Sometimes when you work on a project, there are moments whe
I'll be so for real with you guys, I'm not sure if I'll ever be continuing these fics. They hold a really special place in my heart, but I really can't say. However, I encourage you to make your own ending in your head!

Getting cumdrunk on the king of curses and slapping him for more. content . afab!reader, breeding kink, trueform!sukuna, milking him dry, reader is feral, established relationship, slapping, slight use of his stomach mouth, breath play, biting, neediness, pet names, double pen, rough sex, nervous dom!reader, choking, he eventually submits to you, sukuna's a masochist, he whines & denies it every time, etc.
"More," You'd huffed, elated on your past few highs and desperately bouncing up and down one of your monstrous husbandโs cocksโthe other flaccid and left to rub in between the curve of your ass.
"There is no more, you insolent woman." Sukuna puffed right back, splayed out absolutely ruined beneath you. His gaze was as vexing as it were loving on you, having felt dazed by just how craving you seemed to be today. "You've already milked the both of my cocks dry. What 'more' do you desire from me?"
Technically, he wasnโt wrong.
Not in the slightest. Thereโs a goopy slather of cum sloshing in between where the two of you are currently connected, a slick white puddle created around the base of his thick cock, and his balls feel weak from how much youโve drained them thus far.
Even so, your hips rock forward and the grasp he has on them gets tighter as you pout, "Wanna' give you an heir, 'Kuna."
Sukunaโs eyes roll elsewhere as you say that, a vein painting itself out across his jawline, "Don't tell me that."
"But I do," You whine immediately. His claw-like nails grind into your skin and he sucks in a sharp breath of air as you squeeze around his cock in needy moderation.
Looking down, Sukunaโs eyes soften ever so slightly at the filthy mess of semen pooling the outskirts of your puffy pussy lips. "I'm sure you will be pregnant after this-"
"S'Not enough," You gasp, lifting your frame up a few inches and forcing him to watch his own cum string between your skin and his.
He then grits teeth and shoots his eyes up to yours, "What has gotten into you, hm?"
"I dunno," You manage a smile, "I just want more. Won't you give me more, my lord?" Just as you purr those words out, your body is arching forward and the hands he had mindlessly toying with your nipples halt for a moment.
He groans deeply then. "More cannot even fit in here," Then all four of his hands travel to your waist to squeeze you, one slipping down just to swipe up a dribble of his seed, "It's already dripping out."
"So put more in." You manage to push down past his hold on you and your mouth soon latches onto his neck, sucking at his skin desperately while you lightly roll your hips forward, "Please?"
"I cannot-, ah." A short sound, one of which nearly misses your earsโseems to fall from his lips all lightly and delicately. "Did you just bite me, wife?"
Your teeth sink into the side of his neck a little harder and the cock you have stuffed inside you hardens back up immediately.
Then your tongue laps over the area you just bit him in and you pull back a little, "Mhm," You hum, rocking your hips forward again just for his hands to clasp onto you tighterโnails digging into your skin. "And did you just whine, 'Kuna?"
"I did no such thing." He denies.
"You did." You argue as your tongue slicks down along his neck before you begin kissing at his tensing skin, "You liked that, didn't you?"
"Perhaps," Sukuna mutters honestly.
How could he possibly lie to his precious wife when youโre like this?
Right then, you maneuver all the way upright and as he looks up, heโs reminded of why he married you in the first place. Youโre a beautiful mess of his touchesโimprints of his nails strung out across all areas of your body, skin slick in areas where heโd licked earlier, and marks of biting left in the most obscene of places.
As if to surprise him further and give him yet another reason to experience love in his heart for you, your hand greets his neck and you use whatever strength you have in you to force him further down against the silks below.
"Mmgh-, choking me now?" Sukuna husks, cock jolting inside you with a nasty twitch, his eyes going wide, and breath threatening to stutter in his lungs. Then he smiles wickedly, "Come now, wife. If you want more from me like you so claim, squeeze harder."
