midnight texting

[lowlaw]

The Midnight Texting Meme It's the middle of the night and you're trying to catch some z's — or brooding alone in the alleys, as one does — when your phone dings and suddenly a stranger or a friend is texting you. What could they possibly want at this hour? Is it important? Stupid? Are they drunk or maybe just needy? Do they need help hiding a body??? Pick up your phone and find out! Rules: ● Post with your character's name and canon on the subject line, indicate preferences as needed ● Tag others ● Have fun!

We could take care of that sleep problem together.

[ He doesn't want to think about the fact that Megumi is being sent on a solo mission while Satoru is too far away to come to his rescue, wondering what the higher-ups are after. Is it as simple as trying to kill off Gojo Satoru's favorite pet?

He'd kill every last one of them if they tried. ]

Would you like to see me right now, Megumi-chan~?

[unequally]

What?

[ and then, after leaving him on read for a not small amount of time... ]

This feels like a trick question, Gojou-sensei.

[ on the one hand, yes. on the other hand, he can hear gojou laughing at him already...that peculiar tone he takes that always puts megumi at a loss when they're in front of other people, and, actually, even sometimes when they aren't.

he had half expected gojou to ask him about the mission but then he realizes after finding out he was assigned to it, he would have gotten all of that data at the same time. megumi isn't worried; his other solo missions so far have all ended in success with higher or lower rates of injury. there's no reason he should be concerned that this one will be different.

(even though it will be.)]

Cameras exist.

[ And that’s all the hinting Megumi will get. ]

[unequally]

[ genuinely wonders: what are you going to send me a selfie with a landmark? ]

It's not like I forgot what you look like.

[ though doing it now would be better than later when he'll be thrashed enough after the mission -- a week or so from now when it's done -- that any video or photo nonsense will only put both of them in bad moods; megumi because he'll be showing his failures. ]

[ For someone so intelligent, Megumi sure has his dumb moments.

Rather than replying, Satoru sends him a selfie from his luxurious hotel room. He's laying in bed, shirtless and perhaps more but with the voluminous white sheets strategically draped low over his hips. His face is very pointedly missing from the photo, but Megumi doesn't need to see it to recognize that it is, in fact, Satoru. ]

[unequally]

[ blame it on the late hour and blame it on his clearly Very Misplaced faith in satoru to be above board about even a single conversation they have. it defies reason, and reason is something megumi's intelligence is so deeply rooted in, it sometimes wends all the way back around into obtuseness. impressive if it wasn't stupid, perhaps.

he blinks with due stupidity at the picture, less surprised than he wishes he was.

there really is only one reply. ]

Who's that?

[throughout]

[ See, the problem here is that Satoru thinks he's being coy, or being bratty, and either is just. Cutetly difficult. So of course he wants to be difficult right back. ]

Who im having sex with tonight.

[ It's technically not a lie. ]

[unequally]

[ sometimes megumi really does have to face the harsh reality of life: age is just a number. ]

Stupid.

[ is he referring to the answer? the picture? satoru himself? d. all of the above? unfortunately, this kind of question has the same sort of answer as a question like well how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop? which is to say.....none.

he does hover his finger over the 'block' button, however. ]

Guess I really will just be enjoying this big bed alone. It would have been better with you at least replying. And you could use the activity to tire out and get your mind off of tomorrow enough to sleep.

Buuuut no. Enjoy your book~

[unequally]

I'm finishing this book so I can start the other one.

[ not, strictly, accurate. but it's true in a sense: thank you for the book. megumi's missions never put him in a place to procure such things, somehow, and it's not like he has much money of his own anyway. ]

See you in a week.

[ vaguely. mission going accordingly and all. (it will and it won't, of course.) ]

[throughout]

You know me, I'll be finished sooner.

Enjoy Sendai.

[ This time, the photo he sends has a distinctive blue eye in the corner and the sheets pushed low on a hip to prove that yes, in fact, he's naked in bed.

But Megumi's book is super enthralling, so he'll just assume this is the end of their conversation. ]
