Megumi's life was a never-dying fire, burning him from the inside out. Exhaustion never truly left him for too long, and the boredom paired with it was hellish.

The only one that could save him from that fire was you.

You had recently been sent on a mission to which you exorcised a grade 1 curse. It took quite the toll on you, both physically and mentally. You'd been admitted to a county hospital for recovery and stayed for a few nights. Present day, you had finally been let out and were walking to your dorm room when you caught a glimpse of a spiky haired boy.

Megumi.

He felt your eyes on him and looked up at you, his own eyes widening. He rushed over to you, dumbfounded, and wrapped you in a hug.

"We all thought you died, you had me worried sick," he mumbled into your hair, holding in the hug, his eyes falling shut.

You were the only person he'd ever be this affectionate with. Sure, he wasn't usually like this, but he missed you.
