Scars (Itafushi)

AN: Hi Hi!! Yes, I know this is a SatoSugu Oneshot book but I saw this art and had to write a chapter for it! Credit to @MyaraAme on twitter. I hope you enjoy!)

It has been 2 years since Yuji successfully soul swapped to save Megumi and Gojo landed the final blow to Sukuna. Tokyo Jujustu High went through a complete remodel, building and staff. Gojo took the higher ups place and made the school into a safe place for sorcerers. Yuji and Megumi stayed close to the school and helped Gojo every now and then.

"Do you still want me to order the movie tickets for Friday?" Megumi asked while walking into the living room. He sat on the couch beside Yuji and moved his phone towards him. "They have limited choices on the time." Yuji leaned over and scanned the listed times. "9 should be fine! You get off work early on Friday's anyways, right?" Megumi nodded and moved his phone to his lap, ordering two tickets. "Same seats?" Yuji nodded excitedly. He watched as Megumi focused on his phone, admiring his boyfriend. Every time he looked at Megumi he became thankful that Megumi survived unscathed. Unlike himself.

Yuji was very insecure of the scars that littered his face. The marks reminding him of everyone that didn't survive. He rarely looked into mirrors or took photos anymore (unless Megumi requested one, he couldn't say no to him). Despite his hatred of the scars, he never showed how much they truly bothered him. Yuji was never one to lay his burdens onto others.

"Yuji?" The low sound of Megumi's voice broke Yuji out of his thoughts. "Yea?" "I asked if you wanted me to start dinner." Yuji chuckled and nodded. "Sure! I'll never say no to food." That response made Megumi smile. "Alright." He said while standing from the couch. Yuji pouted as he watched Megumi leave to the kitchen. "You forgot something." Megumi stopped and raised an eyebrow before rolling his eyes and coming back. He leaned over the back of the couch and pressed a gentle kiss to Yuji's forehead. "Thank you, handsome." Yuji giggled while flipping through channels.

Yuji waited excitedly for Megumi to get home. They tried to have a date every Friday, whether it was at home or going to do something. This week they planned to go see a spin off movie from Yuji's favorite film series. "I'm home, Yuji!" Megumi shouted as he tossed his keys into the small bowl by the door and slid his shoes off. "Welcome home! How did work go?" Yuji asked while grabbing Megumi's bag for him. "The usual. Gojo made the class sit through another one of his infamous love stories between him and Geto." Megumi sighed. "Certified yearner, isn't he?" "Definitely. I don't mind it, I just wish he wouldn't interrupt my classes for it." Yuji walked to their bedroom and hung the bag on its reserved hook with Megumi following behind. "I'm going to hop in the shower. Do you need to take one as well?" Yuji asked while grabbing his folded outfit he picked out earlier. "I'm alright, go ahead. I'll wait in the living room."

The sound of running water filled the bathroom while Yuji began to strip. His back stayed towards the mirror. A sigh of relief left him as the hot water loosened his muscles. He hummed softly while lathering the soap into his hair, leaning forward to let the water rinse the suds out. Once he was finished, he grabbed the towel and dried his hair, wrapping the towel around his waist to step out.

Yuji slipped his jeans on and began to do the same with his shirt but stopped when his eyes caught a glimpse of his chest. 'I forgot about this one.' He thought as he continued, concealing the disgusting mark. He tossed on his hoodie and looked at his outfit in the mirror, not allowing himself to look up any further. Or so he thought. The curiosity got the best of him. Yuji took a breath before letting his eyes move to his face. They trailed along the jagged edges of the largest scar, his hand gently brushing over the smaller scar that resided by his mouth. Yuji felt his heart begin to race, his breathing growing more rapid by the second. His thoughts were overloaded by flashbacks and his hearing became muffled with a loud ringing in his ears.

"Yuji? If we don't leave soon, we'll be late." Megumi knocked against the door gently, waiting for Yuji's voice to respond. When it never came through he turned the knob and gently opened the door to find Yuji sitting in the floor, his back against the farthest wall. Yuji's hands trembled, his chest heaving as Yuji tried to calm himself down. Megumi moved to Yuji immediately, his hands cupping Yuji's face to tilt his head up. "Hey, Hey. Yuji. Look at me, baby. Focus on me, alright?" Yuji blinked a few times as Megumi's voice broke through the ringing in his ears. "That's it. I'm right here, see?" Megumi's calm and gentle tone allowed Yuji to slow his breaths. Yuji nodded slightly as he felt himself calming down. This wasn't an uncommon occurrence. They both had their fair share of break downs and nightmares, so each one knew how to react.

Megumi's thumbs caressed Yuji's cheeks gently as his eyes searched Yuji's. "What caused it?" Megumi whispered as he sat in front of Yuji. Yuji didn't want to admit it, feeling that his scars shouldn't cause such issues but he knew Megumi would know if he lied. He took another deep breath and mumbled, "M-My scars." He looked down and ran a hand through his damp hair. Megumi moved his hand under Yuji's chin to tilt his head up again. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against Yuji's forehead, lingering for a few seconds before pulling away. He then moved lower and pressed his lips against Yuji's. Yuji felt his anxieties melt away, his only focus being on Megumi now. Megumi moved his hand to Yuji's and laced his finger's with Yuji's before pulling away. Megumi raised their interlocked hands to his lips, pressing a final kiss to the back of Yuji's hand.

"You're beautiful." Megumi mumbled with a soft smile. Yuji felt his heart flutter in his chest. Tears swelled in the corner of his eyes. He didn't understand how or why Megumi loved him so much, but he didn't dare question it. Yuji only knew that he was never letting go of him.
