☆ tomorrow with you ☆
Synopsis: a mission gone right leaves you injured and full of thoughts. leading you to your hiding spot that only one person knows of. whos that person? well no other then Maki, your special person.
a/n: this was requested by @lovelymaki i hope your doing well and i hope this helps to make you feel better, even if its just a little. this ended up being a littler more angsty and reader driven then intended, bc i ended up putting a lot of my own pent up emotions into it hehe, but i wanted maki to be a pillar of sorts for reader.
included: maki (jjk)
!tw! injuries, reader thinks alot about their choices thus far
There were days where you regretted becoming a jujutsu sorcerer. Sure the pay was good, but you weren’t quite sure if that made up for the bruises and cuts that littered your body. You were lucky you made it out with only a large, but shallow, gash on the side of your stomach, a few bruises and a cut on your cheeks. Everything should heal without trouble, but the gash will scar, Shoko told you. Her voice was muffled by the cigarette between her cherry-colored lips. You thanked her and left the infirmary and limped slowly back to your room.
You knew that you should be grateful. Grateful that you were able to see, to walk, to breathe. You were thankful, yes, no doubt. But that doesn't mean that you won’t get used to it. Not to the aching bones, dark patches on your soft skin, the scars or the pure exhaustion you faced after exerting too much curse energy.
It was part of your life as a jujutsu sorcerer, yet you didn’t know if it was worth it.
The halls were dark. Cold from the season’s transition. The autumn leaves, once blazing with the colors of fire, laid brown and shriveled to the ground. Trees barren of life. Only the slimmest view of the moon could be seen in the clear night.
A deep sigh left your lips. You didn’t want to go back to the room, knowing that it would only begin again the moment your head touches your pillows. You didn’t want to sleep yet. You didn’t think you could.
You took a left, down the dark hall out the door into the silent night. Your feet dragged against the stone path, your shoes hanging loosely in your hands. You could feel the dampness of the ground on your bare feet. You didn’t mind.
Eventually you found yourself at the observatory, which served less as an observatory but more as a storage unit, or in your case, your secret hide out. It was far from the school’s main building. Secluded and isolated. You spent a lot of your time here.
It overlooked the large forest that kept Jujutsu Tech hidden. On clear days, you could see the twinkling lights of Tokyo below you. Today was one of those nights. It was barely visible, but it was enough for you.
Oftentimes you’d find yourself here all alone. Away from the rest of your classmates and teachers. It was nice for the most part. Nobody knew where you went. They’d asked, but you’d reply with a vague and simple answer ‘your moms house’.
Okay, maybe not a good or really acceptable answer (gojo loved it, but principle yaga? not so much)
Either way, no one bothered you. So you were able to get lost in your thoughts. Without a single interruption.
“You should be resting”
Ah, you forgot. Of course, she would be able to track you down without trouble. She knew where you went and would occasionally join you.
She, being the one and only, Maki Zenin.
Slumping forwards, you leaned your head against the cold metal of the railing, “Good to see you too, sweetcheeks.”
Her palm collided with the back of your head. Soft, yet firm enough for you to feel her worry. Her back collided with the railing, shaking it slightly. Facing away from the cliff, she huffed, “you shouldn’t be walking around in the cold with no shoes. You’ll get sick.”
You stifled a laugh. Glancing at her, you admired the way the light of the moon highlighted her strong features. Strong nose and jawline, sharp brows and eyes. Yet, her cheeks were soft and smooth, lips even more so. Her normal distant gaze was grounded, almost soft when her eyes moved to meet yours. Something twinkled in her eyes, you weren’t sure if you imagined it.
Her lips split into a grin. Rose pink lips stretching to show her white teeth. She said something, you didn’t hear it. Too busy staring at her. Your heart is beating louder than her blunt voice.
“Are you even listening to me?”
“Huh?” You blinked.
Rolling her eyes, she gestured back to the direction of the school. “We should head back. It’s cold and it’s late.”
“Oh.”
You would be lying if you said that you wanted to go back, because you didn’t. You didn’t want to go back and repeat today. Go back and do the whole routine all over again. You didn’t know if it was worth it.
A part of you wanted to burst out crying. Another wanted to fall to the ground and let the earth eat you whole. Let the bugs dig into your flesh and return you back to where you started. To close your eyes and imagine floating through space. Imagine the waves against your bare legs. Imagine the warm comforting glow of the cafe light and warm drink in your hands. Imagine Maki’s laugh and her charming grin. Imagine anything else but going back to your cold room, bare of anything but your uniform and shoes, sheets and Maki’s sweater she lent you long ago that you never returned.
