I love both horror, angst, and fluff in literature! Though I'm more used to writing the first two genres, my goal here is to make moreee fluff !! So please pardon me, my fluff might not be sweet enuff, but the vision is still there !

My works ✧⁠*⁠。

It was a cold blue afternoon, the heavy breeze welcomed itself through the open windows of your school, dancing with the curtains. It's weirdly silent, in comparison to it's usual noisy environment.

The noisemakers were countable, the eerie whisper of the wind, the automated ticking of the clock, disturbed by noises of the cars passing by, and the snores of your little nephew—Yuji, were the only sounds you can hear.

Calmly sitting in your desk, it's quite chilly, fortunately you've decided to wear your cardigan to fight back against the cold. But you and your nephew aren't the only ones occupying the school this late hour.

"Megumi..." There you face your student, who's sitting still on the very front row. Yuji was keeping him busy earlier, and now that he couldn't help but fall asleep ( it's nap time ), the boy has done nothing but stare at his shoes, sitting quietly with his little hands placed on his lap

"Megumi, is your guardian near?" Softly striking a conversation with your student, who you're stuck with, and is also stuck with you. school has ended 3 hours ago, yet no one had come to pick him up

Mr. Ijichi, the school bodyguard had to leave early due to some emergency, he's usually the one left here, but you're left with no choice to replace his duty after class. Often, you'd hear talks about a student who's always picked up late, but you didn't expect it to be this late.

Having their guardian's contact number would've helped for situations like this—but Principal Yaga simply rejected the idea because of some "privacy issues" bullshit

"I don't know.... he's busy i guess" seems like Megumi has got energy and care to talk, but his answer bland. Clearly he's not aware of whatever his guardian is doing

Now you can't help but stare at him worryingly. Hopefully his guardian's just really busy, and didn't actually forget him.

Though that doesn't mean all of you should just continue to wait, slowly rotting from the process even. Something must be done !

"Well, you know—me and your friend Yuji, loves to travel using the train. Since it's getting quite late now, and maybe your parent still might be busy. Would you like to come with us? We'll travel with you to your home"

"Do you know where you live? " If you're worried, he must be a lot more worried right?

"I don't have the keys to get in.." the boy slyly answered, but surely there's still a solution!

"Don't worry, we can wait with you outside"

"No thankyou. My dad might try to find me here"

Hmmmm. Judging from his tone, he doesn't seem to want to go home. But his answer was reasonable, either way

"II see, that's okay Megumi. Then we'll wait with you until your guardian comes"

You sighed, took off your cardigan, and placed it on his back like a blanket, to shield him from the cold. And perhaps the loneliness he's probably feeling. It's not right to judge others, but it seems that their relationship is quite complicated

"It's cold isn't it? Please wear it while we wait"

He held the sleeves of the cardigan you just placed—pulled his arms in and curled up inside, like a snail crawling inside it's shell.

Then, you stood up to organize the place, preparing to leave. If anyone's leaving.

As you shut the last window, you spot a white sedan outside the school gate, honking, it's light infront flicker

Beep! beep! beeeeeeeep!

"How loud"

Afraid of another complaint incoming from your neighbors, you opened the window back, one that you just shut seconds ago.

"Excuse me, Please stop honking! You might disturb the neighborhood!"

You yell, too soft for a scream, too loud for a whisper. Well, we don't wanna be a hypocrite here now, do we?

Just right after your careful yell, something's tugged your skirt

"Auntie..?" And oh my, Yuji woke up! Your hand immediately, but gently dropped to his head, he's still sleepy, brushing his droopy eyes with his hand, dried out saliva visible in his cheek. You notice Megumi next to him, they're both holding hands.

"What's wrong you two?"

"Megumi told me....that might be his papa" His little index finger pointed at the white car.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry!" flustered by your actions, you covered your mouth, and your face had turned red

" I yelled at him..." Whispering to them

quickly dismissing it, to try hide the silly expression your face is making

"Well, let us go then.."

