"[y/n], pick him up." Gojo ordered.

"I thought you would. He is your student after all." You replied.

"I'm sure he'd like to see you. Plus, I'm super lazy!" He said with a hand behind his head.

You looked at him with a scrunched face. "You'll get wrinkles. Stop that." He said in a serious tone. You sighed.

"Fine. Same address?" "Yup!"

____________________

It was early April already, and the weather was absolutely amazing. It was warm and sunny, and the petals and blossoms of each flower seemed to be at their peak.

Yet irritably, you weren't feeling all well today, and you associated that with the pollens that the spring blossoms bring, together with the lack of sleep due to the late nights you pulled recently because of mission reports and studying for the exam to proceed to the next school year.

You could hardly believe that almost a school year has passed by ever since you entered Jujutsu high. The past months have only been the definition of enjoyable and challenging. And you hoped it would stay this way. As far as you knew, none of your friends plan on giving up jujutsu, even Yuta demolished his plans to do so after Rika was dispelled. A few speeches and arguments from everyone and the boy finally yielded to the persuasion of everyone, although you do hear him talk about his plans of studying curses abroad after someone offered him the opportunity to.

You were wearing a thick jacket and casual leggings; a fever patch was placed on your forehead, your baby hairs covering it a little. The weather was not exactly cold today, yet you had chills and your temperature was alarmingly close to that of a fever. The eyes under your glasses were also a little puffy and stingy, but because of your natural high endurance to eye irritancies, it barely felt bothersome.

Because you were traveling by train, you wore a surgical mask to make sure no one catches your disease if ever it was contagious. You got it from Inumaki who tried to convince you to stay this morning.

"Okaka." He crossed both his index fingers together.

"I have to..." You said, your voice muffled because of your stuffy nose.

"Okaka. Tuna tuna." He didn't see why you had to, it was supposed to be Gojo's job after all. He was pointing to himself, telling you to bring him with you.

"No, no. You have a mission with Panda remember? That's much more important and urgent. I can go on my own."

He sighed dejectedly, giving up. He instead turned his back and went to fetch something from inside the room. He went back to the door, handing you two surgical masks.

"Tuna mayo." He squinted his eyes at you, poking your fever patched forehead a couple of times.

You laughed. "Yeah, yeah. I promise to take care. See you later! I'll bring him back with me ASAP!"

Now, you were inside the train, sitting down squished beside two strangers who tried to look opposite of your direction, since you did look ill.

Once the train stopped, you waited for it to empty a little before childishly jumping instead of carefully climbing down the train's staircase. You looked around, and once you saw the sign you were looking for, you walked in that direction, exiting the station.

______________________

You were now walking through a peaceful street, looking at all the houses that looked familiar to you. You knocked on the one that looked the most familiar− a place you've already been to a few times in the past because of Gojo nagging you to tag along. Though it's been quite a while since your last visit.

You rang the doorbell.

Calm footsteps were heard from the other side of the door, and then it opened.

"You don't look well, [y/n]-senpai... Gojo-sensei should've come instead."

"It's been a while, Megumi." he was wearing a plain shirt and black pants, a backpack strapped onto his back while he stood behind the door scratching his head.

"Ah well, I kinda wanted to visit anyway." Your voice was muffled under your mask and you shivered a little as the breeze flew by.

"I would offer you hot tea or coffee but I already packed everything..." He said, looking into his house with the stacks of boxes and luggage around.

You sighed. Gojo was definitely just lazing around and avoiding having to carry so many boxes. "No, it's fine! Let's just head back quickly. How many boxes and luggage bags?"

"8 boxes, 2 luggage bags, and a backpack."

You held your index finger up in declaration. "Don't worry Megumi, I'll just do 2 rounds." You said with determined eyes and sparkles around you. "Eh?!"

"I'll just take the 2 rounds back, senpai. It'll be troublesome for you."

"Nah it's fine. Besides, you'll need to unpack and fix your dorm. I can go back here while you do that." He still seemed hesitant but agreed nevertheless.

You entered the house and stared at the properly labeled boxes of his belongings.

