˙ ✩°˖🍋 you’ve got yourself a citrus friend.
[megumi fushiguro x reader, wc: 765, no use of y/n!]
inspired by lemon boy - cave town <3
précis: megumi thought he would always be mean till he met you, who brought his sweetness out. he got soo nervy and got distant gasp!!
megumi had always been sour.
his energy never matched the people around him. he was stoic, serious, indifferent. hell, even mean sometimes.
he just decided to accept it. he’d just been born sour, not much he could do about that.
it was the first day of freshman year. sure, you two knew each other existed, but hadn’t really interacted. the teacher had assigned a seating chart in math, and you were sat next to megumi. nothing crazy. but math was definitely your weakest subject. you sighed, and out of defeat turned to the boy next to you during a worksheet and asked him for help. he explained it in the most bare minimum way, which was still uncommon for somebody as bitter as him.
you started asking him for help a lot in math, and after many times of him reluctantly agreeing, eventually you two were talking about other things. the passive aggressive honors english teacher. the history teacher who’s lowkey kind of insane, even the new principal who’s a bitch interesting person!
you learned it was actually pretty easy to be nice to be a bitter boy like megumi.
you guys were friends. he introduced you to his two friends, nobara and yuji, and while you tried to introduce him to your friends, they were more of the savory type. they lived for loud, energetic people. but that’s okay. you wouldn’t try to change megumi to make him fit in.
you guys kept getting close. walking home together since you lived so close, coffee after school, movies, hanging out at each others houses after school. you and this lemon boy were getting along pretty well!
you guys were even sophomores now, woah! though. you noticed that megumi had been pulling back. he didn’t reply to your texts as often. he stopped asking you to hangout. you figured he needed space. maybe you did something.
well for megumi, your sweetness started to rub off on him. he talked to yuji about how he started feeling different towards you. he started being sweet towards you and not sour like he is to everyone else, and yuji just told him it sounds like he has a crush on you. he even told nobara, and she said the same thing. and how did he deal with it? he panicked and started pushing you away! great idea! FUCKINF MORON
after a whole month of him being distant and just ignoring you when you asked what you did, you got fed up and tried to talk to nobara and yuji. they decided to be all secretive and let you handle it. real helpful..
you eventually got so fed up that you came to his house and asked his older sister, bless her heart, to let you in to see megumi. she happily let you in, since she knew you. and how you hadn’t been over in a while.
you knocked on his door and heard a muffled ‘come in’, and pushed the door open.
he closed his mouth real quick, because you were infact not gojo or tsumiki.
“..why have you been avoiding me?”
you cut him off. he could tell you were upset.
“yes you have! i’m not stupid, megumi. did i do something? me and you barely speak now, and i feel like everyone else knows why besides me.”
he hadn’t ever seen you this frustrated. it seems his bitterness had rubbed off on you a bit..
he hesitated, letting out an exhale.
“..you didn’t do anything. i kind of was avoiding you.”
your eyes softened at his confession, waiting for him to continue.
“i told yuji about how i enjoyed being around you. how i wasn’t sour towards you compared to other people. i panicked.”
“you couldn’t just, like, tell me? or have yuji tell me?”
“..it would’ve made things awkward.”
“i think you avoiding me for a month made things awkward..”
“megumi, you can’t just push people away because your worried about something that could never happen. that’s like worrying about clouds running out of rain.”
“i’m sorry. i should’ve just told you.”
you stayed silent for a moment before continuing.
“..soo like, is this your way of telling me you have a crush on me?”
you chuckled, leaning down to hug him while he was sat on his bed, your arms snaking around his shoulders, smell of his citrusy cologne filling your nose.
“..we could’ve talked this out ages ago over like, a lemon pie or something.”
..seems like you’ve got yourself a lemon boy on your hands.
