in one of the gyms. All casual, sipping on his protein shake like he hadnāt crossed a LINE so deep he was practically buried in Saeās shit list.
āHey, Itoshi,ā Aiku called, half a smirk on his lips. Sae didnāt respond as he stepped up to him, the air around them downright cracking with tension.
Aikuās smirk dropped and he tensed. āWhoa, whatās going onāā
Sae was in front of him before he could finish the sentence, hand clamped tight around his throat. He slammed him hard against the wall. āYou touched her?ā
Aiku choked. āWhatāā
āYou touched whatās mine?ā Sae leaned in, his eyes filled with rare furry. āYou looked at her like she was a free-use toy after watching me stuff her full and then you put your hands on her?ā
āItoshi, fuck⦠okay, back upāā
āI donāt back up.ā Sae squeezed harder. āDo you know what ID do to anyone who breathed wrong in her direction?ā
Aiku gasped, face reddening.
Sae leaned closer, voice dropping into something cold and hollow. āYou think sheās just some slut I use? That sheās available to anyone just because I fuck her in the hallway? Thatās your mistake. She isnāt some hole I use. Sheās mine. Sheās sacred. Sheās the only thing that keeps me from losing myself and you dared to touch her?ā
Sae dropped him and Aiku hit the ground hard, coughing and clutching his throat. Sae stood over him, shoving his hands in his pockets, eyes blazing.
āYou donāt touch her. You donāt look at her. You donāt even think about her unless you want your name scraped off a stone.ā he crouched beside him, head tilted like a wolf circling a wounded animal. āNext time I even feel you near her, Iāll peel the skin off your face before you know youāre dead.ā
He stood, dusted off his pants and walked away. No one dared stopping him, because they felt what he was. What she meant to him.
Itoshi Sae wasnāt in love, he was possessed.
In the meantime you went home. Too shaken up from what happened today. You tried to focus on the silence when Sae opened the door. He had used the spare key you once gave him, drunk off his cock.
You looked up and⦠it was a lot.
His expression was tight and neither of you spoke. And then he was stripping. His shoes came off first, followed by his jacket. His shirt. His belt. Pants. Boxers. Everything peeled away like he couldnāt stand a single inch between you.
You sat frozen, heart pounding. āSae?ā
He didnāt speak, not until he was completely naked. And then he crossed the room and sank to his knees in front of you, forehead pressed to your stomach.
āI shouldāve protected you,ā he murmured. āHe touched whatās mine.ā
Your fingers slipped into his hair. āYou scared me earlier.ā
āI know.ā he looked up, teal eyes bare and burning. āIāll never let you flinch again. I swear it.ā
He kissed you slowly and when he guided you back onto the bed it wasnāt rushed or rough. It was complete, because this time Sae needed all of you. He crawled over you and started stripping you naked until you were skin on skin. No clothing, no barrier, just feverish heat and want. Your legs parted and he lined himself up.
āWrap your legs around me,ā he whispered. āLet me all the way in. I need to feel every inch of you.ā
You did and when he pushed inside, it was differet. It was deeper and slower, a stretch that felt like he was carving his name into you. Your nails raked down his back as he rolled his hips, grinding into you like he wanted to fuse you together. To leave nothing untouched.
āYouāre not just mine,ā he groaned. āYouāre me. My reason. My peace. My obsession.ā
You whimpered as his thrusts grew desperate, needy. Like his soul was clawing its way into yours through every inch of skin.
His hands were everywhereāyour hips, your face, your throat, your thighsāholding you down, holding you close.
āI saw red,ā he panted. āWhen he said he touched you, I lost my mind. You donāt know what Iād do to someone who thinks they can take you.ā
āSaeāā
āIād kill for you.ā he buried himself to the Hilt, groaning deep in his chest as your walls fluttered around him, wet and full and trembling.
āIām gonna cum,ā he breathed. āGonna fill you again. So deep. I want you leaking for days. I want you dripping proof that no one else will ever touch you.ā
When he came, it was endless. Hot and thick, flooding you completely as he held you tight. His chest pressed to yours, lips ghosting against your cheek. No separation. No air. Just him, all of him. He didnāt pull out and roll away. He stayed inside you, wrapping his arms around your waist, holding your body against his like a lifeline.
āYouāre safe,ā he whispered. āAs long as I breathe, youāre mine.ā

word count: 3.7k
tags: mutual pining, fluff/comfort, humor, very gentlemanly make-out, reader is a fan of red riot, mention of ingenium thirst (truth)
a/n: kiri might be a twenty-seven year old pro hero in this fic but he is an absolute lovesick virgin who gets all his romantic cues from k-dramas. you cannot force me to think otherwise.
ThisĀ isĀ exactlyĀ the sort of night you needed.
TheĀ television,Ā low and quiet,Ā drones on as a deep-dive video on terrariums plays.Ā Your apartment isĀ clean āĀ dishes done, laundry foldedĀ andĀ trash taken out.Ā There's a new candleĀ burning on the coffeeĀ table,Ā and a Dynamight-themed, cucumber-melon eye mask plastered to your delightedly thoughtless expression.
It's supposed to be good for dark circles. ItĀ kindaĀ burns. You wonder if maybe that's, like, part of the gimmick. Y'know. Burns. Dynamight.Ā
Whatever.
No thoughts. Only the pleasure of turning everything off ā brain included ā for a perfect Friday night, complete with a mediocre glass of wine andĀ no pants.Ā
The oversized Red Riot t-shirt clinging to your frame is your favorite. You've had it since college ā it's a simple red tee withĀ REAL MEN RIOTĀ blazoned across the front, complete with your favorite hero popping a cheeky, shark-like grin and a double bicep. It's faded, stretched out, and broken in but it's also clean, and it smells like fabric softener and comfort.
This is theĀ life.Ā
Even Twitter is decidedly pretty calm tonight.Ā
You're scrolling through your timeline, snickering at your friends' recent thirst tweets over Ingenium's recent GQ Japan shoot when it starts.
Apparently,Ā your upstairs neighborsĀ areĀ home.
You thought those guys were out of town for the week.Ā
You've hadĀ beautiful, silent blissĀ for too long. The buck stops tonight, you suppose.
There's a shout overhead, then a scramble. Another voice joins the fray, and you swear you hear someone call someone else an idiot. You frown deeply as your eyes trail upwards. You wait, expecting more noise, but unsettling silence follows.
Your eye twitches.
Annoyance tips into a simmering rage.
