Megumi spend his 16th birthday last year while being a victim of Sukuna, so nobody could care about that anymore, just to care about saving him.

And he understood. He never really liked celebrating anyway. He didn’t even want to celebrate this one, his 17th one, because Gojo and his sister Tsumiki aren’t alive anymore, but he has friends to take care of that.

So while you, Yuji and Nobara knew that he was asleep, waiting for midnight to come to surprise him, you stand outside his dorm room, waiting for the clock to hit midnight.

Yuji and Nobara didn’t know when his birthday was at first, but you always remembered stuff like that, so you were the one who saved their asses. And as a cheerful friend you are, you made sure to bring him the best gift you could. Of course, all three of you wanted to bring a lot of balloons and decorations, but you knew that he won’t like it, so you brought just a few.

Your hands hold the giant plushie of a black Divine Dog of his, looking exactly the same, but just a bit smaller, while Yuji holds a cake and a letter he tried writing, (the guy was never good in that), while Nobara carries the bag full of clothes (she bought that when she was shopping like usual), something she knew that he’d like.

As you guys finally enter his room and yell a ‘Happy Birthday’, you were surprised to see him standing right before you, flicking the lights on with a deadpan expression on his face

At first you were stunned, then Yuji laughed nervously

Yuji: “You were awake…?”

Megumi: “You weren’t quiet enough.”

You and Nobara look at each other, slightly disappointed by the fact