And squeeze harder you do, earning a sharp buck of his hips that even Sukuna himself wasn't expecting. His eyes flutter back a little and he grunts, sharp teeth flaring for a moment with the way his mouth opens all beast-like.
You can feel how erratically his dick is twitching inside you, aching to fuck something all the more sinful into you. All whilst his second cock is felt throbbing in between your asscheeks, silently pleading to enter you once more.
Youโd already spent the past however many hours switching back โn forth between both of his lengths, draining each for all their worth, and even stuffing both into that greedy cunt of yours just to suck an impossible amount of his cum into you.
Sukunaโs massive body shifts a bit, as if to escape you for a moment so he can catch his breath, but your grip on his throat gets tighter and his brows furrow.
Noticing his attempt at escaping you, your head tilts and you scoff, โGive me an heir if you wish to breathe.โ
The irony of your wordsโas if he hadnโt already stuffed you to the brim with his seed alreadyโis almost enough to make him laugh.
โO-Oh,โ Sukuna stammers for the first timeโpossibly in his lifeโhis eyes fluttering further back into his skull as he finds himself so fully in awe of you. โFuuck,โ The curse flies out his throat as if pained but a big smile sprawls out across his kiss-swollen lips. โTake.. hahhโฆ take the heir from me, wife. Fuck one out of me.โ
Those magic words seem to do it for you as your hips return with momentum, rocking โn bouncing on his cock within the next few seconds as he relishes in the feel of you using him.
โMnh! Sukuna,โ Youโre moaning again, the sound a sweet melody to his ears as his smile remains up until you add a pretty, โYou feel sโgood inside me.โ
โDo not praise me, woman.โ Sukunaโs brows scrunch up again and he groans. โI am still your kingโโ The last word hardly falls from his tongue before heโs met with a sharp pain flying across his cheek, the feeling earning a feral thrust of his hips up into yours.
His brain sputters for a moment as he processes what the hell you just did. Never in all his years has a human ever had the audacity to hit him in such a way.
And fuck if it doesnโt drive him absolutely insane.
His head is slow to turn as he blinks, โโฆDid you just slap me?โ
Youโre visibly nervous, holding your hand near yourself as you gulp, โI-Iโm sorry, I just..โ
His hands lock onto your body to keep you in place and you merely blink once or twice before heโs moving. One of his other hands move down and heโs glaring at you whilst steadily adjusting his secondโnow fully erectโcock into you. The stretch of both his dicks inside you again has your body spasming forward as you shudder in pleasure.
Then his face twists upโcheeks pink with blushโand his jaw falls open to display his shock from prior as he huffs, โAgain, wife. Hnngh-, please slap me again.โ
Your head shakes, โSukuna, I cannotโโ
โI command it.โ Your husband grits out all brat-like.
You hit him again, a little harder than the first time, and thereโs yet another thiiiiick load of cum gushing out of his sweltering cockheads into your pussy. The sudden burst has his seed spurting out everywhere from where youโre stuffedโsplashing up against his abdomen and leaking all down his twitching balls.
You finally feel as though that was enough to breed you like youโd wanted and Sukunaโs half lucid with how much heโd just emptied into you.
With a pleased grin on your face, you soon look down and let your brows shoot up in surprise as you catch the way his stomach mouth laps at a bit of his cum.
โSukuna,โ You snicker, โAre you tasting yourself?โ
His eyes are shut now but he manages to frown, โSilence from you, woman.โ
Your smile widens, โDoes it taste good?โ
โKeep-, hahโฆ Keep talking and Iโll make you lick this entire mess clean.โ
"i don't lower myself to that human filth," he sneers, four crimson eyes glaring down at you sprawled on his silk futon like you're the one who suggested it. "tongues are for commands and curses, not for lapping at some mortal cunt like a starved dog."
you just blink up at him, thighs casually parted, already wet from the way he'd been manhandling you earlierโfour massive hands pinning, groping, bruising you. "okay," you say sweetly. "no problem. we can skip it."
his upper lip curls. stomach mouth twitches like it's offended on his behalf. "what?"
