Work Text:
On a particularly hard day, Megumi comes home exhausted due to a very heavy practice day. He’s pretty used to coming home with Sukuna still streaming, there’s only 1 or 2 hours left until he finishes his stream anyways. He sits on the couch and feeds his dogs. This is usually enough for him to feel better already but this time it isn’t. He wants Sukuna with him, he wants him by his side and he wants him to cuddle him and tell him everything is going to be alright. He hates that there are days where he becomes this clingy but Sukuna always knows what to say to him, what to do with him, and it always soothes him.
So he did what he never thought he would ever do. He knocks at Sukuna’s door while he’s streaming. His door isn’t really visible on the screen since it’s at Sukuna’s side, not behind him so when Megumi peeked in, nobody could really see him.
“Fuck this game! I already died three fucking times! This is an impossible level, whoever the fuck did made this level is a fucking psycopath!” Sukuna was raging at his computer screen with a controller in his hand, playing a game Megumi thinks looks like super mario.
“Fuck you guys as well, I know this is the 10th time I did this level and I know this is the 10th time I died so fu-” Sukuna suddenly stopped from his rage when he heard Megumi chuckle a bit and saw him standing by his doorway.
“Hey baby…” Sukuna suddenly said in the softest voice ever. Megumi chuckled again at the sudden change in contrast but the smile immediately left his lips when he realized that Sukuna’s going to be asking why he suddenly showed up in his streaming room, something he never did. Megumi knows that Sukuna knows.
“Is everything alright?” Sukuna asked, noticing right away that something happened with Megumi. When Megumi didn’t answer and started fiddling with his hands, he immediately put his controller down and stood up, walking towards Megumi. He wasn’t really worried about the stream since his door is in a blindspot of the screen, and his viewers hearing their voices wasn’t really new.
He immediately hugged him and Megumi embraced Sukuna tight, he embraced him like he was his lifeline, which he actually is. So when he felt the familiar warmth that his boyfriend was giving him, he finally succumbed to his tears. Tears he has been holding for eight hours already. Tears that his boyfriend only had the privilege to witness.
Sukuna knew his chat was probably going wild, he took a small peak and saw that his back was slightly visible and they could see Megumi’s hands embracing him, thankfully, they weren't seeing Megumi’s face, but he ought to end the live right away so that he can comfort his boyfriend.
“Baby, let me just end the stream okay? Is that okay?” Sukuna asked as he rubbed his boyfriend’s back and caressed his head while making sure he was hiding his face. “Shh, don’t cry, it's going to be alright. I’m here, I’ll listen, okay?” Sukuna said as he kissed Megumi’s head tenderly. “Wait a second, I’m just going to end my stream alright? I’ll be with you right away.” He added in his softest voice.
Megumi sniffled and nodded, removing his hands from the embrace and lifting his head away from where it was buried in Sukuna’s shoulder. As he removed his head Sukuna made sure no one saw his face and waited for him to step back a little by the door so that he wasn't visible.
Sukuna went back to his stream and faced the camera again. He wasn’t in his streaming persona anymore and his chat was running like water in a faucet. “Sorry guys, I have to end this stream right away! See you guys tomorrow, I’ll be with you here again, same time! Goodbye!” Sukuna said and closed the stream. He clicked his computer shut to make sure that the stream had ended and went out of the room.
Megumi was sitting on the floor of their apartment and the dogs were laying beside him, abandoning their usually playful state, probably feeling that their owner was sad. Megumi was sniffling as he petted the head of the dogs and Sukuna wasted no time walking towards him. Megumi heard Sukuna walking towards him and immediately stood up and hugged Sukuna again.
“Hey… do you want to talk about it?” Sukuna asked softly. There was a long pause. Sukuna was already feeling that Megumi didn’t want to talk about it and was just going to drop it but then Megumi started opening up.
“I fell 8 times.” Megumi said. “8 times can you believe that.” He added while sniffling. He let go of Sukuna and sat on the floor again. He shifted his position and started hugging his legs to his chest, rubbing his knees as a way to comfort himself.
Sukuna walked behind him and started enveloping Megumi in a hug. Megumi rested his head on Sukuna’s shoulder and allowed himself to drown in his lover’s embrace and just enjoyed his warmth. Sukuna knew that when comforting Megumi no words needed to be spoken, you just have to be there for him and show him that you’re always there no matter what.
“I’m sorry, I know it’s stupid bu-” Megumi said but Sukuna immediately cut him.
