#now I'm laying on a couch staring up at a ceiling ruminating

[abysskeeper]

Very surreal 48 hours

[ilydeku]

Your eyes flutter awake as the dull rays of sun between the clouds softly cast through the living room windows. You frown as the remnants of your dream slowly dissipate as you attempt to remember. The whirring of a lawnmower hums in the distance and the the slow occurring of cars whoosh on by. You sigh, pulling up the white patterned blanket that'd been kicked off during your rest and adjust the pillow between the armrest of the couch and your head. What an exhausting afternoon, except...you didn't do anything really. Just one of those days where your body yearns for untroubled peace...and a nap.

You turn to your back and stare up the ceiling for a moment. It could use a bit of cleaning, you think to yourself, as you could see bits of grime, most likely from the airborne steam, smoke, and oils of cooking. You should probably get that kitchen hood fixed soon. Ugh. Your hands palm into your face and they slide down in annoyance. So much to do, so little time.

But there's always going to be time for you and your boyfriend. A grin lights up your features as your thought begun to fixate on the salmon pink haired man.

"Yuji?" You call into the silent air, sitting up from your little ruminate.

"Yeah?" His voice echoes from the other side of the house, followed by the subtle footsteps down the hallway. He smiles upon seeing you in the living room, laying across the couch, and makes his way over to you. He giggles. You still looked perfect to him with your hair all disheveled and sleep pricked at the corner of your eyes. "Hey, baby! Had a nice na- Mmph!" The sudden grab and yank of the collar of his hoodie sent you falling back on the couch and him onto you. He quickly scrambled to prop himself up, his arms on either side of your body, caging you in.

"Yuji!" You smile reaching up to cup his face. He leans into your gentle touch and quickly melts into your warmth.

"Yes, baby," he coos. "Yuji's here. Did you...need something?" An arm hooks around your waist to sit you up on his lap, and you practically fold at the act.

"Yuuuuujiii...Yuuuji... Yuujii... "

"Babe?"

"Yuji, Yuji, Yuji, Yuuujii..."

"Y/n?"

"Yuji." A kiss is planted on his forehead as you sit up on your knees in front of him and he gets a bit flustered. "I love you, Yuji."

"I love you too, y/n. But..." He cocks his head playfully, gesturing to your redundancy.

"Hehe. Sorry, Yuji. I just like saying your name. It rolls off the tongue, you know? It's kind of cute."

"Ah, is that so? Y/nnn...yyy/nnnn..my y/nnn-"

"Now just wait 'till you start doing that in bed, pfft. That'll rile him all-" Yuji slaps his hand over the mouth that abruptly emerged on his cheek. His heart drops to his stomach while yours races and the air is filled with a sudden silence. He looks away from you, his face burning hot in embarrassment. What do you even say to that?

"Uh...haha... " He clears his throat. "I'm so sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it, Yuji. We know how Sukuna is...heh."

"..."

"..."

"Oh look the sun's setting! I should probably start on dinner for us."

"Great idea, I'll help."
