Chapter Text
It was another late night stream for Yuji. Once again he found himself running over his usual stream time, far too engrossed in his current game to simply stop for the night. It wasn’t something he did often now he had Megumi to shut him down before things got too out of hand but on the odd occasion he’d let it slide.
Tonight was one of those nights.
It couldn’t be helped, not when the game in question belonged to that of a franchise which had disappeared so many years ago! Although it was less of a disappearance and more the franchise being at a still; with nothing new to add to the series it felt unlikely that a new game would release. But someone clearly answered his prayers as a remake of the second game had been announced and after months of assuming it would never release here it was.
To say he was thrilled would be an understatement. Even his viewers could tell as he was practically radiating, leg bouncing as he rambled on excitedly about his theories; it was as if this was the happiest day of his life! (But that title had gone to the day he confessed to Megumi so it couldn’t be.)
It was one of those games that required a lot of reading which meant that Yuji got to voice all of the character’s lines. It may seem annoying to some and exhausting to others, and although it could get rather tiring and sometimes painful it was hilarious coming up with befitting voices for the characters and seeing his chats reaction to some of the downright disrespectful impressions he came up with made it all worth it.
hitmeuppp: bro this is freakin hilarious LOLLL THE VOICES U GIVE ARE SO SILLY
ultyurienjoyer: IKRR IM CRYINGGG
Seaurchin: his voice must hurt omds LOL
hiranon1fan: IKR !!!
needstosleep: OMGGG ITS HOPE BOY !!
dabisfaveslut: HOPE BOY LMAOO??? HE HAS A NAME!!
inthethickofitgirl: ur username???
dabisfaveslut: i speak truth
theaiboy: rite…
Yuji couldn’t help but burst out laughing at his chat which ultimately led to a rather embarrassing coughing fit; a consequence of all the varying voices he was doing. Covering his mouth with a hand he reached over his desk for his bottled water and took a very large swig of it, sighing in relief as he did so. It immediately made his voice feel a lot less sore.
“Oh my gosh that was so embarrassing!” he whines, laughing once again to himself as he throws his head back. “I can't help but do the voices guys, it makes the serious scenes so much funnier!” he exclaims, wiping a stray tear from his eyes as he looks back over at his chat who seemed to be poking fun at his coughing fit.
“Guys stop laughing!” he cries out, a childish pout on his face. “If you laugh I’ll get insecure and stop doing the funny voices!” he jokes, crossing his arms over his chest in retaliation.
thukuna: make him insecure he deserves it.
FashionFann: not this guy
redhawk: isn’t that yuji’s brother??? LMAOO
thukuna: yh and i think he should khs
jsanapothecary: BRO WHAT??? IM CRYING?
fundanshiii: THATS SO FOUL IM????
FashionFann: i think u should start showing up to work more often
thukuna: who is this again??
FashionFann: omds
Ilikesoba: LOLLL
Yuji scowled at comments made by his brother, rolling his eyes in irritation. “Dude, leave me alone!” he complains, leaning back in his chair, yawning. “Don’t you have better things to do than harass me?” he asks, raising an eyebrow. It was no surprise that his brother was back in his chat making fun of him, it was bound to happen again sooner or later but this late into the evening was unusual.
thukuna: nah not rlly
wants2getcracked: oh so he’s js admitting that he’s a chud
Sparkledash: at least he’s aware !!!!
FashionFann: actually embarrassing dude
thukuna: like ur face
FashionFann: remind me who’s getting modelling gigs again???
deeznuts: CLOCKEEED !!!!
yearning4ever: LOLL U TELL THAT BUM GIRLLL
thukuna: fuck off. Anyway i could say the same for u yuji
thukuna: don’t u have a boyfriend to attend to and be all gross with??
bringbackL: OOOOO !!!
thukuna: or r u ignoring him in favour of ur dumb game lol??
Yuji was absolutely flabbergasted at the audacity his brother had saying things like that in his chat! If someone told him he could will his brother out of existence he would take it without hesitation. It would be doing the world, removing a creature like him from society; stooping so low as to bring his boyfriend into the argument!
“Leave Megumi out of this!” Yuji argues back, wishing more than anything to punch his brother in the face. But he couldn't; he had to try and remain as chalant as possible, something he was evidently failing at. “I’m not ignoring my boyfriend like how you ignore the dishes piling up in your kitchen, asshole!”
Seriously, Sukuna's kitchen was gross. In all honesty though he couldn’t speak because Megumi was the one who usually cleaned the dishes in their apartment but his point still stood. At least someone was washing the dishes unlike his brother.
As if on que, as if the world was trying to humiliate him even more than it had already done today the door to his room cracks open and the head of none over than Megumi peaks through; a quizzical expression on his face as he watches with wonder as his boyfriend all but yells at his monitor.
“Yuji what’s going on?” he asks, stepping into the room and walking over to where he was sitting, now in full view of the monitor. “You’re being loud, again,” he scolds, an unimpressed look on his face.
Yuji whines quietly, silently cursing his brother for being the cause of almost all of his suffering. Now that embarrassment was on direct display to him and thousands of others across the world. There was no doubt in his mind that someone would clip this and post it on social media for further humiliation points.
This is but one the many consequences of having a social media presence, huh?
“I’m so sorry, Megumi.” he apologises sincerely, swivelling around in his chair to properly face his boyfriend. “I got worked up over something Sukuna was saying–you know how he is?” he blinks up at him, a sheepish look on his face.
