Fushiguro was never the type to say his mind out loud. He was never the type to say how he actually feels about something. He always hides his feelings and never told anybody about what is actually going on inside of him. He was never the type to open up.
"Don't you get exhausted?"
The question caught him off-guard. No, his mind immediately answered. But his mouth hanging open as he hesitated to give answer to the question. Doesn't he get exhausted from holding up his frustration deep inside? Deep down, he kinda is.
And after seeing Itadori, who keeps growing, stronger and stronger each passing day, Fushiguro can't help but feels that he needed to catch up. He can't sit here and do nothing, as if one day harm comes to taunt him then he'll not be useless. If he is to be strong enough, strong enough that he can protect all of his friends and you from all harm.
"Don't worry, Megumi. You'll be okay." you smiled and patted his head, "You're practising hard so I know you'll improve."
Megumi. Hearing you call him first name brought peace inside him. No, it was your voice. Hearing your voice soothes his anxiety and calm his nerves down.
You always seem to care about him. You have always care about him. The slightest thing that bothers him, the little things he likes or hates, his feelings, his health. And for Megumi, he has never been so thankful to have you in his life.
"Yeah. I'll be better than I was before."
But these moments never seem to last.
When he heard you that you were taking a special grade mission, he actually had a bad feeling about it. But he knew you were strong, and you convinced him that you'll be okay handling it.
"Then, will you hold onto this for me?" you handed him your precious locket you always hold dearly. "This is my treasure. Please take care of it."
He promised, he vowed deep inside he'll take good care of it for the hope you'll return back okay, unscratched. But he never knew that the image of your back, leaving the gate of Jujutsu Tech, as if you were ready to conquer a hard mission and that you will succeed will be the last impression of the living you he has on his mind.
And the next morning, Gojo had just returned from his business trip, handed out Megumi something he didn't want to believe what he thinks it is.
"I'm sorry Megumi." Gojo patted one of his shoulders, "I was terribly late."
Gojo has never even seen that expression of Megumi when he saw the remaining of your clothes being kept in a plastic zip-lock bag.
He sat in front of your grave for 3 hours, not moving an inch. Holding your treasured locket near to his heart. He didn't expect you to fail your mission. He was in deep regret because he let you go alone. This was why he was so frustrated. He's not strong enough to protect you. And he hates that that's the reality.
Your last words to him crossed his mind as he hesitated to put your locket in front of your tomb.
'This is my treasure. Please take care of it.'
"Yeah… Always. I'll care."
'I promised that I'll be better than I was before.'
