Gumi
Y/N, Gojo is still not here.
Your eyebrows scrunch as you read Megumi's text. You take a glance at the clock and it is twenty minutes past his school time. Where the fuck is Satoru?
Y/N
Wait a second, 'gumi.
Your fingers move fast on your phone, not hesitating to dial your boyfriend's number. He answered within two rings.
"My love, my dearest love, I miss you so-"
"Where are you?" Your voice is devoid of amusement.
Satoru's grin slowly drops at your tone. You sound serious. What did he do? "Um- basketball practice?"
Suguru glances at him but the white haired sorcerer just shrugs him off. His mind already thinking thousands of scenarios and thoughts if he forgot something. His bestfriend then taps his wristwatch so Satoru looks at his... 3:23 P.M. Oh shit.
He hears Y/N sigh through the phone and Satoru visibly winces. "I'm sorry. I'll go get him right now."
She hungs up on him, not bothering to answer him back. Okay, he deserved that.
As he pockets his phone, he hears Suguru chuckling at him. "She mad?"
"Why didn't you tell me the time, idiot?" Satoru points at him as he dashes outside the gym.
"How is this my fault?!"
~~
Satoru sees Megumi sitting on a bench outside his classroom, little legs hanging and swinging slightly. When the child sees the tall man, he rolls his eyes and sighs loudly.
"Kid, I don't know where the attitude is coming from–"
"Are we gonna buy donuts for Y/N or not?" Megumi cuts him off, jumping off the bench then walking away.
His sunglass falls slightly down on the slope of his nose as his chin meets his chest to look at condescending six year old child who is currently walking away from him. However, Megumi did have a point. Gojo fucked up and the child knew that so he followed him with crossed arms.
"How's school?" Satoru asks, glancing down on him as they walk side by side.
"Fine." It's always one word answers when Megumi is talking to him so it's always end of conversations. But unfortunately for him, Gojo does not give up easily.
The tall sorcerer smirks, opening up another topic. "Any girl you crushing on?" When Megumi does not answer, he turns his head to him just to see a blush forming on his chubby cheeks. Gojo laughs loudly, "Ha! Who's the unlucky girl?"
Megumi gives him a glare, tiny hands gripping the straps of his backpack as he walks faster, trying to pass the irritating man. "None of your business."
"Oh, come on! Tell me. I promise I won't tell." Gojo traces a cross on his chest as he jogs back beside the black haired child.
The entire journey to Dunkin Donuts, Gojo kept pushing Megumi to tell him about his secret crush but the young Fushiguro only grumbled. He even tried to kick his shin only to be stopped by Infinity, making the white haired sorcerer laugh harder. Though, that didn't stop Megumi to try and hit him.
When Gojo was handed two boxes of donuts, he messes the child's hair only for his hand to be slapped away. "Let's go, kid. We have someone to go apologize for."
"You mean, you have someone to apologize for." He corrects the man.
"Whatever." They continue walking. "I won't drop this crush topic, just so you know. I'm honestly curious. And don't give up on them, okay? It's worth it."
When they got home, Megumi immediately rushes to his girlfriend like she is his mother. His girlfriend has a big smile on her pretty face as she hugs Megumi like he is her child. Gojo watches them on the doorstep, still holding the boxes of apology, not knowing what to feel. Oh wait, he feels invisible.
Gojo closes the door behind him, walking to the kitchen to place the donuts on the counter, as he hears Megumi talks about his entire day to Y/N, and she listens intently, still with a smile on her face. She is sitting on the sofa, elbows on her knees while Megumi is sitting cross-legged on the floor, bringing things out from his backpack. All of the sudden, he is the most talkative child.
When he hears his girlfriend slash the love of his life laugh, he quickly walks back to the living room to see what is happening. He blinks at what he sees. "Hey!"
Y/N turns her head to him, "Oh, you're there."
Megumi, the devil child, is sitting on her lap, short legs around her torso, and his head leaning on his girlfriend's chest, looking comfortable as hell. She has her arms around his tiny body, one hand stroking his hair.
"What are you doing?"
His girlfriend raises an eyebrow at him, "We're cuddling because you made him wait on school for almost half an hour."
Since Megumi's cheek is smushed on top of her chest, Y/N can't see the child's expression, who is looking at him with a small smirk.
