Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen

Pairing: Itadori Yuuji/Fushiguro Megumi

A/N: I caught up with the manga, and shit’s pretty fucked, so I decided to amend that with fluff.

[AO3 Link]

Fushiguro - according to Kugisaki - is the textbook definition of a homosexual disaster.

No see, here’s the thing- everything was going fine. Great. No problems at all. Fushiguro respects his seniors, tolerates Gojo, and has the biggest soft spot for Inumaki, but he’s never been attracted to any one in his usual circle. So, school and sorcery and life in general was simple. No distractions, no crushes as such, no complications. All good.

And then Itadori Yuuji barges into his life and upends the fuck out of it by eating a special grade cursed object to save him. Then he joins Jujutsu Tech, and now they work and train and study and live alongside one another.

The thing is, Itadori is cute as fuck. 10/10 would tap that, any day of any week.

It’s not that Fushiguro has a type or anything, but Itadori just ticks all his boxes. When Todo had bullheadedly asked him what kind of person he likes, he’d said anyone with a strong moral compass that doesn’t waver in their resolve.

That’s Itadori in a nutshell.

Also, doesn’t hurt that he’s like, stupidly hot either. His raw physical prowess is reflected on his body in the form of shapely muscles, hard abs, and wide forearms that look like they could pick Fushiguro up and just throw him like a javelin. They actually can- Itadori had to do it for a mission this one time. Fushiguro enjoyed it immensely, and he will take this information with him to his grave.

So, not only is Itadori attractive and strong and of good character, but he’s also hella friendly. Fushiguro knows he’s not the easiest person to befriend- it takes a while for him to warm up to people, to share things about himself, to talk about the shitshow that is his family, but Itadori does not seem to give a single, flying fuck. He walks into Fushiguro’s life with the strength and ease of someone that just believes they belong. And Fushiguro lets him, because he is, as Kugisaki very accurately put it, a complete and utter homosexual disaster.

But it’s fine. Crushes happen all the time, and Fushiguro knows it’s hopeless and that’s ok. He knows Itadori likes him and cherishes their friendship, and that is enough. It will be. He’ll move on, and they’ll laugh about it in a few years (if they survive) and it’ll be great. In the meantime, he’s going to hole up in his room and read non-fiction books and stay away from pink hair and large toothy smiles.

Of course, the first person to fuck up his plans is Itadori.

It’s Saturday night, and dinner had been a simple meal of rice, miso soup and some sides made by Itadori. He’s a really good cook, and the home food is such a welcome change from the bento boxes Fushiguro normally picks up from the convenience store. Sometimes, Itadori will drag Fushiguro into the kitchen to teach him a thing or two, and Fushiguro learns, and pines, and smacks Itadori when he says something especially idiotic. It’s routine. It’s nice.

Dinner was an hour ago, and now he’s just curled up in bed with his book. It’s shaping up to be a typical weekend, which is nice considering the number of missions they picked up last week. His bones are aching a little, his feet are slightly sore, and he knows he’s going to sleep like the dead tonight.

He hears the knock even though it’s a bit soft. Fushiguro sits up and cocks his head. Was he imagining it?

And then there’s another knock, more confident. Thud thud thud.

Fushiguro climbs out of bed, setting his book aside carefully. He stretches his hands over his head and walks over to the door. ‘Coming.’

He swings it open, and he sees pink hair and his heart just sort of beats out of his chest.

‘Hiya.’ Itadori’s smile is wide, trusting, and full of gusto. He holds a packet of chips in one hand and a laptop in the other.

‘What’s up?’

‘Are you busy?’

He should say he is. If he says he’s busy, then he doesn’t have to let Itadori in and he can continue with Operation: get over Itadori Yuuji. It’s the most logical move.

‘No, why do you ask?’ Well, apparently his brain has detached from his mouth.

‘Well, I overheard you telling Kugisaki that you’ve never seen the Saw movies and I realized something. Something terrible.’

Fushiguro tenses. ‘And what’s that?’

‘I can’t be best friends with someone that’s never seen Saw.’ Itadori pouts cutely, and Fushiguro is this close to just walking off the face of the Earth. He leans into the door frame, needing the additional support.

‘And I don’t want anyone else to be my best friend. So, the only solution is to make you watch Saw! With me! Like, right now.’

Fushiguro feels so much all at once- he wants to pull Itadori into a hug, he wants to jump off his balcony, he wants to slam the door shut and just cry, and he wants to watch stupid movies with this stupid man.

‘If you get crumbs on my bed, I’m going to kick you in the stomach.’

Itadori beams, and Fushiguro is a lost cause.

There’s a bit of adjusting (Fushiguro, your pillows are too hard, let me go grab mine) and a bit of remodelling (What do you mean we can’t make a blanket fort, that’s literally half the movie experience) and after relenting to a weird half-assed tent structure, the two of them huddle on the bed, backs against the wall, laptop placed on a chair by their feet with a bag of chips between them.

Saw is a terrible movie.

There’s gore and screaming and a creepy dude running around and it’s honestly just horrendous. The main character calls himself Jigsaw, and Fushiguro is tempted to flip the laptop after the hundredth blood spill. He looks over at Itadori who’s completely engrossed, eyes reflecting the colours and flashes of light on the screen. It’s cute, the concentration he’s pouring into it. His hand is stuck in the bag of chips and Fushiguro smacks it away to grab a few of his own.

Fushiguro does his best to watch and gets into it at least a little. It’s bad, but it’s not the worst way to spend a weekend night. He admits that a huge reason why the experience is kinda fun is that he’s doing something with Itadori that isn't life-threatening, which is a refreshing change.

The end credits start rolling and Itadori stretches his arms, fingers pushing through the droopy tent roof.

‘What did you think?’

‘I’ve seen worse.’

Itadori laughs. ‘I know what you mean. It grows on you though.’

‘There’s more?’

Itadori looks at him, blinks, cocks his head. ‘You didn’t know?’

Fushiguro shrugs. ‘I’ve never been a movie buff, so I have no information on this.’

‘Fushiguro.’

‘What?’

‘There’s 9 movies.’

Fushiguro’s mouth drops. ‘What?’

‘Yup, there’s nine in total, and the tenth one is in the making.’

‘Holy shit, that’s a lot of movies in one franchise.’

‘Yup. And we’re watching all of them.’

Fushiguro’s eyes widen. ‘What? No way. Nope. Not a chance. I can’t handle more of this, it was barely tolerable.’

‘It doesn’t matter! It’s the principle of the thing- you’ve started the series so you might as well see it through.’

‘9 movies? How can they possibly have enough content for that?’

‘It’s what they do. I promise it gets better and worse.’

Fushiguro sighs. ‘I’m not getting out of this, am I?’

Itadori pushes into his shoulder playfully. ‘Nope. I’m getting more snacks next time, let’s do two movies.’

Fushiguro sighs and runs a hand through his hair.

He’s really struggling to pretend like he’s upset with this development. He’s not upset. He’s honestly anything but.

---

Itadori comes back next Saturday with some blankets and a pillow tucked under one arm and a laptop in the other. He has a grocery bag with chips and sour patch kids hanging between his teeth and he still manages to smile. Fushiguro is so done.

‘Are you a dog?’ he grumbles, plucking the bag out of his face and setting it by the bed. Itadori gets to work immediately, setting up the pillows and his sad excuse for a blanket fort while Fushiguro brings a bowl for the chips and candy. Once they’ve settled in, Itadori starts the second movie and Fushiguro resigns himself to his fate.

It’s really not that bad.

The movie is whatever, Fushiguro tunes in and out, alternating between watching the screen and sneaking looks at Itadori. He’s as engrossed as ever, and the tip of his tongue is sticking out in concentration and it’s so cute it makes Fushiguro want to curl up in his lap and squish him.

He’s crushing hard. Like, really hard. It’s about the gayest thing he’s ever experienced.

The movie pushes on, and they start to get more comfortable. Itadori isn’t a talker, which is surprising and nice, but when the movie lulls, he does make a joke or two. They sink lower into the bed, and by the end of the movie, they’re firmly pressed into each other from shoulder to thigh, with the bowl of chips on Fushiguro’s lap and the candy in Itadori’s.

Itadori is really warm. Could be his natural body heat, could be the king of curses residing within him, could be Fushiguro’s imagination- who’s to say at this point?

When the credits roll, Itadori stretches again like a cat in the sun, groaning his satisfaction. Fushiguro rubs his temples and wills away his blush.

‘What did you think?’

‘Not terrible, but honestly, what the fuck?’

‘That pretty much sums up the franchise.’

Itadori loads up the next movie while Fushiguro stays in position, comfortable. When he’s done, he leans back and makes himself comfortable against Fushiguro’s side, head leaning against his shoulder, his cheek pressed against bone. He looks smooshed, and it’s ridiculous.

If he gave a single shit about the movie, he’d ask him to move because he’s so far gone now there’s no way he’d pay attention at all.

Fushiguro doesn’t say a word, just sends up a silent prayer that Itadori remains there, pushed into him and all up in his space, for the rest of the evening.

That’s exactly what he does.

---

Fushiguro’s feet are burning.

The soles are achy all over, tender and jolty. Any time he walks, he suppresses a hiss of pain. When he’d taken a look, the entire sole was an angry red, and he’s just so annoyed.

The week had been tough- tons of running around and multiple search and rescue missions and this one tenacious curse that he and Itadori had to chase for several miles before finally exorcising it. By the end of it all, his feet were burning like a low fire in the pits of hell.

Itadori is fine, as always. It’s probably an incredible combination of his own inherent athleticism and lord dipshit within him, but Itadori heals at an accelerated pace, and like, he came back from the dead. Sore feet would be nothing to this guy.

When Itadori knocks on the door as always, an hour after Saturday night dinner, Fushiguro just calls out, ‘Come in.’ He really doesn’t want to walk to the door, so he’d left it open intentionally.

Itadori struggles to open the door on his own, arms filled with so much stuff it’s overflowing everywhere, and that horribly lovely smile is still stretched across his face and Fushiguro is just so smitten it’s ridiculous.

Itadori throws a few pillows in his direction, places a frankly ridiculous amount of snacks at the foot of the bed, and starts building his fort. Fushiguro is yet to help him with this, to actually put in any effort and make it with him rather than just watch him with a bemused smirk, but part of him knows that if he joins in, he’s admitting to something. He’s admitting that he’s invested. That he likes this as much as Itadori, probably so much more. That he likes Itadori so much, it’s all-consuming.

Itadori gives him the laptop while he makes some finishing touches on the fort, and he’s gotten better over the last few weeks. The tent is less saggy, with more room to move around and its range is expanding. It no longer covers just the bed, it extends to his desk and is inching towards his closet. Itadori is taking over his room, his heart, his brain, his life. He keeps taking and taking and taking, and Fushiguro just gives him more, happily, heartbreakingly, with all the love and nonchalance and patience he can muster.

He’s so whipped he’s giving Kugisaki a headache. She’s told him as much, repeatedly.

He’s got the final Saw movie prepped and ready to go, positioning the laptop on the chair as usual. Itadori grabs the bowls and decants their snacks before sitting next to Fushiguro, his head automatically resting on the man’s shoulders. Fushiguro rests his head on Itadori’s soft pink hair, breathing in the scent of the shampoo Itadori always steals from Kugisaki, and muffles a laugh. It’s so silly.

They’re about mid-way through the movie (by movie 9 there’s no milking the plot, it’s them just beating a dead horse ruthlessly) when Fushiguro shifts his legs and his feet bump into the chair, and he bites out a yelp of pain. Itadori sits up immediately, eyebrows furrowed in concern.

‘You ok?’

Fushiguro waves him down, wincing. ‘Yes, yes, I’m fine, don’t worry about it.’

‘Did you stub your toe? That’s one of the worst feelings ever. And I’ve had my heart ripped out of my chest. And lost an arm. And I’ve been stabbed repeatedly. Amongst other things.’

‘I didn’t stub my toe. And also, what the fuck, are you ok?’

‘I’m fine,’ Itadori laughs easily. ‘Seriously, what’s wrong?’

‘My feet hurt,’ Fushiguro admits with a defeated sigh. ‘We’ve been moving about a lot, and after that pineapple fucker two days ago, my feet have just gotten really sore. I soaked them in hot water a few hours ago, I think I should be fine by Monday.’

Itadori eyes him suspiciously.

‘I’m not lying dumbass. I’ll be fine, don’t worry about it. Let’s just get this horrible movie over with.’

