gojo x reader angst from a wip that ill never finish.
----
“he’s,,” gojo pauses to collect his thoughts, “he’s no good. yn, i need you to trust me when i tell you he doesn’t have good intentions with you.”
you scoff. an annoyed look plays at your features. who was satoru gojo to tell you who's good for you and who's not?
“and what exactly are those intentions?” you snip, not really caring what he has to say.
“to get in your pants? he just wants to sleep with you.” satoru’s mad now. you don’t know why it affects him this much, but it aggravates you. when there’s competition, only then does satoru start to panic. why go through all this if he didn’t even like you like that?
“and why would you think i don’t want that?” a rare moment where you had the upper hand on satoru; he opened an opportunity for a smirk to poke out from your lips;.
he opens his mouth to speak but nothing comes out. his eyes are searching your figure, desperately trying to recognize the person in front of him. but nothing about the way you’re acting makes sense to him. what was this guy doing to you?
“listen, satoru. you don’t need to start caring about me all of a sudden. i know what i’m getting myself into and i dont fucking care.” it's clear he doesnt have anything to say after your snark so you fill the short moment of silence, “so please, if you have anything else to say about us just keep it to yourself.”
“but i do care about you-“
“so suddenly? because before this whole thing, you weren’t all too concerned about what i was doing.”
“that’s different- you know how busy we were!”
“and youre not busy anymore?” you look down at your phone to check the time, “fifteen minutes. you were supposed to meet the elders fifteen minutes ago. but you pushed that aside to tell me i need to stop talking to a guy?”
he’s unable to defend himself. mouth occasionally opening to speak up, but he can’t. “the elders could have waited fifteen minutes for you to spare me even a phone call- a text-“ your voice almost breaks. swallowing down any thing that could choke you up, you end the conversation. “you know what. never mind. see you later, satoru.”

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ if you know what’s right - megumi x reader
summary: you’re frustrated (and admittedly embarrassed) that you’ve made it this far in life without anyone ever asking you on a date. little did you know, it wasn’t any fault of yours- but your best friend who has the unfortunate habit of scaring any potential lover away.
genre: fluff, modern/college au (though it could be read as a normal au), best friends to lovers
wc: 1.8k
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ a/n: whenever i talk about reader wanting to be asked out just know its purely because they want someone to express romantic interest in them- im not talking about catcalls or anything weird when ppl get approached by weirdos. I hope that was clear!! :D
Tumblr media
boys didn't ask you out
you always wished to be stopped on campus by someone cute and have them ask for your number. it was a little embarrassing at this point to admit no one has ever expressed romantic interest in you.
you tried to convince yourself that maybe you were just intimidating- but your close friend maki over here complains left and right about someone new approaching her for her instagram and she's probably the most intimidating person you knew. intimidating but glaringly beautiful 
so what was your problem?
“she’s taken” a deep voice calls out from behind your shoulder, glaring daggers into the boy in front of you. mind you, the first boy who had ever approached you to ask you out!!
megumi, your best friend, places an awkward arm around your waist. trying to pull you out of this situation by acting as your boyfriend.
the boy in front of you looks like he’s about to shit his pants before stuttering out an apology. he takes off before you could even process the situation, leaving you stunned in the middle of the cafe you were in.
“what the hell?” you whip around to question your friend, “why would you say that??”
you pout at him. you’re more disappointed than you admittedly should be, wishing you had the opportunity to confront the situation yourself.
you pry megumi’s hand off your waist. it's a shame that this was how the situation was playing out. in any other instance, you would have gladly welcomed any form of physical touch from him.
megumi just tilts his head in confusion.
“he was asking you out, wasn't he?”
“yes,,”
“and you weren’t going to accept his invite, were you?”
“you can’t just assume that for me!” you frown. you bite your tongue, not wanting to sound pathetic over the fact that you were excited someone had finally seemed to like you.
“well he looked like a bit of a loser” megumi shoves his hands in his pockets and shrugs. he’s struggling to find your source of irritation.
