Desert Rose Chapter 36: Bad Girl Hour (Patreon)

“Hehe, how much you want to bet he’s going to piss himself.”

“Why would you say that?”

“That is not the goal.”

“Shh Shh be quiet be quiet…”

Sukuna slowly opened Megumi’s door, everyone behind him with balloons and party whistles at the ready. You were holding the plate of breakfast that you made in honor of the birthday boy.

Megumi was still sound asleep. Luckily Gojo’s loud whispering didn’t wake the target.

Tiptoeing inside there were excited shuffles as you all got in position. Megumi must have felt your presence because he rolled over restlessly, opening his eyes-

“SURPRISE!”

“Ah-“

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGUMI!”

*AIRHORN*

*POP*

*CONFETTI*

“-Ngh” Megumi fell out on his bed, alarming everyone into frozen shock.

Nobara gasped, “Did he just pass out?”

“CLOSE ENOUGH PAY UP SUGURU!”

“I mean I know he said he hated surprises but doesn’t everyone say that?”

“Is he okay?”

Shoko checked his pulse and listened to his heart. “He’s breathing!”

Toji yawned sleepily leaning on the door while scratching his foot with his other foot. “Yeah he’s fine he does this all the time.”

“What do you mean?”

Toji clicked his tongue as he put a hand to his chin, and then his eyes lit up as if he just remembered important information. “Ooooh, yeah…that’s right… we had to stop throwing surprises for Megumi because… well of this hehe...” The man chuckled but stopped laughing seeing a few glares sent his way.

“What… do I have something on my face?”

“See I’m not the only himbo…” Gojo whispered.

“Hm.” Everyone nodded in agreement.

“What’s a himbo?”

“…”

~

“Sorry, Megumi.” You sighed lying your cheek to his back, your arms around his waist. This was the third apology you gave him this morning.

Everyone had apologized when he regained consciousness… well everyone apologized in their own ways most of them blaming his dad for this. He wasn’t upset though, he knew you all did it in good spirits.

“It’s fine, I promise.” When he stopped at a crosswalk he looked over his shoulder to give you a more stern look. “I promise. The breakfast was good too, thank you.”

You were wearing his white hoodie, black beanie, and a mask to cover yourself up. Your eyes the only thing he could really see. The sides of them crinkled a bit. He could almost envision the cute smile you were giving him as you asked for clarity. “You liked?”

“Yeah, you did a good job.”

“Good teacher.” You pointed at him making him chuckle a bit.

He did teach you a lot about cooking, but you were quite determined. He could feel the love you put into the food. He even heard you made sure to pick out the best-looking fruit for his plate. You even offered to feed him and your assistance in any way you could while he got ready to leave. You were such a sweetheart.

Once the cars stopped and the light changed, he pushed off the ground and continued biking to his destination. He slowed to a stop when he spotted the black-haired male who was leaning against a tree in the park smoking a cigarette. He was wearing a blue and striped business suit.

Way to stick out.

“Took you much longer but I guess I can see why.” Norotoshi spoke watching Megumi get off his bike.

You held it steady while he took the backpack from you. “If you didn’t want to meet at the park like a creep I could have brought it to your house.”

“My parents can’t know I’m taking this shit.”

Megumi snorted while exchanging goods. Little did he know his parents took this stuff too. They were just much more secretive and better at hiding it.

“Who’s that?”

Megumi already knew he was questioning you. “My friend.”

“She pretty?”

“Pleasure doing business with you.” Megumi walked back to you handing you his backpack when Norotoshi snorted.

“Smart to have your friend carry the backpack.”

Megumi froze mid-pass. He turned his head to ask what does that mean but as he watched the black-haired man stomp out his cigarette and walk away, he had already figured out what he meant. If he got caught you would get in trouble since you were holding the backpack… or even if he said it was his you would be guilty by association. Despite the strings they had in the city he didn’t want to take a chance on a one-off cop who wasn’t part of their ties.

“Megs?” You questioned grabbing the backpack, but he took it away pulling it on himself instead.

“You wanna get some ice cream?”

