beside you , yuji itadori x reader

twenty nine

╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅──╮

you were woken up from the cold hard floor of the train station. you saw megumi standing above you and nobara was gone, probably for an autopsy report,

"are... are you okay?" megumi hesitantly asked.

you started tearing up. you shook your head 'no' and let a tear roll down your cheek before smiling,

"i'll be fine, though,"

he nodded in response,

"come on, let's go find itadori." he said nonchalantly, "we're gonna need his help for something,"

"alright,"

you both walked for a little bit then saw okkotsu and yuji sitting near piled up cars, talking to eachother. you slightly paused,

'since when was he back?!?'

both of them turned around and saw you and megumi walking up to them,

"fushiguro.. y/n," yuji muttered,

"yuji," you walked up to him and gave him a quick hug to which he gratefully accepted.

"what're you guys doing here? let's get back to jujutsu tech," megumi sighed,

"hi, okkotsu-senpai," you smiled softly,

"hey, y/n? how have you been?- actually wait nevermind don't answer that. i'm sorry," okkotsu rambled slightly. you simply chuckled.

you were really happy that okkotsu was back. not only did you miss him on a personaly level, but he was also going to be a very powerful ally,

"let's all rejoin with the older students and-" megumi continued before getting cut off by yuji,

"stop!" he shouted, "don't just act like everything is normal! i.. i killed people! because of me, lot's of people died!"

your eyes softened upon hearing yuji's words. it absolutely broke your heart knowing he blamed himself for all of this and you couldn't bare to see him in such a state. megumi stopped his rant,

"it's all of our faults. don't be selfish and just give up all alone," he spoke, "we aren't heroes. all we are jujutsu sorcerors, we save who we can,"

you looked down to the ground as megumi went on his little rant and explained what was happening next. it was something called the culling game,

"so please, itadori, save me. tsumiki is ensnared in the culling game. i'm going to need your's and y/n's strength. i'm begging you..."

you watched yuji slightly soften up at megumi mentioning his sister's name. he nodded and looked up,

"so what should i do?"

╰┈➤

after you all went through a plan, you all decided to get up and start walking to jujutsu high. that was the plan until yuji asked a question you didn't want to know the answer to,

"sorry, y/n, fushiguro. but i have to ask.. what happened to kugisaki?"

megumi stiffened up and your eyes started welling up with tears again, immediately giving yuji his answer.

he clenched his fists and shook a little,

"oh- i see. i get it. okay," is all he managed to choke out.

you held your tears in for now because you didn't want pity from the boys. it was the last thing you needed at the moment. but you knew you were going to break down as soon as you got into your dorm.

out of nowhere, a guy with weird pigtail things and a stripe across his nose spoke up. he started talking about the jujutsu high barrier and the way to bypass it.

you looked around to see everyone's reactions and it was if they already knew this guy,

"i'm sorry, but who are you?" you asked quietly,

"i am choso, yuji's brother,"

"huh? brother!?" you looked towards yuji,

"it's a long story, i'll tell you about it later," he sighed,

"uh huh..."

╰┈➤

you all got back to the school and went into your dorms to freshen up and get some rest after the long night every had.

the school was a lot quieter than it usually was and a lot less lively. it sucked.

once you got into your room, you immediately started bawling. everything that happened felt like a complete fever dream, like it didn't feel real at all.

you missed nobara so much. you realised that if she's truly gone, there's no more spontaneous visits, no more shopping sprees, no more girl talk. you couldn't stand the fact that it was all gone.

you curled yourself up on your bed, drowning in your own sorrow. you then heard a familiar voice outside your bedroom door,

"y/n? it's me yuji. sorry, i knocked on your front door but you never opened up and i got worried,"

"i'm fine, yuji," you replied from your room, your voice slightly cracking,

"don't lie to me, y/n. i'm coming in,"

yuji walked into your room and immediately rushed to hold you seeing how sickly you looked. you were pale and shaking with red, teary eyes.

he held you tightly in his arms, rocking you slowly. you guys sat there for a little in a peaceful silence until it was eventually broken by yuji,

"i'm so sorry," he sniffled,

"yuji, what?"

"i'm so, so, so sorry, y/n," he started to tear up, his voice faltering ever so slightly,

"it's not your fault, yuji. i told you this already.." you cupped his face in your hands,

"no, y/n! i've caused so much pain. just look at you! because of me, nanami and kugisaki died... so many others died as well and it's all because of me,"

"yuji, it wasn't because of you! things just happen and there isn't anything we can do about it anymore. we can be sad about it, of course, but blaming yourself when you did absolutely nothing doesn't help anything,"

yuji simply sighed at your little lecture,

"i guess you're right," he looked down from your gaze. you gave him a kiss on the cheek and a small smile,

"i think we'll be okay, yuji. how about we get some rest," you pulled him down into the bed with you, holding onto his torso tightly. he chuckled quietly, wrapping his arms around your waist and entangling his legs with yours,

'maybe, everything will be okay,'