Itadori hums, turning back to the screen. A minute later, he looks over at Fushiguro.

‘Well, I’m going to apologize for this in advance.’

‘Apologize for wh- HEY!’

Itadori, with his stupidly inhumane strength, yanks Fushiguro’s legs off the edge of the bed and right into his lap. Fushiguro is now laying down with his head resting against the headboard, and he’s about to kick out when Itadori just digs his thumbs into the arch of his feet and Fushiguro narrowly stops himself from moaning obscenely.

He has died and ascended. His soul is no longer in this realm of existence. It has found peace. The meaning of life. Attained nirvana. He can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

It’s seriously that good.

Because Itadori is strong. He’s really strong, so his movements are sure and deep. His thumbs are pushing against the arch, into the heel of his foot, pushing into that junction where his toes meld into the sole, and it’s so damn good. Fushiguro squirms.

‘How are you- ah shit, right there -how are you so good at this?’

Itadori throws him an easy smile. ‘Used to massage grandpa’s feet all the time. Became an expert over time, especially because I had a lot of his nurses guiding me as well. Is it ok?’

Fushiguro tries to throw him a deadpan look but then Itadori’s thumbs just push into a particularly sore spot and Fushiguro’s eyes roll back into his skull. When he’s able to pull himself together, he looks at the pink-haired man, feeling breathless.

‘It feels great. If you tell a single soul, I will drop kick you.’

Itadori’s laugh is loud and boisterous, and it fills the room completely, saturates it with this feeling of ease and honesty.

‘This stays here, no worries. Like a Las Vegas thing.’

Fushiguro smiles at the stupid reference.

After a few minutes pass by, Fushiguro reluctantly starts pulling his feet away. ‘You’ve done more than enough,’ he starts to say. Itadori wraps his fingers around his ankles, holding him in place.

‘I can honestly do this for hours, it’s fine. You can see the screen, right?’ Fushiguro nods immediately. ‘So, let’s just keep watching. I’ll stop if I’m tired, ok?’

Fushiguro relents without a fight because it’s the most relief he’d gotten in ages, and Itadori is touching him and he’s weak in every possible way and he lets himself be. Just this once.

They finish the movie (thank goodness it’s over) and Itadori continues to massage his feet as they discuss what the 10th movie could possibly be like. They discuss theories and plot holes, and Itadori doesn’t let go, his hands inching up and massaging his calves as well, and fuck if Fushiguro’s going to stop him because it feels good. He’s gay and Itadori is hot and his fingers are actual magic- like, they put sorcery to shame.

When it’s well past midnight and Itadori yawns a few times, Fushiguro finally sits up, pulling his feet out of Itadori’s grasp. The pink-haired man lets his hands linger for as long as possible, and Fushiguro decides he’s just imagining it. Surely.

‘I kinda, I mean, I want to repay you for that. You massaged me for hours, you know.’

Itadori pretends to think for a second before breaking into a bright, 100-megawatt smile.

‘Well then, let’s watch more movies! Let’s just make this movie night! We can watch stuff you look up as well, we can watch anything.’

Fushiguro stares at him, stunned. He hadn’t been expecting that and truth be told, he was really sad the Saw franchise was over because he assumed that would be the end of this, and he was too shy to ask what Itadori was so easily asking him. To see Itadori so excited at the prospect of an actual movie night, with no end in sight, made his heart leap and throb and squeeze. It was incredible.

‘Deal.’ He keeps his voice level and his face neutral, but he can’t hide his eyes and Itadori reads him in a second and his smile softens. He knows him so well now, like the back of his hand.

Itadori bids him a soft goodnight, collecting his stuff and shuffling back to his room slowly. Fushiguro falls asleep quickly, and it's deep and dreamless.

He wakes up to painless feet. It’s a miracle in every single way.

---

When Itadori gently pulls his feet into his lap the next weekend, Fushiguro doesn’t bother protesting it. He just gives him a slightly exasperated sigh, a soft smile and hits play.

They’ve decided to pick up the How to train your dragon franchise this time, as a welcome change of pace.

‘What’s it about?’

‘Well, it’s honestly all in the title. It’s about dragons and Vikings and it’s funny and it has great music!’ Itadori lights up while talking about it, and his energy is so damn contagious. Fushiguro feels himself getting hyped. ‘I think you’ll like it. Especially since you have those cool Shikigamis, you might relate to this more!’

Fushiguro hums, and they watch. Fushiguro routinely pushes pieces of chips and sour candy into Itadori’s mouth, and Itadori’s fingers become well-acquainted with the planes and bumps and grooves of his feet, and the shape of his calves.

Fushiguro gets really into the movie.

Not only is the animation top-notch, but the voice actors are great, the storyline is gripping, and Toothless is so childish and sweet and endearing, his heart aches with love. He barely pays attention to Itadori this time. He seems just as invested, even if it’s the hundredth time he’s rewatching it.

To Fushiguro’s surprise, he chokes up at the end, after the big battle. The whole scene feels strangely familiar in some ways, and he tries desperately to hide his growing discomfort. He peaks over at Itadori and his eyes widen.

Itadori is swallowing hard, his eyes shining and glistening with unshed tears. His grip on Fushiguro is tight as hell, but not painful. He’s barely holding on, it seems.

So Fushiguro looks away, and lets himself feel. He doesn’t cry, but it’s damn near the same feeling.

Itadori’s knowing smirk is as annoying as it is stupidly kissable.

‘You seemed to enjoy that!’

‘It was decent. Much better than all the Saw movies combined.’

Itadori barks out a laugh. ‘Decent, he says. I saw you nearly crying through my own tears. And you were glued to the screen. Such a liar.’

Fushiguro relents. ‘Fine, it was really good. I’m hooked, and I cant wait to see the other 2 movies.’

‘You know I’ll be here.’

Fushiguro is helpless against his blush. He barely hides it in the crook of his elbow. Itadori’s fingers are still pressing into his feet and it’s all so much but not enough. His heart still aches.

‘And the next two movies are visual masterpieces. Can’t wait to get into it all!’

Fushiguro nods, and with the promise of next week, he sleeps just a little easier.

---

When Itadori pulls his feet into his lap three weeks in a row, Fushiguro decides it’s time he does more to repay the pink-haired man. It’s definitely not enough to just grace Itadori with his presence and with a weekly movie night.

So, when they come together to watch the third and final How to train your dragon movie, Fushiguro stands in his room, chewing his lower lip anxiously. He feels like he may have gone overboard, and he’s more scared of being found out by Itadori, about his feelings and his hopelessly ginormous crush and just how big of a complete and utter disaster he is than anything else.

Before he can take it down though, Itadori walks in after a quick knock and a shout of Pardon the intrusion but not reaaallllyyyy.

He walks in, snack bag in his mouth, arms holding way too much stuff, and gives Fushiguro a grin before turning to the bed to start his usual set-up routine. That’s when he stops dead on his feet, and Fushiguro at least enjoys the look of complete and utter shock on his face. The snack bag drops to the ground before Fushiguro can catch it with a loud thunk.

So, here’s a fun fact about Fushiguro- he can build insane blanket forts. No, really, you don’t understand, he could be mistaken for an architect because that’s how good he is. And the reason is a bit long and a bit complicated, but it mostly has to do with his sister. When they were left all alone in the world, sharing a small space just between the two of them, they would build blanket forts with all the stuff lying around the house, and within those sheets, they were shielded from the world and all its horrors. They did it for a long time, and it was their tradition. They got better at it over the years, learning what sheets worked best, what make-shift supports held things up at the right height, where to place the pillows.

The minute Fushiguro started to put the fort together, his muscle memory kicked in and took it from there. It brought forth some memories that made him choke up, but he focused on Itadori, and it helped. He adjusted the height to accommodate two growing boys instead of two tiny humans, and before he knew it, the fort had sprawled to encompass his entire room. He borrowed pillows from Inumaki and Panda, who were willing albeit slightly perplexed, and he grabbed Kugisaki’s fairy lights to really spruce things up. The weather had gotten colder, so he had also laid out his thick duvet for them to slip under, and the icing on the cake was the pizza he had ordered. Itadori always bought the snacks, so he wanted to pull his own weight. Also, they were active jujutsu sorcerers- they may have eaten dinner an hour ago, but they were always hungry. It was endless.

Itadori remains rooted in place, and Fushiguro starts to get nervous. A bit anxious. A bit scared. What if it is too much? Had he overstepped in some way? Or what if Itadori looked forward to building the fort and Fushiguro had taken that away from him?

Itadori slowly looks at him, eyes piercing and unreadable and bright.

And then he smiles. The world rights itself a little.

And he smiles big, huge, all-encompassing. Its lips stretched over white teeth and his eyes are crinkling in that really lovely way and the dimples are dotting his cheeks and its utter magic.

‘Fushi,’ Itadori gushes, almost breathless. ‘This is insane. How the hell did you do this?’

Fushiguro bites his lip. ‘You like it?’

‘Like? Fushi, dude, my man, my guy, like doesn’t begin to cover it! I don’t have better words cause I’m kind of an idiot, but it’s. Like. A+. 11/10. I’m so impressed right now.’

And now Fushiguro is smiling with him, stomach flopping around endlessly, and he’s young and in love and he doesn’t want to be anywhere else.

‘I also got pizza,’ Fushiguro gestures to the table behind him, picking the snack bag off the floor and placing it by the bed. ‘I wasn’t sure what you liked so I just got the same thing you ordered when I was sick.’

Itadori happily bounds over to the box and leans in for a sniff.

‘I love this stuff, it’s yum. And it’s still steaming, all fresh and hot.’ Itadori gives him a big thumbs-up. ‘This is so bomb Fushi, thank you so much!’

Fushiguro almost says No thank you, you’ve been doing so much for our movie nights and I wanted to show you how grateful I am for you and for all of this and I love you so please take my heart and just keep it, I really don’t need it, you know?

What he says instead is, ‘Not a problem. Shall we set up?’

And so, 10 minutes later finds them curled up in their usual spots, except this time they’re under the covers. Fushiguro places all the food between them, and Itadori alternates between massaging his feet (which he cleans meticulously before their movie nights because he doesn’t want Itadori to eat with dirty feet hands) and taking bites of pizza and smiling and laughing and choking up at the movie.

The trilogy ends and Fushiguro can honestly see why Itadori has watched this countless times. It’s just that good.

If Itadori hears him sniffle, he doesn’t say a word. Just squeezes his calf and runs his fingers from his knees to his ankles and Fushiguro realizes, in that moment, that a part of him will always belong to this man.

---

They don’t miss a single movie night for months. They’ve now finished the Saw franchise, the HTTYD trilogy, the Batman trilogy, and the entire Annabelle series. If Fushiguro didn’t hate dolls before, well, now the thought of them sends shivers up his spine. And he fights curses. For a living.

Life is weird.

They don’t miss a single movie night for months. Sometimes it’s Sunday night instead, or Friday. Sometimes it’s earlier in the day, in the afternoon maybe. Sometimes, it’s really late at night, so late that by the time they’re done, it’s already 3am and the world is silent. The world doesn’t exist beyond the walls of Fushiguro’s room, and he’s ok with that.

On those nights, Itadori stays over.

They curl up on his bed together, not quite touching but not quite not touching. It’s a single bed and they’re not small by any means. The touching is inevitable. Fushiguro wonders if any part of it is voluntary.

He learns that Itadori’s toes are always warm, unlike Fushiguro’s. He’s a surprisingly calm sleeper. His sleep-heavy voice is deep, and his sleep-heavy smile is soft.

They fall asleep facing away from one another, they wake up spooning or being spooned. They don’t say a word. And they don’t stop.

The night that they finish the latest Annabelle movie, Itadori looks insanely freaked out and Fushiguro doesn’t blame him. That shit’s creepy as hell.

The problem is that it’s only 00:14. Too early for them to call for a sleepover unprompted.

Itadori’s got Fushiguro’s legs in his lap, and he’s pursing his lips as if deep in thought. Fushiguro thinks fuck it.

‘Do you want to stay over?’

The relief flows off Itadori in waves. ‘You’re an actual lifesaver, you know that right?’

Fushiguro smirks, and they throw snarky comments back and forth between them as they get ready for bed. Itadori brings his toothbrush and they clean up side by side, fighting for the mirror. They take the fort down methodically, like a well-oiled machine, and they curl up under the duvet, touching but not quite touching, facing away from one another.

