'i'm so... bored....' yuji thought to himself, clicking through different tv channels. he was sprawled out on the couch in some flannel pajama pants and a tee shirt. he had been home alone for about six hours straight. megumi had been on campus all day. yuji had no idea what he could possibly be doing. no amount of studying or school work should take six hours. he started to pity the guy. megumi loved going to school but this workload had to be exhausting. yuji started to get gloomy thinking about how many things megumi had to do everyday.
the front door opened, causing yuji to sit up, excited to finally have some company. "megumi!" he called out, dragging out the last vowel sound.
megumi rounded the corner, revealing his dishevelled figure to yuji. he looked like he had gotten beat up. his lip was busted and his legs were scraped up, and dripping blood. on top of that, he was dizzy. the poor guy was so busy, he forgot to eat before he went on his daily run.
"megumi..." yuji gasped, staring at him with wide, confused eyes.
"yu..." megumi mumbled, before collapsing onto their living room floor.
yuji yelped, scrambling up from the couch. kuro and shiro started whimpering from inside their crates, nervous about what's happened to their best friend. this only stressed yuji out more. he fumbled onto the ground, rolling megumi onto his back and propping him up against the couch at the same time. his pretty face was all scraped up and a small bruise was forming on his cheek.
"what the fuck happened to you?" yuji said outloud, mostly to himself. he ran his thumb over megumi's bleeding lip.
"i fell..." megumi grunted, coming back to consciousness. he shifted, putting himself in a more comfortable position. yuji furrowed his brows.
"no shit, dude. i just watched that happen. why are you all... fucked up?" he grumbled, his stress growing. he cupped megumi's face in his palm, turning his head to the side to get a better view of his scrapes.
megumi pouted. "on my run..." he started to get embarrassed. "it was dark outside and i was running on an unlit street because it was a shorter route home. but i couldn't see and i ended up tripping over things like four times. i already felt like shit because i haven't eaten all day..."
yuji was about lose his mind. "you haven't eaten all day?! and then you went for a run? what the hell were you thinking?"
megumi chuckled softly, and then winced. "since when do you swear so much?"
"since you decided to starve yourself and then almost break your nose!" yuji grumbled, trudging into their supply closet for a first aid kit. megumi smiled softly to himself, admiring how much yuji was fussing over him. he stomped back over to megumi, crouching down next to him with a cotton ball in hand. he soaked it in an antibacterial spray and held it up to megumi's face.
it was quiet. yuji scrunched his nose, focusing hard on what he was doing. he started dabbing the scrape on megumi's cheekbone, wiping it clean. megumi winced, the medicine burning a tiny bit. then yuji took a warm, damp rag and carefully wiped it across megumi's bottom lip. his lip was tender and the motion caused a dull pain. he took a moment to glance at yuji. his face was still scrunched up, concentrated. megumi thought it was cute. yuji was too focused on cleaning his face to notice the eyes on him. after a moment, he took megumi's hand in his.
"here," he said softly, pressing the rag into his hand. "keep this pressed against your lip while i take care of you legs."
megumi hummed, doing as told. he watched yuji carefully examine his shins. there were several cuts here and there, a few deeper than others. yuji clicked his tongue, wetting another cotton ball with antibacterial spray. he cleaned up the cuts on megumi’s leg and then softly blew on them, his lips forming a tiny ‘o’. megumi knew that that was pretty unsanitary, but he didn’t care. he was just happy he was getting taken care of (and by yuji, no less). then, he began unwrapping bandages and placing them across his cuts. once he was finished, he slumped back next to megumi against the couch. he sighed.
megumi glanced over at him, then stared into his scraped up hands. “sorry i didn’t come home sooner.”
yuji leaned to this side, almost leaning on megumi’s shoulder. he took his hands in his.
“hey, why didn’t you let me clean these up?” yuji asked, grabbing some spray. megumi pulled his hands from him, a blush spreading across his cheeks.
“it’s not as big of a deal.” he mumbled, folding his arms across his chest.
yuji furrowed his brows. "it's the biggest deal." he grabbed the boys hands, examining them in his own. megumi looked away, grumbling to himself. "you use your hands everyday. it's important that they're taken care of." he carefully sprayed a medicated spay across megumi's pale palms. he watched them dry, then wrapped a thin bandage around both of them. megumi looked at his hands when yuji was done.
he felt so much better. the ache that was running through his body before had subsided and the only pain he felt was in his chest. a tightening that he couldn't explain. he felt it most when yuji looked at him, brows knitted and eyes full of worry.