“and what if i liked losers?” you snip, tone accidentally coming across too harsh causing you to back track. you’re aware at how stupid you sound getting mad over something so trivial. you know deep down he’s just trying to help you out, “look, megumi. i'm sorry,, im just in a bad mood right now. i would just appreciate it if you let me handle it next time.”
“ah- im sorry” megumi’s eyes shift to the side. he's a little embarrassed, “nobara and maki have a better time dealing with this situation when one of us pretends to be their boyfriend. i thought it would be the same.”
“yeah, well i'm not nobara or maki,” your sharp tone dissipates into a more disappointed sound. you weren’t like your two friends. people don't line up at the door to ask you out. what a common experience for them wasn’t one for you. and you knew its a dumb thing to be jealous of but it didn't stop you from hoping one day you’d catch someone’s attention like that too.
megumi’s a smart guy, too intelligent for his own good even. he catches on quickly what you meant by that. 
he feels kind of bad, recounting the amount of times he gave the stink eye to a guy who looked at you with the slightest interest. he would never take it back though- he didn’t want any guy getting too close to you. was that wrong of him?
maybe a little,,,
he awkwardly clears his throat, “i don’t think it's anything like that,” he tries to console you without letting on that he might be the reason you don’t get approached nearly as much as you want to.
you only huff and continue sipping at your fairly watered down latte that hadn’t received much attention in the last ten minutes.
*:・゚✧*:・゚
“-and then he said he was my boyfriend!” you wail to nobara, who’s currently splayed across your bed. she scoffs in amusement as she adds the finishing touch to her manicure.
“and that’s a bad thing for you?”
your face warms. you suppose you have been a little too fixated on your frustrations that you hadn’t considered how megumi didn’t hesitate to jump into boyfriend act. sure, he had told you that him and itadori do this whenever nobara was being hit on but you both know it was mostly itadori. anytime it was fushiguro had to be in his place, it was comically forced to say the least.
looking back on the situation, he had almost immediately jumped in to reject the guy,
“listen yn, all i'm trying to say is that i don't think the reason why you’re not getting asked on dates is because of your appearance- i mean look at you!” she caps her nail polish and sits up, “i think megumi is cockblocking you”
“but this is the only time he’s done this?” her implications go over your head
“i need you to think-” she quips, “when's the last time you went out and megumi wasn’t with you?”
“so you think we look like a couple everytime we go out?” you ask her incredulously, trying not to sound as flustered as you feel.
“something like that-” she purses her lips, trying to decide if it was worth megumi (and maybe even you) being severely pissed off for revealing that she's witnessed multiple glares he’s given guys who even think about asking you out. “i just don’t think you look the most approachable when hes always attached to your hip”
you groan. you’re absolutely hopeless.
*:・゚✧*:・゚
days go by and this is the third time in a row megumi sees you arrive from the city with nobara. as your closest friend, he’s the one that always gets asked to accompany you on your little trips off campus. you must be mad at him over that one incident- or worse, completely weirded out over the fact that he pretended to be your boyfriend. that thought mortifies him.
he doesn’t realize he’s gritting his teeth as he approaches you and nobara. before you know it, nobara has already separated herself from you, blurting out a quick ‘see you later!’ as she disappears to her own dorm.
now it's just you standing there, frozen, as a brooding megumi approaches him. you would be a little scared at his expression but as he got closer, you could see the frown on his face was more of a pout. cute..
“i’m sorry” he confronts you directly. he just wanted to quickly resolve whatever he did to make you avoid him.
“..sorry?” you question your friend. you had only really been mad at him for less than a day, getting over it after that conversation with kugisaki. but you hadn’t been acting strange to him in the days after that to warrant him being upset about it. the only thing you had done was go out with nobara more instead of him..
“yeah- i wanted to apologize for the other day. if i,,, you know,, made you uncomfortable?” his eyes shift down to his shoes, not really knowing what to say next. his words come off a little blunt, but you pick up his sincerity.
you only smile a little at how nervous he looks, though you felt bad for worrying him, he looked kind of cute like this. 
