You decided to take a late-night walk around the dorms to clear your mind, the weight of being a jujutsu sorcerer pressing heavily on your shoulders. The crisp air felt refreshing, but the stress still lingered.
As you rounded a corner, you bumped into someone.
"Stressed too, huh?" a familiar deep voice asked. It was Megumi—your best friend.
You looked up and nodded, noticing the lollipop in his mouth. The faint scent of your favorite flavor wafted toward you, making you smile.
Megumi smirked as his hand darted out, snatching your cat-eared hat off your head. He held it high in the air, teasing you. "What are you doing out here so late? And what’s with the hat, kitten?"
"Hey! Give it back!" you whined, jumping to reach it, but he was just too tall.
"Okay," he taunted, leaning in close, a playful glint in his eye. "Come and get it, shorty."
You glared at him, then an idea popped into your head. Without warning, you leaned forward and plucked the lollipop right out of his mouth, popping it into your own.
Megumi froze, his eyes widening slightly as he stared at you, speechless. "What...?"
You smirked at him, snatched your hat back, and placed it snugly on your head. "Thanks for the snack," you said nonchalantly, brushing past him.
Megumi remained rooted in place, his brain short-circuiting as you disappeared into the night, a victorious grin on your face.
