summary: 2 miscommunications result in relationship… college au and not proof read
pairing: megumi x fem!reader
main masterlist
megumi was always the type to never talk about his personal life. when the professor paired him with you for a class project, he didnt think anything off it. however, when he said “were partners” to you, he wouldnt have expected this.
you misunderstood.
thats not all.
when megumi said “partners” you thought he had meant something more, something romantic. it didnt help that he had been acting more relaxed around you, so you had thought you just missed the memo. mainly because megumi would never talk to you about his feeling. you started being more affectionate by calling him “baby” or “babe” in conversation, lesning on him more in study sessions, you remember his coffee order—not that its hard to forget. a black coffee.
megumi was confused but didnt want to make it awkward, so he kept his thoughts to himself. after all, you were just being friendly, right?
you and nobara went to the cafe near campus after classes one day, talking about everything. until you said, “me and megs are dating you know,”
nobara didnt miss a beat. just smiled and nodded, taking a sip of her overpriced latte. “oh, nice. didnt know you two were official now.”
“yeah, we didnt want to make a big deal out of it.” you replied. in reality, you didnt know, and megumi doesnt make a big deal out of anything.
nobara, remembering all the times you were lovey dovey with megumi in front of her, didnt question you at all, she was happy to accept it. you and megumi were dating.
later that week, nobara couldnt resist but bringing it up to megumi. she strolled up to his usual table in the student lounge, where he was on his phone like always.
“so, wanna go on a double date now?”
megumi looked up, confused. “i dont want to third wheel with you and maki.”
“you wouldnt be third wheeling anymore though, right?”
“wait—what?”
“yeah, yn already told me, you dont have to hide it.”
“what did she say?” megumi asked.
“that… you two are dating? she said you had been dating for a while?”
“no, thats not-“ he was cut off by nobara.
“listen. just say you dont wanna go, you dont have to hide your relationship from me yaknow? like i said, yn told me. talk to yn about if you dont feel comfortable about going, if not… then be at *random sushi place* by 8!”
nobara walks off, not being interested into talking with megumi anymore.
megumi didn’t even know how to process it all. he had no idea how to clear up the misunderstanding, and now nobara was convinced that you two were dating. he just hoped you weren’t too serious about it.
megumi just stared at the spot where nobara had stood, feeling a heavy sigh leave his chest. since nobara seemed so confident about it all, maybe they were and he just missed the signs?
megumi got ready for the double date group hang out.
it was 7:00 pm. nobara had insisted over text that he dress “decently” for this, so now he was standing here, debating whether his usual black hoodie was too casual.
he didn’t even know why he was putting so much thought into this. it was just nobara, maki, and—
his eyes flicked to his phone. you had texted him earlier, something short and sweet—although anything from you is sweet.
are you gonna come megs???
it shouldnt have made his stomach flip, but it did.
he sighed, ruffling his hair.
yea sure
“this is just a normal hangout,” “just dinner.” he thought to himself.
still, he switched the hoodie for a plain black sweater, something a little neater.
when megumi arrived at the restaurant, nobara and maki were already seated. you were beside nobara, chatting happily, completely at ease.
when you spotted him, your eyes lit up.
“megu! you made it” you said, scooting over slightly, making space for him next to you.
megumi hesitated before sitting down. something about the way you said his name made his face warm, its obviously just the temperature in the restaurant though.
(its not.)
nobara smiled. “look at him, actually on time.”
“barely,” maki added, sipping her sake.
megumi rolled his eyes but didnt argue.
he glanced at you, noting how close you were sitting. maybe it was just his imagination, but you seemed comfortable. very comfortable.
“so,” nobara started, resting her chin on her hand, “hows dating life treating you two?”
“its great!” you said before megumi could speak, smiling at them before turning to megumi, eyes full of warmth. “right, megs?”
megumi mumbled an agreement before trying to hide his red face in his hand.
nobara nodded approvingly. “figured. you guys always looked like a couple anyway.”
maki smirked. “yeah, megumis the quiet type, but we all knew you would end up together.”
he looked between them, waiting for some sign that this was a joke, but they were all so casual about it.
they actually think you two were dating.
he was going to ask you “are we actually dating?”
but then you reached for his hand under the table, lacing your fingers through his without hesitation.
his heart nearly stopped.