"next time you're having a rough day, please call me. chances are, i'm free." he paused, moving his mouth around, as if he were searching for the right words. "i… care about you a lot."
megumi stared at him, wide eyed and at a loss for words. "okay... thank you. and i'm sorry."
yuji chuckled, standing up and stretching. then he turned around and held out a hand for megumi. "don't apologize. now, sit down. i wanna watch tv with you."
the boys spent the rest of the night on the couch. they sat close, absorbing the heat of the other. there was something sweet and comfortable in the silence in the room. as if all they needed was to be right next to each other, warm and taken care of.

[JJK Masterlist] [Part 1 & 2] [Part 3]
🔅Word Count: 2.2K
"...Should I... open it...?" You asked yourself quietly, looking down on your phone as you stared at the multiple notifications you received from Toge.
13 missed calls
31 new messegaes
All unopened, all unanswered.
Slowly, you hover your finger over to his chat box, however, you hesitate- quickly shutting off your phone and plopping down on the soft mattress where you sat.
While the rest of the Okkotsu family went out to watch the movies, you decided to stay in the house by yourself. "You should come...! I'm sure it will help lift your spirits." Mrs. Okkotsu offered, to which you kindly declined her offer.
You figured you needed some time to be alone for now, but the lack of presence in the house ended up cauing a deafening silence to fill the halls, creating more opportunities for you to overthink the recent events between you and Toge.
'...I wonder... what did he say...'
'...why am I so scared to read it...?'
Over the past two days, you've been comfortably staying over Yuta's family home in the city. But since Yuta wasn't there at the moment, his parents and sister have been kindly accomodating you the entire time.
You were incredibly embarassed and reluctant to stay over, afraid of becoming only a nuisance to the Okkotsu family, especially since current situation between you and Toge was not at all very dire, just an arguement between two lovers.
Fortunately, Yuta and his mother were understanding and very insistent that you were welcome for as long as you'd like. Afterall, you were also one of Yuta's closest friends.
Trying your best to not cause them too much trouble, you help out with minor chores like the dishes, setting up the table, throwing out the trash- but each time you do so, you were met with gentle scolding.
"We told you to rest! You're still very hurt!"
"No no no, you're a guest, put that down!"
"We are not letting you wash the plates. Go back to bed and lie down for a nap! We'll bring you some snacks later."
"Nonsense! You are not a burden! You are a good friend of Yuta, and he asked us to take care of you, so sit down and don't worry about us."
Though that did seem to reduce the amount of guilt you felt, you were still rather embarassed for staying over someone else's family home just to hide from an ongoing dispute with Toge. So, you figured you shouldn't overstay your welcome, at least.
You look at your phone once again, staring at Toge's contact name as you remember your last encounter with him.
Staring at the ceiling above, you allow the memories from the incident flood your mind once more- remembering the sorrow, the pain, the sadness....
The entire time you knew Toge, he had always felt like the safest person to be around with, and you trusted him more than anyone- be it about your safety or your feelings. Naturally, the shock from accidentally getting cursed would shaken you up quite a lot.
You were badly hurt, both physically and emotionally.
And even for a short moment, you even felt afraid of him for the first time.
A feeling you knew would devastate him if he knew.
As shy as you were to admit it, all you did the entire day after the incident was quiety cry inside the guest bedroom in Yuta's home.
You can say that you rather had mixed feelings about the whole thing. Not a moment has passed in which you weren't thinking about it.
At first, it was shock, then fear, followed by pain before sadness, eventually leading to worry- the feeling you were experiencing right now.
Why 'worry'? You think to yourself, curious as to why there was this sense of longing to see him despite the accident.
It was a strange feeling in your chest. Most certainly, you were still very much upset and hurt about what he had done to you, but still-
"...I wonder how he must feel right now..." You hug the pillow nearest to you closer to your chest, unable to stray away the concern you felt for him.
Perhaps it was the way he looked at you the moment he misused his speech on you. The way Toge's eyes expressed so much shock, the way his voice was filled with so much guilt and fear... You have never seen him act in such a way before, especially considering the fact that he was always the more calm and composed one between the two of you.
You couldn't get the desperate tone of his voice out of your head, and you frequently find yourself vividly remembering the panicked expression he displayed on his face.
"...He must be worried..." You whisper to the pillow you held tightly, your eyelids closing as you replay the events of the accident.
More than anyone, you understood him the most, and you knew that this must be really messing up his mind right now.
It was one of his deepest fears, hurting someome he loves unintentionally with his speech, and you knew how deep this sort of wound would cut him on the inside.