But one look at her worried gaze made you stop your train of thoughts. You knew she would never let you go through with that. Her grip on you was too strong, whether she knew it or not. You couldn’t let Maki see you so low. You didn’t want her to think so lowly of you.
Your train of thought was interrupted by a warm hand cupping your own. You didn’t realize how cold you were until now. You especially didn’t realize that tears began to slide down your cheeks until she wiped them away. She didn’t say anything and you were far too embarrassed to look at her.
Slowly her arms wrapped around you and brought you incredibly close. Your head resting against her shoulder. Hands, rough from years of training and mistreatment, cradled you. Soft, but firm, as if you’d run away.
Intimacy between you and Maki wasn’t uncommon. But intimacy initiated by her was. It was always you who intertwined your hands, or pecked her cheek, or loudly pronounced your undying loyalty and love to her. So this was different.
Her arms, strong and firm, felt so good, so comforting around your waist. Her scent, clean and earthy, made your trembling stop. You felt safe, secure, more so than you’ve felt in a long time.
“Y’know, I don’t want to go back yet, actually.” She murmured into your hair. “I’ll skip my morning job. Itadori does one and everytime he sees me, he wants to train. He has too much energy in the morning, if you ask me.”
“You never skip your morning jog, Maki.” You sniffed. Her grip on you tightened when you began to move around to look at her.
Sighing softly, she murmured, “well, tomorrows a different day. I can afford to take a day off and relax, I'm not a robot, y’know.”
Oh.
You felt dumb, really dumb. So dumb you couldn’t help but laugh. Of course, if there was one person in this entire school, no entire world, who could see right through you, it would be Maki. Maki could see right through you, to her your body was like a window to your heart. To your desires, to your thoughts and fears. You felt so dumb for trying to hide anyting from her.
Maki had always been there for you and with you since your freshman year. She has seen every embarrassing, happy or devastating moment of your life since. And you’ve seen hers as well. You’ve been so caught up in your own mind that you forgot about her and the bond you shared.
She must have been waiting for you to come to her. And you never did.
You didn’t deserve her. Not after this.
“Lets go to the cafe you like, the one by the port. I heard they added a new seasonal drink.” She said, her fingers rubbing circles on your back. “You deserve a break too.”
Your lips wobbled. You really need to stop pretending like Maki didn’t know how your mind works. Of course, she could already see your self-deprecating thoughts from a mile away.
She was Maki, your best friend. Really your best everything. If she was there with you, you were positive you could continue to walk forwards. She would be there to catch you if you faltered and you would do the same.
Fate had brought you together and you were going to fight your damn hardest to stay together.
Burying deeper into the dip of her shoulder, you nodded. A smile creeping up onto your lips. “Yeah, I’d like that alot.”
“Good.”
You let yourself relax in her warm hold. Let yourself breathe a deep sigh as her lips made contact with your hairline. Let the flush on your cheeks warm and darken and heart boom in your chest the longer her lips lingered.
You weren’t sure if a life of jujutsu sorcery was for you, but you were positive that a life where you and Maki stayed together, was one worth fighting for.

Thoughts while watching the new miraculous movie cuz I’m three minutes in and can already TELL I’m gonna be losing my mind:
Spoilers under cut obv
Daddy no :( you can’t take me to school tomorrow with fresh baked goods for my whole class :( that’s so embarrassing :( what would they THINK ?!?!
Marinette: I want a better life (beautiful, picturesque Paris, apartment above your parents bakery, heading to a fancy school) cause I’m so clumsy???
Me: GIRLY ILL SWAP WITH YOU???
God I saw stuff about the singing voice and it’s so tonally and stylistically different from Christina Vee’s VAing that I can’t take it seriously. The singer isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s so clearly a different person.
Aside from the im loving the animation so far. It’s so cool seeing these character I’ve known since like 2017 in a new, more polished style.
Goddamnit we’re still making popular girl no carbs jokes???
DAMN ALYA THATS COLD (oh sorry, do I need to take a number behind the line of friends coming to your rescue?) LIKE YOUVE HAD ONE LINE SO FAR.