15 minutes later, Fushiguro feels Itadori curled around him, legs tangled and arm carefully slipped over his middle. He feels him shake, and he can taste the hesitation and he knows Itadori will move away soon because they both know they’re both awake.

He moves his hand lower and places it over Itadori’s. He squeezes it once, and moves it away, and evens out his breathing. He feels himself drifting off, and the last thing he feels is Itadori’s arm curling around him just a little tighter, holding him just a little closer. The air tastes less hesitant, more hopeful.

It’s wonderfully frightening.

---

They don’t miss a single movie night for months. Until one day, they do.

The thing about Sukuna is that he’s the King of Curses, Lord Asshat extraordinaire, and an overall terrible being. Not only does he reside in Itadori rent-free, he also chooses when to heal him and when to watch from the sidelines as blood gushes out of wounds that are near-fatal. Itadori’s pain tolerance is impossibly high, but that doesn’t mean he can’t feel pain.

Itadori feels everything. He feels so much, so willingly, so wholeheartedly. He’s a feeler.

And so, when one of their missions go haywire (as always), Itadori risks his life for his classmates (as always), and is left on the verge of death (as always). The only difference being he doesn’t improve. At least not at that inhumane pace that he always does.

He’s not dead, but he’s not in the world of the living either. He’s drifting somewhere in between, and Fushiguro feels like he’s drowning. He can’t get enough air; he can’t see beyond the murky waters that are darker than ink.

Fushiguro is in the in-house hospital on campus and he rarely, if ever, leaves Itadori’s side. The incident took place on a Tuesday and it is now Saturday. Itadori’s vitals are stable, his heart is in his chest, beating, and his blood is circulating and oxygenating him.

He does not wake up, he does not speak, and he does not smile.

Something in Fushiguro’s chest cracks.

People come by to visit all the time. Nobara brings snacks and chats with Itadori like he’s ok, like he’ll respond. Only Fushiguro hears the tremor in her voice. Maki holds back from smacking someone in a coma, vowing to get him good when he’s awake for doing something so monumentally dumb. Gojo flits in and out as often as he can, and he always squeezes Fushiguro’s shoulder with a tightness that eases his chest just a little before leaving again.

After dinner on Saturday, Fushiguro decides to do something.

He lets himself into Itadori’s room- messy but not sloppy, and simple. He finds his laptop on his desk and charges it for a bit before taking it back with him. He doesn’t set up a blanket fort, simple loads up a Christopher Nolan movie that they’d decided on last week and lets it play.

He holds Itadori’s hand the entire time. It doesn’t squeeze back.

The crack in his chest widens.

---

He’s not there when Itadori wakes up.

Gojo had pushed him out of the room to go take a shower and grab a proper meal and maybe even take a nap, and Fushiguro had relented to two of the three- showering and eating. With a belly full of terrible convenience store food that could never hope to hold a candle to Itadori’s meals, Fushiguro slowly makes his way back to the infirmary when he hears voices. One voice, in particular, stops him in his tracks.

‘How are you feeling?’

‘My mouth tastes like ass.’

It’s one of the first things Itadori has said in a week and a half, and something between a laugh and a sob gets stuck in Fushiguro’s chest. He moves to yank the door open and throw himself at Itadori when he hears-

‘Where’s Fushi?’

‘Oh, he went to take a shower, clean up a little, all that.’

‘Ah. I see.’

Fuck, he sounds disappointed.

‘Don’t look so upset.’ Gojo teases. ‘He hasn’t left your side since you got hurt, you know?’

‘Really?’

Gojo hums. ‘He’s here all day. He tried working for a day or two, but his head wasn’t in it, so we forced him to sit out for a bit. He’s just been keeping you company here, reading, fretting, pining.’

Fushiguro wants to punch Gojo.

Itadori barks out a laugh. It sounds loud and forced and not very happy.

‘Don’t tease me about that sensei. That’s cruel, even for you.’

‘What are you talking about?’

‘You know what I’m talking about.’

‘I want to be sure. I’m not a mind-reader you know. So tell me,’ Gojo urges, ‘what are you talking about?’

Itadori sighs. It sounds exhausted more than pained. ‘I’ve liked him since the day we fought the curse and saved my senpais. It’s cruel for you to tease me about a one-sided crush.’

Fushiguro is suddenly numb, hot and cold everywhere, and his head is spinning, an echo of ‘I’ve liked him I’ve liked him’ just bouncing around his brain endlessly. He has to force himself to concentrate or risk missing out more of the conversation.

‘I mean, why do you think it’s one-sided?’

‘Are you kidding me? He’s so out of my league, I can’t even think about it. He’s so. Just. Everything good in this world. And he likes dogs sensei, what more could I want in a person?’

Fushiguro’s vision is just swimming and he wants to smother Itadori in a hug and protect him forever. His feet are taking longer to respond to his brain though.

‘I don’t think that’s true,’ Gojo sings, laughing. ‘My advice would be to not give up. You’d be good for each other, you know? Also, he’s really not all that perfect. Trust me, I’ve known him since he was a child. This one time, during the spring festival, he-‘

‘Itadori, you’re awake?’

Evidently, his self-preservation instincts had bypassed his brain and forced his legs to move at near inhumane speed. God bless instincts.

Itadori is sitting up, and he looks a bit frail but the color in his cheeks is steadily returning. His eyes widen in surprise before his mouth twists up in a grin so wide Fushiguro is worried he’ll break his face. His eyes are molten, watery, and brighter than the sun.

‘Hi Fushi.’

For once, Fushiguro doesn’t give a two shit flying fuck that Gojo is in the room and will hence tease him for the rest of his life, he just walks over to the bed and gathers Itadori into a hug and holds him there, pressing his warmth into Itadori. There’s the beating of his heart, the rise and fall of his chest, and the smile on his lips pressed into Fushiguro’s shoulder.

The world rights itself on its axis, just a little more.

‘Idiot.’

Itadori’s muffled laugh makes him grin, and he pulls away. He rearranges his face in a scowl.

‘I told you before if you die on me-‘

‘-you’ll kill me yourself. I know, I know. I’m here Fushi, you don’t have to become a murderer. It’s a good day.’

Fushiguro lets his face morph back into a grin before looking over at Gojo. His teacher’s smirk tells him everything- how he knew where Fushiguro was, how he’s seen right through Fushiguro, how he’s going to tease him till the day either of them die. And Fushiguro wants to be annoyed and pissed off but he can’t bring himself to care, not right now.

Itadori’s heart is beating in his chest, and he smiles at Fushiguro, and his cheeks are tinting pink.

Fushiguro’s heart is full.

---

‘Sorry I missed movie night.’

Itadori’s apology is so stupid Fushiguro nearly gwaffs, but that’s undignified as fuck so he settles for a cough and a withering stare.

‘I mean, it’s not like you were in a coma or anything.’

‘You know what I mean! But anyway, I’m here now, so let’s pick up where we left off.’

‘No, we’ll have to move on to the next movie. We watched that one last week.’

‘Huh?’

Fushiguro looks at him, prays he isn’t seven shades of red. ‘Well, I thought maybe if we had a movie night at the infirmary, you’d feel better. Where you were. Especially if you were dealing with lord fuckwad. You know?’

Itadori stares at him in awe and chuckles softly. ‘You’re something else, you know? Just when I think I’ve got you all figured out.’

Gojo’s word reverberate around his skull and Fushiguro just clears his throat. ‘Yeah, well, I’m all about surprising people. Woohoo.’

Itadori bursts out laughing, and they go back to setting up the fort, the pizza, the snacks, the lights, the laptop. It’s easy and familiar and nice. They settle into the mattress, but Fushiguro doesn’t let Itadori take his feet this time, opting to press into his side instead. Itadori barely puts up a fight.

They’re roughly 8 minutes into Interstellar when Itadori asks, ‘How did you set up the movie in the infirmary?’

Fushiguro hums, ‘I grabbed your laptop and put it on a chair to your left. I sat on the right. I sat by your bed and I…’

‘And you?’

Fushiguro should be nervous but he’s not. He’s surprised by how not nervous he is.

‘And I did this.’ He laces their hands together, eyes trained on Itadori's.

It’s like looking at a bowl of liquid amber. His eyes are light brown, bordering on gold, and they’re mesmerizing when you’re this close. He doesn’t look away from Fushiguro, his breath doesn’t stutter, he doesn’t jerk away. He squeezes Fushiguro’s hand with his right one and slowly brings up the left. He rests it on Fushiguro’s jaw, soft skin meeting calloused fingers and there’s a heat building under Fushiguro’s skin that makes him feel that same hot and cold sensation everywhere.

‘I’m going to kiss you.’

Itadori’s voice is deeper than Fushiguro’s ever heard it, low and spicy and sure. His hands are gentle and confident.

Fushiguro doesn’t nod or say Yes or blush.

He just brings his right arm up, wraps it around Itadori’s left wrist and leans in, bringing them together in what is possibly the softest touch of lips ever, in the history of the universe.

It’s not hesitant, it’s just new. And all-encompassing. And maddeningly good. And soft.

Itadori’s breath hitches and he leans his head, slotting their lips together better and Fushiguro is humming because fucking hell is this good. There’s no tongue, just pressure and nips and small licks and bites. By the end of it, Fushiguro is smiling into Itadori’s smile, and he’s kissing it and nuzzling it and he’s drowning in the best way possible.

Itadori finally pulls away, after several small kisses, and does that beaming smile that makes Fushiguro’s stomach do really terrible things.

‘I can’t believe all this happened because of Saw.’

Fushiguro’s smile shrivels away in a heartbeat and Itadori is laughing and snorting, the bastard.

‘Itadori Yuji.’

More laughter.

‘I swear on all that is good and pure, if you tell people we got together because of Saw, I will dump your ass so hard you won't be able to sit down for weeks.’

Itadori laughs some more and presses his giggles against Fushiguro’s lips and dammit he’s so weak and gay.

Itadori’s hand slips down his jaw and cups the back of his neck and he pulls him close, pressing their foreheads together.

‘We both know that’s not true.’

Damn it. He really does know Fushiguro like the back of his hand.

And so he does the only thing he can think of- he kisses him again. And again. And then some more, just because he can.

The movie remains forgotten, and frankly, they couldn’t care less.

Thank you, lemonheads

The alarm did not go off at 7 am since it was Saturday, yet your eyes have been wide open for about one hour. The sun rays brought light on the ashy winter sky and you lazily shifted in your bed to check the time. How is it only 7:47 while I feel I’ve been laying here forever? You asked yourself in a deep sigh before you threw away the blanket and sat up on the edge of the bed. A life-saving decision you had taken the night before when you braided your hair, for not a single molecule in your body was able to deal with those shoulder-length thick curls after you wasted your night staring at the ceiling. Your body has developed a habit to wake up around 1 am for no particular reason and have you losing your mind over it. Usually, you managed to fall back asleep quickly, but that night between Friday and Saturday you just couldn’t. No one was online on any social media platform, you knew it would take you more time than available to pick one of the thirty million shows that you wanted to catch up on and you didn’t want to fuck up your night completely, so you forced yourself back into slumber. But now it was morning, your eyes tired and your body heavy.

With your mind set on still having a wonderful free weekend, you rummaged through the cabinets in the lovely apartment you had been thrilled to finally afford, in a futile attempt to grab a bite. You breathed deeply while counting down from ten after finding exactly half of a package of Lemonheads and some leftover seafood on a plate in the fridge. The initial plan was abandoned with the calamari as you headed for the bathroom, knowing for a fact that a nice scrubbing session during a dangerously hot shower will whoosh away all the fatigue and annoyance.

Fresh smell, moisturized gleaming skin, proud dark-brown eyes staring at you from the mirror made you put on a cheeky smile and leave the bathroom barefoot. One step into your bedroom and your stomach almost shouted at you. Ah, I do gotta eat something. McDonald’s it is, then. You were quick to agree to yourself and also to get dressed and leave the house. It has been snowing for a few days so the pavements were covered in a dense layer of white wonder, which made you decide to walk to the breakfast provider, instead of driving there. It wasn’t that far and you also loved the city landscapes.

The neon-yellow combat boots contrasted considerably with the red coat and drew the attention of the entire crowd inside McDonald’s, including one specific young man that was sitting alone at a table in the back. He watched your silhouette walk by a group of boys that didn’t even try to mask their reaction to your looks as you headed to the line to place your order.

