Megumi's Flower ❀ | ɢᴏꜰᴜꜱʜɪ

[ XXIV ]

✿

Me and Yuuji were walking together down town, holding hands. We just went on another date at the bowling alley, and now we were going to eat at a restaurant that opened recently nearby. 

He squeezed my hand. "I love spending time with you Megumi. I know this might sound cheesy, but I feel like the happiest person alive when I'm with you." He beamed.

"It is cheesy," I said, nudging him a bit. "But it's also really sweet. Me too. I feel the same way. I feel like all my problems are non-existent when you're around. I love being with you too."

We kept walking down the streets, smiling to ourselves and acting like a sickening lovey-dovey couple. It might've annoyed some passerby's by how gross and couple-like we were, but we didn't care. We were having fun together and that was all that mattered. 

I remember before I told myself that I felt comfortable with him, and that I liked him a lot but I didn't know if I was in love with him. But now, I think I was seriously falling for him. 

I haven't experienced the symptoms of my disease in a while. I coughed up flower petals on rare occasions, but that was it. All the pain in my chest caused by my love for Gojo was replaced by warmth caused by my love for Yuuji. And I couldn't be happier.

We got some ice cream in the park and sat at the park bench, just enjoying each other's company. He moved a hair out of my face, and I smiled.

"So it's been a while since we've been together." He started. "So I was thinking that maybe if you were still down for it, we could spend the night together," he suggested.

I looked at him incredulously. "By that you mean sleep together?" I asked, surprised that he brought it up. "You're really ready for that?"

He nodded. "Yeah. I really love you Megumi. I love you a lot. So I want to do it with you, if that's okay," he blushed. He looked really cute.

I remember the time before I met Yuuji, when I would go around sleeping with guys I barely knew, just so I could lessen the effects of the Hanahaki disease and make it more bearable. I treated sex like it didn't matter to me. 

But it did matter to me now. And if I was going to share myself with someone, I wanted it to be with Yuuji. He was my permanent cure. 

"Mmm, let's do it then," I accepted. "Right now?" I suggested. We could probably get a hotel room for tonight.

But he shook his head. "No, I need some time to prepare. And by that I mean prepare my heart, not by watching porn." He said.

I laughed. "I didn't think you meant porn, but alright. Then we can do it whenever you want to. In a week maybe? Or few days?"

"No, that's too long," he said. "Tomorrow night. I want to do it tomorrow night. You can come over to my place, since my parents will be out, and we can spend the night there." He offered.

I got a bit nervous, but in a good way. I was both nervous and excited to do it with him. It would be the first time I would really be having sex out of love.

"Then tomorrow night," I said. "I can't wait."