But still, you can't help but form a weird embarrassed face, you really should've expected it to be his guardian

The two children went out skipping at the door, while you stayed back, making sure everything is locked and secure in the school.

Carefully, the white car drived a little closer to the three of you and opened it's front door.

"Megumi, let's go home!" Inside the car, a slender yet muscular man sits inside, His appearance is strange. A soft glimmering white hair, blue eyes that seems to shine like a moonstone gem . He's wearing a light blue collared shirt, a pair of shades even though there's no sun and ....skinny jeans.

You're weirded out. 'how can someone look so young yet so old at the same time?!' Mumbling out of surprise

Immediately coming back to your senses, you quickly bowed to him out of respect, turning your body up to ask to confirm

"Excuse me, are you Megumi's father?"

"Why yes of course" The man replied, his tone sounded serious but with a hint of sarcasm, as if he said 'is it not obvious?'

But you're still skeptical, your fingers lightly tapped Megumi's shoulder with your finger. Asking the boy a question

"Is he..? You two look nothing alike" you whisper impulsively. The man's hair is white—though he looks young, is completely opposite to Megumi's, they're hair's both spiky at least.

There's three scenarios to this, either he is

1. A very young father who's genes is unfortunately weak

2. The adoptive father of little Meg

3. A kidnapper

But of all scenarios, you believe three is the closest to the truth

"Unfortunately, he is my father"

And the kid responded...too loud.

"Ha-have a safe trip home." You bow again, daring to not question, you might get in trouble if you do. Is this what they call "blind following" because you still doubt he really is

"Bye-bye Megumi!" Yuji shouts while his friend gets inside the car, the two children waved at each other

"Thank you Ms. Teacher! Please don't judge us next time! He is my son! hehehe" Megumi's father obnoxiously chuckled, his mouth grinning insultingly wide, pride plastered all over his face

'He heard that...'

Megumi shut the car's door immediately, hoping the car would hide whatever face his father is making, along with the embarrassment he's feeling

But still clearly, you can see the old young fart chuckling in his car window as he moved the car slowly, megumi on his side, annoyed and clearly tired of that man's antics

Yuji can read your face... He could easily tell you're embarrassed from what the strange man had said, nervously grabbing your hand, his little fingers wrapped yours

"Auntie" He looks at you with such wide eyes, and now his arms are lifted, trying to grab your attention

"Yuji. Let's go home now"

eyes still glaring at the car, you rotate your head to your nephew, finally your eyes now focused on little yuji

"are you still sleepy? I'll carry you"

You welcome him by opening your arms wide bending your knees slightly down to his height

"Thank you auntie...but I think i will walk"

His soft innocent voice melted your heart, and all the negative thoughts of that man in your head

"so polite aren't you?" Nothing and no one really makes you smile as quickly as yuji

"Let's go?"

"Letsgo !"

You both laugh together, skipping at pavements and dancing while you both walk. His little laughters and joy drains all your fatigue

After minutes of walking and dancing, you two stopped by infront of a store, waiting for taxi, your nephew, clearly sleepy, raised his arms signaling you to carry him

"Awwe are you tired?"

You took his bag first, wearing it on your back before you gently picked him up, his arms hugged you immediately while yawning

"yes auntie..."

His head laid on your shoulder, pink hair ruffling your neck. his eyes couldn't hold it in, and immediately, fell asleep

The road is full, there's a traffic ongoing , but unfortunately there's no taxi. and without a choice, you have to wait for probably a longg loong time

Megumi's "father" closed the car door, giggling at his own words....Was it really that funny? Megumi can see Ms. Itadori's embarrassed by what he said.

Sigh

"What's wrong Megumi?" He questions megumi and his sigh, one brow raising

"Nothing..."