“Even I know that it’s not nice to stare,” Sukuna talked all of a sudden, startling poor Itadori and causing him to sink his head deeper in the hood.

“Shut up, someone could hear you,” the boy whispered, looking down on his tray to avoid being heard by other customers.

“Is that the girl you’ve been going on about lately?”

“What girl? There’s no girl. What girl?” Yuuji panicked a bit, the heart racing in his chest letting Sukuna know he was right. Again.

“It’s not that hard. Just go there, what the fuck are you so scared about?” The otherwise thoughtless demon cared to push his host up on his feet.

Swallowing his anxiety along with the gallon of saliva in his mouth, Yuuji left his table, threw the sandwich’s wrapping paper in the trash bin when he passed by and stalled in your proximity on his way out. He just wanted to see you better than he could do it on the high school corridors in the lunch break, but blame it on the coincidence theory, that was the exact moment some Lemonheads slipped from the pocket of your black cargo pants when you pulled out your phone. That was a chance he was not willing to sacrifice. He dropped in a squat, picked the wrapped candies and smiled at you.

“I think you dropped these.”

You turned your head in the direction of the familiar voice only to find the cheerfully grinning pink-haired boy that you could’ve sworn you would fight anyone for.

“Hi. Oh, yes, thanks,” you replied in a pretty much measured tone and grabbed the candies from his palm.

“I’m Yuuji, by the way.” The shot was fired and his blood started boiling under the tension of his mind analyzing all the possible ways you could’ve answered to him. You could’ve laughed, whooshed him away, cringed at his boldness, pulled away or even cut his words. But he did not expect you to shake his hand, with a big smile plastered on your face.

“Alex here. Hi. Do you wann-” the number of your order appeared on the big screen and you paused your question, “-be right back at ya,” you smiled at Yuuji and went to the lady waiting with your bag.

As soon as your eyes got away from his face, Itadori let out a brief silent sigh and filled his hoodie pocket with his fists. This is good. I can do this. What if I ask her out? He was deep in thoughts when a lady shook his shoulder. “Young man, are you ordering, or just blocking the line?” The “I’m tired of you teenagers’ attitude” look on her face disturbed Yuuji and he left the spot, joining you at the front desk.

“Wasn’t you supposed to tell me you were out of the pancake meal? Why did you take my money then?” You tried really hard to hold back some yelling, but a vein on your forehead was definitely popping out.

“What’s the matter?” The boy asked, stopping next to you.

Pure sarcasm on your face when you looked from the staff girl to Yuuji. “I shall be starving to death today.”

“Miss, we can give you something else for the same amount. My colleagues weren’t awa-“

“Just give her a refund. We’ll be fine,” Yuuji stepped in and had both you and the other girl confused.

She gave your money back a bit half-hearted, and truth be told, you were feeling like that too, not only because you were hungry, but man, you loved the pancakes and the bacon and the eggs.

“Where are we going?” You asked, following Itadori out the restaurant after he motioned you to do so.

“I always wanted to try this food, instead of the usual fast-food.”

You had no idea what he was talking about, nor where he was leading you, but your guts weren’t agitated. There was something about that boy that screamed “safety” in your ears. The trip to the unknown food place he was taking you was short and you didn’t really get the time to make any small talk. Yuuji turned his body to face you, suddenly spreading and lifting his arm high up, a cheeky grin on his face when he exclaimed, “I present you ‘Gyros’, my new obsession.”

The fact that no word came out of your mouth as you stood in front of him, with your eyes blinking quickly, wiped Yuuji’s smile away. His confidence took a hike when his hands dropped from the air, where they were pointing at the ‘Gyros’ sign. “Should we just go back to McDonald’s?” He asked, rubbing the back of his head and frowning bashfully, not only because your glare fixed him, but also because Sukuna was laughing powerfully inside his mind.

“You. You have no idea where you just brought me,” your voice sounded more serious than you intended, so you giggled on purpose to loosen the tension because Yuuji looked like he was about to pass out from embarrassment. “Boy, relax. I was kidding-“ you barely held back a laugh, “-this is not my first ride with Gyros,” you finished and rested your palm on his shoulder. The pressure in his chest got released once he realized your playful attitude and he redirected his attention to placing an order he was about to pay for entirely.

Food hits differently at the standing tables and so do conversations. There you were, eating one of your favourite foods, chatting with your newest pal and enjoying the view of the tall city buildings that surrounded you. Once he found comfort in your presence, Yuuji opened up and he appeared even cuter to you than he did before. His eyes would gleam when you found his stupid jokes funny and his loud laughter would join yours when you gossiped like two best friends. The cutest thing about Itadori that you found yourself adoring was that he closed his eyes every time he bit on the gyros. You allowed a discreet smile to form on your lips as you admired him and he wasn’t aware of it. No matter how big of a portion you would’ve bought, it couldn’t take you an eternity to finish up your plate. You actually finished yours sooner than the boy, to steal a few more seconds of watching him perform such an automatic and usual activity as eating because he looked so precious doing it.

“Here, help me up.” Yuuji’s voice pulled you out of your daydreaming just as swiftly as the fry that he pushed into your gaping mouth. You chomped on it instantly and caused Yuuji to laugh at your confused face. “Listen, are you busy today? I was wondering if we could wal-“

“Yes, let’s go,” you answered almost instantly, chugging the rest of the Sprite in the paper cup and grinning back at Yuuji who was once again flustered.

The boy’s face flushed red and he smiled at you right before wiping his lips with a napkin and gathering all the food wrapping. “Where do you want to go?” You asked, watching him have a brain glitch for having to wipe his hands on his pants because he has thrown away all the tissues.

“I was thinking of arcade games, but we don’t have to if you don’t want to, I mean…” Yuuji suggested in a low voice causing Sukuna to roll his eyes aggressively. You are even dumber than I thought, brat. The poor boy shook his head to get rid of the voice and by doing that he missed your reply.

“Hey, did you hear what I said?” You shouted, thinking that he didn’t hear you because of all those car horns on the street.

“Yeah, no, sure. Of course, we can do that instead.”

“Bruh, you’re damaged!” You shouted again and started laughing. “I said I will destroy you in the arcade,” you continued, still full-on laughing, the slight touch of your hand on his arm sending him your cheerful vibes.

“If you say so, let’s test it.” Yuuji caught some courage and sped up the pace. “Can you run in those?” He pointed at your boots and chuckled when you threw him a very offended look.

“Excuse you, I can beat you to it!” You accepted the challenge and sprinted away from Yuuji. His light-brown eyes widened in surprise and he started running.

No, you did not win the race. He was already inside RedLine VR when you managed to arrive at the doorstep, barely catching your breath. “I-… I need- … whoa… where did you get that stamina from?” The mock-neck long-sleeved top was practically suffocating you.

“I don’t know. Guess I’m gifted.” Again rubbing the back of his head bashfully, that boy could not be cuter. Or so you thought.

He led you inside the place and even helped you take your coat off as you cracked your knuckles in preparation for beating Yuuji’s ass up in video games. The coloured light from the video game’s display reflected in your gold hoop earrings as much as they reflected in your wide-open gleaming eyes. His eyes spent more time taking in the shape of your face and the colour of your skin more than they did on the actual screen. You unknowingly made him bite his bottom lip when you let out a different type of chuckle. You wanted it to sound devilish, but it didn’t come out quite like that.

Imagine her moaning with that voice, Sukuna busted in Yuuji’s mind, his own rather full of your image, and caused a deep blush on the kid’s face. It was annoying how much affect you had on Yuuji, and he tried to not look at you like that anymore.

Itadori was good at sports, not games, and you won countless rounds leisurely. Each time you shouted your victory, you clapped your hands in delight and made a funny face to Yuuji. He faked slight envy at first, his pathetic whines giving Sukuna a real headache, but eventually, your general happy state made the boy smile. If somebody observed him, they would’ve figured it out in one second that you completely entranced him. As funny as it was to see him struggling to fight you for the first place in the game, you grew bored of the arcade and suggested you went somewhere else.

“Do you want to go to a park?” Yuuji asked, his mind quickly mapping the area for the closest park.

Too many people around, huh? An evil chuckle hit the corners of the poor boy’s head and he tried to keep his secret hidden furthermore.

“A park sounds good, Yuuji. Can I call you Yuuji?” Only after you said it out loud, you remembered about the Japanese courtesy and, feeling a bit weird, you made yourself busy with putting your coat back on.

“Yeah, sure, you can call me Yu-,“ “Daddy,” his voice was cut off by Sukuna’s who whispered loudly enough for the teens around you two to hear.

“YUUJI!” He tried to mask the demon’s voice and covered the mouth on his cheek instantly. “You can call me Yuuji.” He swallowed hard and then smiled as if nothing happened.

“You’re weird, but cutely,” you said with a cheeky smile as you made your way out the room.

He followed soon after scolding his so-called co-inhabitant and walked by your side, between you and the busy road. You took your time walking to Winnemac Park since it would’ve been too much of a bother to take the bus for only one short station. Once inside the park, you felt like the world around you changed: there was undisturbed snow everywhere, Sun was slowly going down and it was silent. Your romantic side emerged and you hung your hand on Yuuji’s forearm. Your affection was electrifying, and even if he didn’t see it coming and hadn’t prepared for it, the boy accepted it gladly by sticking his hand in the hoodie big front pocket, to help your hand rest better on his arm. Fifteen minutes of walking through town have been filled with school gossip, laughing and “get-to-know-you-better” stuff, but as the cold settled down, you both became quieter.

“Hey, look.” You left Yuuji’s side by a couple of steps and you squatted down to grab something from the pavement.

“Wha-“ Boy didn’t stand a chance against your mischievous snowball attack. “Oh, you did not!” He laughed and leaned to the side to gather some snow for his part of the game.

The war was set into motion. Yuuji found it admirable that you managed to dodge many of his shots even while you almost choked on your own laughter. He loved to see you smiling and having a good time, especially because it was due to his actions. For a second, he got lost again in your smile and the snowball that you threw hit him right in the face. The hand he held a snowball in was frozen above his head, as he had prepared to throw it at you before falling in trance. He had no reaction whatsoever and it worried you a hell lot.

“I’m so sorry, Yuuji, are you ok?” You rushed closer to him and wiped the snow off his face with gentle and burning hands.

When his eyes opened, you hated yourself for falling into that old trap. His arms circled you abruptly and he intended to make you fall in the snow, but you proved more agile than he thought and you escaped. Your freedom didn’t last long, though, for he tackled you. Only, he didn’t see that you have reached the margin of the sidewalk and you would’ve fallen on your ass if it wasn’t for his strong grip. He looked astonishing towering like that over you, and not only the situation was somewhat hot, but you also hated to see him win the fight. One of your legs jerked fast and cut Yuuji’s balance, making him fall over you in the snow. Light-brown eyes met dark-brown ones and the imminent sparkle tied your insides in a tight knot. His face was so close to yours that it had you imagine what would happen if you kissed him right then and there. Yet, none of you two moved a muscle, except for the throat muscles who kept gulping timidly.

Alex and Yuuji are in a tree. K-i-s-s-i-n-g! Sukuna’s words echoed in Itadori’s mind and they added to the closeness between your face and his, making him blush deeply. He stood up slowly and helped you on your feet too. Again silence as each of you cleaned the snow off of yourselves, avoiding the awkward moment.

“So, what now? I’m not cold anymore.” You snapped out of it and gave your best to look as normal as before in front of him, even if your stomach had a watermelon-sized hole inside.

“It’s getting late and I don’t really know the city that well at night. You want me to walk you to a bus station or something?” He asked, barely holding his composure in front of you while Sukuna yelled in his mind nonsense like You’re a chicken. A loser. Fucking lame-ass, stupid motherfucker. You could’ve kissed her. You should’ve kissed her! I should’ve taken over the control and kissed her right there!

“Sure. I don’t live far from here actually, you can walk me home if you want,” you suggested, hoping that he won’t interpret it the wrong way.

The weather became surprisingly harsh after sundown and your little coat didn’t do much in protecting you. Instinctively, you neared Itadori more, lured by the warmth his body radiated. As you balanced your gravity centre from one leg to the other, constantly moving your hands to try to keep them from freezing, your hand brushed against Itadori’s, which was hanging loosely by his body. He definitely felt it because you saw his jaw clenching, but he didn’t bring it up. So you did it again.

Oh, man, she’s got balls bigger than you, Sukuna mocked his host and then proceeded to laugh. You’re not gonna do anything about it?

