Itadori Yuji

Yuji felt like a spare part. Nobara was chatting with her girlfriend, Maki; it wasn't that he felt awkward, far from it, he just didn't want to disturb them. At that moment, Omega wondered where the hell Megumi had gone—the three of them usually spent their breaks together. That's what happens when you become a spectator to someone else's love.

Yuji probably would have preferred to at least talk to someone. He was almost resigned: was it really Valentine's Day today, and he didn't know about it? Because just this morning, he'd seen Master Gojo being affectionate with Master Geto. So he knew they were married, but they hadn't even bothered to go somewhere far away to kiss—they were practically kissing right in front of him.

Returning to reality, Yuji slipped away from Nobara and Maki unnoticed at that moment to find another place to eat in peace. As he walked through the hallways, he noticed Megumi out of the corner of his eye; the rascal was glued to his phone.

Yuji didn't know whether to go up to him and slap him, or ask him what he was doing.

In the end, he chose the second: he quietly approached Alpha and touched his shoulder.

— Fushigurooo! Where did you disappear to? Kugisaki and I were waiting for you...

Yuji pouted slightly, but when he noticed that Megumi didn't respond, he was a little taken aback—the latter didn't even look at him.

• Fushiguro?

Omega called out to him again, hoping that this time Alpha would pay attention to him. But that didn't happen.

Moreover, Megumi had jumped up and run away, pretending she didn't want to talk to Yuji at all. This confused him even more; Yuji needed to understand why Alpha was acting like this, otherwise he'd think he didn't want to see him at all. This simple thought made him feel sick for a moment.

Almost as if in pursuit, he followed Megumi wherever he went—at least he wouldn't get lost in school. He glanced around the still-empty hallways and classrooms; he couldn't see him, but he was following his pheromones.
