“WORLD'S WORST WINGMAN" CH. 8
♡ ANONYMOUS!YUJI ITADORI x READER (SMAU SERIES)
-> CH. 9
⊱SYNOPSIS: confessing to your crush Megumi Fushiguro didn't go quite as planned when Nobara accidentally gave you his friend's number instead 😵💫 But hey! Now you have a wingman to help you get all the intel! That is, if he doesn't instead try to keep you two apart so he can have you all to himself…👀
⊱C/W: pining, reader has crush on megumi (at first), small angst between them, cursing, somewhat insensitive jokes, slow burn, cockblocker fushiguro
The air was cold, like any other day. In front of you was Nobara talking Fushiguro's ear off about this new clothing store that just opened. And Itadori was right next to you. Except, his iconic red hooded jacket wasn't. It was around you instead after you made one complaint about the weather.
Great. As if you already couldn't decide which boy to pick.
When you think about it, both options were good: Fushiguro was nonchalant, but soft-hearted to the ones he cares about. Plus, he's smart, there's no way you couldn't like him. But on the other hand, Itadori was also a great choice...Athletic, energetic, fun, caring, same interests, the list just goes on. How on Earth were you supposed to just choose?
"Hey, you okay?" you feel Itadori nudge your shoulder, snapping you out of your zoning thoughts.
"Oh yeah, totally. I do that sometimes, it's a bad habit," You smile back at him in response.
Itadori nudges your shoulder playfully, in attempts to bring you back down to Earth from your daydreaming. "Man, it's cold today, can't imagine what it'd be like at night." He complains.
"I hear ya. But hey, we'll be inside the mall won't we?"
"Yup, plus, we can find more Human Earthworm merchandise" he gives you a wink.
"Oh! And there was a store that Fushiguro said had a bunch of sanrio stuff! I've been meaning to get more character pens"
"More? What was the one you already had?"
"Pochacco! I've been meaning to get a Keroppi one for Nobara so we can match.”
“Ohhh I see, maybe we could—“
“Hey, Itadori,” Nobara calls out in her usual stern voice, interrupting him. “Hold this.” She says, casually giving Itadori her purse.
“Uh- okay…why?”
“Because I don’t want to” she keeps walking slightly ahead of the two.
You and Itadori exchange a glance, before you let out a small chuckle. “I didn’t know you were such a ladies man, Itadori.”
“Yeah, well, I don’t know if you can count her as a lady..” he murmurs in a pout, making sure Nobara doesn’t hear.
“I mean, at least you look stylish with it on~” you say pointing out how femininely he’s holding the purse on his shoulder.
“You think so?” He bats his eyelashes at you, and you can’t help but scoff out a laugh.
Meanwhile, Nobara and Fushiguro were looking for a place to eat. Knowing Itadori’s appetite for…anything, that wasn’t a problem.
“What about this café?” Fushiguro suggests, holding up his phone to Nobara. “It’s got cakes and hot chocolate and stuff”
“Hot chocolate? What happened to Mr. Black Coffee?” Nobara squints at him
“What? I don’t have to get black coffee all the time, y’know.” He rolls his eyes. “Plus it’s cold, why not?”
Nobara shrugs with him. “Your call, dude.” She turns over her shoulder calling out to Itadori and y/n who were still chatting amongst themselves.
“Guys, what do you think about eating at a cafe? Hot chocolate?”
“Oh my God, please, it’s freezing.” You sigh of relief.
“Cafe, huh? If you guys want, I’m down.” Itadori shrugs in return.
"Sounds good to them, now where is it?" Nobara runs a hand over her hair, facing back to Fushiguro.
"Uhm. That one." He points to the cafe in front. The one with a line that stretched at least 10 ft just outside the cafe.
"...Dude, are you serious?" She deadpans Fushiguro.
"Maybe it's worth the wait...?"
"There is no way I'm standing in that long ass line." Nobara crosses her arms.
"Well, tell that to Itadori and y/n, they're already there." Fushiguro says, walking over to you two playing rock paper scissors at the end of the line, leaving Nobara to stare in disbelief at you three.
