Work Text:
One day when Yuta went on a mission with Itadori, they got along very well. Yuta mainly stayed behind to observe and support Itadori.
“Itadori-kun, you did well. The Black Flash shot just now was perfect!”
“Ahaha is that so? Thank you Okkotsu-senpai!”
At that moment, there was suddenly a rustling sound from the bushes nearby, both Itadori and Yuta took a defensive stance but not too seriously because they could not feel the cursed energy or any dangerous aura from there. The two curiously walked closer to the bush. When Yuta reached out to see what was in there, a white fur ball immediately jumped into Yuta's lap.
“Ah!”
“Okkotsu-senpai, are you okay??”
The two looked closely, and on Yuta's lap was a rather large cat with white fur. It curled up trembling and snuggled deeply into Yuta's shirt, looking very scared. Both Itadori and Yuta looked at each other and then back at the cat.
“Maybe it was afraid of the cursed spirit just now and hid in the bushes for a long time?”
Itadori looked at the trembling white cat pitifully and reached out to pet it, but the cat trembled even more and growled fearfully.
“Eh? What what? Why is he afraid of me?”
Yuta seemed to guess the reason.
“Perhaps it's because Itadori-kun just directly fought the cursed spirit just now that you still have the smell or the cursed energy of that cursed spirit is very strong on your body?”
“Oh so that's it”
Itadori clapped his hands together as if he understood the problem. Yuta carefully and slowly tried to touch the cat. It was a bit tense, but after a while it relaxed and let him pet it. The white cat gradually calmed down, it stopped trembling and began to breathe evenly.
“Senpai, it looks like it has a necklace.”
Itadori pointed to the necklace that seemed to be hidden by thick white fur. Yuta gently stroked the cat a few more times and gradually moved his hand up to its neck and gently pushed up the fur to see the name tag attached to the collar. The sign is black with white text with the owner's name and phone number on it. Yuta tried to get the phone, but because it was in his pocket, Yuta had to stand up to get it out, but the white cat was lying on his lap.
“Let me call”
Itadori took out his phone and dialed the number. After waiting for a while, the person answered the phone. After hanging up the phone, Itadori turned around.
“That's exactly the number of this kid's owner. I heard that person say that every time he goes away on a business trip and is not home, his cat often runs out to look for him and gets lost. Normally he would leave it at an acquaintance's house, but this time they were also busy so he left it at home."
Yuta looked at the white cat in his arms and felt a little sad, he hugged it tighter and stroked its well-groomed white fur.
“And this kid got lost again?”
Itadori nodded and put his phone in his pocket.
“The cat's owner said he will return home in 2 days and pick it up, he hopes we can look after it for him.”
Yuta nodded, picked up the big cat in his arms and went back to school with Itadori to report on the mission. After returning to school, it seemed that the smell and residual curse energy of the cursed spirit on Itadori's body had faded, so the cat no longer growled or was too scared when he stroked it like before. When discussing who the cat will stay with, it's probably pretty obvious that it's very clingy to Yuta. They said goodbye to each other and went home.
...
As soon as Yuta entered the house, he saw Gojo coming out of the shower. Yuta happily placed the white cat in Gojo's hands and went into the bathroom.
“Sensei, keep an eye on it, okay?”
Gojo looked at the cat in his lap, it didn't seem to be a stray cat and it had the owner's phone number and name on the name tag on its neck. Then there was a message from the group chat of the first year - second year class and Gojo-sensei. Itadori posted a photo of himself, senior Yuta, and a big white cat snuggled in his senior's shirt. Nobara made a fuss because Itadori didn't call her out to see the cat! Gojo laughed at his students' messages and took a photo of him and the white cat and posted it to the group chat.
The white cat on Gojo's lap suddenly sniffed something around and jumped onto the table. Gojo observed it for a while then suddenly realized there was chocolate on the table. He immediately quickly lifted the chocolate box out of the hungry cat's reach. It seemed very hungry so it meowed and growled angrily.
“Bad cat! If you eat this, you will get sick."
The cat of course didn't understand and due to its hungry stomach it jumped up and dangled from Gojo's pants because its claws were stuck in the fabric of the pants. Gojo sighed and grabbed the cat's nape. Yuta came out of the bathroom and saw this scene and quickly ran to catch the cat in his arms.
“Sensei, don't grab the cat's scruff like that, the cat will feel pain.”
Gojo didn't know this so he quickly apologized.
“Sorry, I don't know”
Yuta stroked the cat that was hugging his neck, Gojo looked at the cat with a bit of wonder.
'Why is that cat suddenly so obedient?'
Sensei put his box of chocolates in the refrigerator to avoid those soft, mischievous cat paws from finding it again. Yuta removed the cat's paws from his neck and held them, shaking them gently.
“Are you going to eat that chocolate? Don't eat it, you will get sick if you eat it. It will be very painful here.”
Yuta gently pulled the cat's paw and pointed to its pure white belly.
“Your owner and the rest of us will be very sad, so don't eat that, okay?”
"Meow, meow meow..."
The cat made a sad face, perhaps it was very hungry. Yuta chuckled and lightly touched the soft cat paws in his hands.
“Okay, let me cook you something to eat, be good and sit here with Gojo-sensei, okay?”
Gojo sat with his chin in his hands while watching the sight of Yuta easily coaxing the white cat.
“You are very good at comforting animals and children, aren't you?”
