The Talk

(trigger warning slight cursing)

06:30am

As the sun was rising, it shone upon everything that it's bright, summer beams met blessing the earth with warmth and happiness.

The Rescue Team have just woken up and now are preparing for the day. Jin made her way inside the basement to check on Helly, whose propeller wasn't functioning right due to yet another accident. Once she greeted him the inventor started checking oh her "patient". After a few minutes of careful investigation Jin realised that she doesn't have parts to fix her mechanical friend.

- I'm afraid I can't fix you right now. We've run out of parts again!

- Oh... Well, it's fine I guess. I can wait.

- Glad to know. Hey, wanna check on the others?

- Can't say no to that one!

As they were making their way to the main entrance of the HQ they found their teammates, who were yawning and stretching their metal shelves and wheels like if there were cats. The two could not help but laugh at the sight.

- Good morning ya sleepy heads!

- Good morning Helly! How is your propeller.

- It doesn't hurt but I can't fly either so I'm afraid I won't be able to join you today.

- It's fine buddy. Just make sure you get lot's of rest while we're gone.

- Thanks!

- Well, it seems like we'll have to double the patrol today. Since Helly won't be able to spot cars and humans who can't call fir help we'll have to find them ourselves.

- Wait, what if I join you guys today?

- Are you sure? It's pretty dangerous you know.

- Come on guys! I won't do anything dangerous, not like able to do them anyway, I'll just patrol and report if I see citizens in trouble!

- What about the HQ-

- Don't worry guys! I will look after it and answer the calls. I'll get really bored if I have nothing to do. Jin has showed me many times how operate her place! Besides, she always has a phone on her wherever she goes.

- Ok, I guess you can come with us. Just promise to be careful.

16:37pm

- Guys this is an emergency! Max is hanging of a cliff in the woods! I'm sending you the coordinates.

- We'll be right there Jin!

Jin closed the phone and put it in her pocket. She looked up to see Max, who was desperately trying not to fall.

Just about an hour ago the weather suddenly changed and now it was raining heavily. The rain was turning soil into sticky mud and was making the rocks slippery.

Jin knew that the car wouldn't hang on for a long time. She tried to make her way up to see if there's anything she can do.

Once she reached the top of the cliff she heard Max shouting.

- Jin! I can't hold on any longer!

- Don't give up Max. The rescue team will be here soon.

Just like if her wishes were heard her teammates appeared. They transformed in record time and run towards Jin.

- Jin! What's going on?

- Help me!

They turned their heads in Max's direction. He was slipping of the cliff! Poli and Amber quickly used their lines to hold him. It was just then when Jin realised that Roy was missing.

- Where is Roy?

- He's dealing with another accident right now!

Another rock cracked under Max's wheels which caused him to fall further down. His position wasn't allowing them to lift him anymore.

- Poli, we won't be able to lift him! The ground is too slippery and his roller isn't helping either!

- There's gotta be another way!

Suddenly Jin remembered something.

- Listen, below the cliff there's a small ledge. It may not be big but it's enough to place Max there.

- Alright then! Amber you go down and make sure Max lands safely, use your cushion for that. I'll pull him down slowly.

- Alright!

Amber unhooked her line and started following Jin. Poli hooked his other line to Max and waited for signal.

- There! If you place the cushion there he will be able to land safely and come down afterwards.

- I'll try to go down.

A few careful skips and Amber comes to not the best realisation.

- Poli, I can't reach the ledge, nor can I throw the cushion there! The path is to narrow!

Poli was not happy to hear this. He was clearly struggling to keep Max where he was. He took some steps back just to make sure that the road roller was staying put before replying.

- You'll have to try!

Amber takes a small step and the ground immediately crashes under her weight.

- I can't!

- Ok, then come up here and we'll both try to pull him down- Ahh!

Large rocks started slipping above Poli's head. One fell directly on his foot while the other one fell right in front of him damaging his line in the process. It unhooked from Max, causing him to fall further down and making him scream.

Poli was desperately struggling to hold him. The situation was getting worse. The robocar wouldn't hold him for much longer.

- Poli! Amber, you need to give me your cushion! Poli won't hold Max for much longer!

- What?

- Jin, what are you up to?

- Trust me! Just give me the cushion!

- Jin don't you dare to go down there!

- I-

Amber didn't finish the sentence. Jin grabbed the tool from her hands and ran down to the ledge.

Something from the past clicked inside Poli's head. That little unimportant something made him scared for the girl's life. He wanted to run towards her but he was stuck between the rocks holding someone else.

Finally Jin gives a signal.

- Pull him down Poli!

He tries to do it but the line goes out of control, just like when he and Helly were stuck in a canyon.

Max falls down taking some large rocks with him along the way.

-Jin!

- AHH!

Then there was silence. Amber looked down the ledge. She found Max safe on the cushion and Jin, who was covering her head with her hands. She was scared but unharmed.

A few moments later she looked at Max and then at Amber, who still was really scared for her.

- We're fine!

Amber sough of relief and tried to find another way to reach the two, who were making their way to lower, safer grounds.

Once she reached their level she ran towards Jin and Max to check on them.

- Jin, Max! How are you guys? Do you hurt anywhere? Let me check you!

- I'm fine Amber, just shaken up that's all. How about you?

- I'm okay!

- Jin! Max!

The three of them looked up where the voice was coming from. Poli, who had finally freed himself from the rocks, was making his way towards them. His look was full of worry.

- How are you? Jin, what were you thinking?! Don't you ever run away like that you hear me!

- But I-

- Do not do that again I beggin' you!

He held little control of his voice, let alone his emotions. He probably sounded angry which he did not intend. Seeing the robocar like that was something really rare. He could tell he scared everyone away. Especially Jin, to whom he was speaking.

When he realised what he just did he took a deep break and spoke.

- I'm sorry... Is everyone okay?

- I'm... I'm alright.

- Me too.

- Good.

- Poli, we need to get going. We won't be able to reach the rescue centre if the rain gets worse so we'd better leave this place as soon as possible.

22:17pm

The rain stopped when the gang left and the bright summer sun dried everything. It was hot inside.

The rescue team managed to fall asleep despite the heat. The only one who could not rest was Poli. It wasn't the heat that bothered him. He spent an hour lying in his room and thinking about how he spoke to Jin. He scared the poor thing. He probably, no, he sure hurt her feelings. He failed to solve the problem fast enough and if it wasn't for her the rescue would have been a total disaster.

He drove out of his room to breathe some air. It was dark outside, a warm air was blowing. The sky was full of sparkling stars that were forming the Milky Way and the brightest of them all was the Moon which was on it's first quarter phase.

Poli was driving away from his place when he saw warm light on the ground. It was coming from the garage. Through it's open door the police car saw Jin, who was filling in some documents and checking her blue prints.

He knew why she was awake and he felt bad about it. The dispatcher would always spend her night here, trying to find comfort when she was stressed. It was the place where she would let out every bit of her enthusiasm and her emotion, whatever it was.

The guilt was eating him from inside. He couldn't stand watching one of his teammates like that. He had to make up for it.

- Uh, Jin?

The girl turned towards the owner of the voice, clearly not to happy to see him.

- If I don't bother you I'd like to talk to you.

She shook her head giving a positive answer. Good so far. He shook his head as well inviting her outside.

They didn't go too far. They sat on a grass field under the starry sky, just few feet behind their building.

The two were sitting in an awkward silence. None of them was too enthusiastic about their situation. That was until the blonde haired girl broke the silence.

- You don't really trust me do you?

- What?

- Just admit it Poli, you don't really believe that I could be a rescuer just like any of you. You don't have to say it.

- No, of course I believe in you-

- Then why did you act the way you did?! All I was trying to do is to help! Everything turned out fine so why did you act that way?!

