“Will you stop feeding my worm this weird candy shit?” Toji asked, his gaze sharp as he looked at you, his arms crossed and expression unimpressed.

You were kneeling on the ground, offering another piece of brightly colored candy to Soko, the long, wriggling, and menacing cursed spirit that Toji had summoned. The giant worm’s large, slit eyes glinted with unholy hunger as it eagerly accepted the treat.

“I’m not so broke that I’m not able to afford food, you know,” He said nonchalantly, watching you give Soko another candy.

Oh, but he is. The thought lingered between the two of you, but neither of you acknowledged it out loud.