Boyfriend. It still made him feel all giddy and lightheaded just thinking about calling the other male something so intimate. Megumi was his boyfriend, actually his boyfriend. It wasn’t one of his stupid delusions; it was real, it was tangible and his boyfriend was standing right in front of him.
Admittedly he looked rather annoyed right now but that was besides the point. (In his opinion the scowl on his face was rather adorable.)
Megumi shakes his head. “It’s always Sukuna, huh?” he responds, a small, amused smile on his face. “I swear, doesn’t he have better things to do?” he asks, cocking his head to the side.
Yuji nods enthusiastically. “That’s what I’m saying!” he exclaims, throwing his hands into the air. “I seriously don’t get his deal,” he pouts, eyebrows furrowing. At least his boyfriend could see reason in his disdain for his brother, after all his opinion was the most important.
Megumi chuckles quietly. “Anyway, I was wondering when you were going to stop streaming,” he mutters, changing the topic. All of a sudden he looked rather bashful, averting eye contact as he stared at the carpet beneath him.
“Huh?” Yuji responds cluelessly. “I was thinking of streaming for another twenty-minutes, why?” he asks quizzically, unable to get a read on his boyfriend’s face which he was currently trying to hide with his hands. “Is something wrong?”
Megumi groans, mumbling something under his breath before looking back up at him. He was blushing, that was clear enough, ears flushing red in a way he couldn’t hide no matter how desperately he tried to avert attention from them. If that wasn’t enough the pink flush on his cheeks were only deepening by the second, making him look extremely pretty.
God, Yuji loved his boyfriend.
“Megumi?” he pokes, unable to stop himself from teasing the other.
“I was wondering if we could spend some time together after you were finished with your stream,” Megumi half-whispers, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Oh my gosh..” Yuji breaths out. It was he who was blushing now, a hand coming to cover his face and growing flush. It was impossible not to, not when his partner had such a beautiful blush on his face; bashful as he swallowed the lump in his throat.
“What?” Megumi asks, a frown on his face.
“I’ll stop streaming right away!” Yuji exclaims suddenly, sounding perhaps a little bit too desperate. But hey, he never claimed to be normal about his significant other. In fact, he’s rather the opposite of normal when it comes to the man standing in front of him. “Of course I wanna spend time with you, Megumi!”
Shit, was he turning into Gojo?
Megumi’s eyes widen in surprise, as if he didn’t expect the other to agree so quickly, let alone offer to stop streaming immediately. “Ah, you don’t need to stop now–” he tries to argue but is cut off before he can finish.
“No!” Yuji interrupts, and the look on his face makes it clear he’s not going to listen to any sort of disagreement. Before he can do so anyway, he’s already turning back to his monitor to address his chat.
It may be silly. It may make him look hopelessly in love with the man standing starstruck behind him. But that’s because he absolutely was; he was smitten, head over heels and would give up everything without a second thought for his boyfriend. If he had to, he'd go to extreme lengths to save him, would chase him for days, an iron grip on his hand, steady and determined to not let go.
It was crazy just how much Megumi had changed his life.
“As you’ve probably heard I'll be cutting the stream short here!” he explains to his chat, a small, apologetic smile on his face. In truth he did feel a little bad for leaving his viewers so suddenly but in all fairness he had already been streaming overtime tonight and who could blame him when the alternate option was spending time with his boyfriend.
thukuna: omfg gross get a fucking room
Sobaalvr: ooh u a good boy LOLLL

sixeyes: bro might be worse than me..
FashionFann: Gojo get outta here.
thukuna: ew
sixeyes: fuck i do??
“Absolutely.” Yuji responds seriously to his viewers calling him a ‘good boy’ or whatever teasing comments they were throwing his way. It was pointless denying it really, he was attached to his boyfriend by the hip and that was fact; willing to absolutely anything in order to make him happy. “You thought I was going to rebel?” he asks seriously.
“Oh my god, Yuji,” Megumi groans, dragging a hand down his face. “Stop, please,” he pleads.
“No, no, they don’t seem to understand how serious I am about you!” he complains, shaking his head in disappointment. It seems he had to make it explicitly clear to his viewers just how in love he was with his boyfriend, just how cheesy he could get when he was smitten.
“Yuji.”
“Did you guys think I wouldn’t listen to him?” he asks, tutting quietly. “Megumi is basically royalty, i’ll do anything he asks,” he proclaims proudly, a pleased grin on his face as if he doesn’t sound like a lovestruck highschooler.
thukuna: fucking hell GET A ROOM

FashionFann: i fear he’s already gone
steamedbunns: o7
sunnytouyaa: CRYINNGG rip yuji
Yuji can’t stop himself from laughing. It was true, he was very much lost to the curse of love. Although if this curse meant being able to spend every waking hour with his beautiful boyfriend he doesn’t think he minds being cursed one bit.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m ending the stream now,” he chuckles, practically itching to spend time with Megumi. If he had to wait one more second he’s sure he’ll go insane and so without giving a proper goodbye he ends the stream and leans back in his chair, staring up at his boyfriend.
“I hate you,” Megumi groans but there’s no malice behind his words. There never is.
“Sure you do!” Yuji giggles, staring directly into his lover's eyes. So pretty.
“Let’s just go,” Megumi sighs, turning around to walk out of his room.
“Okay!” Yuji cheers, practically hopping out of his chair as he follows his boyfriend out of his bedroom and into their living room. Perhaps he was a bit like a dog on a leash, following his lover around helplessly, desperately.
But that’s okay with him. In fact, he’ll wear that title proudly if it shows just how much he loves his boyfriend.