Your ring and middle finger brushed the side of Yuuji’s hand softly as you two continued walking. When his pinkie interlocked with yours, you were no longer cold. The hole in your stomach filled with butterflies and you could feel your heart pounding against your chest. You hated yourself for being that flustered and weak, but from the way his other fingers circled your hand, you knew the feelings would only get more intense. The dark fell rather quickly and you found yourself squeezing Yuuji’s hand, to which he chuckled.

“Are you afraid of darkness?” He asked in a low tone, caressing the back of your hand with his thumb.

“L-lol, no,” you stuttered a bit but smiled as you looked up to Yuuji, who was just teasing you with a gentle look in his eyes.

The way back home is always shorter and you reached the front door of the building you lived in with a lump in your throat. It was time to let go of his hand and maybe, who knew, let go of that moment too. You didn’t know much about Yuuji other than he was a foreign exchange student, who came for who knows how much time in Chicago, he liked Gyros as much as you and he had a lot of running stamina.

“Well, this is where I live, so… see you at school?” You asked sheepishly, slowly growing aware of the blush on Itadori’s face that was now visible because of the street light close-by.

Do it, brat. Do it now. Don’t be a pussy.

“Listen, Alex… Today has been a very nice day and I’m glad you dropped your candies.”

You scoffed at his hilarious confession and attempted to pull your hand away from his, but just as before, in the park when he caught you, Yuuji’s grip remained firm. “No, let me hold it a bit more,” he whispered, taking a step closer to you.

JUST DO IT ALREADY! You’ll thank me later. Sukuna could hear all of Yuuji’s thoughts and feel the desperate hollow in the boy’s chest. He couldn’t take Yuuji’s reticence anymore. Black marks began appearing on Yuuji’s cheekbones and chin and as soon as he sensed his conscience being ripped from him, the boy shouted. “Ok, ok, I’ll do it!”

“Uhm, I didn’t ask you anything… What’s wrong?” You squeezed his hand once more as you tried to understand what was just about to happen to his face and why he screamed like that.

“Ignore that. It-it’s a long story and I’d rather not tell it now,” Itadori released your hand and stared at you dead in the eye. “How mad would you be if I kissed you right now?”

Your face caught fire. Your ears were burning and your stomach was doing front flips. You barely got to whisper anything before Yuuji’s palms grabbed your cheeks and he slammed his lips on yours. They were soft and warm and he kissed you so slowly that it had you melting in his arms. Your own lips parted to welcome him just as hungrily as your hands tugged at his hoodie to keep him close. He pulled back, eventually, and you smiled at each other in the surprise of what just happened. His forehead leaned on yours and the way you burst into laughter made Yuuji laugh too.

“I hope I didn’t ruin today…” he whispered, rubbing your cheeks with his thumbs, but not parting from your figure yet.

“I can’t wait to see you again, boy,” you cooed, stealing another peck from him before you turned to enter the building.

You barely walked up the stairs with a grin splattered on your face and increased heart rate and once you entered your apartment, you slid down your door and laughed alone for a couple of minutes. That just happened and you were there and he was there and what’s gonna happen now? In the same way, Yuuji called himself an Uber and got inside with palms sweating and a happy frown on his face.

“Finally taking my advice. She was too cute to waste, man. If you didn’t take the chance, I would’ve.”

“Sukuna shut the hell up. I kissed her first.”

word count | 3.2k

form | oneshot

originally posted | 30 December 2020

author's note | i really wanted to make a joke about sukuna having 2 dicks but unfortunately there was no opportunity to. also i did all that research about heian period courtship and what did it amount to? like 3 sentences

He met Fushiguro's eyes, and balked slightly at their intensity. They always seemed to bore right through him, as if his skin was glass and Fushiguro interested himself more in what lay underneath. Not that there's anything he cares about in there.

"You're not hurt, are you? I did push you kind of hard."

Yuuji shook his head quickly. "No, I'm fine." He tried to set his mouth in a neutral line, like Fushiguro so often did.

Fushiguro nodded curtly, and turned to leave, back to where Ijichi was waiting with the car. Yuuji's fingers twitched.

yuuji doesn't know how to talk to fushiguro. sukuna "helps."

Fushiguro sure looks nice today.

Yuuji sighed and looked away. He really needed to focus on the mission. There was a grade 2 curse somewhere on the premises of this abandoned building, and if he kept staring at Fushiguro, he'd probably get—

"Look out!" Yuuji was only briefly aware of the curse's presence before he was aware of concrete, a dull throbbing in his side as he realized Fushiguro just saved him — again — and was busy siccing his Divine Dog on the curse that appeared while he was distracted.

This is embarrassing, he grumbled to himself.

You've got that right.

Yuuji did his best to tune out Sukuna's voice as he got up and into battle position. Fushiguro seemed to have the situation under control, so he focused on cleaning up the lower-grade curses swarming around them.

Something flickered at the edge of his perception. This time, he wouldn't be caught off guard — Yuuji launched himself at the curse on the other end of the room, intercepting it before it had the chance to so much as look at Fushiguro.

"I didn't need your help for that one," scoffed Fushiguro as his Divine Dog slunk back into his shadow. "Honestly, I could have done this alone. Don't know why you insisted on coming."

Yuuji bit back a retort. "I need the experience, right?"

"You're not hurt, are you? I did push you kind of hard."

Yuuji shook his head quickly. "No, I'm fine." He tried to set his mouth in a neutral line, like Fushiguro so often did.

Fushiguro nodded curtly, and turned to leave, back to where Ijichi was waiting with the car. Yuuji's fingers twitched.

Movie night was usually somewhat less stressful than fighting a curse. Usually.

The film was something Yuuji was pretty sure Gojo-sensei had found at the very back of the clearance shelf. The DVD store probably paid him to take it off their hands. It wasn't even so bad it was good, it was just bad.

Kugisaki had fallen asleep somewhere in the middle of the opening credits. At first, he'd been a little confused and concerned for her health — it was only 6 pm, after all — but sneaking a peek at her phone screen when it lit up intermittently afforded him all the clues he needed. Kugisaki had been texting Maki-senpai, probably for a while, and probably all night.

Her phone screen lit up again — they were a few hours into the movie, and surely Maki realized she wasn't going to respond, right? Yuuji strained his eyes and recognized the thumbnail of what could only be described as a cursed image. Is that a floating banana? What the—

Something stirred in his chest. Jealousy? Why? Because Maki and Kugisaki had only been texting for a couple of weeks, and they already shared inside jokes that made Kugisaki laugh like a hyena in the middle of the night? Because they never needed to ask, to confirm, before sharing something — a word, a bag of chips, a seat, a jacket? Because when Kugisaki looked at Maki, with that vulnerability in her eyes that she always disguised with harsh words and thinly veiled threats of violence, Maki looked back?

Yuuji couldn't stop himself from looking at the other person on the couch with him. Fushiguro looked like he was going to cry of boredom. Or punch someone. Or both.

Should I switch the movie? I don't think he likes it.

Well, Gojo-sensei picked it. He would probably be offended.

Yuuji looked around. His teacher was conspicuously absent. No way! He's the one who forced us all to watch this shit, and he just leaves before it's over?

"Hey, um…" The question was past his lips before he could stop himself. "Fushiguro, is there something you'd rather…" Yuuji already knew what his answer was going to be. There were plenty of things Fushiguro would rather be doing, let alone watching. Reading a book, for one. Alone.

He received only a vague shrug in return. "Do whatever you want."

Yuuji found himself staring blankly at the floor. An oppressive silence blanketed the room, even with the vague sound effects and poorly dubbed dialogue coming from the TV.

This is torture. Say something already.

I would if I could, okay? Unless you have any better ideas.

That managed to shut Sukuna up, at least for a moment. Good. All that was left was to sit through the last scenes of the movie and go back to his room and scream into his pillow.

Yuuji could feel his forehead flushing and his eyes starting to burn. Oh, no no no no no. Why is this so awkward? At least Fushiguro can't see anything since all the lights are off. Or maybe he can see in the dark, like a vampire? Come to think of it, he is pretty pale… He's probably not saying anything to be polite. I bet he can see everything. I bet he's reading my mind right now with that stupid look of his.

"I need to go to the bathroom," Yuuji said, a little louder and a little higher than he intended. Fushiguro only raised an eyebrow at him and went back to watching the screen.

As soon as he was out of the dorm common room, Yuuji sucked in a breath of air.

"Coward."

This time, the cold voice he was so used to hearing came from the back of his hand. Yuuji didn't have anything to say in response. If he did, it would only be in agreement. How pathetic of him.

"You're damn right that it's pathetic. It's a miracle you can even stand up straight, given your lack of a spine."

Yuuji was almost at the door to his bedroom.

"I'll help you, just this once."

He froze. Since when did Sukuna help with anything?

"I don't believe you," he muttered.

An eye opened on his hand just to roll itself at him. "I'm the one who has to listen to your self-deprecating monologues, and I'm getting sick of it. Just tell him how you feel, brat." Sukuna's disembodied lips curled into a smirk. "If you don't, I will."

"No way!" Yuuji whisper-shouted. He practically sprinted into his room and, in the absence of a lock, pushed a chair behind his door to grant the illusion of privacy. But Sukuna wasn't done yet, and the next time he closed his eyes, Yuuji found himself ankle-deep in what he really hoped wasn't blood, and looked up a pile of ox skulls at the last person he wanted to hear romantic advice from.

Sukuna absentmindedly picked at long, black nails. "Why don't you switch with me? I'll be sure not to embarrass myself, so don't worry about that."

"That's kind of creepy. Aren't you like, a thousand years old?" Yuuji wrinkled his nose. "Do you just want him all to yourself?"

Sukuna made a face. "Oh, that's disgusting." He made a retching sound, like a cat coughing up a hairball. "Imply that again and I'll kill you in your sleep."

Yuuji was, at the very least, thankful that the murderous curse sharing his body had standards.

"Now the image is burned into my brain. Look at what you've done, brat." Yuuji only recognized the sensation of being cut into pieces and immediately restored because of how many times his conversations with Sukuna had ended that way. Still, he stumbled a little at the sudden disorientation.

"Hmm." Sukuna tapped his nails on a skull. "Brat, what have you been educated in?"

"Huh? Aren't you the one who complains about having to sit through my algebra classes? You already know what I'm educated in. Um," Yuuji furrowed his brow. "I took piano lessons when I was 8? Not that I was any good at it."

Sukuna sighed. "I don't care about your algebra or your piano lessons. I mean your courtly skills."

"Uh."

Yuuji heard the creaking of bone, and he was met with two pairs of blood-red eyes suddenly before him.

"Calligraphy? Poetry?"

"No…?"

Sukuna leaned in closer. "So, nothing then? You know nothing?"

Yuuji pushed him away. "Um, you've seen my handwriting."

"Kids these days." Sukuna clicked his tongue. "How standards have fallen."

"You know, a lot of things have changed between now and when you were alive. For one, there's this new thing called personal space."

The curse ignored him. Yuuji blinked and saw the ceiling of his dorm room, back at home in his body.

Do you at least have a brush, then?

No, weirdo. I have a pen, if that's good enough for you.

Tch.

Seriously, how are you this far behind? I thought you were starting to get this modern era stuff.

I am trying to salvage the situation you've put me in, brat. How will you write a letter to him without putting care into your calligraphy?

Nobody said anything about a letter!

This is how it was done in my time. You certainly don't have any better options.

"Fine, I'll Google it then," Yuuji mumbled. He opened his laptop, his fingers hovering over the keys. Slowly, he typed out "how to tell someone you like them."

The advice was all very vague. It was awkward enough to admit to himself that he liked Fushiguro in a way that went past friendship. It was worse that Sukuna's eye was wide open on his cheek and reading everything he did, reminding Yuuji somewhat of a teacher hovering behind him in the computer lab and reading over his shoulder.

"It says you should give him a gift. I have an idea." Yuuji didn't want to hear Sukuna's idea. "You should give him the carcass of a beast you slew yourself." Yuuji didn't want to hear any more of Sukuna's ideas.

"Sukuna, have you ever actually done this before? Because I don't think that would work, even if it was a thousand years ago."

"Why would I need to do such a thing?"

That was a little surprising. "Well, you sounded so confident, I thought you had experience or something."

"Love is a fruitless endeavor. The only thing that matters in this world is the spilling of blood upon the earth, and everything that comes between. But you're so annoying that I decided to stoop down to your level so I could help you. You should be grateful."

