Word Count: 1,205
Summary: At this point, Megumi should've known leaving Itadori and Kugisaki to their own devices could only lead to mischief at his expense.
A/N: Author’s notes can be read on AO3.
Edit: NOW WITH TWO PIECES OF THE CUTEST ART I’VE EVER SEEN 😭
Megumi had told Gojo, several times, to stop texting him so often. It would just make him ignore his surrogate father/teacher/general annoyance’s texts, and eventually miss out on the actual important ones that he needed to see. 
Of course Gojo didn’t listen. So of course Megumi didn’t see his important text until an hour after it had been sent. 
“...Fuck,” he grumbled as he frowned at his phone. He didn’t know why he was the only recipient of the text, but as it was, he had to let Itadori and Kugisaki know about their changed plans for tomorrow. At least the walk was short - Itadori was next door, and Kugisaki was one hall over. 
“Hey, Itadori,” Megumi called through the door, not bothering to knock. 
“Oh, Fushiguro!” 
He could hear his friend’s heavy footfalls as he ran to the door, but his attention was still focused on attempting to parse out Gojo’s texts, even when he heard the door opening. “Hey, man!” 
“Hey, Gojo sent me-” Megumi’s words died on his tongue the moment he looked up from his phone. “...What are you wearing?” 
“What, d’you like it?” 
Megumi didn’t know what he thought. There stood Yuuji Itadori, all 173 cm of muscle and strength, wrapped up in a tiger kigurumi. It was made of soft fleece in shades of bright orange and white, with black stripes and a row of yellow buttons down the front. Itadori’s pink hair peeked out from the hood, somehow complementing the orange, and the outfit combined with his bright smile and warm brown eyes made Megumi’s stomach drop. He looked...adorable. 
“It’s super comfortable! We got one for you too, here, come in, lemme grab it.” 
Before Megumi could fully process Itadori’s chattering, a hand was wrapping around his wrist and tugging him into the room, where he was horrified to see Kugisaki sitting on the floor in a fox kigurumi. “Hey, Fushiguro. Why didn’t you answer our texts?” 
What the fuck is going on? He barely kept himself from asking the question out loud, instead settling on, “What texts?” 
“I told you we got something for you while we were shopping earlier, but you never answered.” She pulled out her phone as she grumbled, opening her texts and scrolling through. “Ah, shit, they never sent. Never mind, you’re here now.” 
“Kugisaki! Which bag had Fushiguro’s kigurumi?” 
“Quit shouting, idiot, I’m right here. Wait, those are my bags, don’t look!” 
Megumi could only watch as his friends very seriously squabbled over the shopping bags, as though they weren’t wearing bright orange animal onesies in the middle of the afternoon. Daily life was already so strange as a jujutsu sorcerer. Maybe he shouldn’t have been so startled over this, especially coming from his simple-minded classmates. 
“Here it is!” Mild horror made a flush creep up his neck when Itadori proudly brandished a swath of black fabric. “Try it on, Fushiguro!” 
“I...I don’t-” 
“Oi, we spent our precious money on this gift for you,” Kugisaki muttered with a blank stare that somehow managed to be threatening. “Don’t make me feel like I wasted my money, or I’ll kick your ass.” 
She would. There was no question of that. 
“Could you guys at least-” 
His request was barely halfway out before the other two theatrically pressed their hands to their eyes and turned away with a drawn out, “Yessir.” They sure could be quick on the uptake when they wanted to be. 
To his deep, utter despair, Itadori had been right. The kigurumi was very comfortable. He had to fight to not look down at the white belly with black buttons, and he refused to pull the hood on. For a moment, he entertained the idea of sneaking out while the other two had their backs turned to him. 
But he waited too long, and with the sound of fabric shuffling falling into silence, Itadori and Kugisaki risked taking a peek over their shoulders. 
“Wahhhhh!!” Itadori immediately cried out with a beaming smile. “It fits you perfectly! Put on the hood now!” 