More so, there was also the fact that Toge had personally witnessed the tragic events that happened to his allies in Shibuya... not to mention the fact that he had also been heavily pinning the blame on himself for the death of innocent civilians' lives.... lives which he felt responsible of protecting, all because he led them to take shelter to the same area Sukuna had unleashed his Malevolent Shrine.
'Truly...' you thought.
'this must be really messing up his mind right now....'
You turn over to your side, eyes staring blankly into the empty air in front of you.
"...He was distant and acting different from what happened in Shibuya afterall... I know he didn't mean to hurt me..." you whispered quietly, trying to think of how to address the situation.
You sat up, your hand firmly grasping your phone, a hesitant but concerned tone evident in your voice "I... don't want to make him feel any worse than he already does..."
Without a doubt, Toge was always so good to you. So protective, so understanding, so kind, so loving...
He was always there for you at your lowest points... and you never even had the chance to return such comfort to him before, so you think to yourself:
'...it's my turn.'
Your previous attempt to aid his sorrow didn't end up so well, but that's why you were willing to try again; To try again for him.
He probably hasn't been consoled ever since the incindent in Shibuya either. You, Panda, Yuta, or even Maki hadn't heard from him the entire time, and that's considering that all of you are his closest friends.
You ponder about it, and then you realize he probably wouldn't have ended up hurting you by accident or behaving so distant towards everyone if he had just allowed himself to be comforted- to be held and be told 'it's okay.'
...And you couldn't help but want to be that person who does that for him.
The more you thought about this, the more you wanted to see him.
You already released all the shock, hurt, and sadness for the past few days through a few weeping sessions in the small guest room before, and you think it's about time to come out of hiding.
You try to gain back your composure.
"...I wonder where he is... I hope... he's not pushing himself." You glance at your wallpaper, looking at a picture of Toge holding up a silly little peace sign while he sat next to a cute little dog you randomly met on the street.
You couldn't help but chuckle softly for a moment, then, your smile slowly fades back to form a serious expression on your face.
You miss the smile in his eyes like in the photo.
The idea of him in such sadness, worry, and pain ended up hurting you just as much as well.
"...I should talk to him."
So, you unlock your phone, open messages, and look for his contact name once again.
His contact nickname and his silly little photo appear.
'Bonito Flakes'
"...There."
Just when you were about to tap his name, you paused.
"Uh... wait... what should I say...?"
You pull back your thumb from the screen, suddenly having a bit of a panic on how to address the situation.
"..How do I reach out to him...? What... did he text me..? Is he upset with me? Is he looking for me...?"
His last text was from yesterday night, so you weren't sure what should be the best mood to approach him at this moment.
Just then, as if fate had timed this moment perfectly, a notification suddenly pops up on the top of your screen.
1 new message from Bonito Flakes
You gasped, completely taken aback from seeing his name.
'Wait... I'm not ready...!!'
You panicked slightly, causing you to drop your phone on the hard wood floor by accident, a loud thump echoing throughout the room. Fortunately, the Okkotsu family still hasn't returned from their outing yet, otherwise, you'd give them another reason to be worried about you.
You sigh, picking it back up as you lightly shook your head to gain back your composure.
As you check your sceen, you see another text from Toge come in.
Then another.
And another.
It made you slightly nervous but curious as to what his multiple texts were saying right now, and it sort of made you even more worried to know what he sent.
Is he sad? Does he need you? Is he just reaching out? Is he leaving the school? Does he want to distance himself from you?
"I'll... wait a little..."
Ultimately, you decided to let him finish sending his messages before you view it.
He sent quite a handful of texts, and it took a while before the messages stopped coming in. But just to be sure, you waited for a few minutes in case he had any late follow ups.
"I'll.... wait a little more..." You whisper to yourself as you stare at the phone in front of you, hoping to view his messages during a time when he's offline- You just wanted to make sure there was enough time for you to process and react to his texts without the pressure of him waiting for your response.
But the green dot next to his profile picture was still lit up, meaning, that he would be able to immediately see your replies the moment you send it.
But you would prefer he only sees it AFTER you're done sending your responses.
Sighing heavily, you whisper once more '...I guess I'll wait again...'
You check again after a few minutes, it was still green. So you wait again.
More time had passed but still- the green dot remained.
You wait again.
It was all you could think about for the past few hours as you move back and forth from checking your phone to lying down, staring into nothing...
Untul finally, at hour three, the green dot turns dim.
And with that, you were left with no excuse to delay opening your inbox any longer. "...alright... here we go.... I guess..."
With a hefty sigh and a single tap of your finger, you open his inbox.
Your eyes widened suddenly, immediate shock at the realization.
