It's your day off from school, and you're touching your phone in bed until you receive a call from Nobara. You hesitated to answer because there were times where she butt dialed you, so you weren't sure if it's that. After a few more seconds went by, you accepted the call realizing that it's not by mistake.
"Hello?"
"Y/N!" Nobara frantically shouted your name, bursting your ear drums as you wondered what's going on.
"Yeah? What's up?"
"ITADORI AND FUSHIGURO TURNED INTO BABIES!"
You really wanted to ask if she was joking, but you knew she doesn't joke about things like this. You could hear the confusion and loss in her voice so of course this was serious. "Okay I'll come over," you wonder what could've turned them into babies and you'll find out once you get there.
In the student lounge, you were presented with 12 months babies Megumi and Yuji sitting on the couch as Gojo took pictures of them.
"Megumi, look at me! Say cheese! I need your cute smile!" Gojo instructed baby Megumi as he refused to give what Gojo wanted. Baby Megumi just looked away from the camera or flopped on his chest to avoid everything at all cost, caring less about the photo shoot he was doing.
"Even as a baby, Megumi's aloof attitude remains." You muttered, watching Gojo cry over pictures.
"Gojo's been doing that ever since we got them in a stroller." Nobara commented. "Like I get it, babies are cute, but they're babies so they're not going to participate if they don't like you."
The only participant was Yuji who dazzled everyone with his smile. His chubby cheeks looked like mochi as some teeth were already showing. Even you got a hit of baby fever from the sight of baby Yuji. Your chest ached from his cute nature squeezing your heart.
Oh my gosh! He's so adorable! You said to yourself, closing your eyes as you clenched your shirt.
"Y/n, get a hold of yourself!" Nobara hit you on the arm so you could collect your composure.
"Yes!" You straightened yourself out and walked over to Gojo and kicked his butt. Gojo fell on his side like someone pulling the wrong block at the game of Jenga, causing everything to crumble down.
"Ouch, y/n! You're such a bully! Why would you conduct violence in front of these innocent babies?! You're not a good influence!"
A tick mark appeared on your forehead, wondering why you have to deal with Gojo. "Boy, shut up. You're so dramatic."
"LANGUAGE, Y/N!" Gojo yelled in agony, still on the ground as he glared at you.
"Don't tell me that I'm a bully when you give us your life or death missions, you lazy old man. You tryna have us killed before we reach your age!" You snapped back at him, causing him to quiet down because he knew you're right. "Look. You threw them on a mission where they're babies now."
"Hey!" Gojo retorted as he huffed in annoyance and you rolled your eyes.
"Whatever! If you have the free time to take pictures, why don't you watch them? Why bother to call us?"
"Because," Gojo got back up on his feet and poked your head with his index finger. "I'm busy!"
"Okay, are you going to tell me what happened?!" You came here for Nobara, not to argue with Gojo. He's really pissing you off that you might walk out because he's not getting to the point. "If not, I'm leaving this on you!"
Gojo sensed your snappy nature arising from your body. He knew he had to say it now or never because he might not be able to convince you to come back again. "Yes, it was me who sent Megumi, Yuji, and Nobara to this mission!" He pleaded guilty with his hands in the air. "I told them to take down a curse user whose ability is to turn people into babies and—"
You sarcastically interrupted, like you knew what he's going to say. "Oh don't tell me… The curse user is a cannibal and eats babies because they're vulnerable!" It was supposed to be a joke but it wasn't.
"Wow! Y/n, how did you know?!" Gojo was shocked at your detective skills as you were taken aback.
"What? I was just joking…"
"I wish it was a joke," Nobara said in a monotone voice. "I defeated the curse user before he could snatch Fushiguro and Itadori away from me. Girl, it's so hard to fight when you're babysitting…" She sighed and sat on another couch, rubbing her temples.
"The baby effect lasts for 24 hours so I need you to help Nobara take care of the babies. I know watching two babies is hard!" Gojo informed.
"Boy, why do you talk as if you have kids? Because you don't."
Gojo clicked his tongue at you with the sass you gave him coming back to you. "Girl, don't you know it's hard to take care of four teenagers? I gotta—"
Just when he was about to make a list about what he does for the four of you, you kicked him out of the room so you didn't lose your brain cells. Being around Gojo makes you feel dumber.
"Oh wait… I need him to pay me. I'm not a babysitter for free!" You're not going to watch them from your kind heart. You could, but Gojo brought this upon himself so you want something in return.