“No.” 
Itadori’s smile didn’t waver at all, giving Megumi no warning before the other boy leaped forward and unceremoniously flipped the hood over his head. “There we go, perfect!” he cooed, his hands gently ruffling at the floppy ears. “You look like your big, scary dog!” 
“That’s not- it isn’t-” He was good at processing a lot of details at once in the midst of a battle, his hands forming the shapes of his shikigami instinctively while he picked apart his opponent’s weaknesses and abilities. But this? Itadori in his space, hands on his head, all warmth and kindness and beaming smiles? He didn’t know how to process this. This was entirely new to him, and his brain helped him adapt by completely crashing on him, leaving him only able to blink and stammer. 
“Wow,” Kugisaki gasped with a smirk. “We broke him.” 
“I’m not broken,” Megumi finally snapped, jerking back out of Itadori’s reach. “This is just weird. Why’d you guys even buy these?” 
They fell quiet and looked at each other, and then, with an almost eerie level of synchronicity, they shrugged and answered, “For fun.” 
“...Fun.” 
“Yeah! Like if we did a sleepover or something, we could all match.” Itadori looked so excited by the idea, his eyes practically sparkling (how did he do that, it didn’t make sense), that Megumi could already feel his instinctive rejection dying in his throat. 
“Yeah, Fushiguro,” Kugisaki chimed in, smirk still in place as she sniffed out Megumi’s weakening resolve. “Wouldn’t a sleepover be fun?” 
“Oooooh, a sleepover?” 
Megumi was saved the trouble of answering by the introduction of a new problem: Satoru Gojo’s head poking into the room with a smile of delight that Megumi knew was at their expense. “Well well, look at you three! Don’t you just look like the coziest peas in a pod!” 
“Hey, sensei!” 
“Hey, Yuuji-kun. To what do I owe this pleasure?” 
“Isn’t that our line?” Megumi grumbled, dread settling in when he felt Gojo’s eyes on him. 
“Aw, Megumin! You think it’s a pleasure to see me?” 
“That’s not what I meant and you know it.” 
“Yeah, yeah. I was just wondering what was taking so long for you to reply to my very important text. But never mind that, you kids have fun, let me just-” 
A flash of light blinded Megumi, and then Gojo was gone, vanishing down the hall with a called out, “Gonna show this to the second years, byyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeee!” 
“The second years,” Kugisaki repeated as she blinked the light out of her eyes. “...The second years?! Wait. Wait, sensei! Don’t show Maki-senpai! Gojo-sensei!” 
Her shouts echoed after Gojo’s cackling as she chased him down the hall, leaving Megumi alone with Itadori, who met his eyes with a bemused grin. “So, uh...do you like it?” 
“What?” 
“The kigurumi!” 
“Oh.” Megumi finally looked down at himself, at the black and white fleece and black buttons and sleeves ending in paw-print pullover gloves. And he looked back at Itadori, all smiles and warm eyes in his matching tiger kigurumi. And finally, he let his lips quirk into a small grin. “Yeah...yeah, I like it. Thanks.”

tokyo day off

summary | A summer outing in the city takes a wrong turn.
word count | 4.0k
author’s note | I don’t know what possessed me to write this. I really don’t. But anyway, this came to me like a fever dream and I feel like we need some comfort after everything Gege has been putting us through with the current arc. Here’s to enjoying a day with your favorite characters in the city!
The day started like any other at Jujutsu High.
Classes began in the morning, lunch, some training, and afterwards time to relax was granted. Summer afternoons in Tokyo were hot, but the weather today wasn’t all too dreadful. The scatter of white clouds offered shade from the harsh rays of the sun and the breeze from the mountains tickled your skin, coaxing you out of your room.