"You take all your bags. I'll take three boxes. I'll bring the clothes and toiletries first."

He nodded and helped me stack the boxes on top of each other and place them on top of my hands behind my back.

"A-are you sure you can carry three at a time?" He asked before opening the door to exit the house.

"Yeah, it's fine. The clothes and toiletries aren't that heavy. But riding the train would be very troublesome..."

You stepped outside and started walking back to the station with Megumi following beside you. The only thing you heard was your own ragged breathing and the noisy rolling of the luggage bag's wheels against the rough and rocky concrete.

"How is Tsumiki?" You asked, regretting it a little after you notice him stiffening from your question.

"She's... Fine I guess..."

"I see... She is a fighter, I'm sure that someday, we'll get to be with her again."

"Yeah..."

It was silent after that.

_____________________

After struggling to fit ourselves and the luggage we brought inside the train, the train finally came to a halt, and the passengers were kind enough to let the two of you off first after seeing you struggle to keep everything in place during the ride.

The station was a little far from Jujutsu High, not taking into account the long travel to actually get to the school's facilities.

After walking out of the station, Megumi offered to switch places and left you to carry his backpack and luggage bags instead.

After a long walk, you were finally on the premises of Jujutsu High. You saw Fushiguro taking heavy breaths as he stared around with the boxes slanting on his bent back.

"Wanna switch?" He nodded. After struggling to place the boxes on top of each other, the two of you traveled to his dorm.

_____________________

"We're here! This is your room, hold up let me get the keys..." You dropped the boxes on the floor with a loud thud, searching your pockets for the keys of his room.

You almost fainted after realizing that your teacher never gave you the keys to his dorm in the first place.

"I'LL PUNCH YOU LATER GOJO SATORU!" You shouted in frustration.

Megumi sweatdropped and tried to open the room, but unfortunately, you really did need a key to open the door.

"Wait here." You ran towards the side of the building where your room was located and opened your unlocked door violently to storm in and grab your key and a kitchen knife.

You ran outside again, forgetting to close the door, and went back to Megumi.

"Cross your fingers." And he indeed crossed his fingers.

You inserted your key inside the keyhole, your face lighting up as it almost fit perfectly. But to your dismay, the key did not match, getting stuck as you turned it.

"Megumi, make sure Gojo buys you a doorknob later." You turned to him, raising your knife. He nodded cautiously.

"Go to the direction where I came from and knock on the room beside the open door. Tell him I need help. If we're lucky, they might be back from their mission." He nodded and walked fast in the direction you pointed.

While he did, you slid the knife in the small gap between the door and the doorframe, sliding it down until you felt the latch. You tried your best to push it sideward to open the door. Your concentration was immense, you feel your snot dripping down from your nose as you stuck your tongue out under your mask.

After a while, Megumi got back to you with Inumaki, to which you gratefully sighed.

"Thank goodness. Please lend me your keys." You turned to him with a tired expression. He reached for his pockets and handed you his keys.

Unfortunately, they didn't match again. You groaned in annoyance.

"Megumi, make sure Gojo buys you a door too." You looked at the door seriously, pulling your sleeves up.

"Salmon salmon." Inumaki turned to the door as well.

"On the count of three."

"Tuna."

"Who needs keys when we can kick the door down, right?" You said as you huffed a tired breath out.

"Kelp."

Fushiguro stared silently with a squinted face, what a welcome this is.

"Welcome to your room." You said as Inumaki helped you drag the fallen door outside.

"Sujiko."

"Oh, you should get the broom first, I have one in my room."

"O-okay..." He said and ran towards my room again.

He came back with a broom and dustpan from my room, I took it and swept the dust and pieces of wood on the floor that was the result of kicking it down.

"Alright, you can move in now," you said, allowing him to finally enter. Inumaki got the boxes and moved them inside the room.

"Thank you, er...."

"Inumaki Toge." You said as you entered and placed the dustpan and broom at the corner of the room.

"He's a cursed speech user, so he speaks onigiri ingredients to avoid accidentally cursing someone."

