You checked your phone for the hundredth time in the last five minutes.

1:54 am. No new messages.

You sighed, dropping the device on the couch next to you, reaching for the TV remote. You swapped channel after channel as you searched for something interesting enough to distract your mind from your best friend's absence.

What didn't help your worries were your calls going straight to his voicemail and your text still being unanswered. He wasn't the type to always be on his phone but you would always text each other after a mission, letting the other know your okay.

Ino should have been back hours ago. You've been worried ever since and couldn't sleep, so you had ended up waiting for him in the living room of your dorm.

Two nights ago, you went out with Maki and Nobara for a couple drinks and some harmless dancing, which resulted in you sleeping in, having the worst hangover of your life and, on top of that, missing the numerous calls from Nanami for a mission.

When you finally woke up and called Nanami back, apologizing profusely, he informed you that Takuma Ino had taken on the mission. And the blonde added that he was very disappointed in you. .

You couldn't have predicted Maki and Nobara being able to hold their liquor that much. Being more of a lightweight, you were drunk in no time while they kept the shots coming.

In your defense, you were supposed to have the day off the next day, the calls from Nanami were a total surprise. You were a great special grade sorcerer and you were often one of the first person to get called for missions.

You reached for your phone and looked at the time again. 1:57 am. No new messages.

You sunk deeper into the couch, your body numb from sitting down for so long. You remembered the details about the mission that Nanami reluctantly gave you. It was supposed to be a fairly easy one not far away from Tokyo, a grade 2 curse terrorizing an elementary school. Nothing out of the ordinary and it wasn't anything that Ino couldn't handle on his own. He was indeed a powerful sorcerer.

He was the first person you were introduced to and he had help you with training when you first arrived at Jujutsu High in Tokyo a few years ago, and a beautiful friendship blossomed in no time.

A few weeks back, you had started to notice a subtle change in your attitude whenever the brunette was around you. Your heart fluttering when he looked at you with his familiar smirk, your cheeks reddening whenever he was a little too close to you or when he whispered in your ear, something he loved to do. You were well aware of what it was but you didn't dare say anything, in fear of ruining your friendship.

A sudden noise coming from the front door startled you. You got up and turned to see someone closing the door of your dorm, careful not to make too much noise.

"Takuma?"

He slightly jumped at your voice as you quickly walked towards him.

"Hey, why aren't you in bed? It's super late! Are you ok?" He asked, genuinely concerned as he took off his shoes and his beanie, his long brown locks falling on his face. He brushed them back with his hand.

"I was waiting for you. I was worried sick!" You whisper-yelled. Your gaze dropped, scanning his body for any sign of injury, and that's when you noticed the rag he was holding against the side of his stomach, a crimson liquid tainting it. "You're hurt?!"
