as kyoto j. central packed their bags and left, everybody in tokyo j. central rushed down the halls like a river. groups of girls squealing and clinging onto each other, groups of guys cheering up all of the football crew as they made their way off the pitch.
clearing the sweat off of your face, you turned to nobara with a gentle smile. ''wanna go shopping like everybody else?'', you knew she wouldn't reject, already forming stars in her eyes.
''of courseeee!! lets drag the guys along,'' she winked, nudging your side, electing a sigh out of you, not bothering to deny. ''there's a little festival we can all spend time at before we leave for paris.''
fishing her phone out, just to be met with the apple logo and a black screen.
''..mind texting the groupchat for me?''
nobara chatting your ear off as the two of you strolled into the mall, both of you keeping an eye out for the two dorks you had to meet up with.
slowly getting comfortable with megumi and yuji was a big step for you. especially with new surroundings, nobara was the one that reached out to you at first, probably from noticing your lone figure in the changing rooms after cheer practise, or always working alone in shared classes.
she slowly knocked down that wall, but only halfway.
''YOOOOOOOOOOOOO!'' yuji erupted with a shining grin, causing bystanders to quicken their pace, side-eye him, or even snicker at him.
''shut it, goober!'' the bob-haired girl tutted next to you, slapping a hand across the back of his head.
“will you two stop? this is embarrassing,” megumi huffed, slowly inching closer step by step, hands crossed over his black and white graphic t-shirt, styled with dark semi-baggy jeans and a belt hanging loosely at the side.
oh boy was he hot right now.
just wishing to comb your fingers through his soft jet black hair, curling up against that chest, his slim but steady hands cradling the back of your head…
as the two obnoxious people in the group bickered from the sidelines, walking to whatever shop first, megumi was mainly beside you.
eyes flickering down to the tee you were wearing, lazily lifting a finger to point at it. “you got the kemori ori shirt?” his voice was dry, like a rock being scraped against concrete.
“oh! uhm, yea. delivery was quick.” a sheepish smile grazed your lips, fingers curling underneath the fabric.
he hummed, tilting his head back a little. “well, i hope it did, they’re only in japan after all.” he slightly teased, a brow raised.
“i’m not gonna bicker like those two!” you stood your ground, nudging your elbow into his side, watching as the faintest smile dared to appear on his lips.
a long shopping trip thanks to megumi’s abuse of his caretaker satoru gojo’s card. luckily enough he was a ceo of loads of companies and had a black hole of a wallet.
“festival time!” yuji and nobara announced in sync, skipping to the bright lights in the distance like moths.
did they purposely leave you two alone?
beams of neon stretches across the flooring tiles of the pavement, kids running around as their family tries to catch up to them.
“you look cold.” he huffed out, dragging a dark brow up as he studied you. the goosebumps available on your skin, hairs standing up tall like they’re in an army.
moving your arms to curl around yourself, a shudder leaving you. “i’m fine, just the change of atmosphere.” you muttered.
then, an arm wrapped around yourself shoulder and into a hard side.
“i don’t have a jacket to offer.” megumi mumbled, his head turned as the two of you kept walking. little shimmers in your eyes as you gazed up at him.
nodding your head, blush pampering your cheekbones. “it’s okay. it’s the thought that matters.” shrugging casually, like there isn’t a aching sensation in your abdomen.
not knowing where nobara and yuji went, both of you decided just to walk around, browse, play clearly rigged games, all while still practically being glued hip-to-hip.
“heya there! wanna win a teddy bear for your little girlfriend here?” a vendor called out, pointing to a mini variety of stuffed animals, to large ones. they were cute. soft material, cute pastel colours, beady eyes that hooked you in.
the game was ‘ tic - tac - toe ‘. pay for rope hoops, throw them, hope they hook onto a peg. simples.
the dark-haired boy sighed, rubbing at his neck before popping his knuckles to impress you? “sure.” navy blues locked onto the vendor with a smug tint, handing him enough money for about 5 hoops.
as the old man was setting up the station, megumi’s tongue perked out to lick at his ring shark bites piercing.
it slipped your mind that he didn’t correct the vendor.
agreeing to play with a smug smirk on his lips, arm still around you before he had to pull away.
pretty much you walked away with a large stuffed bunny and a little wolf plush. it reminded you of megumi
megumi meanwhile, took ahold of all of your bags, only a couple were his.