"if you hate it so much," you shrug, fingers trailing lazily down your own stomach, teasing just above your clit, "we won't do it my lord."
the room goes dead silent except for the faint crackle of the oil lamps. sukuna's tattoos seem to pulse darker. "insolent wench," he growls, but his voice cracks just the tiniest bit. "you think i care? i could snap you in half and find better entertainment."
"cool. go find it then." you close your thighs deliberately.
he freezes. all four eyes widen fractionally. his stomach mouth lets out a low, involuntary rumbleโlike a growl mixed with a whine.
you bite back a laugh. "what's wrong, my lord? stomach feeling empty?"
"silence." he lungesโtwo upper hands slamming your wrists above your head, lower ones prying your thighs apart so wide your hips ache. his face hovers inches from yours, fangs glinting. "you dare taunt me?"
"me? never." you tilt your head innocently. "you're the one who hates it."
he snarls leaning down. hot breath ghosts over your neck. "i'll show you hate."
then he drops.
dives between your legs like a man on a mission he swears he despises. his tongue drags a rough stripe up your slit, slow at first, like he's testing poison. then faster. hungrier.
"fuckโdisgusting," he mutters against you, voice muffled, vibrating straight to your core. "tastes like weakness. like desperation."
but he doesn't stop. if anything, he buries deeperโnose pressed to your clit, tongue fucking inside like he's trying to carve you out from the inside.
you moan loud and his whole body jolts. one of his cocks twitches against your thigh. the lower one throbs visibly.
"see?" you gasp, fingers tangling in his pink hair. "you hate it so much you're rock hard."
"shut up." he growls, but it's wrecked. he sucks your clit hard, pulling a cry from you that echoes off the walls.
he's a mess. spit everywhere. cheeks flushed under the tattoos. eyes half-lidded, pupils blown. he groans into your pussy like it's the best meal he's had in centuriesโand maybe it is.
"iโhateโthisโ" he pants between licks, but his hips are grinding uselessly against the futon, chasing friction. "hate how youโdrip for meโhate how you clenchโfuckโ"
you cum hard...thighs shaking, back arching, screaming his name. he doesn't pull away. laps it all up like he's starved, stomach mouth humming in approval while the main one keeps going, overstimulating until you're shoving at his head.
he finally liftsโlips shiny, his four eyes dazed and furious. "that... was nothing," he rasps, voice hoarse. "just proving a point."
you laugh breathlessly. "point proven. you hate it."
he glares. wipes his mouth with the back of one hand. "get on your knees," he orders, but his voice cracks again. "since you made me do shit i dont like, you'll make up for it by choking on both."
๐โ๏ธย 18+ mdni ยทย pussy so good, sukuna taps in (longer ver.)
Loving Yลซji comes with a package deal you don't necessarily know how to deal with. Granted, you've known and loved him first before this entire ordeal even happened โ it still is a matter of when and never an if, per se, when it comes to his special situation.
However, that doesn't truly stop either of you from being intimate around each other. Where Yลซji excels with his control against what's residing in him, it seems that the majority of that said will, if not everything, is thrown out the door the second you beg to be fucked.
And fucked real good. Or badly. Whichever way one wishes to put it.
Maybe that's partly on you, or him, or even both of your asses to blame. But, really? Can you blame yourself when Yลซji looks stupidly hot all the damn time? Stupidly,ย massively, hot and bothered?
Especially when he wears a simple white shirt where it accentuates how broad he isย everywhere, when he looks like his brain stops functioning and he's looking at you with only the thought of fucking you bone-dry, and his dick decides to run on autopilot and take him to a blissful place right between your thighs.
Yes, can you really blame anyone with how immaculate he is before you?
"So tight, baby," Yลซji says between clenched teeth.
A vein appears in the middle of his forehead, contemplating whether he should start moving and ram his cock all the way in or give you a chance to adjust to his girth first.
"Ah, Yลซji," you whine, "just go in. Stop teasing."