"Stoop down to my level? What, is this wounding your pride?"

"My pride isn't something so easily scarred. Hearing your constant chattering, all revolving around that Fushiguro boy, is much more painful than condescending to help you."

"What's with the flowery language all of a sudden?"

"You really are uncultured."

"Well—"

The sound of someone knocking at his door startled Yuuji out of his carefully constructed comeback, laced with a few choice words he'd learned from Kugisaki the last time she stubbed her toe.

"Itadori? The movie's over." Oh fuck. "You left your phone on the couch." The doorknob rattled.

"Uh, just a second!" Yuuji slammed his laptop shut and dragged the chair out of the way before opening the door.

Fushiguro blinked. "Itadori, were you watching po—"

"Nope! No, I wasn't," Yuuji said, fully aware that every word he spoke only cemented that conclusion in Fushiguro's mind. "I'm just going to take my phone now. See you tomorrow!"

Yuuji grabbed his phone and made a move to close the door, but Fushiguro caught his wrist. His grip was firm and cool to the touch.

"You've been acting strange lately. Did something happen?"

"I'm fine," Yuuji said automatically. His lips had probably memorized the shape of those words by now.

"No, you aren't." Fushiguro's grip tightened a little, as if worried that Yuuji would try to snake out of it. I could try. I'm stronger than him.

"Itadori, look at me."

Shakily, Yuuji turned. Blue eyes met hazel. He felt naked somehow under the spotlight of Fushiguro's penetrating gaze. Oh god, that sounds so wrong. I don't want to think about that, not now.

"Is it something I said? Or did something else happen to you? I want to know."

(It had nothing to do with anything Fushiguro said, and everything to do with what he didn't.)

Itadori. I need you.

"I said I'm fine."

"And I said you're not." Fushiguro sighed a little and closed his eyes. The flutter of his eyelashes was distracting. "I'm worried about you."

Fushiguro? Worried about him?

"Why?" Yuuji knew it was a stupid question, but he was feeling pretty stupid at the moment. "Why would you do that?"

"Why—" Fushiguro's grip on Yuuji's wrist loosened in surprise. Yuuji twisted himself away, ready to cache himself in his room, but Fushiguro caught the sleeve of his hoodie instead. Worse, he stepped inside and uncomfortably close to Yuuji.

He could already feel his face turning red, and this time he couldn't rely on the cover of darkness.

"You're seriously asking me why I worry about you?" Fushiguro's voice didn't sound quite as even as it usually did. Yuuji didn't let himself hope it was concern. "You died in front of me, Yuuji. I… I had nightmares about it for months. Of course I'm worried."

He didn't know if it was Fushiguro's sudden use of his first name, or the quiver that accompanied it, but Yuuji's blood froze. He couldn't move even if he wanted to.

Fushiguro positioned himself in front of Yuuji, and placed a steadying hand on his shoulder. His sapphire-blue eyes, normally so cold and distant, glittered with repressed tears. Yuuji stared at his lips instead. They looked so soft. Fushiguro had been biting them again; they were slightly flushed and raw in some places.

"Please." Fushiguro was barely whispering now, his words only meant for the two of them. "I don't…"

I don't want to lose you again.

Yuuji opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know where to start. How could he claim insecurity now that Fushiguro had been so vulnerable with him? His anxieties suddenly seemed very small and pitiful in the face of the burden he'd saddled on his friends. It was his fault that Fushiguro was close to tears now, when he could face curses on his own without a flicker of fear. Dark, thick shame sat heavily in his throat, and all he could do was gasp for air.

You should take off your shirt.

Indignation replaced guilt in one swift motion. I am not taking off my shirt.

"Sorry, Fushiguro." The apology was too quick, too shallow. "I'm sorry. For… everything." The back of his throat stung. "I'm sorry for bothering you. Please, just…" Just go. Just leave me alone.

Just leave me to die.

"You don't have to worry about me."

It's only going to hurt you in the end.

"I'll be f—"

Fushiguro grabbed him by the back of the head, subtracting from the distance between their faces. "How many times are you going to say you're fine? Is it so hard to believe that I care about you?"

Don't say it.

"Is it so hard to consider that I—" Fushiguro's voice broke. A gentle flush crept across his neck as he seemed to realize how close their faces were.

Yuuji's vision blurred around the edges. Time crawled to a standstill, and there was nothing but the slope of Fushiguro's lips, trembling with words unsaid. Yuuji could hear his heart beating in his ears. He wondered if Fushiguro could hear it too, and if he felt some small comfort in knowing that the heart he had seen torn from its body and discarded like offal had been restored, and that it could beat and bleed and break again.

"Would you just kiss him already?"

Yuuji would have liked to think Sukuna had kept that comment for his ears only, but the way Fushiguro reeled back and turned beet red confirmed otherwise.

"Your purple prose is getting on my nerves. I think I preferred it when you couldn't string sentences together." The lips on his cheek curled. "Honestly, if you had just taken your shirt off like I said, this would have been over already. I should have done it for you."

"What do you have against shirts? Haven't you ruined enough of my hoodies?"

Fushiguro cleared his throat. "Um."

Yuuji's face burned. "Oh. Uh. Sorry about that."

"What is it with you and apologies? You don't have to be sorry for everything." But Fushiguro was laughing. His mask had cracked, or perhaps he removed it himself.

Yuuji couldn't help but smile. "I'll stop being sorry when you stop acting like you don't need anyone."

Fushiguro's face darkened slightly, as if wrapped in a shadow. "Is that what it was? I—"

Yuuji punched him lightly in the arm before he could apologize. "You're so emotionally constipated."

The tiniest of grins played on Fushiguro's lips. "So…" He leaned in closer. "What was that about kissing me?"

And this time Yuuji leaned into it, letting Fushiguro take everything he had. His eyelashes, still wet from almost crying, brushed against Yuuji's face as they breathed each other in. Yuuji found himself clinging to him like a lifeline, as if any moment he might slip away.

I'm not going to leave you behind.

He was laughing and crying at the same time. "I never thought you liked me back," Yuuji gasped when he broke away for air.

Fushiguro traced his thumb under Yuuji's eye. "You really are dense, you know that?" "So I've been told."

Is this what I was looking for?

Yuuji melted into him, kissing him like a drowning man gasps for air. How could he have deluded himself into thinking he was alone? How, when Fushiguro's body fit him like a puzzle piece, and they were embracing each other like they had never been separate?

You're welcome. Brat.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"You know, I thought you'd at least notice all the times I was staring at you," Fushiguro mumbled sleepily. Their rhythm had slowed and now Yuuji was small and limp in his arms, playing with a strand of his hair.

"Nope. Not even once." A sea of drowsiness threatened to engulf Yuuji, but he stubbornly resisted, if only to stay with Fushiguro for a moment more. He suppressed a yawn.

"Gojo caught me watching you train once. He tortured me about it for a week." Fushiguro chuckled softly. "Um, he takes a lot of pictures of you. If you ever find a really blurry photo of you sparring in my room, that's why."

"Mm-hmm." Who knew Fushiguro was so warm?

"Hey."

Yuuji's gaze flickered up to Fushiguro's eyes. Oh, he thought. They're so open. I can see right through him.

"I'm here. Okay?"

I'm not going anywhere.

"Okay."

Neither am I.

And there was nothing but Fushiguro's breathing, and the heaviness of sleep, and the weight of words unspoken between them.

Note

i sat down carefully, stumbling a couple of times before i could see straight. my hand released my shoulder as i watch the blood trickle down my hand and arm. "'m sorry honey, didn't mean to make you worry. i just couldn't think of anyone but you after the fight." i apologize, averting your gaze once you bent down to find the kit.

sukuna forms a mouth on my cheek, being summoned by your call. "okay, okay. it was halfway my fault. the kid was getting picked on by a few down-grades so i put them in their place." he starts, "if they're makin' fun of the kid, they're makin' fun of me. i didn't think down-grades could have powerful impacts; so when i was distracted by one, the other asshat came up behind me and scratched the shit outta' my arm." sukuna disappeared from my cheek and then appeared on my right hand, which I held up lazily to show his mouth to you.

"they ran away like the pussies they are, but once yuuji took over the body again, all he thought of was coming back here and making sure you were okay; even though you had nothing to do with anything." he scoffs, making a eye appear above the mouth to look at you. "i fuckin' hate romantic shit, but this kid's crazy about you. you got a good one." sukuna disappears while i blink furiously to regain sight.

- y. itadori.

"I'll always worry about you." I said with a tired sigh, digging out a curved needle and surgical thread," There's not a day that goes by that I don't, baby. What would I do if you got hurt even worse, or even got killed? I couldn't live with myself." Plucking out gauze, disinfectant, and medical tape from the kit I closed it up and tossed it back under the sink. Washing my hands again I dried them and tore open a package of gauze, dousing it in disinfectant. "Promise me you'll go to an actual doctor tomorrow."

Moving around you I sat on the bathtub's edge and began cleaning around your wound. I was as gentle as I could be, still fuming a bit that you came here instead. Thinking on what Sukuna had said about the fight and the injury and everything else I puffed my cheeks and finished up as quickly as I could. "When I'm done you're going straight to bed to rest. You've lost too much blood." Of course that was obvious. I'd have to do some quick research on helping someone whose lost a lot of blood as I wasn't sure.

"You're strong, Yuu, but you need to learn that sometimes escape is the best option." Standing and going back over to the sink I washed my hands again and tossed the bloodied gauze away. Opening my medicine cabinet I grabbed the bottle of ibuprofen wnd shook some out into my hand, holding it out to you as I filled the cup by the sink with water. "This is the only thing I have for pain. It won't do anything right away or stop the pain from the needle but it'll help with the aching after." Offering you the water as well I watched you closely.

