Ryomen Sukuna x Inumaki Toge

Chapter 13

Scene: Comfort and Support

The next day, Toge was finally out of the hospital, and Megumi offered to help him back to his room. As they walked together, Toge could sense that something was bothering Megumi, evident from his downcast expression.

In the evening, Gojo returned from his mission, finding Megumi in his room, lost in his thoughts. Concern etched on his face, Gojo approached his student.

Gojo: "Megumi, you seem down. Is something bothering you?"

Megumi hesitated for a moment before opening up to his teacher, his voice filled with vulnerability.

Megumi: "Gojo-sensei, I... I have feelings for Toge-senpai, but I know he only sees me as a friend. It's been weighing on my mind, and I don't know what to do."

Gojo listened attentively, his expression a mix of understanding and empathy.

Gojo: "It's not easy when our feelings aren't reciprocated, Megumi. But remember, it's important to cherish the friendship you have. Sometimes, that's the foundation on which deeper connections can be built."

Just as the conversation settled into a moment of reflection, the door to Gojo's room opened, revealing Toge standing there, a mixture of sadness and guilt evident in his eyes.

Toge: "I... I'm sorry. I heard what you both were talking about. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just... I felt lonely in my room."

Megumi's heart skipped a beat as Toge approached him, his arms enveloping Megumi in a tight hug.

Toge: "Megumi, I'm sorry if I've given you the wrong impression. You mean a lot to me, but it's as a dear friend, like a little brother. I hope you can understand."

Megumi's eyes welled up with tears, a mix of pain and acceptance washing over him. He nodded, his voice filled with a mixture of gratitude and sadness.

Megumi: "I understand, Toge-senpai. Our friendship is precious to me too, and I don't want to lose that. Thank you for being honest."

Gojo, witnessing the emotional exchange between his students, approached them and enveloped them both in a comforting hug.

Gojo: "Remember, you both have each other's support. Lean on each other, and don't hesitate to share your feelings. Together, we'll navigate through any challenges that come our way."

In that moment, as Gojo offered his calming and comforting words, the trio found solace in each other's presence. They knew that their bond would endure, even if their feelings took different paths.
