Soooooooo i was supposed to take a break from drawing itfs after itfs week had ended. But then i was reading some of the itfs week fics and...yeah. I was Possessed (and also going crazy after like. 2 days without drawing 1ifyoucountstrawpageart).
This art is for the fic Protection Comes At A Cost I Can Pay by @jean47mclean .
Also a thousand thanks to Lucky and everyone else on discord who helped me decide on stuff and cheered me on while i died inside when drawing the fucking plants for Yuuji's part ♡♡♡
It's finally here! This is my most prized possession of the week, and I finally get to share it with you all. Some major edits are still being made to the other chapters, but I think I'm just going to post the first chapter under itafushi week.

Summary:
To Yuuji, the arts have always united people more than anything else. Be it dancing, painting, writing. He enjoyed it all, but was never gifted like many others. And even if he were, his first duty will always be to his kingdom. When he was younger, he would be caught trying to draw flowers instead of learning battle strategies, and would have the paper swiftly removed from his grasp before being shoved into Gojo's office to hear another lecture that would lose him two minutes in.
But now, there was someone in his life who understood him more than anyone else. He's tried so hard to connect with people no matter what, but even the few he's managed to befriend, none of them tend to see the world the way he does. He's made peace with it, but there's something so unique and captivating about the way the stranger from the garden had talked, how he was at peace with himself but was also thoughtful of everything he said.
This illustration gathered dust for several months because I've been perpetually unsatisfied with its background. As a result it contains the first drawings I ever did of these characters, predating all the other artworks I've posted earlier.. kinda odd!
