Work Text:
During goodwill event training Nobara got her ankle twisted and unfortunately Shoko was on her day off, so there was no way to heal her.
“Maki-San, don’t worry. I can still train—” she almost fell but Panda held her.
“Nobara, you’re now just over exerting yourself. You should rest.” Panda said.
“Shake-Shake”
“But Senpai—
“No excuses Nobara, you should rest” Maki then looked at Megumi, “Megumi, you should take her to her dorm.”
Panda and Inumaki look at her with shock. Nobara blushed a little.
“Ore (I)??” Megumi was startled.
“Yes, you. Panda, Toge and I have to go somewhere and then we will call Yuta.” Maki explained.
“Uh- okay.” Megumi said.
Megumi walked towards Nobara and then he placed her hand above his shoulder and held her waist with his other hand for support. He then took her to her dorm room and placed her on her bed.
“Since Ieri-San is not here I’ll go and grab a spray, you’ll feel a little better with it.”
“Fushiguro, I don’t need any perfume right now.”
“Pain relief spray, baka.”
Nobara laughed “I know, I know. I was just messing with you, like always.”
Megumi felt his cheeks turn red and he left the room to get the spray.
—————
Few minutes later he came back with spray. He was in deep thoughts.
“What’s wrong, Fushiguro?” Nobara asked.
It was as if he didn’t hear her and sat on her bed and took her leg in his hand then sprayed the pain relief spray on her ankle. He started to slowly massage her ankle so it doesn’t pain her much.
Nobara was surprised to see this caring and soft side of Megumi Fushiguro. She was just looking at him without blinking her eyes.
After a few minutes Megumi suddenly realized he wasn’t supposed to massage or rub after applying the spray.
“Ah, Gomen, Nobara. I wasn’t supposed to rub after the spray. Does it stink?”
Nobara was shocked when he said her name and not “Kugisaki”.
“What did you say?”
“Does it stink?” Megumi answered.
“No before that.”
“I wasn’t supposed to rub after the spray.” Megumi said.
“Before that.”
“Nobara—” oh-no did I call her by her name.
Both Megumi and Nobara felt heat on their cheeks and both of them weren’t looking at each other.
“Ahmm” Megumi clears his throat, “Does your leg stink?”
“No, it doesn’t.” Nobara shook her head.
“Are you hungry? It’s almost dinner time.”
“But Fushiguro, I can’t go —”
“Who said you’ve to walk, Nobara?
Nobara blushed again at her name.
“Stay here, I’ll bring it for you.” He walked towards the door, “For both of us.”
————
He came back after 20 minutes with both of their dinner plates. As he entered the room he saw Nobara had already changed into her shorts and top and she was trying to walk towards the bathroom but suddenly. . .
She was about to fall on the floor and again hurt herself but Megumi held her in his arms.
“What’s the rush, Kugisaki?” Megumi asked with a little anger, “You would’ve hurt yourself again.”
“Fushiguro, I want to go to the bathroom.”
“Hm, alright. I’ll take you.” Megumi said.
“Huh?? You??”
Before Nobara could say anything else, Megumi picked her up in the bridal style and took her inside the bathroom and placed her on the seat. He then came outside and shut the bathroom door.
“Call me when you’re done.” Megumi said.
*A minute later*
“Fushiguro.” Nobara called.
Megumi opened the door, got inside, then again picked her in the bridal style. Nobara’s arms were around Megumi’s neck and she was looking at his face softly. He walked towards her bed and was placing her gently on it.
“Thank you, Megumi.” Nobara said while looking in his eyes, when their faces were so close to each other.
Megumi looked in her eyes and caressed her cheeks with his fingers then placed his hand behind her head and said, “I’m always here for you, Nobara.”
He gently kissed her on her lips and to his surprise she kissed him back. She ran her hands through his hairs and they were kissing passionately and were lost in each other. Tongues dancing together and Megumi placed his other hand on her waist inside her top and felt her soft skin. She got goosebumps over her body with his touch.
“What are you doing Megumi Fushiguro? Your Best Friend just died? And you’re kissing your other Best Friend? You’re actually the worst person.” Voices said in Megumi’s head and he pulled over from the kiss.
“Gomen, Kugisaki. I-I shouldn’t have done this.” Megumi said and left her room.
“Wait, Fushiguro, dinner—” was all Nobara could say. She felt really hurt and cried all night without eating anything.
Megumi came outside and closed the door. He stood beside the door regretting what he had done. He did hear what she said and was able to hear her sniffing. But he didn’t know what to do next. His breathing became very fast and he was sweating, he was this close to a panic attack.
“Megumi!?” Said a familiar voice.
He looked up and saw it was Gojo-Sensei.
“Sensei!!”
“Are you okay, Megumi? What are you doing outside Nobara’s room this late night?” Gojo asked Megumi.
“I-I… ” were the only words Megumi could say. And he ran towards his room leaving Gojo unanswered.
But he is Gojo Satoru, he realized something has happened and he did see Nobara’s cursed energy on Megumi’s whole body and most around his lips. That wasn’t all, he could see a little shade of her lip balm that she usually applies.
Gojo sighed, “Why don’t you share anything with me, Megumi? I know you through and through, after all I raised you.”
Gojo knocked on Nobara's dorm room and opened it when she didn’t answer. “Nobara, are you—” he saw her wet eyes and Megumi’s cursed energy on her body. “—okay? You can share if something is bothering you.”
“Please go, Sensei.” She said and covered herself with her blanket.
“Alright, if you want you can share or ask anything about Megumi.”
“What? How do you know?” Nobara peeked out of her blanket.
“I'm the strongest, Nobara.” Gojo closed the door and lightly smiled, “I’m all of your Sensei, after all.”
