𝑳𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅, Yuji and you were having a sleepover in his room again.Only this time it included Nobara and somehow, Megumi.

It took ages for you to convince Megumi, but as you were giving up he reluctantly said 'fine', however he did threaten that if you guys get on his nerves once, he's leaving.

"So, what should we do first?" You spoke, lying down on Yuji's bed, your legs resting in his lap as he leaned back on his arms while his head rested against the wall.

"Hmm.. Oh i know! Have you guys seen that thing online where you're supposed to paint each other?" Nobara suggests, your interest in their conversation rising when you hear the word paint.

"ohhh yea, but Kugisaki, where are we gonna get the paint?" Yuji puffs his cheeks as the two fall back on the verge of death from boredom.

You clear your throat, making everyone turn to you, as you point to yourself proudly. "I have loads of paints, i have mini canvases we can use too."

"Y/N! You're our hero!" Yuji and Nobara cry out in sync, hugging you from either side. "Are you actually okay with these dumbasses using your art tools?" Megumi murmurs, yuji and Nobara cussing him out for calling them dumbasses.

"Yes Megumi its fine, awwww you actually care!" you coo pinching his cheeks causing him to hit your hands away, kissing his teeth as he does so.

"tch whatever. Just be quick, don't leave me with these morons." he looks away, now being cussed out again by the other two.

Walking into your dorm, you grab a backpack so that you don't have to carry everything by hand. After collected your paints, you begin selecting paintbrushes, running your finger over the one that has your name engraved into the handle though it's chipped away it's still a bit visible, smiling to yourself.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

"I didn't know what to get you for your birthday.. but I know you love painting. so here." Your older sister passes you a box, the lid tied on with a pink ribbon. In anticipation, you quickly undo the bow, gasping in awe as you take out the present.

"Wooow thank you Mira! it's beautiful!" you turn the brush, seeing your name engraved in italics into it.

The wood was pink and the brush had soft gold metal casing securing the soft white bristles, which were perfect for picking up paint onto the paintbrush.

"It's really nothing special.." Mira purses her lip at your reaction, not too sure as to why you're acting like you got a puppy.

"Yeah but it's so thoughtful, i love that." you reply, hugging her as she hugs you back, smiling warmly. "Thank you."

"well I'm glad you like it kid."

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

"we'll reveal our paintings at the same time." Kugisaki instructs, already drawing onto her canvas.

"Sounds good to me!" "okay.""alright!"

"Y/N who are you starting on?" Yuji tries to sneak a peak at yours but you pull your work away, hiding it.

"You, now stop tryna take a look!!"

"Wow i feel honoured!" "i'm actually starting on you too!" he grins, starting to rotate his work round to show you, but a flying paintbrush to his head interrupts him.

"ARE YOU DEAF OR DUMB? I SAID WE'LL REVEAL OUR PAINTINGS AT THE SAME TIME. WE'VE JUST STARTED." Nobara yaps, pointing her finger at him.

"OW THAT HURT." Yuji takes a pile of blue paint onto his brush, slapping it onto Nobaras work causing her to gasp, as she does the same to him but with green.

"YOU RUINED IT!"

"YOU DID IT FIRST!"

"NOT THAT BAD!"

"you guys are wasting L/Ns paint." Megumi interrupts, not looking up at the two as he cautiously drags a pencil down his canvas, trying not to mess up, Y/N smiles as she notices his efforts.

When they first met and they were the only two first years, they used to argue and fight nearly every day but given time (and encouragement by Gojo), they began to grow closer, he considers her to be his closest friend, the same applies to her.

"It's fine honestly, Gojo said he'd buy me more at some point. Also Megumi, I told you to call me by my first name." you flick a bit of water at him, as he wipes it off his face, flicking some at you.

Some time passes and you all finish one by one.

"Alright, show your paintings of me first!" Nobara leans forward, crossing her legs as you're all now sat in a circle on the floor.

Her jaw drops, it nearly smacking the floor at Yujis version, he drew her as the curse you guys saw back on your first mission, the missing eye and one arm extremely bigger than the other.

"That was four months ago. Let. It. go." she karate chops Yujis head and he groans in pain, rubbing the center of it, muttering under his breath in anger.

After looking at them all, it was Megumis turn, then yours and finally Yujis.

Kugisaki shows hers first, it had the paint splattered on it from their paint fight, which made you laugh that he wrecked his own portrait. When Megumi started painting Yuji, he gave up, just drawing a stick figure with pink hair. You showed him yours and he adored it, you drew him in the middle of a fight and he was showing it off to Megumi and Nobara, saying it makes him look "badass".

"If you love it so much why don't you take that vulgar poster down and replace it with that?" Nobara points to the poster on the wall that gives you PTSD from when you were helping him unpack.

"Nuh-uh, not my queen Jennifer Lawrence." he squints his eyes in distaste at Nobara who sticks her tongue out at him in retaliation and he does the same, you and Megumi roll your eyes.

They act like little kids bickering all the time.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

It's 3:25am, everyone's finally fell asleep after the movie marathon you all had, from watching the whole twilight series (which Yuji complained about, saying it was cringe however Megumi was secretly invested).except from one.Y/N quietly rests her phone up ontop of her bag, balancing it and turning her torch on, making sure the light isn't going to wake anyone up before pulling aside one of the spare canvases she brought, beginning to sketch onto it.

"Can't sleep?" Megumi whispers, wiping his eye and squinting at Y/N.

"Nah, sorry did i wake you?"

"No, i was planning on heading back to my own dorm. Don't wanna have to deal with these two in the morning."

"understandable." you quietly chuckle, he gets up, slowly trying to move towards the door to exit, holding his pillow under his arm, nearly tripping over a bag and you literally have to squeeze your mouth shut to stop yourself from wheezing.

"you gonna be okay? I can stay with you until you fall asleep if you want." he mutters really quiet but loud enough for you to hear.

"I'll be okay. Thanks Megumi, i really appreciate you."

He doesn't say anything, waiting for a second before leaving the room. "Goodnight Y/N."

"Night Megumi."

After a while you grow bored of drawing, as quietly as possible you put everything away and turn off the flash on your phone, covering yourself with blanket trying to go to sleep. No matter how many times you tossed and turned, you just couldn't, it was frustrating.

"Y/N?? Are you awake?" Yuji groggily whispers as you hear him rustle in his bed.

"Mhm, I can't go to sleep. Why are you awake?" you reply, mentally scolding yourself because all your shuffling probably woke up him.

"I just randomly woke up." he answers, sliding off his bed to sit next to you, bringing his legs to his chest. "how come you can't sleep?"

"Insomnia."

He hums as a reply, before lying down next to you, his hands behind his head.

"what are you doing?"

"I'll lie with you until you fall asleep."

"I could literally be up all night." you deadpan and you suddenly feel him take your hand, as he draws circles in your palm and then gently draws his hand up your inner arm, the action took you by surprise at first but it shockingly worked, relaxing you making you feel tired.

Y/N felt herself beginning to fall into slumber, her eyes growing heavy as they begin to close.

Finally, the girl was asleep.After making sure you weren't going to wake up, Yuji carefully climbs back into his own bed, that small interaction replaying in his head over and over.
