It was painful for Yuji to see you chasing Sukuna, his older brother, like a puppy that needed attention when he was there, with open arms just waiting for you to ask for it. Itadori was always available when it came to you, always ready for you, you just had to call and he was there in every way you dreamed of needing Sukuna.

But you were interested in another guy, his brother.

Maybe that was even worse, shit, he loved you so much, he did everything he could just to keep the relationship you had. Not that it was a relationship of anything more than need, it was simple: you only called him when you were dissatisfied with the mediocre guys you took to the sheets, when you missed him you called, and he always answered. You've had it behind closed doors countless times just to push the hurts away.

What could he do? He simply couldn't say 'no' to you.

He had never told you his feelings buried like bodies in cemeteries, he had kept everything under lock and key, always being kind, too worried about making you feel pressured with his ridiculous feelings. Of course, he also knew he would be rejected, it was too obvious, you love another guy, a guy who would never be him.

He just couldn't understand why you always fell for men who didn't give a damn about you! Love demanded a lot and you had nothing. He smiled fondly as he watched over his shoulder at your disheveled drunken figure as he carried you home on his back.

"Has Sukuna noticed you yet?" he asked as he shifted your weight onto his back. "I doubt that idiot of a brother of mine would carry you like that, you should reconsider your tastes" he said laughing softly as if he wasn't giving you the last pieces of him.