After chucking your shoe at him and giving him a beat down for not listening to your request, you got your suitcase full of money.
"Which one are you taking?" Nobara asked, taking some of the money that you gave her. Everyone knows that kids are expensive, so of course you'll lend her some cash.
Staring at the two babies who were watching some fun and entertaining baby videos on your phone, you had to choose Yuji. He's just too adorable in your eyes. Your baby fever won't let you run away from him.
"Yuji. I can handle him." And also it's because he's your baby now, but you didn't want to say that or else it'll cause Nobara to be suspicious.
Nobara nodded. "Sure thing. Fushiguro would be an easy baby. I wonder if they retain their adult brains or if it's reverted back to a baby brain?"
Her question got you thinking, and you didn't know the answer to it either. "I don't really know. I guess we'll have to see when they're back to normal." You shrugged, walking over to the babies and removing the phone from their view.
You extended your arms out and ushered Yuji to come. "Yuji, come here." Then you bend your knees a bit lower so it'll be easier for him to come through. "Come here!" You sweetly said as your voice was soothing like excessive honey dripping down a honeycomb.
That's when Yuji's big eyes lit up and a big giggle left his mouth. He was very excited to see you. "AH!" His arms flapped and he crawled towards you as you immediately scooped him in your arms before he fell off the couch.
Oh my gosh! He's sooooo adorable! He's a bit heavy but I don't care! Yep, he's my baby! Your heart was dying from holding Yuji. You were head over heels for him. This made you forget that he's actually a grown teenager. His baby form was just fooling you.
Your other hand, which wasn't under Yuji's bum to hoist him up, was lightly pinching his cheeks. "Oh it's sooooo soft and squishy!" For some reason just having a baby in your arm increased your dopamine and made you extremely happy. "'Mmm! Why are you so cute and lovable?!" You gave him a big hug, lightly swinging your body to express your overwhelming feelings pouring out from your chest.
Nobara, on the other hand, blinked repeatedly. She didn't think she'd see this side of you. You looked like a whole new person as you don't show affection to anyone or to anything. Nonetheless, she brushed it off because her two guy friends were cute infants. You both can't help it but be weak hearted against them.
"Y/n, I'm feeling good today. Let's go to the aquarium."
You didn't object to the idea since your mind told you to do something fun with baby Yuji. You were just so elated all because of the babies.
/
Nobara strolled them into the aquarium as you walked next to her. You guys bought a two seat stroller instead of buying singular ones.
Inside the aquarium was a bit dark with big blue tanks covering most of the walls. There were many different fishes swimming around in the water. It ranged from big to small, and red to black.
"Look, Yuji!" You hastily unbuckled Yuji from the stroller and brought him closer to the glass barrier. "Do you see the shark?!" You happily smiled, pointing at the big shark which was swimming in your direction.
Flicking your eyes at Yuji, you saw his face light up like he saw something magnificent that moved his tiny little heart. He squealed loudly, bouncing his body up and down due to his excitement. His eyes widened from the gigantic sight of the shark in front of him.
Even though you're not a mom, you felt like one in the moment. Baby Yuji really was messing with your heart. You're going to go into cardiac arrest pretty soon.
"Oh my gosh! Why are you so adorable?!" You grunted, squishing your face against his. Yuji didn't try to pull away, he let you snuggle with him.
"Dang, y/n really flipped a switch," Nobara observed from afar, pushing Megumi as he was very quiet and relaxed. Nothing amused him unlike Yuji. "Come on, Fushiguro, you can't be glum forever. Have fun like Yuji is."
Just running around and showing Yuji all the marine animals swelled your heart. He giggled so much and his expression was mesmerizing. Even as a baby, he's so fearless. You took him to a section where people could touch some of the sea animals and he loved it. Yuji didn't cry but grinned widely like when he snatched a starfish from the water to show you.
You took a lot of pictures, capturing the moments where you and baby Yuji were having so much fun with Nobara and baby Megumi in the back.
The four of you guys finally sat down after exploring the aquarium. Baby Megumi stayed seated in the stroller because he didn't want to be held, whereas baby Yuji sat on your lap, laying his head on your chest. You really loved the feeling of snuggling with him since he's so tiny compared to you, and most babies enjoyed being held and protected.
Running your hand through his fluffy hair, you and Nobara were talking.
