FushiIta: A Sickness Called Love (Part 1)

Warning/Tags: Mentions of Incest kinda, Yandere!Megumi, Dark!Megumi, Mention of murder and thoughts of violence. Obsessive and possessive behavior

Megumi remembers the first time he felt this strange emotion. A possessive need.

Tsumiki was so happy to learn her brother had a crush, that happiness turned to horror when she learned the crush he had was on her.

He remembers the fear in her eyes as she took in the sight of the mangled body of one of her classmates.

The same classmate who had confessed to her the day before.

The girl was able to control her voice

“Megumi...what..?”

“He was bothering you. I’m just getting rid of the trash.”

Tsumiki hurriedly helped Megumi get rid of the body and clean the blood stains.

“Megumi, this isn’t love. This...You’re my brother, I love and care for you as a sister should, but that’s it.”

The girl kept her gaze locked on the blank one that Megumi directed at her.

“Then what is this? If it isn’t love?” Megumi had asked

“It’s...a sickness. But we’ll get you help. You don’t love me though, you love the idea of me. It’s going to be okay.”

Tsumiki had hugged him, trying her best to be there for him.

He remembers how after that day, she seemed tense whenever he was near her.

She flinched when he would touch her.

At the time, it had hurt. He wanted to push her down and wrap his fingers around her neck and make her as breathless as she made him feel.

But he held himself back. Closed himself off.

A sickness.

She was right, in the end.

He had only been sick. Because what he felt now, he was certain, was true love.

Yuuji was both similar and completely different from Tsumiki.

Megumi believes that somewhere his soul knew he’d meet Yuuji, the universe wanted to make sure he learned not to hurt his beloved.

He was given Tsumiki as practice, as training for when he met Yuuji.

Because of her, Megumi learned how to be patient, how to be sneakier.

The feeling he thought was love was just a sickness. Just like she said.

Because what he felt for her paled in comparison to this desperate need for his pink-haired friend.

When Megumi said he wanted Yuuji alive due to personal feelings, he’s sure Gojo thought that it was due to Megumi’s belief in saving good people

And maybe it started like that

But as Sensei took him and the unconscious Yuuji back to the college, the boy couldn’t help glancing over to the pink-haired boy.

This need, this want, it consumed him.

Patience.

He had to be patient, he won’t rush things and mess it up.

Not with Yuuji.

He doesn’t quite remember the full two months after Yuuji died. He went through his usual days, training and getting stronger.

At night, he’d let loose the bloodlust and rage he felt.

And then, out of nowhere, his sensei showed up with a living Yuuji.

Yuuji was alive.

Megumi felt like a piece of him had returned and when those Kyoto kids thought they could take Yuuji away from him?

Again?

He saw the fear in Kamo’s eyes as the boy realized Megumi wasn’t fighting to win anymore.

If not for that special grade curse showing up, Megumi would have killed the older boy.

But tonight, for the first time since Yuuji came back to life, he had the boy to himself.

Nobara went to have a “girls night” with Maki,

so it was just Yuuji and Megumi in his room watching movies Yuuji brought over.

Though, Megumi really has no idea what the movie is about. His sole focus is the boy next to him.

An unpleasant thought crosses his mind as he remembers they haven’t said much about what happened-

- to Yuuji in those two months.

In the two months he stayed with Gojo-sensei.

“Yuuji.” He keeps his voice low, calm for now.

The other boy looks over, pausing the movie so he can focus on his friend.

“You never said what happened when you were gone. You trust me, right?”

Megumi looked at Yuuji, keeping their gazes locked.

“I..I already said a lot happened...It’s not something I want to talk about.”

Yuuji frowned, already tensing up at the topic.

“You seem really close with Sensei lately too…”
Megumi watched Yuuji’s reaction, the boy-

- looking caught off guard.

“Well, he’s been training me in private and-”

“Private? What kind of training is it? If you trust me then why keep secrets?” Megumi pushed, moving closer to Yuuji.

“I-what? It’s just watching movies and sparring. There’s a bear that Yaga made and it helps me learn to control energy,”

Yuuji looked at his friend concerned

“Is that all that happened?” Megumi would kill that bastard if he touched his Yuuji.

“I..well..” Yuuji seemed uncertain, Megumi could see the tears threatening to fall

He’s going to kill Gojo-

“I..made a friend..and then..I was too weak to save him.” Yuuji looked down at his lap, his shoulders starting to shake as silent tears fell

“I...I was so weak...and Nanamin almost died because of me too…”

Yuuji looked at Megumi, moving forward and hugging the dark-haired boy for comfort

“Because of me-”

“Because of you Nanami is alive….Because of you, I’m sure that friend of yours wasn’t alone in the end.”

Megumi wrapped his arms around the boy, relaxing once he knew there was no competition.

Apparently any competition already died.

Which is perfect because now Yuuji needs comfort and Megumi is the only one around.

He coos softly, reassuring the boy that he did his best and that Megumi’s here so he has nothing to worry about.

“Besides, we’re stronger together. Always will be” Megumi whispers to the boy

“That’s why you should trust and stay with me. We’re better together. We-

- proved that when we met.”

Yuuji looks up, wiping his tears and giving a small sincere smile as he nods.

“Yeah! Sorry I didn’t tell you sooner, I just...it’s still hard to think about”

Megumi runs a hand through fluffy pink hair and offers a comforting smile

“It’s okay. From now on come to me though okay?” Megumi is pleased when Yuuji nods and continues to cling to Megumi.

The boy lays back on the bed, pulling Yuuji with him as they hold each other close.

As long as Yuuji trusts him and does as he says, Megumi knows it’ll be okay.