- I was scared!

- Amber was also scared so what scared you this much?!

- I was scared of losing you, okay?!

Another moment of silence. There it is. It happened again.

- I'm... I'm truly sorry. For now and for what happened earlier today.

- ... Oh.

- I never thought of you as someone incompetent, let alone as someone who could never become a rescuer, because you already are one! I failed to think of a good plan and execute it. If it wasn't for you the rescue would have failed and who knows what would happen to Max.

Jin's look softened. She expected to hear the opposite from what she heard. She still was feelling bad but now it was because of how quick she was to accuse Poli of not trusting her without even asking him why he raised his voice at her.

They spent the whole day not willing to talk to eachother. If one of them spoke earlier, all of this would be over.

- Do you remember when I promised you to explain some things about my past?

- Yes, but that was three years ago. You never really explained anything even though you promised.

- So I guess now it's time.

He took a deep breath and looked at the sky. Memories of his past were filling his head.

- I was born in a police department in small town called Highray. There I grew up with my fathers and my little brother Strike. We were living a very happy life except... One day something happened and our dads started arguing. They would do that all day, every day and would only stop when Strike was in front of them. He didn't realise it back then so I tried to cover it. I tried to cover everything, that they weren't paying so much attention to us anymore, that they were arguing, that they didn't love eachother anymore. I managed to keep up the facade for some years but he was getting more and more suspicious until he learned everything himself. That day we had a big fight over how I would treat him like a child and would not tell him the truth, how I wouldn't let him do anything. The same day someone attacked our department. When we heard the sirens Strike ran away to try and help people. I tried to follow him but wasn't able to keep up. The wall next to me exploded and I got crushed by rocks. I blacked out and then...

- What happened then?

- *sight* One of the older officers freed me. I was told that Strike was gone. We couldn't find him anywhere. Soon, he and other four workers were called dead. Our family was devastated. Things started going downhill. I tried to cheer them up but I couldn't. No matter what I did I couldn't become the sun that he was to out family. To the whole place. At that time our best friend started blaming me for his death. After half a year I ran away. I had enough of what was going on. And so, I joined the Lemcon Police Department where I trained together with our past friend.

- I'm... I'm sorry to hear that.

- That's OK. All of this is in the past. It's just... When you ran of to that cliff it reminded me of when I lost my brother. I was trapped under these stupid rocks and I couldn't do anything but watch. I was scared of the thought that the history would repeat it's self. It's not an excuse for my behaviour of course! I understand if you're angry with me, I should not project my past issues on you. That's very selfish of me-

- I'm not angry. I was just upset about today. I should have thought about your feelings as well. Of course you would be terrified if a meat bag like me would jump under tones of metal and copper.

- First of all don't call yourself a meat bag.

- Don't "fist of all" me. It's not just about me it's about the whole humanity. Then I'm sorry for yelling at you too and because I know that you won't calm down if I don't say it, I Jin Reed, forgive you!

- ... Thanks!

- If this hell of a meeting isn't over I have one last question. Why did you tell me your story?

- What do you mean?

- I mean you could have just told me that your brother died in an accident and my actions reminded me of it, or you didn't even have to say it. You could have just said that it reminded you of something really, really bad and that would be the end of it!

- Well, when we first met you told me everything about yourself. Every single thing that you though that mattered, you would tell me. It was the first time after so many years that I felt that someone truly trusts me. I felt that I had pay it back.

- Now let me remind you that we first met when you saved me from two bastards. Of course I would trust you.

- You have to admit that I did them good.

- You did them so good I thought you would do me good. And now I see you hiding behind my back when you see a caterpillar!

- I wasn't scared of caterpillars back then!

- Well you're regressing then!

- Pfff!

- By the way, do you know what happened to the two bastards?

- Oh well, they were left out of the prison, like, a week ago and then they went back in for the same crap they did to you! Not anything important.

- You little liar!

- Woah!

Upon hearing Poli's words Jin jumped on his screen covering his view.

- You promised you would make sure they wouldn't get out of jail!

- I'm sorry the law does not allow me to make the prison their new home, now please come down!

- No this is my revenge!

- Oh really?

- Yeah now feel my ra- Wait are you doing? Stop please- Hahahaha!

Poli transformed into his robo form and pulled Jin away from his screen. When the enemy was on the ground he began tickling her.

The place filled with loud laughter as Poli and Jin were fighting with eachother. The officer would carefully press the girl down against the ground to tickle her, all the while the dispatcher would constantly kick him with her feet. None of them would retreat. Or at least until the girl kicked the damaged hand of the robocar.

- Ouch!

- Sorry! You good?

- Nah, I call for a truce.

- Yes!

- Heh!

- You want me to check it?

- I can wait until morning.

He carefully sat on the grass resting his damaged foot and hand while Jin layed on his other lap lookin at the sky.

Their paces slowly returned to normal as they admired the sparkly Milky Way.

- It's beautiful.

- It is.

23:21pm

Jin was peacefully sleeping on Poli's lap. He looked down at her and left our a quiet giggle.

- Looks like somebody's really tired huh?

He carefully lifted the girl so that he wouldn't disturb her and headed back home.

Once they reached the HQ Poli went into Jin's room to place her on her soft bed. He remembered that Jin was filling some documents so since he wasn't feeling sleepy he decided to do that for her. He wrote a small note for her and left in on the cupboard next to her bed.

Before Poli left, he did one last thing. He covered Jin with a light blacket.

- Good night Jin. Thanks for everything.

Being in love with your best friend.

my masterlist: here

Hello! duckie here, this is my first post on tumblr, and please do let me know if you notice any mistakes and such. Feedback would be greatly appreciated! If you have any requests, do let me know, I'll try to write them. fluff! Itadori x Fem!reader.

3k words! please enjoy

summary : yuuji and gojo go for a mission. Things end up going slightly awry and Yuuji gets hit with the effects of a curse, feelings are spilled and happy relationship yay.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

How you felt about Yuuji was no secret, however much you tried to hide it. It was obvious to everyone but him. You tried your best to not show it to him, afraid of rejection, but Nobara and Megumi had noticed.

Megumi was the first to notice, but didn’t mention it to you. You knew that Megumi knew, but never spoke to him about it. You told Nobara, since you two were the best of friends, and slowly she began recognising the way you would do anything for him, how you wouldn’t hesitate to help him, not ever wanting him to be hurt. You would definitely sacrifice your life for him, regardless of your relationship status.

You wanted to tell Yuuji that you loved him so bad, but being a sorcerer was difficult, and it was scary to tell your best friend that you loved them more than a friend. You thought that he would never think of you in the same way you thought of him. Your love for him progressed to the point where you would lie in bed in your dorm, next to his, unable to sleep unless you imagined him there lying with you, holding you close and whispering his love for you into your ears, these words made for you and you alone.

When he was sent on missions, you were terrified, afraid that he would get hurt and that he wouldn’t come back. You hated yourself for thinking that, as you knew he was strong, able to hold his ground against many curses.

Everyday was tiring, having to pretend that you weren't in love with him. When you did little things for him, like making an extra lunch for him because you know how much he loves your cooking, to going out of your way to buying things you know he loves, such as those little souvenirs you get for him every time you have to go overseas.

He even had an entire shelf just for the small trinkets you brought for him. I mean sure, you bought some for Nobara and Megumi, but you put in the most thought into Itadori's gifts.

You were a second grade sorcerer, regardless of being in your first year of jujutsu tech, being the fourth first year. Your clan, the L/Ns, weren't very well known, but you had a strong technique, regardless of your parents being non-shamans.

you weren't exactly sure when you realised you loved him , maybe when you looked forward to missions you had together, and wanted to spend as much time as you could with him.

