[ Nanami can't seem to tell how his words land with Yuji lately. The boy bottles up so much that Nanami can only make attempts to soothe him and hope they do what he hopes. He knows it's just Yuji's way of coping, of dealing with the heavy burdens he carries, and so he does not want to push or make Yuji feel like he's burdening Nanami at all by coming to him with this. He's so, so grateful that Yuji would open up to him at all.
He's quiet, petting Yuji's hair and listening to him sniffle for a moment. He wonders if he should remain here, keep Yuji company, or leave him to rest on his own. He thinks the boy needs rest, honestly. He doesn't look like he's been sleeping well. Maybe Nanami can stay until he falls asleep. ]
You're welcome, Itadori-kun. [ . . . ] You should lay down, try and get some rest.
[ Here's the thing: Yuji does not expect Nanami to stay. He does not expect anything other than to be left to curl up in the bed and to cope with his grief all by himself, because that's what he's used to doing these days. When he's been given time to process the hurt and pain he's felt, the only way he has been able to deal with it has been to bury it, to force himself to suffer it and shoulder it until he's able to stand up again.
It feels like the same this time.
Lifting his hand, he rubs at his eyes - red and sore, the crying taking it out of him - before he sighs and gives Nanami an awkward little bow of thanks. ]
[ Nanami is surprised by the dismissal because, well, that wasn't his plan at all. He still plans to stay until Yuji falls asleep but he also worries now that he's be intruding in a way Yuji doesn't want. His mouth pulls into a thin line as he considers it.
Well, he might as well ask, to make sure they're both clear. ]
I was thinking of staying until you fell asleep as I don't want to leave you alone. But if you don't want me to, I can leave now instead.
[ He leaves it open ended from there because he doesn't want to pressure Yuji. It's up to him, if he desires the comfort or not. He just doesn't want him to feel alone in this. ]
[ Yuji... Didn't expect that. He's more accustomed to dealing with this kind of thing alone, because... Well, everyone who would comfort him is long gone, other than Choso, and he's a little overbearing. The idea of Nanami sticking around just to take care of him or make sure he's okay...
It makes his eyes well up again, and he rubs his face furiously. ]

Thank you for coming to see me.
[ As if it's a dismissal! ]