The apartment complex isĀ old.Ā It's in decent shape, and the rent isn't half bad, but the wallsĀ areĀ thin. Your upstairs neighbors have been like this as long as you can remember: shouting, stomping, fighting... Some nights it's like being subjected to musical chairs, modern contemporary tap dance, and experimental sound drum solos all at once.Ā
Your first week was the worst. You dragged yourself up the back to knock on their door andĀ politely negotiate some silence ā but the man who opened the door was less than pleased to have his little dude-bro circle-jerk interrupted. He told you to fuck off, get bent, and leave him the fuck alone.Ā
Then, before he slammed the door in your face, he procured the sort of audacity only assholes possessed and laughed at your Red Riot shirt ā which is just plain unforgivable, frankly.Ā
"That guy's a fuckin' pussy."Ā
Sure, sure, sure,Ā right, right, right.
The interaction told you everything you needed to know about the two (or four?) men who lived upstairs. They were losers. And they were fuckin' annoying.Ā
And, as it turns out, manufacturingĀ bad batchesĀ of Trigger.Ā
You don't know that yet, butĀ truth be toldĀ it isn't exactly shocking.
Maybe it's your fault for picking an apartment complex in this part of Tokyo. This part of Arawaka Ward is rarely found on thoseĀ top-ten-neighborhoods-for-young-professionalsĀ lists, but it's affordable! And for day laborers like you, it worked. And hey, in recent months, the crime rate has gone down at least 5% ā which only quelled the anxieties of your mom and dad by about the same percentage.Ā
The candle on the coffee table flickers, and you're about to turn back to your slow Twitter feed when there'sĀ anotherĀ bang upstairs ā this one admittedly loud enough to send a wave through your wine beside you. You slip your eyes slowly to the glass, perched on a coaster, asĀ anotherĀ bang rattles your apartment. You reach to still the vibrating glass on the side table.Ā
That's when the shoutingĀ reallyĀ starts.
AndĀ it's when you notice the growing brightness of red and blue lights outside the window.
The apartment complex is pretty big. There are about sixty residents and six floors. You lucked out andĀ managed to snagone of the last available Western-facing studiosĀ withĀ a balcony ā which made for aĀ perfectĀ plant haven.Ā
It was a recent hobby, but one that quickly became your calm after the chaos of the day-to-day. Working for the city's Heroics Response Department left you picking up the physical pieces (literally) ofĀ aĀ lotĀ ofĀ lives. Your quirk might be the usual, run-of-the-mill strength-based ability, but itĀ comes in handy in the aftermath of property damage due to ā what the Nation's Safety Commission has labeled ā "villain-aggressed encounters".Ā
All in all, it's a good gig. It's physically demanding but rewarding. The pay is good, you've got union benefits, and you even have a per-diem schedule. It keeps you busy, and though it's not your father's construction business, it's a career path your parents are proud of.Ā
The slice-of-heaven balcony is bustling with plants. Some are happier than others, sure, but it'sĀ pretty.Ā You'veĀ admittedlyformed an emotional bond with those vines, leaves, and flowers.Ā
It's perfect.
It's alsoĀ perfectĀ for snooping whenever things like this go down in your complex,Ā orĀ the sister complex across the parking lot.Ā
The shouting match upstairs is escalating, and you take the moment to tip-toe towards your balcony door to peek outside. It looks like two or three police cruisers have pulled up outside. Maybe someone called for a noise complaint?Ā MaybeĀ the property manager was tired of dealing with those losers?
Cackling to yourself, and hoping for a vindicating show of revenge (NO ONE CALLS RED RIOT A PUSSY), you yank open your balcony door and slip outside just as the sound of a pot crashing meets your ears.
Then:
"Shit, shit, shitā"
There's someone on the balcony. That someone's boot is currently stuck in an empty terracotta pot you were saving for spring. Your eyes are wide as you watch the shadow leap to his other foot, lose his balance, and unceremoniously knock over yourĀ entire,Ā six-foot-tall, and well-treasuredĀ plant stand. You slap a hand over your mouth mid-shriek, hands flying toĀ try and saveĀ whatever you can.Ā
You fail.
Eijiro Kirishima freezes.
What the fuā
It takes a second.
Like, a full second. Maybe even two. Your brain can't make sense of the sight before you. Neither can his, really.Ā
There's a girl on this balcony. A pretty girl. Like,Ā megaĀ pretty. Like soft and warm andĀ cuteĀ and you smellĀ kindaĀ like vanilla ā and there's... You're wearing his merch. His merch and...Ā nothing else.Ā Nothing else but a Dynamight eye mask and a pair of fluffy socks.Ā
...Is this what it's like to fall in love at first sight?
Shit.
Red Riot is on your balcony.
TheĀ Red Riot.
Red Riot, theĀ hero in question, catches himself staring. His wide eyes openly wander over your figure (woah, okay, hello thighs), and the second he realizes it, he quickly snaps his eyes up to your face with a mortified expression. "Uh... hi!"
"...Hi...?"
Your expression is tied between shame, fear, and sheepishness as you blink once at him, then twice at theĀ messĀ of your hobby's destruction. There's dirt everywhere, a plant stand blocking the doorway, and carnage. Your precious babies have been murdered.Ā
By Red Riot.
And... Red Riot is on your balcony.Ā
You repeat: Red Riot is on your balcony.Ā
Abort mission, abort mission.
Your lips part, your mouth hangs open, and everyĀ singleĀ thought in your head seems to stutter. Kirishima winces as you look down dejectedly at your plants (or, what remains) before he speaks.
"I, uhā is it cool if I..." he points upwards, "Use your balcony?"Ā
You're speechless.
You draw your mouth shut and nod hurriedly.
"Thanks," he grins, giving you a thumbs up āĀ and a smile.Ā A toothy, cute, nervous smile,Ā "Lemme just... I gotta handle something. B-But, I'll be back. I'll help fix this mess ā just...Ā five minutes,Ā okay?"
It hits you suddenly that his voice sounds different from all those interviews you've watched. It's a little warmer, a little raspier, a little lessĀ heroic.Ā It'sĀ cute.Ā
Your brain is still having a hard time connecting the words coming out of his mouth to the scene before you ā like, yes frontal lobe, this is real. This is happening.
Red Riot is real and Red Riot is on your balcony.Ā
He's shockingly gentle when he finally frees his boot from your terracotta pot, setting it down withĀ purposefulĀ delicacy ā he even whispers 'please stay'Ā as he props it upright ā and then steps back to eye the balcony above yours like an athlete remembering a gameplan.Ā
He's trying to figure out the best wayĀ up.Ā
How he even got up here isĀ news to you.Ā
(It was Uravity, as it turns out. They've been patrolling together more in this Ward.)
