The Silly:

🌸 Todou can never remember how long you’ve been dating, because he mixes it up with his dumb fantasies. He also really over-exaggerates how you guys met.

🌸 Boredom is Todou’s number one fear, and that means he brings a lot of weird ideas to you to keep the two of you entertained.

🌸 He loves to carry you around everywhere, despite the fact that you can obviously walk there yourself, because he’s a bit of a show-off and he loves hearing you giggle -- or hearing you telling him off.

🌸 Todou loves telling everyone in every way you conquered the love he had for Takada. He still respects Takada, but his obsessive love is now pinned to you, and everyone is gonna hear about it.

The Bad:

🌸 Todou’s job is very dangerous, and that’s why every moment that he has with you, he considers special. Unfortunately, that may come off as him suffocating you with attention.

🌸 He’s gone for long periods of time, sometimes. You can’t always rely on him when you’re having a bad day, so you have to have your own inner strength to persevere through life while he’s gone.

The Ugly:

🌸 Todou is very headstrong and opinionated, and there will be times when he doesn’t understand what you’re feeling or why you’re feeling it. It’ll cause conflict if you’re not willing to be patient with him and help him understand what you’re going through. He may seem extremely pushy to help you get out of your funk, and that may cause a world of hurt between the two of you. He solves problems by going head first through them, and having to take a different approach is hard for him.

🌸 You can’t be a jealous person and persist with this man. He’s still going to ask every man who fights him what his type of woman is, and Todou has his examples of his favorites! You’ll have to understand that this interaction he has with peers and enemies, and his love for you, are two completely separate things.

How Long It Took Todou to Realize His Feelings

🌸 Oh lordy does this man like to play it cool. Of course he recognized his feelings for you instantly, and you can’t convince him otherwise!

🌸 In reality, it took him some time to realize his true feelings for you. He always thought the feeling he had for Takada was true love and adoration. Then you came along, and the longer you stuck around, the more he couldn’t get you out of his head.

🌸 Todou, bless him, thought about you endlessly and thought you must be his new best friend.

🌸 It took some time, and one very elaborate fantasy that spun out of his control, to realize that he had deep, romantic feelings for you. He didn’t expect to ask you out in his fantasy!! But you were there, instead of Takada!! And you ... You didn’t turn him down!

🌙 When Nobara joins them, it eases the tension off of him a little bit. Now the attention isn’t so 1-on-1 and he can think a little more clearly.

🌙 Mr.-No-Friends certainly enjoys having friends. Even if he does stay mostly quiet.

🌙 Yuuji ’s death absolutely crushed him. Yes, he was told to expect people to die in this job, yes he knew it was likely Yuuji’s fate because of Sukuna anyway, but it cut Megumi much deeper than he ever thought was possible. He couldn’t stop remembering that moment, couldn’t stop seeing it in his minds eye. Sleepless nights, staring at the ceiling, wondering why. The pain didn’t ease, even as the exchange event came and he had something else to focus on. It haunted him.

🌙 That being said, when Yuuji reappeared in such a stupid way, Megumi strongly considered never forgiving him for a few seconds and putting his ass back into the ground.

🌙 The relief he felt as things went back to as normal as they ever were can’t be measured, though. Megumi found he missed Yuuji’s laugh. He missed the ridiculous stories. He missed the way Yuuji misinterpreted things in a dumb way. He missed that bright smile. So much tension that had built up in his shoulders melted away.

🌙 Megumi finally got a good night’s rest at some point. He was the first to say good morning the next morning and Yuuji tripped over his own two feet in shock lmao.

🌙 He catches himself watching Yuuji more often than not. But it’s just because Yuuji’s gotten so much stronger, right? He’s studying him. Megumi can improve watching Yuuji and training with him.

🌙 Right, that’s exactly why Megumi quietly suggests a place for them to get lunch and doesn’t complain when Yuuji walks right next to him and repeatedly bumps into him while he’s trying to follow the directions on his phone.

🌙 Yuuji is still new to the world of curses, and Megumi figures he should be the one to teach or explain to Yuuji a few things. Gojo will just be stupid about it and Nobara can be so intense.

🌙 Yuuji opens up about a lot. He’s not afraid to share his feelings or his past, like Megumi is. When they take the occasional late-I-can’t-sleep walk together, it’s mostly Yuuji talking and Megumi listening. He doesn’t mind, though.

🌙 Now, Megumi doesn’t prefer going anywhere alone, really. When he needs some time to himself, he can have it. But he finds he needs that less and less. He’d rather be around that stupid, smiling idiot friend of his. So much of the time. Which is good, since Yuuji seems to  be of the same mind.

🌙 At first, when Yuuji would get on Megumi’s bed, he would get annoyed and swat him off of it. Now it’s a common occurrence and he’s not sure when he became okay with it. Yuuji lounging around in his room or on his bed, just chatting away, seems so normal now.

🌙 Megumi has a crush. He admits it to himself one day, sighing as he stares for too long into the mirror. That has to be why he’s always got Yuuji on his mind, why he feels so protective over him suddenly, why he hates it when it gets too quiet or Yuuji is pulled away for a few days for a mission or training. It hurts when he sees Yuuji sad or upset, but Megumi is too awkward to know what to do in those situations. He’s never been good at emotionally connecting with anyone.

🌙 For now, he holds his secret crush tightly to his chest. Maybe he’ll figure it out, someday. Or, maybe it would be healthier to let it go ...

🌙 He doesn’t know.