~

The two of you sat in the ice cream cone-shaped chair eating ice cream together. Megumi had texted anyone who needed a delivery that it was his birthday and he was taking the day off. He was starting to feel like his ‘take rose to work day’ wasn’t very wholesome.

His work sucked. He sells drugs. He didn’t want to bring you along for that. He looked at his phone with a frown. Hana had messaged him.

Hana: Please talk to me Megumi. I'm sorry.

She had been trying to talk to him ever since Gojo's birthday. He didn't want to hear it though. Didn't want her to try to sweet talk and cry her way out of this one. She was with the others when they cornered you in the bathroom. He didn't care what her part was, it was the fact that she was a part of it.

“Megs okay?” You questioned poking his cheek.

“Yeah… sorry..." he put his phone down to dig in his ice cream.

"Why sorry?"

"Well...I brought you with me… this isn’t that fun huh?”

You shook your head with a grin, “Love being with Megumi. Anywhere fun.”

Megumi could not help the way his lips tugged. You were too sweet for your own good. “Thanks, Rose.”

His phone began to buzz. Picking it up he looked at the caller ID.

“It’s Sukuna…Hello?” He answered leaning the phone on his shoulder, close enough to you so you could lean in and listen.

“The fuck you doing getting ice cream?”

Megumi’s eyes widen a bit. Both of you began to look around expecting to see the tattoo man but didn’t see anyone. The place was dead. Who gets ice cream in December?

“How did you know?”

“Why aren’t you delivering?”

“It’s my birthday, thought I’d take the day off. Are we going to talk about how you know where we are?”

“You two should come here.”

“Are you just going to ignore me?”

“Throw that shit out and get over here.”

“No.”

“I turned your location on.”

“What- how do you know my password?”

“See you soon.”

“Bastard-“ Megumi rolled his eyes as Sukuna hung up. He landed his gaze on you as you giggled softly.

“So needy.”

“Yeah, that's our man I guess. Do you want to go to the gym?”

“Sure!”

~

Surprisingly there weren’t that many people at the gym in the afternoon. The two of you were lucky enough to miss the morning rush. After locking his bike into place he grabbed your hand and walked inside. You weren’t as nervous anymore, which was a nice change. These outings must be helping a lot.

“Membership- oh hey Megumi.” Junpei greeted.

“Junpei? You work here now?”

The boy smiled sheepishly, “Well, I wanted to be able to work out…but it’s been tough.”

“Tell me about it.” Megumi sighed. The two boys understood the struggle, however, they were working out for two different things. Junpei wanted to defend himself even though Yuuji fucked up all of his bullies.

Megumi’s reasoning… was not as noble. He looked down at his reasoning who stepped up to the counter and waved at the other male. Or maybe it could be. He wanted to protect you in truth. Protect that light from ever being wiped away again... as well as being able to pick you up.

“Hello.” You waved at Junpei with a cheery tone. You must have recognized his name, Yuuji speaks about the boy a lot.

“Hi, it’s a pleasure to meet you. You must be Rose.”

It seems Yuuji talks about you a lot too.

You nodded your head, “Thank you for umm...” You looked at Megumi for some help.

“The medicine.”

“Yes!”

“Oh, I’m happy it worked for you.”

“Helped with tattoo, see?” You lifted your sweater to show your faded marks and healed tattoo.

“Oh that’s beautiful-“

“Megumi, Rose!” The conversation was halted by Sukuna who waved the two of you into his office.

“Bye~” You bowed before the man while Megumi walked a little ahead of you.

As he got to Sukuna he grabbed him by his shirt and growled in his ear. “You let her lift her sweater like that?”

“Ack- she was comfortable enough to-“

“Sukuna~.” You greeted him as he let Megumi go.

“Hey, pretty girl.” He scooped you up in his arms with a big kiss to your forehead. Setting you upon your feet he cupped your cheek, his tone playful but slightly serious. “…Whacha doin' showing off what’s mine?” He tugged your sweater to emphasize what he was talking about.

You blinked swiftly, “…Tattoo?”

“No, not even that.”

You pulled down your mask just so you could show him your pout, making him chuckle. “Put that lip away. I got work for the two of you.”

“Work?” Megumi questioned.