With nothing to do, you and the rest of the student body congregated together in the usual spot near the dorms. At the base of a tree next to the training grounds, you sat behind Nobara, playing with her hair to make a neat braid as she scrolled through her phone. On either side of you, Megumi and Maki had their backs against the trunk, both flipping through a book and scanning the words at their own pace. The others were lying right on the grass in the shade, enjoying the nap inducing weather. Panda acted as a pillow for Yuuji and Inumaki as both boys were drawn to the plush of his fur.
The moment was serene. Calm. Peaceful.
Too peaceful.
It almost felt wrong to be doing nothing.
For a while, there was silence between the group with only the sounds of cicadas chirping in the trees and the caws of a crow to be heard. Nobara crossed her arms in front of her chest and let out an agitated sigh.
“I’m so bored!” Nobara groaned aloud. “How’re we in Tokyo and we’re doing absolutely nothing?”
“Hey, sometimes doing nothing isn’t all too bad,” you said as your fingers combed through her hair to finish the braid you were making. “I mean, I’m pretty sure the quote ‘May you live in interesting times’ is a curse.”
“It is,” Megumi agreed. His eyes were still on his book, but he was focused on the conversation. “It’s better that nothing’s happening anyway.”
Nobara stuck her tongue out at Megumi. “Booooooring.”
“If you’re so bored then just leave,” he snapped. 
Nobara was about to bite back, but you stopped her from arguing as you tied her hair, finishing her braid. More interested in her new style than Megumi, Nobara grabbed the end of the tail and fished her phone out to take a picture. You laughed at how easy it was to appease her while Megumi merely shook his head at her attention span.
The sudden commotion between you three caught Maki’s attention and she set her book aside. 
“Oi, we know you’re bored too, Fushiguro,” Maki said, a teasing edge to her voice. The corners of Megumi’s lips quirked downward. He shut his book and looked up to pay attention to what his senior had to say. “That’s why you aren’t in your room right now and you’re sitting with us out here. Just admit it.”
“It was getting stuffy at the dorms,” was his quick reply.
At this, you and the others raised an eyebrow at him. Even Inumaki peeled himself off the comfort of Panda’s fur to get a good look. He said it too fast, like he had it rehearsed in the back of his mind if anyone asked.
“Lies,” Maki leaned in closer and inspected his face for any tells. She cackled when he broke eye contact and then turned to the rest of the group. “You know what? We should do something together instead of spending the afternoon here.”
Inumaki raised a hand in the air. “Tuna mayo.”
“Exactly,” Maki agreed, nodding her head. She stood up on her feet and pointed a finger at Megumi. “I think the last time we spent the day together as a group was—”
“Never!” Panda finished, excited as to where this conversation was leading.
Maki hit her fist into the palm of her other hand and smirked. The other upperclassmen got up to their feet and stretched their bodies to get ready for an outing. Nobara, the catalyst of all this, held a fist up into the air as she beamed, victory written all over her face.
“Tokyo day trip!” she cheered. Yuuji joined her side and started to mimic the comical poses she was making. “And here I thought we’d never get the chance to explore the city!”
Maki chuckled and made her way towards you, offering a hand to help you up. You took it without hesitation. An outing together would be a nice change in pace. After all, you could barely remember the last time you hung out with everyone. 
“Then,” she hooked her arm around your neck and snapped her fingers at Megumi, “let’s get ready to enjoy Tokyo!”
───✱*.。:。✱*.:。✧*.。✰*.:。✧*.。:。*.。✱ ───
After getting changed out of the Jujutsu High uniforms and into more fashionable summer attire, you and the rest of the gang made it to the heart of Tokyo on a short bus ride away from the suburbs. The city was packed. It seemed as if everyone was out and about today, the streets busy with locals and tourists alike.
The impromptu day trip started off on a high note. With summer came the sales, and Nobara was keen on hitting every shop to see what they had to offer. She dragged you and Maki with her to multiple boutiques to try on matching outfits and find certain pieces for her wardrobe. She wasn’t shy at all when it came to shopping. 
