[M/N][L/N]
"(M/N), we have a problem" Ieiri said.
"When do we not? What's wrong?" I sighed
"There's a cursed child" Ieiri began her statement.
"And?" I raised a brow.
"Apparently it can cause bad luck from it's cursed ability if exposed long enough. Don't worry it doesn't last that long but some if the reactions can be delayed. The child will die in a day from now anyways. Nanami got the curse" Ieiri explained.
Eventually, this finally lead her to saying why she told me about this which was because she wanted me to take care of the curse since I might be decent at it. Sighing, I muttered how I wouldn't be a good parent but it was too late when I heard a knock on the door and Nanami walked in with the children in hands. I was somewhat shocked to see there wasn't one but two children. I glanced to my left and even Ieiri wasn't expecting it since her eyes were wide and her eyebrows were raised. Turns out, these two curses worked together.
One was very angry and stomping their foot while the other was holding their shirt, crying and snot was all over their face. Sighing, I picked both of them up and immediately the angry one started kicking me while the other started crying into my shirt. Nodding my head, I took my leave while the curse was screaming at me, calling me scary titan, resting bitch face, unhappy, meanie and the list goes on for insults as I took them to my garden while the other let out loud wails that hurt my ears. These two were a lot to handle.
"Meow" Neko tilted his head.
"It's alright Neko, don't eat them" I mumbled.
"Eat?! You're feeding us to your demon, you sicko!" The aggressive curse hit me.
"Oi, don't say that about Neko, he wants to be a cat, let him" I chastised.
"Pffttt, eww resting bitch face doesn't even get angry. What are you a psycho?" The aggressive one sneered.
"Nee-chan w-we shouldn't be so mean" The other cried.
The kicks were pretty harmless and I got used to the crying quickly. I never had the urge to hit them if they got too loud and I learnt to deal with it. They're just children who weren't used to the strange environment. Quietly, I continued to the garden before carefully opening and closing the gate behind me so I could put the kids down. I plucked some apples, pears, bananas and oranges which I washed before putting in a basket for them. I took off my jacket leaving me just in my white tee shirt.
I used a rake and pushed it into the ground so the stick would hold upright before placing my jacket over top it and the fence, giving the kids some shade. I didn't want to make them uncomfortable so I left to continue gardening. I was minding my own business until the angry curse which was now much more quiet came up to me, kicking my leg. I bent down and picked them up before asking what was wrong. Both of them wanted to join in too so I nodded and brought out the smaller tools. I instructed them as best as I could and they nodded before I let them get to work.
However, taking care of two children isn't easy especially when one accidentally hits the other and the other takes it as an opportunity to fight back, throwing the tools at each other the moment I turned my back. Sighing, I heard loud crying from the both of them and saw purple blood coming from both their wounds. Simply, I picked them both up and took them under the little shade I made earlier before using the reversed technique on them. One was sobbing about the nee-chan beating him up and the other was huffing angrily at the sibling.
"I hate you swo much, Aoi!" The curse screamed.
"I-I don't hate you, Ai" Aoi whimpered back.
"I-I still hate youu" Ai mumbled.
"Waaaaaaa!" Aoi cried as I winced from the volume.
"Here, have some more fruits, you two must be tired after fighting" I offered.
"T-Thank you..." Both of them said in sync before stopping and laughing at each other
"Jinx! You owe me a soda!" Aoi giggled.
"But I'm broke!" Ai yelled in frustration.
"I'll buy you both soda if you both are nice to each other? You two are the only people you both have left so cherish each other, you never know what could happen"
Both of them teared up before looking at each other and nodding, they both quickly munched down on the apples before jumping into my arms and apologising for being so mean. I feel backwards from the impact since I was sitting on the ground. Another sigh escaped my lips before I put them down and ruffled their heads, telling them we would go get lunch too. They were cheering as I went back to gardening for another hour. They started following me around like ducks. It was rather cute to see them holding each others hand.
"Ne ne, Okaa-san?" Aoi asked
"I'm not your mom, I'm not that old" I stated.
Both of them teared up and look to the ground disappointed.
"But we can compromise if you want-!" I was cut off.
"Onee-sama!" Both of them smiled.
"Fine I guess, it's better than being your mom. I'm really not that old.. Let's go, how about some Japanese barbecue?" I offered.
The two cheered and started dancing around me in circles before the younger one fell and started crying. How were they once special grade curses? I'll never know. Putting away my tools, we went to my room first to change and came across Fushiguro who stared at the two children using their hands to cling onto my pants as they followed behind me. I waved at him and told him that I was going out, asking if he wanted to join. He asked if it would be fine to which I nodded.
"Nee-sama? Why is the edgy depressed teen following us?" Ai asked with an angry pout.
"Why not? He's my friend, plus it's sometimes better to go with others" I pointed out.
"Hey, you edgy teen! Nee-sama is our brother! Stay away from him" Ai huffed crossing her arms with Aoi tearing up behind her. I was glad I got their genders.