“hes just shy,” you said, squeezing his hand gently.
nobara grinned. “yeah, yeah. hes lucky youre patient.”
everyones entree arrived swiftly after that.
you squeezed his hand again, looking up at him like he was the best thing in the world, something in him settled.
yeah. you were his partner. you had been all along.
he just hadnt noticed.
i wrote most of this in class then wrote the other half like 9 hours later… so it might not make any sense lolol

in all honestly, yn was afraid of fushiguro. the first time she saw him was when she was hiding from student council, she turned the corner to find him on a pile of bodies. not the most welcoming sight.
their relationship remained like that. yn was afraid of fushiguro, fushiguro probably didnt know that she existed. sure he saw her in the hallways from time to time. but those prolonged gazes glances didnt compare to the amount of times yn nearly tripped trying to silently run away.
when she entered high school she assumed that fushiguro would stop, and for the most part, he did. sure he was aggravated by a couple of students every now and then, but they had it coming honestly.
fushiguro attended every class and was on every a honor roll. he got nearly every girls attention, yn was not an exception. he was the standard of beauty, who could blame her.
although, out of all the girls in the school, yn was just average. if in fushiguros standards, probably below average. so she swallowed her feelings, if someone were to ask her who she liked. “no one.” she would say avoiding their gaze.
valentines was coming up soon, yn wonders if she would get any chocolates. hopefully romantic chocolates. maybe a boy in her class. maybe megumi fushiguro
eventually valentines rolls around and not a single chocolate left in her desk. thats fine, she wasnt betting on getting any anyways.
while eating lunch she heard girls talking about fushiguro possibly having chocolates.
‘wow. what a lucky girl.’ she thinks to herself.
nearly every girl (and boy) in the school was trying to figure out who it was for. he refused to say for his own reasons.
the last bell rings and school is dismissed for the day. yn walks home in the cold weather wishing she would’ve worn stockings for brought another jacket.
she hears speed walking behind her but doesnt bother to look back, she knows that whoevers behind her definitely isnt trying to interact with her.
yn feels a tap on her shoulder and shivers run down her back, their hands were cold. she turns around to find fushiguro, holding a small bag of chocolates.
“i got these for you for helping me.”
“help you with what?”
he shoves the bag further in your hands, looking to the side blushing.
“take them.”
fushiguro sprints off without looking back. “hey wait what was that for!” yn shouts.
after that she started noticing fushiguros lingering stares glares, did she do something wrong?
she assumed that fushiguro messed up and gave it to the erong person, or it was just gratitude chocolate. although, yn has barely spoken to fushiguro let alone done him a favor. she wonders who he really wanted to give them to. maybe that popular girl in his class. what was her name again?
a couple weeks after that chocolate incident, in p.e she overheard fushiguro talking with his only friend. “do you really think shes not getting my hints?”
“i wouldnt get them either.” (ita)
“i thought they were obvious” (fushi)
you quietly walk faster on the track. pretending you cant see fushiguro blushing and that other kid pointing with his mouth covered.
after abiut 1 minute you hear someone sprinting behind you. you think nothing of the footsteps until they start slowing down once they get within a couple feet across from you.
fushiguro looks to the his right, where youre standing. you divert you eyes. he takes inching closer to you.
“do you get it” (fushi)
you look at him in confusion. “hm?”
“get it?” (fushi)
“get what?”
…
“do you like me?” (fushi)
…
a/n: pls dont hate me because im bad at writing im sorryyy sorry 😞

"Itadori! Have you seen Fushiguro around? I've been looking for him," you say worriedly, silently grabbing onto Itadori's arm and lightly tugging him closer to you, your lips ghosting over his ear so that he could hear you clearly over the too-loud music.
The pink-haired male turns to you, eyes narrowing before his gaze quickly flicks over the entirety of the room – a silent search for the unaccounted for Fushiguro. He shakes his head, his eyes returning to you, irises softening at the worried look that passes over your face.
"I haven't. But the last I saw of him, he was at the bar getting himself and Kugisaki something to drink," Itadori admits, frowning as you release his arm, turning your body halfway so that you can get a better look at the bar.
You smile at him in thanks before weaving your way through the crowd, muttering out "excuse me's" and "pardon me's" as you walk to the bar, leaning against it and peering around in search of Fushiguro, hoping that maybe you had just overlooked him by accident.
