Yuji itadori doesn’t realize he’s love-drunk until everyone else points it out.
it’s little things at first.
like how he suddenly forgets what he was saying whenever you walk into the room. how he’ll start a sentence, see you, and then just — pause. blinking, smiling like his brain rebooted.
“you were saying?” megumi reminds him.
“…wait what-? ”
nobara groans. “this is painful to watch.”
because the moment you sit next to him, Yuji’s entire attention shifts.
he leans toward you without noticing. laughs at things that aren’t even that funny. and whenever you say his name? his head snaps up immediately like you just called a very excited dog.
“yeah??”
“yuji, i literally just asked if you wanted snacks.”
“oh. yeah. yes. snacks are great.”
he turns pink the second he realizes how eager he sounded.
but the worst part is how soft he gets around you.
normally yuji is loud, energetic, bouncing off the walls — but when you’re tired or quiet, he automatically matches you. his voice lowers, movements slower, like he’s afraid of disturbing you.
one evening after training, you’re sitting on the dorm steps rubbing your sore arms.
yuji notices immediately.
“hey,” he says softly, plopping down beside you.
before you can say anything, he gently takes your hands and starts rubbing small circles over your palms — something he saw athletes do once.
“that helps the soreness,” he mumbles, cheeks a little pink. “i think.”
you stare at him.
because he’s concentrating so hard. brows furrowed. treating your hands like they’re the most important thing in the world.
megumi walks past, sees the scene, and sighs.
“he’s completely gone.”
yuji doesn’t even hear him.
he’s too busy smiling when you squeeze his hand back.
I guess he really is maybe a little too love drunk..
A short fluffy fic on how i think yuji would confess!! ><
It wasn't odd for Yuji to invite you, Nobara, and Megumi to hang out in his dorm and watch movies after practice, it was routine at this point. It also wasn't odd for at least one of you to cancel, most of the time being Nobara so she could go shopping, and today was the same story. Nobara had gone out with some new friends to the mall, and Megumi had actually decided to head to bed early after some pretty harsh training with Gojo.
Its understandable, you are all pretty close friends, and you really didn't mind watching a movie alone with Yuji anyway….
You entered his dorm, small blanket and a snack in hand. It wasn't very late, but its not like you're going anywhere special, so just some pajamas will do..
the Light of the TV illuminated his dark room, lights off and all the curtains closed. his room was actually pretty basic and plain. There was a time he had some questionable posters up… but Nobara thankfully forced him to take them down…
'Hey! pick out a movie yet?'
you sit down on his bed and get comfy, wrapping the blanket around yourself and opening the wrapper to take a bite of your snacks.
'oh, hey! yeah, there's this movie that came out.. i think you'll like it.'
he starts the movie and places the remote down, getting comfy in his own blanket, snuggling closer to you.
You both laugh your way through most of the cliche Rom-com movie. It was surprisingly enjoyable.. a movie about two best-friends that don't realize they have feelings for each other.. totally not relatable in any way..!
Only problem is, when the characters finally confess to each other, it awakens something in Yuji.. More like a realization..it was just the way your head was leaning on his shoulder makes him feel like there's butterflies in his stomach.. Or how whenever he looks at you, he can't help but this about just how beautiful your eyes look. Especially all those times he would try his hardest to be the funniest person in the room, just to hear that pretty little laugh and see your beautiful smile.
Yuji stares at the TV, almost frozen as this hits him, a small blush painting his cheeks.. Alright, so he likes you, but you probably don't feel the same way , you're just friends after all.. And there is no way you could ever think of him as anything other than that..right?
You yawn as the movie comes to an end, arms rising above your head to stretch. You start to pick up the wrappers of your snacks off of his bed and try to hop off, he grabs your shoulder. Its gentle, like he's barely even touching you.
you turn your head to look at him, his cheeks a rose color and his expression looks flustered, like he didn't look farther ahead.
'What's up Yuji?'
…
its silent…
'Yuji..?'
you lean closer to him, waiting.. waiting for anything at this point, just something to fill the awkward silence..
