#because i feel like he didn't tell him because sukuna never really was a family man

[epickiya722]

It still boggles my mind that Sukuna went into the final fight against Yuji and the others knowing he was Yuji's uncle.

That man went into fighting Yuji with that information and then killed the last family member Yuji had that genuinely cared about him.

[writingouthere]

Wait neighbor Sukuna is cuteeeeee I need a story pleaseeee🥹🥹🥹

another neighbor!Sukuna drabble. your first unofficial date.

cw: fluff, single parent reader, Sukuna is a good neighbor but a bad dude

The first time that Sukuna took you out happened on accident.

He'd been keeping track of your comings and goings so he could start being in the hallway at the same time as you to give a casual hello. His favorite times were when you had time to just chat without you needing to rush off to work or to daycare or one of the many activities you always were taking your daughter to.

It was a Saturday morning and Sukuna's ears perked up when he heard you talking to your daughter down the hallway. You couldn't clearly hear what you were saying but the tone seemed soothing and he thought he could even make out some sniffling from your daughter, unusual since she was usually so cheerful.

Sukuna grabbed his mailbox key so he had a purpose for stepping outside and slipped some shoes on before going into the hallway.

"Morning, neighbor," you managed cheerfully and Sukuna looked down to see that your daughter had tears on her face. The sight had his hackles up immediately.

"Are you all okay?" He tried to sound nonchalant and he wondered if it worked as you wiped away some of your daughter's tears.

"We're okay, it's just," you paused here and looked at your daughter. "Her dad was going to take her to the aquarium but something came up and he's not going to make it. I know he's really disappointed he can't go." The touch of anger in your eyes made him think that this was you just trying to make your daughter feel better.

Sukuna had been planning to wait a little longer, to build more of a rapport with you before trying anything, but he couldn't just see you or your kid look like this over some loser who couldn't be a real man for his family.

"Well I don't see why that means we can't go to the aquarium," he said and he finally got the kid to stop crying for a second and look up at him.

"We don't have a car and it's over two hours by subway," you said reluctantly and Sukuna couldn't contain his sly grin.

"I have a car, and I wouldn't mind taking you. If that's okay with you, of course."

"Yes, yes, yes, can we go mommy, please?" Sukuna had never heard your toddler say so much before and you bit your lip before looking back at him. Sukuna could barely keep his eyes off your mouth but he knew if he looked he'd kiss you and this wasn't the place for it.

"Are you sure?"

"I wouldn't have offered if I didn't want to do it, sweetheart." You blushed a little at that and looked down at your daughter.

"Alright bug, we can go. But make sure you tell Mr. Ryomen thank you."

"Thank you, Mr. Ryomen," your daughter echoed dutifully and he knelt down to ruffle her hair.

"No need to thank me, and I told you, you can both just call me Sukuna."

"Thank you, Sukuna." Sukuna really wanted to kiss you. But he knew that if he did it now it would ruin this perfect chance for you to see what he could be for you, for both of you.

You bring out a car seat that you have in your apartment and you show Sukuna how to install it. Sukuna pays attention because he plans on going on many more trips with the two of you. Maybe the car seat can even just stay here(not yet, not yet, not yet he keeps telling himself).

He encourages you to choose the radio station you listen to on the way over and you choose a throwback station that has you and the kid singing along to. It's nice and warm and Sukuna knows every person he's ever met would be baffled at the scene but it feels too fucking right to care.

He pays once you get there, waving off your protests and you spend all day looking at the exhibits. When you get to the pool where you can pet the stingrays, he lifts your daughter up so she can reach them and shows her how to hold her fingers so the animals will come up to her. He can feel your gaze on him, but this isn't even just for you. The more time he spends with your daughter, the more he feels like she's supposed to be his too.

Finally though, the toddler being a toddler gets hangry and you all stop at the cafe for a light lunch. He watches as you try to persuade your daughter to have some fruit in addition to the cookie she has her eye on and Sukuna pops some of the grapes in his mouth with an exaggerated noise of pleasure, making mini-you copy him.

"Thanks," you tell him as you watch your daughter finish up her fruit. "It was one thing when it was just the vegetables she didn't like but now she's got beef with fruits and I'm worried she's going to end up with scurvy."

"No problem, happy to help." and the thing is, Sukuna is happy to help. He remains happy as you finish going through the aquarium. When your daughter gets too tired, he picks her up and carries her so you can make your way back to your car.

"All tired out, bug," you say, affectionately rubbing her back. He hoists her up higher on his hip as you enter the lobby when an older woman stops you.

"Such a beautiful family you have here," she says waving at the sleepy toddler on Sukuna's hip and he nods as you blush.

Neither of you speak about it, but he wonders if it's on your mind as much as his on your way back to your apartment building. He lets you say your goodbyes as the sleeping girl on your shoulder drools in her sleep.

When Sukuna enters his apartment he leans back against his door and just lets the warmth of the day wash over him. He had known before what he wanted, but now he felt almost desperate.

His days spent in this quiet apartment alone were numbered, and he was going to make sure you knew his intentions as soon as possible.

After all, he still had your car seat.

Playing a sport with them

Includes- Toji, Sukuna, Nanami, Gojo, Geto

Sukuna-

"Come on daddy" trying to drag the man out of the house, refusing to move an inch, he wasn't in the mood for baseball, especially since his daughter couldn't even play properly. "No, go away" flicking the girl off him.

Somehow he ended up outside pitching a ball for his daughter. "Watch this daddy!" Missing the ball miserably, it kind of stung watching his daughter be so unathletic despite only being 3. "How pitiful.." leaving snarky remarks under his breath. "Again!" Throwing the ball back at him. "Again" that's all he could hear as she kept throwing the ball back, hoping to at least get a hit before sunset.

Nanami-

This man isn't big on sports, never in your lifetime would you expect your husband to be good at it, somehow he was always in shape. So he had to be good at something, and that something was.. tennis? His daughter finding his old collection of tennis rackets he was yet to throw out. "Daddy! Let's play tennis" dumping the balls and 2 bats on the ground near his leg. "Since when did you play tennis ken?" Inquiring into his past life.

"Hi-yahh!" Hitting the ball but not over the net, as much as he loved his daughter. He couldn't handle playing with her, she didn't know how to play properly, to make it worse, she couldn't even reach over the net. "Try again." At this rate, he could sit down and eat his breakfast before she even got it over the net.

Feeling bad for the girl he decided to go teach her. "Throw the ball up" doing as he said. "Now swing" grabbing her arm as he guided it towards the ball, hitting it perfectly over the net.

Geto-

He used to do swimming till he realised how ridiculous he looked with his hair all in the swimming cap, that's why he switched to volleyball. Plus they didn't have a pool in the house so he opted for some volleyball. It was around 7pm in winter when she wanted to play, so of course it was too dark, meaning they couldn't head outside incase she got lost. "Okay, don't hit the chandelier or any of the pottery." Making sure you weren't around to watch how stupid the pair were being. He'd never play in the house with a ball, it was a rule you both agreed on, yet he was doing it right now. "What do you call that?" Hitting the ball towards him. "A serve?" He didn't know what he was talking about since it had been so long since he played. "Well! I did a serve" putting her hands on her hips like a superhero.

Gojo-

"Go easy on him Satoru" handing him a water bottle, your son and his father were currently playing basketball after switching from baseball. Gojo knew how much of an advantage he had compared to his off spring, his height, experience and overall everything since he was against a 3 year old. "Nope" slapping his arm. "Why not?" Your son was a crybaby, always tearing up whenever his father did something he didn't like. "Because.." he didn't have a proper reason for why he wouldn't go easy.

"Hurry up daddy" throwing the ball at the man's back, you didn't understand how easily he was caught off guard when his family was around. "At least let him get a shot, Satoru!" Shouting at your husband before he ran off.

Toji-

He didn't really do sports growing up, he normally just threw a ball to his ceiling for hours on end, trying to clear his boredom. "Catch papa!" Throwing the toy ball at him. He wasn't in the mood for any kind of activity, he just wanted to be lazy today. Purposely throwing the ball into the room opposite him, sighing as he saw his daughter run towards the ball. "Catch!" Throwing it back at him, this process went on for a few minutes. He didn't have the heart to tell her that he wasn't in the mood, just seeing her chubby face light up each time.

[yuujiheart]

I didn't like how the new chapter was not dedicated entirely to sukuna and yuji and instead rushed and forced shounen trio and some random plot about Yuta being in danger (sorry I can't stand Yuta, to me Yuki IS the mc and I'm tired of Yuji being denied)

I want to think Yuji ate sukuna offscreen (remember his grandpa said to help people even if they don't say thanks), thats why the abrupt ending and not showing sukuna 100% evaporate

I hope the last chapter ends with Yuji AND sukuna. Make them reincarnate together or something. The others subplots I don't care about (unless it's yuji family)

It's alright anon don't be sorry. I think it was inevitable since gege has to wrap up things and solve important plot points before it ends. I knew this would happen when jjk ending was announced. I didn't expect the whole chap because we already saw a lot of them in 265 but i do feel a proper conclusion was missing..but only from sukuna's side.. That person is hiding too much in his heart, it was a shame we never got to see how he really felt about all these things.. I feel that was the moment where I wanted to hear what sukuna had to say. Doesn't matter what he does after that... Not reading between lines or speculations from readers..

Tbh, I have disconnected myself from it completely since I don't really have any hope and it's not because there aren't any clues, it's because of gege.. I feel like he already provided us what he really intended to. But I will still share with you what I think could have happened....since not caring anymore does not mean my brain has stopped working...

I think I will start with the finger thing.. Most obvious cope..that finger is sukuna's part of soul which means his consciousness does reside in it so yuji can actually eat it although Gumi said it wouldn't have enough pull to connect his soul but i think suku's soul link with yuji can compensate for that. Helping suku to reincarnate.

We were told many times how yuji is linked to sukuna and shoko said yuji has become like his finger so u can add that too.. So if resonance actually works because of their soul link so i would believe sukuna soul is still there since it's connected to yuji.

Since his last finger is still here, his soul is incomplete and wouldn't be able to reincarnate like a regular soul. so that means he is still in the limbo/ cursed realm (remember once uro said it's like coming back from hell) maybe pondering over what yuji said to him..just like how he was before yuji ate finger for first time

Like you said there's a good chance that yuji has eaten him since yuji really wanted him to live a normal life.. He was really sad that suku rejected his offer. so wouldn't be surprised of he did that.

