[ he's had the thought before: that he wants more good people to experience fairness, if only a few. and: he is not a good person. and: so fairness, happiness...what has it to do with him? he is here as a jujutsushi as collateral for financial support. perhaps somewhat over time because he can do this job. and now more and more his mind focuses towards itadori. happy? he doesn't know what to say when both yes and no feel like a lie. ]

I don't know how to answer that.
Again it's not something I think about.

[ not for himself, anyway, not his own...feelings. ]

[mightswitch]

So ...
You wouldn't mind being alone for the rest of your life?

[ one last question. not that there's any progress when it comes to understanding his mindset. itadori never thought it was this ... complicated? ]

[unequally]

I'm not alone at the moment, in life, I mean.

[ he is purposefully of course reading that differently. perhaps gojou has had SOME influence....more than megumi meant him to anyway. ]

[mightswitch]

[ he had a mini panic attack, but then remembered who he's talking to. surely, he misunderstood.

yes .... ]

You know what I mean.

[unequally]

Hopefully I won't be alone.

[ it is an answer sort of isn't it? that he...hopes he won't be means he wouldn't be okay with it. he wants itadori to live, wants tsumiki to wake up. doesn't frankly want to lose anyone else. but it is sort of scary (he wouldn't admit it) to want to not be alone...when he knows he probably will be. this might be gojou's influence too. or the complete negative space where one fushiguro toji existed even if megumi can't remember him. well. it's hard to say. ]

[mightswitch]

Okay, my turn!

[ watch and learn. this is how you communicate! ✨✨✨✨✨ ]

I don't want to be alone. In fact, I really hate the idea of being alone. It's more fun when you have someone by your side, to support you and look out for you, and you do the same of course!

I understand it can be irresponsible to start something, considering our work and the, uh, thing inside of me? so, I'll be very careful about it, make sure they are safe, and they are strong enough to handle it, but I still want to TRY. You get it?

1/2

[unequally]

I don't want you to be alone either.

2/2

[unequally]

[ and well, more or less? facehands at that impulsive first text...what's gotten into him? ... ]

I think I get it.

[ he's thinking about what itadori said to him before: i think your way is right. but that doesn't mean my way is wrong. that might apply here too. ]

[mightswitch]

That's why, I hope, one day-

You'll be more accepting, more willing, so we can be happy together. We both deserve it, and we both should try for it.

[ well— have some honesty. ]

[unequally]

[ he knows saying 'i don't deserve it' won't go anywhere with itadori, so he doesn't say it. but he does think itadori at last deserves to be happy. it takes him a while to formulate a reply. ]

That would be good. If it was possible.

[ he's...doing his best.... ]

[mightswitch]

Promise me you'll try?

[ 'even when I'm no longer here' — but adding that is just too gloomy. ]

[unequally]

I might ask you to remind me, sometimes.

[ and so: you can't die. ]

[mightswitch]

I can do that!

[ reminding him, but not the 'don't die' part HASGDK; he has a record, okay!! ]

We're still going out on our next day off!
No maid cafes this time. I promise.

[unequally]

Where are we going?

[ megumi takes that record personally both present and future and he does not Agree don't you dare! ]

[mightswitch]

It's a surprise 😎

[ oh no. ]

[unequally]

...a hint?

[ s t a r e s ]

[mightswitch]

If you really want to know, ask me nicely.
Like-

'please, yuuji-kun! ♥'

[ he wouldn't be this brave in person. ]

oh my god

[unequally]

[ every day megumi wakes up and has to choose violence. well. if they were in person. smart move, yuuji-kun. ]

Never mind.

HE TRIED

[mightswitch]

[ he's spending way too much time with Gojou ... ]

You're not being so cute right now ...

LMFAO THE ICON TOO IM /flips off table

[unequally]

[ the hard facts.... ]

I wasn't trying to be cute?

JHSDJS; kugisaki and itadori annoying him is my happy place

[mightswitch]

To be fair, you don't need to try.
You're naturally cute.

[ it might sound sleazy, but he's actually being genuine. ]

Ok, fine.
I was thinking to volunteer in an animal shelter, so I'm taking you with me.

You like animals, don't you?

megumi stares into the sun....

[unequally]

[ Self consciously ARTFULLY dodges that first set of comments...by not commenting back at all ha.jpeg ]

That sounds good.

[ so yes, and yes.......yes please.

why does he feel self conscious? or...is this....kind of...happy????? ... ]

stares at his cup ....

[mightswitch]

And then we can go to dinner.
A nice place.
You and me ...

[ oh, smooth.

a dinner he can't afford, but surely Gojou will happily lend him some cash? since they are in cahoots ... ]

the cutest cup!!!! ;3;

[unequally]

[ it is probably for the best that for now megumi doesn't realize that........................... ]

What about the place you brought me soup from before?

[ megumi would basically go along with anything, a meal is a meal, and in his head at least he is not being treated (little does he know) but he remembers yuuji saying well of that place. though somewhere new is fine too. you know. whatever. megumi's mind mostly rn: animal shelter! animals! animals! .... in another life he might've been a vet or something... ]

one day itadori will take it

[mightswitch]

[ you know, he wanted to take megumi somewhere fancy, follow the normal protocols of a 'first date', but somehow— in its simplicity, and the significance of that small, traditional restaurant made it perfect for them.

it could be their spot. their place. ugh, why is he smiling over this? ]

That's a good idea.
So
It's a date!