"Don't mind them Fushiguro, they're just kids. We'll leave around twenty minutes from now?" I asked.
"Sure... sounds good" Fushiguro mumbled staring at the children.
"I'll invite Itadori too" I quickly said.
Going over and knocking on his door, I heard a yawn before I heard someone getting out of bed and opening the door from the shuffling. I offered the same thing which he immediately agreed too with a bright smile and I had to be careful to make sure the children didn't touch Itadori nor Fushiguro. I ushered the kids along and we went inside my room before I used the bathroom to shower and change. A casual black collared shirt and jeans. When I came out, I let them brush my hair before we left to a nearby restaurant.
The two children were very quiet as we walked but Ai wouldn't stop insulting Itadori and Fushiguro. Aoi couldn't help but cry when Fushiguro offered his hand, running to me and hiding behind my legs so eventually I just carried them both to avoid Ai from biting Itadori. At least they were listening to me, I couldn't help but sigh again. When we got the restaurant and sat down, the children insisted on sitting next to me which worked out since they would only come into contact with me.
"What do you two like to eat?" I asked.
"Humans of course!" Ai smiled as Aoi nodded
"Well we have meat here!" Itadori smiled
"Is that the same as humans though... do humans taste good?" I asked.
The two only stared at him before flinching away, clinging onto my shirt. I settled for beef and chicken which the two kids followed along. Itadori eagerly ordered wagyu steak and Fushiguro got chicken fried rice with ginger. I got the two soda as promised while I got myself water. Ai liked to ask random questions about the shops and the people. She was excited by the button that would call the waiter over while Aoi liked to talk about old traditional games he used to play which made me think that they've definitely been curses for a while.
When the food came, all of us started eating and I was content while Itadori asked if he could take a picture. I nodded before he pulled out his phone and unlocked it before aiming the camera at me, I just stopped eating but my cheeks were stuffed full and there was a piece of meat sticking out of my mouth. It seems though that Itadori was happy since he gushed over it with bright eyes full of life. Fushiguro leaned his head over to peer at Itadori's screen before asking for the photo too. Itadori quickly forwarded it on while I continued eating the meat.
The children fell asleep cutely holding hands with a peaceful look on their face after they ate so I picked them up and waited outside with Itadori. He offered to hold them but I reassured them that it was fine. They were clinging with the other hand to my shirt anyways very tightly so I guess they weren't coming off. I couldn't help but adore them slightly despite their attitude earlier today. I was watching them and the people passing by before Itadori nudged my side with a grin.
"I was thinking..." Itadori was cut off
"You can think?" I asked with a raised brow.
"(M/N)! Course I can... I wanted to say that you look cute with kids"
"But I'm just holding kids?"
"Ie, it's like a sweet vibe"
[Third]
Itadori watched with a resting soft smile on his face as he happily watched (M/N) take care of the children as they went back to Jujutsu Tech. By now the children were hugging his neck and Fushiguro couldn't help but think (M/N) would be a decent parent. Then again, anything is better than his that joined (M/N)'s father to get milk. He couldn't help but take a few more pictures especially when (M/N) for a minute, had a very slightly tug of the lips that formed a smile as he looked at the children. His eyes looked unusually soft and filled with care that. His brow was relaxed and Fushiguro was absolutely smitten, Itadori was too.
Both of them frowned slightly when (M/N) went back to his usual resting face after the minute but they cherished the fact they even saw it. (M/N) bid them goodbye to both of them when they arrived since his hands were full of now two happy drooling children. Itadori gave a bright smile and a wave while Megumi just nodded before (M/N) disappeared into his room.
"He looks cute with kids, doesn't he?" Itadori smiled
"...definitely"
Both of them waved each other goodbye before disappearing into their own rooms. Later on, Gojo swung by to do his usual sweet stealing as he sneakily jingled the doorknob only to realise it was open. That's strange, (M/N) loves to lock the doors, for a moment Gojo wondered for (M/N)'s safety so he peered inside before realising the blanket was raised quite a lot for a singular person. He creeped up closer and sense the familiar cursed energy of the two cursed children he fought today. He was in guard and clenched his fists before inching slight closer warily.
"Oh"
(M/N) was asleep under the blanket with his head resting on the pillow with both of the children hugging his arms. The little laugh Gojo had couldn't be helped because (M/N) looked like a tired mess halfway to death's doorstep in his sleep. The eye bags were more prominent, his skin losing a bit of the nice tanned complexion, his calm but very slow breathing, the messy drool on the pillow and his tousled hair that was very messy. No wonder he kept it short but Gojo couldn't help but find some charm in that even if (M/N) was a mess.
A hot mess.