As the car leaves, and the school no longer insight. The family propped for a one-on-one talk. His father, straightened his back and cleared his throat

"Where's the old man? And.... Who's that woman?"

.......

"Mr. Ijichi had to leave early"

"And that woman?"

He's suspiciously interested?.. Little Megumi is contemplating wether he wants to answer him or not. He chose to ignore him, for Ms. Itadori's safety i guess...

"Hello?? Excuse me, is Megumi-kun still alive?" The father blurted obviously annoyed and sarcastic, desperate for an answer, leaving Megumi with no choice but to retreat

"It's Ms. Itadori, my teacher. why do you ask"

He fought back with an even more annoyed tone. If there's one thing these two have in common, it's pettiness

Mid conversation, Satoru spots a gas station nearby, though he has enough fuel for today, it would be a hastle to do it tomorrow morning. But that wasn't really his main priority. It's for family bonding, or their one on one talk. Was it really that serious?

After a small conversation with the worker, who's now getting ready to fuel the car, He opened the car door once again and sat quietly inside. Arms crossed and head laid low.

'It's this thing again' it's known to Megumi that once he did this stance, he either has something crazy to say or did something crazy

Now, he quietly and quite seriously asked his son "Your best friends mother?"

"Close the door"

"Ugh fine" rolling his eyes, he obnoxiously shut the car door, oblivious to the noise he made

"So is she your best friends mother?"

"Auntie."

"Single?"

"Hopefully not."

"Hopefully yes"

Now the smirk on Satoru's face seems sinister, clearly, he's interested and already, has a plan in mind

"Tch"

But his son wasn't really pleased, and exaggerated his angry face even more. angrier.

"You really plan on dating every woman you see.."

Now did that statement hurt Satoru? Or rather pinched on his ego, Megumi's not greatful for his attempts on helping him experience a complete family apparently !

"I'm doing this for your sake Megumi! Don't you wish to have a mother?" He made such a ridiculous face, trying to look and sound so desperate

His son was hardly holding his scream

'You just met her not even an hour ago!'

But he's not in the mood for spanking now, the grow a garden admin abuse is going to happen later night. Can't afford to get his father's phone taken away from him !

"And what do I gain from this?"

"A mother! And uhmmmm Oh! Yiur best friend Yuji !" His smile widened, a face that seems confident, confident that he can convince his son into a plan. Though the chance of him declining his proposal is significantly larger

"And what makes you think she'll be interested in you?"

"And what makes you think a woman could reject me?"

What an arrogant man

"I have a plan Megumi" he chuckles now, it feels insulting

"Im not participating" such big words for a tiny kid

"What!?" , Satoru's hand subconsciouy slapped the horn pad. Producing a loud Beep! that disturbed others nearby

'embbarassing! Why'd he just honk like that!'

"Megumi this is for the best! You do know how tired I am cross-dressing during mother's day!" He shouted, embarassingly loud, with no shame seen in his face. Does he not know the others can hear him at that rate? His car window doesn't even have a tint to hide their faces !

"Aren't you jealous of the other children...?" For the first time, he looks..quite worried. His eyebrows clearly frowning, his lips pouting and eyes staring at his son with guilt. But maybe it's an illusion, Megumi doubts his father can truly produce such face

"Not...really.But maybe. Sometimes"

"I prefer being with women than men"

.....

For some reason that statement made his father quiver in disgust. For Satoru interpreted it as Megumi wanting a mother so he wouldn't need to spend time with him, and him possibly becoming a "playboy" like his real father ( even though he is one as well... )

"You're really just like your father"— "Ok so listen to my plan" He snaps his finger twice to get his son's attention, but before he could mention it, he was disrupted by the worker loudly knocking on the window. Though, the worker has been knocking for 3 minutes or so, Satoru had the nerve to stare at the poor guy for what felt like 1 minute with his eyebrow intensely raised. Is he really not aware that others can clearly see him inside? Or did he purposely not put on a tint just to be a bitch?

