Mute and Germaphobe

On the Edge

"Mustard leaf!"

"Y/n, what're you saying?! Are you ok?! Y/n!"

Your body feels heavy, Inumaki and your brother are calling out to you with worry filling them. Your barely open eyes flick over to the special grade curse.

"I-Inumaki.... Just get out. The curse is still...." You coughed up more blood, feeling a sharp pain around your stomach area. "Save yourself."

The poor boy had tears in his eyes. The last thing he wanted was for anyone to die. "Bonito flakes!"

"Y/n. What's going on? Why are you coughing so much?! Are you hurt?!" Kiyoomi's voice still came from the speaker of your phone.

Your gaze never left the curse. "Yeah, I'm beat up pretty bad, Omi. The curse is still here. I don't think I'll make it home this weekend...."

Inumaki turned to the curse, placing your phone in your hand. "Caviar."

He stood up, pulling the zipper of his long collar down. He glared at the special grade, mouth exposed. "Blast... away!"

{Before y'all ask, no this isn't Hanami. Totally unrelated. It's one of those "special grades" that had swallowed one of Sukuna's fingers. None of it is relsted to the actual JJK plot}

"Inumaki... don't... you're gonna hurt your throat." You weakly try to stop him from where you're slumped against the broken wall.

He turned to you with a weak smile, before coughing up blood himself. He fell to his knees, a hand on his throat.

"Y/n, what happened?"

You remained looking at Inumaki. "Inumaki just used his cursed speech against the curse to protect us for a bit, at least until reinforcements arrive."

"How long will that take?!"

"Dunno. Hopefully it'll be soon. My phone's boutta die, Omi. Sorry, but I'm hanging up. I don't think I can remain conscious for any longer."

Kiyoomi hesitated. "It's fine. Just... call me when you're better." He hung up for you.

Your grip on your phone loosened, causing it to slip and land on the ground (undamaged). "Inumaki?"

He looked at you, slowly moving closer. "Tuna?"

"Your throat...."

Inumaki shook his head. "Caviar."

Your eyes started closing. "Someone's gonna come, right?"

"Salmon." He slumped down beside you, leaving enough space so he wouldn't touch you.

You pulled your mask back over your face. "Thanks for coming with me and helping me. And thanks for saving me. If you hadn't used your cursed speech just now, we both could've died."

"Seaweed."

There were loud noises before silence claimed the area. Footsteps were quickly approaching you and Inumaki. Soon, voices could be heard- voices calling your names. The rest had finally showed up and were coming to rescue you two.

Your lips formed a weak smile before you completely lost consciousness. Your body tipped to the right, leaning against Inumaki's still form.

He flinched before glancing over to see you passed out. A small smile spread across his lips. 'Cute.'

"Toge! Y/n! There you guys are!" Maki was the first to approach Inumaki and you.

Gojo snickered as he saw how you two were positioned. "You two dating now?"

Inumaki let out a breath, weakly shaking his head. "Bonito flakes." His voice was hoarse.

"You look like shit." Maki being blunt as fuck.

Kugisaki just looked around. "What even happened here?"

Inumaki internally groaned, quickly looking over to see your condition. He sighed. "Cod roe."

You and Inumaki were currently in the infirmary at Tokyo Jujutsu High. You were still unconscious, whereas Inumaki simply needed to get some medicine for his throat. He could've left right after, but decided to stay and keep eyes on you.

Meanwhile, a certain group of people arrived at the school and were currently in a "discussion" with Gojo and the uninjured students.

"Please calm down." Fushiguro was done with this shit already.

"No! Where's Y/n-chan?!" A certain fake blond was fuming, worried about you.

Kiyoomi shook his head, clearly unhappy that he had been dragged here by Atsumu. "I told you, she got hurt. She'e probably somewhere getting treatment."

Atsumu glared at the sorcerers in front of him. "How'd she get hurt?! And why is she the only one hurt?! Why didn't you keep her safe?! You're the teacher, aren't you?!"

Gojo sighed. He knew this might happen but he really doesn't like dealing with these kind of things. "Look, she and Inumaki split up together. All the dtudents went their own ways. Something unexpected happen that we hadn't planned for and she and Inumaki just happened to get attacked by a curse that was too much for them to handle."

Hearing Inumaki's name sent jealousy coursing through Atsumu's veins. "Why was he with her? And did he get injured too?"

Gojo looked at the boy, blank-faced. "I sent him to provide Y/n support, which he did. He only got injured because he overused his cursed speech. Bith of them are currently receiving treatment at the infirmary and need rest at the moment. So, before you even try asking, you can't visit Y/n."

This didn't sit well with Atsumu. "Why not?!"

Kiyoomi had enough of Atsumu's shit. "Atsumu, shut the fuck up. I'm her twin brother and I'm not even making a big deal over this. Y/n said she'd call when she gets better, now go. You're only bothering them and annoying me by dragging me here just so we can be told something I already knew."

"Hold on." Itadori interjected. "Why can't they visit Y/n?"

Megumi looked at Itadori, his signature frown on his face. "She's still being treated. And you saw how bad she looked, these two don't need to see."

Now that got Kiyoomi's attention. "What do you mean by that? How did she look?" He raised a brow.

Every single one of the sorcerers shared the same thought at that very moment: 'Shit.'
