"See? I told you Yaga would love you!"

"Did he like me or did he feel guilty sending a child back out on the streets and also shattering your heart?

"Hmph, you're no fun." Gojo pouted.

Yesterday had felt like the weirdest dream but here Y/N was, walking around the Jujutsu High campus after a full night's rest on an actual bed. Reality hadn't fully settled in, but she was enjoying her new life so far.

"Can I ask you something, L/N?" Gojo's voice dropped to a more serious tone.

"Ask away." What could he be thinking?

"Why did you throw those cards at the curse yesterday? I mean, I've seen some interesting things, but hurling a whole card deck? That's new." He chuckled to himself, unable to keep up the serious facade.

Y/N's cheeks flushed and she stuttered, embarrassed at how stupid she must have seemed to him.

"Oh-" Gojo saw she looked upset, "I didn't mean to insult you. I'm genuinely curious, why cards?"

"I don't know..." she pulled the deck out of her pocket and turned it over in her hand, "They're special to me. I panicked and threw the first thing I could grab, which was the box of 'em."

"You ever tried throwing the cards themselves, not the whole box?" He tried and failed to keep another fit of laughter in.

"STOP LAUGHING! It is so not funny!" Y/N shook her head and turned away so he couldn't see her holding in laughter too.

"Seriously though, have you?"

"I have. I was pretty good at it too, but I stopped. My mother, she didn't like it."

"Ah."

The conversation died out. Gojo said he'd keep her affinity for cards in mind, but Y/N was sure he was just saying that to be kind.

Late summer sun sparkled through the leaves and bathed the buildings in a warm glow. There was a welcoming feeling in the air and the birds were singing sweet melodies all around. The white-haired instructor was showing Y/N the important buildings around campus that she should be aware of. As they were walking down a hallway, a boy with black hair came into view at the opposite end.

"This is where you'll be staying. The first year dorms." Gojo gestured to the rooms along the hall. His eyes lit up as he saw the boy. "And this young man right here is my beloved student Fushiguro! I've known this kid since he was a sassy little elementary schooler."

Fushiguro tried to move away as Gojo ruffled his hair and showed him off to his newest student. He acted annoyed but his dark blue eyes betrayed his true amusement at Gojo's pride in him. He turned to Y/N, acknowledging her.

"Hey." His voice was sweet, despite his cold demeanor.

"Hi."

"You're a new student?"

"Yep, that's me. I'm L/N Y/N." Y/N laughed awkwardly, unsure of what else to say.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Fushiguro Megumi." Fushiguro smiled at her. "Welcome to Jujutsu High."

"Thanks. Are you a first year too?"

"I am."

Gojo let the two keep talking while he took a call. He quickly said his goodbyes and left to go take care of some business, but promised to return shortly.

"So you mean a few hours, right?" Fushiguro teased Gojo.

The blindfolded instructor flipped him off as he kept walking away. Fushiguro and Y/N laughed together.