Gojo lets out a fake laugh. Why does he feel defeated? He points at the child, walking closer to them, "You, get out of there. That's my place."
Megumi whines. The most mature child he knew whined, turning his head to bury his face on Y/N's neck. He isn't able to do anything but watch them with parted lips and raised eyebrows.
She frowns at him, "Satoru!" He watches as she hugs him tighter, leaning back more on the sofa so the infuriating child would be more comfortable. "There, there, 'gumi. You can sleep here." One of her hand is slowly and gently patting the child's back, trying to lull him to sleep.
"Baby!" Satoru stomps, not believing what he's seeing. "I'm your boyfriend."
Y/N only glances at him, shrugging as she continues to make Megumi fall asleep. "Shh."
"I brought you donuts!"
"Sator–"
"He's acting!" The tall man whisper-yelled, gesturing at the child laying on top of her.
She sighs at his accuse and kisses the top of Megumi's head, closing her eyes, too. She doesn't have time to amuse him.
Satoru shuts his mouth and crosses his arms, staring at the two of them. It should be him laying there. He gives up with an exhale, and decides to just take a bath. After thirty minutes of hot bath, he feels refreshed. He comes back to the living room to check his loves. Y/N looks like she's in a deep sleep already, Megumi is still on the same position, however, he is awake, playing with his girlfriend's hair.
"Oi." The white haired man mumbles, standing in front of the child's gaze. Megumi's eyes meet his, not answering him. He rolls his blue eyes, pursing his lips. "What is this?" He gestures them with a wave of his hand, and Megumi only scrunches his eyebrows at him. Satoru quietly scoffs, "Don't act innocent, kid. You know what you're doing."
That sentence seems like it pushes Megumi to move. He slowly and carefully entangles himself from Y/N's loose grip and when he succeeds, Gojo watches the child put a pillow on his previous place and a blanket on top of her, making sure she was well tucked in. The fuck?
Megumi walks to his room and Gojo immediately follows him, closing the door so Y/N won't be disturbed because he is damn well about to scold this six year old devil.
"What's your deal, huh? Why are you taking my girlfriend from me?" He asks as soon as the door closes.
The young Fushiguro turns his body to him, hands on his waist like an adult. "Y/N is mine."
Gojo's lips part in surprise and he repeatedly shakes his head, "No, no, no... You can have anything in this house but her."
"No, I only want her. You can have anything in this house but her instead."
The tall sorcerer scratches his head as he looks down on this stubborn child, "I said no."
"You said not to give up on her!" The child answers back, an angry pout on his small face.
The man takes a second to realize what he meant. "She is your crush?!" He shockingly asked, eyebrows raising to his forehead. When the child did not answer and only blushed, Gojo shakes two pointer fingers on him. "No! Anyone but her. Give up now!"
Megumi frowns at him, "You already have everything. Why can't I have Y/N? You're greedy."
Gojo leans his body down so they're eye to eye, a smirk on his face. "'Coz she's mine."
"If we made her choose, she'll choose me." Megumi blurts out.
"Fuck you."
"Gojo!"
Satoru presses his lips together when he hears his girlfriend's voice. She called him by his last name... Why didn't he hear the door opening?! He slowly turns his body to face her, ready to apologize but Megumi is already passed him, running to her with an almost crying face.
Y/N kneels down, cupping the child's cheeks. Is he crying? Is the devil child actually crying?!
When angry eyes meet his, he quickly looks down on the ground, fingers playing with each other. "Did you just seriously cursed at him?"
He can't take this anymore. "He's acting, Y/N! Why can't you see that?"
"He's a child!"
"A child who's not easily offended with whatever I'm saying. He becomes like this when he sees you!"
His girlfriend disappointedly shakes her head at him, picking the fake-crying child on her arms. "Picking a fight with a child... you're more childish than him, Satoru." When she turns her back on him to walk away, Gojo meets Megumi's teary triumphant eyes. The child of the devil (literally) is actually smirking and when he sticks his tongue out on him, Gojo childishly raises his middle finger as an answer.
~~
"So he's taking Y/N from you?"
"Yes! Can you believe the nerve?"
Suguru tiredly sighs at Satoru's rant. He really does not know what to say to his man-child friend. "I'm pretty sure Megumi needs more attention than you."