The conclusion itself gives hope. Since it was abrupt. That there is more to their story... Although it didn't to me...

About other subplots, I think yuji already knows about kenny ig. That's why he referred both him and sukuna as being born with a curse. Maybe with the help of gojo considering he's telling every first year about their parents.. . I don't have any expectations left anymore . Will just accept whatever gege gives to us... I can't really care about anything atp. Like he can bring back gojo and I would be fine with it...

Although I would love that gege proves me wrong ..

[peachsayshi]

OMG i constantly think about sukuna dad series and how reader said she loved him😭 sukuna was so mean to her by bringing up her past and telling her she could leave. That be the day I take our son and LEFT, just so he knows what pain is😭😩 and then come after us trying to build his family😩 I HAVE to get a alternative part where she does leave him and get his pov when he realizes she does

P.S. I LOVE your work😘💐

hi, nonnie!! ahhhhh, I'm squealing!! I'm so glad you love the drabbles! I'm actually writing out the full story between sukuna and reader which you can find here - but, but - I will be diving deep into that specific scene at some point! you'll know exactly how the reader will respond to sukuna after that blow out. because yes, he was a big meanie 😭 I try not to write him too ooc either - where he is too nice or soft. I feel like sukuna wouldn't really know how to cope/communicate with his feelings in this sense.

I also mentioned that the two of them got into a "argument" prior too, and in the fic I want to dive deeper as to why. I've been taking the drabbles that I have written so far and really just started fleshing them out.

honestly, this was just a small scenario in my head and I didn't know how much you all would have loved dad sukuna when I wrote my first drabble 😭😭 this fic really came to be because of you guys <333 and I just want that to be known

(ps. I no longer upload my long form stories onto Tumblr because they just never seem to go as well as shorter stories or one shots lskdjflkj but if you're okay with reading on ao3 then you can find the story there, and I'll be sharing the link and whenever there is a new update onto tumblr)

[seeingivy]

hi this is really out of the blue andr andom but i was wondering if u had any hcs or js random thoughts about best friends older brother!sukuna? i would love to hear them but if u dont want to or anything just ignore this ask! ily ur writing is soo good!

hello my love 💌

DO I??? (yes, I do. he lives rent free in my head)

sukuna was a basketball player when they were in high school together. he easily made varsity when he was a freshman (which kind of explains why he was friends with juniors and seniors when he was a freshman) and was basically the star point guard

for senior night type games or championships, y/n and yuuji had to attend with their families and sukuna would feel some type of way about the fact that y/n had the teams colors smeared in glitter on her cheeks (and obv wore his number with the rest of his family)

y/n did yearbook. this meant that she was always at those high publicity type of events taking pictures - fun fact, she was actually at the senior prom that sukuna went to as a sophomore (and she took no pictures of sukuna + didn't talk to him while she was there)

sukuna hates matcha. he has to stomach it though because y/n can never finish her drink and he doesn't want it to go to waste (he would rather die than admit that after the third or fourth time it's starting to grow on him)

sukuna used to ride a motorcycle when he was studying abroad in europe/france.

when sukuna gets a motorcycle in tokyo, y/n gets a baby pink helmet and decorates it with ribbons to match. sukuna also buys her a nice quality leather jacket.

y/n is majoring in vet med! (sukuna hates cats but she will convince him one day to get one as a pet. he will then treat said cat like it's his child even though he didn't even want it in the first place)

sukuna's lockscreen is of y/n smiling at the camera! her's is of him wearing the skincare headband that she uses to hold her hair (he is glaring at the camera)

y/n and sukuna have a shared playlist - he listens to it while he's at work and she listens to it when she's walking to class. y/n likes to listen to olivia rodrigo/lana del ray/boygenius/clairo/girl in red and sukuna listens to a lot of old school rap (y/ns favorite ends up being old school drake)

y/n tells sukuna that her favorite song on the playlist is best I ever had and sukuna really loves there's a tunnel under ocean blvd.

besides y/ns ribbon on sukuna's car key and the lock screen, he also has a picture of her in his wallet (of her fast asleep in his bed)

mrs. itadori always used to joke that y/n would end up with her son and gave up the joke once it was kind of obvious that yuuji was gay (but her dream still comes true <3)

weirdly enough, megumi is a sukuna apologist. yuuji obv doesn't hate sukuna that much, there's a lingering love there, and megumi tries to coax him to let some of that stuff go.

y/n is not yet aware that her roommate mai is the sister of nobara's sneaky link. when they find out, it's ww3.

gojo and geto are way too involved in sukuna and y/ns relationship. they try to stalk both of their socials to get any more content and every time sukuna brings her up satoru makes his best efforts to not squeal.

sukuna is the closest to geto out of all of his coworkers.

[macawritesupdates]

Aww loved the latest prompt chapter so much I'm a big sucker for Yuuji naming a kid after his grandfather it gets me feeling all warm and fuzzy every time. I won't lie I think having an adorable little paradox child running through the timeline causing problems is karma for Sukuna, I hope all of his children are little rascals all their lives. May they all be even bigger brats than their daddy, and may they all have him wrapped around their little fingers. Sukuna telling the kids Yuuji took his other set of arms because he was bad is the funniest thing. I love the thought of him being kind of a silly dad with his kids 10/10. I grew up in a family with multiple speech language pathologists so unfortunately reading little Wasuke's sound substations sent me into multiple flash backs of my mother talking about how she thought my childhood sound substations were super cute but she was always praying that I'd get past them quickly because she specialized in helping the elderly and didn't know pediatric speech therapy techniques so she would have had to ask a colleague for help which would have been super embarrassing to her. Imagine the child of a speech therapist needing speech therapy (I did in fact grow out of the sound substations normally). See I probably spent way too long trying to remember my childhood lectures on speech development instead of focusing on the fluff, lol (side note speech therapists are trained to decide on the best course of action for their patients and stick to it and fight hard for what they think is best which has the fun side effect of making them super stubborn at times if you ever want entertainment get two of them to argue about something they do not back down (at least all the ones I know don't. I can't speak for all of them)). As you can probably guess I really liked the chapter but it sure brought up some memories ok enough reminiscing back to what you wrote. Gojo gets brownie points for being smart enough to ask little Wasuke people's names to figure out who his parents were good choice. Nobbie is an adorable nickname I'm so glad that she's clearly still good friends with Yuuji in the future 💖. Poor Megumi getting roasted huh you would think he'd have grown out of the need to summon at the drop of a hat but nope apparently he does it enough for it to be his defining feature in little Wasuke's eyes. I hope he uses his summons as free baby sitters, imagine the great general adapting vocal cords so it could sing baby shark to the kids (this may seem sweet but its actually an act of strategic psychology warfare against Sukuna by ensuring he'll never escape that song). At the very least, he could call up a bunch of bunnys for the children to run around with to tire them out a bit when they're being rowdy so he can put them down for a nap. Future Wasuke what a cutie is that poor boy trying to keep track of all his past paradoxes so he can go save himself that sounds like so much work good luck little guy. I won't lie time travel paradoxes break my brain a bit kinda glad this is just a one shot so I don't have to think about it too much 😅. Sukuna getting offended at the thought that he couldn't be a good dad was funny love that man. Man all Yuuji's friends handled the fact that he's going to have kids with Sukuna super well that's sweet. Yuuji now gets to tell future Wasuke that he loved him and thought he was adorable even before he was born ❤️💖💓💞💕❤️. Very nice thank you for writing and sharing with us 😀 😊 ☺️ 😄.

Glad you enjoyed! Have a few of these little family prompts to come through, so perhaps more little Wasuke in the future lol Time paradoxes use to confuse me until I realize you just have to complete the circle on them, aka making sure it all happens in the right sequences XD Older Wasuke is so desperate to keep track of it all... working double time!

It was a fun little write as it is fun to write family fics like this <3 makes me excited for when some of my long fics get to this point just for the fluff <3

Thank you so much for the long comments! I love reading them and really enjoyed getting all those little tidbits!< 3

[missingn000]

Chapter 45 was so great! ✨️

The dynamic between Sukuna and Yuuji in TPG is so special to me.💖 I love the way you write it so much!✨️ Sukuna caring for Yuuji but being unable to show it to him (or anyone). The fact that he gave him a nice dream (that Yuuji probably saw as a taunt, some kind of "You'll never be this happy again" if he even figured out it's from Sukuna at all).

Yuuji trying to hide how much he suffers from his family (poor baby😔) is so sad yet so in character.

I love how Nanami tries to understand Sukuna and talks to him in order to help Yuuji. Like, it's not easy, Sukuna has the attitude of a feral cat that thinks it's God. Every single conversation he's a part of is painful for everyone involved (including himself), but Nanami still tries despite it all.

"I'll make the world hate me more than I hate myself." Sukuna is so lucky (or unlucky) that Nanami did not figure that one out.

"Have you ever considered that not caring is indeed possible, just not for you?" Nanami called him out so hard with this one.

Kenjaku get hit in the head with a brick challenge. I can't imagine being over 1000 years old and spending my time stalking a random family in order to ruin their lives and also to keep ruining the life of some dude (Sukuna). There is being a hater and there is whatever Kenjaku has going on.

Choso!✨️ The fact that he woke up and asked about his brothers before anything else is so cute and also so devastating at the same time (having no identity outside of being the oldest brother who must protect the younger ones must be tough) (but also how could he even have an identity outside of that, he was stuck in a tube in some basement).

Poor guy is not even 1 second old and is already experiencing gaslighting😔.

Uraume!🎉 Not here yet, but they're mentioned at least. "I love a bitch with a real frozen heart." Once Uraume appears is anyone gonna make a connection between the ice gremlin and every time Sukuna mentioned his love for the cold/ice? Because he does that in almost every chapter since he appeared. He said he loves them. King of not being subtle at all✨️.

I can't believe Yuki and Toji were this close to making it official only for Kenjaku to drop the "both of your ex wives died". Wow.

Yuki!💖 I love her so much! Her desire to be seen by Maki and Gojo as a mom, wanting to be called "mom" by them... It's very sweet, but also devastating knowing how much it hurts that both of them didn't tell her about Maki not being Toji's daughter.

The fact that Choso just approaches her and is like "prepare to die", but then has to remember why he is supposed to kill her💀. He is so funny without meaning to.

"This is for Riko." Wow, Kenjaku really went there. This is so unnecessarily cruel. He can act all he wants like his goal is to prove a philosophical point, but his actions are waaay past that. Tormenting Kuroi while wearing Riko's face, gloating to Wasuke, this whole thing just now... He must enjoy it to a certain extent, even if he doesn't want to admit it.

