Warnings : Trauma talk, cuddling, spooning, and forehead kisses. Still in fluff category peeps!

Walking back inside my empty house, I dropped my bag on the floor and sat down after closing the door. Yuji and Nanami had gone for their basketball training, Gojo and Geto were going out of town for some work, Nobara and Shoko too... Were not here today.

And I... I was left alone, again. No! Don't do this now Y/n. You are strong and healthy person, you cannot just crumble like that. You cannot be a worry for them. They have their own lives too! I sighed heavily as I slumped on the floor and closed my eyes.

After what felt like a long time, the doorbell rang taking my attention,

Brrrrrringgg...

I stood up from the front door and dusted my clothes and opened the door without looking through the peephole. And there he was, standing outside my house, waiting for me... Toji Fushiguro.

He was standing outside my door with a bag in his hand. He was decked out in proper formals. Complete with a long black coat and a pair of very expensive glasses. I don't even know how expensive they must be. He took the glasses off and smiled widely at me,

"Good evening, Y/n..."

I looked up at his sunglasses clad face and smiled softly. Remembering what he had done for me in the morning. I opened the door wide and let him in. He walked in, looking around the room. And his eyes landed on my bag, lying near the door.

He picked it up, and placed it on the couch. Then he placed the bag which he had in his hand, on the dining table and then took off his cost and glasses. His Viridescent eyes darted towards me as he took long strides and reached me.

I subconsciously stepped a bit back as he approached me. But after seeing me walk back he too halted in his steps and looked at me with concern. Was he afraid to approach me?

This time I walked closer to him and held his large calloused hand in mine. Giving it an assuring squeeze I hugged his giant frame. I hugged his well-built torso as I was quite smaller than him.

And as if he had a habit, he hugged me back with an even tighter hug. Engulfing me in a warm and comfortable embrace. My feet got lifted off the ground as Toji lifted me up in the hug.

His hands now wrapped around my lower waist as my arms were now around his neck. He was taking ragged and shallow breaths. Is he okay? I immediately let his neck go and looked at his red face.

"Toji? You okay?"

He looked at me, while blushing and took a deep breath and spoke,

"Yeah... My heart just acted up a bit..."

I nodded at him as he set me down on the ground and let my body go. The warmth I had felt a moment ago went missing. And I wanted it back, so I tugged his shirt to get his attention,

"Can you hug me again?"

Toji held me in a tight, comforting embrace as if he never wanted to let go. After a while, he loosened his grip and suggested,

"Let's have some food, Y/n. You need to eat."

I nodded and led him to the kitchen. We ate the takeout Toji had bought together, the quiet hum of the house amplifying the intimacy of the moment. Sitting down at the table, we ate in silence, the events of the day still hanging heavily in the air. Once we finished, Toji looked at me with a mix of curiosity and concern.

"Y/n, can you tell me about Sukuna? I want to understand what happened."

I felt my heart rate spike, anxiety creeping up my spine. The memories of Sukuna's death were too painful, too raw. I clenched my fists, my body tensing up as I struggled to form words. Seeing my distress, Toji reached across the table and took my hand in his. His grip firm yet gentle.

"It's okay, Y/n. You don't have to talk about it if you're not ready."

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I shook my head, trying to push the memories away. Toji stood up and came around the table, pulling me into another warm embrace.

"Let's go somewhere more comfortable,"

He whispered to me. He led me to my room, and we lay down on the bed, facing each other. Toji wrapped his strong arms around me, his presence grounding me in the moment.

The warmth of his body against mine was comforting, and I felt a sense of security that I hadn't felt in a long time. As we cuddled, Toji gently stroked my hair, his touch soothing my frazzled nerves.

"You're safe here, Y/n. You don't have to be afraid."

I took a deep breath, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat lulling me into a sense of calm. Slowly, I began to relax, my body melting into his embrace. In a half-asleep state, I murmured,

"I can feel Sukuna's warmth through you, Toji... Your actions, your heartbeat... it feels like he's still here."

Toji tensed slightly, absorbing my words. He pressed a soft kiss to my forehead, his lips lingering for a moment.

"I'm here for you, Y/n. Whatever you need, I'll be here."

I nodded, my eyes closing as exhaustion finally overtook me. Toji held me close, his presence a steady anchor in the storm of my emotions. As I drifted off to sleep, I felt a strange sense of peace, knowing that with Toji by my side, I wasn't alone in facing the darkness of my past.

I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling disoriented. The room was dark and quiet, but the warmth enveloping me was unmistakable. Toji was still beside me, holding me tightly, his arms wrapped securely around my body. His steady breathing was a comforting rhythm in the stillness.

I lay there for a moment, confusion washing over me. Why did I feel such a strong pull towards this man I had only met a few months ago? It didn't make sense. My heart ached with a mixture of emotions, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something deeper at play.

I carefully turned in his arms to look at him. Even in his sleep, Toji's presence was protective and reassuring. His face was relaxed, a stark contrast to the intensity he often displayed while awake. I traced the lines of his face with my eyes, feeling a strange sense of familiarity and comfort.

As I lay there, memories of Sukuna surfaced, mingling with my thoughts of Toji. The connection I felt with Toji was undeniably strong, but it was different from what I had felt with Sukuna. It was as if my heart recognized something in Toji that my mind couldn't fully grasp.

I sighed softly, trying to make sense of my tangled emotions. Toji shifted slightly, his grip on me tightening as if sensing my inner turmoil even in his sleep. His protective embrace made me feel safe, but it also deepened my confusion.

Why did I feel such a strong bond with Toji? Was it because of the heart he now carried, or was it something more? The questions swirled in my mind, but I had no answers. All I knew was that being close to him brought me a sense of peace that I hadn't felt in a long time.

I rested my head against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. It was a sound that had become both familiar and comforting. Despite my confusion, I couldn't deny the sense of rightness that settled over me when I was with him.
