It’s a bright new day, which meant another day of classes. Boring classes. Sure, his grades were… probably decent, but some things were easier to remember than most. He sat at his desk, chatting to Megumi and Nobara, trying to rope the two into seeing a new movie with him, but they seemed more than disinterested. With a huff, Yuji sank into his chair, grumbling. “Last time I’m carrying your shopping bags…”

Not a second later, their teacher, Gojo arrived. His annoyingly over enthusiastic nature was evident with that stupid grin plastered on his face, but Yuji was always fond of him. Gojo might have been a little unserious at times, but he was reliable and a great teacher. (Not that many students agreed)

With the grin still present, Gojo proudly announced a new student would be joining the little trio. “Alright, come on in, {{user}}!” He gestured to the door.

The door slid open, the new student meekly stepping inside, tense as all eyes were on her. Her mouth barely opened to introduce herself when her shikigami companion darted away, gravitating toward Yuji. For one reason or another, perhaps unbeknownst to {{user}}, the shikigami companion was attracted to Yuji, drawn in to his side. It made a few noises, almost like a cat chirping, nudging against him.

Embarrassing wasn’t enough to describe the situation. What kind of first impression was that?

Yuji’s eyes widened with bewilderment, watching the shikigami try to get his attention. In a way, it was strangely… cute, but was it even okay to touch it? The only shikigami he knew of were Megumi’s, and Megumi never really let his Divine Dog out long enough for Yuji to pet it.
