On the one hand, I don't believe Megumi and Gojo were ever too close, even if their apparent closeness called my attention since their first scene together because of the way they behaved and talked to each other.

On the other hand, Megumi was a fifteen years old with a lot of problems, a pretty bad childhood and a bit of an attitude to say the least, and Gojo, besides Tsumiki, was the "paternal" figure he could turn against

#In his 'you're nothing of mine!' phase is what I'm saying haha #I mean he sort of did that with Tsumiki already and then regretted it when it was too late #I know he doesn't speak to Gojo using the language structure that showcases closeness #But I find it so clear in their dynamic despite how little it is developed. How Megumi comments about slapping him on the very first chapte #Gojo taking pictures of Megumi because he look terribly worn down. Gojo and Megumi knowing each other‚ truly‚#their personalities and how they deal with stuff‚ before Megumi truly begun his studies in Jujutsu High at the very beginning #Megumi making that comment about how Ijichi is useless to make him leave as Gojo did #How they train together. How Megumi asked. How Gojo knows Megumi doesn't like asking him. How Gojo knows Megumi's mind #and what happens behind his decision making and how that's linked to his personality and way of seeing life #How he warns him and advices him in that very context. How that saves his life #but how also that is kinda in a way what Gojo does at the very end. The letter. The laughter. Megumi's soft smile alongside Shoko #It's not much. They didn't have a super close bond and it wasn't a dynamic the writer developed much at all #not even the 'not close' aspect of it #But yet it's there nonetheless. The clues that they knew each other first and knew each other for years and thus *knew* each other #And the fondness #So yeah I don't think they had the closest bond at all but also Megumi enhancing that they don't talking to Gojo in a distant way #because he's going through that 'you're nothing of mine/you're not my dad!' phase and thus ironically demonstrating they are indeed close #is such a funny idea to me and the fact it's sort of canon-compliant #(given his personality the traces of their closeness and the Tsumiki situation) makes it all the more hilarious xD #They're everything to me and could have been even more had they been developed a bit more. Even if just in their nothingness #But wow is their relationship juicy and interesting #I talk too much #I should probably delete this later #Ignore the typos I'm feeling lazy