Poor Kashimo being stuck in that horrible work environment.😔 All they wanted was to fight Sukuna, but now they are discovering feelings and have to deal with Kenjaku on a daily basis.

✨️💖✨️

HIII I AM SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT 💞 god yeah yuuji and sukuna are SO devastating huh. it's like watching a tragedy play out every time they interact. yuuji tries to hide how much he suffers, while sukuna disguises his suffering as cruelty and malice, and the one person to whom he occassionally shows the truth both doesn't believe him and doesn't care. nanami's curious, but it's closer to morbid curiosity -- like driving past a burning car on the highway and looking to see who's dying inside, even though you know it'll upset you. those three all make me so insane.

I AGREE, FUCK KENJAKU MAN. he's so cruel and for what?? it's such casual cruelty too, which makes it so much worse.

chosoooo! he has arrived!! but at what cost lol. he cares so much about his brothers and has constructed his identity solely around that. which is a major theme of the upcoming fight!!

URAUMEEEE<3 im glad you caught the reference lol. sukuna is so fucking funny, bro is not being subtle at all with his love declaration yet no one has a clue wtf he's talking about, like always. the most undersharing oversharer in the history of time.

tojiyuki omg ikr ;__; so close and yet so far. stay tuned for more developments with them!!

ELECTROWAWEBABY - sukuna

Sukuna x fem. reader (reader is Nanami's sister)

Hockey Player AU!

Summary: Sukuna, the new player on your brother's hockey team has a bad reputation. He is mean on the ice, he gets into fights, but he is also the top scorer in his league. It's a surprise to everyone that he started developing feelings for you, his teammate's little sister.

I'm on a massive Sukuna brain rot, I was planning on writing something about him and I was at a hockey game the other day which gave me some inspiration. So here it is. :D

There was this unspoken rule between hockey players: you never date a teammate's sibling. Locker room talk exists and there is a consensus among players that nobody wants their sibling mentioned in such discussions, mainly because it is disgusting - most guys have no filter when in the locker room, and no one wants to hear a group of hockey players talk about their family like that.

You knew about this, of course, your brother has been playing hockey since he was three, you knew everything about their little rules and superstitions. Nanami was a great sibling and a great hockey player. He was gentle and polite, never failing to treat others with the most respect. That's why he was the captain of his team, a leader per se, someone admired by many. So naturally, when the management of his team signed the top scorer in the league in the middle of the season, he offered the new player a place to stay for the time he found proper accommodation. The problem was, that your brother forgot to mention this fact to you, so it comes as an enormous surprise as you sit at the kitchen counter in Nanami's home one Sunday morning and a shirtless guy with tattooed arms and torso walks into the room, rubbing his eyes from sleep. De doesn't notice you, he walks up to the fridge and takes out a water bottle, gulping down the liquid quickly. He is tall. Freakishly tall. He looks intimidating with all the tattoos and you can smell his deodorant from afar, a masculine but soft smell that lingers. He suddenly looks at you and his eyes widen, but he also chokes on his drink, making him cough uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spook you." you say and walk towards him, in a useless effort to help him. He puts his hand up to stop you and you watch him intensely while he calms down. He finally looks at you, his eyes sharp and cold.

"I don't mean to sound rude, but who are you?" he asks, his voice is raspy, probably because he just woke up. The way he articulates his words though has no ill intent in them, he is genuinely curious. He usually doesn't nearly die in front of a gorgeous woman while he gets his water every morning.

"I'm y/n, Kento's sister. We're having our usual Sunday brunch and he told me to wait for him here while he gets ready." you explain. The guy looks at you intensely, as he observes some features that you share with your brother. He doesn't think that the similarities are prominent, at first glance he wouldn't have guessed that you were relatives. However, now that he knows he kinda sees it.

"I'm Sukuna. It's nice to meet you. I have heard a lot of things about you, Captain likes to talk about you a lot while he cooks." he explains.

"You're the new player, right? It is really nice to meet you too."

"Uh, yeah." he says, scratching his scalp. He doesn't seem like the type to act nervous like this, he has an aura to him that screams confidence. However, he is probably uncomfortable in the situation at hand. "I guess you heard about me too." You shake your head lightly and his eyes light up.

"Not much, honestly. I just heard that you are a great player and your old team kinda fucked you over by trading you in the middle of the season." Sukuna is glad that his reputation didn't catch up to him yet. He doesn't know why he feels a weight fall from his shoulder after your statement, but he's pleased nonetheless.

"So this Sunday Brunch. Tell me about it." he demands. The awkwardness he was showing a few minutes ago disappears and he becomes a lot more direct.

"We do it every Sunday - or at least on those Sundays that he is home, he's on the road a lot with the team, we go to this cafe nearby that serves the best Egg Benny in town." Sukuna smiles. He relishes in the way you talk about such a mundane thing as brunch, your excitement is evident and for some reason, it makes Sukuna excited too.

"Don't mention the Egg Benny, Bambi. Last time they messed mine up, I'm not having it again." Kento enters the room, he's dressed in a matching sweatsuit and he looks extremely comfortable.

"Bambi?" Sukuna questions.

"Yeah, I've been calling her that since she was three."

"Why?"

"Do you know that scene in the cartoon when Bambi tries to walk for the first time and his legs are all wobbly? That's what she looked like when she tried skating for the first time. It started as a joke, but now it's stuck. Everyone calls her that nowadays."

Sukuna's face is emotionless. Or at least, you cannot figure out what he's thinking, which irritates you to no end. You don't quite know why though.

"Do you want to join us for brunch?" you ask timidly. Usually, others are banned from this event, even Nanami's wife, who's currently on a work trip abroad. However, it feels utterly impolite to not ask at the very least, considering that this guy moved here very recently and he probably doesn't have many friends around town yet.

"Sure, why not. I can be ready in five minutes if that's okay." he says and you watch as Kento nods. You smile brightly at the pink-haired guy and he gives you one back, but it is more reserved.

"Why did you invite him? What happened to the strict rules of others being banned, even my wife?!" he says, but his tone is light, there is no harshness to his words.

"He seems like a lost puppy. I also felt kinda obligated to at least ask him to join us, considering we were discussing about it in front of him."

"Okay, Bambi. But don't make this a tradition, otherwise, I will have to appeal Sophia's ban from Sibling Brunch."

"Hey! This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, hold your horses champ."

As soon as you finish your sentence, Sukuna appears wearing a red hoodie, black pants, and some expensive-looking sneakers. He looks comfortable, his hair is slightly damp, probably from the quick shower he just took. You leave the house right after and walk to the cafe while you try to convince your brother to order the Egg Benedict again. You notice that Sukuna doesn't talk much, only when he's asked, he just looks around, analyzing his surroundings.

"Are you nervous, Sukuna?" your brother asks after brunch, as you guys finish your coffees.

"Not really. I just want to get at least one in, I don't want the fans to think I'm a flop." he says, his eyes glued to his coffee cup.

"You're gonna be alright. On my first game with the team, I was so nervous I nearly put the puck in our own net. You cannot do worse than that."

You listen into their conversation, but you do not intervene. Apparently, the game tonight will be Sukuna's first one with the team. He doesn't seem nervous tho, he just looks irritated. He had this unreadable expression on his face that bothered you for some reason. He seemed like an intense person. His gaze was frightening, he looked like he could see inside one's soul with those pretty, dark orbs.

"Bambi is going to be there to cheer us on, do not worry." Kento says, and Sukuna smiles. It is a bit forced, he seems like he doesn't really care about you attending and it stings a little.

"I'll make sure to keep the puck for you if I manage to score tonight." Sukuna says. Your eyes widen, you certainly didn't expect that.

"You should keep it for yourself, you know?"

"I don't need it. These sentimental things don't mean much to me."

"Why give it to me then?"

"There's a meaning to that tho." he smiles widely, this one doesn't feel forced like the one before. But he never elaborates. You don't find out the meaning behind it. But it makes you really cheer him on during the game.

You are surprised to see him on the starting lineup, wearing the number 66, which you find fitting. The dark blue jersey complements his skin tone, and his painted fingernails are holding onto his gloves for dear life. He looks around the arena, filled to the brim with loyal fans and his eyes lock with yours as you are seated in the family lounge. He nods, the gesture ensuring that he is indeed looking at you.

As the game starts you realize quickly why this trade he was involved in was a big deal. He is fast despite his tall physique and he is ruthless. He checks the opponents hard and doesn't hesitate when it comes to getting dirty. You see him on the jumbotron as he spews some rude comments towards one of the players on the other team, with a huge smile. He enjoys it. He enjoys the game and that shows in the score as well. Because on the night of his debut with the Tokyo Wizards, Sukuna gets 5 goals. Everyone in the building goes nuts over his talent, and he just smiles. At the end of the game, he has an honorary lap around the ice, thanking the fans for attending with his stick held up high. He also tosses some pucks to a group of kids. After he's finished, he skates towards the exit that is supposed to lead him down the tunnel towards the dressing rooms. However, instead of going down, he looks up, gesturing for you to walk down the stands, closer to him. You look at him confusedly, but you oblige. As soon as you get close enough, he raises his tattooed hand and shows you a puck with white hockey tape around it. He tosses it slightly towards you and disappears down the tunnel.

You look at the puck, there is writing on the tape: #66 - Game 1 - Goal 1. So he did get you the puck from his first goal.

"What is that?" Satoru Gojo's girlfriend, Senna asks you. You are good friends with the WAGs, considering that you go to the same amount of games that they do. She is also joined by Suguru Geto's fiance, Akane.

"Sukuna's first goal puck."

"You know what that means right?" Akane asks with a huge smile.

"No?"

"It's a Tokyo Wizards thing. If they give you the puck, you're supposed to get the ring next."

"What?" you laugh out loud from the silliness of this whole situation and the assumption that Sukuna would give you the piece of rubber as a way to flirt with you.

"You should ask your brother about this. I'm pretty sure he gave a puck to Sophia a few weeks before he proposed. I guess the point is that other players would see the gesture and will know that their girl is completely off the market." Senna explains.

"Suguru said that Sukuna does not talk about girls, apparently he doesn't have the time to have a partner. So it's kinda odd that he gave this to you." adds the raven-haired defenseman's fiance "Oh, look at this!!! He scribbled his phone number on it." she turns the puck around, showing the sequence of numbers and the smiley face he drew beside it.