Red Riot isĀ huge.Ā Like,Ā huge.Ā
Broad shoulders, rippling biceps, and long, fluffy crimson hair. It's daunting to realize how tall he is in person. The guy is a beast ā everyone knows it ā but his chivalrous nature is that thing that usually draws in his fans. It's no secret that Red Riot isĀ sweet.Ā He openly champions the need to be a good role model for men everywhere. Y'know, you can be strongĀ andĀ nice!
A sharp canine glints in your apartment's light as he pokes his tongue out and thinks for a second.Ā
Then, he settles on his plan.Ā
"You might wanna head inside," Red Riot says as he rolls his shoulders and bounces on the balls of his feet; he's readying up for a fight ā and you blink as theĀ beautifulĀ realization dawns on you, "This could get kinda loud."
Loud?
Oh my god.
Is he here for your upstairs neighbors?
Oh my god,Ā he is.Ā
Your jaw falls open as you bark out a laugh āĀ it'sĀ an incredulous rasp that sends you into a spiral of joy; you're not a vengeful person by any means but...
"They're gonna shit themselves," you grin, your eyes alight with pure delight and a spark of something that reminds Kirishima aĀ lotĀ little bit of Bakugo, "They called you aĀ pussyā"
Kirishima's brows shoot upwards as he pauses. He was about to jump and dig his hands into the underside of the balcony, but his quirk is stalling at your words. There's a roaring fire blazing in your eyes, one that screams retribution.Ā
It's...Ā comical.
You cackle again at him with a wide grin, hissing conspiratorily. "They made fun of my shirt!"
You point down at theĀ REAL MEN RIOTĀ tee with both hands, your face set in a look of vindicated glee. Then, the second realization of the night hits ā that you've got no pants on, and thatĀ stupid, goofyĀ Dynamight eye mask is still on your face. You make a soft sound of embarrassment and tug your shirt down lower, trying to cover up. He cannot see your underwear.Ā No.Ā No way, no fucking way. Without aĀ singleĀ word, you reach up, snatch the Dynamight eye mask off your face, and whip it off the balcony without a second thought.Ā
Slowly, Kirishima's face splits into a pointy grin.Ā
Holy shit, he's soĀ fuckingĀ hot.Ā
"Oh, man," Red Riot rumbles, his face cracking into a sharp, playful smirk, "That's real rude. I might haveĀ t'Ā teach these guys some manners."
Your smile returns, washing away the wobbly look of embarrassment sticking to your cheeks.Ā
Man, it sure is cute.
You areĀ really cute, Kirishima realizes.
"Right! And who callsĀ Red RiotĀ aĀ pussy?"Ā you counter excitedly, before reigning it in and awkwardly lowering your arms as you try to tug your shirt down to hide the tops of your thighs again. Your glee has stifled a littleĀ bit, but it only reaffirms Kirishima's duty toĀ wrap this all up.Ā
"Yea, that's, like, super misogynistic," he muses as his quirk kicks in and his hands flick into a hardened state. It'sĀ insaneto witnessĀ the wayĀ his large hands transform into weapons with a single breath. You can see the jagged extension of his quirk working up his large arms, too, "Lemme just have a lil' word with these boys, alright? Head on inside, I'll be back in a sec'."
Then, with graceful ease, he hops upwards with a littleĀ hupĀ before latching to the base of the upstairs neighbor's balcony.Ā
It's insane how effortless it is for him to haul himself up the balcony, his hands dug into the cement. His upper body strength isĀ insane.Ā He's scaling the terrace, alternating his grip. He disappears into the dark, swinging his body upwards and reaching his destination.
You tamp down your aweĀ in favor of heedingĀ his directions:Ā head inside.
You're closing the balcony door when you hear Red Riot's voice greet the unexpecting gaggle.
"Hey, fellas! I heard you guys are some super fans. Got anything you want me to sign?"
You snicker to yourself as you hear the beginning of a fight.Ā
Again, as it turns out, the guys upstairs sucked. Like, mega sucked. They'd been responsible for several recent Trigger overdoses; Uravity and Red Riot were working with law enforcement to track the small-time manufacturers ā which explains why they'd been so quiet lately. They suspected someone was on their tail.Ā
As Red Riot scaled their balcony, law enforcement waited to break down their door. They arrested the four men (Seriously? Four? InĀ thatĀ studio?) without much incident ā however, you did spy a broken nose on one of them as they were hauled into the back of the awaiting cruisers.Ā
Sweet, sweet revenge.Ā
By the time your neighbors are carted off, you've shimmed into some sweats and made a half-assed attempt to lookĀ sort ofpresentable, all while firing off a few contextually incomprehensible texts into your group chat.
red riotĀ has seen me in my underwear
wtf doĀ i doĀ know
kiss him?
You'reĀ reallyĀ weighing your options when there's a knock on your balcony entry. It's gentle and cordial. You turn, head snapping, and spy that trademarked (and a dozen times retweeted) smile through the glass. He waves.Ā
Your heart leaps into your throat. You try to remember to breathe as you shuffle over and tug the balcony door open. The night air is cool.
Be like the night air.
Stay cool.
Eijiro feels so silly. And guilty. And honestly?Ā ReallyĀ into you.Ā
You're still wearing that shirt ā the one with his face on it. YouĀ haveĀ opted toĀ put onĀ pants, but Kirishima still reminds himself to keep his eyes on your face. No ogling. That's not veryĀ gentlemanly.Ā
There's a beat of awkward silence as the two of you wait for the other to speak, and Kirishima is the one to break it with aĀ raspyĀ laugh.
"I wanted to apologize about your plants," a large hand moves to rub the back of his neck, "I cleaned up as best I could. I'mĀ really,Ā reallyĀ sorry."
You wave him off, leaning into the doorframe. "No, it's okay! It's nothing I can't... fix. I think?"
You look beyond him to the catastrophic mess of plant matter. He must have tried tidying up while you rattled off the rapid-fire texts in the group chat.Ā
Red Riot's face warbles into something tied between mortification and guilt. "Please forgive me."
"Seriously!" you cry, waving your hands as you try toĀ placateĀ his dejected expression, "Please don't feel bad. It's a fair trade,Ā y'know. Those guys upstairs were, like, the worst."
"I can only imagine," Eijiro concedes, frowning a little, "They didn't give you too much trouble, did they?"
You shake your head and laugh a little, "Aside from insulting my favorite hero to my face? Not really."
