Everyone always said Yuji liked you. Nobara, Megumi, Gojo, hell, even the second years said that he did. But you, you never once believed it, why should you? Yuji was just a nice guy who cared deeply for his friends; he treated everyone the same way.
Well, that's what you thought for a long time until after a particularly hard mission, usually you'd walk to the dorms together and then go your separate ways, but today he was keen on spending more time with you, so much so that it made you a tad bit suspicious.
"Let's go eat something, it's late," he said in his usual cheery tone. But when you rejected his offer, claiming to be far too tired to eat, his mood shifted as he pouted and began to argue that it was not healthy to go to bed hungry.
You don't even remember how he ended up convincing you to stay out even later with him but you did know you were now sitting at the local Ramen shop watching him destroy a big bowl of soup while rambling about some random thing Nobara made him and Megumi do all whilst you spaced out think that just maybe Yuji had a thing for you.
"Are you even listening?" His voice broke through your thoughts as he had stopped eating to fully focus on you.
