"Stop pushing me, Kugisaki!"

"Move away then!"

The first-year sorcerers bickered back and forth in front of Nozomi's room.

"Itadori just—"

The two crashed on the ground as the door suddenly opened.

"What are you doing?"

Itadori raised his head only to meet the bored gaze of Megumi. He beamed before standing up along with Kugisaki, who was holding a pizza box.

"Is Fushi-I mean Nozomi awake yet?" Itadori asked Megumi, who was blandly looking at him. He nodded in response as Kugisaki pushed the two away.

"WE BROUGHT PIZZA! NO COMPLAINING!" The short-haired female yelled, which startled Nozomi.

Kugisaki placed the box on her bed with a large grin.

"The other half is all yours. It has extra mushrooms, onions, and black olives."

Nozomi opened the box, and just like what Kugisaki said, it has her favorite toppings.

"Thank you," she smiled genuinely before turning to Megumi, who was still staring at Itadori.

Itadori avoided the menacing stare he was receiving. He was used to Nozomi's hard gaze, but her twin was a different story.

His stare made him feel anxious. 

"I'm going out. Do you want something, Nomi?" Megumi asked, shifting his gaze to Nozomi.

"Cinnamon bun is fine," she replied as he nodded.

"HEY! AREN'T YOU GON-WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU FUSHIGUROS?!" Kugisaki complained, staring in disbelief at the door that Megumi closed. 

He didn't bother asking the two if they wanted something.

Itadori let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He skipped his way towards the bed before grabbing himself a slice of pizza.

"I'm glad you weren't seriously hurt!" Itadori said, shaking his head as Nozomi raised a brow.

"You and your brother both have the same attitude! It's annoying!" Kugisaki said with an irked expression as she munched on her pizza. 

"Nomi is much nicer compared to Megumi-kun!" Itadori said, making Nozomi chuckle in amusement.

Shoko was able to remove the Cursed Bud since Nozomi was drained of cursed energy. She was advised to rest for a while as she was stabbed in the gut. Luckily, it wasn't that deep.

They were talking when all of a sudden, Todo appears between Itadori and Kugisaki. Itadori straight away runs away from Aoi, who chases after him. The two kept on bickering as Todo argues they are best friends since middle school though Itadori shuts him down, claiming they didn't go to the same school.

"Now that's awkward."

"Wait, they are best friends?"

•·················•·················•

"NOMI-CHAN!" The four idiots cried, running to Nozomi as she entered the gym.

She effortlessly dodged them before turning to the others with a small smile.

"Hi."

A week has passed since the Goodwill event ended.

The event was supposed to be canceled after what happened, but Todo argued that they should continue with the event. Everyone agreed as Gojo made Itadori picked their event, which ended up being baseball.
