in my defense, this gave me brain worms.

The smell of burning plastic made Yuuji scrunch his nose. A moment later it reached Hanami, who'd been plating bushes around the paths, and the curse instantly dropped the soil bag it was holding.

It looked around and pinpointed the source of the smell. Then took off towards it. Yuuji followed, afraid there would be trouble. Others though so too, Chousou followed him obviously, but Uraume also came.

"Which one of you fools set fire to the trash!?" Projected directly into Yuuji's brain, oh how he hates that feeling. Hanami, though eyeless, was staring down Jougo and Sukuna.

Yuuji realised that the two of them, plus Kenjaku and Mahito had gone to load the trash bags onto the van. They'd gone at least an hour ago, considering how much Yuuji's playlist'd moved since then.

They didn't even reach the van, the bags were lying right there, now soaking wet because Dagon put them out.

"Do you not comprehend how disastrous it is for the environment?" Hanami was fuming.

Sukuna was smiling wickedly, one of his eyes was glancing ad Jougo. The volcano head was sweating.

"Me, it was me," he said.

Hanami turned on their heel and left, the "how could you" remained unspoken but painfully clear. Dagon went after the nature curse to sooth them.

"See what you did Jougo?" Mahito poked fun at the other curse who looked surprisingly affected.

"My, my, Mahito, that set back his prospects considerably." Kenjaku's voice was amused, they were not feeling bad about this whole thing in the slightest.

Yuuji's own mother! He felt ashamed.

"How can you be like this!?" He yelled looking at Kenjaku but when he heard Sukuna snicker he moved his accusatory gaze from Sukuna to Mahito, back to Kenjaku.

"Because it's fun, brat."

"Isn't he your friend?!"

"So?" Mahito shrugged.

"I don't have friends," Sukuna said but corrected himself quickly. "Apart from Uraume because they understand how jokes work."

Indeed, Uraume looked amused by the whole thing.

"These are my associates." Kenjaku went for a casual tone but the stink eye they gave Sukuna and Uraume told Yuuji that his mother wished it was something more. "I have only one friend, your step dad, son."

"Unbelievable, you're all absolutely awful!" Yuuji was shaking, he knew they were all villains but to this extent? He felt Chousou's hand on his shoulder.

"Quit your pathetic whining, brat." Sukuna said. "Why are you even here? You were judged innocent."

"I..." Yuuji came with Chousou. It didn't feel right to him that his brother got community service and he didn't.

Mahito and Sukuna started laughing while Jougo snuck away to try to apologise to Hanami.

"I think it's impressive how much of the fence you've already painted, I'm curious to see you develop." Kenjaku said.