“i wasn’t uncomfortable, megumi,, don’t worry,” your words lift a weight off his shoulders and his posture is slightly less slumped as you continue, “i’m sorry too. i shouldn’t have gotten mad at you,, i was just frustrated that you had answered that guy instead of letting me do it. i don’t get asked out a lot so i was hoping i could’ve handled it myself.” 
maybe you shouldn’t have overshared that last part, but you owed him a proper explanation.
“ah- i guess im sorry for that too.”
you blink at him. 
huh?
“excuse me?” you question his new apology.
megumi’s looking everywhere but you. he’s certain that his face is burning red by now.
“i sort of,,” he pauses, embarrassed to be admitting this, “i think i have the habit of staring down anyone who looks like they’re about to approach you.”
that wasn’t the answer you had expected from him. frustrated, you open your mouth to ask him why the hell he even admitted that, but he cuts you off.
“i guess i just was being selfish. i didn’t want anyone to ask you out.” he scratches the back of his neck nervously. he hopes you don’t notice him sweating out of stress. “i shouldn’t have been doing that.”
he turns his back to walk away, not having anything else to add on and wanting this conversation to end as soon as possible. you’re almost left stunned in place but you manage to slap some sense into yourself to stop him from leaving.
“wait! megumi” you jog to catch up to the retreating boy and place a hand on his arm, “you like me?”
“yes.” megumi mentally slaps himself for being so blunt. he supposes he’s already dug himself in a deep hole and he knows you deserve the grander confession you’ve been yearning for, so he works up the courage to confess properly. he owes you that, atleast. 
there’s a slight pause so megumi can gather the correct words for you.
“i really enjoy spending time with you, more than you realize. those last few days you took nobara out to the city instead of me made me upset. part of it was me being jealous you started choosing her over me and part of it was me worrying that the thought of being perceived as your boyfriend from a few days ago completely repulsed you out of hanging out with me. yn, i like you. a lot. i’m sorry for robbing you of all the confessions you should’ve been getting so i hope this somewhat makes up for it… or not, you can slap me now if you don’t like me back.” he closes his eyes, bracing himself for the worse.
what he doesn’t expect is a pair of arms wrap around his stiff body, still braced for any hit you could’ve thrown his way. 
he slowly melts into your embrace, lifting his arms to mimic your action. he doesn’t realize he’s been holding his breath this whole time until he sighs into your hair.
“megumi, i hope you know that i’d take the worst confession from you over any coffee shop boy. i like you too,” you confess as you hold him close to you, chin resting on his shoulder.
“oh so this confession was the worst?” you can hear his smirk in his tone. you laugh, knowing he’s relaxed into your touch.
“oh shut it, you know that's not what i meant!” you push yourself back, lightly shoving his chest. he doesn’t let you part from the hug for too long before he pulls you back in, burying his face in your neck.
he smiles like an idiot before answering, 
“i know, i know”

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ idiots to lovers - yuta okkotsu x reader
bullet point scenario
genre: fluff!! idiots to lovers (obviousllyyy)
wc: 1.3k
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ a/n: i figured it was better if i posted this instead of letting it sit in the dungeon (my collection of drafts that’ll never see the light of day)
Tumblr media
okiee yuta timeee
i love annoying misconceptions and (falsely) heartbroken pining
the way i see it is that yuta strongly admires maki’s strength and resolve that, to you (who’s hopelessly pining after him), it can get mistaken as romantic ..
and it doesn't help that panda likes to be annoying about the two of them together ,,, it just all deflates your mood a little bit whenever you see them together 
and you know you have no right to be sulking about this,, maki and yuta are your friends.. it shouldn't matter if they did like each other,, it's not something you could control
but you just desperately wish that yuta could look at you with the same level of admiration that he has when he talks to maki about sparring or whatever it may be
hell, he could barely look you in the eyes
it makes you a little sad seeing everyone’s friendship with yuta develope rapidly throughout his time at jujutsu tech,, but when it comes to conversing with you, things still feel a little different 
its not like you two are merely acquaintances! you wouldn't hesitate to call okkutsu yuta a friend of yours,, but it's a simple relationship. not much complexity beyond your conversations during missions or gojo’s lessons
unfortunately for the both of you, you’re unaware of yuta’s affection for you
the reason why he doesn’t look at you with the admiration you wish for is because he can’t even look you in the eyes without getting too flustered ….
