Mahito patiently waited to Y/N, it's been three weeks when the girl didn't show up.
It scares him that the woman might be in danger or she decided not to meet him again, a dejectedly smile formed from his face while scrolling his phone, staring on a picture he took while Y/N was sleeping on his embrace.
Mahito chuckled yet feeling sadness, "Ah~ I miss you." He mumbled under his breath, closing his phone. Mahito stared at Jujutsu Tech which is nearby his location, since the woman didn't show up; he waited there hoping that he will see her again.
A feeling of melancholy filled his emotion; he can't explain why he was waiting to the woman, even though she's his enemy, still hoping if that woman will come back.
He missed it when the woman is hugging him, holding his rough hands, the way she fixes his hair and everything from her, he want to feel it again. Her smiles, glaring eyes and talking about nonsense things, he wants to see and hear it again. He felt that some part of his heart was missing.
As the day goes by, his feelings for her deepened. Mahito's mind were full of thoughts of Y/N, preoccupied as always, he even stopped tripping with people's life since then as he doesn't want to disappoint her.
"Mahi.." A female voice chimed in, Mahito stood up with a smile from his face, as the woman's voice brightens his mood. "Y/N!" Mahito exclaimed, rushing towards to her position and he then hugged the girl tightly, making her flinched and groaned as she felt pain.
"Sorry.. Did I hurt you?" He worriedly asked, inspecting the woman's figure as he saw more bruised on her skin, her swollen eyes, he even noticed how pale she was.
He raised a brow, "Who did this?" He asked.
"No.. One." Y/N said in a low voice, assuring him that no one hurt her.
Mahito nodded slowly, he knew that the girl was not feeling well, he kneeled on the ground as he wants the woman to get on his back.
"What are you doing?" Y/N asked, pulling the back of his black shawl to make him stand up.
"Get on my back, you must be tired." Mahito said in a low voice, tapping his shoulder, "You don't need to, I don't want you to get tired either." Y/N refused, assuring him that she can walk on her own yet Mahito didn't stop.
Y/N let out a deep breath, knowing Mahito won't stop. She carefully get herself on his back wrapping her swollen arms around his neck.
"You good?" Mahito asked as he stood up, "Yes, I hope I don't weight that much." Y/N mumbled, she buried her head around his neck, closing her swollen eyes.
A smell of vanilla fragrance aroused her attention, it was new to her.
"Mahi~ you smelled vanilla, did you took a bath?" Y/N playfully asked, sniffing around his neck again, that gave goosebumps to Mahito.
"I always take a bath!" Mahito defended, "But this is new, last time you smelled sewer." The woman stated, lifting her hands as she caresses his grayish-blue hair.
"Wow~ did you use some conditioner or what?" She asked again, missing to tease him more.
"Hah~ don't ask me. I did that so I'm more aromatic than you." Mahito teased, giggling as he noticed her getting pissed again.
He then ruffled the woman's H/C colored hair, chuckling.
"Hey, you ruined my hair!" Y/N exclaimed, pinching his cheek.
The two of them headed in a rooftop, where Mahito stay in when he's bored.
"I bet this is your hideout too." Y/N said, exploring the place with her eyes.
"Nah~ this place is relaxing, isn't it?" Mahito asked, placing her on a table.
The two of them went in silence, feeling the fresh air on their face.
"Are you okay?" Y/N asked, remembering that her brother and Mahito had a fight.
"Yes, why do you ask?" Mahito said, leaning his head over her lap.
Y/N chuckled, stroking his hair up and down gently, "Nothing, I just heard from someone that you had a fight with a sorcerer." Y/N stated.
"That 7:3 sorcerer?" Mahito asked again, referring to her older brother.
"Yes, that 7:3 sorcerer who hates overtime." Y/N said, giggling when she remembered that Nanami hates it.
"Yes, is he your boyfriend?" Mahito asked, pouting as he stood up, feeling jealous.
"Oi stop pouting! I heard you but he's not, why do you ask that nonsense question?" Y/N directly said, causing Mahito to flinched as he sat down wrapping his heavy arms around her shoulder.
"It's because you are worried to him." Mahito said, "I was just worried because he's my comrade, and I'm more worried to you." Y/N said in a low voice, she cares for his brother but when she knew that Mahito was his opponent, she felt nervous.
"Really?~" Mahito playfully asked, staring at her eyes down to her lips.
The woman gulped, trying avoiding his gaze. "Ha-ha~ I wished that 7:3 sorcerer smashed your ass." Y/N teased, reducing the lasciviousness tension between them.
"Whatever, woman." Mahito said.
Y/N didn't talk for a minutes, she let herself relaxed for awhile, her dreams were starting to torture her mind, a lot of terrifying things she saw was haunting her.
"Mahi.. If something weird happens to me.. Don't hesitate to kill me." Y/N said, her lips trembled when her tears fell down, she looked down to hide her tears.
"What do you mean?" Mahito curiously asked, "Just imagine if you saw me then you felt that it wasn't me." The woman explained.
Mahito grabbed her chin gently, making her face him. "If someone took over your place, I will kill that someone, not you." Mahito said, a feeling of anger surrounds his emotion, he thought that her words were meaning something he doesn't know.
"If you kill that, I might be dead too."
Mahito sighed, intertwining his hand to her hand. A blissful feeling made them forget about the things that stresses them.
"Isn't it weird? That I'm always with you?" Y/N asked, gazing to the man's eyes.
A smiled formed from his face, "Yes, it's weird. You are hanging out with a cursed spirit, not frightened at all."
"Mahito, the first time we met.. You should've kill me." Y/N said in a low voice.
Mahito chuckled, then suddenly his face turned stern.
"Why would I kill the woman I like?" Mahito asked in a deep voice, which made her startled.
Y/N's eyes widened, her jaw's dropped as she began to feel heat on her face, a beads of sweat falling from her forehead.
"I-I l-like? What do--"
"I like you." Mahito bluntly confessed.
