"so...how are you? everything going well at your new school?" hideyoshi threw the question into the room when he had finally plucked up the courage to ask after a long fifteen minutes.

you looked up briefly from your cell phone to meet his awkward figure. "everything's fine." you replied curtly and turned your gaze back to your screen, only to feel dissatisfied with your answer after a few seconds of silence. "i have two other classmates besides satoru. we all get along quite well, i suppose." you explained to him and tried not to cut the conversation short this time.

your brother smiled a little. "you're only four in a class?"

you grinned and shrugged your shoulders. "four in the whole school, actually. it's not like there's a bunch of people who can see curses, right? and there's even fewer who agree to be sorcerers, especially if they're not from this world." you stated. "our teacher wants to find two or three more students by the beginning of the year, but we'll see how well that goes."

your brother hummed. "i'm glad. it's good that you've found your people." he replied before plucking up his courage again to ask you another question. "so...you're happy where you are right now?"

you nodded and yoshi could see that you were genuine while answering. "yeah. i guess, i am."

that makes me feel worse, but i deserve it. "sorry, you're kinda here because of me. yami kept bugging me to tell you to come until i eventually gave in. that freak even insisted that he had to watch how and when i send you the message."

bugging was a nice word to replace whatever he probably did. "it's okay. i'm sorry that i got so angry earlier. i suppose being here alone stresses me out, i don't even need to run into anyone or anything." you sighed, not exactly proud of your performance. "but yami isn't as stupid as he looks. i probably wouldn't have come if it hadn't been you who texted me. it doesn't matter if it's about something like sukuna's finger or not."

you didn't say that to flatter him or anything. it was just - that was your conclusion after you thought about the whole a bit even if you didn't exactly know why. "don't get me wrong, you still suck for letting fucking delilah take my finger. i mean yeah, we have enough sorcerers around here to do damage control if something happened to the seal but it's just unnecessary in the first place."

yoshi doubted that anything could happen, you just worried too much. "i think your overthinking is unnecessary. after all, we are talking about a seal that you made. besides, it's not my fault she found it. where did you hide it anyway?"

it feels like i'm talking to a wall. "in takko."

yoshi blinked a few times at your answer. to give a little explanation - takko was like your family dog. a small and old one that somehow still had enough energy to run around and scare little birds away. "you can't be serious."

you shrugged your shoulders as if you didn't know where his surprise was coming from. "i still think that it was a pretty good hiding place. though, he probably threw it up a while ago or something because i just honestly can't really explain it any other way."

i don't even want to ask how - it doesn't matter. "you're weird."

"your face is weird," you replied, pulling your phone out of your pocket after you felt it vibrate. looks like satoru sent you a couple text messages a few seconds ago and you stood up from your seat with a heavy sigh when you finished reading.

your brother looked curiously at your figure. "what is it?"

your hand massaged your face in annoyance. "i don't know, man and i kinda don't want to." you replied sternly and headed for the door. "i hate weddings."

satoru
i don't think that ur family likes me cuz they've been looking at me funny ever since i showed up here ://

satoru
maybe its cuz they can't stop themselves from admiring this beautyyy ;p
satoru
nvm your brother just said that he s gonna kill me if i don't fuck off like i mean yea, i'm here without an invitation but ehm, rude???

quite a while after that...

"...and what exactly happened after you rushed to the little princess's rescue?" geto asked curiously when you didn't continue with the story. you were all gathered in your room where you and gojo gave your two non-present friends a short recap of the events from the previous day.

gojo grinned widely while he interrupted you. "she decided to marry me in the heat of the moment, to make her brother jealous and steal the spotlight."

you just looked at him quizzically while geto honestly wasn't sure about that statement. "chat is this real."

"of course not!" you quickly replied, already disappointed that he even had to ask. "besides, ew? why would i want to make my brother jealous, you freak? i think the word you're looking for is pissed because that would make him pretty pissed."

before satoru could open his mouth to say something along the lines of - so we should do it - he was interrupted by shoko. "listen to me. i need you to focus for five minutes to tell the end of the story and not drift off into irrelevant stuff, okay?" she clarified and watched you two nodding. "so, what happened?"

you and satoru looked at each other for a second before turning back to the other two. "a little arguing, a lot of yelling and I think there were even a few tears shed?" you summarized as briefly as you could because you honestly couldn't remember the whole thing that much. "i think satoru used blue?" you mentioned a little uncertainly.

he nodded as he hummed. "i did, but i only after your brother tried to play zeus and rained lightning down on me."

there's finally a story we want to hear and then they tell some half-assed version of it. suguru thought to himself and gave up on asking for any further details. he would have to be satisfied with the knowledge that the two of you crashed a wedding and apparently got into a fight with the bride, groom, and others (?) but wasting two hours of my life explaining digimon lore is no problem whatsoever.

"i hate you guys." pronounced shoko, equally exhausted. "you at least have the finger or...?"

"of course, we have the finger!" you shouted out in offense, pulling out the sealed cursed item. "you don't even want to know what i did to get this fucking thing, because that's a whole other story." you laughed out.

but suguru and shoko didn't find it funny at all as they shouted at you two in sync. "we do want to know!"

did u notice how i didn't feel like doing the whole family backstory arc anymore, because i didn't😔