poor boy
he’s definitely gained a lot more confidence after joining jujutsu high, but it's still not enough to muster up enough courage to ask you to lunch or even have an in depth conversation without him getting too red in the face
he doesn’t know why you have this affect on him,, his previous relationship had been so easy- then again the carelessness of childhood was not a luxury he has anymore. though it was simpler, he knew he didn't have the mental capacity at such a young age to be overthinking shit like he does now
to add on, your friendship with toge has him struck with the familiar worries that you experience with maki
catching a glimpse of the spectators during his spar from the field, he can’t help but feel a little disappointed when he sees you seated a little too close to inumaki up on the bleachers. 
“how long have yn and toge been friends?” he questions maki in the midst of their spar as he blocks her oncoming attack
“oh those two? just as long as we all joined jujustu high” maki switches to the defensive as yuta charges forward. yuta moves to strike her but maki smirks, “though i think they oughta start dating sooner later”
her words cause yuta to freeze for a split second and she shoves him to the ground, effectively placing herself on top of him. she holds her staff to his neck, signaling her win. one point for maki
she laughs in victory before lowering her voice back to her previous volume.
“i was kidding, by the way. there’s definitely no feelings between them” she helps the defeated (and visibly embarrassed) boy off his feet, “clearly there are for the two of you, however”
she struts back toward you, panda, and toge to retrieve her water, leaving yuta a flustered mess on the ground
and in that whole instance, you hadn’t heard any of that conversation 
you had been leaned up against toge murmuring your complaints so panda, mediating the fight ahead, couldn't hear you
“they look good together” you say in self sabotaging pity
toge only shakes his head and disagrees
“okaka”
you’re sure he’s just doing this to make you feel better about yourself
“shes so pretty,, how couldnt he like her” you wail pathetically. toge is so fed up with this but its not he can just tell the other side how you felt (he would never rat you out like that though),, but hes certain yuta likes you back and that you're over analyzing him too much
he places a hand on your shoulder and waits for you to look up at him
the expression on his face tells you clearly, ‘you need to stop’
you sigh. toges right, he always is- but it still doesn’t do anything to quell your fears
and low and behold! your thoughts are interrupted by maki’s victory laugh. she was on top of him, rendering him unable to move
god you wished that was you………
you bury your head in your hands in utter frustration and groan. this is the worst feeling- you know you’re being stupid but jealousy is a disease and you’re dying over here!!
yuta swaps out with panda, who was waiting eagerly to fight the victor 
he joins you guys up on the bleachers, seating himself beside toge. he quickly notices your distressed figure
“is,, everything alrigjt?” he asks tentatively 
to his dismay, toge answers for you with a hum. this causes yuta to be a little peeved when it's him answering in your place- he tries to ignore it
you and inumaki seem way closer than you would ever be with him,,
but to yuta’s delight and your demise, toge stands up from between you (he doesn’t think he can stand to be sandwiched between the pining idiots anymore)
your blonde friend lets out a noise, motions to the line of water bottles at the bottom of the bleachers, and promptly leaves
yuta takes this opportunity to scoot himself closer to you, who’s still slumped over + wallowing away
“what were you two talking about?” he asks, trying to gauge why you’re sulking
you have to choose your words carefully. you couldn't just tell him you’re upset over something trivial like his spar with maki
“i’ve just been frustrated” you mumble vaguely
“frustrated?” he inches closer to you, trying to mimic toge’s proximity from before. he questions you with the utmost sincerity
“yeah. sorry i dont really know how to elaborate” you lift your head, deciding to stop staring holes into your shoes. you’re trying so hard to make this conversation not awkward- but your short answers don’t help your case at all.
