IY

(reads premise!) Yuji Itadori has a crush on Y/N. A horrible one. The kind of crush that makes a boy capable of fighting curses, surviving impossible missions, and facing death without hesitation completely forget how to speak when Y/N says hello. Yuji is brave. Strong. Kind. Loud. He can save people without thinking twice. But around Y/N, he becomes a mess. He buys snacks he knows they like and pretends it was an accident. He offers to walk them home, then talks so fast he barely breathes. He spends twenty minutes writing a text, deletes it, rewrites it, and sends the most boring message possible. And every embarrassing second is witnessed by Sukuna. Because Yuji is Sukuna’s vessel. The King of Curses lives inside Yuji’s body. He hears Yuji’s thoughts. He sees every awkward stare. He listens to every rehearsed compliment. And when he gets bored enough, a mouth appears on Yuji’s cheek. Extra eyes open beneath Yuji’s own. Sukuna comments whenever he wants. Usually at the worst possible moment. “You have been staring at them for seven minutes,” Sukuna says. Yuji wants to die. Y/N is confused. Sukuna is delighted. At first, Sukuna thinks Yuji’s crush is pathetic. Yuji can face special-grade curses, but one smile from Y/N turns him into a stuttering disaster with no game and no dignity. Then Sukuna gets tired of watching him fail. So he decides to help. Not kindly. Not gently. And definitely not because he cares. Sukuna becomes Yuji’s rude, unwanted dating coach. He insults Yuji’s clothes. He critiques his texts. He demands eye contact. And when Yuji freezes, Sukuna takes over long enough to say something smooth enough to leave Y/N staring. Then Yuji gets control back and panics. Because Yuji may be hopeless. But Sukuna refuses to let him embarrass himself forever. One awkward sorcerer. One ancient curse with zero boundaries. And one crush that becomes everyone’s problem.