It could have been how he was so thoughtful, always doing little things like helping you do things you had issues with, or buying you that little drink you liked so much every time you finished training. Maybe when he'd remember your favourite coffee order, or when he bought you bubble tea on the way back to the dorms after a mission that for some reason you couldn't go on .

It made you feel loved and cared for. You were a very tactile person, so you were usually touching Itadori at all times, without making him uncomfortable. You had asked him if he was okay with physical affection from a friend and he was, but it took you a while to actually start. He sometimes initiated contact first but it was never much, his arm resting against your shoulder, elbows bumping when walking together, knees resting against each other.

The actions were simple, small, but you enjoyed them. You knew better than to read into them too much, believing that his strange yet slightly funny obsession with Jennifer Lawrence would never allow him to like you back. You tried to get yourself to understand that, and realise it properly so you could stop being enamoured with him, but it didn't quite work.

You had always known about your ancestry, and knew how your family could see things, that were regarded as "strange" and "suspicious" by society. Your parents taught you stories, explained the basics of jujutsu to you, and you grew up knowing your family technique even when they were incapable of harnessing any cursed energy.

Your grandfather had to teach you how to use your power, which was quite similar to Megumi's shikigami, except your "shikigami" had been passed down for generations, it being the same original creature, but changing forms with every family member, but was still able to change shape into anything it wished when instructed.

Your grandfather had been a powerful sorcerer, and had lived to the ripe age of 97. He had taught you everything he knew, training you physically to being quite capable of holding your own ground, and being able to harness your cursed energy very well. The creature that was similar to the shikigami was called Hokori, which meant in direct translation from Japanese to english, "pride".

There was a story that your mother used to tell you when you were a young child, as she tucked you into bed after a long day of playing and learning about your family.

The story was that the first L/N, who was a powerful sorcerer, had heard rumours of a creature that was terrorising a town quite a distance away, that granted wishes to anyone that was able to catch it. She set out, wanting to gain power and be able to protect the ones she loved. When she finally found the hokori, she caught it after days of struggle. The hokori, realising it had been caught, shifted into a blurry form and spoke in a scratchy voice that sent shivers down her spine.

"Well done, mortal. I see you have caught me, I shall grant you one wish and it will come true." The hokori sighed. The first L/N pondered for awhile, wondering how she would ask for her wish. finally, she decided. "My wish, oh great one," she began, " is for you to protect my family and their descendants, with every crumb of your power. I wish that you help us, in times of need."

The hokori stared at her, face shifting between every animal she could name, making it hard for her to read its expressions. It seemed like the hokori could not choose on which form it wished to present, and that made her wary. Finally, in the form of a blue haired man, he spoke. "Very well, but there is something I require in turn. If you or your family wishes me to appear every time they summon me, there must be a small sacrifice. I will appear if they drop a tiny bit of blood on this," he snapped his fingers and a small bracelet appeared, floating. It was a silver metal bracelet with a small oval shape on the band that had a little dip for the blood to be put. "And I will follow their every demand. do not worry, I am incapable of dying, but I have an allotted time. I cannot stay present by your side or theirs for more than 3 hours at a time.

However, when you reach a certain level of mastery of cursed energy, I can stay for however long as required, but it is very draining." he paused, as if there was something else he was leaving out. "what?" she asked, and he sighed. "But, if you wish to allow your descendants and family to gain control for longer, I can make it so that they can reach it by a certain age, but there is a price that you alone must pay." She tensed, and dropped to her knees, praying to this screwed up idea of a god.

"I will do whatever it takes." His face broke into grin. " It seems you really are prepared to do whatever," he mocked, "All I need is the remaining cursed energy you have in your body. you will still be able to summon me, but you will not be able to use your technique any longer." she agreed, getting up and wiping off the dirt on her kimono pants.

She sacrificed so much to do whatever it took to protect the ones she loved. You always supposed you were similar in that way, since you were completely prepared to sacrifice anything for your friends and family. But the only one that you would do absolutely anything was your best friend, Yuuji Itadori, whom you loved with all your heart, even as a teen.

That story stuck with you for a long time, the bracelet on your wrist that you used to summon Hokori, gave you the biggest reminder. You gained the bracelet at the age of 13, when you exorcised your first semi grade two curse, alone with no help.

Your grandfather trained with you, taught you how to control Hokori. Your grandfather explained that Hokori would listen to your every command, and would treat you with respect as long as you treated him with respect.

But the first time when you unlocked hokori, something was different. He didn't speak to you out loud, but in your head. He could hear every thought you had and you could communicate telepathically. Hokori took the form as a black and white tatsu.

You were not surprised, since as you grew up you often dreamed of your hokori shape being a tatsu. Next to that bracelet, was a small thin one with an engraved dragon to match your tatsu. Yuuji had given that one to you on your 16th birthday. It was your favourite gift, not just because he gave it to you, but it felt like he was thinking of you at the time when he got it for you. You supposed it sounded stupid, but you allowed yourself to indulge in it anyways.

Maybe when he'd remember your favourite coffee order, or when he bought you bubble tea on the way back to the dorms after a mission. It made you feel loved and cared for.

You were a very tactile person, so you were usually touching Itadori at all times. Arm resting on his shoulder, elbows bumping when walking together, knees resting against each other. The actions were simple, small, but you enjoyed them.

You knew better than to read into them too much, believing that his obsession with Jennifer Lawrence would never allow him to like you back. You tried to get yourself to understand that, and realise it properly so you could stop being enamoured with him, but it didn't quite work.

So that's why you were here in front of his dorm room at 9 am on a Sunday morning, hand in a fist, ready to knock and ask him if he wants to train with you, just so you can spend some extra time with you.

You take a deep breath of air, and knock. You hear some shuffling coming from inside, and the unlocking of the door, and you're brought face to face with Itadori as he opens the door. Immediately it feels like a bunch to your stomach and a squeeze around your heart as you take him in with your eyes in all his early morning glory.

The dyed pink hair at the top of his head, ruffled from his hands running through it, his eyes crinkled in a smile at the sight of you. Regardless of seeing him almost everyday, you still had a fluttering feeling in your stomach whenever you saw him. "hey, what's up?" he asked.

You told him that you wanted to train with him since you had a new fight combo you wanted to try out. "yeah sure, just let me get ready, I'll meet you in the grounds in 10." he said as he closed the door. You walked away towards the training grounds and summoned Hokori.

"heh. mortal love still amuses me" Hokori said to you, taking his tatsu form besides you."dude, you're living in my head, stop reading every thought, it's quite annoying " you thought back to him, not having to say a single word out loud. you went towards the vending machine and bought Yuuji his favourite drink while waiting for him. When he finally arrived, you handed his drink, set down your own and stood on opposite ends of the fighting pitch.

You both assume a fighting position, legs shoulder width apart, fists raised and elbows bent, protecting your face and your side as best as you could. You knew Yuuji was a strong fighter and extremely fast, so you prepared yourself for his attack.

Based on you watching his other fights, he usually started with a punch or a kick to the side, knowing that, you called for hokori with your mind. "block!" hearing your call, he warps in front of you effectively breaking the brunt of itadori's punch. "Throw him!" Yet again, he follows your command, and grabs itadori and throws him. Itadori, lands on his feet, and charges toward you.

Just before impact, Gojo appears, teleporting with his ability and ending the fight. Letting Yuuji know that he has a mission. You don't understand why you aren't tasked with him as usual, but you don't ask since you're not interested in making a scene.

You know you shouldn't be worried, Yuuji can hold his own. really well, too. You let out a little sigh and walk over to the bench and pick up your drink, where his is too and throw it over to him. He catches it, throws you a smile and gojo takes him away.