Meanwhile, as you and the girls shopped for clothes, the guys stuck nearby, either buying food from street stands or going into a different store to look around as they waited. They had significantly less bags on hand, but kept themselves busy with their snacks and drinks.
A bit tired from shopping nonstop, you decided to leave the boutique and join the guys outside after browsing the racks. Nobara was already paying and Maki was right behind her, so you made a quiet getaway.
When you left, you found Yuuji outside, holding onto a crepe decked out with numerous sliced fruits and a nice mountain of whipped cream. Panda, Megumi, and Inumaki were nowhere in sight.
“Itadori, where are the rest of the guys?” you asked, sitting down next to him on the bench. 
“Went to grab some drinks over there,” he pointed at the tea shop a couple stores down. “Fushiguro said it was getting too hot and he needed something to cool himself down.”
At his explanation, you nodded. Even though today was a lot cooler than others, the mix of asphalt and crowds caused the temperature to rise. A short  break was definitely needed. 
Conversation with Yuuji continue with him blabbering excitedly about dinner with the group. As he spoke, you eyed the crepe in his hands. It was meticulously decorated with glazed fruits, a mountain of cream, and cookie sticks jutting out at all angles, looking almost too pretty to eat. 
“Do you have a sweet tooth?” you asked, interrupting him. He didn’t seem to mind. 
“Kinda!” Yuuji scratched the back of his head with his freehand and grinned sheepishly.  “To be honest, the main reason why I got this was because the guy working the stand was so awesome.” He did a few action poses and chopped a hand into the air. “He was cutting and flipping the fruits into the cone like a ninja!”
Noticing your gaze focused on his crepe, he grabbed a small biscuit from the top and offered it to you. Surprised, you took it and thanked him as you bit into it. 
“Do you like sweets?” he asked this time, grabbing a biscuit for himself and chomping on it. “We can share this if you want!”
Before you got the chance to answer, Nobara and Maki promptly left the boutique and joined you two. Nobara let out a sigh of exhaustion as she fanned her face with her hand and plopped down beside you. In contrast, Maki scanned the area for the others.
“Itadori, the others—”
A cup of milk tea was held in front of Maki’s face, interrupting her question.
“Here,” Megumi said, holding up a drink carrier with several other cups. Inumaki stood beside him holding onto an extra drink of his own. He handed it off to you and you graciously took it. “We got drinks for everyone.”
“Wow, look at you guys!” Nobara applauded them. “Keep this up and you’ll be sure to find a date soon!”
Megumi momentarily scowled while Inumaki held up a peace sign. You took a sip from your drink and instantly found yourself relaxing into the seat. This moment of rest was definitely needed after walking around nonstop. Nobara and Yuuji seemed to think the same, a blissful expression painted on their faces as they enjoyed their treats.
“Where’s Panda?” Maki asked as she took a sip of her drink. Megumi’s face twisted in confusion.
“He’s right”—he turned around and was met with an empty space—“Panda?”
“Salmon!” Inumaki exclaimed, pointing further down the sidewalk.
In the direction Inumaki pointed towards, a giant crowd of tourists and locals alike were surrounding Panda. Hoards of people were trying to get a picture with him, mistaking him for a random street mascot. Cameras were shoved in his face and children cried to pet his fur which left him in a state of distress.
“Oi, Panda!” Maki yelled out. “Let’s go!”
He didn’t seem to hear her as he was more focused on the many phones being shoved in his face. Maki sucked on her teeth and set her bags down. She beckoned Inumaki to follow her.
“You four wait here. We’ll get Panda out.” She gave one last glance over her shoulder. “It won’t take too long!”
With that, she and Inumaki dove into the crowd to try and diffuse the situation. The two were pushed aside like rag dolls as they tried to get closer into the circle and shouts of “Wait your turn!” could be heard even from where you were standing. It looked like they were having a difficult time as the crowd only seemed to attract more people.
“Should we help?” you asked while surveying the entire scene. Panda was practically being mobbed at this point. “I think it might take some time for them to get him out.”
