Nothing with you is ever teensy, just so you know.

What is it?

[revolts]

why the FUCK does megumi not know I'm dead

[takumina]

( ah fuck.

sorry toji you're gonna be left on read for a few minutes while he sets his phone down and stares at it like it just insulted his entire family and put dishonor on his cow. )

There are a LOT of Megumis in the world.
Do all of them need to know if you're alive or dead?

[revolts]

[ he's been avoiding calling megumi his son to you out of partial awkwardness and partial acknowledgement satoru you bitch. he's sure the one thing we can all agree on is that that's more gojo's kid than his, but there's no faster way to slap down satoru's bullshit du jour so here we all are. ]

my son.

[takumina]

( there is a part of him that understands this, both sides, but at the end of it all, regardless of whether or not he'd been the one to effectively raise him.

he's your son. though if you want to start a co-parenting thing, he might be all ears. )

That one.




I tried to tell him.

[revolts]

apparently not that hard. fuck.

[ he gets it though, he's proud of you for at least not pressing it when megumi wasn't interesting in hearing, but also, the last ten years????? what is going on with that kid besides not enough therapy. ]

well I tipped him off by accident. because I didn't think he wouldn't know. FUCK.

[takumina]

He didn't want to know, Toji.
I wasn't about to press anything.

( thanks for being proud, at least, though?

there is a lot going on with that child besides a lack of therapy. how much time do you have? )

...
....
.....
......

( yes, he is doing the excessive ellipses on purpose. )

How do you do that BY ACCIDENT?

[revolts]

[ he's having a crisis here man and he really needs you to get on board. ]

I THOUGHT HE KNEW

[takumina]

I should have told you that I never managed to tell him.

I'm sorry.

[revolts]

[ being apologized to is WEIRD and he doesn't like it. especially since it doesn't feel like gojo is being sassy with him. ]

god dammit. what are we supposed to tell him now I just stopped responding but what if he starts asking questions

[takumina]

( nope, he's being entirely genuine. get used to it.

maybe if it keeps happening, it will. )

Do you really think he's going to?

[revolts]

[ we've moved on to sheer dad panic. ]

I don't know, fuck. I'm not good at gauging this kid's sheer capacity for denial. are you??

[takumina]

( oh no. don't worry, he's got you.

as much as he can, anyway. )

His capacity for denial is astounding, honestly.
So ... maybe he won't.
But then he could throw us for a loop.
He's been known to do that.

[revolts]

are you going somewhere with this because all you've said is 'could be anything'.

[takumina]

It could be anything.

( he's not doing this on purpose.

their boy is just that much of a variable. )

[revolts]

[ ARE YOU FUCKING SURE YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS ON PURPOSE, GOJO SATORU. because toji's blood pressure is so high right now he can physically feel all the veins in his head. ]

thanks that helps.

fuck.

look, I don't care where on this you fall or what you were gonna tell him.

I don't want him to know it was you.

[takumina]

( don't pop a blood vessel, sir. it's not cute.

but he's going to go quiet for a second, the tone of the conversation sobering up instantly. )

Do you think he would hate me if he did?

[revolts]

don't ask me to know the first thing about the kid. you raised him. I was just around for a minute.

I think it'd complicate things for him either way. he doesn't need any more of that.