"Did you get a puck before the proposal, Akane?" you ask curiously.

"Hell no!" she chuckles "Suguru wanted it to be a surprise, so he didn't want to give me a hint like that. Although, I got one afterward."

You decide to text Sukuna, demanding an explanation. He doesn't give one. However, he keeps the conversation going, claiming that he played the best game of his career so far solely because of you. It seems cheesy, the way he so openly flirts, but you enjoy the attention. Your phone buzzes again and you quickly look at the screen to read his message.

I'm extremely superstitious, y/n. From now on, you will be my good luck charm, sweet cheeks.

Skater boy! Yuji Headcanons

❥ AU: Modern!AU

❥ Genre: Fluff

❥ Rating: Anyone can read

❥ Pairings: Skater!Yuji x Black!Reader

❥ Warnings: Mentions of injuries, mentions of mental health, HAPPY RELATIONSHIPS, Profanity

❥ Author Note: My baby deserves the most love and it hurts so bad that he's not real since he's my ideal type oml.

Yuji Itadori is a certified skater Boi . He's always looking for a new platform to ride on

Ironically the actual ground is the last place this mf wants to skate

Never backs down from a challenge and thats often the reason why

"I dare you to hit a kick flip off that lady's wheelchair."

"What?! No way. She could get hurt."

"I'll give you twenty bucks."

"Yeah still no that's horrible, 'Bara. I can't believe you think I'm stupid enough to-"

"And Y/n's baby pictures."

"Say less."

One potential law suit later

"NOBARA WHY WOULD YOU ENCOURAGE HIM."

"That bitch had it coming for rolling over my shoes."

"And Megumi why didn't you stop him??"

"...I was curious to see if he could do it."

Has a really large collection of boards

Various ones with different scratches and scrapes. He remembers each and every story of how he got them.

All of his boards come from the various places his older brother Sukuna has been.

Despite what the older will claim, every time he leaves his little brother, he actively searches out more boards to add to Yuji's collection.

"HOW THE HELL DID YOU MANAGE TO GET THE TONY HAWK TO SIGN IT?"

"Is that someone important? I just bumped into him and he gave me the board."

The only thing that takes up Yuji's mind more than skating is you.

His first interaction is definitely a memorable one..

It ended with him breaking his arm in seven places

"Hey, Yuji.. Have you ever tried to do the 900?"

"Yeah, gave myself a concussion tho."

"....what about off a deep freezer?"

"Dude... that sounds cool as fuck."

"No lets not do that, first of all, where are you gonna get a fucking deep freezer from?"

"Megumi, shut up. Stop trying to ruin our fun."

"You're just saying that because you bet that he couldn't do it."

"Really? You bet against me? Wow, I though we were friends."

"Hush, I do think you can do it. Don't worry. Let's meet at the skate park tonight."

The skate park that night was more crowded than it had ever been before.

Bets being placed left and right.

Just when everything seemed to be going just right and in Yuji's favor.

He saw you, standing beside Nobara.

A tall curly headed girl with the biggest smile he had ever seen. Skin practically glowing in the moon light. The cute little band t-shirt and jeans that hugged all your curves made his brain short-circuit.

Needless to say, Yuji in fact could not do it.

Despite the intense pain he was feeling, all he could do was focus on your panicked face as you tried to keep him from passing out.

Even when in the hospital getting lectured and cursed out by Sukuna all he thought about was your dimpled cheeks and beautiful smile.

As soon as he was allowed to return to school, he sought you out immediately.

"Hey, I'm Itadori Yuji."

"Yeah I remember you, I'm Y/n L/n."

"I wanted to tell you, I thought you were really pretty."

"I think you're pretty too."

Puppy love at it's finest.

The perfect himbo is your boyfriend and honestly its amazing

Expect study dates where he gives up half way through just to stare at you

"Yuji babe, focus on your work."

"Stop being so pretty then."

"You're such a dork."

"Mm but i'm your dork."

90s throwback Karaoke sessions because he loves your voice and the music

Late night facetime because he's corny.

"It's 2 am, what do you want?"

"I wanted to look at you before I go to sleep."

Cue you cheesing like an idiot

Doesn't really call you any nicknames since he loves saying your name so much

Sometimes will slip up and call you angel or angelface.

Mainly when he does something stupid and get hurt

"Yuji why the fuck is your lip busted."

"Sorry angelface, I lost my footing and wiped out. I did manage to miss hitting a family of swans."

You've become so used to his injuries, you started to carry around first aid kits and band aids.

It was supposed to make him be more careful but jokes on you he loves hello kitty band aids.

Wears them until you tell him he can take them off.

Often comes out of no where and gives you the most breath taking kisses

Loves seeing how thrown off you get

Makes it a game to see who can sneak the most kisses in during the day.

You both make your friend group sick asf

"I hate you both sometimes."

"For once, I agree with Nobara."

He definitely gives you his clothes because he loves seeing you in them

MATCHING SHOES

Don't play with him, yall definitely are twinning

He might be a skater but shoes creased? He never heard of it

Always clean asf

Definitely let you design one of his boards, hardly ever uses it because he doesn't want to ruin it.

Wants to teach you moves but doesn't want to see you get hurt

You are not allowed to skate without him

Not because he owns you or anything, he just really gets nervous that you'd get injured. its okay if he hurts himself but not you. You are not allowed to get hurt at all.

SHOPPING DATES

He will definitely will carry all of your bags. Not up for debate.

Honestly just loves spending time with you doesn't matter what you're doing. He just likes being included.

Definitely does a self care day with you.

Paints your nails only if you promise to do his.

Helped you wash your hair once and you both agreed never again

"Hey babe... does your hair normally turn yellow after getting washed?"

"...No. No it doesn't."

Fool accidentally bleached your hair.

After getting you to calm down and promise not to kill him, he took you to a real hair salon to get it fixed

SUKUNA PAID, definitely was not aware tho so don't mention it

That's how you ended up with matching pink hair.

"You know, your roots are dark again maybe we should wash it again."

"Fuck no."

Surprisingly does not do any drugs??

It's ironic really. He has no history of trying anything.

However if you ever wanna get high, IYKYK

The type of boyfriend that will lick or bite you out of no where.

Its actually so strange

Mid conversation he'll space out and next thing you know he's biting your shoulder. hand. cheek. anything.

You just get used to it.

HIS HANDS ARE ALWAYS ON YOU

whether his hands are on yours, your ass or back. He has to touch you.

Definitely slaps your ass out of nowhere.

Its usually playful but stings like hell

It becomes a game if you smack his.

"Hey, Y/n, have you seen my jacket- AH."

"Pay back is a bitch... Why are you smiling like that?"

"You're right, it is a bitch."

"Chill Yuji. I was just playing. STOP. NO."

You will never win rip lmaooo

While he never waits to tell you how he feels about you, talking about his feelings and mental state is very rare but he does trust that if he needs you, you'll be there.

Has a habit of placing kisses all over your face before kissing your lips if you guys have been around each other for a long time.

Demands victory kisses if he does a move right and doesn't get hurt

He is a caffeine addict.

Doesn't really need it but likes how it taste??

Drinks sugary frappuccinos and dark ass sodas

Still has the clearest skin ever so its really not fair :(

If you guys ever get into an argument buckle up, you arent sleeping until you two make up. He refuses to go to bed angry at you.

"Yuji go home. I mean it."

"I understand you're angry and that's fine but I'm not leaving until you say you aren't mad and love me."

"You're being childish leave me alone."

"Call it what you want, I'm not leaving. So we'll both just sit here looking goofy."

After you finally realize that fool isn't going to cave and somehow end up sitting in his lap. You give up.

"I love you and i'm not mad anymore."

"What? I couldn't hear you."

"I love you and i'm not mad anymore."

"That's what I thought, good night Y/n."

"...can you stay the night?"

"I was waiting for you to ask."

He spends more time at your place than his own.

Once freaked Sukuna out because he didn't return for damn near a month.

Please give older brother Sukuna a raise, he didn't ask for this shit.

Will def talk about you to anyone who listens. Even the girls that hit on him

"You're so cute, Itadori."

"Thank you, but my girlfriend is cuter. Look."

Proceeds to flip through his snapchat saved memories to show pictures of you.

Damn you could have just said you weren't interested shawty.

Hardly gets into fights but definitely has fought an ex of yours for having a slick mouth.

"What the fuck did you say about her?"

Definitely the type that needs to be held back from fighting when anger. Sukuna is so proud.

"Yuji its not worth it."

"Yeah that loser is ugly anyways."

"Thats right listen to the little emo bitch and home depot lesbian."

One brutal ass beating later...

"So I expect this from Nobara but Megumi... Again?"

"My hand slipped."

"Yeah right into that dude's face."

"In all honesty, I have no idea why I'm here. I'm an innocent bystander."

"Nobara you stomped on his back after he was down."

" I dont recall such a thing."

"We have it on tape."

"Moment of amnesia, like I said. I don't recall."

"...And what about you, Yuji."

"I only regret not knocking out more of his teeth. I'd do it all again."

So what he was suspended?

He gets time to plan more dates and play games at home.

In summary, Itadori is crazy about you and anyone with eyes can see that.

Peach-flavored Calpis | Inumaki Toge + Okkotsu Yuuta

SYNOPSIS: Actor AU - Behind the scenes of Jujutsu Kaisen.

READER: actress!female

WORDS: 1008

WRITTEN: 04/01/2021

NOTES: ignore the fact that their names are the same as their characters 🤡

"Cut! Take ten, everyone!"

You stretched with your arms above your head, leaning side to side. You were covered in fake blood and it felt gross.

It was tough being an actress for one of the most popular shows in the nation at the moment. It was tougher when you played an annoying character's girlfriend.

"Y/N-chan, you're as cute as ever!"

Your cheek was smushed as Satoru rubbed his cheek against yours while hugging you tightly. You sighed and allowed him to do whatever he wanted because if you didn't, he would just keep bothering you.

There was really no difference between the character he played and his real personality.

"Please unhand my girlfriend."

Satoru whined as Yuuta pulled him off of you. You sent him a grateful smile as you waddled into his arms. He smiled and kissed your forehead, even though it was covered in fake blood.

The staff members always got annoyed that the two of you were always all over each other because they'd have to change wardrobe.

"Me too, me too!" Toge exclaimed as he ran over to you, joining the hug.