ᯓᯓᯓᯓᯓ
It'd been at least 15 minutes of you guys standing in the freezing cold out here. At least there was only 1 more person before you officially made it through the doors of the cafe, but God were you thirsting for that hot coco. It's no mistake, Nobara was only staying here for you. Had it only been with Itadori and Fushiguro, she would have ditched them in a heartbeat.
"Augh, this is taking foreverrrrr" Nobara groans, throwing her head back.
"Well, it'll be worth it, at least?" You shrug, looking at her, to which she gives you an unamused look.
"That's it, I'm going." She stretches to her side.
"Going? Where?"
"Shopping. C'mon, Itadori!" She yanks Itadori out of the line, startling him
"What?! Why me?!"
"Because I need someone to carry my bags."
"Carry your own bags," He pouts.
Nobara rolls her eyes. "You don't want me to tell her about your little unknown number role play do you?" she mumbles near his ear.
"Wow. Didn't think you'd go that low. Fine, fine," He shrugs himself away from her grasp, still somewhat irritated at her threat.
"What? You're both leaving now?" You whine.
"Oh we won't be long, buy me a slice of strawberry cheesecake, please?" Itadori reassures you
"I guess...But don't take too long." You say to him lastly, before Nobara's patience ends, and she ends up dragging him to the mall nearby.
Well, you guess you won't be seeing Itadori for a while. Or Nobara. So the only other person left would have to be...
"Y/N, what're you getting?" The rasp in his voice rang through your ears, and instantly you felt your heart flutter.
"I guess I'll just get hot chocolate and 2 slices of strawberry cheesecake," you respond, looking at the menu atop the counters just to avoid any eye contact with him. "What about you?"
He shrugs, stepping a bit closer to you as he looks around. "What about that one?" He points to a small cupcake in the corner of the displays.
A small pistachio and chocolate flavored cupcake stood alone in it's tray, but what made Fushiguro point it out was the little Smiski guy laying atop the frosting of the cupcake.
"Since when were you into smiskis?" You nudge his shoulder with your elbow.
"I'm not. It just doesn't hurt to try it. And also, we're gonna be here for a while most likely, might as well get something appetizing."
You can't believe your eyes or ears. This had to just be a coincidence, right? The guy you liked was finally alone with you, and at that, he was exploring the interests YOU said would fit him. This must just be a dream come true.
[bzzt]
"Who're you texting?" Fushiguro peaks over your phone-- a little too close.
You fumble back, catching your phone before it falls. "I-It's just Itadori checking in.
"Hm." He nods his head and doesn't pry further. "You should pay attention, it was out turn to order."
"Oh shit-! Lemme-"
"No need. I did it for both of us."
"Huh?"
"I ordered. For both of us. It's no big deal, it should be out in a few."
"Why would you do that?" you frown, digging in your purse for your wallet.
"Y/n, stop." he says, holding your bag shut with this hand. "I'm paying for us and that's final."
"But you could've at least asked me" you pout.
"I did. You were way too immersed in your phone, dummy."
"Oh. Right," You nervously rub your neck, only earning a chuckle out of him.
"it's okay...really. I don't mind."
ᯓᯓᯓᯓᯓ
The two of you had finally gotten your orders and decided to sit outside in the cold weather to finish it. The strawberry cheesecake was delicious, unlike any other you'd tried. And of course, you saved a slice for Itadori. Fushiguro on the other hand...
"God, I am never coming here again." Fushiguro spits out the smiski cupcake and gargles his mouth with water in attempts to get "rid of" the smell.
"Oh cmonnn, it can't be that bad." You laugh.
"Yeah? You try it." He challenged.
You take a small spoonful of the frosting, bringing it to your lips.
"God, you're right thats-- Oh God," you can't even finish your sentence, before you're being forced to swallow back your own vomit.
"Told you." he lets out a small smile. "Who would even approve of something like this?"
"Maybe the victims didn't make it to tell the story..."
"Haha. Funny." He rolls his eyes. "I'm getting coffee from somewhere else."
"You and your caffeine addiction," You laugh.
"When you're around Itadori all day, you tend to need it." He deadpans, getting up off the table. You follow him, grabbing your purse and swinging it over your shoulder before you both start to make your way around the small shops near the mall.
"Oh, c'mon, he's not that bad. I like being around him!"
"Do you now?" He chuckles.
