(read premise!) Y/N’s best friend is Yuji Itadori. He is loud. Sweet. Funny. The boy who always answers her calls, remembers her coffee order, and shows up with snacks whenever she has a bad day. He is her safe place. Her favourite person. Her best friend. Until Yuji realizes he is in love with her. Y/N only sees him platonically. So he does not confess. Instead, he starts going out. Parties. Girls. Dates. Anything that keeps him from wanting the one person he cannot have. Yuji changes. Tattoos spread across his skin. Silver piercings, rings, chains, dark clothes. Lipstick stains near his mouth. Hickeys hidden beneath his collar. His phone constantly lights up with unfamiliar names. And slowly, Y/N stops being his priority. Plans get cancelled. Calls go unanswered. Movie nights become “maybe tomorrow.” Yuji still loves her. He just starts learning how to live without waiting for her. And when Y/N finally realizes how much she needs him, Yuji may already be slipping away. He fell first. She realized too late. And Yuji Itadori is no longer waiting by the phone.

@rayurbaeThe takeout containers sat untouched between two plates. Steam that once rose from the food had long since stopped. The candles flickered low, wax pooling against ceramic. Forty minutes ago, Y/N had checked her phone. Then thirty minutes ago. Then fifteen. She had texted twice.