You could feel him rubbing his face between your shoulder blades before giggling. He raised his head and kissed you on the neck.

The three of you were in a polyamorous relationship, and while it did shock the industry, most fans seemed to like that.

The three of you met on the set of Jujutsu Kaisen, and because of how friendly and open the whole cast was, it was easy for the three of you to become friends.

Yuuta was already dating Toge at the time, but it was kept a secret. The more time they spent with you, the more sure they were that they wanted you in their lives.

When they first asked you to become their girlfriend, you laughed because you thought they were joking. It wasn't until they each bought you gifts that you realized they weren’t joking.

Yuuta went with the classic flower bouquet, while Toge held out a framed certificate of a star he bought for you.

"Y/N, do you think you could buy me a Calpis?" Toge asked.

You didn't have to turn around to know that he was furrowing his eyebrows and morphing his face into a sad puppy-like expression.

"Toge, you're one of the richest actors in the industry," you retorted.

He pouted while you turned around in his arms. He plopped his face into your chest and motor-boated you while Yuuta chuckled and patted him on the head.

"It tastes better when you buy it for me."

"I'm not your sugar mommy," you complained.

"Y/N," he whined.

"You're going to give in anyway, sweetheart," murmured Yuuta.

You sighed. "Yeah, I know. Come on, you brat."

Toge smiled as you took his hand in one and Yuuta's hand in the other, leading them to your chair with your purse. You grabbed your card, then lead them to the vending machine in the hallway.

You passed by Yuuji who was dressed as Sukuna and was thankful that Satoru found someone else to hound.

Toge's eyes sparkled when he looked at the drink options in the vending machine. He was pressed against the glass, and Yuuta had to grab his collar to pull him away.

You inserted your card into the vending machine and your fingers hovered over the keypad.

"What flavor do you want?" you asked.

"Peach!"

You pressed D3 and the peach-flavored Calpis fell from the top shelf. Toge clapped excitedly and grabbed the Calpis, opening it and drinking from it.

Once he was satisfied, he handed it to Yuuta who drank from it and handed it to you. You drank from it and closed the bottle.

Toge wrapped his hands around your arm and pressed his cheek against your shoulder. Yuuta intertwined his hand with yours as the three of you walked back to the set.

The three of you looked like a family wherever you went. Toge was childish and when he didn't get what he wanted, he either pouted or ignored you.

He never asked Yuuta for it either. It was always you, and you just knew it was because he liked buttering you up.

Once, he saw something online while you were home and immediately squeezed himself between your legs while you were reading.

He pulled your book away from your hands and forced you to look at him. He pressed half of his face into your breasts and looked up at you.

"Cwan you bwuy this?"

"What?"

He raised his face. "Can you buy this for me?"

You looked at the product he wanted on his phone. You sighed, wishing that Yuuta was here to at least try to scold him.

"My card's in my purse."

He smiled and leaned up to kiss you on the lips, then ran away to buy what he wanted.

"We're going from scene 017 with Y/N and Satoru," said Akutami.

You nodded and pried Toge off you. He whined and pouted. Yuuta smiled and wrapped his arms around him from behind, and the two of them watched you act as Satoru's lovey-dovey girlfriend on set.

Both Yuuta and Toge got jealous easily, but mainly Toge was obvious about it. He would outright stomp up with a frown to whoever he was jealous of and tell the person that you had more important things to do than talk to them.

Yuuta kept his composure in front of strangers to be polite and keep up with his kind persona through a clenched jaw, but as soon the stranger left, he'd be flipping them off from behind.

You often had to calm the two of them because of how jealous they were, but you thought it was cute—except for that one time Toge poured a drink over someone who was getting handsy with you.

The press was all over that for weeks.

Well, at least you knew you would never have a boring life with Toge and Yuuta in it.

[nightwingsbf]

You talk a lot about Gojo, but what are your thoughts on Geto?

Man, do I have thoughts about Geto.

Let me start with the confession that it took me a long time to understand him. When i first read the manga, I thought young geto was really cool and all. However, I couldn't get why he'd shifted the way he did. I thought he chose the "weakest" option. I didn't get why people were obsessed with him if he'd murdered people and basically wanted to eradicate humanity. However, the more manga chapters came out and the more the plot thickened, the more I started to grasp at what was really going on.

When we had more information to start analyzing and viewing the jujutsu world critically, I realized that the guy was a victim of a cruel, disgusting system. Don't get me wrong, he's still responsible of all the death and suffering he caused. but if we see the bigger picture, if it hadn't been geto who'd gone apeshit, it could have been any other student. Only, it was him. him who was one of the most powerful sorcerers alive. Him who was Gojo Satoru's best friend.

I believe a lot of elements played out so everything turned out that way and it's not only the system per se too. I think curse consumption played a huge role. In one of the novels Gojo and Nanami talked about how fighting and exorcizing took a huge toll on the sorcerer to the point of that burden becoming a curse with the years. Imagine having that happen to you PLUS you literally consume them. Geto did make a choice when he decided to hate humanity, but it was because he was warped inside. He was depressed. He had countless of curses inside him. We know that Sukuna talked to Yuuji in his head, what if Geto aslo heard voices in his head? I think we need more information on that.

The other thing that I believe played out is his background. This is just a speculation, but I think his family and their beliefs could have become a curse for him too. Maybe they were religious. Maybe they were strict. Maybe, I don't fucking know. Whatever they were, I'm sure it helped the warping of Geto's mind.

I think what finally made me "get him" as far and I think I get him was the JJK 0 light novel. Man, it changed my whole perception of him. And not only of him, but of Gojo. Understanding Geto made me suddenly open my eyes and see who Gojo really is. This is my own perception but I believe you need to understand one to fully get the other. Their paths are intertwined in a way that can't be ignored when you analyze a character. Each time I watch an analysis video and it doesn't mention the other character it makes no sense. It feels incomplete.

The light novel made me realize that Geto had genuinely become a curse. He was pursuing his ideal because it was the only way for him to continue living and feeling like he was being true to himself. If he didn't have that truth then, what did he have? What was he left with? A world so cruel and twisted and unfair that you had to live knowing neither you nor the people you love would get to 50 years old. How do you live like that?

I realized Geto was desperate to reach that goal, but never enough to fight Gojo for that. In the end, he wanted Gojo to finally face him. I think having Gojo face him would prove something. I don't know if you've read or watched Monster but when (spoiler) Tenma finally confronts Johan he exepcts him to kill him for everything he's done to confirm that in the end hatred and violence are what humanity is. However, Tenma forgives him, which completely fucks Johan up. I believe something similar happened with Gojo and Geto. Instead of only killing him, Gojo told him he still trusted him and that shifted something inside Geto. And he didn't only tell him that he trusted him, he told him something else that managed to "well and truly exorcise the cursed called Suguru Geto". Morever, Geto thought at some point "Where did all go wrong? And how could they start over again?" And doesn't that show that despite everything, he knew this was not the path that they were supposed to be on?

Geto is just one of the saddest characters in the manga, and man does the manga have sad as fuck characters. Thinking about him pains me. As I've said, I haven't looked at him or Gojo the same since the light novel. It shifted my perception of them completely and now I just truly TRULY wish for his insanity and death to not have been in vain. I really hope things change in the jujutsu world so no more kids have to go through what he and his friends did. AND MAN. He was a fucking kid. He was a kid. I think it's the saddest part.

Gah. Now I'm sad. But thank you for making me talk about him. What do you think?

[chosonore]

part one | oblivion

oblivion [noun. the state of being unaware or unconscious of what is happening around one]

pairing: kamo noritoshi/f!reader

summary: your relationship with noritoshi was like a game of cat and mouse; no matter how hard you tried to escape from him, he would always find his way back to you.

wordcount: 3.9k

content/warnings: friends to enemies to lovers, language, noritoshi is kind of a dick but i promise it gets better so please don’t lose faith in him, we’re not strictly following the manga timeline bc while i am reading it, i do have a goldfish brain, lowercase intended

a/n: hello, here’s the first installment of my sanguine series! it’s the prequel of this drabble (nsfw) i wrote the other week while i was working on the outline of the fic. it’s a little slow burn because i wanted to spend some more time exploring their relationship and the groundwork for it, so yeah. i’ll try to update it regularly, but since i’ve only planned five parts for sanguine, it might take a while bc i want to take my time with it. if you want to stay updated with the series, i’ll post the masterlist to it shortly! i do hope you enjoy it though :) and stay safe, everybody! [tagging @sukirichi​ the sukuna to my yuuji, who just gets spammed when i start rambling about my aus but always screams with me (´• ω •`)]

masterlist - next 

"y/n!" you look up to see miwa storming towards you, thrusting a book in your direction. "could you- could you please give this to noritoshi? i borrowed this book from him like a week ago and if i don't return this anytime soon, i think he's gonna kill me." 

scowling at her, you look at the book in disdain. you wanted to avoid crossing paths with noritoshi as much as possible and miwa was well aware that you didn't like hi- 

"please," miwa pleaded again, taking your hands and placing the book in it. "i'm really scared of him. he always looks like he's going to shoot me soon. even todo is pretty nice if you don't interrupt his takada-chan time!" 

you sighed in annoyance, you just couldn't say no. ever since coming to the kyoto metropolitan curse tech, miwa and you had been pretty close because you strongly disliked the other students. most of them were arrogant and stuck-up, thinking they were better than the other; the two that belonged to the three clans were even worse. on your first day here you'd promptly gotten into a fight with mai, disliking how haughty she was and trying to prove everyone that she was better than them. much to your chagrin, the fight ended in a tie.

"fine, but you owe me some mango," miwa's face lit up in relief and she gave you a thumbs up before dashing to her room, most likely to escape noritoshi's wrath. you inspected the book. was it even worth returning it? maybe you could just throw it in the trash. if noritoshi ever found out, he'd kill miwa first and then you. you let out another sigh before making your way towards the training grounds. he most likely was outside to practice, either with one of the guys or alone. as you were nearing the training grounds, you could already hear the sound of arrows whistling and the dull thuds of them hitting the target. it was hard to spot him through all the trees; you weren't entirely sure where he was. your ears perked up when you heard him release another arrow until you realized that it was heading your way. this bastard. fortunately, you were able to slash the arrow clean in the middle, angrily pointing your sword in his direction. you still couldn't see him anywhere.

"you fucking idiot! you could've killed me," you snarled, stomping deeper into the forest. an amused laugh echoed through the trees. 