Kirishima can feel his face get a little hot. He shifts from boot to boot. His smile is a littleĀ woozy. "So... you're a fan?"
You don't need to tell him the underwear you have on matches the shirt ā red, with an embroidered RR on the front. You keep that to yourself. YouĀ justĀ nod happily.
"Really?" his grin cracks into something so excitable it makes your entire stomach flip, "I don't meetĀ a lottaĀ fans who are..."
His words drift off.
He's staring at your eyes. You're so... soft.Ā Warm.Ā Your eyes are swirling with quiet, astonished adoration and it's making Kirishima feel like he's floating.Ā
"Who are...?" your brow quirks as you lean deeper into the doorframe, trying to coax out the rest of the sentence.
"Gorgeous," he breathes, his posture relaxingĀ a littleĀ as he soaks in your expression.
It's like getting sucker punched to the sternum.
All the wind rushed out of your lungs.
The soft moment only lasts a beat, because suddenly Red Riot's face screws up and he waves his hands hurriedly. "Wait, no. Hold on, I mean āĀ allĀ of my fans are gorgeous, because, uh, they're my fans and I love them, right? It's not like they'reĀ notĀ gorgeous, I just ā I'm... I... My fans are, like, usuallyĀ dudes?Ā A-AndĀ that'sĀ totallyĀ cool because dudes can be gorgeous, too, y'know? Butā"
You're laughing.
Kirishima is realizing he was not paying enough attention in his agency's PR training last month and you're laughing.
"I get it," you giggle, crossing your arms and grinning up at him, "I mean, IĀ definitelyĀ don't think I'm gorgeous butā"
"You are," he assures firmly, his expression serious.
Are you dead?
Are you,Ā like,Ā literally ascending to a higher plane right now?
There's no fucking way this is happening.Ā
Your lips part inĀ quietĀ shock as you bite back a smile that threatens to cramp up your cheeks. Kirishima eats it up, his posture perking up atĀ the wayĀ you seem to melt at his compliment. His smile is boyish ā almostĀ dizzy.Ā
You duck a bashful look towards the tiled floor of the balcony, notĀ reallyĀ giving a singular shit that your beloved monstera has been stomped on.
Kirishima clears his throat, then ā in a move heĀ totallyĀ hasn't swooned over in those K-dramas he's secretly obsessed with, that'd be ridiculous ā he props his arm up against your door and leans over you. Your faces are close in the warm light of the balcony.Ā
Your eyes stutter up his abdomen, chest, jaw, lips, and eyes. Kirishima notices. It'sĀ really,Ā reallyĀ cute.
"Are you, uh... Are you seeing anyone?"Ā
Of course,Ā Red Riot would ask that. Red Riot, the king of chivalry. How is something like that so endearing? For the tenth time tonight, he makes your stomach flip.
You shake your headĀ no, a little too stunned to speak.
"Cool," Eijiro musters over a shake of nerves, "Cool. Okay. Uh, then would it... would it be okay if I bought you some new plants?"
You nod, swallowed entirely by his shadow. He'sĀ so fucking huge.Ā
"AndĀ if I took you to dinner?"Ā
Another nod.
"...And āĀ shit.Ā You're, like,Ā so cute,"Ā the smooth persona he's put on melts a little as his eyes roam your face; you feel so... shy,Ā "I was gonna ask you something else but..."
"My number?" you offer, fiddling with the hem of your shirt as you maintain eye contact.Ā
Is it hot? You're sweating. Is he sweating?Ā He'sĀ hot.Ā
Eijiro nods, absolutely mesmerized by the way you tug your lip between your teeth. "That. Yea."
He has to fight back the urge to bite his knuckle when you turn away and move towards your kitchen to snag your phone. Kirishima stays put, allowing himselfĀ oneĀ moment of ogling. When you turn around, he's clearing his throat and crossing a boot over his ankle.Ā
He's still leaning up against the doorway.
"Here," you slip him the phone.
Eiijiro takes it ā then hesitates for a second.
"...You're not gonna leak my number, are you?"
You have to laugh. You rub your cheek and shake your head before crossing your arms and looking up at him. "If you think I'm going to doĀ anythingĀ to fumble this, you'reĀ wrong."Ā
Fumble this? Fumble him? He's the one that is at risk of fumbling, are you serious?
Eijiro barks out a surprised laugh as he enters his number, shoots a quick text his way then ignores the buzz in his back pocket. He hands your phone back and tries soĀ fucking hardĀ to ignore the way your fingers brush his.Ā
He got your number.
Holy shit, he got your number.
"Hey, Red Riot?"
He blinks down at you. "Y-Yea?"
You gesture for him to come closer, and he obeys easily ā he bends a bit at the waist, his hair falling along his shoulders as he smiles down at youĀ inĀ the threshold of your apartment.
"Is everythingĀ alriā?"
You pop a chaste kiss against his cheek.Ā
Or,Ā try.Ā
As you hop up onto your tippy toes to kiss his cheek, Eijiro is turning his head at the sound of Urvaity calling his name simultaneously. Trajectory failed, and now it's lips and lips instead of lips onĀ cheekĀ āĀ andĀ honestly? He owes Ochaco one for this.Ā
Red RiotĀ melts āĀ actually, truly,Ā genuinelyĀ melts. His posture slumps down as you let out a shocked littleĀ sound of apology. But, Eijiro doesn't mind, andĀ fuck,Ā neither do you ā because one hand braces against the doorframe above your head while his other hand is suddenly on your waist. He steadies himself, and damn.Ā Damn.Ā
He breaks away whenĀ UravityĀ calls his name again. Kirishima is breathless and blushing, and your knees feel like jello.Ā
"I... Uh, I gotta goā"
"Yea, totally," you breathe, swallowing down the burn of unfiltered attraction, "Sorry, I was trying to kiss your cheekā"
Another call of his name. Red Riot curses softly before hollering aĀ 'COMING!'Ā over his shoulder, out past theĀ edge of the balcony.Ā
When he turns back, he's fast to sweep you into another kiss ā this one hotter than before. This one draws you into his chest, sending your hands colliding with the hot skin of his chest. There's muscle and scars andĀ heatĀ beneath your fingertips. His hand curls around your lower back, and you nearlyĀ moan.Ā
He peels himself away with an apologetic look as he backs towards the edge of the balcony. "I gotta go ā I'll text you once patrol is over. Is that okay? I'm serious about the plants.Ā And dinner."Ā
All you can do is nod.
