"fushiguro?!" nobara and yuji fretted at the sight of the two of you laying asleep on the ground,

"oh you two are back.. i'm glad you're okay," he muttered lowly,

"thank god! we thought you were dead for sure!" yuji exclaimed,

"uhh, what about y/n.." nobara pointed. yuji's face dropped,

"y/n!! wake up! wake up! you better not be dead!" he screamed into your ear, grabbing a hold of you and shaking you, eventually waking you up,

"shut up! oh my god!" you slapped him away and then went back to sleep. nobara and megumi snickered at the boy,

"rude.." he muttered.

╰┈➤

after a second, you then realised what was going on. you felt yuji carrying you back to nitta with nobara and megumi to go back to the school,

"oh! hey guys, are you okay?" you asked, as if you didn't just tell yuji to shut up 2 minutes ago,

"i'm not answering that." yuji responded,

"we're fine, the question is, are you okay?" nobara sneered,

"yeah, i'm good.." you smiled softly. yuji gently set you in the back of the car between him and nobara. he set your head on his shoulder and you just accepted it considering you were tired.

once you got to the school, you went back to your dorm and immediatedly called gojo up after remembering what you had learnt during your fight with the special grade,

"and what is my lovely student doing, calling me at 1 in the morning?" he spoke on the other side of the phone,

"gojo! you'll never believe what i learnt!" you exclaimed in excitement. you hadn't been this excited to tell him something in ages,

"well you sound excited so it must be good... what is it?"

"okay so you know how we all just went on a mission? well, when i was really injured, i learnt reverse cursed technique!"

there was a small silence. he then chuckled in disbelief,

"for real!?"

"yeah seriously! there was a huge hole in my gut! wait i'll turn my camera on!!" you turned the camera on then lifted your t-shirt up, revealing the large scar on your stomach,

"woah! it looks like you did..." he smiled, "my students are really the cherry on top! three of the them take out one first grade each, and one of them learns reverse cursed technique!"

"is it really because of you though," you teased,

"of course it is! anyways, we'll chat about this when i get back. right now i need my beauty sleep,"

"okay so when does the beauty come in?"

"meanie! goodnight y/n-chan,"

"night," you hung up the phone and sighed.

you were glad you learnt that. it would be really helpful considering how much you tend to injure yourself. you also wanted to to try use it to heal others, which is something you'll have to work on later.

╰┈➤

you walked over to your bedroom, ready to sleep when you heard a knock on your door. it was yuji. he showed up with red, puffy eyes, and he just looked rough in general,

"yuji, are you okay??" you grabbed his arm in concern. he just shook his head and sighed,

"can i talk to you.." he spoke lowly, in a croaky voice,

"of course. come into the bedroom, i was just about to sleep,"

he followed you onto your bed where you laid down and he just sat,

"so.. what's on your mind?"

as soon as you said that he started tearing up. you panicked a little not knowing what to really do. you just hugged him and laid his head on your shoulder to let him cry.

you set your head on top of his, burying your chin in his pink hair,

"do you wanna talk about it?" you muffled. he took a few breaths and spoke,

"you know how kugisaki and i killed those curses back there?" he asked,

"mhm,"

"well, i'm glad that me and kugisaki made it out alive but, those 'curses' or whatever they are... they didn't vanish when we exorcised them. we killed them. they also.. cried,"

your eyes slightely widened. what could they have been then?

"i might be overreacting or something, but... tears were shed over the lives i ended today. and the worst part is that this isn't even the first time.." he muttered, "i'm sorry for crying all over you," you just sighed and stroked the boys hair,

"yuji, you aren't overreacting, i promise. also, it's okay to cry. you can cry all over my shoulder for all i care," you chuckled,

"just know that what you did was right.. imagine how many people they could have hurt being that powerful. though tears were shed today, you just stopped even more from being shed in the future,"

"i guess you're right," he sniffled, "thank you,"

"it's no big deal, yuji," you smiled. he hugged you tighter, pulling your waist towards him,

"can we stay like this for a bit? please,"

you slightly blushed at his boldness,

'i mean.. he's technically asking me to cuddle. he wants me for real!!'

you shook your dumb thoughts off and nodded your head,

"yeah but it's not my fault if i fall asleep, i'm tired and you're lowkey cozy,"

yuji chuckled slightly at your response,

"i guess i'll just stay the night. if that's fine by you,"

"well, it's fine by me,"

"cool," he replied,

"cool," you repeated,

"goodnight, y/n,"

"goodnight, yuji,"
