Can We Go Back? [ Megumi Fushiguro ]

44

Maki's pov:

I was in the kitchen washing some fruit to enjoy later when Kelly walked in with Kamo right behind her as they both headed to the back door for the garden.

Kamo's here?

"Pss, hey Itadori. How long has Kamo been here?" I whisper shout to the pink haired guy standing next to me with a bowl of strawberry's in his hands.

"Hmm? Oh, since yesterday night. He's been with Kelly most of the time though." He said before shoving an entire strawberry in his mouth. "I hope he leaves soon." He mumbled to himself.

"Why? Got something against him?" I question as he looked at me surprised, not realising I heard him.

"Well no, but I can't look at him again after what I saw. I shouldn't say though. It was a private thing. It's already a lot that I told Megumi by accident." He shook his head disappointed in himself.

"I don't need to know-"

"He was on top of Kelly! They were kissing and she wasn't wearing a shirt! And they looked like they were doing more but I couldn't see what was happening! I bet they were doing such nasty things!" He rambled on. I was about to role my eyes at his capability of keeping secrets when I realised something.

"Wait Itadori stop, did you say you told Megumi all of this?" I slowly turned my head more towards him.

"Yeah, I didn't mean to, it just slipped out you know?" He shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing.

My eyes widened at the realisation of what a few words might have caused. "Itadori you stupid little child." I narrowed my eyes at him before I dropped what I was doing and headed over to Megumi's room. It's 10pm so he should be in there.

When I finally got to his door I lightly knocked 3 times but no one answered so I invited myself in. There he was, sitting on his bed with his knees held to his chest, his arms laying loosely on them and his head held low almost on his knees. No lights were on in his room but I could still see from the outside lights shining through his open windows.

Slowly I started to approach him before sitting down on the bed opposite of him. He didn't acknowledge my presence but I already guessed he would do that. Hesitantly I placed one of my hands on his back and to my surprise, he still didn't move. Normally he would shove my hand away or look at me with his eyebrows furrowed before moving, but he did non of that. I started moving my hand up and down his back comfortingly before I decided to speak. "Itadori told me" but as expected there was no reply.

"God, what is wrong with her? Why here?" I meant to say in my head but accidentally said it out loud.

"I-I mean! It's just- well you're here and I would have expected her to care about you. But I guess she'd rather just think of herself and open her legs to anyone aroun-"I panic rambled to get out of my first sentence but it just got worse until my sentence got cut off.

"Don't fucking talk about her like that. You don't know shit Maki." I stared at him stunned as he slightly lifted his head up to look up at me now with narrowed blood shot eyes. His skin looked pale compared to his red cheeks and nose. I couldn't see too clearly but dried streaks of tears were quite visible on his cheeks.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to come out like that." I took my hand back to my side now as I played with my nails nervously.

"Why are you here Maki?" His tired voice was enough to let me know that he probably hasn't slept since yesterday.

"I wanted to check up on you." I replied.

"Well you can leave now. I'm fine." He rolled his eyes before looking the opposite way.