After agood minutes wasted, he finally opened the window, payed, and finally left. But the conversation isn't over yet. Now he clears his voice once again, left hand steering the wheel, right hand gesturing megumi

"Listen. You, no no, WE will get her attention"

"Uh huh..." The son awkwardly nods like he's being held hostage. Clearly, he doesn't think it'll be a good plan

"So first you will cause trouble for me, oh no no again...Us!"

Megumi nearly but closely jumped out of his seat from the craziness of his father's idea

"No way!"

'Ms. Itadori is already stressed enough, I don't want to cause more trouble!'

worried as it might affect his teacher and his academic performance. He isn't willing to sacrifice his grades over a plan that has like 20% success rate, according to him. Though he shouldn't really care about that right now for he's just in 2nd grade

"Just listen Megumi! It doesn't have to be anything crazy. just you know, scribble to some kids drawing until they're angry. yell until you annoy her...stuff like that"

"But that's crazy!"

"That's crazy to you?!"

"Look you just need to be called to her office! have a private talk with her! Make sure she's gonna say the words—I need to talk with your handsome father about your behavior!"

His imitation of Ms. Itadori's voice cringed Megumi, he can't tell wether he's seriously trying to mimic her voice, or mocking her

"And that's where I slide to the scene and—"

His mouth mysteriously closed without a warning, head faced right, Megumi tracked his father's eyes to see why

"Speaking of the devil..." He let out a big fat grin, wide enough to reach his ear. Not a good sign

It's Ms. Itadori, standing and holding a child, it must be Yuji.

Satoru slowly opened his car window, directly infront of Ms. Itadori, She hasn't noticed who the person in the car is, nor did she notice it trying to grab her attention

You're looking all over the road, hoping to find some taxi, it'll take you a good 35 minutes of walking to reach your apartment, and another perhaps 10 minutes of walking upstairs to reach your place. Currently fatigued, nor have the stamina and strength to do all that

While your eyes skim over the road, searching for a taxi, though, that peaceful search was disrupted by a car

Beep!

Your body immediately reacted, flinching out of surprise. The honk sounds....quite familiar?

Beeep! Beep!

"Right here Miss!" An unfamiliar voice nearby called, though as of now, there shouldn't be anyone or anyone you know calling you, Especially in this place.

But as soon as you laid eyes on the direction through where that voice belonged, you immediately recognized who's it was

That luscious white hair, graciously flowing with the strong current, beautifully haunting blue eyes staring at you with shades dropping down not so far, just enough for him to showcase his eyes...smiling so big...so insulting..

Its the skinny jeans guy—Aka Megumi's father

"Need a ride?" He looks at you smirking, smiling as if you've known each other for a long time, his forearm placed at the opened window of his car

As much as you wish to decline. You're quite desperate

"May I...?" Your eyebrows relaxed, finally, asking slowly, quite unsure of your decision, but if you decline, how long can you wait?

"You're welcome, anytime" His arm, who was just relaxing by rim of the closed window, immediately stretched to open the car door behind, You can see his side profile while he awkwardly struggles to open it

His chiseled jawline, structured pointy nose, his lashes just like of a woman's, you can even see some beauty marks on his cheeks. Quickly caught your attention. Well how could something—someone so striking, not? And under your negative views on him, you can't help but praise his beauty still

After he awkwardly tried to open the door behind while remaining seated, to which he failed, causing a mini traffic behind him, he finally groaned and gave up.

Quickly getting out of his car, he went out to open the door infront of you, bowing down, his arms welcomed and signed you to enter the car, dramatically mimicking a server from a fine dining restaurant

"Thank you for your kindness" You bow your head as well—slightly bending your body, while hugging Yuji tightly so he wouldn't fall nor slip.

