Summary
They stand shoulder to shoulder, leaning against the railing. Megumi watches the cherry of his cigarette burn, and strangely feels like he could just stay like this for a while. If it’s with him.
"Itadori..." Megumi starts. He wants to say thank you. For the help. For the night overall, really.
But the words die in his throat as a phone buzzes sharply in Itadori's pocket. He pulls it out and glances at the screen, and Megumi watches his entire body go rigid.
"Everything alright?" Megumi asks, instinctively leaning in. "Troubles at work?"
Itadori stares at the glowing display in heavy silence."No, not work," Itadori says, his voice dropping an octave. "It's Yuta."
Megumi freezes, the cigarette trembling slightly between his fingers.
"Yuta?" he asks, trying to lace the name with indifference.
"My boyfriend."
or: bartender Yuuji has sick tattoos, and a socially-clueless Megumi finds himself in a god-forsaken bar while trying to keep an eye on a heartbroken Gojo, and falls in love miserably.

Summary
The building door slams shut with a heavy groan, and Megumi is left alone with the Tokyo night.
His vision swims with angry, stinging tears. He isn't even surprised when the doors of a sedan parked in front of the building swing open and Gojo and Geto scramble out. They knew where to find him. Of course they did.
"Megumi!" Satoru closes the distance in three long strides, grabbing him by the shoulders. "Why are you— Oh God, you're shaking."
Megumi looks up at them. He opens his mouth, trying to speak, but his throat seizes with a spasm. The words are there—a hurricane of them—but they won't come out.
"He… Yuuji…" Megumi's breath hitches. The sound that escapes comes out like the rasp of a wounded animal. "He said…"
And Megumi breaks down, convulsive sobs wracking his body until his stomach aches.
or: still the Speakeasy and it's people, still love and alcohol, but also: Megumi's world ending, the past clawing its way out of the dark, and a destiny that finally catches up to them all.
