[ Getting to see their teacher again ... make Megumi happier than the older man might ever realise. He had grown so accustomed to Gojo pestering him over the years that the sudden lack of that annoying, looming, but familiar presence was felt. He misses him, in other words. Will he say it? No. He could have, if not for the fact that the very first thing the older man had done upon their reunion is start annoying him right away. And then, he dropped a bomb on him about his father that's honestly explained so much.
They probably never will have the heartfelt reunion they ought to have as a teacher and student he's raised for almost ten years, but that's okay. This is just the nature of their relationship, and open emotional displays make the boy awkward and uncomfortable.
He's taken to expressing his love and happiness at seeing Gojo again in a different way - by fussing. Because seriously, he's seen the man's spending habits. He knows he's never had to work a normal job or experience any sort of mild financial hardship his entire life. With just a meager 10,000, how long will he last? He's refusing the money Megumi is trying to give him too, so that only makes him more persistent. He has to make sure his teacher is okay and not going to go broke and have no food or clothes in the first week. He owes him that much ... for everything.
Upon learning he's been allocated to Brimstone (which is going to be awkward, given that his father is there too), Megumi makes his way to Gojo's room and knocks at his door. He's got a container with him. ]
gojo wouldn't know how to do a sentimental reunion right, even if he was given a step-by-step tutorial on it. just not his jam, y'know? besides, he doesn't need megumi to voice it to know that he's happy to have him around again. if he wasn't, then would he be going out of his way to come visit him right now?
βor trying to shove credits down his throat since he got here?
as much as he appreciates the gesture, he isn't about to take money from the boy he single-handedly quasi-sort-of-not-really raised for the past decade. not gonna happen. he may have the financial sensibility of a blood-soaked gnat, but he can take care of his own needs in his own way. ]
What's the occasion? [ the question comes flying out from behind the door before it's even partway opened. ] Y'know, my birthday isn't for another nine months, right? [ that's really not how time works, gojo. it can't just be reset because of a post-death interdimensional kidnapping. ]
I can't visit you on other days? [ Granted, he's not too forthcoming with his affection on most days and should have probably made an effort to see Gojo more back home, but now he's actually experienced losing the older man, so he's taking him less for granted. ]
I just made some food. It's nothing special. [ He also brought a sweet because he can already anticipate some whining if there's no dessert. ]
I must've really given you a scare, huh? [ it's less a question than plain rhetoric. he knows what happened to him in shibuya severely impacted everyone on the outside; he knows full well what his absence had led to. ] If you're going out of your way just to eat with me.
[ he steps out of the way as the door slides the rest of the way open. ]
So, [ he plops down on the edge of his bed, stretching out his legs. ] what did you make?
[ A scare is absolutely right. And a lot had transpired afterward as a result of their teacher being taken out of the picture. There's also the fact that he might have lost Gojo forever, a reality that seemed impossible only a month ago. There are a lot of reasons to want to spend more time with his teacher now that he has the opportunity. Of course, Megumi's never been very honest about his feelings, so he doesn't voice any of this out. ]
Well, you're terrible with your money, so I'm making sure you don't starve. [ It doesn't explain why he's eating with him rather than dropping the food off at his door, but the answer to that is pretty obvious. ]
Grilled pork and ginger. [ With vegetables and rice, of course. It's nothing fancy and gives the vibe of a home cooked meal. Shogayaki is usually quite delicious, but this is Megumi ... he enjoys ginger. His cooking will have less salt and sugar and the ginger might be overpowering. ]
I'm not gonna starve. [ he is absolutely terrible with money, but that's what workarounds are for. ] I know where the cafeteria is.
[ he isn't gonna complain if megumi wants to cook him food though. even if it doesn't always suit his taste, it's nice to have a homemade meal β a novelty in his life. sliding off of his bed straight onto the floor, gojo pats the empty space in front of him for megumi to take a seat. sit, sit. ]
Wow! That sounds delicious~ [ resting his forearm on an upright knee, gojo patiently waits for megumi to set out the different dishes. his nose crinkles juuust a little at the strong scent of ginger emanating from the pork, but rather than linger on it, his attention is honed in on what dessert is gonna be. ]
It looks delicious too. [ a beat. ] It's been a while since we last had a meal together, hasn't it?
[ Gojo does know where the cafeteria is, and Megumi doesn't think he would actually starve. In fact, the few times he remembers Gojo actually cooking him and Tsumiki a meal, it was so delicious it was almost infuriating. The older man can handle himself, but the reason Megumi is doing this at all ... is because he wants to. He doesn't feel like explaining himself so he simply lets that go.