“Oh yeah, you guys are working out.” Going into his office he picked up a clipboard with all the exercises the two of you were going to do.

“I thought we were just swinging by!”

“You can do both.” Sukuna walked passed the two of you with clipboard in hand. “I got about a couple of minutes before my guy gets here. I’ll get you started.”

Megumi internally groaned. Sukuna was only doing this so he could keep the two of you here. He saw right through his stupid list of chores.

~

You and Megumi were going to die. Not even the first machine did Sukuna go easy on you two.

“One more! Come on give me one more!”

Why was his wording so damn sexual?

Megumi huffed as he leaned back with his arms on his knees, his feet propped up on the black platform. He looked over to see Sukuna leaning over your body, his crotch to your ass as you pushed your leg back with a huff. His positioning was quite- sexual. His workouts were always like this. That’s how he ended up in his office half the time.

“You done?” Sukuna questioned him as he stepped over your legs. He smacked your ass before coming over to Megumi.

“Yeah~ I did ten.” (If he were Pinocchio his nose would have grown… that was a lie).

“Do one more set. You should feel it in here.” Sukuna grabbed his thigh, nodding his head for him to continue.

Megumi blushed as he began to push on the weight, Sukuna’s grip distracting. “Are you this touchy with everyone you train?”

“Naw, just my two favorites.” He winked.

“Sukuna your client is here!” Junpei called.

Sukuna pulled his hand back as he looked toward who had just walked around the corner.

“Aye Sukuna!”

Sukuna grinned, “Ino, you ready?”

“Hell yeah~.” The two clapped hands and then did a bro bump.

“Finish everything on the list.” Sukuna called over his shoulder.

"Whaaat~ Megumi is working out?"

"Yeah, he wants to pick up chicks."

Megumi rolled his eyes as the two walked away chuckling.

“Uff-“ you made a noise catching his attention.

Looking over he saw you panting. “Hard.”

“Yeah… you think our trainer is a little handsy or is that just me?”

You let out a little snort, “Yes, hentai trainer.”

“I should file a complaint.”

The two of you chuckled as you got up fanning yourself, “Hot.”

Megumi hummed, looking around. The gym was now empty except for Sukuna and Ino. “Do you want some gym clothes? We can put it on Sukuna’s tab… but only if you are comfortable.”

“Yes…very hot.”

Getting off the machines the two of you got new clothes and to his utmost surprise, you picked the pink sports bra and matching leggings. Megumi gulped as he watched you go change.

‘It can’t be that bad…’

Then you walked out.

‘OH SWEEET GRACIOUS!’

“Um… okay?” You questioned looking down at yourself.

You were no longer wearing his baggy clothes and beanie. You looked so cute and sexy in your workout clothes.

“Yup.” Megumi squeaked.

You smile grabbing his hand, “Help?”

“Help-? Yeah, I can help what do you need help with?” He felt his tongue heavy as he babbled. Whatever you wanted he’d give it to you.

You giggled leading him to the mats. You then lay on the ground and lifted your leg, “Help… um (Stretch).” He didn’t know what you said but he got the memo.

Kneeling before you he grabbed your leg and began to push.

You breathed deeply, enjoying the stretch, while Megumi tried to stare respectfully. His hands holding your calf like it was porcelain glass.

“Hm~” you hummed switching legs.

He touched you just as delicately, watching you take deep breaths. Then you looked at him.

“Here…” You grabbed his hand and dragged it closer to your thigh making him gulp. “More.”

“O-okay…” Now he was blushing. He quickly looked away but that’s when he caught Sukuna’s gaze. Oh shit, he forgot he was in the gym.

The look Sukuna was giving you two was as exhilarating as it was scary. He had his arms crossed as he watched, smoldering gaze locked on. Why was he looking over here? He should have been watching Ino who was busy doing bench presses!

He felt you shift out of his hold. Looking down you had both legs spread open. He nearly died while he pressed your thighs open-

“ACK! SUKUNA HELP!”

The two of you looked over to see Ino struggling with the bar about to suffocate him, Sukuna panicking as he growled ripping it up and off him.

“WHAT THE HELL MAN?”

