~ Protective!Megumi who notices someone getting a little too close to you during a mission briefing. Itâs subtle, reallyâjust a lingering look, a too-friendly commentâbut it makes something coil tightly in his chest.
~ Protective!Megumi who doesnât say anything at first. He just steps closer to you, standing slightly in front of you, his arm brushing yours like a silent barrier. You glance up at him and catch the smallest crease between his brows.
~ Protective!Megumi who stays quiet during the whole exchange, eyes sharp, always watching. Not jealousâtotally not jealous. If someoneâs making you uncomfortable, even a little, heâs already two steps ahead, calculating what to do if it escalates.
~ Protective!Megumi who gently pulls you aside once youâre alone, voice low and controlled. âWas he bothering you?â he asks, eyes meeting yours with quiet concern. You shake your head, smiling a little at his intensity. âNo, but⌠you noticed, huh?â
~ Protective!Megumi who just exhales, not angryâjust focused. âI always notice.â
~ Protective!Megumi who walks with you the entire rest of the mission, always staying close, always aware. If danger shows itself, heâs in front of you before you can blink, his shikigami flaring to life like they were just waiting for a reason.
~ Protective!Megumi who doesnât speak unless he has to during battle, but if you so much as stumble, heâs there in a flashâcatching your arm, shielding you with his own body, eyes scanning for any threat before checking if youâre okay.
~ Protective!Megumi who, after everything, cups your face gently, his fingers a little rough but touch so, so careful. âYou scared me for a second,â he murmurs, voice strained just slightly. âDonât do that again.â
~ Protective!Megumi who doesnât even realize how tightly heâs holding you until you shift and nuzzle against his shoulder, whispering, âIâm okay, Megumi. Youâre always watching out for me.â
~ Protective!Megumi who presses his forehead to yours, eyes closing. âAlways.â