“No. It’s not stupid. That’s frustrating and I understand so you’re allowed to be frustrated and cry and seek comfort. I’ll always be here for that no matter what, no matter how stupid you think it is.” Sukuna said softly and buried his face in Megumi’s hair.
Megumi felt tears stinging in his eyes again because how could he even manage to have this. All his life it was always skating and nothing else. His parents never saw him as a kid, they just saw him as someone who would fulfil their frustration in life when they didn’t get to be a skater. The people around him are all related to skating and nothing else. Then suddenly Sukuna, a man from a completely different world, entered his bubble and just easily burst it in a span of three months. Thinking about it made him cry again and he just started shaking.
“Hey, baby, it’s okay.” Sukuna said softly. He let go of him and is trying to get a hold of Megumi’s face so he can wipe his tears. Megumi felt a bit shy and started covering his face with his hands. Sukuna stood up and kneeled in front of Megumi and started kissing his head. “It’s okay, I love you, okay?” He said, which made Megumi cry even harder.
“I’m sorry, I- you’re- why are you like this…” Megumi whispered and suddenly chuckled. He wiped his tears and stared at Sukuna with a small smile on his face with tears still filling his eyes. He sniffled and smiled softly at his boyfriend who was just looking at him with concern.
“Look at you, being all bulky and scary-looking with all your tattoos and all the words coming out of your mouth is like straight out of a romance movie.” Megumi added, which made Sukuna laugh.
“Well, what can I say, you just bring out the worst in me.” Sukuna answered, which made Megumi genuinely laugh. Finally. Sukuna thought. But it was true, never in his life would he have thought that someone could make him soft like this. He was never this soft to his brother nor his family, his relationships before never lasted because he was too egotistical and narcissistic. He knows he can get whoever he wants but he just never felt like giving enough effort until he met Megumi.
Megumi who has plagued his mind ever since he set eyes on him 3 years ago. Megumi who he accidentally saw because he entered the wrong skating rink when he was picking up his brother, Yuuji, from his hockey practice. Megumi who was skating and gliding so beautifully on ice with his porcelain skin and green eyes. Megumi who instantly became his world the moment he said yes to being Sukuna’s boyfriend.
Of course he would do all this because losing Megumi would equal his life ending. You’re obsessed. He suddenly thought, and he couldn’t even deny it. Megumi made him a better person, he always cheers him on when there’s a code that just wouldn’t work when he’s developing a new game. When he encounters a particularly stressful stream, when life suddenly becomes overwhelming and he can’t control his rage, Megumi is always there with his soothing voice and calm personality to bring him back down to reality. In a span of 3 short years, it felt like they’ve known each other for so long that it seemed like they’ve known each other for the longest time.
“Maybe we’re soulmates.” Sukuna suddenly blurted out after his train of thought. Megumi stopped crying already and was drying his tears with his sweater. He suddenly raised a brow and started chuckling after what his boyfriend said.
“I never thought you were the kind of guy who still believed in those kinds of things.” He said while standing up and started walking in the kitchen. Sukuna followed suit and walked behind Megumi.
“I mean, why not right?” Sukuna said. Megumi was drinking water now, after drinking he set his glass at the sink and looked at Sukuna. He was a bit taller than him so he had to slightly look up. Megumi cupped his boyfriend’s cheek and pecked him on the lips.
“If we are soulmates, then I’m forever grateful that the stars aligned with us. Maybe in our previous life we’re also lovers, or maybe in another universe, another Sukuna and Megumi are also in love like this and just thinking about that makes me so happy because I want to be with you in every version of us.” Megumi proclaimed and this time, it’s Sukuna who felt tears prickling his eyes because damn, what a way to proclaim your love for someone.
Sukuna started kissing him and Megumi eagerly returned it. They spent the whole night in each other’s embrace. Megumi tracing every tattoo on Sukuna’s body and Sukuna counting every mole on Megumi’s. It was just them in their own world, and they know they would never trade anything for this.
When morning came, they did their usual routine. Sukuna cooks while Megumi is still embracing Sukuna’s pillow because surprisingly Sukuna is the morning person between the two of them, and as Megumi always says, he’s more of a brunch kind of person but when Sukuna brings him breakfast on bed, he’s suddenly in love with breakfast again.
Today, Sukuna’s cooking Megumi’s favourite breakfast, which are 3 slices of pancakes with maple syrup and butter plus a black coffee with vanilla syrup but no milk. Sukuna always eats scrambled eggs with steamed vegetables on the side and black coffee, no sugar and no milk.
