Sukuna leaned back in his chair, "See, I knew you'd ace it. I'm happy for you Megumi."

Megumi actually accepted his compliment. "Thanks. But it was really because of your notes. Even though I don't want to admit it, there's no way I could've gotten that grade without your help. So thank you."

Megumi remembered studying a few days before the test, looking through all of Sukuna's detailed and nicely written notes. He couldn't help but feel grateful for the effort that Sukuna went into for him.

Sukuna smiled. "It was no problem, I'm glad I could help you." And then he leaned a little closer to Megumi. "But if you really want to thank me then how about we go on a date?"

"A date? Why would I do that?" Megumi responded.

"Because we didn't get to hang out together on the night of the dance." He explained. "So I'll take you out to whatever restaurant you like after school and I'll treat you. It's on me." He offered generously.

Megumi looked skeptical about it. "I don't really know if I should..."

"Even though Yuuji likes another girl?" He mentioned.

Megumi flinched. He really had to bring that up.

"You'll have fun when you're with me. I promise." Sukuna assured him. "I really won't do anything to make you mad. I really like you, Megumi." He said with sincerity in his voice.

Megumi couldn't help but blush a bit at Sukuna's confession. He still thought that Sukuna was just playing around with him, but he still felt a bit warm inside. "Fine," he agreed reluctantly. "Just because I'm not that busy right now."

Yuuji likes another girl, Megumi thought. So I guess there's no harm in hanging out with someone else. Just so I can kill time. And it doesn't hurt that Sukuna looks just like him.

"But you're not allowed to touch my ass so don't even try it!" He warned.

"Haha, fine." Sukuna laughed. "But can I touch somewhere else? Like your hand?" He suggested, reaching for Megumi's hand. Megumi pulled away on reflex. 

"Not now." Megumi responded.

"So later?" Sukuna asked.

Megumi thought about it. Well if it's just hand holding then he figured it wasn't a big deal. "...We'll see." 

"Great. I can't wait for later then," he winked at Megumi.

They met up together at an arcade. Megumi came a bit earlier than the time they scheduled to meet. He checked his watch. "It's time now. What if he's late again?" Megumi wondered. He wouldn't be surprised if Sukuna was late by a few hours.

And then he saw Sukuna walking towards him and waving him. As he got closer, Megumi had to admit that he looked good. At least he put in effort into his appearance, Megumi thought. And he's on time.

"Surprisingly you're not late," Megumi observed.

 Sukuna just chuckled. "Didn't I tell you? I wouldn't do anything to make you mad." He smirked. Then he grabbed Megumi's hand, "Come on, let's go inside." And they walked in together. 

Megumi and Sukuna looked and walked around, observing all of the different machines and games. They were all brightly lit up and some of them had very expensive prizes. Past the arcade area was a dining area. 

Then Sukuna spotted a basketball arcade machine. "Do you want to try that Megumi?" He asked. 

"I don't know, I'm not really good at basketball," he admitted. 

"You don't need to be good at basketball to play. Let's do it anyways." He gently pushed Megumi towards the arcade machine. Sukuna inserted a coin into it, and they started shooting as the time limit went down.

"Haha, this is easier than I thought!" Megumi was shooting hoops like a pro, dunking in one goal after another. 

Sukuna smiled at seeing Megumi having fun. "Look you're already a pro! And you even have a higher score than me." Their time ended, and the results were announced. Megumi won.

"I won!" Megumi cheered. "Or did you just not try on purpose?" He side eyed Sukuna.

"No no, you won fair and square," he said, but Megumi just glared at him. "Okay fine, I held back a bit so you could win. But it's because you looked so happy when you won!" He defended. 

Megumi was slightly touched. "Well, that's sweet of you to let me win. But next time you have to actually try."

"Of course," he promised. "I'll try my best for you." Sukuna winked at Megumi.

They went to more games, including an air hockey table. During the times where Sukuna decided to try, he had a flawless victory. But even though he lost, Megumi was having fun. 

"Geez, I suck at air hockey!" He proclaimed, but he was laughing as Sukuna got another goal off of him.

"You're better than most people I've played. Just some more practice and you'll be a pro," he assured. Megumi started the next round, and they were hitting the puck back and forth.

"Maybe I'll be better than you!" He hit the puck forcefully, almost making a goal in but Sukuna successfully blocked it.

"Does that mean you want to come here again later for a rematch?" He asked, hopeful that it meant that they could go on another date.

Megumi thought about it. "Fine. But next time I'll win everything." He said confidently as he finally managed to score a goal off Sukuna as their time ran out. Sukuna still won, but Megumi was glad he could get a few goals off him. 

A few more hours passed. After some more playing, they went to the dining area and got something to eat, and Sukuna paid for everything. After a meal, they were at a table eating ice cream for dessert.