"Yea, of course. I mean I haven't met anyone else that like the Human Earthworm series like he does. And he's funny-- but he doesn't try to be, y'know? It's just natural to him. He's also really nice, he stays up with me just to help me study--"
"Calm down, I believe you. I don't need a biography."
"My bad, but why do you ask? Do you not like him?"
"What? Of course I do. Yeah, he can be a bit much at times, but it's not something that I dislike about him."
"Awww!"
"Quit that."
"You guys are so cute!"
Fushiguro rolls his eyes, but it doesn't seem like it's from genuine annoyance rather playful. It's when you open your eyes and realize you're really, truly, actually hanging out with Megumi Fushiguro. And you like it. You really like it. Just like it.
"We're here." Fushiguro's voice pulls you out of your thoughts. When you look up you're met with the most brown-beige boring cafe ever. There's about 3 people in there, and they're all working.
"Seriously? So depressing..." You murmur.
"Yea, don't judge it before you try it." He says, pulling you by your sleeve into the basic cafe.
You'd hoped at least the menu would be interesting, but...
"There's not a single cake on there."
"I'm sure there's something else sweet you can get." He says ordering his coffee on the tablet.
"Nah, the strawberry cheesecake was enough I guess. By the way, when are Nobara and Itadori coming back?"
"No clue. They'll probably be a while, though. In the meantime, I have something else planned." He says, taking his bag and coffee that came out relatively fast.
"Oh God, you're just dragging me around everywhere huh" you joke.
"Yes, but no. You'll like this location." He says, handing you his bag.
You take it with a puzzled look. "What else did you get?"
"Chocolate bagel."
"Ohh, I didn't see that on the menu. I didn't even know you liked chocolate, I always took you for a bitter-type person."
"I don't like chocolate. It's for you." He keeps the door open for you to leave.
"What? Why'd you get something for me?"
"Figured you'd like it. Now are you gonna keep questioning or actually try it?"
You purse your lips, pulling out the treat and taking a bite.
"Woah! this is good!"
"I know. Don't judge a book by it's cover."
"Okay, Shakespeare, you and that boring cafe win." You say, stuffing your face. "Where we going anyway?"
"Should be just around here...there." He points to yet another cafe. Except...this was big, and pink, and cute, and colorful, and was that Hello Kitty?
"is this the sanrio cafe?!" You gasp.
"Yeah. You wanna go?"
"Of course I do!" You squeal, racing past him to go to the place. Upon entering, your senses are filled with the hint of vanilla and strawberry, as well as the small stationary of characters, posters, plushies, and so much more.
"Fushiguro, this is so cute!"
He smiles softly at how happy you seem. "Glad you like it."
He follows you over to the the accessories they have, letting you pick out and choose what you're so giddy over. You turn to him with two headbands: one of Pochacco's ears, and one with Badtz's spiky hair.
"Hey, it kinda matches your hair already."
"You want me to wear that?" He looks unamused.
But without even answering him, you're already placing it on his head and taking your phone out.
"Aw, you two even have the same grumpy face." You laugh, snapping a few.
He takes it off of him after the third photo, flustered and blushiing from the attention. "Alright, enough of that."
"Nooo, keep it on, we needa take one together!"
"Absolutely not."
"You're no fun," You pout.
He rolls his eyes, clearly bashful.
"Thank's for taking me here Fushiguro. It's a nice place."
"Of course. Thought you might like it and stuff. We can hang out here for the time being, since y'know, we don't know how long the two will take."
"Now that you mention it, it is getting kinda late. Maybe I should call and check."
Hm. no response?
"Let me try calling them," You suggest. You scroll through your contacts in search for either ones number when you realize something.
"Uh, hey Fushiguro?"
"Yeah?" he says looking up from his phone.
"Can I have Itadori's number? I just realized I don't actually have it and y'know, we're friends and whatnot, so."
"Oh, yeah. Of course, here" He opens his contact for Itadori up to you so you can copy down the number.
"Thanks! Don't know why I didn't get it sooner," You giggle.
You input his number into the keypad to call him, but your heart drops instantly, watching the screen. And all of a sudden, every good you said about Itadori today to Fushiguro seemed to blue between the lines of what was truth and deception.
"What the fuck...?"
