Megumi got comfortable with itadori who was a big dork at times but overall, was a good friend to get along. He decided that he would treat him out to some chicken and beer after work as they clocked out.
"Hey, itadori.. breakfast is on me! Let's go!"
*itadori grinned as he followed Megumi to a local chicken stall that was open already at the dawn of the new day.*
"Alright! I'm going to pig out then haha!"
*itadori and Megumi sat on some tables now as they had ordered their food and began eating. Megumi was curious about itadori so he decided to ask him about where he came from.*
"So itadori? Where did you come from? You don't look like a person from around here.. also where do you live?"
"Why? Are you planning to come stalk me?"
*itadori laughed as he felt Megumi give him a glare..*
"I'm kidding! Haha.. I live around here, but I don't really know from where im from.. I grew up in orphanages you see.."
*Megumi felt bad now as he heard the eeriness of what itadori said like it was something he didn't like talking about was quickly pulled from that thought as itadori smiled and began telling him his story.*
"I was a baby when my parents left me at the orphanage, I don't really remember much about them.. but the nice ladies back then just told me that I was safe and in good hands with them.. it was nice and all but I had to keep moving from one orphanage to another as their was money issues and scarce in food whenever I was their. Eventually I finished high school as he decided to go at it alone as I moved out and found myself in this place at the end. If anything, I find my life at its peel already and wouldn't ask for anything more of it.."
*itadori finished as he leaned back in his chair as he sighed happily after eating a good meal. Megumi only smiled as he was glad his new friend wasn't negative about his life. Itadori really was a rare person to come by these days.*
"Ah i see.."
"But, Megumi.. how about you? Where do you come from?"
*itadori asked now as Megumi sighed a bit as he started his side of his story..*
"Well.. where to start? I was born around here and I had a mother, father of course. I had a good family.. until my mother passed away in a accident, I don't know much or really remember it but my father became depressed after that. He married again, and had my step sister.. I got along with her fine. But I saw that it was time for me to go because my father spoke less to me as time went on. And my sister was going to college soon, so I went up to him oneday and said "dad, I'm leaving" he only nodded and that was that."
*itadori looked at Megumi as he pitted him a bit but tried cheering him up as he changed the sadness of the subject.*
"I'm sorry about your mothers death, but it seems to me like your dad trusted that you could handle yourself now. That pretty good coming from a orphan haha, the ladies didn't trust me alone to make it out here alive in the 'big scary world' but, I showed them I was leaving no matter what they did.. your pretty lucky to have a father who respected your decision Megumi."
*Megumi stared at itadori not having thought about his fathers actions in that matter as he gave him a soft smile and felt a bit happy that his father Toji had faith in him.*
"Yeah, I guess your right.. I never thought about it like that. Thanks itadori."
"No problem, do you want to come over to my place? It's not far and we can crash a bit there if you like?"
*Megumi nodded quickly as he followed itadori now to his apartment.*
"So Megumi? Where do you live now? How long was it since you moved out?"
*itadori waited for Megumi to answer as he saw Megumi look away with a shameful look.*
"I.. just.. moved out about a week ago.."
"Huh?!?"
*itadori was baffled as he looked back at Megumi who only sweatdropped about it.*
"Have you been sleeping on the street like some hobo this whole time?"
*itadori asked as Megumi barked back offended by itadori's image of him like some dirty man sleeping in the trash.*
"No!! I been sleeping at those sleeping centers with the money I been earning at the liquor store! But it's only temporary until I find a better place to rent-"
*itadori interrupted Megumi as he bursted into laughter as he and him arrived finally at his apartment.*
"Hahaha! Good luck! With your kind of pay, you be lucky if you can find some place as good as mine. Which I should tell you, you won't!"
*Megumi felt pissed at his comment but found himself in awe at itadori's place*
It was a small apartment with the bed directly in view with the kitchen to the right side. Their was also a cabinet with his clothes on the left which had a small tv on it and a round rug in the middle of the room. It was neat, tidy and very spacious for a small room.
Megumi sat on the floor after he took his shoes off at the entrance as he wait by itadori's bed for itadori's to come out of the restroom that was at the entrance in another smaller room itself. He began to see the cleanliness of itadori's room as he failed to see any pictures of him or anyone. He really was a simple guy.
"You like my place? You can stay over today if you like to save some money, don't worry about the landlord. I always pay on time and he doesn't mind when my neighbors bring guest over, so I assume it should be fine with me too."
*itadori came out of the restroom now as he wore his comfy t-shirt that said 'I love pandas' and some funny looking blue stripped loose shorts. It was definitely weird seeing him out of uniform for the first time.*
"Yeah, it's pretty homey and simple. How did you get it?"
"It wasn't easy, I had to sleep like a hobo and earn money from the liquor store back then as I looked for apartments I could afford. Eventually I found this place and been with it for a year now."
*itadori grabbed a water from the fridge as he handed it to Megumi. He received it as he began drinking it and sighed in relief of some good cold water.*
"Oh. Do you know if the landlord has any new rooms?"
*itadori shook his head as he turned on the tv and sat down next to Megumi who he brushed his knee next to his. He began talking as he explained how the landlord wasn't getting any good renters lately who would pay on time that year as he refused to rent to anyone who came asking for a room.*
"Oh, I see.. can I use the bathroom quick then? I want to shower at least, I haven't exactly gotten a bath in a week and I reek."
"Oh! Sure! You can use the extra towel I have there in the bathroom, and use the shampoo for your hair and body. I'll have some clothes out for you to change too knowing you probably don't have any to change at the moment with you right?"
"Yeah.. my clothes I packed are all dirty already. I'll be quick, thanks."
*Megumi stood up as his knee stopped touching itadori's and went straight to the bathroom.*
Itadori got up now as he looked for a extra shirt and shorts of his for megumi to wear as he hummed a lost tune. He found it as he went to the bathroom and opened it to leave the clothes on the toilet for him.
"Hey!! You idiot! I'm naked!! Knock first!!"
*Megumi flustered as he tried closing the door but itadori had the upper hand with his incredible strength.*
"Oops! Here Meg, I'll leave these here by the sink then.."
*itador got to see Megumi's naked chest as he closed the door and walked back to sit on the floor to watch tv.*
'His body looked good..'
*itadori felt a thump in his heart as he felt weird about that thought that passed by his head as he tried forgetting what he saw.*
