You and Megumi have been great friends for a while to say the least. You've shared an apartment during your time at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Your bedrooms are right next to each other, so sometimes when you go your separate ways for the night, you can hear the show the other is watching.
It's currently 2:00 in the morning. The both of you had just returned back from a mission at about 11:00, to Megumi's dismay. He got scratched up a bit during the mission against the Grade 2 cursed spirit, and he just wanted to rest. You've been sleeping, but even in your sleep, you can hear the groans and grunts of pain from Megumi's room. Poor boy, his injuries can't let him sleep peacefully.
In the middle of a nice dream, where you, Megumi, and your other friends were living in a happy, carefree world without curses, you heard a knock on your door, followed by a creak, signaling the door was opening, startling you awake, almost throwing a pillow at whoever dared to interrupt your nice dream.
"Hey! It-it's just me!" Ah. It's Megumi. "Come in," you say, a quiet voice escaping your lips. He walks over to your bed, his elbows on the edge of the bed, propping up his head, the vivid moonlight illuminating his beautiful features. "Couldn't sleep. These injuries are making it unbelievably hard to get comfortable" he groans, "Can you, uh.. do something for me?" You blink a few times in thought, and then you turn to him with a smile, "Sure." He lets out a breath the both of you didn't know he'd been holding, and his cheeks dust a vivid pink as he instinctively puts his hand on top of yours. "Can I.. lay with you tonight..? Until I fall asleep? I know that we're best friends and it might be weird and-" He was cut off by the feeling of your soft fingers running through his hair, and your sweet, whispered reply of, "Of course. It's not really weird, I'll help you with anything."
You pulled back the covers and moved over to the side, patting the now empty spot you left open for him to lay down on. Your usually stoic best friend immediately crawls onto the bed with you, taking a few deep breaths before turning to the side and gently wrapping his arms around your body and burying his face into the crook of your neck with a muttered, "Thank you." One of your hands finds its way to his back, rubbing slow and gentle circles to soothe him, the other in his hair, playing with his soft, jet-black locks. You can feel his cheeks heating up, telling you he's blushing, but something's up. "You okay, Megumi?" Your soft voice is like a beautiful symphony to his ears, "You wanted to cuddle with me, but you still can't fall asleep. Is there something else you need?" He nods, and he gently takes your hand out of his hair and places it on his chest. It's flattering, to say the least. "How's this helping you sleep.." you sigh. He yawns, and he replies, "It'll help me fall asleep faster if I focus on your touch, y/n," he sighs, happy and content, "..it also reminds me of why I need to keep going.. because if I don't keep going, then I won't be able to be near you anymore.." he admits in a gentle whisper.
"Megumi.." you start to feel the blush creeping up on your own cheeks now, "..you're too kind for this cruel world..." His hand comes up to hold your hand that's on his chest, and he brings the back of your hand to his lips, giving it a soft kiss as a sweet, silent thank you. Your head leans over, now resting on his chest. You want, no, need to be closer to him. This.. this was special to him. He had enough of hiding his feelings. It's been too long. His hand finds his way into your hair, and he gently kisses the crown of your head, "I love you, y/n. I always.. always will.." he sighs, affectionately kissing your forehead. "Megumi, I love you too," you smile, overjoyed but exhausted, so you just melt into his gentle touches. He gently cups your cheeks with both hands, and angles your face up to look at him. You lock eyes, and you give him the nod before he connects your lips in the most gentle kiss you could dream of. He's so content with your presence, and his eyes wander to all of your pretty pieces of artwork, especially the picture of butterflies you painted with him when you went out with Itadori and Nobara for your birthday a few weeks ago.
"That picture of butterflies you painted reminds me of myself, love."
"How so, Megumi?"
"Because that's what I feel every time I see you."
