God, Yuji couldn’t remember the last time his heart was racing so fast. It must’ve been adrenaline he was feeling because the only thing that’s come close is when his life is in danger on a mission and his body’s running on pure impulse.

He’s sitting there on the ground next to the coffee table with everyone else— Megumi, Nobara, Maki, Inumaki, Panda, Yuta, you— lounging around the common room. Everyone was laughing at his jokes, even Maki cracked a smile, and it wasn’t smug! He was giggling after everyone laughed continuously. Almost as if he was shocked anyone was even laughing.

Though, if you paid attention you would notice how he’d look at you like you were his only audience. How he was telling you the joke. How he looked only for your reaction. How he’d smile real wide once he heard you laugh.

Lord, Yuji was smitten with you and he couldn’t help it. You were just so pretty. He never stood a chance. “What? I’m serious guys! It really did happen! I swear!”