The next few hours are slightly stressful for you. You believe in him, and you know he is able to hold his own, but you're so used to fighting with him that you can't help but worry when he's not with you. this is his first mission alone, without you or fushiguro. Per usual, as soon as yuuji's gone, you feel lonely so you head over to hang with Nobara and Fushiguro.

" Y/N."

"what"

"stop worrying about him, he's going to be fine" Megumi says, eyes dull, looking stoic as ever.

"give her a break, she's always with him, it's like she has seperation anxiety. Y/N, You are powerful, but yuuji doesn't need you to protect him." Nobara throws you a small candy, hoping to get your mind off of yuuji.

"i know- but I can't help but be worried. I mean, He's been gone for a lot longer than he should be. Maybe Gojo's taken him to buy some sweets or something. That damn old man, he only thinks about himself"

suddenly, you hear gojo's shrill voice from somewhere within the dorms. "Y/N!!!! where are you? I need you!" Nobara laughs and gives you a look of pity; "old man's looking for you, wonder what hes up to now." You shoot her a look of irritation, but you're slightly worried, since Gojo was supposed to be helping with the excorcising mission. You call for tatsu to bring you and he complies, slightly irritated.

You arrive, seeing yuuji floating next to gojo, looking slightly pinker than usual and completely out of it. He's staring fixated at you and mumbling under his breath, and you have no clue what he's saying. You turn to glare at gojo, "what did you do!?" Gojo turns to you sheepishly smiles and says "I yelled at yuuji to come try one of my kikifuku and the curse hit him. Shoko says he's fine, and that it'll wear off in a while, but the effects are similar to being drunk."

"if it's such a low level curse, why did you need him?" gojo rubs the back of his head, " False report, It was supposed to be a stronger one" You sigh, and gojo snaps his fingers and yuuji falls to the ground. "okay! I'm leaving him in your care! bye˜" With that, he disappears, most likely gone to annoy Nanamin sensei or shoko. you send a little prayer for them, and turn to yuuji.

"hey dude, you alright?" Yuuji looks up from the floor where he was lying, and stares at you fixatedly.

"y/n! i missed you" he slurs. "yeah yeah, missed you too. Now c'mon, i'll take you back to your room." You hoist him up, completely forgetting that you can always just have tatsu carry him.

He's clinging onto you quite tightly, and you struggle to walk him to his dorm. You give up and bring him to your room, throwing him on to the bed and ignoring his "mppf" of protest. You realise your cheeks have heaten up and you begin to fan your cheeks. "y/nn" he drags out , bringing your attention back to him. "Yes?"

"You're so pretty" he mumbles into your pillow. you get flustered but try not to show it, reminding yourself that he's been hit with a curse and he probably doesn't mean it. So instead, you hit back with a "i know. I'm stunning." he grins soppily and whispers " you matter a lot to me" and you respond with " aw, you're my best friend too"

"no no, not like that" he pouts like a child. " you matter a lot , i like you very very much. " you're not sure what kind of way he means it, but you really hope it's the same way you mean it. But, you remember again, he's been hit with a curse.

"Cmon Yuuji, you should probably get some rest, you're talking nonsense." you tell him pushing his head back onto your pillow and throwing the blanket over him. Tatsu appears, in his little dragon form, and whispers to you ; " he's telling the truth. Albeit slightly like a child."

You wave him away and tell him he's speaking nonsense. He grins at you and poofs away. You sit down at your desk and do some studying. You may be a jujutsu sorcerer but you should still know basic physics.

"y/n?" you hear him whisper, you turn to him. " what's up?" "c'mere" you get up and move next to him in the bed, since this is something you're used to.

He hugs you from behind and whispers " i actually do like you, and before you say anything about how im still under the influence of the curse, I swear, I'm not. Ask me a basic math question, you'll see, i'll get it right." "fine. what's 115 + 27?" he pauses , before whining, "gimme something easier please!! You know I can't do math mentally." you know he's finally back to normal.

He turns serious; "I'm sorry it took me so long, but i needed to make sure if i really liked you this way. Please tell me you feel the same." he whispers in your ear. You're shivering and you don't know why. You turn around to face him. " i feel the same. You're an idiot for not noticing sooner. everyone knew. Hell, I'm pretty sure Gojo knows." He gives you a small smile before leaning in to kiss you, and you know it's finally happened.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LITG S5 — Volume II E03 Script

If there are any glaring mistakes please let me know*

!Spoilers Ahead!

*I know the Dana & Kat changing scene is wonky but it wasn't worth the effort to make it flow well for a scene that's only there to encourage you to spend gems on outfits.

Ex in the Rear View

Something stands in the way of a budding new romance.

——————————————————————————————

NARRATOR: Something is brewing. Is it coffee? Is it one of Finn’s craft IPAs? Nope, it’s drama with a capital D.

NARRATOR: Kat’s storming towards [MC]. This can only mean one thing!

NARRATOR: A handshake and a mutual appreciation of opposing opinions.

You and Alfie are on the bean bags as Kat storms across the garden towards you!

KAT: I need a chat with you, now!

You try to leave, to give Alfie and Kat their space.

KAT: With both of you!

You freeze.

ALFIE: You don't need to get [MC] involved.

KAT: From my view, she looked VERY involved with you, babe.

MC: Oh so you're spying on me now?

KAT: The whole villa just saw you two.

ALFIE: It wasn't a big deal. It was just some cheeky flirting.

KAT: Wise up, hun. She's after you.

MC: Excuse me?!

KAT: Cracking on with someone else's guy?

KAT: Whatever happened to girl-code?

CHOICE

①. I’ll flirt with who I want

②. Sorry, you're right

③. I can flash some claws of my own, Kat

①.

MC: If I want to flirt with Alfie, I will.

You seductively place your hand on Alfie’s arm

MC: Alfie doesn’t seem to mind.

MC: Do you, Alife?

KAT: You’re messing with his head.

MC: Chill, Kat. Maybe it’s just flirting.

②.

MC: You're right. I'm sorry.

MC: You and Alfie are in a couple, and I should have respected that.

MC: I get that what we did could have seemed over the line from your point of view.

③.

MC: If you want to go there, Kat, I’ll go there.

MC: And you don't give a crap about girl-code.

MC: You're acting all aggy about me having a chat with Alfie.

MC: But everyone knows you'd bin him, as soon as, for a bit of Finn.

—

KAT: You're a sneak!

MC: Are you serious?

MC: In the couples quiz, you said we all need to get to know each other!

{If kissed Alfie E02}

KAT: That doesn't mean kissing him for everyone to see!

{If smiled at Alfie E02}

KAT: That doesn't mean flirting with him for everyone to see!

{If hugged Alfie E02}

KAT: That doesn't mean hugging him for everyone to see!

Alfie slides between you and Kat.

ALFIE: It's calm, it's calm.

ALFIE: Kat, I owe you an explanation. Can we have a chat?

KAT: To be continued then.

ALFIE: Come on, Kat. Let's have a private chat. We'll sort this between us.

Kat reluctantly allows Alfie to escort her to the swing. You exhale. Dana hurries over to you.

DANA: Oh my days of the week! That chat was A LOT.

DANA: Do you think Kat will let it go now she's said her piece?

CHOICE

①. Yeah, it’ll be chill

②. I’m worried she won’t

③. No, but bring it on

①.

MC: I think it’ll blow over.

MC: She’s let it out. I bet she calms down now.

②.

MC: I doubt she’ll drop it, but I wish she would!

MC: Not everyone wants a lot of drama.

③.

MC: No way is she over this. But, bring it on, Kat!

MC: If she’s out to cause drama, I won’t back down.

—

DANA: She was the one out of line.

{If flirt who I want}

MC: Exactly! I’m entitled to flirt.

{If said sorry}

MC: Even so, I apologised. That’s all I can do.

