[ it never stops leaving him breathless, does it? yuji's selflessness, his consideration and grace for the people around him. even when megumi knows he's not being a good friend β especially in the early days when he had misplaced anger about tsumiki's condition β yuji never reflected the same ugliness back.
he's not the kind of person to be vengeful, megumi thinks. not without good reason, and heaven have mercy on whoever earns that wrath from his best friend.
i could love him, he thinks. in another life, in every life, i know i'll always love him. ]
You don't have to if it's extra weight you have to carry. But I'm very grateful you think of me, too.
I packed your snacks, too. [ wait, did he? megumi frowns. he'll have to check his things again. he's certain he did, but some unfounded doubt has roosted in him now. ] I'm sure I did. Did I hand them over already?
It feels perfectly natural, to take care of Megumi and make sure he's okay. He wonders if it's the same in these weird memories, if he's as selfless or if this is odd for his friend - if he's going too far. It's hard to navigate, and it makes his heart feel weirdly heavy to think about it all.
At least Megumi seems... Fine with it.
Breathing out, he shakes his head. ]
It's not a big deal. Style upgrade, remember? I barely have to pack my own clothes most days.
I forgot how many you have now. You're reallyβ I'm not jealous, for the record. Just a little worried. We're fighting things we don't fully understand, and even if we're winning most of the time doesn't meanββ
Just be careful. That's what I'm trying to say. I'll be really upset if you get hurt and I'm not around to save you.
[ it feels like he's been worrying about it all his life, for several lifetimes, like he was born with yuji's name already tattooed to the forefront of his mind. it's nestled deep, unyielding every time he reaches back down the ladder of his memories.
they've always got each other's backs. even if the world falls apart, megumi can be sure of that. ]
Alright. If not, I can go out and find something local. Hey, we could try some of the teas here too if we can find them.
With a style upgrade? I don't think that one's too big of a deal.
[ It's not like the other ones, that took intensive surgery for him to deal with before he was able to use it, but the less said about that the better. He can still remember how irritated and disappointed Gojo-sensei had been with him after the last one.
Reaching out, he pats Megumi's back gently. ]
We can try the tea and not worry about the rest. Like I said, it's not a big deal.
