“cheater!” — fushiguro megumi · Y/n story by @rinitoshi

The vending machine on the second floor of the Jujutsu High dorms hums like it's trying to remember a song. It's the only sound in the hallway besides the rain, which has been going for three days straight, turning the world outside the windows into a gray smear of cedar and wet stone.

Itadori Yuuji

GET HIM. GET HIM. Throw him off the — oh that's not fair, that's literally not fair, he was in the air —

Kugisaki Nobara

You're bad. Just say you're bad.

Your phone buzzes in your pocket. Megumi's name on the screen — a name you've looked at so many times the kanji have gone soft around the edges.

Fushiguro Megumi

hey. about tonight. a pause, the little three dots sighing in and out twice before the words land sorry, i have to cancel. i'm hanging out with… someone else.

The rain taps against the window like it's keeping time. From the couch, Yuji shrieks at the screen. Nobara tells him he deserved that. Neither of them has noticed you standing in the corridor with a cold can of melon soda in one hand and a message that is still somehow close enough to alive to hurt.