{If flash claws}

MC: Exactly! And I don’t put up with that.

You see Kat glaring at you from across the garden.

——————————————————————————————

The afternoon sun is hot and heavy. You're on the day beds with Eddie and Finn.

EDDIE: That confrontation with you and Kat was intense!

FINN: Kat was breathing fire, so she was.

He flaps his arms and cries like a dragon. You laugh.

FINN: Day one and the drama is here!

EDDIE: [MC], how are you feeling after that?

CHOICE

①. Whatever. I'm not rattled

②. I feel bad. I hate drama

③. I'm feeling good. No regrets

①.

MC: I’m not bothered.

MC: Kat's all bark, no bite.

MC: She can say what she wants. I’m not gonna let it bother me.

②.

MC: Ugh. I feel kinda bad.

FINN: Why? Kat was the one kicking off.

MC: Yeah, but I hate drama.

MC: I hope this blows over fast.

③.

MC: I’m great! I know I did nothing wrong.

MC: It’s not against the rules to flirt in the villa.

MC: So what if Alfie and I were flirting in front of everyone?

MC: Would she rather we did it behind her back?

FINN: You're a little drama-magnet, aren't you?

MC: Hey! Maybe I think it's healthy to be open and upfront.

MC: If someone has a problem with me, I want to know.

—

MC: Hey! Maybe I think it's healthy to be open and upfront.

MC: If someone has a problem with me, I want to know.

Finn chuckles.

FINN: No way Kat's gonna let this go.

FINN: I can hear the fireworks already.

He cups his ear and pretends to listen.

EDDIE: Don't stoke the flames, bro.

FINN: Talking of stoking flames…

{If don't remember date E02}

FINN: [MC], you said in the quiz you didn't remember that hot air balloon Suresh took you on.

FINN: Loved seeing you winding him up.

MC: Are you stirring the pot, Finn?

Finn holds up his hands, innocently. But he's smiling.

MC: I see you smiling, Finn.

FINN: A bit of drama keeps life interesting.

{If love adventure dates E02}

FINN: I think you get it, [MC]. You said in the quiz, you're into adventurous dates.

MC: Dates, yeah. Don't know if that always applies to life in general.

EDDIE: There's a difference between adventure and drama.

EDDIE: Gotta keep it chill, keep it calm.

{If prefer chilled dates E02}

EDDIE: [MC], you said in the quiz that you like chilled dates.

EDDIE: Chill is my goal in dates and life.

FINN: Eddie, I can't picture you having a barney.

EDDIE: That's because you've never seen me after losing a rugby match.

They laugh.

MC: Boys and sport.

You roll your eyes.

FINN: Don't hate on sport.

FINN: Sport is one of the ways we let out our feelings.

He and Finn tackle each other in a bear hug.

You laugh. Finn pulls you into the bear hug and the three of you roll on the day bed, laughing loudly.

This draws the watchful eyes of Suresh. You notice him hanging about by the pool, pretending to not be looking in your direction.

FINN: Hey, [MC]!

Your attention is drawn back to Finn and Eddie. Finn stands on the day bed, flexing in ridiculous poses.

Eddie bench-presses pillows. He pretends to strain under their ‘weight'.

EDDIE: This doing it for you, [MC]?

You laugh, entertained by the boys' shenanigans.

FINN: Fancy a private chat with one of us manly specimens?

{If get to know the boys E02}

MC: Finn, we had a private chat on the terrace earlier.

FINN: But there’s so much more Finn to get to know.

{If turn the guys down E02}

FINN: You turned down my offer of a private chat earlier.

FINN: Don’t tell me you’re gonna pie me off again?

FINN: I promise Eddie won't cry when you pick me.

Eddie playfully jabs Finn in the ribs.

EDDIE: As if she'd pick a cocky bro like you.

You laugh but it’s interrupted by Kat calling across the garden from the kitchen.

KAT: Finn? Can you help me move this chair? I need your muscles.

Kat shoots you a mischievous look as Finn stands up.

FINN: I must go where I’m needed.

FINN: Lucky break for you, Eddie boy.

Finn grins and swaggers off to the kitchen to help Kat. You and Eddie are left on the day beds.

EDDIE: The mosquitos are out. I’ve got this great lemongrass oil that you rub on your skin to keep them away.

EDDIE: Shall we go upstairs and get it? I can help you rub it in.

CHOICE

①. Yes, please!

②. Nah, I’m good as is

①.

MC: I’d love that, thanks.

MC: You can do my back for me.

EDDIE: My pleasure.

EDDIE: Lead the way.

②.

MC: I’m happy chilling here and I already put some oil on… But we can chat here.

EDDIE: Wouldn’t you rather get to know each other somewhere we can talk a little more freely?

EDDIE: Away from ol' Hungry Eyes?

He points at Suresh over at the pool. Suresh is still pretending - badly - not to be watching you.

EDDIE: We haven’t had a proper chance to get to know each other yet.

EDDIE: You sure you don’t want to move someplace more private?

CHOICE

❶. You’re right. Let’s go!

❷. Nah, let’s go to the swing seat instead

❶.

MC: To upstairs!

EDDIE: After you.

He gestures for you to lead the way towards the villa.

❷.

MC: I don’t want to go all the way upstairs, but let's move to the swing seat.

MC: We’ll be able to talk more openly there, but it won’t look like we’re sneaking off to do anything too naughty.

MC: Maybe there’s been enough drama already.

—

Just then, you see Suresh approach Alfie and take him off for a private chat. You wonder what Suresh is up to.

{if chat with Eddie privately}—————————————————

You and Eddie recline next to each other on one of the beds.

MC: How are you finding villa life?

EDDIE: This might be my fave bit so far.

He slowly rubs lemongrass oil on the top of your back.

MC: Of the villa or of my back?

EDDIE: Both.

EDDIE: Thanks for having this chat with me.

MC: Of course. I want to get to know you better.

EDDIE: I’m an open book. Read me!

MC: OK, then. Tell me, in relationships, are you a player or a stayer?

EDDIE: Stayer, a million percent. I was with my last girlfriend for 3 years.

MC: And you never cheated?

EDDIE: I've never, ever cheated! That's not who I am.

MC: A good guy, huh?

EDDIE: I try to be. I love animals. I'm close with my family.

MC: So you're saying you're a catch?

EDDIE: Hopefully you think I’m boyfriend material?

CHOICE

①. You’re a dreamboat

②. Not in my opinion

③. I'm not sure yet

①.

MC: Sounds like you're a dream guy.

EDDIE: Are you saying I'm YOUR dream guy?

MC: Maybe. Although it’s still early days.

EDDIE: True, but you’re seeming pretty dreamy yourself so far.

②.

MC: Maybe I look for something else in a boyfriend?

Eddie pretends to have been stabbed in the heart.

EDDIE: No! You're ruining me.

MC: You'll get over it.

③.

MC: I can't tell yet.

MC: Like you say, this is only our first proper chat.

EDDIE: You'll just have to get to know me more then, won't you?

—

EDDIE: Whatever I am, at least I'm not like Suresh.

MC: Meaning?

EDDIE: He's a cheater. And he walks around the villa all cocky. Not my vibe.

CHOICE

①. Hey, don't slag off Suresh

②. You’re right about Suresh!

③. Let's change the topic

①.

MC: You don't know Suresh well enough to talk bad about him.

EDDIE: I know I don't trust a cheater.

MC: People are complicated.

EDDIE: Treating people right seems pretty simple to me.

②.

MC: You're so right. Suresh is way too cocky.

MC: He always was.

EDDIE: I can't picture you with someone like him.

③.

MC: Ugh, let's not talk about Suresh.

MC: I can't seem to get away from him in this villa.