"T-Teasing? I'm not teasing, sweetheart." He manages to choke an incredulous and breathy laugh at your whining. "You think this is easy for me, too?"
You playfully slap his muscled arm. "Shut up! You know what I mean!"
"Damn, even after all that," Yลซji grits. "Even after all the sex we had every night, you're still tight."
With a shuddering exhale, Yลซji grinds forward, pressing himself deeper into your petaled hole until you whine and drag your nails up and down his back and coax him closer.
"Oh, yes, baby. Shit โyes, yes, โ yes," he incessantly babbles. "You're sucking me in completely. I could come right here โย ooohhhh,"
His lips head for yours and capture you in a heartbeat. Your nails drag to the front, then you lift his shirt to feel his toned stomach. A languid moan erupts from your throat, and Yลซji relishes swallowing your sounds.
His name echoes past your lips when he breaks contact; each drawl of the consonant is like a song of reverent praise that effectively shuts him up from keeping things slow.
"You're taking me so well." He whispers. "Such a good girl you are for me."
The smell of sex and sweat permeates around the room, despite the window being cracked open. When Yลซji leans down and noses his way around the hickeys he's given you littered across your body, you catch the whiff of his musky scent, and it sends you into a ripple of arousal โ because why is everything he is doing to you just so fucking hot?
Everything about Yลซji is too much for you. It's borderline unfair.
"Baby," you whine again, locking your legs around his waist.
"I know, I know." Yลซji moans at the feeling, even when he feels your teeth teasing the crook of his neck.
It's so intoxicating; it leaves his already fogged brain even more fogged that he has to fight through your horniness to keep a steady, level pace. Otherwise, you'd probably not be walking for days, probably even resort to crawling to get to point B.ย Hell, that doesn't sound bad at all.
"Oh, baby, please don't do that. You know I'm sensitive there." He lightly scolds you, pulling at your hair in warning.
"But you taste so good, though."
He supposes if he's going to fuck you the way he wants to, how long he intends to, and the way you let him, then he's not going to deny you what you want to do with him, too.
In fact, if he isn't so gung-ho with you and your immaculate pussy that's still sucking him in greedily as he continues to stretch you, and if he didn't let his dick dictate his decisions, he will most definitely relish the prospect of you dominating him.
Oh, Yลซji will submit. Maybe you doubt he would, given how he always wishes to be inside of you and tell you to do this or that for him. But honest to God, if you tell him to be on his hands and knees for you, he will get that shit done pronto. Put a collar on him or something โ he doesn't care. Everything screams sexy and a lot of sex for him. So, who is he to refuse that?
"Harder," you find yourself begging for him, "please. Yes โย yes,ย right there!"
Yลซji's arms that are propped against both of your sides buckle before he rebalances and takes most of his weight off of you. "Shh, Fushiguro might hear you. You don't want him to hear us, don't you?"
"Then he should cover his ears!" You rebuke teasingly. "He knows better. Isn't he the smartest? He should put his brain to work. Chop, chop, Megumi!"
"S-Stop! Don't make me laugh right now." Yลซji bites his lips. "I'm really horny, and I don't want to be un-horny because I'm thinking about other stuff that isn't you."
"Sorry, I'm sorry," You apologize, but it turns into a chuckle because you didn't think you'd be thinking about it, too.
"Relax for me," Yลซji attempts to bring the mood back, salvaging what's left from your silly antics. "That's it, baby. Ease into me again."
Yลซji's hold around your thighs changes until your legs rest upon his shoulders, and he pounds against you like an animal in heat. From your new position, his cock sinks further. Skin slaps against skin. While your breathing becomes coarse and ragged, Yลซji sounds the same except for minuscule groans of pleasure now and then.
Then, he folds you in half, situates himself a little higher, and pistons his cock back into you. You don't realize you are drooling until he licks the side of your face and kisses you.
"Open your mouth." He says, and when you do, he spits twice. "Swallow."