"Sujiko."

Megumi's mouth rounded in understanding nodding a little before reaching for Inumaki's hand for a shake.

"Well, I'll head back to your house to get the other boxes. You stay here and arrange your things already." You straightened your back and let out a huff, earning a nod from Megumi.

"Tuna mayo." He raised his hand.

"Oh! Sure! Let's cash in the extra travel expense on sensei. Hehe, let's go spend some extra money along the way too." You snickered evilly, Inumaki and Fushiguro smiled a little in response.

_____________________

You and Toge arrived at Megumi's house after another ride through the train.

A sudden jolt of panic attacked you. You didn't remember asking Megumi for the keys.

"Tuna," Inumaki said, rattling the keys in his hands.

"Oh thank god." You sighed in relief, getting the keys from his hands and opening the door with a creek.

The two of you entered the house and you guided him to the living room where the rest of the boxes were. He counted them, pointing with his fingers then finally he said, "Tuna tuna," with three fingers up.

"Okay." You took two boxes, and he got the remaining three.

The two of you exited the house, locking the door shut, before heading to the station once more.

_____________________

"Let's stop by a café and bring them something back home! It's on Gojo-sensei." You flashed at him with a thumbs-up as the two of you sat comfortably beside each other inside the train.

There were barely any people during this time, which left the train very spacious.

"Salmon salmon." His hand formed an okay sign as he looked at you.

"How did your mission go?"

"Leaf mustard."

"What grade?"

His hand brought up one finger. You hummed. A grade 1 curse, huh.

"It's been a while since I last went on a mission... Well, not really, but you go on missions more often than I do."

"Tuna mayo."

"Is it because of your technique?"

"Hm...Salmon?"

"Hm... We have similar techniques though. But you're stronger."

He raised a brow. "Okaka."

"Yes, you are."

"Okaka."

You raised your brow. "Yes."

"Okaka."

"Yes you are!"

"Okaka."

You sighed. "How about, we're evenly powerful?"

"Salmon."

"ʸᵒᵘ'ʳᵉ ˢᵗʳᵒⁿᵍᵉʳ ᵗʰᵒᵘᵍʰ..." you whispered.

"Okaka."

You turned to him and laughed a little.

"Inumaki,"

"Mm?"

"Well, obviously you're from the Inumaki clan,"

He nodded.

"Is the Inumaki clan close with the Hitomi Clan?"

There was a moment of silence. He almost knew where this conversation was going.

"Salmon."

"Are you close with a Hitomi though?"

The hum he gave in response said, 'not really'.

"Are they a good clan?"

"Hm... leaf mustard?"

"What do you think about me joining them?"

He paused.

"Okaka."

You were silent for a while, just staring blankly at the train windows, looking at the buildings and houses passing by quickly as the train sped by past them.

"I don't want to join either... And I'm almost certain that I never will."

"Salmon."

The train decelerated to a stop, announcing our arrival at the station.

Carefully, you and Inumaki stepped down the train and traveled to the path back to Jujutsu High.

"Let's stop by the café before going back."

"Sujiko."

____________________

You stopped in front of the café, allowing the guard outside to open the doors for the two of you.

Inumaki found a spot where there was enough space to lay the boxes you carried down, then came with you to line up.

When your turn came up, you got drinks for everyone back at home, and two dozens of donuts that were coincidentally on a promo.

"What drink do you want?" You turned to Inumaki.

He shook his head and instead pointed at the available ice cream sundae on the menu stuck to the counter.

"Oh! Ok, sure sure. So uh, two of [ice cream flavor] sundae, please. Yes, that would be it."

You handed money to the young lady behind the counter, and after receiving your orders, thanked her and went back to Megumi's boxes.

Inumaki first helped you stack the boxes on top of your hands, making sure they were stable, until putting the food on top of it all. He then went to carry his own set of boxes, then exited the café together with you.

____________________

You went home to an uncomfortable Megumi being intimidated by Maki, Panda, and Yuta.

"A Zenin, huh. Must be nice to inherit a technique." Maki said, Yuta and Panda trailing behind her.