That was when Gojo decided to take a selfie with the children koala hugging (M/N) before sending it to Nanami to tease him. For once, Nanami immediately replied, telling him to leave (M/N) alone which is when Gojo remembered that curses don't really appear on cameras. At that moment, (M/N) woke up, making Gojo freeze but luckily (M/N) only blinked before going back to sleep after tiredly pulling his cat out of the shadow to join him. He guess he wouldn't steal the sweets today. He left without anyone noticing.
"Weird...could've sworn someone was here, guess I'm going crazy like normal. I bet it's a Monday" (M/N) mumbled.
Extra:
"Cmon, you have to agree (M/N) is a cute parental figure~ The farmer boy aesthetic too" Gojo sighed to Inumaki as Itadori raised his hand and agreed.
"Ne sensei, I thought about this before but imagine, a sexy farmer boy coming home and he helps you take care of the kids while you cook. He then cuddles you and its so domestic! He occasionally makes sweet treats and he's just there to support you" Itadori ranted
"True! A wholesome domestic vibe, ne?" Gojo smirked
Inumaki nodded and silently wanted to go see (M/N). Maybe he could cuddle him again since they were cuddle buddies because Inumaki would use his height to his advantage and climb into (M/N)'s lap when the other was trying to study. Maybe a few kids running around in the background wouldn't be so bad but not theirs. He was jealous those children cuddled (M/N). He was the one who got flower-crowns and cuddles from (M/N) when he would notice the other was free and on the balcony looking at the flowers.
Meanwhile, Sukuna really wasn't interested, who cares if (M/N) took care of some children? He would only care if it was theirs and that was impossible since they're both men. Though, the smile he had, made Sukuna feel some type of way. Maybe an adopted kid to keep (M/N) happy when he rules the world even just to see that small smile again. He would have to pick carefully though and no white haired brats with blue eyes allowed. He might just ended finding a curse and making it into a pet for (M/N).
Fushiguro buried his face into the pillow before rolling over and using the palm of his hand to cover his face. To see some children so protective over his new and growing crush was rather cute especially when (M/N) would carefully feed one of the because they asked cheekily to be fed was so wholesome. His heart was fluttering. He remembered the smug grin on the girl's face and the moment she stuck her tongue out and made silly faces at him when she was carried the other's arms. He was irritated she got so much more time than he would typically in a day.
The need to talk to (M/N) grew and he couldn't keep swallowing up this feeling twisting in his gut whenever he saw (M/N), the shyness that made if feel like butterflies were swimming in his stomach. He wished he could talk as easily as (M/N) could and not be an overly awkward silent mess. He hated how he froze all the time and could feel the words getting stuck in his throat. At least (M/N) was patient in letting him get out his words but he can feel the heat rising to his cheeks as the embarrassment kicks in.
-
"Nanami... the children are gone" (M/N) started
"That's good, is it not?" Nanami offered.
"Yeah, there were ups and downs but they were good children. If I'm marrying a cute boy, I might help take care of one from time to time. Only nice children." I stated.
"Does it have to be a cute boy, the person you want to marry?" Nanami asked.
"Nope, not necessarily. Hot and sexy is fine too. I guess pretty is fine. I want to say I have taste... but that's obviously not true. I just feel like cute can encompass everything"
Silently, Nanami noticed (M/N) had used a big word which was rare before having a thought that wondered if he met that criteria but he got distracted by (M/N) who was staring at the American cheese slices and clearly wondering with the way his eyebrows were furrowed that he didn't understand something about it. When he asked, (M/N) asked why they were so hard to melt and why they were so weird looking.
Letting out a small smile, Nanami was glad to see (M/N) acting like his normal self, asking the random weird questions he would have normally. At least he wasn't impacted by the children being exorcised. The younger one clearly had a weird unexpressed fascination with random items. He noticed the subtle differences in the speed (M/N) would flicker his eyes between objects and possibly people that fascinated him and he noticed with him and the children. Maybe, his emotions weren't all gone and maybe he was just a subtle person.
Not everyone had to be extremely expressive.
"Nanamin...eh, sorry I meant Nanami, do you want to come gardening with me? I've been growing some Lily Stargazers and some Hydrangeas which look really nice. Actually, your in your suit so you don't have to" (M/N) stated.
"No, I'll go with you. Nanamin is fine, if you want Kento is good too" Nanami offered.
"Ara? If thats your first name then why does sensei refer to your last name. Normally, he's on a first name basis" (M/N) pointed out using his last braincell.
"Who knows?" Nanami shrugged.

[Juju Garden]
Label the vegetables correctly or you die:
"Gojo sensei, who changed the name of my eggplants to dick jokes?"
"Sate satee, who knows?" Gojo whistled
"Oh really, well it's a shame this person won't own up to it. I feel like murdering them for it"
That night Gojo did not feel safe while sleeping while (M/N) was genuinely confused on which dates to harvest the eggplants since they all had dick drawings on them now. On his shoulder, Neko asked if he could eat Gojo but (M/N) simply asked him why he would.
"What do you mean lying thots need to die?"
"Meow"
