you woke up in the nurse's room with your head absolutely pounding. you tried getting up but felt yourself get pushed back down,

"hey, hey, you're awake!" you heard voice exclaim. you slightly squinted your eyes and saw itadori with a face of relief, "don't force yourself to sit up, you had a really bad concussion during the event,"

"itadori??" you asked, just to make sure since you were still in a but of a daze,

"yeah! it's me," he took a hold of your hand and squeezed it comfortingly, not letting go,
"i'm glad you remember my face, i was worried you would get memory loss or something," he chuckled,

"i don't think it was that bad," you smiled, "can you get me some painkillers, please. my head is pounding,"

"of course! i'll go get some for you now,"

"thank you,"

itadori came back a couple minutes later with painkillers and a cup of water. he took hold of your hand again. you took the painkillers and chuckled at the sight of itadori grabbing your hand like you were going to run away,

"you miss me or something?" you teased. his face slightly heated up and looked down,

"honestly, i was pretty worried for you.. you were bleeding pretty badly," he sighed, "i'm just glad you're awake now,"

"where's megumi and nobara?" you asked,

"megumi is in another ward, nobara is accompanying him. do you feel like visiting?"

"yeah, please,"

he smiled and helped you up, grabbing a hold of your waist to make sure you don't completely fall since you were still dizzy from the concussion.

he led you to megumi's ward. nobara's eyes lit up when she saw you. she ran up to give you a hug,

"y/n! i was so worried about you!" she whined,

"i'm glad you care," you chuckled, "hey megs, are you okay?" looking at the boy with a pizza box on his lap,

"yeah, i'm okay. are you? you took a pretty bad hit.. there was blood literally pooling out of your head,"

"yeah, it wasn't a great look on you, y/n. red doesn't suit you," nobara added

"wow, thanks for the input nobara. i have a bit of a headache but i'm okay," you shrugged,

"come have some pizza!" nobara exclaimed. you chuckled as itadori led you to the chair to sit down.

he grabbed another one and set it next to you, holding onto your hand once more. you looked at it and spoke lowly,

"what's this about?"

"please don't question it for now," he sighed. you rose a brow,

"i'll question it later then.."

nobara then looked at you and down towards your hand that was intertwined with itadori's. she looked at you with a questionable look and began talking,

"so itadori, when did you start becoming friends with that gorilla?"

"i remember what happened but i wasn't really myself at the time.." he responded,

"so you were drunk?" nobara deadpanned, taking a bite of the pizza,

"do you really think i'd be the type to drink in that situation?! that hurts, kugisaki..." itadori shook his head dissapointingly, "but anyways.. we're glad you guys are okay," he looked towards you and megumi. you smiled at them softly,