“its alright, you dont have to talk about it if you dont want to” 
if there's one thing you love about okkotsu yuta, it was how sweet he is
for the first time in the last hour or however long you had all been out on the field, you let out a genuine smile
“thank you yuta, i appreciate you” 
his ears turn pink within a split second but nevertheless, he reciprocates your smile
the problem with conversing with you is that most of your conversations were too short
he could get so lost in your smile at times he finds himself silent, forgetting to carry on whatever you were talking to him about
this time he manages to snap himself out of it
“did you wanna hang out after practice? i mean- if you’d rather be alone right now that's fine to!” he knows he left the option to decline open but he hopes you didn't take him up on the latter,,
“that sounds nice.” you’re biting back a stupidly large grin 
neither of you notice that maki and pandas fight had already concluded or that inumaki had been gone a suspiciously large amount of time to just grab a drink of water 
makis smiling at the two of you up in your own world while toge almost sighs in exhaustion, 
“sujiko” 
(finally)
being around the two of you was quite a taxing event for them both
panda, on the other hand, is finally catching on- eyes shifting back and forth between you and yuta and his friends at the bottom of the bleachers in disbelief
it was an unspoken understanding between toge and maki that they should avoid panda becoming aware of the sprouting couple to avoid some- awkward comments, though he meant well
well, there’s no hiding it anymore with the two of you hopelessly blushing at each other + toge and maki’s shared smirks
before panda could say anything to disrupt the moment, his two friends were already dragging him off the field to avoid him opening his big mouth
“they wont notice we’ve left” maki says with a chuckle
“salmon”

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ after a mission- inumaki x reader
bullet point scenario
genre: comfort, fluff (warnings: blood)
wc: 954
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ a/n: idk how their dorms work, let's imagine that they all have bathrooms attached to their rooms. also yayyy another scenario! i'm on a roll… we’ll see how long that lasts
Tumblr media
togeeee brainrotttt
toge gets home one night from a particularly rough mission, blood decorating his face- its way too much for your the sake of your comfort
most of it comes from his mouth, a sign that he’s reached his limit in terms of his cursed ability
his uniform sleeve is stained crimson as a result of constantly wiping his chin to catch whatever threatened to spill out of his mouth
upon seeing him arrive on campus, you frown and run up to him
you’ve always hated seeing him in such a state- unfortunately, a common sight due to the nature of his ability and your job,, but it didn’t stop the ache in your chest every time he arrived looking so beaten up
you greet him with a careful hug, being mindful of any possible hidden injuries on his body
the force he puts in when he reciprocates in the hug tells you that you can hold him a little tighter
“hi,” you mumble into his neck, “how was your mission?”
he huffs in response and you let out a soft giggle, “figured”
parting from the hug, you gently grab his hand and start dragging him away, “let’s get you to shoko, she should still be on campus”
toge remains firmly planted in place. he’s pouting
he shakes his head stubbornly and squeezes your hand to stop you from going to shoko
you dead pan at him
you already know what he’s requesting,,, he wants you to treat his wounds
on missions where his injuries aren’t too serious, toge likes to have you tend to his wounds in his dorm room. he’ll occasionally claim that it's ‘too late to bother shoko’ but you know he just likes it when you dote on him
“seriously?” you ask him, with a slight hint of amusement in your tone. you know how stubborn your boyfriend can get
he nods before coughing, a little blood bubbling up from the back of his throat, reminding you of the sorry state he’s currently in
“alright,,, let’s get you cleaned up.” you sigh and make your way over to where his dorm room resided
once you arrive, you sit him on the bed and disappear into his bathroom to get a cloth soaked in warm water
“okay, let's see,” you sit beside him, tilting his chin to face you so you can observe the damage. you get to work and gently dab at his chin. it soothes your worries to see the crimson on his face transfer to the towel
pushing his bangs back, you wipe off any excess grime that had gotten on his face with the clean side of the washcloth. luckily there had been no external injuries, just his throat from ability overuse. 
