Pretty.. /itafushi/Itadori x Fushiguro

Chapter 3 - Give in, Touch

I thought this was a 'falling in love with your best friend' phase, but looking back, I'm probably closer with kugisaki.

There's no doubt.

This is love.

"Fu~shi~gu~ro!!" I float beside him on the way to class. "Good morning!" I say cheerfully.

"Good morning.." he replies.

Fushiguro and I have been getting closer with one another.

During these last few days, I found out that Fushiguro likes any food that goes well with ginger, that his favorite color is dark blue, and so much more.

Yes, it's just tiny little details, but I'm getting one step closer to him.

"Itadori, why are you always around me nowadays?" He makes me snap out of my thoughts.

Why? Because I love yo-

"Well, I just want to know one of my closest friends better." I smile at him, and I swear I could see him smile back. "Awww, Fushiguro! Did you just smile back??" I tease him.

"Tch, no I didn't." He mumbles as He looks away from me.

Dammit, he's just so cute!

We are currently on the way to our picnic. Panda planned this for all of us, the first and second years.

I think it is a good opportunity to get closer to Fushiguro.

..Totally not planning something that weird.

"Hey, you guys made it!" Kugisaki waves at us as we approach the picnic. "You guys are soooo slow!"

"Hey, at least we made it in time!" I argue back.

Surprisingly, this picnic is very fun.

I get to sit next to Fushiguro, so it's even better.

It was exciting to find out about all the different missions the second years went to, especially Inumaki San. Although me and Kugisaki can't understand his rice ball ingredients language, so Fushiguro and the second years translate them for us.

I have never really seen Fushiguro this.. excited, almost.

He seems energetic in a way, so sexy.

Ahem, anyways. I spot his hand. It's a perfect opportunity to hold hands. Although I don't know how he would react.

Should I really do this? He might think its weird and avoid me for the rest of my life and we might never meet again and he might hate me and-

It's fine. I can do this.  Besides, you need to be bold to get your bitches.

I gulp, hopefully not too loud, and slowly drag my hand across the blanket on the floor. My fingertips touch Fushiguro's, and an electric current runs through my body. Okayyy, I'm having a bi panic attack.

I can't take this. I swear my face was as red as the blanket on the floor. Thankfully the others were too wrapped up in their conversation.

I take a glance at Fushiguro, to see him looking at me, the tip of his ears red.

Oh

(OMG THIS IS TOO CUTE FOR MEE AHHHHH)

I swear my heart was trying to escape. It was thumping 100 miles per hour.

We didn't break eye contact, and I was totally not prepared for this.

Okay, I should try the next step. But should I? Would I really be able to take it?

But sadly, before I can decide, Fushiguro jumps up (quite literally), breaking off all the conversations and excuses himself to the toilet.

I just sit there, my face still quite red.

Kugisaki is the first to notice.

"Oh. OHHHHH!" Kugisaki covers her mouth and gasps dramatically. This isn't going to end well for me. "OH MY GOSH. ITADORI." She is practically squealing right now. Me, on the other hand, dying of embarrassment.

"Ohoho," Panda joins in, slowly catching on. "I never knew you liked him, Itadori."

"Salmon, Salmon!" Inumaki san, not you too!

"Eto, you see-" I try to make an excuse, but they are already too into it. They tease me a lot, and it was torture the next few minutes.

Thank goodness Maki san didn't join in.

But at least they didn't judge me for liking a guy, I'm quite glad.

They are good friends, I must admit.

One step closer to Fushiguro..

Fushiguro didn't come back to the picnic. I wonder why.

After we pack up and go back to our dorms, the others say to check up on Fushiguro. I would've done it either way but I agree to it.

I stand in front of his door, my hand ready to knock.

I stay there for about another ten minutes.

Gah, I'm too nervous.

This is nothing to get nervous about. Just knock, ask him if he's okay and go back to my dorm. Simple.

I try to actually knock this time but the door flings open and my nose is whacked. Hard.

"Agh!" I stumble back and grab my nose. That is painful.

"Itadori?" Fushiguro comes closer. He looks worried, with his eyebrows furrowed. "Are you alright? Sorry, I didn't know you were there. Should I get you an ice pack?"

"Nono! It's fine. It's just a whack in the nose. I'll get better in no time!" But it still hurts a lot. ㅠㅠ

"Uhm, alright." Fushiguro rubs the back of his neck, looking very hot.

I need to keep my dick in my pants.

"So, why were you in front of my door?"

"Ah, about that. You didn't come to the picnic after you said you needed the toilet. Are you okay?" I stand up and act like my nose isn't feeling like it's broken.

"Oh, yeah. I'm fine." It's a brief reply, so I'm still a bit curious.

"Are you sure?"

"Y-yeah. I just forgot I needed to do something." The looks away, and he's very suspicious right now. I wonder what he's hiding.

"To do what?" I tilt my head.

"Er, I wanted to check we didn't have any missions lately since I was planning something.." Fushiguro's eyes widen a bit and he looks away quickly. "Uhm. I mean, nevermind."

Hmm. Just what is he hiding? He's acting so shy, this is definitely something important. But I shouldn't pry. Respect everyone's boundaries!

"Alright then! At least you're doing okay!" I give him a grin, and turn to my dorm.

"..Thanks, Itadori." I look back at him to see his.. smile. I turn around to hide my blushing face.

Damn.

It was so pretty..

A/N: I literally love this chapter. THEY ARE SO CI-UTE!! Also, I'm not really sure if I should be shipping Maki x Yuuta or Inumaki x Yuuta. I will probably use one of them, but I still can't decide. Help. 

See you in the next chapter!
