???????? | Just Trying to Make it to Dinner

Itadori agreed with Fushiguro. Y/N admired her friends' kind hearts as she watched them convince Gojo to go get a watering can and some bird seed while they took care of the curse. After their teacher's reluctant yes, the trio began their search for the curse.

It wasn't difficult to find at all. Out of all the cursed spirits Y/N had seen, this one had to be the saddest-looking one. It was a large, semi-mobile blob that oozed around the floor of the house moaning about its loneliness.

The exorcism took no time at all, but Fushiguro and Y/N stepped back to allow Itadori to give it a "proper death" as he deemed. In one peaceful strike, the curse was gone. The pink-haired boy ran outside to go retrieve the gardening supplies at the sound of the car engine approaching.

Y/N walked after him but Fushiguro grabbed her wrist.

"Wait, Y/N."

She turned around to see what was wrong. Y/N half expected there to be a catch to the easy assignment that Fushiguro had found, but instead she saw a very embarrassed Megumi. His cheeks were flushed and he could barely make eye contact without glancing away.

"Is something wrong?" Y/N worried he was sick from his appearance.

"No, I just have a question for you..."

"Oh?"

"This is such a non-romantic place to do this, but after everything that's happened in the past two months I don't want to wait anymore."

"Megumi?"

"Y/N, I care about you. A lot. Like more than anyone I've met."

"I care about you too, Megumi-"

"Would you like to go to dinner with me tonight?"

Y/N froze. Here she was, standing in the middle of a stranger's house, and the boy who had been giving her butterflies since the day she met him was asking her to go to a nice dinner with him.

Fushiguro opened his mouth to say something but Y/N didn't give him a chance to try and say whatever anxious statement he was about to make.

"Absolutely!"

Relief washed over Megumi and Y/N was about to melt from how happy she was. They both stood together in the house for another moment before Itadori's yell from outside interrupted them.

"Guys! Come help me with this garden!"

Y/N took one last look at Fushiguro before responding to their classmate.

"We're on the way! Just making sure we didn't miss anything!"

She turned back to the boy in front of her.

"So, 8pm tonight? Dinner?"

"Dinner in Tokyo," he confirmed, "I'll send you the address."

They got back to Jujutsu High in the early evening, which gave Y/N close to two hours to get ready for her dinner. She found a nice dress that wasn't too formal but also wasn't too casual. After a few unsatisfactory attempts at makeup for the night, she recruited Kugisaki to help her.

The girls spent a while deciding on what lipstick and pair of shoes to wear. Time flew by and soon Y/N was rushing out the door. Her phone buzzed as she finished the final touches on her hair.

Megumi: I know I'm here early, but I wanted to lyk I got us a table

Y/N: Thanks! I'm leaving soon
