Megumi was having a bad day.
Well, not really a bad day, but not really a good day either. It was one of those days where the sky was gray and everything was cold and one just felt this unshakeable feeling of dread. Which apparently, Yuji noticed immediately.
“You okay, Fushi?” The teen questioned softly as he approached the couch, sitting next to the dark haired, more gloomy looking teen.
“It’s just one of those days, I guess. Y’know, where everything feels just a little bit off, and like something isn’t entirely right. I don’t know what it is or even how to describe it but I just feel sort of… lost? Does that make sense?”
Yuji tilted his head to the side, humming lowly as he reached over to pet Megumi’s hair a little.
“Well, yeah, in a way it does make sense. I know what you mean by days like these, that just feel sort of eh, but maybe there’s something we can do to distract you? Got any plans for today?”
Megumi leaned into the touch, appreciating the soft and gentle understanding that seemed to radiate from the other omega at any given moment whenever they were together, their scents mingling together and creating a soft, woody yet fruity aroma that filled the air of their apartment.
“Well, I was planning on finally reading more of that book I picked up last time at the bookstore, you know? But other than that, I don’t really know what to do with myself today.”
Yuji seemed to consider it for a little bit before lighting up with an idea.
“How about we nest together? It’s been a while since we’ve done it and it would allow us to just lay together for a bit. And I can groom you while you read, if you want?”
That… actually wasn’t a bad idea. Megumi found the first while after having presented as an omega rather difficult but Yuji being an early bloomer had helped him along the way to learn how to handle his own instincts.
“i’d like that, actually.” The dark haired omega spoke, a slight smile tugging at his lips when Itadori immediately jumped up and dragged him up off of the couch.
“I’ll gather the pillows and blankets, you grab the snacks and your book. We can set up in my room and use the projector to play something in the background!”
Yuji had always been the more energetic between the two of them, behaving much more like a beta rather than an omega. but Megumi didn’t mind, he liked having someone who both understood his struggles but was also strong enough to ground him wheen they were both being affected by their natural instincts. They set up in the pink haired teen’s room, for the sake of simply being more comfortable on the bigger bed. They built the bed together, deciding which pillows to put where or which of the many soft blankets would go where.
In the end, they had a spacious, albeit slightly messy, nest that was both spacious and warm, making both omegas purr happily as they laid down and got comfortable. Megumi had made them some lemon tea with ginger and grabbed a small selection of their best snacks from the pantry, both being set up on the bedside table along with his book.
Breathing a soft sigh, Yuji wrapped his arms around Megumi’s middle, spooning the slightly smaller man as he nuzzled into his hair.
“Are you okay with us scenting each other?” He asked softly, voice low as not to startle Megumi or disrupt their moment.
“I think so, yeah.” Megumi agreed, allowing Itadori to tilt his head to the side so their scentglands could be rubbed together.
“Let me know if that changes.”
And then both began to release calming pheromones into the air, letting their mingling scent spread through the air as the sound of purring began to rumble in both their chests. It was nice, laying together and just basking in each other’s company. Fushiguro let himself melt into the embrace, let himself enjoy the feeling of Yuji’s tongue gently lapping across his hairline. It wasn’t often that they got to spend time together like this, which always made it feel quite enjoyable. The rumbling in his chest increased as time went on, green eyes slipping closed as Yuji held him securely.
Eventually, Megumi did reach for his book and began reading, the gentle grooming only picking up more from there. Only when Itadori stopped for a longer period of time did he stop reading and glance over his shoulder, only to see golden amber eyes flicking over the page of the book.
“Do you want me to read it out loud?” Megumi suddenly offered with a soft smile, chuckling a bit when Yuji flustered at being caught.
“Only if you don’t mind doing so?” The older omega asked sheepishly to which Megumi only gave a small laugh. Of course he didn’t mind, and he told Yuji as much.
“Alright then, I’ll start from the first chapter, so you don’t get lost about who these characters are.” Megumi flicked back to the very first page, clearing his throat as Yuji went back to gently grooming his hair.
“There was a man by the name of Sekyr. He was a feared and ruthless warrior, merciless in the way he crossed the lands, always in search of more power, more to claim as his own. But there was one man he could never proclaim for himself. That man was…”
