built your walls around me || Itafushi

"You want to ruin him," Sukuna says.

Maybe Sukuna isn't wrong about that, Fushiguro thinks in a daze. Itadori's heart is too heavy and too precious. It's a burden that shouldn't be given to anyone else. Because even Itadori himself can't take care of it, can't hold onto it for the life of him because he'd rather become the vessel to the most wretched of all curses just to help two people he's only known for a few months-to help Fushiguro, who he'd only met that night.

(I can keep it. Fushiguro's hands move. I can hold onto it, if you want.)

Maybe Sukuna's definition of ruin wasn't all that wrong from what Fushiguro wanted after all. Maybe that did make him just as wretched.

But if Itadori was still willing to stay beside him, despite knowing that-

Then there was no reason for Fushiguro to let him go.

Or-

Some dreams start to keep Fushiguro up at night, and the cure to stopping them might be closer than he thinks.
