OMG!! thats honestly so true. as much as i love akira, theres so much of him and so little of everyone else, so im rlly happy to get another ryuji request :)

It started small. The feeling, that was. The burning and fury in Ryuji’s heart when he saw it. You were fairly popular im school. Just weeks after Kamoshida had been taken into custody, you transferred into Shujin.

You were a masterpiece to the students there. You were a star athlete, and had come to Shujin to share your skills with them. It was easy to say Ryuji had fallen head over heels.. And he always wondered why you picked him over the countless suitors that approached you.

A part of him now, reasoned with himself. Of course someone in Shujin would be approaching you regardless of your relationship status. They had the gull, a cocky attitude that they were much better than Ryuji would be.

So it took a lot from him not to storm over, and give the person a piece of his mind. Every time it happened, he sat and watched quietly as you rejected them and moved on with your day.

If you were so nonchalant, then maybe he was overreacting? Right?

A sudden grasp on his hand knocked him out of his minute-long trance, causing Ryuji to look over and meet your gaze.

“Sorry, babe. You know some people get.” You sighed slumping slightly, drained from the interaction prior.

“It’s alright.” Ryuji replied shortly. He wanted to day more, but he was lost in the frustration his overthinking had gotten him.

“Yeah? How was your day today? I heard you and Akira got pretty heated trying to see who can do the most pull-ups.” You hummed, cracking a grin as you peaked over at him.

“Ah.. Yeah. My arms are still kinda sore.” He admitted meekly, bringing his free hand to rub at the nape of his neck.

What he didn’t notice, was that his hand stayed longer to tug at the small peak of hair down the back of his neck. Your brows furrowed, and you came to a stop.

Ryuji stumbled slightly, small smile dropping when he turned to face you. “You okay?”

“Are you?” You retorted, raising one brow now to challenge him.

“What’s that suppose to mean? I’m fine, [Name]—“ He started, but faltered when he saw your stern expression.

Ryuji let out a huff of air, dropping his arms in defeat. You knew him too well, so there was no getting out of this.

“C’mon Yuji, talk to me. That’s what I’m here for. I love you too much to let you suffer alone.” You sighed, giving him a small smile.

His face flushed as your hands clasped both of his and intertwined them. He looked away shyly, before letting out a shuddering breath.

“Just… It’s.. Ya know when.. People approach you— And it’s like..” He raised his head to the sky in defeat, inhaling deeply to try and qualm his racing thoughts and figure out what to say.

“It’s just.. When people kinda flirt with you? I know that y’know.. You’re with me, and I know theres nothin’ to change that when they do that..” He started, looking down at his sneakers.

“I just.. I get all mad n’stuff. My heart races, and my thoughts get all jumbled, and I just wanna run over and swoop you away. I mean it’s obvious you don’t like it, and that you’re taken so why don’t they notice that—“

You cut his ranting off with a giggle, causing him to perk up in alarm. He looked at you in shock, causing you to cover your growing smile im embarrassment.

“Oh.. Oh my gosh.” You laughed, releasing his hands.

“W-What?!” Ryuji stumbled, afraid of what your laughter meant.

“Oh, you’re jealous.” You breathed out, wearing an adoring grin.

“J-Jealous? No I trust ya! And I know you won’t—“

“Ryuji, it’s okay.” You laughed, cupping his cheeks so he could look at you.

“Jealousy.. Doesn’t always mean distrust. Sometimes it’s natural, like when a friend gets a new car and you get a hand me down.” You explained, pressing your nose to his.

“That’s.. A weird way to put it, babe.” Ryuji admitted with a breathy laugh.

“My point still stands. It’s okay to be jealous. I get that way, too. But what matters is that no matter what, we can talk about it and it’ll never change us.” You chirped, pressing a kiss to his lips.

Ryuji smiled slightly, pressing back before you pulled away. He looked absolutely smitten, pulling you to his chest quickly.

“How lucky am I to get someone like you, huh?”

“Just as lucky as I am to have you, Ryuji.” You replied, lifting your head from his shirt.

He smirked and pressed a load of kisses to your face, causing you to laugh and squirm in a fit of joy. As he tugged away, you leaned into his side and took his hand again to walk.

“I love you so much.” Ryuji sighed blissfully.

“I love you.” You replied happily.

A few beats of silence passed, before you saw Ryuji crack a grin and lean over.

“So what was that earlier about you getting jealous too..?”

“It was one time, and nothing as bad as you seem to be.” You teased, cheeks flushing in embarrassment.

“Now let’s get home, it’s cold out here.” You admitted, rubbing your arms with a chill.

“I second that. Let’s get ya home, babe!”

With that Ryuji pulled your forwards, holding you closer before if it were even possible. He was incredibly lucky to have you by his side, and he was going to make sure you knew that. Each and every day.
