You 've got a date today.

It 's finally the weekend, and much to your immense delight, Junpei hasn 't tried to back out or cancel your plans. You 've been texting him since you woke up earlier. It 's hard to tell if he 's looking forward to it as much as you are, but either way, you 're ecstatic.

'I have to leave in a bit, ' you say, struggling to bite back your smile.

Itadori frowns. Since you don 't have classes today, you decided to stop by and hang out with him for a while. The cursed puppet pretty much never reacts anymore. He 's definitely gotten the hang of controlling his cursed energy. He 's a

'Where are you going? ' he asks.

'I 'm hanging out with Junpei, ' you beam. 'You know, that friend I told you about before? '

'Huh? The guy you only met once? The one whose number you asked for because ' you thought he was cute? '

'Yep, that one, ' you nod.