“-Tch I thought you had it.” Sukuna tried to play it off cool but you both could see how red he was getting.

You began to giggle as Ino and Sukuna went back and forth yelling at each other.

Megumi looked at you, surprised by your cute evil laughter, “Rose? Are you being bad?”

You feign a hurt gasp, “Me?”

“Suguru was right… you are a naughty girl…"

"Sorry..." You pouted.

"You wanna fuck with him some more?”

The slow smile that graced your face was more than enough for an answer. “Workout?”

“Yeah, we can call it that.”

~

Sukuna was fuming. He couldn’t wait for Ino to be done. You and Megumi have been teasing him his entire session. Making small gasps and doing provocative actions while ‘working out’. He really lost it when Megumi was bench-pressing (with no fucking weights) with you on top of him. What? The boy couldn't even pretend to work out!? It was like he was watching a bad porno!

“Alright, we’re done here.”

Ino looked confused, “I got like ten minutes left?”

“We went pretty hard today you need the extra rest.” Sukuna tried to keep his composure as his eyes wandered behind Ino to you bending over in that sexy get-up, breasts squished together for his view.

“Need some help?” Megumi asked grabbing your hips from behind and snapping you back against him.

“Oh~ please Megumi~.”

Sukuna’s jaw ticked. Fucking naughty little assholes.

Ino groaned as he rolled his shoulder, “Dude you okay?”

“Yeah, yeah...I got shit to do.” Sukuna glared at Ino, hoping he'd get the memo and get the hell out so he could handle the two of you.

“Geeze, who got your balls twisted?”

You and fucking Megumi.

Just as that thought passed by he heard, “You feel it Rose? You should feel it right here in your thighs!”

“Oh~! yes~.”

“I’ll walk you out.” Sukuna growled.

As he was walking Ino out the man was talking to him but he wasn’t listening. When he got to the counter he leaned over it, “Junpei the gym is closed go home.”

“Oh? Okay, did something happen?”

“Nope. Just gotta handle some business.”

He walked both of the last two occupants out of the gym just as Todo was walking up with his gym bag in hand.

“Hey Sukuna-“

“WE’RE CLOSE!”

~

You and Megumi were giggling when you saw Sukuna disappear with Ino.

Megumi's laughter died down as he looked at the clock,“Shit- We got like ten more minutes until his time is up, we should ditch this place and go home before then.”

"Yes, Sukuna very mad!" You nodded your head getting up as the two of you headed out.

"Did you see how red his face was?"

"Hehe~ Yes tomato!"

You guys laughed but stopped when you saw Sukuna leaning against the front counter.

“What's so funny?” He questioned while slowly wrapping a jump rope around his hand.

"N-Nothing..."

"What? I like to laugh. Rose, tell me the joke."

You chuckled nervously, "N-Not funny."

Sukuna clicked his tongue, "Shame...such a shame."

Megumi gulped looking at the rope and then Sukuna, “Uh… where’s… where’s Ino?”

Sukuna grinned, “I let him go home early.” He tightened the rope around his hand making it snap.

You squeaked hiding behind Megumi.

“J-Junpei?”You questioned.

“Gone, baby girl.”

“…”

“Who’s idea was it?” He looked between the two of you, none of you uttering a word.

"Don't make me repeat myself."

“W-what idea? W-we were just working out! Right, Rose?”

“Mhm! Working out! So strong!”

“…See! We did everything on your list!"

“Working out huh?” Sukuna nodded along with you. “Cute… you got five seconds.”

“Wait-“

“One.”

“Sukuna!”

“Two!”

“Please-“

“Three!”

“IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!”

“FOUR!”

“EEK!” You sprinted away screaming as did Megumi. The two of you really poked the bull this time.

“Five…!"

"HAVE MERCY!"

~

Todo and Junpei looked confused as they heard screams and diabolical laughter echoing from outside the gym.

“Should we help them?”

“Nah it’s fine, wanna go find Yuuji?”

“Did you just ask me if I wanted to hang out with the best person ever to grace this planet next to Tada-chan?!”

"I...did not say all of that-"

"ABSOLUTELY!"
