The apartment had been unusually quiet for the past two days.
Not because anything was wrong.
Well... Maybe just a little.
You'd somehow managed to catch a cold after getting caught in the rain earlier that week. Nothing serious—just enough to leave you curled beneath a mountain of blankets with a sore throat, a box of tissues permanently within arm's reach, and absolutely no motivation to do... well, anything.
Megumi, on the other hand...Had somehow become your self-appointed nurse. Every few hours, a fresh cup of tea would quietly appear beside you.
Your water bottle never stayed empty for long, you never had to remind yourself to take your medicine because Megumi somehow remembered before you did.
He never made a big deal out of any of it.
He'd simply hand you whatever you needed before returning to whatever he had been doing, as if quietly taking care of you was the most natural thing in the world.
You watched from the couch as Megumi finished setting everything up in his office before glancing back toward you.
His hand rested on the doorknob.
He looked at you like the answer was painfully obvious.
You couldn't help letting out a tiny laugh.
"Megumi... I have a cold."
You sat up, pulling the blanket around your shoulders.
"I'll literally just be reading."
"But if you start feeling worse..."
He narrowed his eyes ever so slightly.
Satisfied enough, he disappeared into his streaming room.
There was one hoodie in particular that had somehow become... iconic.
Not intentionally, of course.
It was just a plain black zip-up. No logos, no fancy designs, nothing that really stood out. Yet somehow, it had become the hoodie Megumi wore the most. Late-night ranked matches, weekend streams with Yuji, cozy evenings spent gaming until far later than he probably should've... It always seemed to make an appearance.
After months of streaming, even his viewers had started recognizing it.
Whenever it showed up, chat would jokingly call it his "stream hoodie," claiming that seeing it meant he was about to play for another five hours.
Megumi, naturally, had absolutely no idea people had grown so attached to a piece of clothing.
Didn't feel like sitting alone.
A few minutes later, you wandered down the hallway, rubbing sleep from your eyes before opening the closet.
Your own hoodie was somewhere in the laundry.
The first thing your hand landed on was an oversized black hoodie hanging beside yours.
Without thinking much of it, you slipped it over your head.
It practically swallowed you whole.
The sleeves covered your hands.
The hood nearly slipped over your eyes.
Tea in one hand and your favorite book in the other, you quietly padded into Megumi's room before settling into your usual beanbag in the corner.
Megumi glanced over his shoulder for only a second.
You pulled the sleeves over your fingertips.
That was all he needed to hear.
He clicked the Go Live button.
The chat immediately flooded the screen with greetings.
The first hour passed peacefully.
Megumi focused on his matches while you quietly read beside him, occasionally pausing to sip your tea or sniffle into a tissue.
Megumi would glance over.
The chat had started noticing.
:: "WHO IS HE TALKING TO?"
:: "CHECKING ON HER EVERY TEN MINUTES 😭"
Megumi ignored every single message.
Just enough to make him look over.
"...You don't sound convincing."
He hesitated for a second before nodding and returning to the game.
You frowned at the mug before quietly standing up.
You wandered into the kitchen to warm it up.
The stream continued as normal.
A minute later, you returned with your freshly warmed mug, carefully pushing the door open with your shoulder.
You were only on camera for a brief moment as you walked back toward your beanbag.
For anyone was really paying attention.
Megumi blinked at the sudden change in chat.
The messages somehow sped up.
:: "SHE'S WEARING YOUR HOODIE."
Megumi looked away from his monitor for the first time in several minutes.
Even you looked up from your book.
Megumi looked back at his monitor.
"...She's wearing my hoodie."
The chat absolutely exploded.
You looked down at yourself.
"...I didn't even realize."
As if remembering something, you quietly rubbed your arms. The room had gotten colder.
Megumi noticed immediately.
Without saying a word, he stood from his chair and walked over.
He gently pulled the hood over your head before absentmindedly tugging the sleeves down over your hands.
Your cheeks warmed far quicker than the hoodie ever could.
Only after sitting back down did Megumi remember.
The messages were moving so fast they were almost impossible to read.
:: "BET HE TUCKED HER INTO THE HOODIE."
Megumi stared for exactly three seconds.
Then quietly adjusted his headset.
Notes : Wait guys I love this one. So I low-key hated part 3 with a soul and passion, I'm really lazy to re-write it so let's all ignore it okay. I might step back from putting my focus this series and post more one shots, I miss writing them but of course I'll continue this series I love it sm. As I always state, English isn't my first language so bear with me here!! I don't know what to write about in this AU so guys... Ideas PLEASE.
