[ Akira finishes up the errands and returns with two bags in his hands, walking and taking public transportation the rest of the way to the apartment. He struggles to open the door, but manages, coming inside and slipping off his shoes after announcing his presence. ]

I’m home!

[ Was it home? It felt like home. He just kind of started considering this home. He busies himself putting the items away before approaching Megumi with his snacks and coffee. ]

Yo! Feeling good?

[ Akira was about to take a seat on the floor when Megumi casts a shadow puppet and.. right before his eyes he sees a bunch of bunnies. His breath hitches and his eyes grow wide. What kind of sorcery is this?

.. Oh, wait, yeah. He's a sorcerer so it makes sense.

Instantly Akira crouches down to the bunnies, mouth gaping. He's impressed.. and delighted! ]


Woah.. amazing! Oh! That one looks like Cottontail!

[ Apparently one of them looks like the school rabbit from home. Akira crawls on his hands and knees to that particular rabbit, looking at it and smiling before looking at Megumi. ]

I don't get it. Why can you do something like this?

[ For being a demon hybrid, one would think that he might have predatory instincts towards things that looked innocent or soft, but Akira's temperament and love for innocent creatures snuffed out any reckless violence against them. He sits back on his haunches on the floor and buries his face in the soft fur of the bunny as Megumi speaks before facing him fully. He blinks a few times, bold eyebrows lifting high enough to conceal under his fluffy bangs. ]

You wouldn't be an enemy to me, Megumi-kun. Even if you tried to kill me, I would try to reason with you first and make you understand. It's human nature to be scared of the things we don't understand.. but I think you would understand my situation even if I technically was on your opposing team.

[ So much faith in Megumi. Akira sounds absolutely certain this is what would happen. He admires the rabbit in his hands again, mimicking its nose twitch with a smile on his face. ]

We would be friends.. like we're friends here.
mrfuckwit: (( 150. ))

[personal profile] mrfuckwit 2022-09-15 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Are we not friends?

[ News to him. Akira takes position to the floor again, allowing all the rabbits to come to him, he seems very happy with his prospect and eventually lies on his back on the floor, allowing them to hop around and on him. So nice.. rabbit heaven. ]

Hey.. don't go around telling everyone I like rabbits, okay?

[ it's kind of girly ]

[personal profile] mrfuckwit 2022-09-16 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Woohoo..! Glad you feel the same way.. otherwise I'd just feel like a big moocher living here.

[ You're still.. a big moocher living here? His enthusiasm might have frightened some rabbits away, but a few brave ones stick around, and he's eager to give them some pets and affection. There's a moment where Akira actually falls quiet, believe it or not. He's thinking back when he was first accepted into Miki's home, even though that was such a long time ago and he was a kid. Living under someone else's roof like this really made him feel nostalgic. His smile fades slightly, once again beginning to miss her. What was she doing? Was she going to be okay? He can't get too distracted here. He needs to fulfill his contract to get back to her.

Akira looks at Megumi quietly.

And yet, it wasn't terrible being here. He didn't have to worry about the oncoming apocalypse, but that was such a bad way of thinking. After all, he felt responsible for protecting humanity. ]

[ At the prospect of being offered a snack, Akira rolls over on his hands and knees and crawls over to Megumi, sitting up on his haunches and taking the snack. He nibbles on it.

He could do the main character thing where he doesn’t open up, but let’s be real. He doesn’t exactly do that. ]


I miss the people I care about back home.. I was in a situation where I lived with people who weren’t blood related to me. Being here reminds me of that, so I’m worried about them.. especially when demons were on the brink of attempting a take over— reclaiming Earth as their own.

I get worried.. and then get mad at myself for ending up here when I am needed back in my realm.

[ Akira’s hair feels coarse and thick. He pauses his crunching when he feels the positive contact, not sure what to make of it. If his tail has been out, it probably would be wagging. Apart of him wants to protest it, but another part of him likes it.. so he allows it for now.

What Megumi says makes his brows pull together in both concern and stubbornness. He didn’t want to admit to him that he failed, but it was the truth. ]


No. It is my fault. I was battling a strong demon named Sirene. She had cut off my entire arm and punctured a hole through my body. Everything was getting dark.. I know I had to have died. If I had fought better, this would not have happened.

That’s why I cannot forgive myself. If humanity is jeopardized because of my weakness, I don’t know how I can live with that.

[personal profile] mrfuckwit 2022-09-18 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
I will.. and I will focus on my contract and leaving here. People back home need me, but..

