Eventually Iori left dragging Nanami out with her and I watched as Megumi tried not to fall asleep on the couch as Gojo cooked in the kitchen. He seemed out of it and I sighed getting up to move over to him but before I could he shook his head and made me sit back down.

"Gojo-" I tried but he shook his head again and I rolled my eyes as I fidgeted with the sleeves of Gojo's hoodie he let me wear.

"I can cook you know" I offer only for him to ignore me so I just looked out the window conflicted.

"Why won't you let me help?" I asked only for him to ignore me again, my eyebrows furrowed together in confusion. I felt guilty I had put a lot of stress on Gojo and Megumi, maybe I should just give them space I wondered. With Gojo ignoring me I just felt like he was angry with me so I just looked down at the counter in front of me trying to calm down.

"Hey Y/n do you want a shower?" Megumi asked, I heard him get up and walk over to me so I quickly shoved my feelings away.

"No it's ok I don't have anything here or-" I tried but Gojo took out his wallet tossing it to Megumi.

"Go get her shower stuff. For now she can stay in my clothes until we figure things out" Gojo stated glancing back at Megumi who nodded and without a second thought turned to leave, but I caught his wrist stopping him.

"Y/n-" Megumi wanted to argue but I clutched onto his sweatshirt looking up at him.

"I just want to come with. I need air" I sighed, Megumi glanced behind me at Gojo and Megumi nodded so I stood up and followed Megumi out of the house. Stepping out of Gojo's house I finally let out a breath as I followed Megumi's pace towards whatever store we were going to.

Megumi stayed quiet and seemed nervous like he didn't know what to say or do with me. Being out in the open with Megumi though made my heart start pounding, I was putting Megumi at risk I pulled the hood up and over my head to hide my face. Megumi looked down at me confused but noticed me trying to hide myself and he sighed before putting his hand on my back.

"You are fine Y/n. No one will notice us I promise" He tried comforting me but it wasn't helping.

"I could just go home you know? I don't want to be a bother or anything" I sighed softly debating on just warping away but Gojo's cologne on his hoodie brought me comfort so I was calming down slowly.

"Nanami told Gojo Y/n" Megumi stated as he lead me into a random store so I looked up at him confused.

"Told Gojo what?" I asked but Megumi glared down at me before walking down the bath isle.

"Oh I don't know. Maybe just enlightened us how my big sister has been homeless this entire time" Megumi growled and I froze behind him stunned Nanami told them.

"Why does it matter? You are fine and-" I tried but Megumi scoffed turning around to face me.

"Because I want you safe and happy that's why it matters. You don't have your own bed or home cooked meals or even someone to come back to. Sure I am stuck with Gojo but I know he cares in his own weird way and if I didn't come home someone would know and care enough to find me" Megumi glared down at me as he spoke and I felt my heart ache slightly.

"Those things don't matter to me because I've never had them Megumi" I sighed softly and his eyes widened slightly.

"What..?" He asked in utter disbelief and I shrugged as I looked away from him.

"She's right it doesn't matter now.. Because she's staying with us" Gojo stated as he walked past me over to Megumi and I shook my head looking at him utterly shocked. Megumi looked at him shocked that he was here but he nodded agreeing with Gojo quickly.

"What? No I'm not-" I tried but Gojo waved Megumi off as he turned to me completely, Megumi sighed putting his hands in his pockets as he walked away.

"Gojo-" I tried again but Gojo covered my mouth with this hand as he stepped closer to me. My heart skipped a beat as I felt his body heat surround me and I stared up at him beautiful eyes.

"You are staying with me. Whether that's in Megumi's room, whether it's in my room, whether I have to build more rooms onto the house. I refuse to let you go out there and be homeless" Gojo growled glaring down at me and for the first time in years tears pooled in my eyes. His eyes widened slightly but I looked away as I tried wiping them away.

"Hey I'm sorry I wasn't trying to-" Gojo sighed wrapping his arms around my shoulders pulling me closer so I cried into his chest.

"No-no it's not that" I mumbled into his chest and he nodded rubbing my back as he listened.

"I just.. No one cares so it's weird. I feel like a burden and I don't want to get in the way of anything" I sighed trying to calm down and I felt Gojo's hold tighten as he sighed.

"Nanami cared enough to tell us. He has offered you a place before Y/n" Gojo stated but I shook my head pulling away as I wiped my eyes.

"Nanami is conditional.. He offered me a place because he has feelings for me and wanted to be with me. I wasn't going to use him like that" I explained softly.

"If you don't mind me asking why don't you have like feelings for him?" Gojo asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"I've never really had feelings like that. Zenin clan and dad always cemented it into my head that it was a weakness and not worth it" I shrugged as I looked away fidgeting with the sleeve of his hoodie.

"But if you aren't going to drop it then I will stay with you guys only for a little while" I sighed looking up at him seeing his eyebrows furrowed together.

"Why me and not Nanami?" Gojo asked and I shrugged as I looked behind him seeing Megumi approaching us again.

"Simple. You make me feel safe the noose that's been around my neck loosens around you and I can breathe" I stated looking back up at him seeing Gojo's facial expression soften. Megumi looked at Gojo confused but he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly so I sighed hugging Megumi back.