you lean in to kiss his forehead before fixing his bangs back in place but his lips go to chase after yours when you separate from him
“hey- !” you pull back quickly to avoid his kiss,, a rare occasion for the both of you, “don’t try kissing me with the same mouth that was coughing up all this blood,” you hold up the dirty rag as evidence for your refusal
he only pouts as you let out an airy laugh. you push the towel into his hands and stand up from his bed, “rinse that out in the sink and brush your teeth, okay? I’m gonna make tea for you real quick and bring it back here” you say softly, trying to make sure he doesn’t overexert himself
you gently slide his door shut and make the short trek over to the common room where you can start brewing a cup of tea for your boyfriend’s throat
fifteen minutes pass and you’re about done preparing the drink when you hear a shuffle come from the entrance of the common room. 
sighhh. its toge,,,,
“love,” you huff with slight exasperation, “i thought i told you i’d bring it to you,, you need to rest”
he can only give you a guilty smile before heading straight for your arms. he kisses softly at your neck
‘i missed you’ his actions imply
his kisses travel up to your mouth, finally relishing in his first real kiss of the night. you can tell from the way his hands find purchase in your hair and from the slightest pressure of desperation that he’s been waiting too long for this 
you give in 
after all, who wouldn’t?
a few minutes pass when you part from the kiss, panting slightly while trying to ground yourself. the two of you are still in the common room,,, and though you don’t expect to run into anyone this late, you would prefer to take actions against anyone walking in on you
“drink your tea, toge” you attempt to pull away from his embrace to bring his tea to him but of course, he doesn’t let you budge.
the common room kitchen is dim, but his eyes shine brightly when he looks at you. he feels dramatic when he thinks his world could stop if you left his arms now, but it felt too real.
“please” he manages to let out a hoarse whisper. you both know he shouldn’t be talking.
but you can see the plead in his eyes, begging for one more kiss- though it wouldn’t be just one more. you weigh your options and decide it would be okay to give in,, he deserved it didn’t he?
leaning in, you surrender yourself and resume from where you oh-so-rudely paused
needless to say the night ended with you reheating his now room temperature tea in the microwave a considerable amount of time after you had made it
but who were you to complain?

MEGUMII my lov. i see a lot of hcs about him being really into music and i agree but i like to see it like this,, he’s really into the bands he listens to but he's painfully unaware of fan culture and like fandom reputations i suppose (more like meme culture but i hate saying the word meme)
i head canon him to have a low social media presence, and he’s only really on instagam from time to time. so when he recommends you the song creep by radiohead and you giggle… hes confused?? like in his mind this song is so deep and profound and.. ur laughing at him??? 
same goes for when he told u he likes weezer. hes pouting because u thought it was funny. he doesn't understand what the joke is tho and u take like the next ten minutes trying to explain to him how they’ve kinda become a meme. he’s a little confused still,, just kiss him on the cheek and tell him he has good music taste!!

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ how you got together - inumaki x reader
bullet pointed scenario
genre: fluff, f2l
wc: 1.2 ish
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ an: hii this is my first jjk fic!! this might be the only thing i ever post LOLL currently ignoring my massive hiatus on my kpop blog T_T anywayss i wrote this super quickly its prob not the best ;p
Tumblr media
i feel like toge would be the type of person to have you make a lot of the first moves
like when you guys were just stupidly pining friends, he made it pretty obvious that he liked you but wanted you to actually confess verbally 
it was mostly because he didn't want such a big milestone of starting your relationship to be texted or written by him but maybe like 20% of it was because he likes to be annoying
he's a little shit so if your the type of person to wait on the other person to make a move, good luck! because he’s making you do it
like there was a point were he was certain about both of ur feelings being mutual so he’d just play it up by being really touchy, making it obvious that he wanted to be right next to you, always clinging to you, etc.. you know,, making it obvious that he really does like you
but poor you because you were spending your time overthinking eveything. maybe he was just really touchyyy!! maybe he's extra comfortable around you!!! (i wonder why.)
it was actually driving your friends insane tho
maki’s last straw was during a training session out on the field, her and panda were sparring as you and inumaki watched on the steps
inumaki, as usual, was glued to your side, hands toying with the fabric of your long sleeve uniform
as maki landed her last hit on panda, you got up with their water bottles and ran them over to your two friends 
toge followed closely behind, still attached to your sleeve
you were balancing both of the bottles in one arm since the other was being occupied as toges leash of some sort, but you approached the other two like nothing was out of place
this sight wasn't anything new to panda or maki so they kept their scoffs and eye rolls internal. it was mostly just driving them crazy that neither one of you had made a move. it was obvious you both liked each other so why aren’t you guys doing anything about it??