[ Akira has his hands curled into fists, resting on his knees. He remembers the horrible death his parents faced at the hands of a demon and how Jinmen made him witness it— witness seeing his mother being torn into pieces, her blood and entrails splattering on the ground right before him as her body twisted in half like a popsicle stick. At that time, he had no idea that demons were awakening and wreaking havoc on the Earth. What he saw was a vision of the past that Jinmen showed him. He remembers losing his temper followed by crying in the dark tunnels underneath the ground where he fought Jinmen. The memory makes his blood boil— a lot quicker than when he was purely a human. His teeth and fangs bare and he suddenly stands up. The aura he radiates is like a light switch flipped without warning considering how soft he was just moments prior.

Akira couldn't help it. He became so temperamental— so heated so much easier and had also become a lot more wild and untamed ever since Amon merged with him. Megumi might feel a sense of threat coming from him.. but the threatening feeling wasn't directed at Megumi. ]


I can't just waste time. It could be too late.. something could happen.. someone I could die.. someone could die again...

[ Oh, he's getting out of breath and his hands are shaking. He knows this feeling. He's about to have a tantrum, which can sometimes get violent and dangerous. ]

I'm.. I gotta go out, I'm sorry, Megumi.

[ He's going to turn tail and head for the door unless the other boy stops him. ]

[ As Megumi is talking, Akira is disrobing, knowing damn well he’s going to transform at some point and release some of that pent up anger that he apparently didn’t completely get out when he first arrived here. His shirt gets discarded on the floor, followed by his tail popping out from over his waist band as he pulls his pants off, already shifting his lower half. The door opens and he says nothing, slamming it behind him.

What Megumi says doesn’t go unheard, though. It’s nice to have someone wait for him, but he doesn’t believe that Megumi was telling the truth.

A few hours do go by but eventually he does come back home— damp with blood and sweat. Traces of sand decorate his pelt when he walks in the door weakly, shutting the door behind him. As he walks in and toward the kitchen sink, he leaves little paw pad shaped foot prints behind. If Megumi is still present, he hasn’t acknowledged him as he starts to rinse himself off in the kitchen. ]

[ Akira looks up from the tap when he hears Megumi and blinks a few times, feeling a sense of appreciation for the younger boy for staying up like he promised. Akira doesn’t say anything, though, feeling the corners of his lips upturn in a soft smile.

He’s glad he knows where the wastelands are.. there’s plenty of rock formations to smash and monsters to kill.

He dampens a rag and works on removing more blood from his body, most of it youkai blood, but keeps oddly silent as he does this, not even responding to Megumi as that brief smile disappears. ]

[ He could just hop on the shower, but that is going to take more time.. so once he feels like he’s got all the wet blood off of him, he makes his way back over to the couch, instantly lying down with his head on the opposite end of where Megumi is sitting. Megumi will have the delight of having him prop his furry legs and feet on his lap, though. He shifts instantly, turning his body and face into the back cushions. ]

… I feel like it’s the only place I can go to really let my temper out. I’m a monster, so it’s fitting I go away to a place like that.

[ That is the message Akira was trying to convey before he ended up here. With demons surfacing on the Earth, there were humans beginning to rally and hunt demons. Of course, that is what he and Ryo were doing in their own way, but with Akira basically being what humans feared, he had to be careful with what information he shared back home. He could be hunted or put other people he loves in danger. Hearing Megumi say this visibly makes his muscles relax. He’s amazed at how both he and Yuuji have accepted him without fear. ]

It is hard to sleep sometimes.. I have visions and nightmares from memories the demon that melded with me had. In a way, I’m glimpsing into his world and his past.. so I don’t always sleep well.

[ His eyes close anyway and he exhales, trying to relax further now that he’s depleted so much energy. ]

I was never told I would have to deal with this.. or other traits and instincts that are disturbing.

[ He doesn't mind keeping his legs propped on Megumi and neither does he mind if the other boy continues to keep his hands on him. It's kind of soothing, in a way. He's never slept with someone else around him like this before. Miki wanted to sleep in his bed one night, but he was nervous her father would get angry to see them in bed together, so he rejected her invitation.

He has a feeling he would have slept better without a nightmare with her around.

Someting about what Megumi says is embarrassing, though, and Akira sputters slightly. ]


That's.. embarrassing. Running to you because of a nightmare.. I'm not a child, Megumi.. but..

[ He exhales again, allowing his tense muscles to sink into the couch further. ]

What I dream about sometimes haunts me. Maybe being around others would help me sleep better. I don't know. I've never tried.

[ yuuji was standing nearby, seemingly annoyed with megumi's decision to ruin the surprise. okay, yes ... he didn't tell his friend that he planned a special reveal of the gifts, maybe he had an idea to wait for the right moment to ambush gojo with the gifts when he least expects it— to make it more dramatic and uplifting. regardless, he didn't predict megumi would hand them over like they are exchanging a notebook.

so formal, so bland. ]


Dude ...

[ he gives megumi a little nudge on the shoulder, but— nothing can be done now. he finally greets gojo with a smile, he then points at his personal gift, hyping it up because he's actually proud of it. in all honesty, they both made the effort to give their teacher something he would enjoy, and in yuuji's case— maybe something he needs as well? ]

They are trendy, really popular here aaaand they will keep your eyes safe! You need the shades, right?!