With a quickened pace, you hurridly limped towards the nearest window, the cast on your leg creating a slight scratching sound as you drag it across the floor.
Pulling away the curtains, you scan the street below in search for the white haired boy.
You squint your eyes slightly, trying to adjust your eyes to the darkness of the night.
Then, you see him.
"He... he's still there...?"
On the opposite side of the street, there sat Toge on the small pavement across from Yuta's house.
His head rested on his arm and his head hung low, perhaps taking a bit of a nap as he waited for your reply.
A wave of guilt suddenly washes over you as you realize how long you've made him wait out in the cold for a single reply.
You text him.
Toge???? Why did you wait for me?
You look drenched, what happened???
How long have you been there???
But your messages didn't seem to get through, not showing a mark of it being delivered.
"His phone battery must've died...."
Instictively, you hurried out the room with a more detemined expression, carefully treading the stairs with your injured leg, and rushed out the door.
Unintentionally, the noise of opening the door a little too quickly echoed across the dead silent street, casuing Toge to immediately jolt himself awake.
He made eye contact with you while he remained seated across the street, shocked at your sudden appearance.
Embarassed for startling him, you slightly lose your confidence and shy away from his gaze, a small lump in your throat preventing you from voicing out any words.
Toge stood up slowly, his eyes widen but his chest beated out of nervousness.
He doesn't expect anything positve, but still, he remained hopeful, as much as he felt like he didn't deserve you.
"...um...." you started, hoping to break the akward silence that filled the air.
"...I-...."
"....."
"....p-...please, come in...."

sooo... nonchalant - ITAFUSHI (part 1)
notes: literally everybody knows that megumi fushiguro has big, gay crush on yuji itadori. everybody knows. and megumi thought he was hiding it so well. LOL. this is kinda like coffee shop au, but not. just trust me guys. also university au! word ct: 1.5k
"please? i really need the hours and we're always packed on saturdays. just let me come in. i can come in late so labor won't be too high or whatever. like 9pm. just please." megumi was about ten second away from getting on his knees. his manager just stared at him, confused and exhausted.
"fushiguro... why do you want to work saturday night so bad?" his manager asked.
the manager knew why. hell, everybody in that damn gym knew why megumi fushiguro wanted to work saturday night.
"because..." megumi blushed, looking away. "because my roommate is having his girlfriend over and i don't wanna be home then..."
LIE!
it was because megumi fushiguro knows that on saturdays at 10pm, yuji itadori comes to the university gym for upper body day. and at 10:45pm, yuji itadori walks over to the university gyms smoothie bar and orders a 20oz strawberry banana smoothie with a scoop of protein powder and a handful of spinach. and then he sits down on the stools at the bar and scrolls through his phone for approximately 15 minutes before taking out the keys to his red 2019 bmw and going home.
"that's the only reason..." megumi gulped, avoiding the intense and all-knowing eye contact from his manager.
the manager rolled his eyes. "fine, whatever. just don't creep out the customers."
megumi sighed. "i'm not creepy. i'm normal... and chill."
he's not chill. he's totally crazy about this guy.
hair, styled. skin, moisturized. nails, manicured. teeth, whitened. it was finally saturday night and megumi was ready to see yuji itadori for work.
he walked up to the gym entrance, tucking his keys in his pocket and smoothing his unruly hair down as much as possible (it isn't possible). he walked behind the counter, clocked in, washed his hands and then made his way to the register. he looked up and had to hold in a scream. there stood yuji itadori. he was wearing sweat pants and a muscle shirt, that fit just right. hot! and it was... 9:32pm!?! he's totally early for his workout!
"what are you doing here?" megumi yelped. creepy! "i mean, what... can i get for you?"
"i'm just here to workout." yuji smiled at the boy. "but i think i'll just get a strawberry banana smoothie with... a scoop of protein powder and some spinach, please."
"sure, thing. just a 20oz?" megumi asked, already knowing the answer.
"yea, thanks." with that, yuji paid and then walked over to the waiting area. megumi made his smoothie quickly, thinking about that god-awful interaction and trying to decipher why yuji was ordering his smoothie over an hour early. and, god! he thought he looked hot after his workout, but seeing him before?! his shoulders were broad and his biceps were just perfect. and his hair was messy but not as messy as it usually was. and he smelled... so good. almost like strawberries-
"oh shit." megumi had overblended the smoothie. quickly, he dumped out the liquidy smoothie and remade it. paying closer attention this time.
"i’ve got a 20oz strawberry banana smoothie." megumi called out. yuji glanced up from his phone and made his way to the counter. megumi held out the smoothie and a straw, a small smile on his face.