Obediently, Megumi takes his place on the floor in front of Gojo and starts to set the food container and plates down. Dessert is a mystery for now. Meaning, he's not going to take it out until they are finished with their food. Dinner should always come before dessert. ] I was expecting more complaints from you ...
[ This is ... nice. Very nice. The compliment makes him beam just a little, his quiet aura brimming with some soft delight. Megumi has always liked being praised. Of course, Gojo hasn't tasted the food, so there's still room for complaint. ]
We had them with Itadori and Kugisaki. But if it's just the two of us ... it has been a long time. [ Before the school year, maybe. Just after Tsumiki fell asleep. ]
Ha! What complaints could I have when you're cookin' me a free meal?
[ he might've acted more petulant in the past just to get a fun little rise out of megumi, but considering everything that has happened, he's just glad that he has another opportunity to sit down and eat with him. after all, he never did get to see him or tsumiki for the last time, did he? ]
Yea. It has. [ with a pensive smile, he claps his hands together. ] Itadakimasu. [ not bringing out the dessert yet, huh, megumi? ]
My sense of time is a little... [ he reaches for the container of rice, divvying it up between them. ] off. From bein' in that friggin' cube. [ it felt much longer than what he was told upon his release. ] So, this is nice. Really.
[ As Gojo divvies out the rice, Megumi grabs a cup and pours the man some water. It's nice to be doing something as mundane as having a homecooked meal together. Especially after everything that's happened. He was certainly expecting the older man to start complaining about the taste of ginger, or wanting to have dessert first, so he's surprised at how smoothly this is going. He's not going to bring out dessert until the food is done so Gojo doesn't get distracted, sorry. ]
Itadakimasu. [ Rice in his bowl, he picks up some meat with his chopsticks. ] We hatched a whole plan to get you out. LILITH seemed to do things so effortlessly. [ It's a little bit concerning that LILITH has the ability to completely cancel out cursed techniques, but the fact that they can pull people in from different worlds should mean they have technology beyond Megumi's imagination.
He doesn't feel like complaining about it. Gojo is here, after all. ] What was it like in there?
[ All things considered, Vash is probably one of the better options to go on this mission with. He was kind, sweet, and Megumi had taken a quick liking to him. He also wasn't the kind to tease or push things or try to get on his nerves. The premise of the mission is going to be awkward and uncomfortable - especially for a shy person who's averse to being touched - but he finds that it'll probably be okay if his supposed 'date' today is Vash.
He hopes, anyway.
Because upon entering the club, all the other patrons seem to be getting quite chummy, unabashed with their public displays of affection. It is a club after all. People are going to drink, get loose, and kiss who they came in with. Meanwhile, Megumi and Vash are standing with this awkward and polite distance between them. It's making them stick out so sorely. ]
Vash-san ... [ Quietly, he leans in and speaks to the older man. ] I'll ... um, hold your arm.
( let us preface this by saying that vash has never been on a single date in all of his long, long years, and this is going to be an incredibly new experience for him, but a mission is a mission and he's going to do his level best to make it through and not have it be too awkward. but it really remains to be seen whether or not that's actually going to be the case.
it's going to be okay. it's going to be okay!
it bears mentioning that he's never been to a club setting before, either, and so many people in such close proximity to one another might make him nervous if not for the other's presence; they've gotten to know one another well enough over the passing months that he feels comfortable with him, and in turn, he hopes megumi is comfortable enough with him to carry this mission out without faltering too much.
he believes in them both, because someone has to, you know?
when the younger speaks up, he offers the bend of his elbow immediately, smiling down at him as though this is completely normal. ) Whatever you're most comfy with. ( ever the courteous one, never wanting to overstep boundaries, whether they're there or not. ) Shall we?
[ Of all the people he could have been assigned to, Vash is a pretty good choice. With the older man jutting his elbow out slightly, Megumi steps closer, fingers hanging off the crook of that elbow. It's certainly awkward to be this close, but Vash isn't the sort to tease him for it, so it's not as bad as it could be. There's still a light flush to Megumi's cheeks as he does this, but he's trying to his best to stay calm. ]
Yeah. [ With quiet footsteps, he walks alongside the older man toward the entrance. There's music and chatter in the background, so nobody can really hear them when they speak to each other. Not with how soft Megumi's voice can be, anyway. ]
( it's awkward for him because he doesn't generally let people this close to him, but he and megumi have been forming a kind of tentative friendship from the very beginning, and he's grateful for it, because it feels like he might actually be able to have friends in this place.