[ something about gojo's abilities? even if they are heavily suppressed for now. eventually, he allowed the other man to settle on the sofa and get comfortable. ]

( the invitation isn't surprising, but there is some level of it that is cautiously suspicious: he figures that megumi will want to do something to try to make up for the alleged slight, or hurt feelings, even though it isn't necessary; that's just the way that megumi is, and bringing yuuji into it isn't a far reach. the two of them seem particularly close, in this place--something he's grateful for, in all honesty--and living together must also mean that they have to handle some things together, namely having their wayward teacher over for whatever it is he's coming over for.

it turns out to be, to some surprise, gifts: that much is a surprise, and while he holds his large hands out to receive the bundle of things, a pair of sunglasses and a few convenience store sweets, he lets out a low whistle, like it's a pile of treasure being deposited into his grip. )


Wa~ah, for me? ( it's his usual warm voice, completely content, as though he's resolved with himself that it's better to be this way in front of the kids. even if megumi wanted him to be more honest, he doesn't want to make either of them worry about him when it isn't necessary. ) Hang on, let me settle here...

( he maneuvers to the sofa so that he can take a seat at the corner, crossing one leg over the other so that he can put the snacks and the glasses in his lap. to yuuji, he gives a big thumbs-up. )

I need the shades, you're right! These are cute! ( closing his eyes, he takes off the pair he's been wearing--they get folded up into his pocket, and he makes a show of placing the gifted pair right onto the bridge of his nose, waiting to open his eyes once they're on properly. ) C'mere, let's share.

( there's a tilt of his head to megumi, too, indicating he means the both of them: and he's smiling his usual smile as he gestures towards the snacks in his lap. )

This is dinner, right~?

[ yuuji, on the other hand, was more than happy to accept the invite and flopped down next to his teacher. they end up fooling around for a bit with the ridiculous shades, in which he asked gojo to put them on and then proceeds to compliment how good they look on him. for a blissful moment, yuuji felt like he was back home, enjoying a casual day after school while hanging out with gojo and the others. it was bittersweet— in a sense, he didn't miss the anxiety of being alive yet he missed what they all had.

he waits for megumi to finish setting up the table, happily spreading his arm to brag about the beauty of his cooking. no, their dinner won't involve them having only sugary treats, but they can totally enjoy them after a proper meal. ]


Go wild. Eat as much as you want!

[ and of course, yuuji and megumi will join as well. there is no need to urge anyone into grabbing a plate and serving themselves; it's not their first time sharing a meal together, and hopefully, it won't be their last. as megumi joins them on the sofa and everyone had their share in hand, small talk aside, yuuji's forward honesty might be a bit too bold given the situation— but that's how he has always been, right? ]

Sensei.

[ he waits for gojo to give him his full attention, and then: ]

... how are you? and be honest.

[ after all, being in this city is a lot. their history as sorcerers, their upbringing, the burden on their shoulders, and the failures will always find their way to lurk behind them. while gojo is the strongest, the best, the formidable—

he is still human. ]

( it does start to feel like the old days--not that those days are very old, at least to him. it doesn't feel like it's been so long since he's seen either of them, no matter the time he's spent locked away; it's impossible to know how long he stayed trapped there before arriving here, hard to know when time seemed to stop within the confines of the prison realm, but even so, nights like these, spent in the warmth of yuuji's excited voice and megumi's glowering face, feel something akin to home. it feels less like they're trapped in some strange, foreign city and more like they're back in tokyo, enjoying a light evening together--which is why he settles in comfortably, taking up a plate so that he can dish himself up.

of course, compliments are due to the chef, which he gives, liberally--nothing wrong with hyping up yuuji's ego, after all, as he sets his dish on his lap, legs crossed comfortably to support it. the candies and sweets are, of course, tucked dutifully by his thigh; he hasn't forgotten about them, and he isn't the type to indulge much in regular food, anyway.

it's why he's idly toying with the piece of fish he's snagged onto his plate when yuuji speaks--and his brows lift in question over the rim of his new sunglasses.

it isn't strange to hear such a forward question from yuuji: he's perceptive, in a different way than megumi, but he still picks up on things without realizing; it's more that he isn't sure whether or not honesty suits the situation, or how to proceed. he's still wearing a smile as he sets his chopsticks down and smacks a hand onto yuuji's back, lightly, fondly. )


He~ey, what's with this? You guys are looking so glum. Shouldn't you be glad to see me? ( his hand draws back, fits up the chopsticks with one smooth move. ) ...Really, you don't need to worry about me. I'm just adjusting, you know? Moving...some thoughts around.

( it's honest, at least. he just isn't saying what those thoughts are. )