Eijiro isĀ kindaĀ proud of himself for stunning youĀ stupidĀ with that kiss.
ovulation week: pillow versus nanami (Ė¶Ė įµ Ė˶)
cw: nsfw
every time you were ovulating, nanami knew. he was so used to picking up your little habits, whether it was the exact time you woke up in the morning or the way you liked your coffee, so naturally he picked up those too.
this time, it was more obvious. you found yourself underneath him after he caught you slotting a pillow in between your thighs.
ākento,ā you whined. you were squirming underneath him and very impatient. he took his time trailing kisses down your body, from your neck down, whispering sweet nothings into your skin. you loved your husband with all your heart, but you werenāt in the mood for that at a time like this. you were growing needier by the minute, and you were sure he didnāt miss the way you rubbed your thighs together absentmindedly in anticipation.
he paused and lifted his head slightly. āyes sweetheart?ā
you reached out your hand and tugged on his waistband. āplease.ā you pleaded. your wide eyes told him everything he needed to know. he undressed the two of you before pressing a kiss on your cheek.
āweāre gonna go slow at first so you can adjust, okay?ā
you nodded and he pressed his tip to your entrance. he slowly entered you, rubbing small circles on your clit. you loved how thick your husband was, the way he stretched you out made you let out a small gasp. you clenched around him once he fully bottomed out, causing him to let out a low groan.
āsweetheart, if you keep that up, iām not going to last.ā he whispered softly.
as promised, he moved in and out of you slowly. he felt good, the delicious stretch sent a shiver down your spine. soft lips ghosted over your chest and neck. his flushed hips moved against yours at a steady pace. your warm walls hugged him tight, making him mutter curses under his breath.
āso tight,ā he murmured. āmy pretty girl is taking me so well.ā your cunt fluttered at his words and you moaned into the pillow. you gripped his bicep, clutching it tightly as he set a faster pace. with each thrust, he buried you to the hilt, reaching that sweet spot deep inside of you.
āken, you feel sososo good.ā you babbled, the only thing on your mind being the addictive way his cock nudged against your velvet walls. the room smelled like a mixture of sex and his subtle cologne, and the only sound that filled the room was skin slapping skin.
nanami rested a hand over your stomach. āfeel that?ā your husband pressed down lightly on your stomach bulge. you tilted your head slightly and watched the way his dick pumped in and out of you with ease.
āyes!ā you cried out. you clenched around him again, the sight alone turning you on more.
ābetter than that pillow, hm?ā you whined softly, slightly embarrassed. of course he was bigger better than a pillow. a pillow would leave you horny with no relief. a pillow could never stretch you out like this and reach your g spot, let alone whisper sweet, yet filthy things into your ear as it absolutely ruins you.
only your husband could do that.
before you were about to come, nanami knew. "come for me my love. wanna feel you squeezing tight around me,ā he murmered. at that, the orgasm washed over you. your thighs shook and you moaned into his name, milking his dick of everything it had. and he gave it to all to you. he emptied his seed deep inside your pussy, filling you up before collapsing on your chest with a soft groan. his lips brushed your ear as he whispered in your ear.
āremember, husband beats pillow in every universe.ā
the words slip out of your mouth in a breathy moan, right as nagi bottoms out inside you, his thick cock stretching you so full your train of thoughts paused momentarily.
he had you pinned beneath him on the messy bed, your legs wrapped high around his waist, ankles locked at the small of his back.
his thrusts have been deep and rhythmic, the kind that make your toes curl and your head spin, but now he froze mid thrust, his hips stuttering to a halt with his length buried to the hilt.
you feel his cock twitch inside you at the sudden stop, the heavy weight of him pressing against that perfect spot that makes your walls flutter. his white hair is damp with sweat, as he stares down at you like you just spoke in another language. the room is quiet except for the sound of your mingled breathing and the faint creak of the bed.
"...huh?" nagi blinks, a confused expression crossing his face as he wonders if he had mistaken. "did you...say something? about fighting?" he shifts his hips experimentally, just a shallow roll that drags his cock along your walls and pulls a whimper from your throat.
"thought i misheard. why're you asking that right now? when i'm y'know...all the way in?"
you bite your lip, fighting a grin even as heat floods your cheeks and your cunt clenches around him involuntarily. it's ridiculous, yeah. but that's the point.
your boyfriend was always so effortlessly cool and detachedāeven when fucking you he barely seemed to lose composure, hence your reason for asking ridiculous questions to catch him off guard.
"i did," you murmur, rolling your hips up to take him deeper, encouraging him to move again. your hands slide up his bare chest, nails grazing his skin. "would you though? fight someone for me?"
your boyfriend exhales through his nose, a mix of amusement and exasperation, but he starts moving againāslow, grinding thrusts that make your breath hitch. "yeah...sure i'd fight 'em i guess...if it's for you." his hand slides down to grip your thigh, hitching it higher as he leans in closer, lips brushing your ear.
"but do you need to ask this..? while im fucking you baby?"
you laughed at his words but it turns into a gasp when he hits that sweet spot again, perfectly so. the stretch of him is so good, so overwhelming. he was so long and girthy, filling every inch of you while his pelvis grinds against your clit with each snap of his hips.
"mmm fuck...but what if it's someone strong? like uhmm...would you fight reo for me?"
that makes him frown. his best friend? really? his cock throbs inside you as he pulls back just enough to look at your face, eyebrows furrowed in that adorable confused look.
"my reo?" he asks, sounding genuinely baffled, but he keeps his steady pace, causing the bed frame to creak with each push. "are you really thinking about him?"
you shake your head, grinning up at him even as pleasure coils tighter in your belly. your fingers thread into his hair, tugging lightly to pull him closer. "hypothetically nagi..not literally. if reo and i had some big fight or something. would fight him for me..? or like be on his side"
nagi huffs in disbelief, he buries his face in the crook of your neck, nipping at the skin there before sucking a mark. his thrusts get a little harder, like the absurdity of you askijg about his best friend was actually turning him on. "i'd pick you. now stop these silly question baby."
he punctuates his words with a deep roll of his hips, grinding right against your sweet spot causing your back to arch, a moan slipping from you.
youe legs tightening around him as warmth spreads through you. god, he's so deep like thisāevery inch of his cock dragging in and out against your walls, the lewd wet sounds filling the room. but you can't resist it, so you ask:
"what about isagi? wouldāhah you fight isagi for me?"
nagi actually stops this time, lifting his head to stare at you with wide eyes. his cock is still buried inside you, pulsing hot and heavy. his eyes darken at your words.