( that, and it isn't like there's anywhere for him to run, here. there's no point in trying, so he might as well make the best of what he's been given, right? right! )
they make their way forward, and there's enough background noise to muffle any part of their conversation they might not want to be overheard, and he's grateful for that, too; the closeness is comfortable, at least for him, and he makes a small, contemplative noise in the back of his throat at the question the younger gives him. )
[ Somehow, he hadn't expected the injections to be quite this bad. He'd heard a little about it from Yuji and Raidou both and it hadn't sounded so bad, so he'd figured why not?
Turns out, the why not hit him real hard.
He can still feel a throbbing in his head even after his vision finally clears, the muscles in his body exhausted from clenching up in pain all day. If there's a hell on this earth, he's pretty sure he just dipped down for a visit for half a day. But hey. If nothing else, at least he's still alive. That's gotta count for something. Seems something out there really wants him to keep going.
He's staring up at the ceiling when Megumi's ushered in, and Wriothesley does his best to sit up out of habit before the lingering aches and pains knock him back down. He grimaces. ]
Sorry. Give me a few minutes. [ Maybe like...ten. ] Not out with your boyfriend?
[ He's doing his best to crack a joke, but the hoarseness of his voice and the the sweat still beading off his temple kind of drag that down a lot. ]
Just kidding. [ On the boyfriend part at least. ] But I am surprised you're here visiting me instead of hanging out with your friends.
[ Megumi knows from speaking to Yuji that the body modifications are no joke. (Or at least, inferring from speaking to Yuji, because the other boy refused to go into the grittier details). That's why when he heard that his teammate and neighbour (and ???friend???) was scheduled in, he was naturally worried. Megumi is a worrier after all. That's all he does. They wouldn't let him in for a while, making him wait because the 'patient' was apparently still at their worst and not ready yet. It's such a joke to him that they can afford pointless gadgets but something necessary like analgesics are suddenly too difficult to obtain. Maybe they just aren't trying hard enough.
He doesn't like that stupid cat doctor, even if he likes cats, but Megumi keeps up a polite and cordial front as he's led into the recovery room. Wriosthesley looks ... like he's seen better days.
And the first thing he does is try to make a silly joke. Megumi sets his things down with a sigh. ]
You're in too much of a vulnerable position to be testing people right now, Wriosthesley-san.
[ He won't hit a sick person in the hospital (maybe), but he does feel the urge to inflict some light-hearted anime violence in response to that quip. ]
[ He's always a prime target for some light-hearted anime violence...
It's nice to see that Megumi's the same as ever though, straight-faced and polite even in the face of some gentle ribbing. It's what makes him fun to tease, honestly, though Wriothesley tries his best to not go too far. ]
I have to see what I'm capable of after getting those injections, now don't I?
[ Though apparently the answer to that is just lie around uselessly in bed. ]
So what brings you here, Megumi? Surely you can't be that worried about me.
[ Despite that veiled threat from before, what Megumi does actually do is settle down on a chair and take out some apples he's brought. He starts to cut and peel them. For no reason at all, he peels the skins into little rabbit ears and places the slices on a plate. Tsumiki taught him to do this, a long time ago. ]
I'm on a day off. [ And his best friend is off doing gross datey things, probably. He seemed to be busy when Megumi tried to find him. From their paired tracker ring, Megumi can feel a sense of softness and heart-thumping excitement. That's great for Yuji, and he's happy, but it's also sort of annoying.
So he's going to kill time by taking care of old people. ] And you can barely move like this. Am I going to leave you to stave?
[ Oh. How cute. And very domestic. Wriothesley watches Megumi meticulously carve away, intrigued by the small rabbit ears forming in front of him. Actually, hang on, he's connecting the dots here (he hasn't connected shit)— ]
Do you happen to really like rabbits?
[ First the rabbit username and now these rabbit apples.....But anyway. ]
A day of not eating won't kill me though.
[ He should know, having gone days without eating before in the past. The downsides of being homeless and having to beg on the streets. As much as he complains about the food in the cafeteria that LILITH serves, he knows it's a far better living situation that what he could have been given upon arriving here. ]
But more importantly, are you sure you don't have a special someone in your life?