Yuta smiled mischievously while putting the white cat down on the sofa to go to the kitchen to make food.
“I always have to comfort an even more mischievous cat every day.”
Gojo could only laugh while watching Yuta put on his apron and go to the kitchen to prepare food.
“I'm your lover Yuta, not your pet.”
...
The cat seems to be very attached to Yuta. At night it also crawls into bed and curls up next to him. Yuta begins to feel affection for this cat. It's sad that he has to return home in two days. It seems that Yuta was so attracted to this white fur ball that he forgot he had another white fur ball that needed to be comforted. Yuta's lover was lying on the bed with a confused look on his face.
“I have had enough! Yuta, it's not just that cat that needs to be pampered! Have you noticed that Gojo-sensei has been ignored by you all day?"
Yuta smiled helplessly as he watched his teacher roll back and forth on the bed like a child.
“Sensei, I'm not ignoring you…?”
The white cat rubbed its head on Yuta's chest demandingly when he suddenly stopped stroking it. Yuta laughed out loud and continued the stroking motion, making the white cat purr happily.
“Meow~”
“Haha that tickles Satoru~”
Gojo's ears perked up and his eyes glared extremely scary. Yuta sweatdropped looking at his teacher.
“Okkotsu Yuta? Who did you just call?”
Yuta's right hand still automatically caressed the cat's soft white fur while his left hand gently scratched under its chin, the white cat couldn't look happier.
“Ah um, the cat?”
“But that's my name!”
Yuta tilted his head innocently, it was just a sudden thought that flowed out of his mouth, he didn't think his lover would react so strongly.
“Ah, the cat looks a lot like sensei so I blurted out calling him that..ahaha. Look at this, the white fur is soft and well-groomed, the blue eyes are sparkling, very similar, right?”
Yuta picked up the cat in front of Gojo. The white cat meowed like it despised him for not being hugged by Yuta.
“Yuta!! That cat is looking down on me! Those eyes, that meow!!”
Yuta tilted his head and chuckled when he saw Gojo making such an exaggerated pose, he didn't know that the teacher wasn't joking.
“That's not true~ Satoru is very obedient, how could he do that?”
“You haven't even called me by my first name! Yet you use it to call a cat."
The white cat wriggled into Yuta's chest again and happily enjoyed the place Gojo wanted the most. Gojo scratched his head, after a tiring day of work, what he needed most was to cuddle with his lover!! Lunch break, dinner, even watching TV, Gojo gave it all to that damn cat. Gojo definitely can't give in even when he sleeps, right?
“Sensei, don't be like that, in two days Sa-um the cat will come home, can you spare him a little bit?”
Gojo angrily turned around on the bed so he wouldn't have to see that clingy cat anymore, Yuta saw that the cat's clinginess was super similar to his sensei. Gojo muttered something softly.
“Huh, but someone got angry when I just took pictures with female students on the street just to have a friendly interaction..”
A dark aura suddenly emitted like smoke from the person lying behind Gojo. The bad teacher chuckled in his heart because he had successfully retaliated against his student. Actually, Gojo wasn't angry at Yuta because of that time, but he also found his student's gesture so adorable that he always repeated it every time he had the chance.
“Sensei still wants to take pictures with those ‘cute’ girls in uniform?”
The aura was so dark and strong that it made the cat in Yuta's chest tremble slightly in fear and lie still instead of continuing to snuggle into Yuta's chest.
“No way ~ How could I think like that?”
Yuta puffed his cheeks a bit angrily and stared at Gojo until his spine chilled, but Gojo was very happy.
'My lover is so adorable'
“If you let random girls on the street take pictures with you, don't blame me.”
The sound was so cold that it penetrated even the blanket that Gojo was covering, the white cat was also scared and trembled when looking at Yuta's gloomy face at a close distance. Its cry was trembling and extremely pitiful.
“Meow..meow”
Yuta came out of his gloomy state and looked back at the poor scared little cat that was trembling. He quickly stroked its white fur and smiled gently to comfort the scared little cat.
“Sorry, sorry, did I scare you?”
Yuta turned towards his sensei and scolded him sternly.
“Sensei, stop teasing me by saying those things, I'll be really angry.”
Gojo put his hand behind his back and waved as if in agreement.
“Okay okay, sensei also doesn't want any bloodshed~”
Yuta also turned his back to the teacher while holding the white cat in his arms. Cats are truly super adorable creatures, their fur is extremely soft and smooth, they will rub and cuddle us anytime and anywhere. Regardless, even purring when happy is extremely cute.
‘You really look a lot like Gojo-sensei. Did you feel very lonely at that time?’
Yuta thought to himself and fell into a deep sleep while hugging a soft white fur ball, not knowing that a moment later a larger white fur ball crawled up to him and hugged him from behind. The little white furball yawned while burying its head in Yuta's hand that had stopped stroking it. The big white fur ball wrapped his arms around Yuta's waist, then buried his head in his lover's shoulder and breathed in happiness. Yuta slept soundly while sandwiched between two white fur balls.
...
The day of saying goodbye to the fluffy white cat.
“Sensei, can we raise a cat? If it's white, even better."
Gojo intended to immediately refuse with all the troubles of the past few days, but when he saw Yuta's happy face because he had just been treated by the furry creature, he couldn't help but give in.
“Ah–okay, it's up to you”
So they finally welcomed a new member into their home.