Chloe going about this bully/rival thing reeaallll fruity
Emo Adrien just trying to listen to MCR and tune out the normies that just don’t get it 😡😭
NINO BEST BRO
EW WHAT HAIR IS THAT GABRIEL
Nooroo called them the ladybug and chat noir miraculouses, but shouldn’t it be the ladybug and black cat miraculous? I thought they chose their names for themselves, ladybug sticking with ladybug, chat noir coming up with his own?
TIKKI IS SO CUTE OMG
This chat noir so silly and goofy
NOT CARELESS WHISPER ARE YOU KIDDING ME. YALL COULDA DONE A BEAUTIFUL ORCHESTRAL SWELL AND YOU PICK C A R E L E S S W H I S P E R?!?!?!?!
Btw why did Marinette prove her worth while adrien was just like. Doing hw. It’s easy to prove you can use the ladybug for good. Show me why he was chosen to use destruction for good. That’d be so interesting.
PUSS IN BOOTS
Plagg take an antacid plz
SHE THREW IT OUT THE WINDOW
Pop off hawk moth villain song honestly, best one so far
OK HAWKMOTH SING
Nino Dr. Love omg my favorite guy
Golden rule: always stay cool… (voice immediately shoots up an octave when Alya speaks to him)
That’s NOT HOW ROLLERCOASTERS WORK
That’s gotta be at least a few casualties
ASHDJFJF Catches Chloe from a deadly fall only to redirect and chuck her HARDER into a dumpster
Chloe you gotta stop giving off repressed fruity vibes
This movie has not established enough of a connection between marinette and adrien to justify ladybug rejecting chat noir (on the basis of loving someone else, I mean, not that she can’t reject him at all)
Plagg? Not the time.
WTF HAPPENED TO YOU GABRIEL?!?! DID YOU GO ON A BENDER?!?!
The movie has not established enough, if any, disconnect between adrien and gabriel. I love seeing adrien stand up for himself, but it feels kinda weird
LMAO HES LIKE BOUNCING IN PLACE WITH ANGER DONT MAKE ME LAUGH
Adrien with headphones is so fucking funny to me. Head down shoulders hunched, listen to welcome to Nightvale cause no one else gets it
Chloe. Every. God. Every word out of your mouth is so fruity. “There is someone else. And she’s right in front of you.” Someone else for who, Chloe?? For marinette?? I better you’re hoping she thinks you mean u and her huh?
Crush likes someone else. Life not worthy living. Dreams not worth pursuing.
All these songs run together. Except hawkmoths. His kicked ass.
Jesus Christ it’s Armageddon
STOP WITH THE FUCKING CARELESS WHISPER
HAS HE BEEN LISTENING TO CARELESS WHISPER THE WHOLE TIME?!?! THIS FUCKING LOSER OH MY GOD
Ladybug out here in YOUR FATHERS APOCALYPSE and you’re MOPING IN YOUR FANCY HOUSE
It’s the end of the world are you really gonna be salty rn?!?!
Ew why it’s the cataclysm like. An oil slick?!
Oh shit he dead
Oh he super dead
From the top of the Eiffel Tower? Into water?? You’re dead.
WHERE IS THE LAVA COMING FROM?!
SINCE WHEN DO YOU HAVE THE FORCE HAWKMOTH?!
Damn show hawkmoth could never.
Jesus fucking razor winged butterflies
Movie says fuck sentimonster adrien here’s Emilie pregnant
Anyways uh you killed and displaced likely hundreds of citizens so get ready for a lifetime in prison, hawky
OH I FORGOT ABOUT MIRACULOUS LADYBUG LMAO WERE GOOD ACTUALLY
Ok you placed the rubble back together but a bunch of people are still probably dead right
Ya Chloe make a quick exit bc of that gay crisis you’re having. Next year? Back to bullying. What was this year Chloe? Hm?
Overall: cool animation and effects, nostalgic for early lady noir dynamic, writer brain is itching for what could’ve been, but otherwise it is what it is, prob won’t watch it again.
EDIT: SHE DISNT DO MIRACULOUS LADYBUG UNTIL THE END RIGHT???? LIKE AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF HEROING??? SO ALL THE SHIT AT THE FAIR. JUST HAPPENED. YOU CANT TELL ME THERE ARENT LIKE. DEAD BODIES. I DONT THINK SHE KNEW SHE COULD FIX IT RIGHT??? PEOPLE DIED. YOU DESTROYED A CHUNK OF A CITY GABRIEL.
