(Y/n) paced around the penthouse, with eyebags evident under his eyes. Ever since Sukuna left, he had not gotten an ounce of sleep. He doesn't even know where his brother went! When Megumi woke up, he found (Y/n) still pacing around anxiously. "You need to sleep (Y/n)," Megumi said, looking at his friend in sympathy.

"But Sukuna isn't back yet, what if he got lost? Or traffic? Maybe he ran away because I'm a bad brother?" (Y/n) asked frantically, making zero sense. It was already morning and the storm was gone, making (Y/n) all the more worried. "What if he doesn't come back? What if he hates me? Where would he go? Am I a bad brother? Did I fuck up?" (Y/n) continued to ask as he gripped his hair.

Megumi frowns at (Y/n)'s worries and then leads him to sit down on the couch. "I know my boyfriend by now, he would never ever hate you," Megumi said seriously. Quite frankly he's shocked that (Y/n) would ever think Sukuna could turn his back to him. "But you don't understand, I did something really, really, really, bad," (Y/n) said as he stood back up, too fidgety to stay still.

Megumi sighed, shaking his head. "I'm certain Sukuna is trying to find a way to fix your mess, which was stupid on your part," Megumi said, blunt. "And not even just him, what the hell would Nobara and I do when you suddenly vanished? Moving abroad without even discussing this with us."

"You heard all that?" (Y/n) asked nervously. Megumi shakes his head and holds out (Y/n)'s phone. "Sukuna was in a rush, couldn't exactly get a clear answer, but after reading your messages between your parents I got the idea," he explains. Because like hell (Y/n) would tell the truth if Megumi asked him for it. Still, Megumi feels bad he had to resort to going through (Y/n)'s personal messages. Plus with other factors, Megumi's sharp mind pieced together what was going on.

"I'm sorry... I just– Sukuna is doing so much for me! I thought... I thought taking on this burden for him would make him happy," (Y/n) said as he sat back down, looking frustrated. "My parents were going to ship Sukuna away, and I know how happy Sukuna is here. I figured if I went, it would make things better," he mumbled. Megumi hit (Y/n) on the head. "That wouldn't make anyone happy!" Megumi said, now frustrated.

"Why not? Sukuna has every right to be here as I do! He was planning on doing this for me, why is it different if I do the same for him?!" (Y/n) argued as he looked at Megumi in despair. "Because!" Megumi struggles to put it into words. "Because you make everyone here happy (Y/n), Sukuna knows you won't be happy there alone on the other side of the world," Megumi's angry voice turns into a soft tone. "Sukuna's protective of you because you're practically one of the best things in this world and if something were to happen to you he would never forgive himself. None of us would."

"But Sukuna makes everyone happy too! Doesn't he matter too? I understand he wants to protect me and I'm trying to protect him too, is that so wrong?" (Y/n) asked as he looked down at his hands. Megumi walks up to (Y/n) and kneels in front of him. "Of course, it's not wrong, and he does matter," Megumi said, sighing. "But you went about this so wrong, and practically illegal. If someone over there was to find out you would be jailed and we would be stuck over here, unable to bail you out."

"Really?" (Y/n) asked with a look of horror, he didn't want to go to jail. "Yes really, they would think you stole Sukuna's identity," Megumi said, frowning. "And what would happen if Sukuna tried to find work here under his name? It would be in the system that Itadori Sukuna was across the sea and they would think Sukuna stole his own identity."

"I didn't think about that..." (Y/n) muttered, having not realized it was that bad. Megumi sits beside him, glad that it's going through (Y/n)'s thick skull to see how bad this whole situation is. "Yeah...it's pretty bad, I think that's why he was in a hurry to fix this whole mess," Megumi mutters. "I wouldn't worry about it too much, Sukuna is capable of anything and when it comes to you, he will make sure things are set right."