"you're acting like i can't control my arrows. it's not my fault you let your guard down," noritoshi retorted smugly, lowering his bow as he saw you approaching. you were fuming, hurling the book at him. how dare he? you watched with satisfaction as it hit him square in the chest - who was caught off guard now, huh? he deserved it anyways. 

"miwa asked me to return your book," you curtly explained and turned back around to leave but apparently, noritoshi had other plans. instead of saying anything else, he just followed you which unsettled you even more. 

"stop following me." 

"who said i was following you? i'm just going back to the dorms. i'm sorry you can't handle me being near you."

you whirled around, sword pointing dangerously close to his neck. he smirked at you triumphantly, it was just too easy to get a rouse out of you. "another word and i'll cut you, seriously. you're pissing me off," you gritted your teeth, hating that you always fell for his stupid games. he knew you all to well, what made you angry, what made you happy, what motivated you. once upon a time, you'd thought the same about him; until he changed so rapidly, so unlike your expectations. you were worlds apart and yet you'd reserved an ounce of hope that he wouldn't turn out to be as arrogant as the clan heads. swift as the wind, noritoshi grabbed your wrist, dragging it upwards and towards him until he could lean down to you. your heartbeat sped up - holy shit why was he so close to you - and you froze in shock. 

"i'd like to see you try, princess," he whispered in your ear, the grip on your wrist tightening. "you wouldn't dare to."

the first time you met noritoshi, he was sitting outside in the garden with his mum. both seemed to have a good time. noritoshi's hair was tousled from the soft summer breeze and he had a soft smile on his face, happily munching away on the snacks that were displayed on the table. while he looked friendly enough, you were wary of meeting and talking to him because you felt kind of queasy around the kamo family. you couldn’t quite place a finger on the feeling, the older members of the family intimidating you to no end. much to your dismay, you felt like you had to be watchful - your parents worked for the kamo family, so naturally the apartment you lived in was close to the estate. you avoided any run ins with the adults, they weren’t exactly friendly to you. noritoshi’s mum had befriended your mum and they spent a lot of time together when possible. and yet you’d never met noritoshi before, seeing how busy he was with his various classes.

the fit that you threw, not wanting to tag along with your mum, was long forgotten when you’d spotted the jar of cookies on the table. before your mum could react, you pulled your hand away from hers and quickly ran towards it. “hello miss!” you greeted enthusiastically, your eyes shining at the sight of the sweets. “my name is y/n! i’m here with my mum and i uhm… could i have some of the cookies? please?” when your mum finally caught up to you, she scolded you quietly and greeted the other two, taking a seat beside noritoshi’s mum. you pouted, immediately climbing on her lap as you refused to sit next to the boy. his mum handed you a cookie which you happily took and thanked her politely. noritoshi was curiously eyeing you; it wasn’t often that he saw other children around his age and he didn’t have any friends to play with. his everyday life revolved around reading books, studying, taking archery classes and sometimes spending time with his mum. noritoshi barely even knew what fun was - he’d only ever felt at peace when he was around his mum.

“y/n, sweetie, why don’t you go and play with noritoshi?” your mum prompted but you immediately shook your head, hiding your face in her chest. she simply laughed and shook her head, brushing your hair back softly. “come on, noritoshi is really nice. you can be his friend one day, right? didn’t i tell you that friends are important?” 

you frowned. then huffed. when she worded it like this, there was no way you could refuse. the cartoon that you religiously watched featured a group of friends that went on adventures and helped each other out. you’d told your mum that you wanted to be like that too! begrudgingly, you slid off her lap and trudged towards noritoshi who looked at you with big eyes. you held your hand out, waiting for him to shake it. “my name is y/n. uhm… nice to meet you,” you shyly whispered, eyes darting away from him. 

it took a while until noritoshi reacted, shaking your hand gently and answering: “hello y/n, i’m noritoshi.”

much to your surprise, noritoshi was actually fun to be around with. he showed you his collection of books, the bow that he was practicing with and you often played the card game you’d received for your birthday together. he was smart and witty, often explaining you things that he’d read in a book but he was also attentive when he listened to you ramble about the other kids in school or when you told him about the cartoon that you were watching. for you, noritoshi was becoming your best friend - for noritoshi, you were his first friend. he cherished you and how unabashedly true to yourself you were. spending time with you was something he looked forward to; you always made him laugh and you didn’t care whether he lived up to the kamo family name or not. to you, he was simply noritoshi. you were like a fresh breeze of air in his life.

noritoshi didn't quite understand why the elders were always so hard on him, so strict and unrelenting. they expected only the best results from him and didn't show any understanding when he exhausted. he didn't enjoy practice anymore, the lessons becoming a chore and burden on his mind. but whenever he saw your face light up at his newly acquired skills, he thought it was worth the trouble. you came to visit him everyday after school, never skipping a day. sometimes he questioned why you weren't visiting your friends from school but you shook your head, poking his chest indignantly. "you're my best friend, 'toshi. of course i'd want to spend more time with you." noritoshi was glad you always chose him, without fail.

even though your parents had always warned you to be careful around noritoshi because his family was strict and didn't like outside influences distracting the heir, you never really strayed from his side. noritoshi didn't have any other friends, who would keep him company or listen to his troubles then? you didn't understand why your parents were suddenly going back on their word. they'd always told you that family and friends were important. you couldn't pinpoint your feelings for him - but your parents saw it. it was obvious; the stars in your eyes when you looked at him, the slight blush on your cheeks when he complimented you and how happy you were when you got to spend time with him. the more time you spent with him, the more they were worried for you. 

"'toshi!" you yelled in excitement as you ran towards him, waving wildly. he dropped his bow and turned to you, a soft smile gracing his lips as he opened his arms to hug you. you squeezed him tightly. two weeks you hadn't seen him due to a school trip after which you got sick and weren't able to leave the house. you'd missed him a lot and you were excited to show him the souvenirs you brought him. 

"look, i bought you an omamori!" you handed him the small object, then pointing on your bag to show him the one you'd bought for yourself. "i got myself a matching one too! my teacher said it wards off evil spirits and brings you luck." noritoshi's smile was bright, so bright. he was happy you thought of him and were always kind to him. your eyes widened as he leaned in to kiss your cheek before thanking you. the two of you were blushing, neither saying a word but not minding what had just happened.

the day noritoshi's mother left the estate was the day you were slowly starting to lose him. noritoshi grew more forlorn and didn't seem to easily find joy in anything anymore. the departure left a deep, deep gap in his heart. it had shocked him deep to the core when she left him. him. why couldn't she stay? why did she leave him when she was the only person who protected him, loved him? she did say that she was hindering his growth but who was she to decide that? he didn't want to become stronger, didn't want to protect other people like she'd told him to. he wanted to stay with her. "'toshi? 'toshi!" a concerned voice broke through his trance, pulling him back into reality. "i asked you a question! you weren't even listening to me." 

you were pouting at him, tugging at his sleeve impatiently. noritoshi apologized, patting your head to soothe your temper. "what do you want to do in the future? mum said it's important to work towards your dreams!" you asked him curiously, grasping his hand to hold it. the gesture filled him with indescribable warmth, drawing him in like a moth to the flames. "my mum said i have a special power, i can heal people! i want to become a doctor in the future, so i can help everyone that got hurt," you explained to him so earnestly that he felt bad for the lie he was about to tell. noritoshi didn't have big dreams or ambitions just yet. he didn't even know what would be suitable to him - he was strictly following orders, never allowed to think for himself. 

but when he looked at you, he only had one wish. "i think… i think i want to help people, protect them. especially those that i love."

with each year passing, you noticed that noritoshi was putting more and more distance between the two of you. at first you'd brushed it off as the stress of his training and number of classes he was attending. but as you spent less and less time together, the weight of the situation didn’t escape you. he was easily irritable, cold and arrogant, often rude towards employees of the kamo estate. every now and then when you’d scold him for being an asshole, he’d simply scoff at you and haughtily ask you how it was any of your business. you sighed, tossing and turning in your bed as you thought about how much noritoshi had changed. it kept you up at night, just thinking about how he wasn’t your ‘toshi anymore. you didn’t know this person. ‘toshi was always gentle and kind, he tended to overthink many things and sometimes he was a little bit of a crybaby but you still loved him regardless. you sneaked out of your room, finally mustering up enough courage to ask your mother for advice. the thought of her discovering your blooming crush on noritoshi was scaring you. your parents were wary around the kamos despite working from them - even more so ever since noritoshi’s mother left and the elders had free reign over her son.

“noritoshi! noritoshi, stop walking away from me! hey, i’m talking to you!” you yelled frustrated as you were trying to keep up with him. noritoshi was crossing the garden in long strides, it was nearly impossible to stop him as you couldn’t catch up to him. you lunged forward, getting hold of his sleeve and tugged him back harshly. noritoshi yanked his arm out of your grip, glaring at you annoyed. 

“what do you want from me? i have better things to do than to quibble with you,” he hissed irritated. you couldn’t believe him, he had the nerve to dismiss you like this when he was in the wrong? 

“you know exactly what i want from you! you can’t just go around and talk to people like you did before just because they’re not from a reputable family! noritoshi, you’re not any better than them just because your last name is kamo.”

as much as noritoshi scared you, you stood your ground. you knew he didn’t take you serious, not with the amused look he gave you. in the past month or two, noritoshi was suddenly hit by a growth spurt - you barely reached his shoulder now and he took advantage of that to mock you, often treating you like an armrest. he pat your head condescendingly, pouting at you in fake regret. “aw, did i hurt your feelings? did i make itty bitty little y/n sad?” he mocked you, before abruptly grabbing your cheeks to make you look at him. “i don’t care what you think of me, cry all you want. i strongly suggest you hold that sharp tongue of yours if you know what’s good. know your place.” 

tears filled your eyes; noritoshi had never talked to you this way. what has gotten into him? your heart broke in pieces, unable to take the pain any longer. you were no longer his equal but below him, much like everyone else.

“mum?” you cautiously knocked at the door of her study, waiting for her response. your mother was most likely still awake and dealing with paperwork like she usually did. upon hearing the affirmative noise she made, you flitted inside, closing the door behind you so your father didn’t catch any wind of this. it was already embarrassing enough and you were sure your mother could offer you better advice. you gingerly took a seat on the armchair, grabbing a pillow and hugging it close to your body. how were you going to approach this? hey mum, i have a crush on noritoshi and he’s weird to me now and i don’t know why? uh yeah mum, i caught feelings for the guy you warned me about and now i look like a fool crawling up to you like this? 