…
'Hey.. i think i like you..'
This is just a small extended head-cannon of how i think Yuji would confess to you! It would definitely be something out of the blue and unplanned. He just kind of realizes he likes you and can't keep it contained, he just has to tell you!! but hey, at least it worked out in the end!
A/N- this is my first ever writing! i would appreciate reblogs and likes, but i would LOVE comments and feedback! feel free to leave me some tips, and don't be scared to req some stuff!
˳ ⊹. pairings: yuuji itadori x reader (powerless au ig)
˳ ⊹. authors note: smoker yuuji has been in my mind lately so :3 also i’m so very sleepy while writing this
yuuji lifted the blunt up to his mouth, taking in a gulp of the smoke. the white smoke blowing out of him. he giggled before turning to you. “baby”, he called out, his arms stretching out to you from the other side of the room.
you were cooking in the kitchen, trying to finish dinner, but whenever yuuji smokes he becomes extremely needy. he called your name again. you rolled your eyes, stirring the pot, adding new spices into your dish. “i know you’re ignoring me right now”, he said. you giggled at his response, turning off the flame of the stove before walking over to him.
“what”, you said playfully, yuujis cotton candy hair was flopped over his face covering his eyes. emitting from under his hair was another cloud of smoke appeared. “baby i missed you”, he confessed. crossing your arms, you rolled your eyes, “yuuji ive been here all day, we watched a movie together 20 minutes ago”.
“jus’ come ‘re”, he gripped onto your pajama shirt pulling you down on the couch with him. “yuuji!”, you squealed, his hand gripped onto you waist the other holding his rolled, lit blunt. he took a swig from the rolled paper, and came close to your ear, “baby don’t go, he placed his head on your shoulder, little bits of the white air escaped from his lips whenever he talked. “jus’ want you here”
you looked down at him and he was giving you those fake annoying puppy eyes. “fine”, you scoffed, “are you hungry yuuji baby?”. he shook his head, “nah i’m not hungry.. yet”. you hit his hand as he laughed at his own joke. he still had his arms wrapped around you, his chin resting upon your shoulder. incapsulating you in his warmth. he hummed to himself, tapping his fingers over your tummy.
squirming underneath him, he tilted his head up at you, “what that tickles, angel?”. he smirked tapping his fingers even harder. “yuuji stop!”, you whined. the pink hair laughed at you, “ok i’ll stop, yea”.
the both of you sat in silence, the only knows was yuuji blowing out smoke from his mouth and the hushed television in the background. yuuji sighed into you, he became very quiet now. after a while, you started hearing soft snores. looking down you yuuji’s blushed figure laying on your shoulder. his pretty eyes shut and his mouth slightly agape.
smiling to yourself, you admired him. so quiet, so peaceful. as you tried to move from under him, you heard a tiny mumble come from his lips and felt a squeeze on your hips. “don’t go, baby”, he slurred, “you’re too comfy”.
“it’s ok i’m coming back, yuu”, you stroked his hair, “i’m jus’ getting food”, his doe eyes stared up at you, “can i have some too?”. you chuckled, “i will”. while walking off you heard a small “thank you” from behind you.
when you came back, you saw yuuji with a small blanket wrapped around his torso. his head was laid down under a throw pillow. his legs curled up into his chest. “yuu, are you still sleeping?”, you asked sitting down beside him.
“no i’m jus’ sleepy”, he raised his head up as you lifted the fork up to his mouth as he took a bite. he hummed with pleasure, “that’s really yummy, baby”. he opened his mouth once more for you to place the fork in his mouth. you patted his head, “thank you, but go get some sleep, you look tired”. you rubbed your finger under his eyes before placing a kiss on his forehead.
yuuji purred, placing his head onto your lap. you intertwined his fingers into his hair making him melt under your touch. he murmured something into your skin, before stretching out. “hm, what was that yuuji?”, you question. you awaited a response but all you heard was his soft snores again. you smiled to yourself,“goodnight, baby”
