    Summary

    And Toge finally understands.

    An Inumaki is not a person, not an individual, not a collection of thoughts and emotions and words that build up on tongues but never, never come spilling out. An Inumaki is a tool, a single brushstroke of a larger painting, a mindless, pliant cog in the great machine of their clan’s legacy. There is nothing more important to Toge’s family than gaining power, and even if there were something more important, it wouldn’t be Toge.

    (Or, the Inumaki clan is revered for its silence.)

    Summary

    “Time to go,” Megumi confirms, softly. He reaches out and takes hold of Yuuji’s wrist, wraps his fingers around it in a light but pressing grip, and the second he starts walking, Yuuji readjusts so they’re holding hands instead. He squeezes, and Megumi squeezes back. Neither of them tense or pull away.

    Megumi leads him onto the train after Nobara, and despite his unresponsiveness up until now, Yuuji follows—follows off the platform, follows down the aisle. Like a dog at their heels, he will follow them wherever they go, do whatever they tell him to do, no matter what. Megumi just has to take it, the knowledge that he is someone’s lighthouse just as the others are his.

    Yuuji shuts down entirely in the aftermath of a mission, and it’s so unlike him it starts to scare his friends. They stick with him through it, and take care of him together.

    Summary

    “You’re—”

    “Itadori.”

    They speak at the same time.

    Megumi’s head nods, mouth ajar. Itadori is standing before him, in his body, with his jaw hanging slack open and clothes hastily put on.

    Summary

    It’s like this— maybe Megumi has made mistakes in the past, errors in judgement, moved purely on impulse in a way that had a domino effect on Yuuji’s life, dragged him into a world of curses and violence. Maybe if he had the choice to go back, Megumi would be faster, smarter, make better choices and avoid every hospital in Sendai. But he can’t. What’s done is done. What he can do is be there for Yuuji now, when he needs him, so that he’d never have to look over his shoulder and find himself alone.
    Just like he said he would.

    “Okay,” Megumi says, relaxing his hands. He places them on the tabletop in front of him like he’s got nothing to hide, and stares straight ahead at the stove. “If you need help cleaning up your undercut, I can help you trim it. If you want.”

    Yuuji goes maddeningly silent for a moment, long enough for Megumi to regret even offering, until he blurts out a delighted “Really?”


    Two months after Shinjuku, Megumi helps Yuuji cut his hair.

    Summary

    “It’s for you,” Megumi explains, still refusing to look over. His arm is fully extended in the meager space between them now. “To hold. So you can sleep.”

    Itadori looks down, bewildered, at Megumi’s tense arm stretched out on the sheets, at his balled fist and the way the rest of his body remains stick-straight. “Seriously?”

    Megumi nods. He wills his face into an impassive mask.

    “But-”

    “You said you can’t sleep unless you’re holding onto something right?” Megumi grits out. “But there’s nothing in here you can cling to. So just hold onto my arm and go to sleep,”

    Itadori frowns, the smallest wrinkle forming between his brows. It makes his already tired face look even more exhausted. He’s always like this, Megumi can’t help but think. Constantly worrying about other people. Maybe he should worry about himself more for a change.


    Megumi's a light sleeper, and Yuuji needs something to hold.
