Your dark, timid room was engulfed in silence, all that could be heard were the soft breaths coming from Gojo beside you. Looking over to your digital clock you saw that it was 4:27 am.

What Itadori said earlier really shook you. Why was it so sudden, and you wondered if sukuna was speaking with Itadori still in his child form? Your deep thoughts were soon interrupted as a ray of light shone on your face from your opening door. A small silhouette stood there still, it was kind of creepy until you heard him speak.

"Mommy?" the voice was so fragile and full of worry.

You lifted yourself immediately at the sound of his voice.

"Itadori is that you?" you undermined, speaking oh so softly.

Sharp breaths were heard, he must have been crying.
You turned on the lamp bedside you, warming the room with dim lighting. He looked at you, his face was wet with tears and looked scared. You gestured for him to come to your bed, as he did you quickly lifted him and placed him on the stomach so he was lying down on top of you.

You rubbed his back as he got hiccups from crying.
You asked him if he wanted to tell you about it, but he replied with a reluctant shake of the head. You put him next to you cradling him with one arm and turned off the light. Still stroking him lightly, his breathing slowed and he soon fell asleep.

...

It was 9:30 and you were making breakfast for the three fledglings, Gojo was in the shower. Itadori seemed awfully quiet, it worried you greatly as you thought that he might have remembered a frightening memory, you knew you had to ask him later but it would be better if he had a full stomach.

"Breakfast is ready!" you announced, soon hearing small footsteps approaching the doorway.

...

Yuji was occupying himself with some colouring when you decided that you wanted to ask him about his small dilemma. You sat in front of him, just observing his face so you could get a grasp of how he was feeling, he looked up at you, then back down as he grabbed a page and handed you with some crayons.

"Do you like colouring butterflies, mommy?"

You smiled and kindly accepted his offering.

"Yes, thank you, baby, for this butterfly's extra pretty."

He beamed at your kindness and soon continued, as did you.

He started a small conversation on why it was okay to colour outside of the lines, almost like he was giving you a pep talk. You giggled here and there until soon you both went quiet.

Now's my chance.

"Yuji, do you wanna tell me why you were crying last night," you said ever so delicately.

He stopped colouring and looked to the side nervously. Opening his mouth he struggled to find the right words to say.

"I had a really scary dream."

"What was it about?"

He stayed quiet for a few seconds, but you were patient.

"There was this man, who tried to tell my friend that he should be evil since others were mean to him all the time. S-so he gave him power so he could attack me. But friends aren't supposed to fight friends so I tried to help him. But then the man, he..."

You looked at him expectantly, still allowing him to take his time.

"What did the evil man do Yuji?" you said, caressing his face so he could keep his calm.

"He turned him into this monster looking thing, h-he crawled over to me... He was crying... crying because he was hurt. But I couldn't do anything. I could only look at him. It was... Too late. And then I felt really angry, like really really angry, but the dream just went back and I woke up really scared."

Transformed into a monster looking thing, gave him cursed energy... Mahito.

You took Yuji into your arms and comforted him. Your mind was racing, their memories were coming back, but how can a child comprehend such horrifying memories.

"Junpei..."

"What was that?"

"That was his name mommy... Junpei." his eyes were trembling and his lips quivered.

"I'm sorry about Junpei Yuji, always know that even if he wasn't saved you did your absolute best, and I will always be here to help you. You're a strong kid so help others, even if it's only those closest to you, just save the people that you can. It's okay if you lose your way, and don't worry about whether they'll thank you or not. Just save as many people as you can even if it's only one."

(yes you miraculously said the exact same words as Yuji's grandfather, go a long with it 👻💃🏾)

Your words echoed in the boy's mind, where had he heard that before. It was all too familiar. Cursed energy started surging around the boy. You gasped in shock as he looked up at you with wide eyes.

"Grandpa."

"Sorry?"

"Thats what grandpa said... to me."

A giant puff of mist clouded the room into a deep haze. You couldn't see a thing, not even the boy sitting in your lap. You soon felt a very heavy figure slump onto you. As the mist settled and you faintly opened your eyes, you were met face-to-face with a teenage boy. He had pink hair, brown eyes with lines underneath, and his small cloths was stretched into oblivion, leaving the boy bare.

You both sat there staring at each other for a good moment until realisation finally set in, you inhaled in shock and yelled. He mirrored your actions as he inched away covering himself embarrassed.

"Y-your grown... GOJO!"

You let out an ear-piercing scream, causing the man to teleport into the room frantically. He went up to you, cupping your face with his hands and asking questions spasmodically about if you were okay. You sat there dumbfounded until you shakily pointed at the boy before you.

He turned around, soon yelling as well.

"Itadori! Your big now?!!!"

"What are you guys talking about?!!... And- WHY AM I NAKED?!"

"AH, get him a blanket!"

You quickly ran to retrieve some coverage for the boy.

You came back and covered your eyes as you threw the blanket at him. He quickly grabbed it and covered his lower half right away.

Gojo went up to Itadori and put him in a playful chokehold, scruffing his hair with his fist.

"It's good to have you back kid!"

"Gojo sensei, what is going on. Where am I? Where's Kugisaki and Fushiguro? AND WHY WAS I IN L/N SENSEI'S LAP NAKED?!!"

"Wait what? Jeez, Itadori, I didn't know you like'em older?" he said questionably.

"Gojo! You idiot, he turned back while I was comforting him."

"You were comforting me?"

"...oh my God," you said rubbing your temples.

"We have a lot of explaining to do."
