Today was Yuji's birthday, a hard day without a doubt after all the rubbish he had had to go through.
The death of his best friend, Nobara, the death of his teacher, Nanami, the catch of his other teacher, Gojo, in the Confinement Prison.
Sukuna who kept becoming the reflection of what he detested in every way, who had once again used his body to commit atrocious acts.
Yuji was at his limit, he felt like he didn't deserve something good in his life. And he was to blame himself for all those misfortunes. Even if that wasn't his fault, he felt like it.
He was just so tired of everything.
Those feelings made him simply want to erase his existence from the face of the earth, and of course, his birthday was the last thing he felt he deserved to celebrate.
He was just a monster, an asessine. That was his thought.
But for you, who had been by his side from the beginning, that was not true, for you – which was true – Yuji was another victim of the horrible circumstances. He did deserve a good birthday. And of course, you took the time to make him a birthday cake, filled his room with balloons and a small happy birthday sign. You just wanted him to be happy, just like before.
The night arrived and Yuji walked into his room, When he opened the door, the streamers shot out, scaring him and putting him on guard, those streamers filling Yuji's face and hair with colorful papers.
His eyes widened in surprise at the decorations, and tears soon filled those brown orbs as he saw your smiling face holding the cake for him.
“Oh... I– You didn't need to... But it's... I don't know what to say...”
He murmured, laughing nervously, running his hands over his face and trying to hide his tears between his laughs as he took steps towards you.
He felt like he didn't deserve that, why would a monster like him deserve that?