EDDIE: Sorry! We defo don't have to talk about him.

MC: Thanks!

—

EDDIE: Let’s talk about something much more fun: me and you.

MC: You think there’s a potential ‘me and you’?

EDDIE: I have a feeling there could be.

MC: Time to turn the tables. I want to hear what you think of the girls.

EDDIE: You're all stunning, obviously.

EDDIE: You've certainly caught my eye.

CHOICE

①. Flirt back

②. Play it cool

①.

MC: Oh really?

EDDIE: What do you think about that?

MC: I can't imagine nicer eyes to be caught in.

EDDIE: Back at you. I can feel myself melting every time you look at me.

②.

MC: Thought you were cool?

EDDIE: Things heated up when you walked in.

—

Both of your eyes move to the bottle of lemongrass oil.

CHOICE

①. Offer to rub oil into his back

②. Hold back for now

①.

MC: Want me to return the favour?

EDDIE: If you’re happy to, I’m not complaining.

You spray the oil onto his toned back and gently rub it into his shoulders, feeling his muscles tense and relax as you do.

EDDIE: That feels amazing.

You work your way down his smooth back a little, rubbing in circular motions. You notice how the smell of the oil combines with his own fragrance.

He turns and smiles at you, attraction and affection in his eyes.

②.

You return Eddie’s smile but leave it at that, for now.

MC: You're just saying that as I'm sat here.

EDDIE: I'm not. You really have caught my eye.

MC: Who says I want your eyes – or any of you – on me?

EDDIE: I think you might.

—

You can't help smiling. Another boy in this villa is after you.

MC: How are you feeling about Dana? I thought I picked up a vibe between you two.

EDDIE: Maybe I was just trying to make you jealous?

MC: That wouldn’t be very nice of you.

MC: I thought you were Mr Nice Guy?

EDDIE: I am! I was just joking.

EDDIE: Luckily, what I lack in jokes, I make up for in honesty.

He gives you a beaming smile with his perfect teeth and gorgeous, sparkling eyes.

{if chat with Eddie on swing}—————————————————

You and Eddie sit on the swing. The other Islanders are in view but out of earshot.

Eddie plucks a flower from a vine on the wall and sticks it behind your ear.

MC: You're loving this, aren't you?

EDDIE: Being here with you? Yes.

MC: I meant being in the villa. You look like you're in your element.

EDDIE: I'm loving villa life. Beautiful place, beautiful girls, not much competition to speak of.

MC: Oh really? So what’s your read on the other boys?

EDDIE: Finn? He's a hunk, but he knows it. Head’s too big.

EDDIE: Alfie's fun… as a mate. He's got bants for days.

EDDIE: And Suresh? He's got a cool spy vibe going. But that's also his problem: too slick, too slippery.

MC: Sounds like you've got everyone figured out.

EDDIE: What? You don't agree?

CHOICE

①. I agree, a million percent

②. You're talking out of your arse

③. A girl never reveals her secrets

④. I guess I agree with some of that

①.

MC: I totally agree.

MC: You might come across as cocky, but you're not wrong about the boys.

EDDIE: Ya see?

He winks.

②.

MC: I think you're way off about the boys.

MC: You're selling them short. There's more to each of them than you think.

EDDIE: Oh really? Interesting.

③.

MC: Wouldn't you like to know?

MC: I'm not letting you in on what I think about the other boys.

EDDIE: Go on. I won't tell them.

MC: My lips are sealed.

④.

MC: I think you’re spot on about some of those things. But off the mark on some stuff too.

EDDIE: Enlighten me, please.

MC: I think I’ll let you figure it out for yourself.

—

MC: Time to turn the tables. I want to hear what you think of the girls.

EDDIE: You're all stunning, obviously.

EDDIE: You've certainly caught my eye.

CHOICE

①. Flirt back

②. Play it cool

①.

MC: Oh really?

EDDIE: What do you think about that?

MC: I can't imagine nicer eyes to be caught in.

②.

MC: You're just saying that because I'm sat here.

EDDIE: I'm not. You really have caught my eye.

MC: Who says I want your eyes – or any of you – on me?

EDDIE: I think you do.

—

EDDIE: You’re giving me a lot to think about, [MC].

MC: Like what?

EDDIE: Let’s just say it involves eggs and baskets. And where to put them.

Eddie gives you a playful wink and a chuckle. You can't help smiling. Another boy in the villa is competing for you.

——————————————————————————————

You enter the kitchen to grab a drink. And who's there? Suresh.

MC: Hi.

SURESH: Surprised to see you taking a break from riling me up.

MC: I've barely spoken to you tonight.

SURESH: Exactly. You've been flirting and chatting with all the boys in front of me.

MC: That's what people do in the villa.

SURESH: Except you're doing it to put me off.

SURESH: You're hoping I'll give up on you and move on to another girl.

MC: That's a big assumption.

SURESH: I know your games, babe.

CHOICE

①. I’m not playing games

②. My games are too good for you to spot

③. You don’t know who I am now

①.

MC: How dare you tell me I’m playing games?

MC: If anyone’s playing games, it’s you.

SURESH: That doesn’t sound like me.

②.

MC: Suresh, if I were playing games, you’d never even know.

MC: I’m on another whole level than you.

MC: I could play games around you all day long if I wanted to, and you’d never be the wiser.

SURESH: Now that’d be interesting.

③.

MC: Whoever you thought I was then isn’t who I am now. I’ve changed since our break-up.

SURESH: People don’t change. Not really.

MC: Well, then, I guess you’ll have to wait and see.

—

SURESH: Games or no games, my head won't be turned, no matter who walks through that door.

SURESH: I'm going to win you back.

{If could want Suresh back E02}

SURESH: I know you said I need to convince you, and I will.

{If don't want Suresh back E02}

SURESH: I know you said you don't want me back, but I'll change your mind.

{If not sure E02}

SURESH: I know you're not sure, but you will be.

SURESH: I’ve changed a lot since you last saw me… I’ll show you.

SURESH: I admit it: In the past, I didn’t treat you as well as you deserved.

SURESH: And I'm not claiming to have turned into an angel now….

SURESH: After all, angels are boring…

SURESH: But I am done cheating.

CHOICE

①. Maybe you’ve learned your lesson

②. I don't buy it, Suresh

①.

MC: I might believe you.

SURESH: Do you?

MC: I’m saying it’s possible you mean it when you say you're not a cheater anymore.

MC: Whether you can follow through is something else.

②.

MC: You can save your breath, ‘cos I'm not buying it.

SURESH: I'm serious.

MC: You can talk the talk, but so far, your actions don’t match what you’re saying.

—

SURESH: Don’t worry; I'll show you I'm serious.

SURESH: I'll give you some space to get your head sorted. That’s what a good guy would do, right?

MC: Are you saying you’re a good guy now?

Suresh gives you a mysterious smile as he hovers closer to you…

SURESH: Fair. I'll never be good, but that's what turns you on about me.

CHOICE

①. Don’t tell me what I think!

②. I like nice guys

③. Maybe it does

①.

MC: Don’t assume you know my mind! Ugh, that’s so typical of you!

MC: You haven’t changed at all.

You turn to leave.

SURESH: Wait!

SURESH: Hear me out.

②.

MC: What turns me on is a nice boy.

MC: ‘Good’ is what I’m into.

MC: Not that you’d understand that.

SURESH: Actually, I do. I get it now.

③.

MC: Maybe I like the bad boy thing…

MC: Maybe I just don’t like it on YOU anymore?

MC: Or maybe I like a bad boy who’s actually a good guy deep down.

SURESH: Maybe that’s who I am now.

—

SURESH: I’m different now.

SURESH: Back then, I’d do anything – say anything – to get in your bed.

MC: Now you’ve gotten back into my bed ‘cos we’re a couple. No change there.

