and, as any respectful, well-mannered human being would, they used their powers to suck you out of yuji’s grasp and shoot him in the face.

yuji startled awake, but the shadows had formed a comfortable cocoon around you, maintaining your peaceful sleep.

“what the f—“

“you!” nobara shouted, cheeks red with rage as she shoved a finger into his lightly scorched chest. “you dirty, disgusting little boy!”

yuji blinked. “whaaa—“

“how could you take advantage of our precious new 1st grade! she’s been here less than a week!”

it took a moment for the accusation to click in yuji’s sweet little mind, but once it did, his face flushed and jaw hit the floor to release a startled and, frankly, hurt, “huh?!”

in the shadow bubble, you buried your face in one of the divine dog’s fur (because at some point, it found itself trapped and smiling in your warm embrace), dead to the world.

“i would never!” yuji cried, tossing a hand to his pained chest at the accusation.

nobara shoved her fists against her hips. “there’s no one that girl naturally developed feelings for you in, what, the four days she’s been here?!”

yuji rubbed his face. on one hand, he promised you he wouldn’t tell anyone about your relationship until after you proved yourself to the other students. on the other hand, this was about as bad as it could get.

slowly, yuji dropped his arms and said, defeatedly, “we’ve been dating for five years…”

immediately, the color drained from both nobara and megumi’s faces.

“it’s…”

“you…”

“it’s like that?!”

“impossible… these must be lies…”

he tuned out their baseless rambles in favor of reaching into the shadow bubble and collecting your sleeping form in his arms. even in your sleep, you reached out for him, nuzzling your cheek into his chest.

yuji smiled at you, though his words were directed toward his friends. “sorry to burst your bubble—“

“never speak again.”

“—but she’s the one for me! i’d appreciate it if we kept this a secret, for now. she likes sneaking around. says it makes her feel like kim possible.”

it was nobara’s turn to sigh. she thumped a fist against megumi’s shoulder, signaling their exit. “i’m still not convinced someone like you found a girlfriend before i did, so if i find out your lying…”

yuji frowned. “someone like me..?”

“goodbye.”

megumi caught the door nobara shoved to prevent it from slamming and waking you up. he shot a quick, apathetic thumbs up to yuji before shaking his head as if to ask “what the hell was that?” and carefully pulled the door shut.

yuji tucked you back into bed, where you woke not long after giggling about how mysterious you both were for not getting caught.

he simply smiled into the kiss he placed atop your head.
