megumi sighs, as he closes the door to his apartment behind him, toeing off his shoes, setting them aside, before he takes a step forward. megumi does not turn the lights on.
there’s no need to, he walks in complete darkness, as he approaches the door that leads to the master bedroom, before he’s even able to grab onto the handle, megumi feels the telltale signs of his approach, still, megumi does not squirm under his gaze, after all.
what was there to fear?
“yuuji,” megumi whispers softly, as arms circle his waist, and a familiar weight presses up against him, “yuuji,” megumi murmurs once more. he does not turn to look at yuuji, far too afraid to disturb this rare moment of intimacy.
yuuji so unwilling to show himself, so megumi can only indulge in his presence at night, within the darkness that cloaks megumi’s apartment, “did you have fun,” megumi wonders, yuuji does not answer megumi, he never does after all, merely gripping onto megumi tighter.
megumi sighs, “sighting of curses around this area has increased, will you be ok?” he wonders, megumi feels a nod against his back, he smiles, “ok, that’s good.” megumi feels yuuji press against him once more, “i’ll be fine, don’t worry yuuji, i would never leave you.”
megumi opens the door to his room, where a still figure dressed in the finest silks lay, arranged with both arms crossed over his chest, hands atop each other, the figure might remind someone of a corpse resting inside a casket, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
the figure on the bed was very much alive, surrounded by many arrays, ink made with megumi’s own blood. megumi attempts to walk closer yo the still figure, but is stopped by yuuji’s unwillingness to let go, he smiles, his yuuji was such a envious little thing.
“there’s no need to be jealous, it’s you that i love after all,” megumi coos, still, yuuji’s unwilling to let go, megumi sighs, before yuuji’s able to stop him, he clasps both hands together, and calls upon his shadows to hang onto yuuji.
megumi turns to yuuji, and is met with the sight of a barely visible yuuji, there are chains around his ankles, running along until they sink within megumi’s shadow realm, two sets of eyes, his reminiscent of the time when yuuji and as sukuna’s vessel.
wherein sukuna had black ink markings, yuuji has an array of black roses and red spider lilies etched into the deepest part of his flesh, black roses for megumi; death, hatred, despair, sorrow… obsession. the spider lilies are yuuji’s own; final goodbyes.
megumi’s never been good at goodbyes.
he leans forward and cups yuuji’s cheeks, smiling, all teeth, “my yuuji, soon, you’ll be back to us soon…” he murmurs, pressing a chaste kiss against yuuji’s forehead, yuuji whines, but is unable to speak, his tongue missing.
he babbles endlessly, megumi coos at him, “soon yuuji, all the things you want to tell me, i’ll know soon, don’t worry sweetheart,” megumi comforts, but this only makes yuuji babble harder, megumi watches with rapt fascination, as yuuji’s eyes fill with tears.
quickly falling down yuuji’s prettyC red cheeks, and what can megumi do, but lick them up, tongue leaving up yuuji’s wet cheek.
“don’t cry yuuji,” megumi murmurs, both cheeks cupping yuuji’s jaw, “i’m doing this for you, for us, don’t you want to see me happy?”
megumi asks, he watches yuuji stiffen, golden eyes filled with sadness, he nods hesitantly, megumi smiles, “doing this will make me happy, it’ll make us all happy! me, nobara, gojo-sensei, the senpais, don’t you want them to be happy yuuji? don’t you want to make it up to them?”
yuuji whines in megumi’s hold, but ascents, “good boy,” with that, megumi let’s him go, and walks up to the still figure, he sighs, “it’s not as perfect as i wanted it, but we still have time to fix it,” megumi leans forward, the resemblance to yuuji is uncanny…
and yet, he’s not yuuji, just another nameless face in the crowd, an orphan, with no aspirations or goals, someone who wanted to die, he was perfect, perfect for megumi’s goal.
he smiled, as he ran his fingers along the nameless man’s hair, a small thank you, sent his way.
he turns back to yuuji, whose face betrays how frightened he is, and megumi coos once more, “with his sacrifice, you’ll have a body soon enough,” he smiles, sharp teeth on full display, “and then? yuuji, you’ll never leave my side, you’ll be mine, as i’m yours.”
megumi leaves the unknown man’s body behind to hold onto yuuji once more, he hugs yuuji’s trembling body. ignoring the trembles and in yuuji’s body, and the tears that started to fall once more, “just as it should have been…”
-end.
