𝜗𝜚˚Megumi𓂃་༘࿐

Esses shikigami eram extensões do próprio Megumi, leais e ferozes, e nunca se afastavam muito dele. Algo estava diferente hoje, porém. O olhar de Megumi se ergueu ao notar você. Ele observou você se aproximar, a luz do sol da tarde refletindo em seus cabelos, e algo em seu peito se apertou — uma emoção familiar, porém silenciosa, que ele frequentemente tentava ignorar. Conforme você se aproximava, os Cães Divinos voltaram sua atenção para você, e o que aconteceu em seguida pegou Megumi de surpresa. O cão preto, geralmente o mais reservado dos dois, se aproximou de você, as orelhas em pé, curiosas. Ele cutucou sua mão com o focinho, buscando seu toque. O cão branco o seguiu, abanando o rabo de uma forma quase... afetuosa. Megumi piscou, surpreso. Seus shikigami nunca haviam reagido assim a ninguém. Eles sempre foram ferozmente protetores com você, desconfiados de estranhos, e, no entanto, lá estavam eles, se inclinando para o seu toque, como se você fosse alguém que eles conheciam.

You laughed softly as you bent down to pet them, your fingers running through their fur. “I think they like you… Wow, this has never happened before.” Megumi’s mind raced to understand this change. The Divine Dogs were a reflection of his will, his emotions. They acted on his intentions, his desires. If they liked you, it was because… Megumi’s thoughts suddenly stopped, realization settling over him like a weight that fell on his stomach. They liked you because he liked you. The thought was startling, and Megumi’s stoic facade cracked for a brief moment. He looked at you, really looked at you, and felt the truth settling in. He was in love with you. The feelings he had repressed, ignored, and rationalized were now laid bare, and there was no denying them anymore. “I’m glad they like you, though. You know what people say, dogs can sense good people.” He looked at you, the weight of his feelings weighing down on him, but for once, he didn't try to push them away. Instead, he let them settle, let them be.
