I'm trying my best right now with chapters.
Since it's my last term for the year. 🫡

Second Person POV

Am 'All You Can Eat Buffet' is what you two had
decided as both of you were desperately starving.
Stuffing your faces with heaps of wagyu, rice,
noddles, and basically anything else they had out that looked mouth watering. Tucked away onto
one of the more private areas making it easier
for Toge to have his uniform collar down. It was surprising that they could squeeze you in
for a table though you've been here with Gojo
before. Mainly for celebrations. "You're enjoying yourself?" You ask him as he nods; indulging
himself into some seafood. "Tuna Mayo?" He
sees that you were eating more than usual
which was something he liked to see.

"My food is good too. I also lied about lunch."
You admit to him as he looks at you surprised.
"I had eaten before training. But I knew you hadn't
so I made the excuse to join you." Continuing on,
not seeing how baffled he was. Though you didn't
have much for lunch earlier, only having a bowl
of rice as a temporary thing to fill your stomach.
"Bonito flakes." He shook his head, yet his lips
curled upwards. "Don't disagree with me! You
know I'll leave you resting there next time!" You
acted offended by him. Inumaki laughs before
picking up something with his chopsticks and
offering it to you.

"Tuna Tuna." He gesture, leaning forward you
open your mouth for him to put the food in.
An indirect kiss- Trying not to choke at the what
popped into your mind. Which failed miserably
as a fit of coughs erupt causing you to stand up
immediately. "It's just a bit spicy-" You try to
excuse, heading to the bathroom and leaving a
poor flustered Inumaki. Ignoring the stares sent
to the both of you.

•••

The cooling temperature of the water you splashed
didn't wake you up at all, whatever just happened
wasn't a dream. It actually happens. Though
maybe it was just a friendly gesture that you were
over thinking. But he feed you with his chopstick
instead of just placing the food on your plate.
Though you would have to leave the bathroom
and face him eventually. Taking a deep breath
you turn off the sink and use paper towel to dry
your gloved hands then your face. Trying to
remain compose despite the swift beating of your
heart against the shell of your body.

You exited the bathroom to see that Inumaki was
waiting by the entrance of the restaurant. His
attention on his phone as he held a water bottle
in hand. "Sorry about that," you apologise to him
as he looks up and shake his head towards you.
Holding the bottle of water to you. "Mustard Leaf?" You nod in affirmation; taking a drink of the
water, then handing it back to him. 'Want to go
back or grab something sweet?' eyes reading over
the text he shows. "Yeah, I should go pay for lunch
then." You were going to head to the where the
counter was but then Toge suddenly grabs your
arm. 'I paid already,' he had then texted.

"Let's just grab ice cream then we walk back since
it's still very hot."

•••

The walk back was excruciating, you all sweaty and
your hair was tied into a mess to cool yourself
down. Your training clothes felt sticky against
your skin, clinging like a second layer. Inumaki
and you had to scoff down the ice creams you
bought within the first five minutes of walking up.
But it was like you were born again once you two
had arrived back onto the campus, retreating
to the dorms. Here you were in Maki's flopped
face first into her freshly made bed which she had
yelled at you for ruining it. She had only stopped
when you begin to tell her of what happenedd
Which now lead to the situation now of having
Nobara, Megumi, and her listening.

"So you mean to tell me you guys went on a date? And basically had an indirect kiss with him?"
Maki exclaimed as you nodded. "And you didn't
make a move on him?" Nobara chimes in with
her. "Y/n!" They both begin shaking your shoulders
as you look over at Megumi for some help yet he
shrugged, not wanting to be involved. "What we
talking about?" Oh great Panda too. The bear
enters, sitting himself down on the floor. He was
eager to hear what was going on as usual; the
two girls had begin to fill him in. Giving an clear
opportunity for Megumi to leave without notice, when you were just about to do the same
they dragged you right back into Maki's dorm.

"And where do you think you're going?" The three
asked as you now laid on the floor with them
towering you. There was no escape from what was
going to be more tormenting. "I was just going to
leave and go clean up." You tried to excuse yourself
as you sat back up. "Yeah right. Come on we're all
sick of drowning in all this romantic tension that
you guys have!" Nobara claims. You were sick of
it too. But making a move was easier said than
done. "She's right just make the move at this
point. What worse could he say? No?" Panda
backs her up. Neither of them were wrong.

"I'll think about it." You tell them before then
getting up to leave, seeing Megumi had waited
for you. "What's up?" You had asked after sliding
Maki's dorm door fully shut. "You look distressed.
You also look like you need someone who'll just
listen." He comments, this was his indirect way
of saying that he's that someone. It was sweet of
him to offer even if it's very cryptic.

"Maybe later."
