sukuna doesn’t know how to give gifts ♡︎
(part of my trueform!sukuna x his favourite chubby concubine series. more here)
sukuna didn’t do romance, or love, or anything involving emotions, for that matter.
at least that’s what he told himself — constantly denying the fact you drive him crazy.
another thing he didn’t do? gift giving. he thought it was pathetic. no soul on earth was worthy of being given a gift by the king of curses.
apart from you, of course.
his first attempt at giving you a gift was the worst. you remember it vividly, the way he walked into the room casually, like he wasn’t holding a whole human head in one of his overly large hands.
you gasped sharply, covering your mouth with your hand at the sight. "kuna… is that—"
he plopped it right down in front of you, a proud, smug grin on his face like he’d cracked the code of gift giving. “well, woman?" he said, expecting some sort of thank you.
for once, you were completely lost for words.
sukuna’s second attempt at giving you a gift was slightly better, yet not quite… there yet.
after coming back from an errand, he returned to the palace, two arms crossed over his chest as he watched you read quietly in bed. you looked up at him, smiling sweetly, "welcome back."
he hummed, padding closer, reaching into his pocket. he pulled out a dead rose, withered and rotting, crispy petals falling into the floor.
he handed it to you, avoiding direct eye contact for once, one hand scratching the nape of his neck.
it wasn’t perfect, to say the least — but he was trying. that alone, made you happy.
you gently took the rose from his hand, examining it. "a dead rose?…" you asked, looking to sukuna who was watching your reaction like a hawk. "it reminded me of you."
"i remind you of a dead flower?…" you responded, clearing your throat.
he knew he had failed miserably again by your reaction — blood suddenly boiling as he realised how terrible he was at this whole thing.
“i’ll cherish it forever,” you smiled desperately trying to show your appreciation before sukuna goes into one of his moods.
a few days later, sukuna finds you outside, perched in the gardens watching the sun set.
if he failed one more attempt, someone was losing a limb.
he stands in front of you, massive frame blocking your view as he extends his hand, passing you some kind of shiny rock — glimmering under the dim light, small flecks of quartz peeking through.
you take it from him, holding it in your palm and admiring it. when he’d found it, it instantly reminded him of your eyes — shiny and hopeful. stupid. sentimental. completely beneath him.
your fingers trace the surface, “a… stone?”
“it is not just a stone, woman,” he growls, the tips of ears burning faintly, “it has… qualities. it shines. you like shiny, useless things. do not make me explain it further.”
you giggle, standing up, pressing your free hand to his chest. “how thoughtful. i love it, kuna."
he scoffs, though pleased he’d finally found something you somewhat like. “you are easily pleased,” he grumbles, two hands settling possessively on your soft hips.
"most would beg for gold, or a severed head of their enemy… yet you smile at a rock," he adds, yet again, utterly confused by humans and their obscure interests.
"i like it because it’s from you," you say softly, looking up at him with those big, hopeful eyes.
"tch…" he scoffs, pretending like he didn’t enjoy your answer.