Satoru loudly gasp, "How dare you? Whose side are you on? I'm telling you that kid is from hell! He acts like this little angel when he's around Y/N and when she's not, he's the most gremlin two-faced kid there is."
"Satoru, can you hear yourself?"
"Yes and it looks like you're not hearing me. Megumi is a menace!"
The long haired man dejectedly nods, "Okay, okay. Meg is a menace."
"Finally!" Satoru raises two hands because he finally understands him. "And now, Y/N is mad at me when I've done nothing wrong."
Suguru says the first thing that comes to his mind, "She's mad because you cursed at her child."
"Meg's not her child!"
"She is basically his mother, Satoru. And you're taking that away from him, of course he's gonna act like this. He knew her before you guys got together." Suguru explains, lighting up a cigarette.
"What are you saying?" Gojo unhappily asks.
The other sorcerer inhales a drag, "Y/N is Megumi's acting mother. Aside from you– well, if he sees you like a parent, Y/N is the only parental figure he has. And your girlfriend knows this, that's why she's protective over him."
Satoru tries to understand Suguru's explanation. In fact, it stayed on his mind the whole day until he picks Megumi from school again. He is on time today.
The child does not spare him a glance and he silently follows behind him, staring down at the back of his head. He is still thinking about what Suguru said. Of course, Geto is wiser than him, and he helped him see the bigger picture.
Gojo catches up with Megumi within two steps, facing him. He bend his knees so they're eye to eye. "Okay, Meg. Let's make a deal here. Let's stand on the same ground, 'kay?"
"What?" Megumi blinks.
"Do you like making Y/N happy?"
"Yes."
"Okay, so do I. Will you protect her from danger?"
The child frowns. Right now, he can't. "I will."
Satoru's lips curled up to a smirk, "I will, too. I will protect her from anyone, and starting now, I will not protect her from you."
"Huh?" Megumi frowns harder, not understanding what he's saying.
"Shit, how do I say this?" Satoru mumbles to himself, licking his lower lips only to bite it, deep in thoughts. "What I'm saying is let's both make her happy, let's both protect her, you know? Same ground."
The Fushiguro thinks for ten seconds. "Is that possible?"
Satoru grins, "Course it's possible! She'll have the two of us. She'll be the most loved and most protected person in the world."
Megumi thinks about his answer like it was a life and death situation. If this fails, Satoru doesn't know what to do next, but then Megumi nodded with a small 'okay'.
"Yeah! Thanks, Meg!" He messes with the child's hair, and this time he allowed him, just rolling his eyes on the adult.
~~
As usual, Megumi talked to Y/N about his day the moment they got home. She is still not talking to him since last night, and he misses her. With a quiet sigh, he goes to their bedroom, hoping she'll talk to him tonight.
Satoru is woken up with fingers running on his hair and when he opens his eyes, they meet Y/N's. His heart is quick to respond as it beats rapidly against his chest. "Hi." He whispers, afraid he'll ruin the moment they are having.
She glances on his lips for a quick second, then her gaze goes back to his. Her fingers are still playing with his hair, and if she does this for a minute longer, he might purr. "Hi."
The man grabs her wrist that is on his head then he leaves a kiss on the pad of her fingers, closing his eyes as he does so. "I'm sorry."
Y/N hums, just watching him. "'gumi said you guys made up."
He nods, opening his eyes to look at her. "Yeah... I think so."
A small smile appears on her face as she speaks softly, "If he says so, then you guys did."
Satoru pouts, "You're believing him more than me."
Her smile widens as she touches his lower lip with her thumb, "A child does not lie."
She really doesn't realize what she's doing to him right now. He might die wih how his heart is beating so fast from all her touches. "He loves you."
The softest look appears on her pretty face from his words, "Yeah, and I love him, too. Both of you."
A grin forms on his lips then he kisses her thumb. "I love you."
They longingly stare at each other for several seconds, not wanting to break the moment– smiles on both of their faces.
As quick as a lightning, Satoru licks her thumb, making her pull her hand away with a gasp. "Gojo, you're disgusting!"
The white haired man laughs, trying to grab her wrists to do it again but she pulls her arms, fighting back. Not long after, she is laughing, too, as she loses the will to fight back, allowing him to pull her on the bed. Satoru leaves kisses all over her face, saying the three words every kiss.
On the other side of the door, Megumi quietly walks away with a smile.