Arthur: "?!!!" *runs into the hall* "Fear not, my love! I will save you!" *runs out...forgetting his towel* tamaki: e- O////////////O *covering herself* OH GOD DAMMIT!! Arthur: "...What?" Tsukiyo: -_- "You people are pathetic..." *removes her towel, steps into the hall* "There. Now you aren't embarrassed alone~" patron: O-O Arthur: o_______o *massive nosebleed* patron 2: what the hell? Akitaru: "...We are so screwed, aren't we?" Takehisa: "Yep." shinra: *hides* -later- tamaki: Q////Q Arthur: *covering his face* Tsukiyo: "Well, that makes the fifth place I can't go back to..." maki: *pap pap* fang-hua: im just glad kabuki pulled through for us. Akitaru: "Yeah, thanks. I'm sorry for Tamaki and Arthur. They have pretty bad luck..." tamaki: TT//////TT Arthur: "..." *hesitates to pat Tamaki's shoulder reassuringly* tamaki: i should have myself blessed at the shrine. im getting desperate... Arthur: "We can go tomorrow...if you want..." tamaki:...i would like that. Arthur: *small smile* -elsewhere- Patty: *peeking over the couch* liz: *reading* Patty: "...SURPRISE GLOMP!" liz: ah! haha! XD Patty: *tickles her, then kisses her cheek* "Love you, Sis!" liz: *hair ruffle* hehe. Patty: *hug* "Good reading, Sis?" liz: yeah. Patty: "Hey, we still up for Thanksgiving? I can't wait to put together a mean pumpkin pie!" liz: actually, i'll be with wes, but we can have our own dinner, ok? Patty: *pouting* "Okay...So, is Wes going to pop the question or something?" liz: O///////O well, im going to be meeting his parents. (thinking: which i can imagine will go sooo smoothly...) Patty: "Aaaaaaaand why do most people have someone meet their parents?" *eyebrow wiggle* liz:........ O/////////////////////////////////////O Patty: *pats her head* "Don't worry--I'll make sure to give you away. But if Wes hurts you, I'm gonna rip his balls off." liz: ok...thanks for the reassurance. Patty: "Hee hee!" *lays down, letting her head rest in her lap* -elsewhere- Rino: *wearing gloves and a mask over her nose and mouth, having just scrubbed the bathroom* T_T "This job sucks, Miss Gabriella..." gabriella: yeah, i guess it would stink. Hibana: "Less talking, more cleaning! I want this bathroom spick-and-span for Shinra when he gets back, and for Iris now!" Iris: -_-; "Commander Miwa?" miwa: hmm? *eating toast* Iris: "What do you do when one of your subordinates is misbehaving...like Sister is?" miwa: squeaky hammer of judgement. *pulls out a squeaky hammer* Iris: o__o "...That is so adorable!" miwa: yep owo Iris: "...Want to hit Sister with me?" miwa:....there's only one hammer though... Iris: "..." *puppy dog eyes* miwa:....have at it you little cinnamon roll. Iris: *smiles broadly* "Thank you!" *takes the squeaky hammer, runs towards the bathrooms* "Oh, Sister~" Hibana: "Ye--" *BONK* *BONK* *BONK* Rino: "?!!" gabriella: AHHHHH!!!!! IRIS WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Hibana: *trying to run away* "AAAH! Iris?!" Iris: "Stop trying to move out the Commander *the Commander's item!" *BONK* "And stop abusing your new hired help!" *BONK* Hibana: *hides behind Gabriella* Q_Q -elsewhere- Kid: *purring* stocking: so cute~ Kid: "I feel better now..." stocking: im glad to know~<3 Kid: *cuddles* "We...are good together." stocking: we really are....im glad you're in my life, kid. Kid: "I as well...I want..." stocking: hmm? Kid: "..." ("No, not now...not yet") *smooch* "I wanted to do that..." stocking: mmmmm~ Kid: *cuddles* "I grow more in love with you each day. And I can't wait to love you so much more the next day. And a month from now. And a year from now...and longer than that." stocking: *kiss* i love you too. so much. Kid: *hugs, letting his head rest along her stomach* -elsewhere- Arthur: *looking up at the sky, seeing the Moon...* shinra: *asleep* Arthur: "..." ("Tamaki...I...I want to...") serina: oh, you're still awake, mr boyle? Arthur: "Oh...Yes. Sorry. Did I wake you?" serina: no...did you need someone to talk to? Arthur: "...I was just thinking about someone I...care about." ("I...I love...") serina: ah. i see. Arthur: "...A while ago, I was hurt, badly. I was without my friends, without my power...defenseless. But I had one thought while held captive..." serina: oh? Arthur: "...That I wanted to return home, and return to her." serina: *listening* that would be...tamaki, right? Arthur: -\\\\- "I'm that transparent, huh?" serina: well...n-nevermind. Arthur: "??? What is it? Tell me." serina:....the hot spring incident- >.>; Arthur: o\\\\\\o "Um..." ("...Tamaki...She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen...") serina: what is it about her that you like? Arthur: "Oh...Um..." *blushing, trying to think of something other than seeing her today* "...She is so driven. So adamant." serina: *listening* Arthur: "She left the 1st, knowing something was wrong. She refused to go back. I admire her. Regardless the rules, her orders, there is one thing that Tamaki values more than that: justice." serina: ah, i see...i dont know much about the 1st, i've only been there occasionally... the only one i really know from the 1st is father li. Arthur: *nods* "The priests are...inscrutable. But in my experiences with Li, I can respect them. Burns...not so much." serina: .... Arthur: "When I first met Tamaki, I kept looking at her. This clutzy girl, always crashing into someone, breasts-first into their face, or losing her pants..." *small laugh* "I remember how ferocious she was, chasing Shinra around when he accidentally groped her...She looked so...powerful." serina: i see.....poor girl, having so many accidents... {past!tamaki: YOUR ASS IS GRASS YOU LITTLE SHIT!!} {past!shinra: HELP SHE'S GONNA KILL ME!!} Arthur: *nods* "Yes. But she doesn't let those embarrassments hold her back. She keeps going, keeps trying, faces us all everyday...She is so brave, so confident." serina: *she nods* Arthur: "I...love her." tamaki: *outside listening* *blush* Arthur: *looks up again at the Moon* "...Serina? Please don't tell Tamaki I said any of this. She has so much to think about that...I don't think the time is right. Or will be." serina: perhaps someday... and i wont say anything. tamaki: *sneaks back to her room* (thinking: arthur......*remembering their kiss* .....) .//////. Arthur: "...I'll be accompanying Tamaki to the shrine, then. I hope it brings us both luck we have not had..." serina: i see. well best of luck. good night. Arthur: *nods* "Good night." ("Tamaki...So powerful. So just. So...beautiful.") -early morning- Akitaru: "...Do I wear a tie? Does someone wear a tie when meeting someone from the 7th?" maki: i dont think so. tamaki: we're going to the shrine now, good luck with the meeting. padma: misora's still asleep...honestly, that girl... Takehisa: "...Hmm..." Arthur: *waves to the others* "Later." *follows Tamaki* fang-hua: are you ready to go? shinra: yeah. -elsewhere, in a room- ???:....mmhmm...ok...hear you loud and clear mr manager~<3 -back with the 8th- Hibana: *smooch* gabriella: hehe~ -back in asakusa town- Akitaru: *following Fang-Hua* "Thanks for doing this for us." fang-hua: its no problem. well, here we are. best of luck, ok? shinra: im sure we can handle this. Akitaru: *nods, as he pushes open the curtain to Benimaru's office and enters--* Benimaru: "Go. Away." shinra: *cold chill* Akitaru: "Um..." *clears his throat* "Commander. We are here--" Benimaru: "You come uninvited." *nods to Fang-Hua* "Show them out. Now." fang-hua: commander... kabuki: perhaps we should hear them out before judging them? Akitaru: "Were we to have contacted the Fire Council first? No, of course not. We knew you, the 7th's Commander, Shinmon Benimaru, doesn’t like boring procedures." Tsukiyo: "So, they skipped the middle-man for your benefit, Commander~" :3 Benimaru: "..." Benimaru: "Hikage, please stop tugging on my sleeve like that." hikage: but im so boooored! Benimaru: "...The adults have to speak." *points at Shinra* "You. Go play with Hikage and Hinata." shinra: ok then. hikage: XP *runs off* shinra: h-hey come on! fang-hua: *sweatdrop* Takehisa: "We came here to discuss who is--" Benimaru: "Transforming humans into Flame Beings. Yes, I know." maki: yeah, we were hoping you'd help form an alliance with us to find the white hoods and 'preacher'. Benimaru: "...We in the 7th keep to ourselves." Tsukiyo: "Well, not that much to ourselves--" Benimaru: *throws a mochi at Tsukiyo's head* Tsukiyo: *pouts* fang-hua: not now tsukiyo -_-; Benimaru: "We make no alliances with other Brigades. That is my honest opinion." maki: oh come on, the least you could do is give us a chance! -at the shrine- hinata+hikage: *hiding behind the donation box, giggling* Arthur: *doing a small prayer* shinra: come on you two, where are you? honestly.. tamaki: *also praying* Arthur: "..." *risks opening an eye to look at Tamaki* ("...She's so...") shinra: *looking around* ???: oh, hello. shinra: *turns to see a woman in an unusual uniform* kirei: you're from the 8th, right? shinra: um yes ma'am...i was looking for two gi- hinata+hikage: kirei-nee-chan! *they hug her* kirei: hinata, hikage, good to see you. *she smiles* Arthur: *continues to pray...* ("May I...May I find...May I please be with...") tamaki: oh! you were passing out charms the other day! i got a few of them, could you give me some extra blessings? kirei: ah...well, i could give you this. *gives her a charm* hopefully it brings you luck. tamaki: thank you so much ma'am! Arthur: *small smile* shinra: ......oh, hey arthur. Arthur: "Hey." -BOOOOM- shinra: ?! tamaki: what was that?! kirei: !! *holding the twins close* Arthur: "An explosion?!" kirei: wait here, the commander will handle this... -at the 7th- maki: what the hell was that?! -screams can be heard- Benimaru: "Fang-Hua, what is going on?" fang-hua: i dont know- solider: a flame human has appeared sir! Benimaru: "..." (steps outside, sees the smoke coming) "Who is the victim?" soldier: that noisy old coot, kantaro. Soldier #2: "Get water, quickly!" Benimaru: "..." *pushes Akitaru aside to reach the exit. Outside, he pulls down his right sleeve* "Soldier, have you evacuated everyone?" soldier 3: all civilians have been evacuated, sir! Soldier #2: "And we marked the location with matois!" Benimaru: "..." *pulls down right sleeve, raises his matois into the air* "Let's start this party!" *he reels back, throws his matois into the air...and as it descends, it ignites, crashing into a building and destroying it* Akitaru: "?!!!" *The building's crash sends a shockwave felt all the way to the Shrine, where Shinra, Tamaki, and others are* maki: woah! tamaki: *keeping steady* woah! shinra: !!! you guys alright? kirei: we're fine, it was just the commander. shinra: ?? Arthur: "The Commander? What?" Soldier #2: "Heck yeah, Benimaru! Make it loud!" *Benimaru spots a soldier emerge from the wrecked building* Soldier #4: "Benimaru! Wrong building, sir! You wanted that one, over there!" maki: what the heck?! padma: can he even afford this kind of damage? Benimaru: "...Yeah, yeah, I'm going." *he pulls out another matois, takes a step forward--and leaps high into the air, spotting Kantarou's actual location* Akitaru: -_-; "And they say we cause property damage..." maki: just what the heck even is that? that's really insane how he can do that! kabuki: *looks at konro* do you want to tell them or should i? Konro: *nods to Kabuki* "You explain..." *removes his coat, revealing his skin already ashing...* kabuki: commander benimaru is rare case, being able to use the abilitys of 3rd generation ignition and 2nd generation control, being able to freely create flames and control them. maki: you say that like 3rd gens cant control their own fire *sweatdrop* Akitaru: "Three different ranges of ability...No wonder he's called the most powerful member of the Fire Brigade Alliance..." maki: still sounds kinda OP... Tsukiyo: "?!!! Watch what you say about Beni-hottie!" tamaki: that blast was pretty intense, will we be safe? Benimaru: *spots Kantarou* "There you are, Old Man..." Arthur: "..." *takes her hand* "Let's get in the doorway: it's more fortified there. Shinra, grab the children!" kirei: *she nods* there's protective charms around the shrine to ward off the after effects of benimaru's messes. Benimaru: "SOLDIERS! THROW YOUR MATOIS UP TO ME!" soldiers: seiya! seiya! Benimaru: *he holds his matois and, as he descends, throws his down at Kantarou, which causes the other matois to follow to their target* *The matois destroy more buildings around Kantarou, not hitting the target himself* ???: *watching* ahhh... Kantarou: *ROAR!* fang-hua: need any assistance, commander? Benimaru: *lands next to Fang-Hua* "Evacuate more, and--" Kantarou: *ROAR!* *rushes at Benimaru* Benimaru: "?!!!" fang-hua: commander! *throws firecracker* ~dance of the dragon carp~ -the firecracker lands at kantarou's feet- kirei: *praying for kantarou* ashes to ashes.... Kantarou: *confused grunts, shriek* Benimaru: "..." *marches up to Kantarou* "Shh...Shh...It's okay. Old man, the city is destroyed...You may release all your anger!” Kantarou: *calmer...then a shriek and lunges at Benimaru* kirei:....