Chapter summary: Megumi makes a peculiar suggestion. Can he and Yuuji resolve their problem?

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

Megumi pulled out the thing from his pocket and held it out with an open palm — clearly visible and boldly presented to Yuuji's eyes.

Yuuji looked at it with incredulousness.

"Where did you get that blunt from?"

--------

Megumi shrugged his shoulders.

"Found it when leaving our class today."

"What the hell!"

Megumi was quick to explain himself, stuttering.

"I—I didn't see who it was who lost it and no one went back to retrieve it, so I just picked it up from the floor!"

"So, because we can't simply have sex at the moment, you think it'll work out, if we hit a blunt first??"

Megumi shrugged his shoulders again, his eyes not meeting Yuuji's.

His attempt did sound silly and desperate, but since he was – in one way or another – the reason for Yuuji's mental blockade that held him back from having sex with him, he had found it reasonable to try even unorthodox ways in order to mend things between them.

Yuuji had looked at the blunt in the little plastic bag silently for almost a minute before shaking his head decisively.

"No, we can't do that. We aren't allowed to smoke weed in our dorm rooms."

Megumi was baffled.

"Since when do you care about rules?!"

Yuuji became defensive.

"We can't do this, okay?! It's a bad idea."

Yuuji took the plastic bag from Megumi and placed it on his nightstand — only after hesitating, holding the blunt in the air for a while.

Megumi asked himself why Yuuji wasn't throwing it away.

"So you do want to use it later."

Yuuji turned around rapidly, still defensive.

"If I burn it now, our whole room is gonna smell like weed!"

That reasoning didn't make sense to Megumi, but he also didn't know how to reply to that, so he let it be.

***

A few days had passed ever since Megumi had found the blunt and got his suggestion rejected by Yuuji. Megumi still thought that his ideas wasn't that bad, but Yuuji had not once mentioned it again, pretending to not know anything about it (last time Megumi checked, the blunt was still resting on top of Yuuji's nightstand).

However, one day, when Megumi came back to his room after his last class, Yuuji was already there and seemingly waiting for something or someone.

Upon meeting Megumi's gaze, his own gaze loosened — as though he had been anxiously waiting up until now.

"There you are," Yuuji muttered rather to himself as he grabbed Megumi's wrist to which the other could only react with perplexity.

Yuuji dragged Megumi to their bathroom. Their dorm room was one of the few that had its own bathroom.