[ Megumi does like rabbits, so it isn't like Wriothesley is wrong. They don't quite make up his identity though, even if he's able to summon an infinite amount of rabbits. ]
It's just a coincidence ... [ He didn't choose his username, even if he doesn't exactly hate it. If given the choice, he would have gone with his name or something more befitting for a boy.
Anyway, he pierces an apple slice with a fork. ] What's making you suddenly ask that? [ The ring around his finger, probably, but he hasn't caught on to that yet. ]
[ Just a coincident....right....just like how Megumi was making doe eyes at Yuji back at the firehouse and now there's a ring on his finger. Right.
Actually Wriothesley knows better than to jump to immediate conclusions, but seeing as how he's trapped in bed for the foreseeable future and he has a nice visitor to pass the time with, why not take advantage of the situation given to him and dig around for a little more information? It'd be nice to hear what the kids are up to these days outside of kaiju fighting.
While Megumi forks one of the rabbit apples, Wriothesley gestures towards the ring. ]
I've never seen you wear a ring before. Someone else might think you ran off and got married while they weren't looking.
[ Is this where Megumi jams a rabbit apple into his mouth to shut him up... ]
Even if giving Yuji the ring caused some confusion and panic between them both, Megumi assumed that was the end of that. That nobody else would notice his new piece of jewellery, because nobody should be paying attention to him. He's clearly underestimated the observation skills of an incredibly bored man confined to a hospital bed.
And yes, this is exactly where Megumi jams a rabbit apple into Wriothesley's mouth to shut him up. ] I'm too young to get married.
[ One look at his assigned partner, and Megumi can feel himself becoming worn out already. Though they haven't met up very much following that first time, the other boy left an interesting impression on him, to say the least. It was like they weren't human at all (which is probably the case), which their bizarre mannerisms and lack of understanding of how to act around people. They probably can hold themselves up in a fight, given that LILITH had chosen them, but everything that leads up to that? He already knows it's going to be an ordeal.
Will Megumi have to guide him the whole way? (He doesn't know how to act on a date himself, having never gone on one.) ]
Nagisa ... Are you sure you're fit for something like this ...
[He looks down at his body, short for his age, skinnny and pale, further scarred where no one can see. Kaworu's forehead scrunches in confusion as he tries to understand. Clearly, he's never considered if he's metaphorically fit for this or not.
[ Did the other boy just take him literally, and assess his own body for fitness? Oh, this is going to be a tiresome ordeal. ]
As ready as I can be for such a stupid mission. [ Meaning, not actually very ready at all, given that he doesn't know how to actually act on a date. But he's just going to pretend they're hanging out and see what happens. Once it's time to actually ambush someone, he'll be in his element again. ]
And you know what the premise is, right? [ Their identities. The fact that they have to be a 'couple'. ]
We're supposed to be dating. It's what humans do when they have an interest in each other.
[He states, like a child who is very pleased with themselves to be repeating a fact they learned in school to everyone else. But Kaworu is excited. He's excited to explore and to learn. Even if the date isn't real... it's at least something new.

Even if giving Yuji the ring caused some confusion and panic between them both, Megumi assumed that was the end of that. That nobody else would notice his new piece of jewellery, because nobody should be paying attention to him. He's clearly underestimated the observation skills of an incredibly bored man confined to a hospital bed.
And yes, this is exactly where Megumi jams a rabbit apple into Wriothesley's mouth to shut him up. ] I'm too young to get married.

Will Megumi have to guide him the whole way? (He doesn't know how to act on a date himself, having never gone on one.) ]
Nagisa ... Are you sure you're fit for something like this ...
no subject
[He looks down at his body, short for his age, skinnny and pale, further scarred where no one can see. Kaworu's forehead scrunches in confusion as he tries to understand. Clearly, he's never considered if he's metaphorically fit for this or not.
At least he cleans up well.]
Of course, I am. Are you?
[He hooks their elbows together. That's something boys who are friends do. Or... no is that girls...?]
no subject
As ready as I can be for such a stupid mission. [ Meaning, not actually very ready at all, given that he doesn't know how to actually act on a date. But he's just going to pretend they're hanging out and see what happens. Once it's time to actually ambush someone, he'll be in his element again. ]
And you know what the premise is, right? [ Their identities. The fact that they have to be a 'couple'. ]
no subject
[He states, like a child who is very pleased with themselves to be repeating a fact they learned in school to everyone else. But Kaworu is excited. He's excited to explore and to learn. Even if the date isn't real... it's at least something new.
He reaches out try to take Megumi's hand.]
Have you ever been on a date Megumi-kun.
[First name basis... apparently.]