“it’s about noritoshi, isn’t it?” your mother interrupted your stream of thought, spinning her swivel chair towards you. 

“huh? oh no it isn’t, why would it be? i have-” 

“y/n.” 

“ugh okay fine, maybe it is about him,” you sighed defeated, of course she would look right through you. she always seemed to know what you were thinking, even when you hadn’t confided in her before. “but promise me you won’t judge me!” the look in your mother’s eyes told you that she was going to judge you regardless but you knew she meant well - she simply wanted the best for you.

“i- i just don’t understand why he’s been such a pain in the ass lately. and he’s been treating everyone like dirt too, including me! mum, he’s becoming someone else and i… i don’t know what to do,” you sniffled inconsolably, wiping at your eyes with the sleeves of your sweater. she wasn’t supposed to see you getting emotional. “he’s always busy and when we do get to see each other, he doesn’t want to spend time with me. what if he doesn’t like me anymore? and i don’t like how he’s treating you! it’s the same issue with the elders, they don’t know any human decency at all!” 

your mother motioned you to scoot over a little and sat next to you, wrapping her arms around you and patting your back to console you. while she meant well, it accomplished the opposite - you broke down in tears, unable to stop your sobs. “i just want my ‘toshi back,” you whimpered upset, burying your face in the pillow to muffle the sound of you crying. “i know you didn’t like that i became good friends with him but i couldn’t help it and i just really like him and- you weren’t supposed to find that out.”

“sweetheart, i know you love noritoshi,” she handed you a tissue. “you let a lot more on than you were aware of; dad and me always knew you were in love with him.” as if on cue, your sobbing stopped and you just looked at her in disbelief. she knew. she knew. you wanted the earth to swallow you whole. “i think it was always pretty obvious, to be honest. you always looked at him as if he was your entire world and no matter what happened, you were always by his side. i know it’s hard to accept when a dear friend is changing but sometimes you just have to, right? both of you are still growing, there’s no way of telling how your personalities change.”

“but i don’t want him to change like this,” you protested stubbornly, glaring at her. she was talking about it as if it was a matter of simply discarding a bad apple in the trash. it wasn’t easy and it made you anxious. you grew up together, shared secrets and memories. he was the person you’d always looked up to.

“y/n.” your mother sounded stern but you didn’t back down, not yet. “is it really worth it? if a person is changing so rapidly and you’re not getting through to them, you’ll have to let it go. there’s only so much you can do. people grow apart sometimes, it’s only natural. you have to let go of them, temporarily, so you both can heal and grow. y/n, i know you’re being stubborn about this but you’ll have to let him figure things out on his own. fate has curious ways to bring people back together.”

when the time came, noritoshi left to attend the kyoto metropolitan curse tech school without telling you a word. you were disappointed, apparently you weren’t worth saying goodbye to. whatever his reason was, it must’ve been pretty important. important enough to forget the promise that you’d always stay in contact. you wondered whether he'd change again, for the better maybe? maybe you would reconcile when you could finally attend the school as well and train together. you were excited to show him your sword skills, having received your family's heirloom, an elegant steel blue sword. though your skills probably weren’t up to par with the other students, you still wanted to show them off, show him what you’d learned in the year that you spent apart.

noritoshi had changed but not for the better. holy shit, did he get on your nerves. the first time he'd practiced with you, you realized that he had mutated into an insufferable know-it-all. he would give you backhanded compliments or make snide remarks about your posture, how you were supposed to hold your sword, how inefficient your fighting style was. sometimes you wished you could just beat him for once and have him shut up. there was no denying though, noritoshi was way too strong and you had a long way to go. judging from the reactions of the others, barely anyone had beat him either. 

and just like that, your feelings for him were buried. you’d taken your mother’s advice to heart, keeping conversations and interactions with him to a minimum but somehow noritoshi always found his way to you. he was everywhere and a quarrel was inevitable. noritoshi got under your skin and he knew how to push your buttons. why he chose to pick on you was beyond your comprehension; he didn’t pay much attention to the other students nor was he particularly liked by them. just how much was he going to get on everyone else’s nerves? out of all the second years, todo aoi was the most amicable; you had the (dis)pleasure to run into him on your first day and for some reason, he took a liking to you. while he was loud and boisterous, mostly doing whatever he wanted, you couldn’t deny that he was a good friend. even though he didn’t care about anyone as much as he cared about takada-chan. at one point, he’d looked at you in sympathy when he caught you staring at noritoshi, patting your shoulder (too forceful): “i’m sorry, y/n, i’m so sorry.” 

you still didn’t know what he meant by that.

ps.: todo knows and he’s kinda judging you for your taste in men

☘️ Pt 3. AgedUp! Sorcerer! Junpei. AU where everything is fine and nothing is wrong.

☘️ (I think Tumblr ate a message i sent you last night i realized Junpei proably would become a closet marine biologist after Moondregs came along seeing how they are a giant ass jelly fish, so here is Junpei and reader on an aquarium date.) (not me spending over an hour looking up an aquarium in Tokyo to make sure this is accurate)

☘️Junpei finally had just decided to turn off his phone after it continued to ring. When he turned it on that morning, your body still curled into his, bracing himself for whatever awaited him. Which turned out to be 50 messages from Yuuji, 30 from Nobara, 60 from Gojo-sensei (seriously this guy), one from Megumi which just read "Did you have send THAT at midnight to my boyfriend? I had been trying to sleep." and an near uncountable number of calls and voicemails. How much they all cared about him and his sex-life was both enduring and concerning. Leaning more towards concerning. They had become his family after the death of his mother, a role they took far too seriously. But it did bring the biggest smile to his face while making his heart swell.

In the end he responded to them as simply as he could including apologizing to Megumi. You still slept on, eyes shielded from the sunlight that streamed into the flat by the shared blanket and his chest. Almost as soon as he sent the message to Yuuji there was a response.

So when do we get to meet them?

Soon, I haven't told them about anything. They only just found out about the scars last night.

Oh shit. How did that go?

Better then expected, its hard to explain over text. But they ended up saying "I love you"

!!!!!!!! No way!!!!! What did you do?

I said it back, and I meant it.

!!!!!WOW!!!! DUDE!!!

I'll tell you about it Monday.

Why can't you tell me today? 😭

Because they are still here and I want to enjoy whatever time I have with them.

WHY are you texting me if they are still there? OMG DUDE!!! Enjoy you day 🤤🥵😉

Junpei shook his head. Yuuji was a ball of sunshine made human even if Sukuna was more a blackhole and arse. It was a wonder that Yuuji had enough sunshine to deal with that, his dower boyfriend, his strange big brother Choso, and Junpei as his bestfriend. But somehow he did. Putting the phone back down he looped both arms around you and held tightly. Though Junpei had been feeling lighter recently. Somethings did dull in their aches with the passage of time. Having something new and bright to focus on helped blunt the edges as well. Not to mention seeing and hearing how you felt about the scars lifted him up higher. You stirred faintly a mewling cry escaping like an exhale. He shifted slightly to see if you were waking up or still sleeping. Blurry eyes looked back at him.

"Good morning."

"Only if there is coffee in my near future." You kissed where shoulder met neck nuzzling in when he shivered.

"If you want coffee I'm going to have to let you go and your going to have to get off of me." He sighed while raising an eyebrow.

Nipping at the sensitive skin before you slipped off him but still tucked close. Reluctance to move and not to just continue to lay in this moment was a weighted blanket on you both. Till his stomach growled. Now there is moment of mortification when your laying in bed with your new lover and they hear that you do in-fact have a body and it makes noise. With a deep shaky sigh he braced himself for what he didn't know.

"I'm hungry too." You murmured against him.

You continued to surprise him. He let out a gentle laugh and kissed the top of your head.

"Well I'll make you breakfast too then. How are your legs feeling now?"

"Better I'm sure I can stand on my own now, if you want help?"

"No its fine. I want to spoil you this morning."

"Keep talking like that and I'll never want to leave."

"That is the master plan." This time he kissed your lips. Both of you setting aside the minor horror of morning breath to enjoy the remembered contact.

Breaking away Junpei got up trying to remember where his boxers had ended up the night before. The floor was cold and he thought about finding socks. Still he got up and went to the hallway kitchen to turn the coffee pot on.

"Do you have any plans today?" You called.

"Not really do you?"

"No. But I'd like to spend more of it with you." Surprised Junpei turned to you with smile, enjoying the blush across your cheeks while you sat up with only the blanket around your shoulders. He continued to set up the pot measuring out the grounds. Hiding a spreading blush of his own.

"I have a pass for the Aquarium in Sumida, is that something you would be interested in?"

"I've never been but it sounds like fun. You must really like the ocean if you have a pass at the Aquarium."

You had no idea, once he had gained Moondregs he had become a little obsessed with jelly fish and then the ocean as a whole. Next to him the coffee started to pour.

"I think its beautiful, at just a glace its so peaceful but the longer you look the more power you see within it."

"That's a beautiful way to put it. Now I really want to see it, but only if you promise to share with me your excitement. Your so cute." He tried to glare at you while pouring coffee into two mugs. Your smile like a thousand stars took away any power it would have had.

"Cream or sugar?"

"Just some cream, I like it strong." He fixed the mugs till it looked right hopefully and brought them over. Sitting back down he handed you the mug.

"Thank you." You pressed a kiss to his shoulder before taking a sip. "Well if you make breakfast I can get ready and then clean up while you get dressed."

"Sounds good. But I will admit I love you like this." His eyes roved around the shapeless blanket knowing under it was your body which was so new and yet beloved to him. Raising an eyebrow you slipped the blanket off. Sucking in a breath and putting his mug on the table Junpei turned to taste the coffee on your lips. Both of you forgetting everything else.

☘️☘️☘️

It was hours later before you both stood in the aquarium. Junpei had instantly tugged you towards the jelly fish. The large tanks on the floor and walls almost made it seem like you were surrounded by the creatures. Excitedly he started to point them out and explain everything he knew about them. For your part seeing the excitement in his eyes and how he seemed to glow as he talked made you fall harder for him. There was so much joy in his actions and how he spoke it was hard not to be effected by it.

"Sorry I'm probably boring you." He smiled sheepishly before pressing a kiss to you forehead.

"I'm enjoying myself, and I love seeing how excited you are." Leaning into his chest, a comforting bliss in the simple act.

"Let me show you my favorite place." His hand tangled with yours.

