Work Text:
Megumi had been reading for what felt like hours now, Yuuji laying next to him - or rather on him as his head was on his stomach and their legs were entangled - scrolling mindlessly on his phone. Both of them tucked under the cover as if to protect themselves from the cold of the foggy Sunday morning.
Megumi glanced from his book to the window, from which rays of sunlight lit the room in the most gentle way, piercing their way through the fog and revealing dust particles floating in the air of his room. He rubbed his eyes lazily and set his book down, careful not to lose his page.
His back was starting to hurt from being in the same position for too long so he tried to move a little, not without earning a grunt from Yuuji, still focused on whatever his screen was showing. Megumi looked down at the messy pink hair resting on his stomach, he ran his fingers through it and opened his mouth.
"Hey" Yuuji already setting his phone down and turning so his head was facing Megumi, his eyes softly landing on him, full attention on him. "I’ve been thinking about it for a while now but, do you wanna help me with my t shot?"
Confusion washed over Yuuji’s face before he opened his mouth too.
"Uh? Isn’t Ieiri doing it for you?
"Yuuji, do you seriously think I’ve been going to her office every week for years just to get a shot? I eventually got to learn to do it myself."
"Yeah no that makes sense." His eyes were still on Megumi, though a bit unfocused, seemingly deep in thought about what he just said.
"I’m not going to make you do the shot yourself but I don’t know- I just feel like it’s something I want to share with you, if that makes sense?"
Yuuji couldn’t help the fond smile tugging on his lips. He climbed further up the bed and sat on Megumi’s hips, taking his head in his hands to kiss his forehead, letting him feel the lingering grin.
"I would love to."
"Great." Megumi kissed his lips.
"Now get back under the cover please, I’m freezing."
Yuuji laughed and let his body slump against Megumi’s. They cuddled for a bit more, in the warmth of the sheets, because it was still too early to be anywhere outside of a bed on a Sunday.
Megumi got out of the bed first, walking to his closet to change out of his pajamas to something equally comfortable but more practical to take his shot. He got into a pair of shorts and removed his top, trying to find one of his hoodies after Yuuji stole most of them. Said boy decided to get out of bed as well and joined Megumi, draping an arm around his middle and resting his head on top of his shoulder.
"When will you give me back my hoodies?"
"I thought it was common knowledge by now that your hoodies and my hoodies are our hoodies?" he let his hand drift across Megumi’s torso, tracing one of his top surgery scars with his thumb, caressing his skin with all the gentleness the world holds.
Yuuji loved them. He thought it was one of the coolest things about Megumi, always said they looked badass.
The taller boy hissed.
"Yuuji, cold. hands."
"Fuck, my bad." he removed his hand and placed a quick kiss on the other boy’s shoulder before slipping out of his own hoodie and giving it to him. "Here take this one, I’ll go back to my room to get another and brush my teeth."
By the time he was at the door, Megumi had processed the information and raised his voice.
"So they are in your room!" he said, throwing his other top at the boy’s face, the latter easily dodging it. Yuuji flashed him a grin and raised his shoulders, feigning innocence before darting towards his own room.
By the time he came back, Megumi had already washed his face, brushed his teeth and laid out all the necessary things for his shot.
He greeted Yuuji with a ‘I hope you’re not scared of needles' answered by a 'I’m not the one getting the shot so I’ll be fine.'
Megumi sat on his bed, followed by Yuuji sitting down on the floor in front of him - looking up at him with wonder - and he swore he could kiss him right this moment, but he had other things to do first.
"I’m all ears, or well maybe eyes too, show me pretty boy." And Megumi flicked his forehead.
"Shut up. Okay so, first…" he trailed off as he reached for the vial and the needle. "I just sanitize these and get the shot ready."
Yuuji nodded as Megumi poked the needle in the vial, flipping it upside down so he could get the liquid in it.
"How long have you been doing this?" The pink haired boy asked, so genuinely interested in everything Megumi would tell or show him right now, or any other time for that matter.
"Almost three years now." He said as he flicked the syringe to make sure no air was left in it, inspecting it closely.
"Weren’t you scared the first time you did it?"
"To be honest? Scared shitless for at least the first five times, but you just get used to it I guess."
Yuuji let out a small laugh. And Megumi rolled his shorts higher on his right thigh.
"Then I just sanitize my thigh, switch the needle and do the shot."
Doing everything he just announced, a pair of eyes watching closely, he poked the outside of his thigh and the other boy winced as if he was the one feeling it. He withdrew the needle and set it aside, looking back down at his boyfriend.
"All done."
Yuuji looked deep into his eyes before leaning forward and planting a kiss on his knee, dropping his head on Megumi’s left thigh.
"You’re so cool."
A small smile stretched Megumi’s mouth and he let his hand drop to Yuuji’s hair once again, his fingertips grazing his undercut.
It was so dumb but he felt so loved right now, how could a lazy Sunday morning make him feel this good? He let out a small 'thank you', grateful for a lot more than the simple compliment Yuuji had offered. The other boy hummed, silent understanding between the two of them that Megumi was thanking him for so much more.
They stayed like that for a while, Megumi’s hand in Yuuji’s hair, rubbing gently. Yuuji’s hand on Megumi’s thigh, tracing patterns.
Until one of them spoke up.
"Yuuji, my leg is going numb."
And it’s all it took for the boy to raise to his feet, extending a hand to the other with a grin on his face that would always warm Megumi's heart.
"Come on, let’s make lunch."