"thanks, man." yuji took a sip after sticking the straw in. then he said, "you were expecting me a little later, huh?"
megumi's heart fell into his stomach. 'shit! he's onto me! he knows i know his workout schedule! i'm totally creepy... i need to quit this job and move to a different school. what is wrong with me-'
"uh.." megumi chuckled awkwardly and glanced around, trying to play it cool. "what, uh... what are you talking about?"
yuji slurped up his smoothie. "i usually show up to get this smoothie at like 10:45. but it's barely even 9:40. i'm early."
"oh..." megumi shifted. "i don't really pay attention to stuff like that. i mean, i see a lot of customers so it's hard for me to memorize that sort of thing." he lied like a rug.
"i see." yuji smirked. "well, i'm gonna go get these gains."
megumi nodded, watching him walk away. “oh, all the bicep curl machines are out of commission, by the way. some dude tore them up the other day…”
yuji stopped walking. 'oh no' megumi thought 'i eluded to the fact that he's working out arms today. if i have sooo many customers then why would i know he's working out arms?! god, my manager was right! i'm creepy! i can still drop out of university, i just need to talk to gojo first. he'll help me run away. where should i go... the other side of the country? no, that's not far enough. maybe i'll move the australia-'
"huh… thanks for the heads up. and i'll be back. i wanted to talk to you after my workout." yuji walked away. megumi was freaked way out.
yuji was totally gonna tell him off for being a borderline stalker, and that's totally fair! he needed to leave and fast. he spun around toward his manager's office only to come face to face with said manager.
"hey." megumi gulped. "can i..."
"yes, fushiguro. just go home." he sighed.
after being there for maybe 20 minutes, megumi clocked out and ran to his car.
yuj itadori was covered in sweat. he wanted nothing more than to go home a shower and go to bed. but he had to do this first. he needed to ask out megumi fushiguro.
now, yuji felt pretty confident about asking him out. it was obvious that megumi had a gym crush on him. the way he blushed and stumbled over his words and glanced at his body before making eye contact. it was all so cute. but he wanted to get to know megumi, for real. not the cool, nonchalant front he tried so hard (and failed) to put on. yuji was excited. he walked up to the counter with a big grin on his face.
"hi, what can i get for you?" megumi's manager asked.
"oh... uh, nothing. i thought someone else was working today..."
did megumi not like yuji after all? why would he run away after he said he wanted to talk to him? 'shit, i freaked him out...' yuji couldn't hide the frown on his face.
"expecting the black haired kid?" the manager said.
yuji looked up with big eyes. he nodded quickly.
"god... you two boys. you're stressing every employee at this gym out!"
"what? what do you mean?" yuji yelped, confused and dissapointed. "what did we do?"
"nothing! that's the problem."
with that, yuji gave up. he walked out of the gym with his head hung low. he'll just have to do it another day. if he ever sees him again. he didn't know what to do... he had to phone a friend. someone older, with experience with this kinda thing (the gay dating experience).
"hey, gojo!"
"hey yuji. what's up... it's been a minute!"
"yea... sorry about that. to be honest, i need some advice- if you've got time."
"yea, sure. i'm on my way to my younger brothers house but it's gonna be a minute. talk to me, kid."
yuji spent the next half hour babbling on about megumi, without mentioning his name. he talked about their interactions and how he always thought they were mutually flirting but when he went to ask him out, he got freaked out and fled the scene. now, gojo wasn't the smartest man on the planet but he was starting to put two and two together.
"so... what's this guy look like, anyway?"
"is that important?" yuji sighed.
"not necessarily. just curious about your type, is all." liar. he was just trying to confirm if it was megumi or not.
"well, if you must know- he's tall with dark eyes and dark hair."
that was all gojo needed. he chuckled to himself.
"we have similar taste then..." he paused. "well, it sounds like, to me, that the kid doesn't have a clue how you feel. he probably isn't great at figuring that kinda thing out."
"what makes you so sure?"
"just making assumptions." gojo slowly pulled into the driveway of megumi's apartment. "well, i'm at my brothers house. but text me. let me know if you need any more advice."
"thanks gojo. you sure know your stuff." yuji ended the call.
'yea, you have no idea, kid.' gojo chuckled to himself as he walked up to the topic of conversation's door step. he knocked softly. megumi answered almost immediately. he looked like he'd been hit by a bus.
"hey megumi." gojo smiled at the boy. "boy trouble?"
megumi blinked in confusion. "how'd you know?"
gojo sighed loudly. "how could i not?"