From the Jelly Fish exabit you moved to Ogasawara Large Aquarium. The back of it, the aquascope, with it small windows and rounded walls left small areas to be able to watch the fish and sharks swim past relatively undisturbed by others. Holding you tucked to his chest while his head rested on your shoulder Junpei began to almost doze with the happiness and warmth buzzing though your bodies.

"Hey don't be falling asleep on me. My legs are still sore and I have no idea how to get home." You whispered in his ear.

"Fine. It's not my fault your so comfortable." Kissing your neck before standing back up still holding you close.

"Flirt." He loved how you shiver at the contact. "This has been an amazing date, we haven't even left and I already want to come back."

"Then come back with me, let's repeat the day tomorrow."

"Including how we woke up?"

"Especially that part." Nuzzling your neck, desire growing bright.

"I like that plan. On our way back can we get something sweet?"

"I already have something sweet." He whispered before nipping at your shoulder a place he had to recently learned was ultra sensitive. Your shiver and laugh was better then sake. Tightening his arms he closed his eyes taking in all he could of this moment hoping that it held the promise of a future overflowing with more moments like these. ☘️

FSUFHD DUDE THIS WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF MY INBOX AHAHA  AQUARIUM DATES WITH JUNPEI YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU 

as someone who’s majoring in marine biology- it makes me extremely happy just to think that junpei would also love sea life. Also, I think it’s canon that he likes ocean related stuff (idk tho I haven’t googled it)

The Engagement | Nanami Kento + Gojo Satoru

SYNOPSIS: You're engaged to Satoru.

READER: gender neutral

WORDS: 1014

WRITTEN: 02/28/2021

NOTES: Sorry this took, like, three weeks to write! I was/am taking a Nanami break.

You knew you shouldn't have expected to stay together with Kento. You weren't usually such an optimist, but Kento was your home.

He made you feel safe and stable. He wasn't wild and unpredictable. He warmed you up whenever you were cold and always offers protection.

But he left. He didn't necessarily leave you, but it was implied when he said he didn't want to become a sorcerer. He was the one to suggest breaking up since he would be too busy at work and you would be traveling the world for missions.

That was how your two-year relationship with Kento ended. It hurt you and you never got over it, but you got better with time.

Of course, you never thought you'd get into a relationship with Satoru. When the two of you were still teenagers, you rarely talked to him.

He was simply your upperclassman who made fun of Kento for having a significant other. You didn't really like Satoru when he was a teenager. You thought he was a little shit, and he still was, but he knew what lines to not cross when it came to you.

You remembered the first time you two had an actual conversation. It was when Kento broke up with you, and all Satoru said was; "I know this café with the best shortcake."

You had stared at him with a blank expression and an insult was on the tip of your tongue, but all you did was nod.

He took you there, ordered for you, and paid for you. He didn't make fun of you or ask you how you were feeling, and you were thankful for that.

You didn't want to talk about your feelings or how you felt because you felt shitty. What else were you supposed to say? “I'm totally okay with my long-term boyfriend breaking up with me?”

Satoru simply talked about himself and how he wanted to change Jujutsu Tech. You ate your shortcake silently but listened to his every word.

Satoru was the opposite of Kento. He was energetic and did things on his own. He was a wildcard, but he was still stable to an extent. He offered you a home and made sure you were always taken care of.

So you said "yes" when he proposed to you after dating for two years. His family had never even met you, but that was because he didn't want you to meet them.

They were horrible people who only cared about bloodlines. You didn't come from any major family, so there was no way they would approve of you.

Satoru didn't care. He enjoyed the fact that his family didn't like you. He laughed for days when you asked him if he was going to invite his family to the wedding.

He had said "Fuck no" and continued to laugh, patting you on your head for being so funny.

When Kento got the wedding invitation in his apartment after coming back from work after spending four days there, he was confused.

He held the invitation in his hand and stared at it, straining his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. He never even knew the two of you had started dating, but it wasn't like he kept in touch with either of you.

He didn't know what he was feeling. Something was gnawing at him and he hated it, but he thought it was because he was sleep-deprived so he let it go.

The next day, when he was waiting for the train to arrive at the station so he could go to work, he texted you a simple "Congrats'' and stared at the message for a moment as if you would reply right away. He put his phone away soon after.

At that time, he didn't think much about what the dreadful feeling in his heart was.

When you got the message from Kento, you blinked a few times before putting your phone away. You didn't bother to respond to him. You weren't hurt by him breaking up with you anymore, but you didn't see the point of texting back.

"Who was it?" Satoru questioned with his toothbrush in his mouth as he leaned half his body out from the bathroom.

You walked over to him and pulled down the cat headband he had on so that it covered his eyes as a makeshift blindfold.

"No one special," you replied.

Planning the wedding took a lot of work and you were thankful Satoru actually cared about the decorations enough to provide input. He mainly took care of the desserts and you didn't mind letting him have free reign on that.

The two of you weren't in any rush to get married so soon. You simply thought it'd be easier to pick out what you liked first at a steady place, then book a venue.

Honestly, Satoru had even suggested simply going to Las Vegas and getting married there within an hour, and you smacked him for that.

Itadori Yuji had put a pause on your wedding, but you didn't mind. Satoru cared for the boy and Sukuna's fingers had put a weight on both of your shoulders.

You had to send letters to all the guests you invited to tell them that the wedding would be postponed due to personal issues.

Kento felt relieved, but he didn't understand why until he saw you in person for the first time in years.

He was still in love with you. You didn't know because of the stoic expression on his face, but he knew.

A feeling of guilt and regret built up in his heart, but he knew there was nothing he could do—not when you looked so happy with that ring on your finger and that closed-eye smile you had when Satoru leaned in to tell you something.

Satoru pulled down his blindfold with his finger and glanced at Kento briefly before leaning down to kiss you.

Kento forced himself to look away from you two as he checked his watch to head to his next mission.

Grapefruit Lotion | Gojo Satoru

SYNOPSIS: He sees someone he thought was dead.

READER: villain!gender neutral

WORDS: 1018

WRITTEN: 04/05/2021

NOTES: Thank you for requesting! This doesn't have that much angst, so I hope it's still to your liking.

You were definitely something to Gojo Satoru. If anyone asked, you were a classmate. If Geto asked, you were his friend. If he asked himself, he wouldn't know how to answer.

He had never been in love before, so he didn't realize that he loved you until Geto pointed it out to him. At that time, he scoffed and brushed it off.

You were different from him. Unlike him, your smiles were often genuine. You enjoyed going to class and participating in missions. You were always eager to help your classmates.

So why did you look so sad now?

He thought you had disappeared. He thought you were dead after a mission when the two of you were still students. He remembered feeling numb for weeks after your death. They never found your body, only traces of your blood.

He never expected to see you after being sent out to a mission in Sendai. There had been cases of mutilated humans being found on the top of people’s roofs.

How was he supposed to react when he saw you, as beautiful as ever, on top of a roof with a bloody weapon in hand and a mutilated body by your feet?

"You're going to die," he said after you hopped off the roof.

You tilted your head. "When has that ever mattered to you?"

Back then, you would have never said something like that. You would have preferred to live on for your fallen classmates.

"This isn't the way to do it," he said.

"Then when? I've hidden for a decade, Satoru. I've bit my tongue in the past, waiting for the right moment. If not now, then when? Doesn't this work well in your favor? Sukuna's vessel is on borrowed time."

"If you murder them, they'll come for you," he retorted.

"I know, but that didn't stop them from murdering my sister. The elders are nothing but old corpses. They only care for themselves. I thought you'd understand."

"Did you really think that? Is that why you sided yourself with that curse?" he questioned.

You hummed. "Mahito's not that bad once you get to know him. He's good company."

Satoru clenched his fists.

He used to keep himself awake at night from excitement because he loved seeing your smile in the morning.

He loved the way pink dusted your cheeks whenever you looked his way and noticed he was already looking at you.

He loved the way you pouted whenever the vending machine ran out of strawberry milk and how your face would light up when he handed you one.

"We're going to get Sukuna's fingers and you can't stop us. The world's going to belong to curses."

"You'll either be killed for being a sorcerer or become a slave," he spat out.

"And I suppose that's the consequences of my decisions."

You took in a deep breath and closed your eyes. You could already envision the kingdom Sukuna would create from the bones and ashes of humans.

You opened your eyes after hearing the quiet rustle of Satoru taking off his blindfold. Blue eyes stared back at you—the same blue eyes you had cried for and destroyed yourself over in the past.

"You're showing me your eyes willingly? I guess you're serious, huh?"

"If you have to die—" He didn't want to say it. He didn't want to even think about it. "—I'd rather you die by my own hands."

You knew he could easily kill you if he was serious, but you weren't backing down easily. You were going to make the elders bow down to you before murdering their families in front of them and then murdering them.

The only sound was from the wind. Other than that, there was silence between the two of you.

It reminded you of the moments where you would be watching a movie with Satoru in his room, quietly kissing with the background noise of whatever movie was playing.

You stepped forward until you stood right in front of him. Slowly, you reached out for him and cupped his cheek. You chuckled at the feeling of his soft cheek against your fingertips.

"Still using the same lotion?" you questioned.

"It smells good," he replied.

It was yours. After it ran out, he continued to buy more and use it. The smell reminded him of you after your supposed death.

"I know. That's why I bought it," you murmured.

With the breeze floating past, you could smell the grapefruit lotion on him. It distracted your nose from the smell of blood from the bodies around you.

The low-class curses stood still behind you, waiting for your command. They were your friends now. You didn't consider yourself a human or a sorcerer. You were a curse to humanity.

If you closed your eyes and thought about your sister, you could remember the way her blood had splattered against the walls of your house. You had been too late.

"Stay safe. I want to see you at the finish line," you said as you retracted your hand from his cheek.

Taking one more good look at his beautiful eyes, you turned on your heel and walked away.

The curses that were behind you followed after you obediently.

Satoru stared at your back and brought his fist up to his face. He opened it and admired the crescent-shaped marks on his palms.

If he had been quick enough to help your sister that day, would you still be your usual self? Would the two of you still be watching movies and kissing quietly in his living room?

Would he still be able to see your smile in the morning? Would he be able to hold you and laugh with you like in the past?

It didn't matter what he fantasized about because you were far too gone. The elders tipped you over the edge and it gave Satoru another reason to hate them.

If anyone asked him who you were to him, he’d tell them you were the person he loved and that you'd be the only one he would ever love.