"isagi? now you're bringing up isagi? while my dick is literally inside you?" one of his hands comes up to cup your face, thumb brushing your bottom lip. "you're such a handful aren't you? yeah id fight him. now stop talking about other men when I'm inside you.."
you giggle at his pout, pulling him down for a kiss your tongue sliding against him as he begins fucking you harder this time. he was clearly jealous but he kept quiet. you rock your hips up to meet his thrusts, chasing the building pressure in your stomach.
nagi groans into your mouth, the sound vibrating through you. "you're weird." he says against your lip, the sound of skin slapping against each other mixing with your moans and his low grunts filled the roo. "i'm the one fucking you yeah? say my name."
you cling to him, nails digging into his back as your orgasm approaches. "nagi... fuck, right there..I love u.?"
he shifts angles as he heard your words, hitting that spot relentlessly inside you as one hand slipped between you to rub tight circles over your clit. "good girl, i love you more..."
"you're all mine. cum for me baby."
the combination of his words, his cock pounding into you and those skilled fingers sends you over the edge fast. you cry out his name, walls pulsing tight around him as pleasure crashes through you.
nagi follows not long after, groaning your name as he spills deep inside, hips stuttering through it until he's spent and collapsed on top of you.
for a minute, it's just heavy breathing and the warmth of him still buried in you, softening slowly. then he rolls off to the side, pulling you against his chest with one arm like it's the most natural thing in the world. his fingers trace lazy patterns on your back.
"so..what made you ask that silly question?" he asks, looking at you with amuser eyes.
you snuggle closer, pressing a kiss to his collarbone with a satisfied little hum. "mmm..a tiktok video i saw.."
nagi scoffs, a smile finding his face regardless. "im gonna take that phone of yours away you know?"

a/n: i recently finished mha so bare with me, i will be writing alot about the boys, i miss them so bad fml :/
š¤ Izuku was losing his mind. He never expected college would torture him like thisā forcing him to live with you. The sweetest, most oblivious little tease heād ever met.
His hand moved slowly up and down his thick cock, thumb smearing the steady leak of precum over the flushed head. A low, shaky breath left his lips as he leaned back against the headboard, eyes squeezed shut, sweatpants bunched around his thighs.
Through the thin wall separating your rooms, he could hear you.
Soft, frustrated whines. The wet, filthy sound of your fingers desperately pumping into your pussy. You sounded so close to tears, like youād cry if you couldnāt cum soon.
āFuckā¦ā he whispered, tightening his grip.
He knew it was wrong. He knew he shouldnāt be jerking off to the sound of his roommate touching herself. But how could he stop? Not when you pranced around the dorm in those tiny sleep shorts that barely covered your ass. Not when your nipples poked through those thin tops every morning. Not when you got drunk and crawled into his lap, whining about how much you missed him, only to act like nothing happened when you sobered up.
His hand moved faster, the slick fap fap fap growing louder as he imagined you spread open on your bed, fingers buried deep inside that pretty cunt.
Then he heard it.
A broken little whimper of his name.
āIzukuā¦ā
His hips jerked hard as thick ropes of cum spilled over his fist, painting his abs and chest. He bit down on his lip to keep from groaning your name loud enough for you to hear.

a/n: this was kind of a request? anyways we know sero is latino if you dont agree die. dk if i like this tho -_-
š¤ āSero, Iām actually going to die right now,ā you whined, clutching his arm dramatically as you walked down the long red carpet. The annual gala felt endless under the barrage of flashing cameras and curious eyes.
Your nude corset dress hugged every curve like liquid silk, the fabric shimmering with a wet-look sheen that flowed beautifully with each step. Sero complemented you perfectly in his tailored suit with matching tones and a subtle corset-style vest that sharpened his lean pro-hero build. But comfort? Nonexistent. One of the hooks kept digging into your back, your stomach was empty and growling, and all you could think about was ditching this for sweats, ice cream, and Netflix on the couch.
Sero glanced down at you with a low chuckle, his hand warm and steady against the small of your back. āEasy there. Weāve only got two hours. Just flash that pretty smile for the cameras and weāll be out of here.ā
You rolled your eyes, though the soft lilt in his voice sent a familiar warmth fluttering through your stomach. āYou should fire my stylist. Or sue her. I seriously canāt breathe in this thing, Sero!ā
You gave a tiny, discreet stomp of your heel. To everyone else you looked flawlessāyears of PR training made sure of that. But with him? You could be as dramatic as you wanted.
He paused to greet another pro hero with a quick, easy handshake and a few friendly words, then turned back to you. āYouāve had the same stylist for years, babe. Weāre not burning that bridge tonight,ā he said, pressing a quick kiss to your cheek as you huffed.
The photo wall was next. Bright flashes lit up your skin as you posed beside himāchin tilted, body angled just right, the perfect influencer couple. Between shots you kept leaning in with quiet complaints, and Sero just listened with that easy, amused smile. He was never annoyed with you. Not really. His dramatic little girlfriend kept life interesting.
He knew exactly what you needed.
It wasnāt long before he was guiding you away from the crowd, slipping into a side hallway and pulling you into a spacious bathroom stall. The second the lock clicked, his fingers worked the corset hooks with careful patience, loosening the fabric until you could finally draw a proper breath.
āBetter?ā he asked, voice low and soft. He nuzzled his nose against your cheek, trailing gentle kisses along your jawline.
You barely managed a nod before he shrugged off his suit jacket, revealing the sleeveless dress shirt that showed off his toned arms. He dropped to his knees on the tiled floor, lifting one of your legs over his shoulder and disappearing beneath the flowing layers of your dress.
Your eyes widen. āWhat if someone walks in?ā you whispered, nerves mixing with excitement. You didnāt stop himādeep down, this was exactly what youād been craving all night.
āShh⦠just relax,ā he murmured. His tongue swiped slow and hot over your thong, pulling a needy whine from your throat. He chuckled softly against you. āGotta stay quiet, yeah?ā
He hooked the fabric aside and dragged his tongue through your folds properlyālong, deliberate strokes that made your thighs tremble. He licked and sucked at your clit with focused hunger, groaning quietly into your heat like he couldnāt get enough. The wet sounds of his mouth against your pussy filled the small stall, each lap sending sparks of pleasure racing up your spine.
Your hips bucked against his face. āS-Seroāā
He pulled back just enough to kiss your inner thigh, lips glossy with your slick. āYouāre so sensitive tonight,ā he teased lightly, voice warm with affection. Then he dove back in, sucking your clit between his lips while his tongue worked you relentlessly. Your legs shook harder around his head, pleasure building thick and heavy in your core.
