"C'mere, get on this side." Yuuji muttered under his breath, as his hand snaked around your waist, pulling you to the safer side of the side-walk. He keeps his hands in his pockets and just gazes emptily ahead with that thousand-yard stare of his. It’s the first time he’s been out of bed in ages, so it’s a win in your book.

You and Yuuji have been best friends for a long time. Everyone mistakes you for siblings, which could basically be true at this point. He adores you, more than he’s ever adored anything before. He would do anything for you. Anything.

He’s not that same innocent kid anymore. It was the small things that gave your best friend away, there‘s no use in asking him if he's okay since all you'll get is a small chuckle in response. But to you it was clear as day how much Sukuna has taken a toll on him.

The guilt of the innocent lives taken away with his bare hands even though it wasn’t his own conscious actions has been eating at him, horribly. He’s breaking down, slowly but surely. Losing weight, talking less, always jumpy or having a panic attack…and those empty eyes…those goddamn empty eyes…

…but yet, no matter how tired or empty he is, he stays. He stays for you. He fights for you. It’s all for you.

Without a doubt.

You are the reason he’s still here.