"Welcome" Cooed the man, who smiled along with his eyes

( SATORU HAS AN EYE SMILE TRUST ME )

After seating carefully you both reach to close the door, to which he replied with a chuckle

"no need"

Gently, his hand pushed yours. For a brief moment, you felt his fingers softly brush against yours, with what felt like affection before he closed the door

Now you notice your student Megumi sitting quietly in front, in the seat next to his father's. His head directed to anything—anywhere but his dad. Is he avoiding him?

Timidly, your students eyes have met yours, sheepishly greeting you, he still must be uncomfortable from what happened earlier

"Uhm good afternoon Ms. Itadori"

"Good afternoon to you too"

Though you planned on having a small talk with him, it was quickly dismissed by his Father

"Where is my passenger headed?" You can feel his eyes staring at you, though you remained to look at Megumi, and now to Yuji, who's head is resting in your arms with his arms and feet curled up "At the apartment complex down the street please"

Please..?

You didn't pay attention to what you said, but that please made him feel more for you, cheeks red, lips smirking, who knew someone could say that so sweetly? Megumi glanced at him—raising an eyebrow, though his father quickly shoo'd him off.

In the ride, he tried starting conversations with you, initiating small talks. but you were too exhausted to hear or even respond—only the snores of your little nephew replied to him

Aside that the ride was relaxingly quiet—so quiet that you nearly fell asleep, though you didn't let it get to you. You've caught the skinny jeans guy or Megumi's father stealing glances at you, mostly when your head's about to fall from your drowsiness.

You felt that familiar turn on the way to your complex, waking your senses up and immediately getting ready. You grabbed your wallet sitting inside your pocket, struggling with one hand, trying to grab the remaining coins you have left

"Don't worry about that, there's no need to pay"

"Huh? But uhm—"

"Your presence is enough for me😉" he winks at you with a little smile. You can see his son make such a disgusted face behind

"Thank you so much!" You bow to him again, unintentionally waking Yuji up

He flinched a little to the sight of Skinny jeans and made a scared face, Yuji immediately hugged you tightly—causing you to lose balance. Fortunately skinny jeans quickly caught your back.

"Yuji...that's your friend Megumi's father" you whisper to his ear, trying to calm him down

"Megumi..?" When he finally saw his friend, he rushed to get off your arms—and you quickly but gently dropped him

"Auntieee, why didn't you wake me upp" He whines at you, wishing he could've played with his friend instead of sleeping the entire ride, but who'd have the heart to wake him up? He looked so peaceful sleeping

"I want to play!"

"It's getting late now, they need to go home" Yuji clearly disheartned, pouted from your words

"Uhm, Ms. Ita-" Megumi had something to say but his father shoo'd him, his hand gesturing him to stop

"It's getting late now, let's save the talk for tomorrow. Goodnight Ms.? " Acting cool now, he didn't really care if it's late or not, in fact he'd rather spend the night with you, but, Megumi apparently might, ruin it

"It's Ms. Itadori" Megumi randomly joined the conversation, irritated

"Thank you, Mr. Fushiguro?" It's obvious to see the tension between the two

"It's Mr. Gojo actually, but you can call me just Satoru. Megumi refuses to be called a Gojo" He quietly chuckled, Megumi sure doesn't like him a lot

"I see, Good bye Mr. Gojo, Goodnight Megumi. Have a safe trip"

"Goodnight-bye Megumiiii !!" Yuji cutely exclaimed, good thing his mood has gotten better

The two families bid their farewells. Someday, would it be one?

At the car, Megumi and his father had settled. Satoru, plucked the keys in to start the car, he may be staring at the steering wheel, he could sense Megumi's judgemental stares

"Y'know, I was about to give her the cardigan she left me"

"I know. It's part of the plan Gumii, trust me" he proudly exclaimed

Just what plan does Satoru have?

HAIII !! This is my first story ! I'm fairly new to writing but definitely not in cheesy jokes and scenarios ! I plan to add more in future chapters 👀 Thank you for reading till the end (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡
