2.30pm
He has piggybacked you all the way down the hill and stopped by a convenience store(because he was thirsty) and he made you wait while he got the drink, then proceeded to ask if you needed another lift."No thanks, don't wanna tire you out anyways." you tell him. "Well then...wanna hold hands?"
HOLD-HOLD H-HANDS??? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME SAIUBVNAEIBRVNAILJKNV
You blank out for a second, wondering if he's joking. But he's standing there, looking back at you. Then you know, he's serious. "W-Why are you being so clingy today gosh." you stammer, but you know he's winning over you, so you move your hand over to his. Only now do you notice, how you've never touched his hands before. It's very new to you, to hold someone's hand. Itadori notices your shaking fingers. "What? You've never done this before with your ex?" Itadori asks. How is he so blunt, it sounds like he's making fun of me-
You instantly take his hand, but before you interlock your fingers between his, Itadori has touched your wrist, then pulls out your pinkie. "Here, then." he softly speaks, allowing his own right pinkie join to yours, holding onto it like it's a diamond. "Okay now?" he asks, giving you a side-smile. Although disappointed, you're starting to like his idea. "Yeah, pretty cool I guess." you say. itadori shrugs it away after staring you for long, and when you ask what, he just goes "Nothing, you just looked like a clo-OWH!"
You two swing your pinkies back and forth while he whistles a familiar tone to pass the time. Before you know it, you've arrived.
"Wow." is all you have left to say .Itadori stands in front of you with jazz hands.
"Ha? Ha? Cool, right?" he says, hoping you're impressed.
"It's...a grass patch." you say, holding yourself from cackling, cause you know it would hurt this baby.
"Yes! This is where we first met, remember?" Itadori claps and hops around like he usually does. Only now does it all come back to you, the shelter, the mini playground at the corner. The dusty fans above you, the marble chairs. His face, drenched in sweat, both of you under this little hut that felt like home. The place has been repainted a dark blue color now, there's kids playing and running around, their parents watching from afar, a few meters away from you. That time, you weren't sure of what was to come. that was the first time you fled from your responsibilities. But then, you had Itadori. The person you're standing right next to, gazing down at you with worried eyes. Too much has happened, and you wished you could've told him sooner. Because it's starting to hurt, not letting him knows. There's a stubborn lump in your throat.
"I'm so glad I got to know you." your heart says.Itadori reads your face, his smile drops.
Do it.
Say it.
"You...don't like it?"
"I love it." you mutter.
"Great! YAHOOO!!" he yells, dragging you along. He holds you by your shoulders, then covers your eyes with one hand. "Close your eyes." he tells you. "B-But-"
"JUST DO IT!" he demands, laughing. You listen to him, eyes shut, only paying attention to the noise. There's a sound of plastic crumpling, his loud footsteps(he walks like an elephant I swear), something being opened up, like a box or something of that sort. You take a peek, but an urge to keep your eyes closed overtakes it, forcing your eyes to close back. You bite your lip from the excitement. And then you hear a click. "You alright over there?" you jokingly say. "Y-Yes ma'am!" he says like a commander does, and you can already imagine him impersonating a soldier, doing the salute and stand. You giggle to yourself. You begin to smell the burning of lighted wax, and you know there's candles involved. "You need me to light that for you?" you ask. "No I'm good!" you hear him say.