Megumi stared at the madness and took a short sip of his drink. “No, we shouldn’t.”
“Might as well sit down and relax until things get settled!” Nobara exclaimed. She let out a sigh of relief and stretched her arms to the sky. “There’s still tons we gotta see before it gets dark and I really—”
Nobara never got to finish what she was saying as Yuuji shushed her. She was about to curse him into the next decade, but Yuuji held a finger to his lips and then pointed at the other side of the street.
All eyes followed in the direction he was pointing towards.
There, standing on the opposite sidewalk, was Gojo. He was donned in casual attire, rocking a pair of jeans, a crisp white t-shirt, and dark sunnies to replace the Jujutsu Tech uniform he typically wore. His phone was pressed to his ear, completely oblivious to you all staring at him as he was more focused on whoever he was talking to.
“It’s Gojo…” Yuuji whispered.
Nobara jumped up from her seat and positioned herself right next to Yuuji. She held a hand above her eyes to block out the sun as she stared at him.
“He looks so out of place,” she said. “Something about him…”
“It’s the hair, right?” Yuuji commented.
“No, not the hair.”
“His clothes?”
“He just sticks out like a sore thumb,” Nobara said. “I don’t even know.”
“I think I get it. It’s like seeing a zoo animal out of its cage,” Yuuji added. He bit into his crepe and swallowed it in one bite. 
Megumi whipped his gaze away from his phone as soon as he heard Yuuji. “Excuse me?”
“You know, like seeing a giraffe walking in the city,” Yuuji elaborated, waving a hand in the air as he explained. “It’s hard to look away!”
Megumi cringed as he imagined a giraffe with a striking resemblance to Gojo. “Gross,” was all he could reply back.
“Shouldn’t we just leave him alone?” you asked, nervously shifting on your feet. Even though you guys were a comfortable distance away from Gojo, it still felt weird to spy on him. “I mean, it’s not like he’s even doing anything interesting…”
“It’s fine!” Nobara waved a hand at you as she kept her eyes trained on him. “He’ll never know!”
You were about to pull them away, but Megumi grabbed your wrist to stop you. He shook his head. 
“Stop trying to rationalize with them,” Megumi sighed out. “All your words will go in through one ear and out the other.”
“What’d you say, Fushiguro?” Nobara asked. She didn’t even look at him when talking. 
“See.”
“Something about this feels wrong,” you mumbled. “And what if he catches us—”
“He’s got a bouquet!” Nobara pointed out, interrupting you. “Looks pretty expensive too!”
At the mention of flowers, you and Megumi slowly inched towards Nobara and Yuuji to get a glance. Curiosity got the better of you two. True to her words, Gojo was holding a nice arrangement in his hands.
“There’s no way anyone sane would date him,” Megumi said, squinting his eyes to see if it was a hallucination. It wasn’t.
“It’s not like he’s bad looking,” you said.
“Yeah, but he’s insufferable.”
He was right about that. Still, you liked to look for the best in people. “True, but maybe there’s someone out there in the world who can look past that.”
Megumi shivered at your words. Poor soul, he thought. 
“I wanna see who that person is,” Nobara said and looked up at you. “Aren’t you interested in his date?”
“...No,” you lied through your teeth.
“Aw, c’mon! Just one look!” Yuuji wiggled his fingers in front of your face as he spoke, his words turning more animated. “What if he’s into cougars? Like a sugar mama.”
“Gojo does not need…” Megumi paused and let out an exasperated sigh. “A sugar mama.”
“You never know, Fushiguro! He might be into that kinda thing!”
“Do you even know what a sugar mama is?”
“I sure do!” Yuuji snapped his fingers at Megumi. “My gramps used to—”
“He’s moving!” Nobara shut the two up and grabbed onto your sleeve. “Let’s go!”
“Kugisaki!” you yelled out at being dragged against your will. Instead of letting go, she locked arms with you.
