I haven't told him about the box yet ...

Or anything else that's happened.

[ And though he was shit at expressing this while Gojo was around, he missed him. ]

oh...
i just cried on him

[ Oh..... ]

Oh.

[ Oh.... ]

Are you still crying? [ Have to check, since this is over text. ]

no?

[ maybe. ]

[ his yuuji instincts are telling him this might be a lie. ]

Can I believe you?

maybe?

[ he doesn't believe him.

so hello, you are getting a phone call in your vulnerable moment. ]

[ woah! he's only sniffling a little... ]

... Hey, Fushiguro.

Hey. [ that certainly sounds like sniffing. he knew it. ]

I'm glad to see him too. Even if this isn't the most ideal situation.

It's good, right? I didn't say anything yet, but...

[ He's quiet for a moment. ]

... Do you think we can change things?

The fact that he doesn't remember anything that happened in Shibuya must mean that either his memories have been messed with, or the Overseer is able to pull people in from different points of time.

[ The former is concerning. The latter does present an opportunity. ]

If it's the latter, there is an opportunity we might be able to change things. [ Of course, he's a realist, so he doesn't want to get the other boy's hopes up. ]

But don't get too excited about that. If things had changed, then we probably wouldn't have any of those memories at all. [ If Gojo had come back fully prepared for what was going to happen in Shibuya, he would have wiped out Kenjaku from the very beginning. ]

Yeah, I guess that makes sense...

[ Time and space paradoxes are a little beyond Yuji even at the best of times, and he frowns a little as he stares up at the sky.

He's not hiding from Megumi, but... He's feeling a little distressed. That's all. ]

Do you think we should tell him what's going to happen? Do you think he wants to know?

It makes more sense to tell him what happened, if only for the chance that it might change things.

[ That's really all they can do with the information and options they have. He doesn't anticipate it will lead to a bad outcome if they tell him. It would be the logical thing to do.

However ... he wouldn't be himself, if all he is, is logical. ]

But he's calm and happy here so far. [ That will ruin everything. ]

Maybe we can wait a little bit?

[ The idea of doing something to upset Gojo-sensei doesn't sit well with Yuji, and it's clear from the awkward shift of his voice, the way he pauses, almost sadly. ]

Until we have to tell him.

[ It makes more sense to tell their teacher as soon as possible. Still, that would add a heavy weight on the man's shoulders, and he probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it until they find a way to use their cursed energy again. Megumi decides that it would only stress Gojo out. ]

We'll wait. [ The time to hit that oblivious man with all the tragedies that have struck in the span of 3 months will come. Right now, they can focus on settling in.

Anyway ... a mild topic change, to something lighter. ] By the way, he can turn into a leopard now.

[ And Megumi can turn into a large black wildcat, but he isn't involving himself in the conversation. He should warn Yuuji in case he finds a leopard sauntering around instead of their teacher. ]

[ Yuji knows Gojo-sensei a little bit - not as well as Megumi - and he thinks that his teacher would be able to handle the new... But why should he have to? As someone carrying the burdens of his own sadness and the terrible things he has done, he knows how nice it might be to forget some of it for a little while.

Gojo-sensei deserves to have the respite, even if he doesn't know he's getting it.

Fushiguro breaks him out of his thoughts with the rest of his words, though, and Yuji makes a surprised noise. ]

Woah, really? Is that normal?

[ Well, the ability to turn into an animal is obviously not normal, but it seems all too common in this place, with the magical potions the overseer had provided them. ]

Seems to be, for this place. He drank the same potion I did. [ But Megumi's learned to control his powers, so his cat-like qualities only come out when he needs a bit of agility. ]

Anyway, I'm just warning you in case you see a leopard at his house. Or run into him naked. [ Wait, where did that last part come from, it sounds way too specific ... ]

It must have been different to mine then. I suppose that makes sense...

[ Wait.

Wait. ]

Sensei was... Naked?

Yes. [ And on Megumi's lap. It's the most embarrassing thing he's ever been through. Of course, he doesn't reveal that next part. With the general awkward air around him, though, you can sense there was probably some sort of incident. ]

The clothes fall off when you transform. [ Which is probably why Yuji might notice Megumi always sauntering into the bathroom when he goes from animal to human. ]

Oh...

[ That makes sense. After a moment to calm down, to wipe his eyes, he snorts a little. Then he laughs. ]

Sensei was naked around you!

[ That is exactly what had happened, and he was hoping to change the topic before Yuji had come to that realization. Given how embarrassing the whole scene was - having a whole ass naked man on his lap - Megumi starts to fluster slightly, cheeks tinting in pink. ]

... Is it really that funny?

It's a little bit funny...

[ He laughs a little, quieter now. ]

I'm sorry, Fushiguro. I bet that was a shock.