“yuji! nobara!” you yelled out, a furrow in your brow and a grunt as you see the two submerge.
wacky gadgets they bought with their tickets from the arcade, a churro in nobara’s mouth, and yuji’s grimy fingers with BBQ sauce. “yeeeuck!” not letting him touch you or your things until he got it off.
shuffling bags around in her hands and draped over her arms, nobara groaned “i’m tired, can we all have a sleepover?”
“yeah… i feel like im going to pass out.” you chided in, a tension forming in your temples.
everyone has their suitcases all packed for tomorrow, chatter mixed with yawns, uno interrupted with stretches, blah blah. tired dorm life.
up until bodies sprawled across a large airbed. spider-man ; into the spiderverse just finished and it was time for the second movie.
“miles is so hot, i cant lie.” nobara spoke with popcorn in her mouth, “the music is so sick!” yuji chirped, a wide grin on his face.
and you… were falling asleep.
in an uncomfortable position.
bodies crumpled next to both of your sides, no soft support to your neck; only the firmness of the backboard of the couch. yuji already hogging up half of the pillows.
the movie was good, of course it was. this was cinema. but after the day you had, you just wanted to hibernate until the alarm goes off for the airport.
glancing around, lazily toying with the threads of your oversized pj jumper. then, a small ‘psst’ catches your attention, head snapping to the side.
“nobara?” you whispered, eyes squinting to try see her in the shadows and bleary eyes. “what is it…?” shifting to lean your head over.
a hand moving to your shoulder and shaking it lightly, “cmon, now’s your chance. sleep on him!” she whisper-yelled over the movie’s soundtrack, grinning victoriously. was she serious or teasing? probably serious.
“it’s so cliche.” puffing her chest out proudly.
sighing. - “fine…” nudging her side away from you so you could have a little bit more space.
were you really considering this?… nah… let’s not.
curling up, twisting and turning for spaces that your body wasn’t bent upward, finding a somewhat okay position to nap in.
eyes shutting, breath evening out, you were in dreamland.
“dude, that does not look comfortable.” yuji spoke up, 20 minutes later after he came back from a bathroom break.
megumi eyed down at you, studying your position like he did with your outfit, a conclusion calculating in his brain.
arm taking place around you once more, gingerly moving you into his chest.
nobara snoring in the back, muffling yuji’s giggles as he watches from the side of his eye. “you plan to tell her anything?” he teased.
4:15 , TIME TO HEAD TO THE AIRPORT!
as your alarm went off, you awoke with a soft cushion underneath your head. looking around and seeing that nobara and yuji were now stretching awake.
turns out he woke up an hour earlier; getting ready, buying drinks from a café for everyone and some breakfast.
dressing yourself into your airport outfit after waiting for yuji to get out of the bathroom, everyone was set.
tanoids going off as classes squashed together infront of the school, many coaches were parked in a line, teachers calling out registration for their groups of who they were in charge of monitoring (meanwhile other staff and teachers stayed behind at the school for the pupils who couldn’t go).
“isn’t this so exciting?” nobara clung onto your arm, “you should totally partner up with megumi for the seaaaaats~” she cooed in a joking manner.
kicking a stray stone, “maybe i will,” you laughed. “i need to get used to him, he needs to get used to me, if he’ll like me the same.”
finally attempting one of nobara’s stupid ideas, you kept an eye out for the spikey haired boy.
yuji just turned up, agreeing to pair up with nobara as she asked, “i’ll see you at the bus, kay?” she patted your shoulder before leaving.
leaving you standing there like a fool.
finally managing to spot megumi in the crowd of people, you stepped forward, “oh! megumi wanna pair up for-“ you cut your sentence short.
because megumi wasn’t by himself.
a girl clung to his side, big green eyes, curled ends of her blonde bob, fairly pale skin…
“hm? what was that?” he looked down at you, pausing his movements.
“…nevermind.” shaking your head, a weak smile on your face.
offering you a second longer before walking away.
you had no partner, no friend, no one.
your smile dropped. did he have a girlfriend? you have a massive crush on him, and he’s taken? god.
looking around again, you didn’t know anyone’s face.
“uhm, excuse me? want to partner up?” a gentle voice and a light tap to your arm. “i don’t have anyone else either…”
the quiet girl in your cheering class before she had to switch due to harsh bullying from the others.
“oh, sure.” your lips picked themselves back up, a smile.
you were obviously still hurt from before, but you couldn’t let someone else down because of how you were feeling.
walking side by side, you moved to an entire different coach.
you can see them when you get off, it was time for you to get out of your bubble.
