Chapter summary: Yuuji finds out.

------------

It was impossible to make things better and thus Megumi had started to hold onto an irrational plea.

Please don't come back, Yuuji.

When Megumi opened the door, he was instantly met with Yuuji's face.

—-----

As though the sheer presence of Yuuji right in front of him had punched all of the oxygen out of his lungs, Megumi found himself in a momentary daze, gawking at Yuuji dumbfoundedly.

He blinked several times and then noticed the blotches of dirt and little, shallow scratches on Yuuji's face.

Yuuji returned the gaze in a weary manner, the upcurve of his lips vague.

"I lost my key."

"What happened to your face?" Megumi couldn't shake the daze off his body yet.

Yuuji walked past Megumi as he was asked about his face; smiling sheepishly and waving his hand in a dismissive manner. "Don't ask. You don't wanna know what places I was staying at the past few days."

Yuuji went to his nightstand, pulled out his spare key from the drawer and put it into his pocket. He then walked up to the window.

He sighed heavily as he looked out of the window, both hands on his hips. He gave a chuckle of disbelief.

"I was so oblivious." For a moment, Yuuji turned his head to the side to direct his words to Megumi more accurately. "It was when we first visited my dad, right? That was when you found out that the one you fucked had been my dad, right?"

Megumi was filled with disconcerting restlessness. "Y-Ye..."

"And I didn't notice it." Yuuji shook his head lightly — again with disbelief. "I didn't notice anything. How did you feel? Must have been even worse for you. I didn't realize that. That you would probably be fighting with yourself upon finding out just who exactly the guy was you had your fun with."

Megumi's inner self was shuddering. He couldn't listen to this, being aware of the fact that Yuuji was thinking that he already knew about everything there was to the matter.

Yuuji didn't know everything yet.

Yuuji didn't know about the worst thing yet.

"Yuu— ..." Megumi's voice failed him.

"Don't worry too much about all of this, Megs," Yuuji comforted him, and it caused a racking pang in Megumi's chest.

Yuuji thought that this thing standing between them was manageable and fixable.

But, in reality, Yuuji didn't even know what it was that hadn't been said to him so far.

"Fucking insane. That's actually crazy." Yuuji scoffed self-pityingly. "Crazy what kind of things can happen in one's life. The one you fucked in your gap year turns out to be my dad. You and my dad, huh ...? Before we got to know each other ..."

Megumi dropped his head. He covered his face with his hands. His knees almost gave out, the ruefulness feeling stronger than gravity on his shoulders.

If only he could press himself against the floor until it opened up a hole and swallowed him entirely.