*ringing the bell* fang-hua: commander!! Benimaru: "Huh...Noisy as ever..." *slams his open hand through Kantarou's chest* "You've done a good job, Kantarou..." -the bell continues to ring- Kantarou: "..." *calmer* "...M-Maaaaaaster?" *lays a hand on Benimaru's left shoulder, leaving a scorch mark* "Thank...you..." *Kantarou's body dissolves, burning ash fluttering through the air* -the bell continues to ring- Benimaru: *sadly watches the body evaporate* Akitaru: *watching Benimaru* maki:...... shinra: is it...over? Arthur: "..." *still holding Tamaki's hand* Konro: "It is done..." *gasps, as he clutches his chest* kirei:...yes. excuse me. *she exits* kabuki: konro? Tsukiyo: "!!!" maki: ?! Tsukiyo: "Get him back to the medical ward, now!" *picks him up, leaps to the office* Benimaru: "..." *enters Kantarou's abandoned restaurant, where he sees a tray of daifuku* kantarou's son: d....dad.... Benimaru: "???" *spots the son* "..." *approaches* kantarou's son: *sniff sniff* Benimaru: "..." *notices the scorch mark on his cloak, left by Kantarou* "..." *leans down to the son, and hugs him* kantarou's son: *crying* Benimaru: "..." *silently holds him, letting the son cry* kirei: *entering* ......it's ok, toshio. your father is still with you... *she hugs him* Benimaru: *watches, nods* Akitaru: *looking around* "All this destruction..." shinra: *running to them* did...did commander shinmon do all this? fang-hua: yeah... maki: long story. Akitaru: "Shinra! Are you all okay?" shinra: yeah, tamaki, arthur and the kids are back at the shrine. sister kirei went off somewhere, but- Old Woman: "Oh, my. I see our Prince of Destruction is at it again!" *chuckles* shinra: prince? Old Woman: "Benimaru-chan. He certainly makes quite a racket, huh?" Akitaru: "You call...this destruction...just noise?" *looks to Shinra* shinra:.. yeah, we could feel it all the way at the shrine... Old Woman: "..." *sadly smiles at one destroyed building* "That one...That one was my house." shinra: im so sorry ma'am! we can help rebuild it- Old Woman: "Of course it can be rebuilt. We here in Asakusa would gladly give up our homes, if we may give solace to those tormented souls, like poor Kantarou..." shinra: ...... Old Woman: "The Sun God destroys with Their flame. There is one thing that unites all humans: we die. And since we're going to die anyway, what's wrong with losing a house now and then? If it can bring peace to Kantarou, to let him know there is nothing left here to destroy, that he has no need to fear harming anyone, so be it. And Shinmon Benimaru..." *Old Woman points to Benimaru, comforting the son* Old Woman: "He may destroy. But he is also very gentle." shinra:..... Akitaru: "The 7th is one of the most powerful Brigades. Their ways differ from our own, but in the end, we all have the same goal..." shinra: and kirei? Old Woman: *nods* Akitaru: *looks to Fang-Hua for an explanation as to Kirei* fang-hua: she's one of the sisters of the asakusa shrine. she provides blessings and makes peace with the lost souls. i guess she and the commander are balanced, in a way. Old Woman: "One destroys, one rebuilds." shinra:.....*looks at them* (thinking; looking at them together, they almost seem like twins...) Benimaru: "...Kirei...Bring out the fireworks." kirei: *she nods and exits with toshio* come along, you and your mother can stay at the shrine for a while... *Soldiers set down their matois and begin to generate flames that sail into the sky--and explode into fireworks* Takehisa: "Hmph. It's like Matsuri...What a way to give a funeral to Kantarou..." fang-hua: *setting off her own fireworks, creating very impressive displays, almost like pictures* shinra: woah! that looked just like a dragon! fang-hua: well, that would be my second gen ability making it move. Tsukiyo: *sends up a firework, in the shape of a bunny* Arthur: "...Can you make one like a cat?" tamaki: *flustered* ???: *watching from the shadows*....that destructive power.....its so cool...~<3 Tsukiyo: "..." *smirks, as she transforms her bunny firework into a cat one* "Here you go!" ???: "Easy, there...Patience." tamaki: wow. Tsukiyo: "I see your boyfriend likes cats, too~" padma: what about the damages? tamaki: oh shush. -_-# Tsukiyo: *giggling, before patting Tamaki's bottom* tamaki: HEY! *shinra had to hold her back from ripping her head off* Akitaru: "..." *takes off his coat* "8th Brigade! Assist the 7th with all repairs!" Takehisa: *picks up a nail gun to start construction* -someone appears- misora: *yaaaaawns* padma: well it took you long enough! misora: sooorry~ i had to get my beauty sleep for beni-chan~ *winks* Tsukiyo: "Come on, Arthur! You can help me with welding!" Arthur: *pulled away* o\\\\\o Benimaru: *approaches Shinra* "What're you all doing? This is 7th Brigade work. Butt out." shinra: oh come on, at least give us a chance to prove ourselves! Benimaru: "You can prove yourself by leaving us al--" misora: KYAAAAA~! BENI-CHAAAAN~<3 *tries to glomp him* Benimaru: *side-steps, dodging Misora, who crashes into...* *grope grope* tamaki: GET OFF! DX< Akitaru: "...Tamaki, please stop bonding with your colleagues and get to work." tamaki: >n< serina: *setting up a medical station* Arthur: *too busy focusing on welding to notice Tamaki* Konro: *grunting* "I'm fine. This is really unnecessary..." serina: still, some people may have gotten injured. Benimaru: "..." *glances at Shinra* "Fine. Get to work rebuilding these houses. And don't screw it up." *marches to medical facility to tend to Konro* shinra: you got it. *takes a log and flies up* Benimaru: "..." ("...Impressive...") "Konro, lie back. I will tend to your injuries myself. Serina, please tend to the other patients." serina: alright. Konro: *calms down as Benimaru tends to him* Akitaru: *doing heavy lifting to move debris* maki: *lifting a log* hyah! Soldier #2: "Wow! Amazing work, Soldier !" maki: thanks! Soldier #3: "Hey! Hot Foot! More wood up here!" shinra: got it! Soldier #4: *gawking at Tamaki* tamaki:...what? Soldier #4: "Do all the girls at the 8th dress like you do? 'Cause if so, I'd love to transfer--" -PUNCH- fang-hua: no. -_-# Soldier #4: x___x Tsukiyo: *holding the beams for Arthur to weld, as she leans down for a view down her chest* "Here you go, Artie~" soldier 5: what the fuck oshima, she's just a kid! Arthur: *too focused on welding to notice* "Thanks. That's a big help." Tsukiyo: *pouts* "...Jerk." tamaki:....*twitch twitch* i dont like her. Oshima: x________x Akitaru: *passing by Tamaki* "Don't worry. See? Arthur isn't even looking at her." tamaki: and im not a kid! i'm quite mature for my age, plus i drink milk! *pouts* fang-hua: (thinking: just like a cat...) Oshima: *sits up* "Yeah! And that milk has helped you look really mature for your age!" Akitaru: "..." *body-slams Oshima* "No." tamaki: do you want to try dying once? shinra: *sweatdrop* (thinking: maybe we should have brought nozomi to keep tamaki in check...) Oshima: x______x "Contact Benimaru-chan. I need a death prayer for my soul..." serina: there you go sir. Akitaru: "Tamaki, help lift those logs to bring to the builders. Shinra, I could use a hand with these tiles." old man: thank you miss.... tamaki: alright. *cat tails them up* shinra: right! Arthur: *stops welding when he hears Tamaki flame on...watches her...* Tsukiyo: *pouts* ("Why isn't he looking at me?") hinata: tsukiyo-nee-chan's a skank! hikage: a total skank Tsukiyo: >-< "YOU LITTLE SHITS! I'LL KILL YOU!" Benimaru: *tending to Konro* Konro: *smiles at Benimaru* "Those people in the 8th...They aren't half-bad." Benimaru: "They aren't half-good either." fang-hua: how's konro? Benimaru: "...We're running out of medicine, Fang-Hua. When does the next shipment of anti-Haibyou medicine arrive?" fang-hua: it should be here by tomorrow afternoon... Benimaru: *nods* "Okay...You're going to have to do with just this dosage tonight, Konro..." Konro: *nods* "Thank you, Master." Benimaru: "...Don't call me that." serina: i can take the next patient now. Tsukiyo: *chasing after the Twins* *screeching bunny noise* hinata + hikage: WAAAH! Patient #1: "Heal me, Mistress!" Patient #2: "I need your loving touch!" serina: .... Akitaru: "??? Shinra, could you stop Bunny Girl from killing those kids..." Konro: "...Should I smack them, or would you like to, Serina?" serina: ... -_-# are you honestly injured? if not, then please leave. im not here to be eye candy, im here to tend to those in need of medical care. Patient #2: "...Seeing you, though, makes me feel all better..." serina: *keeping calm, but visibly annoyed* Konro: *DEATH GLARE* Patient #1: "!!!" *pulls Patient #2 away* padma: *death glares at the pervs with whip in hand* is there a problem here, gentlemen? Tsukiyo: *swinging at the Twins, trying to catch them* Patient #2: "...Okay, your whip is hot, ma'am--" shinra: come on tsukiyo, leave them be. padma: *flame whip at their feet* please leave. Tsukiyo: "BUT THOSE BRATS CALLED ME A SKANK?! DO I LOOK LIKE A SKANK?!!" Patient #1: *leaps into Patient #2's arms, as they flee* shinra: no you dont look like a knife. Tsukiyo: "...'Skank'! Not 'shank,' you twit!" shinra:.... (thinking: i dont want to be that guy, but the way you behave isnt helping you...at all) Tsukiyo: *intense glare* "I notice you aren't responding to that..." *menacing step towards the twins...* shinra: hey, do those guys need their shirts off for this? Tsukiyo: "!!!" *smiles and shiny happiness* "Really? Oh, gentlemen! Need someone to help you with your shirts? I can bring you some cool refreshing drinks!" *saunters over* shinra: *grabs the twins and goes inside* phew... hinata: unhand us you little shit! Akitaru: *chuckles, overhearing this* shinra: O-O (thinking: WHERE DID THEY PICK UP THIS KIND OF LANGUAGE?!) Arthur: *finishes welding...then looks around* "Need help, Tamaki?" tamaki: please help....im stuck in the donation box... maki: HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?! Arthur: "?!!! I'll get you out! Um...Maybe if I tap the back of the box, you'll pop out?" tamaki: i think its weld shut or something?? Arthur: "Then I will unweld you! MINI-EXCALIBUR, GO!" *charges up Mini-Excalibur* maki: *rips off the top of the box* tamaki: *holding a large coin, looking like a lucky cat* q-q maki:....*cracks up* tamaki: WHAT'S SO FUNNY?! maki: *snaps a pic* tamaki: HEY! Arthur: "..." -\\\\\- "So adorable..." Arthur: "Can you text that pic to me?" -inside- Benimaru: "..." Konro: "...Are you going to work with them? They seem trustworthy." Benimaru: "We in the 7th cannot look weak. We need no assistance." hikage: konro! commander, this shitty brat's pestering us. shinra: Q-Q why are you two so mean? Konro: "What have you been doing, Hikage, Hinata? Playing games?" hikage: yeah, then tsuki-nee-chan got mad and this loser dragged us off. hinata: punch him in the junk! shinra: *jawdrop* -shinra now sits in the corner of woe- shinra: Q-Q if sho saw me like this, he'd probably laugh at me... Konro: *chuckle* "Children, why don't you have Mr. Fire Top over here show you his dance..." shinra: dance? fang-hua: need me to look after them? Konro: "Mr. Shinra here is a great dancer! Have him dance for you, kids...Fang-Hua would like to see him dance too, right?" fang-hua: i suppose. how about you show us tomorrow? for now, lets go to the shrine, i hear kirei bought some konpeito, and maybe if you ask nicely, she'll give you some. hinata: yay! hikage: konpeito! konpeito! *the two leave with fang-hua* shinra:...she's a natural with kids, it seems. Benimaru: "Better than you, it seems." Konro: -_-; "Master..." shinra: *frowns* Benimaru: "Lie down, Konro, you need to recover." *Konro's body has charred marks around his skin, which Shinra can see* shinra:.....(thinking: his skin...) Konro: "..." *looks away as he lies down* shinra: ah, s-sorry, i shouldnt stare...i'll just go now... Benimaru: "..." Konro: "..." *closes his eyes, tries to sleep* -outside- Takehisa: *finishes nailing* "There. The wall is done." maki: nice job. Takehisa: *small smile* "Good work clearing the debris...and getting that pic of Tamaki." maki: ^^ tamaki: you suck. Arthur: "Just because you got a cute pic?" kabuki: regardless, you all did a fine job...but its getting dark out, perhaps you should call it a night for now...thankfully, the ryoukan you're staying at didnt suffer any damage... Akitaru: *nods* "Thank you for letting us join your project." kabuki: we're happy to get the extra help. even though the commander might not seem it, im sure he appreciates it. -later- shinra:....*talking with iris and relan via vidchat* shinra: it was a lot of work, but we did pretty good i think... Iris: *small clap* "Good work!" Relan: *nods* "That's really helpful of you all." shinra: yeah, tamaki got stuck inside a box, based on what maki posted *chuckles* but all in all, today was a pretty alright day...i really wish you two were here... Relan: "...I--We, miss you, too, Shinra." Iris: *nods* "It's not the same here without you...especially with Sister's...habits." shinra: *nods* how are you guys holding up? Iris: "Sister is...like herself. But Miwa and Gabriella are keeping her in line." Relan: "...It's lonely here. We've all been busy with training." shinra: *he nods* how's buttons doing? Relan: "Really well! I taught him a new trick..." *holds Buttons up to the camera* Iris: "Aaaaah, so cute!" shinra: that's really cool, good job rel! Relan: "Heh heh...Thanks.
