ITADORI x Female Reader (Fluff)

Yuji Itadori had done a lot of stupid things in his life.

But this might be at the top of the list.

"IT WASN'T ME!" Itadori practically shrieked, scrambling backward like he had just set himself on fire. His face was an alarming shade of red, his hands flailing in front of him like that would somehow erase what had just happened.

You, on the other hand, were still standing in place, completely frozen.

Because Yuji Itadori had just kissed you.

Your brain had barely caught up with reality before he pointed an accusing finger at his own face. "It was Sukuna! HE DID IT!"

For a moment, you just stared at him. Then, you squinted. "...What?"

Itadori gestured wildly, his voice rising with every word. "You know how he—he sometimes takes control when I let my guard down?! He must've—he definitely did something because I would never—"

"You would never?" You raised an eyebrow, crossing your arms.

"I— I mean, I would, but—WAIT NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT—"

Your lips twitched, and the second you saw the absolute panic on his face, it hit you. Oh, this is too good.

"So," you drawled, tilting your head. "Sukuna's got a thing for me?"

Itadori's soul practically left his body. "NO, I DON'T THINK SO?!"

You snorted. He looked absolutely done with life. His hands were on his head now, his body hunched over like he was in physical pain. "Oh my god, you're enjoying this," he mumbled weakly, still hiding his face.

"Maybe a little." You grinned, then leaned in slightly. "I dunno, Yuji. You seemed pretty into it before you started yelling."

He groaned, letting his head drop against the nearest wall. "Kill me."

"But then who would Sukuna use to make his next move?" you teased, biting your lip to keep from outright laughing.

He lifted his head just enough to glare at you. "You're evil."

You shrugged. "You kissed me."

"I TOLD YOU IT WASN'T—"

"Oh, relax, Yuji." You let out a breath, shaking your head. "I mean, I wasn't exactly mad about it."

That made him freeze mid-panic.

"…Wait. What?"

You sighed dramatically. "I guess I could do worse than getting kissed by a kinda cute guy."

Silence.

Then—

Boom.

Yuji Itadori malfunctioned in real time. His entire face, all the way down to his neck, exploded in red. "WH—HUH—?!" He stumbled over his own feet, pointing at you like you had just committed some unspeakable crime. "W-WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"

You smirked. "What? You're cute. What, never heard that before?"

"I—" His voice cracked. His hands opened and closed like he was trying to grab onto a single logical thought but failing miserably. "NO, I MEAN, YES— BUT NOT FROM YOU—WAIT, THAT'S—"

"Wow, are you shy, Itadori?" You tapped your chin thoughtfully. "I mean, you didn't seem very shy earlier when you were all over me."

Yuji let out an agonized sound, like he was physically in pain. "OH MY GOD."

You couldn't stop laughing now. He was fully cowering, covering his face with both hands as he paced in a frantic circle. The tips of his ears were burning.

"You—you can't just say stuff like that!" he practically wheezed.

"Why not?" You smirked. "You kissed me first."

He turned around so fast you thought he might snap his own neck. "IT WAS SUKUNA."

"Uh-huh."

"I—"

You took a step toward him, hands on your hips. "And if I asked Sukuna right now, what do you think he'd say?"

Yuji immediately looked like he wanted to throw himself off the nearest building. He gulped. "He'd say I'm an idiot."

You smiled. "Smart man."

He groaned into his hands again, muttering something about why is this happening to me.

Honestly? This was the most fun you'd had in weeks.

And this was only the beginning.
