Could Itadori Fall in Love with the Eight-Headed Serpent?

Orihara Michie is the kind of person who says what needs saying. He never makes himself suffer, and he always sticks to his usual stone-faced approach, turning downright fierce when the situation calls for it. He thought that would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble. That was, until he started high school. The boy sitting behind him, Itadori, kept giving him strange looks. Whenever Michie caught him at it, Itadori would flash him a dazzling smile. Then, during PE one day, Itadori's shot put hit him with astonishing accuracy... To be precise, it hit the frame and bounced back into him. At that moment, Michie saw a giant serpent with eight heads coiled above him. Orihara Michie was convinced he had died and gone to hell. * Who could have guessed that, after a single throw opened Itadori's spiritual meridians, the boy would inexplicably confess to Michie the very next day? And in such a terrible place, too: a crematorium. As Itadori clung to him and yelled, "If you die, you'll never get another chance!" Michie calmly patted his back. Under the amused gaze of a white-haired teacher and the stunned stare of a black-haired sea-urchin, he replied with absolutely no sincerity: "What, will you die if you like me? Then don't like me... Hey, don't cry." Itadori: !!! Tears streaming down his face: Did I just get rejected?! I totally did, didn't I! * Itadori: Waaaah, he must not like me, or he wouldn't always reply to my messages with just a few words! At night, the giant serpent, forced to return to snake form, sighed as he poked at his phone with the tip of his tail. Itadori: Waaaah, he cooked for me because he wants me to eat and leave! Orihara, hiding his serpent body in the kitchen, watched Itadori cover his face at the table, looking deeply worried. ...Does he really not want to stay here overnight? * When Mahito launched a sudden attack, Itadori rushed in front of Michie, spread his arms to shield him from Mahito's technique, and shouted with his eyes shut, "Even if Orihara doesn't like me, I'll protect you no matter what!" Confused, Michie reached out and clasped the hand Mahito had stretched toward him. His tail had reverted to its true form. In a daze, he held the cursed spirit with one hand and pressed the other against Itadori's stunned face. He asked sincerely: "Haven't we already been together for months?" P.S.
