Pretty.. /itafushi/Itadori x Fushiguro

Chapter 12 - Love

Me and Kugisaki went to check on Fushiguro as soon as I calmed down. Gojo sensei has already seen him, so he said he would be at the classroom.

I open the door slowly, to see Fushiguro laying on the bed. He's still asleep, and he looks in pain. I rush over to him and kneel, looking at him in concern. He has a fever, I can tell since he has a really red face. He seems so.. fragile.

"He's fine, he just needs a lot of rest." Ieiri sensei says, popping out of nowhere. I jump, and she chuckles.

"Are you sure?" Kugisaki asks Ieiri sensei. "He doesn't look okay."

"Yes, but rather than physical pain, he's suffering a lot mentally. The curse did something to his brain, but I'm not sure what. It might take him days to recover, months even." My eyes widen at her words, and I suddenly feel guilty. I was chilling at school while Fushiguro was fighting for his life. Dammit. I couldn't save another person. The most important person to me. I was about the stand up, but I sense some movement in the bed.

Then Fushiguro starts to shuffle, and he slowly opens his eyes.

"Wha-huh?" He says, his voice hoarse. I lean towards him a bit more, and Kugisaki goes to the other side of the bed to check on him as well.

"Fushiguro!! Are you alright?" I ask him, trying not to be too loud since he's at a vulnerable state. His eyes seems like it's going places, and I can't read him.

"I-itadori?" He says, but he doesn't meet my eyes. "Where am I?" He asks, unaware of the other two in the room. He seems so different, he's showing me a new side to him. Ieiri sensei then coughs, probably on purpose for him to notice them.

Fushiguro then turns his head towards the two, and his eyes widen, just a little bit.

"Oh, you guys are here too?" he says, and he's back to his cold self. Why was he being like that to them? Does he not trust them?

"We were here the whole time, dummy." Kugisaki gives him a dirty glare.

"Sorry, didn't notice you." Fushiguro replies, totally not sorry.

Fushiguro looks back at me, and tells the others to go away. He says it in a nice way, but he seems a little bit desperate.

"Hah? Why should we go? We came here to check up on you, thank you very much." Kugisaki starts to argue, but Ieiri sensei drags her out of the room. I can still hear Kugisaki, but other than that we're all alone. We stay in silence for a while, since I don't know what to talk about.

"H-how was your mission?" I ask him.

" I didn't go very well as you can see." Fushiguro replies, still looking at me. "I got stabbed." He says while pointing to his chest. I give him a nervous laugh. That was a bad conversation starter.

"Are you alright? Ieiri sensei said that you were suffering, mentally." I say as I recall those words.

"Yeah, I think I'm alright. Besides, you're here with me right now, right?" His words surprises me. Is he flirting?? "It wasn't anything that bad, just some memories I didn't want to remember."

"You can always talk to me about it if you want." I offer him, but he refuses. He seems distracted. "You sure?" I ask him twice just in case he changes his mind.

"Yes, if i ever wanted to talk i would go to you first, alright?" He reassures me with a smile, but winces at the pain of doing so. I hand him a cup of water, then he sits up to drink, while i watch him take every sip. Why is he so beautiful in whatever he does?

"I'm feeling much better, thanks." Fushiguro tells me after the cup of water. He looks to the outside of the infirmary (idk if it has any windows sorry) and stares at the trees. He seems like he wants to be alone, and i understand that.

"Well, i'lll get going now. I need to do something." I tell Fushiguro, making him snap out of his trance. He turns to face me, his whole body relaxed. "Hey, I hope you get better soon." I give him a wave, and a nice big smile. Fushiguro says a quick bye I then leave the room, smiling at the thought of Fushiguro.

But, I'm greeted with an angry face as soon as I step out.

"OI! What was that?! Have a nice chat and leave me out of it? Gee, thanks!" Kugisaki rambles on as I walk towards the entrance. "Where are you going?" She looks eager to go shopping, and I tell her it's for Fushiguro.

I think this is a perfect time to confess, as soon as he gets better, of course. I'm thinking of cherry blossom trees and a good weather.

I tell this to Kugisaki, and she is obviously in. I spend the rest of the day basically preparing, since Fushiguro will be out of the infirmary tomorrow. At least that's what Kugisaki said.

We finish the preparing by 16:00, and me and Kugisaki head back towards the school. This better turn out well.

A/n: Hi guys! This is probably nearing the end, and I really hope you guys are enjoying the plot. I've jumbled the story up multiple times because it just didn't feel right, so I'm really sorry it took ages!! Also it was my birthday 2 days ago, so I was a bit busy. Once again thanks for all the support!!