SURESH: That’s where you’re wrong.

SURESH: I’m stepping back and giving you the bed.

MC: What?

SURESH: I’ll sleep on the day beds tonight.

MC: Why would you do that?

SURESH: Got to give you a chance to miss me.

SURESH: But seriously. I’ll give you all the space you need. I’m ready to play the long game.

SURESH: Sweet dreams.

He swaggers away with a sexy smirk.

You watch him as he walks out into the garden, sipping gently on his drink.

——————————————————————————————

You and the other girls are in the dressing room, removing the day's make-up. Obvious tension in the air between you and Kat.

MC: Intense day, huh?

KAT: That's one word for it.

DANA: Today was bonkers-tonkers! But I'm having a blast.

DANA: I'm obsessed with those little birdies that keep drinking from the pool!

DANA: Worst case scenario and I don't find love in here? At least I'll have seen some sick wildlife.

DANA: I'll be the girl who leaves the villa with a nightingale!

The mood lightens in the room.

DANA: Girls, what'd you say to a 'no cracking on' pact?

KAT: Babe, cracking on is the whole reason I'm here.

DANA: Just for tonight, I mean.

Kat raises an eyebrow.

DANA: As a way to keep the drama at bay on the first night. Ya know?

KAT: OK, then. I'm all about girl-code.

She shoots you a look.

DANA: You down, [MC]?

CHOICE

①. Yes girl-code! I'm down with the pact

②. Nah, I reserve my right to crack on!

①.

MC: Absolutely.

MC: I'm so down with this pact. Great idea!

MC: The Suresh situation has caused enough drama for one day.

KAT: Let's not forget the Alfie situ, too.

DANA: Yay! Pact!

②.

MC: No cracking on sounds like no fun.

MC: I'm all for girl-code, but this is Love Island, not friend island.

DANA: I just thought maybe after the whole Suresh situ this afternoon, we'd want a drama-free night?

MC: Sometimes you need to step on toes to find love.

MC: Sorry, girls. I vote no on the pact.

DANA: Fair; you do you, girl. But Kat and I are committed to the pact.

DANA: Right, Kat?

—

KAT: 'No cracking on' doesn't mean no looking.

She smiles mischievously.

KAT: Sharing a bedroom full of hot guys is my kind of paradise.

You and Dana exchange a nervous glance. Kat catches you.

KAT: Don't get moody, babes.

KAT: The pact ain't stopping me from being the hottest girl in the bedroom.

KAT: I've got a banging outfit for tonight.

DANA: Me too. The pact doesn’t mean I’m not going all out to make an impression on the first night.

DANA: Gonna make sure I’m looking and feeling lush!

KAT: Talking a strong game, Dana. Wonder whether {0} will go big or go home?

DANA: I’ve got an idea. Try on this gorgeous bedroom outfit, {0}.

KAT: That's a saucy little outfit.

KAT: Guess you're trying to compete with me.

DANA: Woooooooooo, girl! You look hot!

DANA: I can't get enough.

DANA: So, are you gonna go with that or something else?

CHOICE

①. Yes, I’m wearing this!

②. I’m going to see what else I’ve got

③. Maybe I’ll stick with what I was wearing

① & ②.

You pose confidently in front of the mirror.

MC: I love it.

DANA: You are looking absolutely fire!

KAT: Yep, even I can’t argue with that!

③.

MC: I can just change back…

MC: Is it too blah?

DANA: OK, real talk.

DANA: You know I think you’re hot as heck, but

DANA: You’re selling yourself short in that.

DANA: Plus, the boys might not get your whole… uhrmmm… effortless chic thing.

KAT: Your whole grandma thing, more like.

You study yourself in the mirror. Maybe you do look a little basic.

DANA: If you're not feeling those PJs, change into something else.

CHOICE

❶. You’ve swayed me. I’m going for this fancy outfit!

❷. I’m going to see what else I’ve got

❸. I’m sticking with my original look

❶ & ❷.

DANA: So, you’ve settled on the saucy outfit anyway. Can’t blame you.

KAT: Yeah, you look stunning. I’m not sure I’d have been able to pick anything else.

❸.

MC: I look nice in this.

DANA: You do you, [MC].

KAT: Sometimes it helps to be a little bit more than nice though, babe.

MC: Actually, I do look absolutely stunning in this!

DANA: You sure do.

KAT: I’ve got to give it to you. You look pretty good. Almost as good as me.

DANA: No need to be sour, Kat.

DANA: You look great in that outfit!

KAT: Yeah, it’s a good choice too, you look hot as.

DANA: So, you’re sticking with the basics. Fair enough.

KAT: Well, I guess you’ll be comfortable at least.

Kat and Dana strut out of the dressing room.

You check yourself out in the mirror for a moment before heading towards the bedroom.

As you're stepping out of the dressing room, Alfie catches you.

ALFIE: Can we have a quick chat?

MC: Sure. What's up?

ALFIE: I've been feeling low-key awks about the Kat drama earlier.

MC: Not your fault. Kat is…

ALFIE: She's fiery.

You chuckle.

MC: She’s not shy, that’s for sure.

ALFIE: She knows her mind and doesn't take any crap. I like that.

MC: Oh. Ok.

ALFIE: It's all good.

ALFIE: Listen, I wanted to say I hope that the drama with Kat hasn't jeopardised our friendship.

MC: So we're just friends?

ALFIE: Of course not 'just friends'.

{If kissed Alfie E02}

ALFIE: Who could forget our near-kiss earlier?

MC: Not me. The sparks were flying.

ALFIE: I think I got an electric shock.

{If smiled at Alfie E02}

ALFIE: How could I forget that steamy smile you gave me at the bean bags?

MC: Glad you didn’t forget about it.

ALFIE: A man could never forget getting lost in your beautiful eyes.

{If hugged Alfie E02}

ALFIE: I haven’t forgotten that loooooong hug we had on the bean bags.

MC: Glad I left an impression on you.

{If kissed Alfie's neck while hugging E02}

ALFIE: And don’t think that sexy little neck kiss escaped my notice either.

ALFIE: There's definitely chemistry. Chemistry that could maybe synthesise –

ALFIE: Synthesise? That’s a chemistry word, right? I’m counting it as a pun.

ALFIE: Anyway, we’ve got chemistry that could develop into a romantic connection. I think.

MC: You think? You don't sound too sure.

Alfie shrugs.

ALFIE: Early days, innit? But obviously I'll be sharing a bed with Kat tonight.

ALFIE: But nothing is set in stone yet, ya know?

ALFIE: It's only the first day and I'm not putting all my eggs in any one basket yet.

ALFIE: People in here are still just starting to show their true colours. Like your ex…

MC: I saw he pulled you for a chat earlier.

ALFIE: I like to chat to everyone. See who's who. Social butterfly, innit?

MC: Sure. But it looked like a kinda deep conversation you had with Suresh.

ALFIE: We had a solid chat, yeah.

CHOICE

①. Any goss?

②. Don't trust him

③. I don’t want to pry

①.

MC: Come on, spill the tea

ALFIE: It was just a casual chat.

MC: Why are you so interested in talking to Suresh all of a sudden?

ALFIE: Why is it a problem if I am?

MC: It could be if you're digging for dirt on me.

ALFIE: Whoa, who said anything about digging for dirt?

MC: So you’re saying I didn’t come up?

ALFIE: Well…

②.

MC: You know you can't believe everything Suresh says, right?

ALFIE: Why not?

MC: He's a cheater. Cheaters can't be trusted. Take it from me.

ALFIE: Don't worry. I took anything he said about you with a pinch of salt.

③.

MC: It’s none of my business what you talked about.

MC: I’m not assuming you guys talked about me.