When Sukuna returns to the bedroom, Megumi already has his eyes open but is just staring out the window. Sukuna thinks he’s beautiful like this, he’s currently shirtless with only his boxers on with hickeys littering his back up to his neck. He looks like art and Sukuna is the artist. He excitedly gets on their bed with their breakfast on a tray. Megumi sits up with a soft smile on his face and when Sukuna settles in, he gives him a small kiss with a soft thank you as he drinks his coffee.
“As always, it’s perfectly made.” Megumi said as he took a bite of his pancakes and Sukuna blushed slightly as he indulged in his own coffee. They started eating in comfortable silence when Sukuna’s phone started vibrating.
“It’s been like that ever since I woke up, is there a problem?” Megumi said with concern laced in his voice. Sukuna thought for a bit but he knew there was nothing urgent for him with his work so it’s probably related to his streamer life.
He checked his phone and his notifications are blowing up. Holy Shit. He immediately put down his fork and checked what had been happening.

Sukuna stopped reading through the trending tag and put his phone down. Megumi was looking at him while chewing on his pancakes. He’s so fucking adorable. He thought but he can’t really be distracted right now because he can’t believe people noticed with just his arm. Sukuna took Megumi’s left hand and caressed his bracelet.
“This gave it away…” Sukuna said. Megumi tilted his head. He doesn’t know what’s going on in his boyfriend’s head.
“What gave what away?” Megumi asked.
“Have you checked your phone?” Sukuna asked.
“Oh, I left it in the living room since last night we went straight to bed.” Megumi said while raising his eyebrows. Sukuna chuckled because how can he be this cute in the morning. Megumi chuckled back and put down his fork.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Megumi asked, worry now lacing his voice because his boyfriend’s face looked very concerned.
“Well, i think last night when you hugged me on stream, your hand showed up a bit and people was able to figure it out because of your bracelet and ring.” Sukuna said. Megumi felt his eyes widen as he looked at his boyfriend.
“What…” Megumi said. He took Sukuna’s phone and started scrolling through twitter. They were currently trending worldwide as #sukufishireveal and when he clicked the tag there’s numerous screen captures of his hand comparing his image when he’s figure skating. The bracelet a fan gave him really gave it away and the matching star ring he and Sukuna wears was shown as well.
Honestly, he’s not even mad, he’s a bit impressed that everyone took this long to piece things together because he’s pretty sure the ring was a dead giveaway. I guess it’s a pretty common ring, the bracelet just put the icing on the cake. Megumi concluded.
“Well, I’d be damned.” Megumi said after scrolling through the tweets. “At least they don’t seem to hate it, not that I care. But it’s cute seeing that we have a lot of support.” He added while looking at Sukuna.
Sukuna felt countless thoughts circling his mind. He felt worried, scared, and even a bit uncomfortable knowing that the next time he’ll be on stream, his fans will be asking about Megumi and he doesn’t know if that will sit well with him. Or when the next time Megumi publicly skates again, people would be able to recognize him even if he has a hoodie on.
Megumi was chewing on his lips because Sukuna was deep in thought. He doesn’t like this. He thought. He was worried that this might cause a rift in their relationship and he understands his worries but he promised himself that if this happens, because it’s inevitable, he doesn’t want anything to change.
He moved their tray to the floor since none of them was eating already and sat on Sukuna’s lap. He removed his phone from his hand and forced him to look up at him. Sukuna’s arms automatically wrapped around Megumi’s waist like a belt and sincerely looked at him.
“Hey.” Megumi said. “It’s gonna be fine. It’s still going to be us but just a little more public. But here in our space, it’ll be like nothing ever happened.” He added and kissed Sukuna on his forehead.
“Aren’t you even a little scared? They might get invasive.” Sukuna asked.
“I am a little scared but at least I’m not alone in this. I have you, you have me, and that’s what matters.” Megumi answered. Sukuna smiled at him and this time pecked him on the lips.
“All right.” He said with a smile. Megumi smiled and embraced him. Sukuna tightened his arms and gave a contented sigh. It’s moments like this where he wants time to freeze. It doesn’t matter if other people knew, because it’s them who are in this relationship, nothing else matters.
“Besides, you can now be with me backstage without that creepy hoodie on during my competitions.” Megumi said which made them burst into laughter.
“You’re right, I’m done pretending being your bodyguard.” Sukuna added.
“Please, you look like a stalker.” Megumi retorted back and they both laughed until giggles turn into kisses and those kisses turn into small proclamations of love.
I guess a bad day can still turn into a good one.