“nice one, maki!” you cheered as the two grabbed their respective waters, toge let out an ingredient of affirmation as well
“ah, that was nothing” she proudly boasted, part of it directed as being a playful jab toward panda. she glanced down at inumakis hand attached to the end of your sleeve as he seemingly refused to be more than a few inches apart from you
“anyways,, im planning on grabbing lunch after this, yn, you coming with?” maki turned towards you
“sure!! i didnt have any plans,” you mused and you and maki set off and away from the field, toge still trailing behind as if following you was the obvious route to go
“just me and yn today, inumaki. sorry man,, go do something with panda” maki had no problem brushing off your friend, she was trying to get you alone which was something that seemed more rare as days go by (cough cough toge let maki have some time with her friend)
he laughed and backed away in compliance before giving your shoulder a quick squeeze as the four of you split off
once he was out of earshot, maki finally groaned
“you need to make a move already, its so frustrating watching you two cling to each other without doing anything about it” she complained as you felt your face heat up
you were well aware of toge’s touchiness and couldn't ignore his potential intentions behind it,, but yet there was this looming fear of actually enacting a confession that stopped you from going further 
“do you think he really likes me?” you asked pathetically. anyone’s answer would’ve been a loud yes,, but you still felt like you had to ask maki for some semblance of confidence 
she stared at you, an incredulous look breaching her face
“i cant believe you're asking me that question” she scoffed out a laugh, “but since you need to hear it. yes, toge inumaki is one hundred percent in love with you”
she left it at that, causing a permanent fluster to torment you for the rest of lunch
your lunch with maki had left you a little more confident about where you stood with toge, however. she had begged you to do something about it soon, claiming she couldn’t bear to witness any more pining
you had to do something about it soon or else you’d continue to sleep on her advice, overthink it, and never do anything about your problem,,,, it was now or never
you shot a text over to toge and waited on a nearby bench on school grounds
a few minutes passed with you spending them painstakingly fumbling with your phone case, picking off the stickers that were already on their last leg
there were so many times within those short seven minutes where you debated sending a ‘never mind! something came up’ to him
he finally showed up fairly quickly, joining the spot next to you on the bench
immediately discerning your nervous state, he placed a hand over yours
his action didn't do much for your nerves but it gave a little more hope that your confession would have a good outcome
(you were painfully unaware that no matter what you did, you had a 100% success rate)
he voiced his concern, squeezing your hand as you turned to face him
it felt like your heart was about to explode out of your chest but you had to rip the bandaid off
meeting his concern gaze, you finally said it
“i like you”
okay
maybe not the smoothest confession,, but given your anxiety over the situation, it was a miracle it was even said
all toge did in response was reach up to cup your cheek and smile 
his single expression gave you the answer you so desperately needed
pouring all his love and admiration into one expression, you hadn’t realized this was always how he had been looking at you
wordless communication though gazes and lingering touches had always been the way he was allowed to express himself
you had been overlooking it for too long, too caught up in your own mind to see the way he gazed at you like you were the only thing he ever needed to focus on, worthy of his attention at any moment you needed it
your heart melted on sight as you leaned into to press a kiss on his lips 
it was sweet, brief but not hasty. toge had always been good at placing his emotions into his actions and he made sure you felt everything he was feeling
the two of you parted before you leaned back in to place two more kisses, one on each side of his mouth where his seals were placed
he leaned in to your touch, pulling you in for a hug. as he buried his face in your neck, he breathed out a sigh that wordlessly expressed ‘you have no idea how long i’ve been waiting for this’ and you laughed into his hair
it might've been way overdue, but he’s here now in your arms, this time without the weight of wondering if your feelings were truly requited
oh an maki just got a text from panda of a blurry, zoomed in image of the two of you on the bench together from the distance
“fucking finally” -maki