—

ALFIE: We talked about a bunch of stuff. It wasn’t just about you.

MC: So you and Suresh DID talk about me!

Alfie hesitates.

ALFIE: Yeah, Suresh told me some stuff. Why?

CHOICE

①. None of my business

②. Is Suresh turning you against me?

③. I care about your opinion, not Suresh’s

①.

MC: Whatever. You boys are entitled to your private chats.

MC: It’s not my place to constantly censor people’s opinions of me.

ALFIE: I still think you're a top girl. You've got the bants, the looks, the personality.

ALFIE: But there's still loads we don't know about each other yet.

②.

MC: He better not be feeding you lies about me.

ALFIE: You don't know what he said about you.

MC: I know there are two sides to every story. Suresh could be biased when it comes to our past.

MC: He has no right to try to sabotage whatever connections I might be building here in the villa…

③.

MC: I’m not bothered by what Suresh thinks about me. I care what you think about me.

MC: Suresh is going to say what he feels. But remember he’s my ex.

MC: My past is my past. Anything you've heard, I hope it hasn't ruined any potential here and now.

ALFIE: Don't worry. I form my own opinions on people.

—

ALFIE: You and me, we've got a connection, for sure.

{If wearing gem outfit}

ALFIE: And you’re looking incredible in that outfit, my days.

ALFIE: But like I said, It's early days.

ALFIE: Who knows what will happen?

{If chose Alfie E01}

ALFIE: Sure, you originally chose to couple with me, but things change fast in here.

{If chose Eddie E01}

ALFIE: Sure, you originally chose to couple with Eddie, but things change fast in here.

{If chose Suresh E01}

ALFIE: Sure, you originally chose to couple with Suresh, but things change fast in here.

ALFIE: A day is like a week in the villa.

ALFIE: We're still all figuring each other out. Don’t you think?

CHOICE

①. Absolutely! Same page

②. I’m neutral

③. I’ve figured out I’m into you

①.

MC: Definitely agree! We’re still the getting-to-know-everyone phase.

MC: In the meantime, it’s good we keep things light and easy.

MC: After all, tomorrow’s a new day.

②.

MC: I want everyone to be open-minded and not write people off too fast.

MC: Do you and I have a clean slate moving forward?

ALFIE: I hope so!

③.

MC: I already know I’m into you.

MC: I know what I like.

MC: If you’re not completely sold on me yet, I’ll just have to get grafting tomorrow, won’t I?

ALFIE: I look forward to it.

—

ALFIE: Excited to see what’s in store for us in the morning!

——————————————————————————————

You enter the iconic villa bedroom and cosy up in bed, alone. Suresh is outside on the day beds, ‘giving you space’.

You look around the room at the other couples snuggled up in bed together: Kat and Alfie, Dana and Eddie.

Finn stops by the foot of your bed.

FINN: You alright in that big bed all by yourself?

CHOICE

①. Heck yes! Extra space!

②. My mind is racing. I can’t relax

③. Actually, it's kinda lonely without a hot boy in here

①.

MC: I'm loving all this room.

You stretch out, luxuriantly.

FINN: Bet you wish I was taking up some of that room.

MC: Sounds like that’s YOUR wish, Finn…

MC: I'm enjoying having the bed to myself.

②.

MC: Ugh, no. I just can't turn off my brain and get comfy.

FINN: Would be a lot comfier with me in there with you.

MC: If you’re trying to help, thanks…

MC: But I just can't relax.

MC: My brain is whirling.

Finn perches on the edge of the bed.

FINN: Worried about the Alfie/Suresh situation?

MC: I'm not sure where I stand with either of them.

FINN: Try to sleep. Save sorting it for the morning.

③.

MC: All I’m missing is a sexy boy beside me.

FINN: Sounds like you need some company.

MC: Who says I was talking about you?

FINN: Of course you were. I'm VERY good company.

MC: I'm sure you are…

MC: But we're not a couple.

FINN: Yet.

He winks.

—

Finn wanders off toward his own bed, but continues chatting away to the whole room.

FINN: Don't worry, ladies. I won't be going to bed on my lonesome after tomorrow.

CHOICE

①. I'd love to get in his bed

②. I wish he’d cut the cockiness and let us sleep

①.

You lean across to the neighbouring bed and whisper to Dana.

MC: Imagine what it'd be like to curl up next to Finn?

MC: His shredded, tatted arms spooning you?

You shiver with excitement. Dana giggles.

DANA: That could be you in 24 hours, if he chooses you to couple up with tomorrow.

②.

You lean across to the neighbouring bed and whisper to Dana.

MC: I could use a break from Finn's constant cockiness.

MC: Ugh, I’m trying to sleep.

DANA: Like, we get it, Finn. You're hot and single.

MC: My brain is fried from all the drama today. I just want to sleep and wake up clear-headed tomorrow.

The bedroom lights go out and you settle in for sleep. But some rustling and whispering makes you open your eyes.

You look to your side and you can just make out Alfie and Kat in the next bed. A few tell-tale giggles suggest something more than just snuggling is going on.

KAT: Oh, Alfie.

ALFIE: You’re naughty.

You roll over. In the bed on your other side, you see the shadows of Dana and Eddie. They're spooning!

But Eddie soon nods off. A full day of flexing his pecs must have left him exhausted. He starts snoring, loud enough to drive Dana to the very edge of their bed.

You're distracted by more giggles rising from Kat and Alfie's bed.

Alfie and Kat are completely under the duvet. You see Kat's outstretched arm drop a piece of her nightwear to the floor. You can't be sure exactly what's happening, but it certainly seems like she's abandoned the no-cracking-on code.

CHOICE

①. Hide your head under a pillow

②. Get Dana's attention

③. Cough loudly

①.

You shove your head under your pillow. You don't want to see or hear any more.

②.

You roll over onto your other side. Psstt! You softly get Dana's attention.

When she blinks open an eye, you lean over and whisper.

MC: Are you seeing this?!

You nod toward Alfie and Kat's bed.

Dana sits up, looks over, and whispers back to you.

DANA: Is she breaking the pact already?!

You shrug.

Dana throws a balled-up pair of socks at Alfie and Kat's bed. You giggle.

Dana hisses at Alfie and Kat's duvet.

DANA: Oi! What happened to the pact, Kat?

Kat pops her head over the duvet, shoots you a grin, and then disappears back under it. Dana turns to you.

DANA: We're definitely grilling her about this tomorrow!

③.

You cough, loudly and on purpose. Alfie and Kat's giggles stop for a second.

But as soon as you shut your eyes, the giggles start back up again. You sigh and bury your head in your pillow.

—

Dana sneaks over to your bed and whispers.

DANA: I have to tell you! I can't sleep on it.

MC: What?

DANA: Earlier, Alfie told me that Suresh was hinting that your flirty behaviour with Alfie was just games.

DANA: Just a way to make Suresh jealous.

Before you can react to this revelation, Suresh walks into the room to get some insect repellent. You and Dana instantly stop talking.

Suresh looks over at you. There's a moment of tension. You hold your breath.

Suresh gives you a smile.

SURESH: I know I said I’d give you space, but good guys say good-night, right?

SURESH: Sleep tight. See you in your dreams.

He winks and leaves for the day beds.

DANA: Seems Suresh wants to play some games after all.

DANA: Question is: What are you going to do about it, [MC]?

NARRATOR: Kat and Alfie have already had more under the sheets action than I’ve had all year.

NARRATOR: Just kidding. I went dressed as a ghost to a fancy dress party. It counts.

NARRATOR: But will Kat and Alfie’s coupling come to a premature Finn-ish tomorrow night?

NARRATOR: Or will our crafty bombshell couple up with [MC] instead?

NARRATOR: Find out next time on Love Island.
