"Stop clinging to me so much... And calling me those things," Megumi muttered grumpily as soon as you clasped onto his arm, almost swallowing it entirely in your grasp. He felt a surge of embarrassment wash over him; he wasn't used to such displays of affection, especially in public. And being referred to as "boo" only heightened his discomfort.

"People are looking..." he added, his cheeks tinged with a rosy blush. Megumi quickly turned his gaze from you, shoving his hands into his pockets as if to feign indifference. He had once mentioned to Satoru that you weren't entirely intolerable and that you fought rather skilfully, but now he found himself paying the price for his casual comment —being teamed up with you on every mission, even the boring area inspections. "We need to keep more professional demeanor."

He attempted to conceal his true feelings behind a facade of detachment, but deep down, you knew he secretly enjoyed your affection.