“You can’t expect me to be stuck with those two dummies for this,” she whispered to you. “Besides, I just wanna see who his date is, it probably won’t take too long. We’ll find out, come back, and after that we’ll go shopping for matching tracksuits!”
At her words, you peered over your shoulder. Megumi and Yuuji were following closely behind you two, still talking about Gojo and his supposed sugar mama preference. Yuuji clapped his hands as he laughed while Megumi spoke in a calm manner; even though he objected earlier to it, Megumi didn’t look like he minded the detour all too much.
“Fine… but we’re getting matching tracksuits right afterwards!”
Nobara grinned and then playfully nudged you with her elbow. You did the same back with a bounce in your steps.
Operation Follow Gojo And Find Out If He’s Really Into Sugar Mamas was a go.
───✱*.。:。✱*.:。✧*.。✰*.:。✧*.。:。*.。✱ ───
Hours passed and you four were still following Gojo through the city.
What seemed to be mischievous fun slowly morphed into a hellish nightmare. Your feet were throbbing in pain and the summer heat heavily weighed down on you, causing a light layer of sweat to coat your body. After an hour of tailing him, seeing Gojo’s date became a matter of pride. If you all threw in the towel now then it would have meant a loss of dignity from wasting the day following him.
“How long has it been?” you muttered, trying your best to not groan in exhaustion.
No one answered, too embarrassed to even say the number aloud.
The instigators of the group, Nobara and Yuuji, were the most heartbroken about this lost time. They walked through the city like zombies, their spirits crushed. While Yuuji was crestfallen, Nobara had a dark aura surrounding her body. You and Megumi maintained a safe distance from her.
The thing about Tokyo was that it was a large city. A metropolis with twists and turns and buildings stacked up right next to each other like rows of dominos; it had attractions built up into the sky and malls dug underground. You could walk around Tokyo for an entire day and still not cover a quarter of it. 
And yet, you were sure you explored the city twice over when tailing Gojo
He used every single back alleyway, rounding corner after corner, almost like he was walking around in circles. He would go into random stores and shop around for a bit only to walk out empty handed. Nothing he did in those few hours of surveillance made sense.
With the sun starting to set, all your motivation sank along with the light. Following Gojo really was the biggest waste of time you had ever indulged in. You checked your phone and saw Maki’s text about going back to the dorms with Inumaki and Panda. A sigh escaped your lips.
“Maybe we should give up,” you said. “Maki and the others already went back to Jujutsu Tech.”
Megumi, the only other one with a rational head on his shoulders, agreed with you. He stood up and rubbed the back of his neck to alleviate the built up tension. “If we leave now we can grab dinner here and then make it back on the last bus.”
Nobara and Yuuji seemed to be fighting an internal battle within themselves. Dinner in Tokyo would be a hell of a lot better than the food at Jujutsu Tech… but at the same time, what if Gojo met up with his date right as you all left? Both tightened their fists at the prospect.
Then a miracle happened. 
(Or so you thought.)
Yuuji was the first to notice. From the corner of his eye, he saw another figure approaching Gojo. He quickly hid himself behind a parked taxi, grabbing onto Megumi’s sleeve to avoid being seen. Nobara did the exact same with you. All four of you had your heads stacked upon one another while monitoring the situation: Yuuji at the bottom, Nobara, you, Megumi at the top.
Tall, blond, and well dressed, Gojo’s date approached him with an apathetic expression. Lips turned downward and brows furrowed together, his date was less than impressed. This didn’t faze him in the slightest. Gojo slid down his sunglasses and winked at his date, turning the charm meter up a notch.
Nobara let out a gasp while the rest of the group held their breath.
“They’re gay!” Nobara screamed, pointing towards Gojo and Nanami. 
Her sudden outburst garnered a few stares and the accused turned towards your direction. Gojo snickered into his hand while Nanami raised an eyebrow.
“Gay?” Nanami repeated, unamused. He turned his attention back at Gojo. “Explain.”
