── .✦ possessive bf yuji itadori ✧.*
it may not look like it on the surface, but yuji could be very possessive of you.
sure, he acted like an actual dog around you. he'd follow you wherever you went and you could almost see a tail wagging behind him excitedly. he always did as you asked; never made you feel like you had to do anything on your own. no matter what you were going through, he'd be there for you, loyal as ever.
it's just that he could also get desperately clingy and outright jealous. and it happened very easily.
you'd only really started to notice it when you joined a new study group in college; one that wasn't just your girlfriends that yuji had already met (and won over) and included a few guys in your class. the first time you brought it up, his face tightened imperceptibly before it smoothed over with his usual bright grin.
"let me come with you!" he offered. "i drive you to the library all the time anyway, and we can go out for dinner afterwards."
the offer was innocent, harmless, even nice of him. of course, you accepted wholeheartedly. it was unusual for yuji to willingly devote part of his day to study, but anything that helped get his grades up was a win.
you only didn't expect he'd sit silently next to you the whole time while glowering at any man who even dared to glance in your direction.
when you questioned him about it as the two of you left (earlier than you should've, because yuji was "tired"), his eyes widened.
"ah really? i didn't notice. guess i was zoning out," he scratched the back of his neck sheepishly, then brushed it off like nothing happened and smiled. "hey, let's go get ramen. we can get your favourite ice cream too."
you would've thought nothing more of it if it ended there. yet it didn't. you began to be more conscious of the way yuji staked his claim over you in subtle ways that before you simply thought of as him being protective.
"yujiii," you whined, patting more concealer on the mark on your neck from the night before. "i have class in fifteen minutes, i can't go out like this."
arms of lean muscle wrapped around your waist from behind as yuji pouted at your reflection in the mirror in front of you. "aw i didn't realize it would look that bad. sorry ma," he apologized, though you secretly suspected he wasn't really that remorseful. "i'll be careful next time, swear it."
you craned your neck to narrow your eyes at him. "next time, i'm gonna bite you so hard you won't be able to hide it."
your words unfortunately had exactly the opposite effect you hoped for. his eyes seemed to sparkle at the thought. "promise?"
gawking, you swatted his arm weakly. "you dumbass. you really don't care?"
"why would i?" he asked bluntly, like the question itself was stupid. heat rushed to your cheeks at that, and you turned back around, focusing on applying more makeup than letting him see you get flustered. he noticed though, and hid his smirk in your shoulder.
the more you let his possessiveness go unchecked, the bolder he got. once, while he came over and laid in your bed, he noticed you on your phone trying not to laugh.
"who is it?" he hugged your waist and looked up at you, his fingers pressing a little harder into your bare thighs. you didn't even notice and leaned back against the headboard, sighing.
"some guy in my dm's," you stroked yujis scalp absently. "i'm gonna block him."
before you could pick your phone up again, yuji already grabbed it. he frowned at the texts the guy had sent, then opened the camera. you gaped as he took a single photo of himself on your lap, sent it, and tossed the phone next to your pillow.
"don't have to worry about him now," yuji said simply, burrowing his face into your stomach. "could you do that thing to my hair again? felt so good."
you stilled as you watched this shameless man smile up at you without a care in the world. but you relented anyway, letting your hands smooth over his head and he hummed contentedly.
at his games, he always made sure you had a seat in the front row of bleachers so you could see him properly. he liked when you wore his spare jersey to cheer for him, his last name and number emblazoned across your back in bold. when he inevitably won, he ran to you first, planting a fat kiss on your lips and hugging you triumphantly.
"did you see that last shot i made?" he'd ask excitedly. "tell me you liked it, was it good?"
you'd laugh. "i did! you played so well, yuu." he'd grin and then let his eyes trail down your body with unhidden appreciation.
"don't ever take this off. you look so pretty for me," he grabbed your face, kissed your neck right in front of the audience before rushing to join his teammates without giving you a chance to scold him. you stood there flushed, embarrassed, yet somehow pleased.
sometimes his behaviour made the two of you argue though.
one night, you stormed out of the library with him trailing right behind you. you'd come to study with the same group as before. when a guy got a little too friendly with you while you were helping him with a chapter, yuji got predictably irritated.
his hand had snaked under the table to grip your thigh far too tightly, inching closer to slipping under your skirt, as he glared at the poor guy. breath hitching, you'd grabbed his wrist to stop him, trying to signal that this was clearly not the time. his brows had furrowed as his hand remained unmoving for about five seconds before it had reluctantly let go.
then he'd fully kissed you, shoving his tongue past your lips until the guy got the hint and walked off, mortified.
"baby please, i wasn't thinking straight," he pleaded afterwards, still following you on the sidewalk. "i can't help it, my mind goes crazy sometimes, i-"
"you get crazy all the time, yuji," you shot back, stopping to turn around and face him. "you literally can't handle a man even breathing near me. you can't just pop a blood vessel every time someone tries to talk to me."
yuji had the decency to at least look a little guilty. his fists clenched nervously and he gazed at you helplessly. for a moment, he resembled a kicked puppy and you almost gave up being mad at him. you steeled your resolve, but he had walked closer to you and abruptly hugged you.
"i'm sorry. i just love you too much," his voice turned ragged and he held you tighter. "even the thought of you looking away from me, i can't- i can't bear it."
you didn't move as he continued to hug you. you really shouldn't let him go off that easy again. you mustn't.
"please don't be mad at me," he whispered. "i'll be better, promise. i'll do anything, ma. anything for you. i won't make you upset again. i swear. just don't push me away, i think i'll die."
"…asshole," you muttered hesitantly, though your arms came up to hug him back, heart softening against your will. did he actually mean what he said, you doubted it. but maybe you didn't really mind if he was a little territorial over you.
a/n: not too happy w this one but🤷♀️ ✧.*