When he finally stood, he kissed you deeply, letting you taste yourself on his tongue. āSo fuckinā pretty like this,ā he groaned, pressing his obvious hardness against your thigh. āI know youāre irritated. Lemme me take care of you mami.ā
He hiked one of your legs up again. Two thick fingers slid deep into your soaked cunt, curling perfectly against that sensitive spot inside you. Your head fell back against the stall wall with a loud, breathy whine as intense pleasure flooded your body.
He nipped and sucked along your neck, careful not to leave visible marks, while his fingers pumped steadily. The lewd, wet squelching of your pussy around his digits echoed softly. You reached for his wrist instinctively, trying to slow the overwhelming rhythm as your back arched sharply.
āAh ah, no touching,ā he said with a playful grin. In the next second, his signature tape wrapped around your wrists, securing them firmly to the wall above your head.
He curled his fingers harder, stroking that perfect spot with devastating precision. Just as the pressure started to crest, the bathroom door opened. Two sets of footsteps entered, voices chatting casually.
Your eyes widened in panic and you tugged at the tape, but Sero didnāt stop. He slowed his thrusts into deep, grinding rolls that kept constant, delicious pressure on your g-spot. āThereās people,ā you whispered desperately, pouting.
āStay quiet for me,ā he breathed against your ear, eyes sparkling with that slightly mischievous glint. His fingers never stopped their slow torture, rubbing and pressing exactly where you needed it. Your cunt clenched and drooled around him, thighs trembling violently as you fought to hold back.
Your eyes grew glassy with the effort. Sero noticed and slipped two fingers past your lips. You sucked them greedily, drool slipping down your chin as you tried to muffle every sound. The strangers kept talking, completely unaware, while pleasure coiled tighter and tighter inside you.
āCāmon⦠hold it just a little longer,ā he cooed softly, grinding his fingers deep. āYouāre doing so good.ā
The moment the door clicked shut behind them, he pulled his fingers from your mouth. āLet it out baby.ā
His pace turned faster, fingers thrusting hard and deep, curling relentlessly against your g-spot. Pleasure crashed over you in heavy waves, the wet sounds obscene and loud in the small space.
āMāgonna cumā Sero, Iāmāā you whined, head lolling back, breath coming in shaky gasps.
āThatās it, baby. Cum for me,ā he encouraged, voice low and steady. āLet go. Iāve got you.ā
You shattered hard, creaming around his fingers with a broken moan. Your thighs shook uncontrollably as he worked you through every pulsing wave, drawing out the orgasm until your vision blurred and your body felt boneless against the wall. Slick dripped down his hand and your thighs, the aftershocks leaving you trembling and breathless.
He pressed soft kisses to your neck and shoulder as you came down, murmuring gentle praise. āThere we go⦠good girl.ā
Needless to say, you didnāt make it anywhere close to the full two hours at the gala.
ᣠįį« āā± THE FRATBOYS | a bakudeku series
cw: fratboy bakudeku x fem! reader, college au, angst, fighting, nerdy shy innocent!reader, miscommunication, lmk if i missed anythingggg
pt. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
ā¾ Two weeks had passed since you last spoke to Izuku.
After youād nervously mentioned the his fangirls that cornered you, heād left you on seen. No reply. No explanation. You still saw him posting, parties, soccer games, late nights out with his friends, but he hadnāt reached out. And you hadnāt seen him on campus either.
Youād be lying if you said it didnāt bother you. You hated that it bothered you, You didnt even know if you actually liked him or if you were loosing it because for the first time someone gave you attention.
There was an uneasy ache in your chest every time you thought about him. You felt strangely drawn to him, even though you knew better. You kept reminding yourself: Heās a frat boy. This is what they do. They make you feel special, then disappear the second things stop being easy. Besides⦠nothing had really gotten serious between you two anyway.
Right?
To be fair all that had happened between you two was two short conversations, both in which you tried to run away, so why did you feel this way?
What was weirder was Katsuki.
Every corner you turned lately, he seemed to be there. At first you thought it was coincidence. Now you were starting to doubt it. You also hadnāt seen that girl who cornered you in the hallway anymore. It was like sheād vanished.
At least once a day Katsuki spoke to you, at first you thought maybe this was some sort of game, but then he started to sit with you at lunch, or heād make his way to the library just to see if you were there, then call you four eyes and leave.
Today, you decided to sit in the courtyard under the big oak tree. The sun was warm, the breeze gentle, and you wore your favorite long flowy skirt with a simple tank top. You settled against the trunk with your tote bag beside you and opened your newest romance novel, hoping the story would pull you somewhere far away from your racing thoughts.
Students milled around the courtyard; boys tossing balls, girls laughing in clusters, the scene almost too picture-perfect. For a moment, you let yourself admire it.
Until a loud, angry voice shattered the peace.
āFour-eyes! Ball!ā
You looked up. Katsuki Bakugo was standing twenty feet away, pointing at the American football that had rolled to a stop a few feet from you. His expression was impatient, but his eyes lingered.
You sighed, stood up, and picked up the ball, hoping that would be the end of it.
You were wrong.
Somehow, you ended up slightly sweaty, standing in the middle of the grass while the star football player himself taught you how to throw. Youād tried to decline at first, but heād scoffed and said, āThereās more in life than just burying your nose in books, nerd.ā
He was surprisingly patient as he corrected your form ā adjusting your shoulders, telling you how to grip the ball, how to push from your core. His voice was gruff, but focused.
When you finally threw a decent spiral and it actually went somewhere, a small, surprised giggle escaped your lips.
You wereā¦having fun.
The realization made your chest feel strange. It was the same warm flutter youād felt when Izuku had sat next to you in the library weeks ago. Only now it was confusing. How could you feel this way about both of them? Was that even possible?
Your cheeks heated up.
āYou good? Too hot?ā Katsukiās voice came from behind you, closer than you expected.
You spun around quickly ā only to be met with the sight of him lifting the bottom of his shirt to wipe sweat from his brow. Your eyes traitorously dropped to the sharp lines of his abs before you forced them back up.
āY-yeah⦠I was gonna head back to the tree now,ā you mumbled, trying to escape the moment. You needed distance. The longer you stayed around them, the more confused and overwhelmed you became.
Katsukiās expression shifted. The easy smirk faded, replaced by something sharper.
āSure,ā he said, tone suddenly cold. āGo stick your nose back in that nerd book of yours.ā
You blinked, confused by the sudden change. Heād been almost⦠nice a second ago. What happened?
