TW: swearing
One year and eleven moths before the day
Megumi's POV
"Fushiguro! Stop dreaming about the boy from the train, pay attention to your dear friends here in front of you!"
I let out a sigh and look at her with an annoyed face
"I'm not dreaming, I'm just worried"
"Worried about what?" This time it was Maki-San who asked, taking a sip of the drink I had served her a few minutes ago.
"He misses his crush" Kugisaki says, sending me an evil grin
"He's not my crush and I don't miss him."
I answer in a slightly annoyed tone.
"So why are we talking about him?"
I would also like to know that
"Alright, alright I'll stop. But why are you so worried about him anyway?"
I let out another sigh, turning my back to the counter where the couple sat and arranging the disorganized glasses.
"Since that day we went together, I never saw him again. At first I thought he was in other carriage on the train but even when I got to the station earlier he was never there waiting for it..."
Even so, why am I worried about a stranger? I just talked to him once and we practically went all the way in silence...
"Maybe he changed the schedule? Do you know where he was studying?"
I think for a while, turning around to look at them
"Honestly I don't even know if he still studies... The only thing I know is his name and that he used to get off and get on the same train as me... "
"Did you see where he went when you left the station?"
At times like this, I think I should pay more attention to these things.
"I just noticed that it was on the street opposite mine..."
I answer a little hesitantly for my attention flat, but anyway why should I have noticed? It was none of my business anyway.
"Well then, let's go"
"Where?" Maki-San and I asked when we saw Kugisaki get up from the bench where she was sitting
"Looking for the mysterious boy!"
"In case you don't remember i'm still working" i reply with an annoyed tone by her enthusiasm and impulsiveness.
"And I agreed to go to study with Inumaki and Panda" I always thought it was strange to call a friend Panda, but if you think about it he really has the size and the strangely cute look of one... I shake my head. That's off the subject. I focus again on Nobara's suggestion. Maybe I should really go look for him... At least that way I might be able to sleep peacefully.
"Don't worry, you can go study with them, I'll think about your idea and see if I can find him, so I can stop thinking about it and go back to my normal life" I answer
"Okay, so let's get going. Good luck in the search for the mysterious boy Fushiguro!"
I nod, and watch the couple leave the cafe. This is going to be a complicated afternoon...
~~~
"We have arrived at the Rivers station, I repeat, we have arrived at the Rivers station, be careful when leaving the train and for the rest, continuation of a good journey" *beep*
I get off the train taking the warm spring breeze in my face. I can't believe that I really am doing this, I don't even recognize myself...
Adjusting my backpack to prevent it from falling, I start my way looking for the boy.
I don't even know where to start, what am I supposed to do?
Walking the streets looking for pink hair or someone with scars under each eye? And what will I do if I find him?
When leaving the station, shaking my tougths away, instead of turning to my usual street, I turn in the opposite one.
I never came this way, in fact I think I never went to many places besides the school and my home, and of course the hells I used to call shelters...
No.
I'm not going to get into these things right now.
I am doing this to see if he is okay, as soon as I see him I can go home, take a shower and sleep until I have to wake up to go to school again tomorrow.
If only it were as easy as I thought. The truth is that three hours later, I was tired on a street that I had never seen and with no signs of Itadori.
Why did I decide to follow Kugisaki's advice!?
I sit on a small step near a fountain and look at the sky. It is already getting dark, I should go home... I look around and do not recognize where I am.
I let a long sigh escape my lips and cover my face with my hands.
How am I supposed to go back now?
"Fushiguro-kun?"
I look up when I recognize the voice that called me
"Junpei?" I ask, not believing my luck in finding my co-worker on these unfamiliar streets.
"Are you all right? It's the first time I see you around here"
He asks, putting down the shopping bag that I just noticed that he was holding on the floor, and taking out a bottle of water to give me "Here"
"Thank you" I say taking the water from his hands and drinking it.
"I'm actually lost..." I reply scratching the back of my neck embarrassingly
He seems to think about what I said for a moment before speaking again
"It's getting late. If you want, you can stay at my house and in the morning I'll take you to the station"
I think about your offer. It really is late and I have no other way to return without him showing me the way.
"I would appreciate that, if there is no problem with you" I reply, getting up and cleaning the dirt from my pants.
"No problem at all. My mom is still in the hospital so a friend of mine is staying there for some time so I won't be alone, I hope you don't mind"
I don't really like the idea of having to spend the night in a house with a stranger, but he's doing me a favor so I can't complain.
"No problem"
We make our way in silence, just the sound of a few cars and people passing by on the street and a few birds singing.
I like the silence.
It does not require words or thoughts, it is much calmer. I don't care when the people around me speak, I just don't like having to be the one to talk.
But anyway, as I mentioned before, there are few people who wanted to talk to a quiet person like me.
"It's here"
We stopped at the door of an old building and made our way to his apartment, it was to be expected that he didn't have a big house. Nowadays it is quite complicated to have a house on these sides that is not just an apartment.
Unlocking the door, we both entered and I smell something good.
His friend must be able to cook...
"I'm home!" Junpei says as we both take off our shoes and I hear a few steps towards us behind me.
When I turn around, my eyes don't want to believe it. The boy I was looking for was standing in front of me with the same shocked expression as me.
"Fushiguro this is my friend Itadori. Itadori this is Fushiguro"