"Now that I think about it… What do we feed babies?" Nobara asked out of nowhere, feeling the heavy responsibility as you guys weren't baby experts.
"Uhhh, I guess we'll ask the internet 'cause Satoru doesn't know anything about babies."
"We didn't buy diapers or wipes…"
/
After coming back home and changing the two babies, it was already night time.
"Hopefully they revert back to their original state," Nobara exasperated since it's a lot of work to take care of a baby. She knows they're cute but they're draining, and she missed her freedom of being baby-free.
"If not, we're going to beat up Satoru for lying to us." You joked, waltzing your way to Yuji's bedroom. You didn't want to take him home with you in case unforeseen circumstances were to arise. It's going to be hard to juggle a baby while fighting off whatever's happening in the background.
You chose Yuji's room since it's easier on you.
Placing Yuji on his bed, you held his side and lowered yourself down to be at eye-level with him. "Yuji, I'm going to sleep on the ground and you sleep on the bed. I'll make sure you don't fall over because I'll barricade your body. Are you okay with that?"
As if Yuji understood everything you said, he immediately started crying his eyes out. His loud wails bounced off the walls, and you immediately pulled him into your chest, hushing and rocking him so he's no longer shedding tears.
"Do you not want that?" Your voice was light and airy as you spoke kindly to him.
Yuji lifted his head up and shook it, saying no to your question. His little fingers gripped your shirt tightly, not letting you go as he forced you to stay with him.
Your heart was squealing because he's so innocent and pure. "Okay, y/n will sleep with you!" You treated Yuji delicately and kindly since he's so fragile and sensitive. It hurts you to see him cry.
Yuji laid in your right arm as the blanket was pulled over. You made a weird face when you smelled Yuji's natural scent flying up to your nostrils. He smells good. It's somewhat of a fruity scent, but I feel like a creep invading his privacy because I'm sleeping in his bed! You wanted to hit yourself when your head started to create a false image of Yuji spooning you in his bed. It felt like that but you knew it wasn't yet it gave you butterflies.
Your face flushed, hitting your head so those thoughts could go away. "That's not okay! It's time to sleep, not play with your imagination! Goodnight, Yuji!" You stroked his chubby cheeks and fell asleep with him. You really hoped he wouldn't remember anything once he recovered from the curse technique.
The next day later…
"HUH?!"
You woke up to baby Yuji in your arms. He hasn't transformed back to his teenager body at all. He's curled in a small ball as his back faces you, sleeping like an angel.
Wide eyed, you sighed and got ready for the day. You need to see Gojo as soon as possible because it's either he got his calculation wrong about their temporary baby form or they're cursed for good. That's all on Gojo, not you. He set them up for disaster.
Changing Yuji into his new diapers and clothes, you attached him to your waist and marched off to find Gojo.
"I can't believe you have to be a baby for god's know how long!" You assumed it was a pain in the ass to be a baby. They're just helpless creatures that can't fend for themselves and need to be taken care of. It made you wonder if you're even doing a good job at tending his needs.
You slammed the door open to the teacher lounge and found Gojo reading a magazine in a chair.
"Who could this angry student be?" He pondered and turned around to be shocked at what he saw. "What?! He's still a baby?!" This freaked him out because he's never wrong until today.
"Yeah he is!"
"Mine is too!" Nobara burst through the door, presenting baby Megumi in her arms.
"Mmm, I guess it's longer than I thought it'd be. Just wait a few more days—"
"Nobara, do you hear that? I think he said he's going to watch them until they're back to normal, right?" You didn't ask for this. You trusted Gojo's words that it'll only take 24 hours. Now it's his turn to take responsibility for his actions.
Nobara nodded, eyeing Gojo so he knew he couldn't escape. "Yes, I heard that too."
However, Gojo zoomed off before you guys could trap him.

You stayed at the dormitory whereas Nobara went out with Megumi.
You decided to let Yuji play with some sensory art you created instead of watching tv or the phone. You're not sure if he'll get tired of technology since you don't know what goes on in his little brain. At least his brain is going to be stimulated by the things he touches.
Capturing every moment with him, you praised him for being a quick learner and being so brave. You let him get dirty so he could have fun and laugh. His cute and high pitched laughters were contagious to your heart. You enjoyed this and it made you a bit sad that you're not going to care for a baby anymore.
