[ even if yuji would probably also deliver something for him the moment he asks. but no, this is their time together, and the other boy is busy anyway. ]
[ god, he will never get used to this— people inviting him over for food, feeding him, free meals, healthy treats, and everything in between. it felt like an unachievable dream, something he never imagined to experience as a child digging through the garbage for a bite. the fact he had a job, money, and people who actually enjoy his company is ... yeah. shut up, let him have this. let him pretend this could be his new life and he wouldn't be sucked back to that hellhole again.
soon after, megumi will hear a knock— and then the door is pushed open without waiting for a 'come in'. he's been here before and that's enough excuse for the rude entrance. a quick glance around before he found his friend, he then boldly announced. ]
I am here to be fed!
[ he was teased with a picture and he is demanding megumi to deliver. ]
[ If only Megan knew about the tough life Denji has led so far ...
Megumi was expecting him, so he doesn't mind the way he other boy lets himself through the door. To save time going to the communal kitchen, he's gradually accumulated portable kitchen appliances such as a portable stove, a fridge, and a rice cooker. That's really all you need for simple home cooking. ]
Sit on the table. I'll bring it to you.
[ He'll put some rice and a serving of chicken and eggs on top of it, then place it in front of Denji. There's a bowl of miso soup too. ]
[ he went ahead and took a seat, happy to be served, and allowed megumi to carry with his duties as the host. even when aki probably taught him the art of being a humble guest and helping around, denji didn't bother to do anything. listen, maybe it's fine to be a pillow princess once in a while. there's a smile on his lips as his food arrives, already reaching out for his chopsticks. ]
Looks good and smells even better.
[ denji is salivating already — but he waits for the sorcerer to join him first. ]
Is there a special occasion for this fancy brunch?
I wouldn't really call this fancy. [ What sort of upbringing does the other boy have, to think that oyakodon is fancy? Then again, there was a time in Megumi's life he could barely afford meat and their meals consisted of mainly plain rice with soy sauce. Things had changed after Gojo entered his life, of course, but he hasn't forgotten what that was like. ]
I just felt like making you something ... You've been working a lot of late shifts recently. [ He doesn't really need a reason to appreciate a friend. ]
[ tasty, fresh, and perfectly seasoned with every bite he has taken so far— megumi underestimates this delight, but denji isn't bothered to sell his point further. at times, actions speak louder than words, and he's more content to enjoy it instead. while chewing, denji glanced at his friend with a tilt of his head. wait, that's it?! he's working too many hours and for that, he's earned a reward? this sounds way too good to be true.
heh. there's a smile, and then denji points his dirty chopstick in megumi's direction. ]
[ Consciously, that's exactly what Megumi was doing, though. Sharing some food with a friend just for the sake of spending time with them. When Denji brings up that something is probably on his mind, that forces Megumi to take a mental step back and check himself, and - yes. Something has been on his mind. There's a sigh. ]
I wouldn't invite you here to make you listen to what's happening with me.
[ He'll pour some tea and push it in the other boy's direction. Enjoy yourself! This isn't about him. ]
[ denji didn't have a lot going on this week, nothing too exciting to share aside from locking up some lame criminals, learning to drive a car, and normal complicated teen feelings all around. you know? the normal. megumi, on the other hand, seemed to lead a more — private life. they spend enough time with each other now, and denji can see more glimpses here and there.
the sigh that slipped out of the sorcerer's lips didn't match his words. ]
It's either that or I'll start talking about a new girl x girl porno I found yesterday.
[ Megumi's about to continue trying to divert the topic away from himself, when the other boy hits him with that very real threat, and he finds he has no choice but to relent. ]
No -- Don't do that. [ He really, really does not want to hear about girl x girl pornos. There's a sigh. ]
I took your advice and told Yuji how I was feeling.
[ damn. he kinda wanted to talk about those girls getting down and dirty in vivid detail, felt like a nice addition while enjoying this meal. maybe he can, somehow, slip it back into their conversation later on ...
for now, he reached for another bite, not surprised megumi took his advice. why? because it was fucking perfect. heh. ]
[ denji stopped munching for a second, he then turned his head to give megumi a puzzled stare. the first two reactions seemed reasonable; he didn't want to hurt his friend's feelings so he tossed in the 'you're so important' seasoning-
He said he wanted to save and protect me more than anyone else. [ Megumi has no idea how that leads to the other boy wanting to cry. Actually, no, he has some clue. ]
He hides a lot of things from me. Something bad probably happens to me back home. [ What it is, he doesn't know. Does he die? Honestly, he's quite neutral about that, because he's been preparing to die for years. ]
Probably. But- you just wanted to share your feelings for him. Maybe he got nervous and started oversharing things he's been keeping to himself for a long time.
[ maybe megumi had a gruesome fate awaiting him back home that kept yuuji on edge, and it explains the confusing responses, but one thing is for sure — the sentiment is not returned. megumi can still be an important person in his friend's life, but not romantically. that's all he needs to know to move on. ]
Well, I'm glad you did it. I'll take you to a gay bar to celebrate sometime!
