" do you want me to stay ? " / @kusattainu
“ i’ll be fine, ” yūji muttered, sitting outside ijichi’s apartment, waiting for his current guardian to return. ijichi was always busy, always needed by everyone. and yūji... he felt completely useless. as far as anyone else knew, he was supposed to be dead. the loneliness that came with this predicament was unbearable. he missed his friends, his sensei—who was often away on some trip. Instead of training, he was sitting around watching movies, growing more bored each day. for a kid full of energy, this stagnation was torture.
yūji finally looked up at suiren with sad eyes and a deep frown. they were one of the few people he had through all this, something he couldn’t help but be thankful for. “ i’m just tired, that’s all. ” he tried to dismiss his feelings, but the weight of being a vessel, only to be used when needed, was crushing. a sigh escaped his lips as sukuna's mocking words echoed in his mind.
“ actually, can you stay until ijichi gets here? ” he asked finally, his voice barely above a whisper.