"Oi Maki, stop being so cold," Panda commented, earning a small chuckle from Yuta.

"We're back." You announced, earning their attention.

"Kelp."

"[y-y/n]-senpai..." Megumi looked at you with a face asking for help.

"This is Fushiguro Megumi. Megumi, this is Maki Zenin, a cursed weapon specialist, Yuta

Okkotsu, a special grade sorcerer, and Panda. You already know Inumaki."

Fushiguro looked at Panda with a confused look but accepted the fact that there would be no

further explanations about this talking Panda.

"Here Megumi, we got your stuff. We also got some food and drinks along the way. It's on Gojo-

sensei." You laughed cunningly, handing everyone the drinks and opening a box of donuts.

"I'll call Gojo. Tell him to go door shopping with you."

"Okay."

You went through your contacts to look for his name, halting as you came near it. Pressing it and calling his number, the others watched your attempt to contact him while eating donuts.

It rang until the very end, no one answered the phone. You let out an annoyed groan.

"Pick up..."

You rang it once again, and on the sixth ring, he finally answered.

"What does [l/n] [y/n] want from her Gojo Satoru-sensei?"

"[l/n] [y/n] and Fushiguro Megumi would want their Gojo Satoru-sensei to buy a new door."

The other man on the line paused.

"Seriously?"

"Yep. Please come back to school, thank you bye-bye!"

"[y/n] explain a little mo-"

"Gojo Satoru-sensei said he'll be here in a few minutes." You declared, earning a laugh from Maki.

Just after a few moments, we saw Satoru walking towards us.

"How are my precious students? Looking really healthy, [y/n]." He stated as he arrived. "Oh my!

Where did you get the donuts? Let me just take some..." He said, taking the other box of unopened donuts.

"Don't worry, you're paying me." You said, handing him the only other drink left.

"Hehehe [y/n], what makes you think I'll reimburse the money you spent?"

"Because I came to pick up Fushiguro Megumi-kun, which was your job as a teacher, even though I'm not exactly feeling the best today. It has cost me precious time that I could have spent resting at home. But since my poor sensei had errands to do-"

Gojo chuckled and laughed it off, cutting you midway.

"Yes yes, I was planning on paying you anyway, haha..." He said, slurping his drink loudly after he did.

You took a breath of victory, then sat on the floor against the wall for back support.

"So, why did you call me again?" Gojo asked.

"To buy Megumi a door."

"Ah yes. To buy Megumi a door."

"Why is the door broken again?" Yuta asked.

"He didn't give me the keys and I couldn't open it. So... we kicked the door open."

"Salmon."

"Ah..." Yuta responded.

"Gojo, buy him a door. Right now." Maki said.

"Jeez so demanding! Chill out for a bit, Maki!" With that, Maki let out an irritated click of her tongue, muttering unheard words under her breath.

"But seriously though, Megumi needs a door." You said. The teacher inspected the door, touching the door frame and staring at it intently as if a professional deciding what door would suit this frame.

"About 2 meters and... 60 centimeters...Yeah! That should do it!" He goofily smiled.

"Okaka!"

"HEY! You call that measuring?! You might get the size wrong!" You looked at him after hearing

his absurd 'measurements'.

"Trust me~ I got it right~"

"Megumi. Go measure the door frame." You tell Megumi, who was silent throughout this time.

"Okay."

"2 meters and.... 88 centimeters," Megumi announced.

"I TOLD YOU IT WASN'T ACCURATE!" You faced Gojo.

"Well, at least he got the 2 meters..." Panda commented.

"Tuna mayo."

You sighed. "Now sensei, buy him a door."

"Yep! Let's go, Megumi!"

"Hello! Today we'll have a special guest to celebrate 3.5k views and 200+ votes!" [y/n] announced.

"Tuna!"

"Who is it, [y/n]-senpai?" Megumi asked, the others in the room were expectant as well.

"It's none other than, drumroll please, author-sensei! honeylemon-sensei!"

"Eh? I thought it was some bigshot shaman." Maki commented.
