Today they were assigning class roles. They had already picked class representative. Naturally, everyone voted for Sukuna. But he ended up getting paired with a girl he wasn't interested in.

Sukuna clicked his tongue. "Tch. It should've been Megumi. I don't want to work with some lame ass girl."

The teacher ignored Sukuna's remark. "Okay class, now we have to assign two people for cleaning duty. The two people picked will have to stay after school to clean, and then we can rotate after a few months."

Everyone groaned. Nobody wanted to get picked.

"I know, I know." The teacher calmed the class down. "But we have to. So to make things fair I'm going to make you pick out of a hat. Two slips of paper will have a red pen marking, and the rest of them will be blank. They're all folded so you can't tell which pieces are which."

"Hey sensei!" Sukuna called out. "I'm already class rep so I should be excused from doing this."

The teacher looked around hesitantly, trying to decide what to do. Then he just gave in. "Alright then. Sukuna you don't need to pick. Everyone else has to though."

Even the teachers gave in to Sukuna's requests. Sukuna smirked, satisfied that he didn't have to do menial work. "Knowing Yuuji with his terrible luck, he's probably going to end up doing it." He remarked.

Yuuji just ignored him. The teacher came by his seat, and Yuuji reached his hand in the hat while looking away and grabbed a slip of folded paper. When he unfolded it, it had a red marking on it.

"Ugh," Yuuji complained. 

"What, did you really get it?" Sukuna asked. "HAHAHA," he laughed. "Sucks to be you!"

Yuuji got annoyed. It wasn't even that he hated being on cleaning duty, he just got annoyed that Sukuna used that as leverage to mock him.

The teacher went around to a few more students. And then when one particular person reached down, grabbed a paper, and folded it, they had gotten a paper with a red marking.

It was Megumi. Megumi was selected for cleaning duty as well. 

When Sukuna looked over at Megumi's paper, he called out to Yuuji. "Hey Yuuji, switch with me! I'll do it instead. You don't even want to do cleaning duty anyway!" 

"I never said that! And I'm not switching with you!" He refused.

"You just want to do it so you can have Megumi all to yourself." Sukuna said. Before Yuuji had a chance to object Sukuna turned to the teacher. "If I volunteer, can I do it instead of him?" He asked.

But this time the teacher refused. "Sukuna, you're the one who said that if you were class rep, you shouldn't have to do cleaning duty. You'll have enough responsibilities as it is. Besides it's just cleaning, so Megumi and Yuuji can be in charge of that." He walked back to his desk at the front.

"Shitty ass teacher," Sukuna muttered under his breath. 

Megumi turned his head to the side, and Megumi and Yuuji shared a glance and locked eyes. But Megumi quickly turned away. 

Well, it's just cleaning duty. It's not like anything special will happen, Yuuji thought.

It was after school. Yuuji was walking down the hallway. As he was walking, he saw a student put up a poster near the wall. It read 

Autumn Formal  🍁

Get your tickets now! 

Yuuji liked dancing, but he wasn't big on slow dancing so he passed on it. Besides, he didn't have anyone to go with.

Then he made his way to his locker and opened it. He was getting his stuff so he could go to a friends house and help them with homework, when Sukuna ran up to him.

"Yuuji, switch with me." Sukuna ordered. "I'll do cleaning duty instead. You're just going to bore Megumi when you're together, so switch with me."

Yuuji closed his locker door. "It's sad that you have to complain to me because the teacher won't act like your personal lap dog and do want you want. I'm not switching with you." He refused. 

"So you like Megumi that much eh? I never knew you could be so forceful." Sukuna leaned against the locker.

"It's not about that-"

But Sukuna grabbed the collar of his shirt. He said quietly, "I'll get someone to leak all your personal information, including all your passwords, accounts and social security number all over the internet if you don't switch with me."

Yuuji grabbed his wrist. "Why are you willing to leak my info over something like cleaning duty? Have you gone mad?" 

Sukuna smirked. "Then fine, I won't leak anything. I'll just beat you up so you can't go to school tomorrow." He was about to throw a punch to Yuuji's face. Yuuji closed his eyes.

And then Megumi yelled, "STOP!" from across the hallway. He yelled so loud that people looked over at him. Sukuna let go of Yuuji, and Megumi walked over to them.

"You're so fucking pathetic, bullying your own brother." He scolded Sukuna. Then he turned to Yuuji. "Is it because of cleaning duty?" He asked.

"Yeah," Yuuji responded. Megumi shook his head. "Unbelievable. I knew you were an idiot but I didn't think you were this stupid."

But Sukuna just smirked, finding Megumi's anger cute. "You're a fiesty one aren't you babe?" He tried putting an arm around Megumi but Megumi just slapped his arm away. 

Sukuna put his hands up in surrender. "Fine, I won't bully him." He said. "But only for you." He winked at Megumi. And then he walked away.

Yuuji sighed, glad that it ended without him and Sukuna getting into a fist fight.

"Are you okay?" Megumi asked him.

"Yeah," responded. "You helped me out. Thank you Megumi." He smiled, a bright, radiant smile of appreciation.

Megumi turned a little pink. Yuuji was cute when he smiled. "Um, yeah," Megumi said. "Glad I could help. I'll see you around," Megumi stammered awkwardly as he walked away. 

Yuuji was still smiling. Megumi was pretty, but he was even prettier up close. Even though he didn't choose to do cleaning duty so he could be with Megumi, he was glad that Megumi was going to be his partner.

And when Megumi was walking away he said to himself, "Sukuna may have a shitty personality but at least his brother's cute."