“I brought the kids along with me too,” Gojo jabbed his thumb over his shoulder at where you and the rest of the gang stood. “Hope you don’t mind.”
Upon hearing this, you deflated completely. The entire time following him was a complete waste. Gojo played you all like a puppet on a string.
“He knew…” Megumi muttered as he covered half of his face with his hand in shame. “He knew we were following him this whole time.”
Gojo practically skipped to where you all were standing, smiling like a cheshire cat. Upon seeing the dejected look on your faces, he let out a laugh, one loud enough to warrant people to look his way as he slapped a hand to his knee.
“This is a lesson,” Gojo began once he caught his breath. “Don’t stalk people in the city.”
“We weren’t stalking you!” Nobara and Yuuji objected at the same time. 
“Then what were you four doing?”
You all kept quiet, unable to answer his question. Because truthfully, you guys were stalking Gojo to get a peek at his “date” which turned out to be a giant ruse. Gojo merely cackled at the silence.
“That’s what I thought. Anyway,” he motioned a hand towards Nanami and looked over his shoulder. “Nanami, take care of the kids for a second.”
“Excuse me?” Nanami couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Is this what you called me here for?”
Again, Gojo laughed. Seems like he was going to screw over Nanami as well.
“Yup!” He waved and blew a kiss in the most grandiose manner. “I’ll see you guys in a little bit! Don’t go causing too much trouble for Nanami!”
Right after finishing what he wanted to say, Gojo disappeared in the next second, blending in with the city crowd. You blinked at how easy it was for him to fly off your radar. The others thought the same, keeping quiet.
Tokyo was a complete bust.
───✱*.。:。✱*.:。✧*.。✰*.:。✧*.。:。*.。✱ ───
EXTRA:
“See! The sushi comes to you on little bullet trains, Kugisaki!” Yuuji cheered as three plates of salmon nigiri arrived at the booth. He couldn’t stop grinning as he marveled the miniature replica. “Let’s make another order!”
After getting caught red handed and toyed with for the majority of the day by Gojo, he decided to treat you and the rest of the first years to a nearby kaiten sushi restaurant as a peace offering. Not because he felt bad, but rather he didn’t feel like going back to Jujutsu High so soon. You all accepted for the free meal and a ride back to the dorms.
Inside the cramped booth, Nobara and Yuuji were talking over one another while eating, trying to show off their Tokyo knowledge through random trivia found online. Megumi, the most mentally mature of the bunch, spoke up to correct them every now and then, earning either the stink eye from Nobara or finger guns from Yuuji. Their energy was infectious, causing you to laugh along.
With the night nearing its end, you decided to ask the million dollar question. After all, it was the reason why your day in Tokyo was wasted.
“Gojo, what were you doing with those flowers?” you asked as you passed a plate over to him. Since you never got to see his date after his disappearing act, you were curious with what he did with the bouquet.
Instead of stuffing the sushi into his mouth, Gojo set his chopsticks down for a second and paused. In a comedic manner, he closed his eyes and rubbed his chin, seemingly in deep thought.
“Ah, since you asked so nicely, I’ll tell you,” he said as he clicked his tongue and snatched the nigiri with his chopsticks. “I was giving them to a friend of mine. It’s been a while since I last saw him, so I decided to do something special.”
“A friend?” It was hard to imagine him with friends. He seemed to drive everyone within a five foot radius up the wall. “Really?”
“Yep,” Gojo replied. He popped another tuna nigiri into his mouth and savored the flavor for a moment before finishing what he had to say. “Flowers are a nice gift, right?”
“I think they are,” you answered truthfully. “Did he like them?”
He smiled. And it wasn’t one of his usual fake asshole smiles he did whenever he beat you guys to the dirt during a spar session, but rather a genuine one. A rarity. “I think he did. He better because that bouquet was expensive.”
“Maybe next time you should invite him with you,” you motioned to the entirety of the table, “to this.”