But the bar is occupied by random people that you don't know, none of them are Fushiguro. An exasperated sigh leaves your parted lips as you turn from the bar, leaning your back against it and scanning the dance floor.
In the center is Kugisaki, hand-in-hand with Maki and dancing to the upbeat music played by the DJ, who occasionally yells into his microphone to keep the club in full swing. Your lips turn upward in a smile as you continue to allow your gaze to wander about the club.
Finally, you spot that familiar tuft of jet-black hair halfway across the club, haphazardly holding onto a half-empty glass and leaning against one of the booths – one occupied by Yuuta and Inumaki. You find yourself smiling, making your way through the crowd and approaching the booth.
"Fushiguro!" You lift a hand to wave as you move closer to the booth, not failing to notice the gentle pink hue that coats Fushiguro's cheeks – it makes you wonder just how much he had to drink. You hadn't expected him to drink so much, especially considering that he had warned both Itadori and Kugisaki to "take it easy" before any of the four of you had stepped into the club.
He turns to you, stumbling on his feet and placing down the glass that he had been holding, not caring about the high-pitched clink that it makes from how roughly he had set it down. "(Y/N)?"
You giggle lightly, catching him as he walks over to you, hands on his arms to steady him. His eyes flicker up to meet your own, narrowing in order to decipher just who you were before his lips purse. You lift your hand, brushing away a few strands of hair that had fallen over his forehead.
"Yeah, it's me. Why don't we get you some water?" you offer, steering Fushiguro to sit across from Inumaki, then looking around for a waiter who could give you the water that Fushiguro definitely needs.
The raven-haired man shakes his head, fingers clasping around your wrist and tugging you clumsily to the dance floor. You follow, allowing yourself to be dragged around by Fushiguro, though you're definitely confused by his spike in boldness.
"C'mon," Fushiguro mumbles, his voice completely drowned out by the booming music playing over the club's many speakers. Your eyes narrow in confusion as Fushiguro stops just at the edge of the dance floor – located near the back of the club itself.
You tilt your head curiously at Fushiguro, his hands now settled on your hips, fingers lightly squeezing you. Your cheeks flush, shocked at the sudden contact — Fushiguro had never been this direct with anyone let alone you for that matter.
“Megumi?” you inquire, glancing down at the pale hands that hold onto your waist as if you would vanish into thin air should his grip loosen. “Are you okay?”
“M’fine,” he slurs, swallowing the growing lump in his throat as his head drops to the junction between your collarbone and shoulder. “Jus’ wanna be near you.”
You flush from head to toe, feeling your entire body light aflame as Fushiguro pulls you impossibly closer, his grip only tightening around you. You can hear your heart thumping in your ears, pulsating in a way that is borderline uncomfortable.
“Here, let’s go outside,” you say quietly, linking your fingers with Fushiguro’s and leading him to the back entrance of the bar. You push the door open, sighing thankfully as the cold night air licks at your skin like an excited dog — contrasting greatly with the stuffiness inside the bar itself.
Slowly, you lower Fushiguro to sit on one of the small wooden chairs that the bouncer must’ve left outside. You sit down cross-legged on the chair beside Fushiguro, bravely leaning your head against his leg as he remains quiet, simply staring out at the busy road that the back of the bar faces.
“I love you y’know,” Fushiguro says bluntly, not reacting even as you swivel to face him, a look of shock passing over your face at his blatant confession. You stare silently at him, wanting to see if he would continue without you prompting conversation — and continue he does.
“Jus’ everything about you; your smile, your eyes, your demeanor, everything,” Fushiguro finally turns to look at you, staring silently into your awestruck eyes. Your lips tremble, struggling to decide whether they should turn upward in a smile or downward into a frown (likely because you thought that Fushiguro was bullshitting you).
“And I want you to be mine (Y/N). And I want to … to be yours,” Fushiguro says, reaching a hand over and lacing his fingers with your own, squeezing. “Please.”
Chuckling gently, you return the affectionate squeeze of his fingers, leaning up and pressing a fleeting kiss to Fushiguro’s cheek. He stills, watching as you rest back on your legs, keeping your gaze locked with his own.
“Let’s sleep on it, then we’ll talk, yeah?”
Fushiguro nods, closing his eyes and smiling at the lingering warmth that your lips left behind. “Yeah … okay.”
