i know i’m super late to the party but i finally got my hands on a jjk light novel and wow. new angst material
無下限__“ close your eyes, you don’t need to see this. ” /For Megumi or Yuji, whoever seems the most dramatic.
A moment passed, hesitation as jade green eyes flitted from Gojo's familiar shape ahead of him to the man on the other side, partially blocked from view by his benefactor. Megumi stalled, not wanting to look away, but not wanting to disobey a direct order. Not that this felt like an order, so much as a firm request. Firmer than Gojo typically was with him. There was a coldness to his voice that told the boy that neither he, nor this interloper, were going to enjoy what was coming.
The man across from them leered, too cocky for Megumi's liking. Clearly he didn't know what they knew- which was that he'd just waded into waters, much too deep and treacherous for his expectations. He wasn't the first "envoy" the Zen'in had sent after Megumi, but something in the primal part of his brain told Megumi he was about to be the last.
I'm not some little kid, he wanted to argue, despite the obvious truth. He was exactly that- but Gojo wasn't that much older than him, really. At least, he wasn't an adult either- not like this man. Maybe that's why the "envoy" was so badly underestimating them now despite Gojo's fearsome reputation. A flicker of a more appropriate emotion crossed his face when the older boy spoke, addressing Megumi rather than him. Like he wasn't there. Like he didn't matter. And truly? He didn't.
After a beat, Megumi allowed himself to fall a step behind his companion and with a solemn glance at the figure blocking their path, shut his eyes.

"And you're still short now, so what's your point?" Megumi scoffed mildly without looking up to confirm the assessment of his upper classmate. The older boy was hovering over Megumi's shoulder as he turned the page of their new yearbook to show something less embarrassing. It was true that he'd hit a growth spurt since the beginning of their first semester, but did Toge really need to mention it?
"Don't know why they even bother with these when there's barely a handful of us." The next array of photos reflected the same images on each of their student IDs for the previous year accompanied by brief summaries of their specialties. Nothing new, nothing worth looking at. He shut the book and passed it over his shoulder to Toge, who seemed more interested in it than he was currently. "Knock yourself out."
