Yuji bit his bottom lip in anxiousness. He held your shoulders and was silent for a while, just looking in your eyes that were completely lifeless. There wasn't a single spark or any sign of life in your eyes.

"[Y/N],I..want you to be happy. It hurts to see you like this. You are never happy, i don't  think I ever saw you smiling for once.you should know that...we're here for you to help" he looked into your eyes  while keeping a gentle grip on you.

"I'm here for you"His lips curled up into a soft smile as he continue . "Why?" Your brows snapped together and face was set in a hard line.

What did you even do for him?You have no relation to him then,Why would he try to pull you out of your darkness?

His eyes narrowed when you muttered 'why'. You took a sharp breath and spoke once again in a monotone voice
"Why would you help me ? There's no point of making me happy. I'm just No one"

"you might be no one for yourself but not for others. There are still people out there building connections with each other" He sighed.
No matter how hard he tries,you always neglect him.

"But what If I don't want to?"
Yuji's jaw tightened at your words. He wished if he could make you back into the person you used to be,just as gojo told him.

You was a complete loner,not seeking any affection, just trying to survive in the world of Jujutsu sorcery.

Heartless is what they call you . But no one tried to know how did you ended up so miserably in the first place except for yuji.

"Attachment to people makes you weak. Besides, no matter who is by your side when you die. You'll be alone" you turned your back to him and walked away.

He reached out for your wrist to stop you. But His hand grasp the red string on your wrist.

"I know that very well that death comes to all of us" He exhales to calm himself down . He held the red string tighter and started tying it around his finger.

You stopped in your tracks ,when the red thread on your wrist was pulled. Your back was still facing him.
He finally tied the red thread which was on your wrist ,to his finger.

You felt like the string was pulling up your hand. He raised his hand up , due to your hand got lifted up too.
You turn your head to him. Your side profile facing him with a confused expression.

Both yours and his hand was now attached with the red string. The red string started from you wrist and was ending up on one of his fingers.

"I have accepted the reality, we're gonna die one day. That's why I swear I'll be by your side till death do us apart" He looked directly into your eyes with a determined face.

The thread you always perceived as a seal was now  connecting you to someone whom you're meant for.

He flashed you a smile , so genuine and affectionate, that it left a warm and fuzzy  feeling within your cold heart.
