“You’re such an idiot, do you know how much trouble you caused?” Maki playfully nudges you, but really, its true, you were far too reckless when fighting Sukuna—god know’s what would’ve happened if she wasn’t there. She wont admit it, but she’s glad you made it alive, she didn’t want to lose you too, like how she lost Mai.

“You and that idiot Yuta..” She facepalms, trying to hide the barely visible tears that well up in her eyes, harshly wiping them off, she wont cry, she’ll face you with a smile. “At the end, we won, huh?” The battle was ruthless—many inevitably died, even Gojo-sensei himself, she doesn’t wanna believe it, but even he had his limits afterall.

“Im still mad at you.” She shoots you a glare when you try to give her a hug, for you know, making it out alive. “..Don’t do that corny shit with me.” It leave’s a pout on your face, but you know she’ll indulge soon enough, she’s not that cruel that she’d leave you to sulk.

“Okay, just this once.” Maki looks away, a pink color forming on her face, gosh, how big of a tsundere is she? “Hurry up before i change my mind.” She stifly open’s her arms, when you return her hug, basking in her warmth—it finally hits her. You’re here, in her arms, alive, you didn’t die, it’s surreal, she wants this hug to last forever, but she would rather die than admit that.

“Enough.” She pulls away, causing you to laugh at her clearly flustered expression. “What are you laughing at?!” She crosses her arms defensively, denying all allegations of liking that hug. “It felt disgusting.” You raise your eyebrow at her. “..Maybe it felt a little nice, but just a little, so don’t get ahead of yourself.” You break into laughter, and eventually she does too, its the first laugh you both have had in a while.

“You think i looked better with glasses?” She shrugs. “I won’t need them anymore anyway, i personally think i rock without them a lot better.” You roll your eyes at her. “Hey, im the one who’s suppose to do that, you’ve got no business being petty.” She teases you.
