    Summary

    Suguru swallows thickly. "I've never been much good at helping anyone."

    And maybe he's right.

    Suguru isn't the kind of hero some sorcerers are, or long to be. He's spent his dwindling youth helping the weak and found himself spent and exausted for it, found himself growing mad with it.

    Except:

    "You've helped me." Satoru whispers. "You help me all the time."

    Suguru looks at him helplessly, like he still doesn't quite believe him.

    "If you can't stand to live for the weak anymore." Satoru whispers, hand trembling a little where it's cupping Suguru's wound. "Then learn to live for yourself, at least."

    Summary

    Fushiguro Megumi is a hard news journalist for a fairly successful newspaper in Toshima City, one of the central wards in Tokyo. He specializes in writing news for crime and politics.

    Crime and politics.

    So, when his Editor-In-Chief, Gojo Satoru, decides to put him on a sports feature, highlighting some famous boxer known as Itadori Yuuji, Megumi can't help but consider quitting right then and there.

    Seriously, what kind of story could come from that?

    Summary

    “What happened?!” Itadori exclaims, frantically pulling Megumi up from the ground and into his arms. The motion only makes the world spin above him as he tries to ignore the pounding ache in his head.

    “Uh, I think I got hit?” Megumi responds without grace.

    “Well, no shit.” Itadori has the audacity to roll his eyes at him, ever tactless. “God, you look like you’ve been hit by a car!”

    “That curse’s arm sure weighed like a car…”

    Dragging his eyes all over Megumi to take note of all his injuries, Itadori bites his lip in worry. In his prior panic, Itadori seemingly hadn’t noticed the tacky warmth on his hands when he had made contact with Megumi, or the large gash in his side opposite to him, but now he gets a thorough look and his eyes widen in shock.

    “Shit, shit, shit, shit– Fushiguro, you’re bleeding!”

    Megumi coughs, blood spilling from his lips. “Yeah, people tend to do that,” he says, deliriously.

    Summary

    Suguru has stopped just behind him, instead of continuing on to his own room.

    “Are you…okay?” He sounds hesitant, as if he isn’t really sure what to say.

    Satoru looks up from where his hand is reaching out, fighting to keep his eyes open as he turns slightly to where Suguru is standing. “Yeah? I’m fine.”

    “Are you…sure? You just look like you’re…going to fall over or something.”

    He’s right of course, Satoru wants nothing more than to be horizontal at the moment, but why does he care how Satoru feels right now? When has he ever cared? They’ve never been openly hostile to each other, but they’ve also never been more than classmates, who don’t bother with talking about anything other than school or training or petty arguments about who ate all the chips in the kitchen. (The shared kitchen, Satoru argued. If you don’t want other people to eat your food then don’t put it somewhere that they could get to it.)

    aka: satoru and suguru in their first year. satoru has no concept of self-care and suguru has to help him get through a migraine, then some more light angst when suguru is injured on a mission. maybe they fall in love. perchance

    Summary

    Satoru takes another step forwards, arms spreading wide in excitement, “Yūji-kun! You’re here!”

    “Oh my God,” the child repeats breathlessly, sounding far older than any child his age should sound, unable to tear his eyes away from Satoru. The boy shakes faintly, shock maybe, words a shaky exhale, “it’s really- you’re- you look- this is— oh my God!”

    Annnnd there’s really no doubting it now.

    Clearly those vivid dreams of war, imprisonment and eleven years of growing up is not the dream Satoru had thought it to be since waking up in the infirmary as a seventeen-year-old student, way back before the source of all his problems defected from Jujutsu society.

    What the hell is going on?
