[ The desire to unbuden himself and share his pain and suffering with someone who might be strong enough to handle it is overpowering, but Yuji is determined, and that strikes more than anything else. There's no way he's going to let anything ruin the happiness that Gojo-sensei and Nanamin seem to have found here, especially not him. Haven't they both already been through enough because they know him? Haven't they suffered enough because of their relationship with him?
He can't keep causing them pain. He can't.
The ruffle to his hair has him sniffling again, so pleased to have any kind of affection and positive reinforcement after weeks of training, suffering, watching Gojo-sensei fight and ultimately - well. He doesn't want to think about it. It's too fresh, and Yuji can feel his heart aching from the very idea of it all. The tighter he holds all these secrets against his chest, the easier it will be, in the long run. He's sure of that.
Finally, he manages something of a smile, watching Gojo before he nods. ]
... I'll do my best, sensei. Don't grade me too harshly, okay?
[ As if either of them really know what 'taking a break' means... Maybe he did, once, but that was months ago now, when he had a little more of a carefree attitude. ]
