“Wow, Yuta's cheeks are so elastic.”
“Sensei–you've been poking my cheek for more than 10 minutes now.”
Yuta felt a bit conflicted in his heart, even though he liked being close to his teacher, the way he spoke was as if telling Yuta that he was getting fat.
After Sukuna was sealed again, Yuta also had more time to rest. Yuta was taken by his friends and juniors to places like Kyoto or Osaka and tried from one food specialty to another. Sometimes the first year and second year classes even get together to cook and hold a grand party, even inviting teachers.
‘Um..those times were fun but…’
Yuta's body does not easily absorb fat or meat dishes. If he eats a little too much, his stomach will be very uncomfortable. Yuta is actually a bit jealous of other people like Maki or Itadori. When they go out to eat grilled meat, the two of them often eat portions of 3-4 people or more and still aren't full.
Although he doesn't eat much meat or fat, Yuta still eats a lot of local snacks, especially sweets... perhaps influenced by Gojo-sensei.
“It's all sensei's fault..”
No one understands why Yuta came to such a conclusion, perhaps it's because Gojo kept encouraging him that 'Yuta should eat more, eat more to be like me'--
'I can't see my body becoming like sensei's, I just see my weight increasing rapidly..'
Yuta's eyebrows furrowed and his cheeks puffed up, making Gojo excited and tease him even more.
“I tried so hard too..why is it so hard to have muscles..”
Yuta muttered in frustration. The more Gojo poked his cheeks, the more angry Yuta became. The more angry Yuta became, the more the white-haired teacher laughed.
“Ahaha, this depends on each person's physical condition, Yuta is the type to use cursed energy to compensate for physical strength. Completely opposite of Maki and Itadori, right?”
Thinking back, it's true...but...
“But at the end of the day, I eat a lot just to get fat, it doesn't help anything..yet you keep telling me to eat more.”
Gojo laughed while pinching Yuta's cheeks.
“Ahaha, is that so? But it's good for Yuta to have a little more meat ~ Besides, youth is supposed to be enjoyed, going out and eating with friends is fun, right?"
Thinking back to that time, Yuta's anger gradually subsided..
“Um, it's true that hanging out with everyone is very fun…um..”
Yuta looked like he had something to say, the white-haired teacher tilted his head.
“Hmm? What's wrong, Yuta?”
The teenager sitting in his sensei's lap on the sofa blushed and bowed his head slightly embarrassed.
“It would be more fun if sensei hung out with us more often..”
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, with only pink mallow seeds floating in space, carrying the young person's emotions to the sky-colored heart of the person he loved. Hope that feeling can be fully conveyed...
“Ahaha~ Yuta is the cutest in the world, will you marry me?”
The silence just now was almost non-existent. The joking teacher laughed loudly, hugged the student in his arms, and then ruffled Yuta's plum blossom-scented hair.
“Sensei, stop joking..!”
Yuta still couldn't get used to his sensei's overly close 'teacher-student relationship'. He swore his heart almost dropped when Gojo said that sentence earlier.
“Eh, I'm not joking, you know.”
It seems that Yuta doesn't know that students don't usually sit on their teacher's lap on the sofa and watch TV together on their day off like that...Maki, Toge and Panda were really worried about their friend's innocence in the hands of this inappropriate white-haired teacher.