"Mmm, this is good," Megumi took another lick of his ice cream cone. "It's a bit too sweet for me, but it's still really good."

Sukuna smirked. "You look like a bowl of ice cream. It makes me want to spoon you," he said as he actually ate another scoop from his bowl of ice cream.

Megumi rolled his eyes. "You and your stupid pick up lines. Do you have another one?" He asked.

Sukuna thought about it. Then he said, "You must sit on a pile of sugar because you've got one sweet ass." 

Megumi couldn't help but squirm in his chair. "You can't touch it!" He declared.

Sukuna just laughed. "Yeah yeah, I know. But it's still sweet." He leaned forward a bit and took a lick of Megumi's ice cream. Then he licked his lips. "It's really fucking sweet."

"Do you always use these pick up lines to hit on people?" Megumi asked. "I can't imagine that it works."  

"I've never used them for other people. In fact, I don't normally try this much for anyone." He stated. "But I thought that they would sound so ridiculous and stupid that they'd make you laugh and you'd think that I was funny."

Megumi was actually touched that Sukuna put in a decent amount of effort so Megumi would like him. "They're more stupid than funny. But they're a little funny." He admitted.

"If you like them even a little bit then I'm glad. It's always nice to see you smile, especially since you're so beautiful." He complimented, and Megumi blushed a little from shyness. 

 Megumi got up, finished with his ice cream, and he noticed that Sukuna was done too. "We're done, so let's go play some more."

Sukuna got up too. "Whatever you say babe." They threw out all their garbage and returned to the arcade area. 

Megumi got slightly bored of playing so he opted to just watch Sukuna play and verse other people. He kept winning game after game, and getting prize after prize, an arcade lady had to give him a bag so he could carry them all. He started to get attention from the other people in the arcade, and he had people crowding him whenever he versed someone else. He broke a few records as well.

Sukuna was versing some guy at the basketball machine again, and he was dominating him with a gap of more than 200 points. Then the time ran out, and Sukuna won. 

"You're winning a lot." Megumi observed. So he really wasn't trying that time when he let me win, he thought. 

"I must be doing better because you're here with me," he flirted. Megumi laughed this time, finding his pick up lines to be more endearing than annoying now. 

Sukuna held his bag full of prizes. "I want one more prize before we leave." He said, and he directed Megumi towards the crane machine.

It was a huge crane machine, and it was filled with a lot of stuffed animals, particularly from popular Disney shows. There was a stitch plushie, an alien plushie, an olaf toy, and in the middle, a giant Winne the Pooh head was sticking out from underneath the others. 

"It's Winne the Pooh! I love Winnie the Pooh!" Megumi pointed at it.

"You're adorable," Sukuna said, seeing Megumi light up like a little kid at seeing the bear. "Then I'll get that one." He placed a coin in the machine and started controlling the claw. On his first try, he managed to get the Winnie the Pooh bear. Megumi watched as it came out of the machine.  

Sukuna picked it up. Then he took out a marker, and drew some lines on it's face, similar to the face tattoos that Sukuna had. Megumi watched in shock as Sukuna left his mark all over the poor bear. Then he handed it to Megumi.

"It looks ugly now. I don't want it," he refused. 

Sukuna chuckled. "Just take it. And make sure you sleep with it. It'll be like you're sleeping with me," he flirted.

Megumi scoffed. "Then I'll never sleep with it."

But Sukuna wasn't deterred. "You're right. I don't need a bear as my substitute, I'd rather just have you in my arms." He winked. 

Megumi looked at him in disgust, but he took the bear. Even though it was vandalized, it was still Winnie the Pooh so Megumi liked it. Then Sukuna picked up his bag of prizes, and handed them to Megumi as well. "These are for you too."

Megumi looked down at the bag incredulously. "There's no way I can take that! Those are yours! And there's a lot of expensive stuff in there." Sukuna won a lot of first place prizes, so they included more limited edition stuffed animals and expensive gaming consoles.

"Just take them babe, I won all of these for you." He insisted. Then he walked over to the garbage can. "If you don't take them then I'll throw them all the way," he held the bag over top of the garbage. 

"No, that would be a waste!" He stopped Sukuna. "Fine," he took the bag from him. Then he looked down at it and his bear appreciatively. "Thank you."

"No problem, I had a good time. I'm glad I could come with you today, and I'm looking forward to going on another date with you." He said sincerely.

"I actually had a good time too," Megumi realized. "I don't regret coming here with you. It was a lot of fun."

"You need a ride home?" Sukuna offered. "I can drop you off."

"Sure, since I'm carrying a lot of stuff." And he followed Sukuna to his car.

Maybe he's not as bad of a guy as I thought.