Then you were playing with Yuji as you threw him in the air and caught him. He couldn't stop giggling and smiling from ear to ear. He was having so much fun being tossed. "Is that Yuji I hear laughing?! Is flying so fun?!" Although you were just his caretaker, you felt so many deep emotions attached to him. You wondered if this is what your parents felt when you were born: the overwhelming bundle of joy they swore to protect with their body and soul because they didn't want their baby to never stop smiling. You felt like that with Yuji, possibly because he's a person you grew close to.
"Let's go to the courtyard!"
You watched Yuji play in his environment. He grabbed leaves, grass, and even bugs to proudly show you what he picked up.
Damn taking care of a baby makes me want to have one, but I don't know if I ever want any. Never thought about being a mother because I don't want anything to happen to my child. I'll possibly end the bloodline with me—no kids, just me. No more pain and suffering.
/
You and baby Yuji were tucked in bed. He fell asleep first as you prayed he would revert back to normal. You love his baby form, but it's time for this to end. Baby Yuji turned you into an owl because babies can't sense danger so you had to keep an eye on him if you weren't holding him.
"Goodnight, Yuji. I want the curse to go away!"
Closing your eyes, you slowly drifted to sleep.
The next morning, you were subconsciously awake but didn't want to fully wake up. You tried turning in your sleep yet you couldn't. It felt like you were bolted to the bed as it prevented you from shifting, and you didn't know what it was because you were sleeping with a baby. This thought concerned you as you knew you weren't dreaming whatsoever, so you managed to open an eye. Your vision was a bit blurry, and you glanced downwards to find an arm wrapped around you. It looked like a grown adult's arm as it's somewhat veiny and toned.
Mmm? What is this? Who is this? I should wake up... Your brain couldn't register anything. The arm looked so bizarre yet familiar, but you closed your eyes again because you were still tired.
A few minutes later, you woke up to something heavy on your back. It felt as if a big rolling pin was trying to flatten you out. This gave your heart a massive panic attack, causing your eyes to fly open. You breathed harshly from your nostrils and your eyes darted to the same arm from earlier.
Why didn't I wake up sooner?! What if I was kidnapped?! Where— You stopped talking to yourself when you realized that you're still in Yuji's room. There's no way you were kidnapped. Your heart calmed down just a little bit, but it didn't answer the big elephant in the room. Whose arm was that?
Slowly without making loud rustling noises on the bed, you anchored your head backwards and grew extremely red. Your face was redder than mars and hotter than the sun. You were centimeters away from touching lips with Teenager Yuji, and as a matter of fact, your eyes trickled downwards and noticed he was naked. This information threw your brain into a heavy spiral because now you fully believe he's not wearing anything to cover his lower half of his body.
Your stomach cramped up, and you know it's not butterflies but fear and embarrassment. "OH MY GOSH!" You yelped, rolling off the bed as the sheet and blanket got tangled around one of your legs and fell with you. Now half of the covers were with you, resulting in Yuji waking up from his sleep.
"Mmm?" Yuji grunted, rubbing his eyes from the loud ruckus in his room.
At the same time, you were trying to escape. Your hands were busy unwrapping the layers of blanket and sheet off your leg, but it seemed like god wanted you to spot Yuji naked and be ashamed that you were caught red handed and be deemed as a pervert.
Come on! Come on! It shouldn't take this long to set myself free! You were sweating really hard as you fought against time. Your clammy hands couldn't stop shaking in fear. It kept messing up, leading you back to square one.
Meanwhile, Yuji sat up, acknowledging that he's back in his room and reverted back to his original form. "Oh hey, I'm back to normal now!" He cheered loudly, feeling very happy that he's no longer a baby who has to be taken care of.
I am fucked! You knew you're going to get caught now he's fully awake.
Yuji's ears detected something underneath his bed that he leaned over and saw you squirming with the sheet wrapped around your leg. "Hey y/n, how'd you fall off my bed—"
"TURN AWAY!" You yelled, standing up and running away with the tangled mess. You didn't care anymore; you wanted out and away from his room.
Yuji tilted his head to the side. "Huh? What just happened?" He was visibly confused by your odd reaction. You're never flustered but he definitely saw how red your ears were. They were bright red.
When Yuji jumped off his bed, he felt goosebumps crawling on his skin as the chilly air bit him. Now he realized he's naked from top to bottom, and everything made sense to why you acted that way. "She must've seen everything! That's why she's all red! Ahhhh, I need to apologize to her!" Yuji ran out after throwing on some clothes.
