Yuji's nose nuzzled the side of your neck.

You smiled. "Yuji - there's a movie playing. Shouldn't you be paying attention to that?"

Yuji's breath tickled your skin, warm and soft. His arms snaked around you, pulling you against him with a possessive but gentle force. "I don't care about the movie," he murmured, his voice thick with that same adoration that always made your heart twist in a complicated mix of affection and unease. "I'd rather be here with you."

You tried to ignore the way his words made your stomach flip. "But it's your favorite movie," you pointed out weakly, glancing toward the TV screen where the action-packed scene was unfolding. The room was dimly lit, the flickering light from the screen casting eerie shadows along the walls. The sound of the movie seemed distant, drowned out by the constant presence of Yuji's warmth pressing against your back.

"I don't care," Yuji repeated, his lips brushing against the side of your neck. His hands slid down to your waist, tightening their grip as if he were afraid you might slip away. "I care more about you."

There was a softness in his words, in the way he held you, that could have been comforting in another life, in another situation. But here, in the suffocating atmosphere of the house, it only made everything feel heavier. You forced a smile, though it was weak and strained.

"Yuji," you said, trying to ease away, but his grip only tightened. "You're smothering me."

He chuckled softly, nuzzling the crook of your neck again, as if your words were a playful challenge. "I'm not smothering you. I'm just loving you." His tone was so genuine, so utterly sincere, that for a moment you almost wanted to believe him. You wanted to believe this was just affection, nothing more, that the tightness in your chest wasn't fear but longing. But the truth was far darker, and you knew it.

As you remained still, trapped in the warmth of his embrace, your mind wandered back to the past—before this all became so complicated. There was a time when his affection had been sweet, innocent even. But now, you could feel the way it had morphed, become something insistent and consuming. The others weren't much different, either. Megumi, Nobara, Gojo, even Sukuna—each of them had changed, each of them had drawn you deeper into their world of obsession, until you didn't know where love ended and control began.

You swallowed hard, but before you could say anything else, Yuji's voice interrupted your thoughts, soft and tender, but laced with that familiar intensity. "You've been so distant lately... I don't like it."

The words hit you like a brick. Your heart stuttered in your chest. "Distant?" you asked, trying to sound more casual than you felt.

"Yeah," he said, his hand cupping your chin and gently turning your face toward him. His eyes—wide and brown, full of a warmth that should have comforted you—looked down at you, searching for something you weren't sure you could give him anymore. "You used to look at me like I was everything. But now..."

His voice trailed off, the unspoken accusation hanging in the air between you. You knew what he meant. You knew what had changed. The adoration you once felt for him had faded, replaced with something darker—something you couldn't shake, no matter how hard you tried. You'd learned the hard way that love, when twisted, could become something suffocating. Something dangerous. And no matter how kind he seemed now, no matter how sweet his words were, you could feel the darkness that lurked beneath.

"I'm sorry, Yuji," you said quietly, trying to pull away from his grasp, but he wouldn't let you go. His hands tightened around you, pulling you even closer.

"No," Yuji said, his voice firm, as if he were trying to convince both of you. "No, you don't get to apologize. You don't get to pull away from me." His lips brushed against your forehead, lingering there, his warmth swallowing you whole. "I don't care what's happened. I don't care what's changed. I'm not letting you go. Not now, not ever."
