"𝒔𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒐𝒙?" Gojo examines the cursed object, flipping it over scanning at every inch of it, running his fingers over the seal.

"Yep, but why didn't us four get sucked into it like everyone else?" It was a weird concept to think about, all the people in the mall got taken except from you guys.

"I'm not sure, maybe it has something to do with your cursed energies?" Gojo shrugs, not really caring, putting the box down on the desk he was leaning on, folding his arms over one another. Y/N and Gojo were in an empty classroom, discussing the mission from earlier today, running through its events from start to finish.

There was a momentary silence, the only sound was the clock on the wall ticking and the occasional birds singing outside.

"I saw my sister today." you say, avoiding eye contact, Gojo doesn't move, but his interest peaks.

"Oh?" He hums.

"Well, I thought I did anyway.. maybe it was a trick of the light." you run you hand over your face, the image of her flashes in your head once again before sighing and turning to look out the window, the sun setting as it glows a radiant orange glow bathing in the mixture of colours in the sky, shades of purple, pink and yellow combining like a watercolour painting creating a sense of tranquillity. Gojo doesn't say anything, instead he gets up and pats your shoulder, his hand staying there for an extra second before he goes to walk out, stopping at the door.

"There's another mission for the first years in three days, but you'll be with me instead, need to use your special thingymajiggy ability, the clairblah-blah-blah power to find someone that's gone missing, they allegedly have one of Sukuna's fingers!" he wiggles his fingers, imitating when you use your orb to locate objects.

"Clairvoyance." you deadpan."And can't you just do it on your own, sixth sense and all?"

"Yeahhhh but where's the fun in that? Plus, it's nice to have company once in a while." he smiles and you huff, hiding your own smile by looking to the side.

"Fine."

You wet your paintbrush, tapping it slightly on the water container to drop off the excess water before dipping it into the shade of pink you mixed, stroking it delicately onto the canvas, careful with your movements.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Hm? I wonder who that is.

"Yeah, one sec!" you call out to whosever's behind the door. Quickly, you turn the canvas you were painting on to face the wall, before getting up to open the door slightly, popping your head out it.

"Yo, Y/N!" Yuji waves.

"oh hey Yuji, what's up?" Y/N opens the door fully now, leaning against the door frame.

"I was wondering if you'd wanna watch a movie together, I tried to ask Fushiguro but he wouldn't even open his door." he points down to his dorm, nervously chuckling as he rubs the back of his neck at the rejection of Megumi.

"You have a TV??" Y/N tilts her head, not recalling Yuji bringing a TV with him when she helped him unpack.

"Oh, yeah! Gojo got me one!" His eyes twinkle a bit, remembering hugging Gojo shouting his gratitude at him countless times.

Of course he did.

"Cool, give me two secs to grab a hoodie and I'll be with you." You grab your grey hoodie which has some blots of dried acrylic paint stained onto it, closing your door behind you while walking with Yuji back to his dorm.

"So what do you wanna watch?" he turns his TV on, sitting back next to you, propping one of his knees up leaning his arm on it while he flicked through different movies.

"I'm not sure, but I'm down for some horror." Y/N yawns, sitting comfortably.

"have you watched Insidious?"

"Nope. You?"

"Nah, 'sposed to be good though. Wanna give it a watch?"

"Yeah sure, don't scream too much though." You giggle earning a nudge and a 'shut up' from him.

Twenty minutes into the movie, neither of you have reacted to any of the jumpscares, though you have to admit, it's a good movie. Yujis arm rests behind you on the top of the couch and you're slightly leaned into him. Y/Ns eyes start to feel heavy, every time you blink it gets harder to open your eyes again, your body starting to feel lighter and next thing you know, you drift off into sleep.

"AHHHH!!!" the little girl screams at the top of her lungs, the fear scratching at her throat as she squeezes her eyes shut, clutching onto her bunny teddy. Another nightmare. Again. They're a nightly occurrence, causing her to be too scared to sleep, the girl was scared of a lot of things, bugs, heights, the dark but mostly monsters the lurk in the darkness, and she was convinced there was one in her closet, watching her, waiting for the moment it can come out and devour her whole.

The door creaks open, a small beam of light entering her room casting the shadow of a figure which begins to walk towards her but she doesn't open her eyes, terrified the monsters finally decided to eat her.

"Jeez, you're such a wuss. you're ten now, it's time to stop acting like a baby." the young girl opens one of her eyes, revealing her older sister who's rubbing her eyes squinting down at her little sister in front of her."Another bad dream?" The older girl now sits next to her, hugging her legs.

Her little sister slowly nods, embarrassed to admit it, without saying anything, the child points at her closet, which is slightly open. The older girl sighs, standing up to walk over to the wardrobe, waiting before opening both the doors fully, rummaging through all the things until she stops, her hands on her hips. "No monsters in here."

The little girl shoves her face into her teddy, still not fully convinced, a warmth wraps her into an embrace causing her to look up, her older sister rubbing her back lovingly.

"There's nothing there I promise, nothing's going to hurt you as long as I'm here.""I'll always protect you, Y/N."

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

"Y/N..""Y/N...."

"Y/N!"

Y/N's eyes shoot open and she looks up at the voice calling her name, Yuji looking down at her as she was now fully leaning into him, his arm wrapped around her. Slowly, she moves her head to the TV, the end credits of the movie rolling, turning to Yuji who has a confused look on his face.

I really slept for that long?

"Were you crying?"

Her hand shoots up to her face as she sits up, feeling the dampness around her eyes, wiping it away.

"No, it's hot in here. it's probably just sweat." she begins to fan herself, sending cool air to her face.

"True, I can open a window if you want- to let in some air.. So if you went to sleep then you missed the whole movie." he pouts, now he can't talk about the ending. "Were you that scared that going to sleep was your only option?" he pinches your cheek before getting up to turn off the TV.

"What, no! I'm just really tired, we had a long day today with that cloning curse." which was true.

"Yeah yeah whatever you say." he teases before examining her tired state. "You wanna stay here for the night? I don't mind sleeping on the couch."

"No, it's okay,my dorm is like five minutes away." You stretch standing up, heading towards the door, your hand reaching for the handle.

"Oh, okay.." Yuji frowns, trying to sound really sad.

"Though...I guess one sleepover wouldn't hurt."

Yuji grins widely, celebrating his victory while putting his extra pillow and blanket on the couch, you felt it was too rude to make him sleep there and you two end up bickering about who should sleep on the couch and decide it through a game of rock paper scissors (you won).

After saying goodnight, you lie down pulling up the cover to hide half your face, closing your eyes but the only thing you can see is your dream stuck on a loop, over and over again.