āLater, four-eyes.ā
He turned and walked off without another word, leaving you standing there clutching the football, chest tight with a strange mix of disappointment and relief.
You slowly walked back to your tree, the joy from moments ago already fading. The sun still shone brightly, but the courtyard suddenly felt colder.
You didnāt understand any of this.
And the worst part was⦠you werenāt sure you wanted to.
āā ā
When Bakugo pushed open the front door of the frat house, he wasnāt surprised by the silence.
His brain still whirling with the fresh memories of you, how you giggled when you got something right, how you looked at hime attentively when he explained how throwing the football workedā¦.how you breasts sat so prettily in your tank top.
The place was dead quiet. Deku had been in one of his moods for days, which meant anyone who wasnāt part of the inner circle had been kicked out. No parties. No noise. Just tension thick enough to choke on.
Izuku had been losing his mind over you. Heād even tracked down the girl who cornered you in the hallway and made it very clear she needed to stay the fuck away. But after leaving you on seen for two weeks, he didnāt know how to fix it. So heād been rotting in his room, replaying that stupid yacht video, wondering why the hell he let things get awkward.
Bakugo kicked open Dekuās door with more force than necessary.
āOi! Get your ass up, you damn nerd.ā
Izuku jumped slightly, sitting up in his messy bed. The room was dark, curtains drawn, only the glow of his phone lighting his face.
Bakugo stepped inside, eyes narrowing. āYou still moping like a little bitch?ā
Izuku didnāt answer. He just leaned back against the headboard, running a hand through his messy curls.
Bakugo clicked his tongue. āI get it now.ā
Dekuās eyes flicked up. āā¦What?ā
āI hung out with her today.ā
The room went dead silent.
Izuku slowly stood up from the bed, hands slipping into the pockets of his basketball shorts. His expression was calm, but the air around him felt charged.
āYou what?ā
āI taught her how to throw a football,ā Bakugo said, rubbing the back of his neck. He tried to play it casual, but his voice came out gruffer than usual. āSheās⦠not as annoying as I thought sheād be.ā
Izukuās jaw tightened. He took a step forward until they were nearly chest to chest.
āYou used the football trick on her?ā
Bakugoās smirk faltered. It wasnt like the two boys hadnt shared a girl before, but this was different, when they did share they discussed prior to making any sort of moves on the girl. They didnt do that this time, and Bakugo knew Deku wanted you first.
āYou know exactly what Iām talking about,ā Izuku said, voice low and sharp. āThatās your move. You teach them football, act all patient, get them laughing and sweaty, then fuck them after. Donāt act like I donāt know your playbook, Kacchan.ā
Bakugoās eyes narrowed. āIt wasnāt like that.ā
āYeah? Then why the fuck did you do it?ā Izuku pushed forward, chest bumping Bakugoās. āSheās not one of your hoes. Sheās not like the rest of them.ā
Bakugo shoved him back, eyes blazing. āAnd what the fuck are you doing about it? Youāve been hiding in here like a coward while sheās walking around campus looking lost. At least I actually talked to her.ā
Izukuās hands balled into fists. āYou think teaching her football makes you special? Thatās the same shit you do before you ghost them!ā
The fight exploded.
Izuku shoved Bakugo hard, sending him stumbling into the desk. Bakugo caught himself and shoved him right back. In seconds they were grappling ā fists flying, pushing and shoving like they used to when they were kids.
āYou think you can just pull your usual shit on her?!ā Izuku growled, landing a solid hit to Bakugoās side.
āShut the fuck up!ā Bakugo snarled, grabbing Izukuās shirt and slamming him against the wall. āYouāre the one who left her on seen for two weeks!ā
A punch cut him off. They crashed to the floor, rolling and throwing elbows. Bakugo ended up on top, pinning Izuku down with a forearm across his chest.
āFucking talk to her, Deku,ā Bakugo growled, breathing hard, blood on his lip. āStop acting like a damn loser and fix it.ā
He pushed off Izuku and stood up, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. Without another word, he stormed out, slamming the door so hard the walls shook.
Izuku stayed on the floor, chest heaving, tasting blood in his mouth. His knuckles were split. His heart was pounding.
He hadnāt meant to lose it like that.
But the thought of Bakugo using the same moves on you ā the same football trick he used on all his girls ā made something ugly and possessive twist deep in his chest.
He couldnāt lose you before he even had you.
āā ā
āSo basically they both want you?ā Mina said bluntly, her face filling the FaceTime screen.
Your cheeks burned instantly. You and Mina had only become friends a week ago, after youād literally crashed into her while trying to avoid Bakugo in the hallway. Sheād taken one look at your panicked expression and decided you were now her project.
āI-itās not like that, Mina,ā you tried to defend, voice small.
She raised a perfectly arched brow, smirking. āThe shy act is cute, babe, but first Deku was glued to your ass and now Bakugoās suddenly everywhere? I donāt know, girllll~ā
You sighed, looking away and finding the pattern on your dorm floor suddenly fascinating. āI just⦠I donāt know.ā
Minaās teasing smile softened a little. āHonestly though? Be careful with Bakugo. Heās known for doing that whole āfootball trickā thing ā getting girls all sweaty and laughing, then fucking them and dipping the next day. Just saying, babe.ā She paused, almost like she felt bad delivering the warning. āAllegedly,ā she added quickly, giggling.
āOh.ā
The word came out quieter than you meant. You werenāt even sure why the pit in your stomach suddenly felt so heavy. It wasnāt like you had any claim on him. On either of them.
It wasnāt long before Mina blew you a kiss and hung up, leaving you alone with your spinning thoughts. Why were both Bakugo and Izuku interested in you? Well⦠at least Bakugo seemed to be. You hadnāt heard a single word from Izuku in two weeks.
You hated how conflicted you felt. Was it even possible to like both of them? Was it right? The whole situation felt insane. You felt insane.
With a heavy sigh, you burrowed under your covers, hoping sleep would quiet everything. But then your phone buzzed.
Once.
Then again.
And again.
Three more times in quick succession.
izuku: hey
izuku: didnt mean to leave you on seen mb
izuku: just wondering if we could talk?
You groaned, scrolling further.
Then your stomach dropped.
@.itskatsukibaku.go is following you.
That was Bakugoās main account. This couldnāt be a coincidence.
bakugo: four eyes, gotta talk.
bakugo: dont block this account either dumbass
Your eyes widened, heart hammering against your ribs. Minaās words echoed loudly in your head: So basically they both want you?
You turned your phone off and hurled it across the bed like it had burned you. Then you shoved your face into your pillow and screamed.