There's a trail of saliva connecting you two when he pulls back. His eyes are transfixed heavily upon the bulge that's appeared at the base of your stomach.
"Remind me to buy a mirror next time. I want you looking at yourself like this. It's so hot, I swear." Yลซji drools. "You're so good, baby. So,ย so, good. Oh โย fuck!"
Just when he spills inside of you, and you're about to come down with your first orgasm, another voice pierces through the solidity of the room and breaks your release easily as if he had done this countless times before.
"Enchain."
Suddenly the ceiling becomes the bed sheets as you are flipped onto your hands and knees. Your muffled confusion doesn't go unheard, but other pressing matters come first. Your hair has been forcibly fisted and yanked until your head is pulled back enough to see your lover covered in tattoos, and a vitriol laugh teases the shell of your ears.
"Yลซ โ?"
"Brat's not here,"ย Sukuna'sย voice rumbles deeply against your skin.
This is the first time he's everย gracedย you with his presence. You have heard stories of how Sukuna would frequently pop on Yลซji's cheek or his hands whenever he's got something atrocious to say (especially towards your sensei and Megumi), but not once has he ever manifested and broken through Yลซji like this before โ and right in the middle of fucking, too.
"Heh," he yanks you closer, forcing you to look at his hungry eyes. They look at you as ifย youย owe him pleasure after refusing him for so long. "My vessel lost control. I want to know why."
Before you could have swung a cursed tool at him, to trap him within your cursed energy, enough to stall and ask Megumi for help or anybody else should he decline, Sukuna slams your head against the pillow and fucks you senseless.
Is it to your imagination, or did Yลซji's cock grow bigger? For some reason, when Sukuna thrusts into your hole, it's fuller. He is far more brutal and ornery with his movements, too.
"Take it all like you are meant to do."
This is wrong. This is terribly, insanely wrong.ย Here you are in the mercy of the sadistic curse, cackling like the bastard that he is that he found somethingย to entice himself with, and yet . . . it's wrong to feel how good you're being fucked.
Sukuna nudges your legs with his knees to spread wider for him. His hands busy themselves by mockingly kneading your ass before slapping each cheek hard.
You yelp and bite the corner of the pillow hard. Unfortunately for you, Sukuna notices. He pulls you by the hair again, and tosses everything that would muffle your voice aside. There is a buzz of mischief you can feel swirling around his energy, but you can't decipher it all too well as he shoves you down to the mattress.
"Y-Yลซji โ"
"My name, brat โ"
"โY-Yลซji, Y-Yลซโ"
"โ I saidย myย name." He slaps your sloppily wet clit.
Your back arches unknowingly to the sensation, and before you think twice about it, your body yields and your mouth muddles the name, "S-Sukuna!"
"Good, little one." He mutters sadistically, inhaling the scent of pheromones pumping out from you.
His hands are everywhere that he can touch you, and even when he couldn't reach parts of your body, Sukuna merely bends you to his will and lets himself have you any way he pleases. Since the brat's been constantly denying him of you, it's only right that Sukuna gets to have fun with you now.
He fondles your breasts. He pinches your clit. Your thighs are scraped in a thin line of blood that brings him more arousal. Your asshole is gaping at each tense movement he makes out of you. His canines sink to the thin skin of your neck so deeply, he can taste your blood, fueling him into a messy plethora of moans and pleasure like he's drunk on his own aphrodisiac.
"Again." He orders.
"W-What?"
"My name.ย Only."
"Su-ku-na,"
"Louder. I won't tolerate what you refuse to give me. Say my name again, little one."
"Sukuna. Sukuna. Sukuna! Sukuna! Sukuna!"
"That's it.ย Keep calling my name as you come."
Your orgasm comes to you like a torrent โ harsh and unforgiving. Still, Sukuna doesn't stop fucking you even as you try your best to squirm away.
When youย barelyย manage to make him pull out of you, and you start crawling, he easily drags you back.
"Where do you think you're going, hm?" He lifts your ass and flicks your clit hard as punishment. "You do not run away from me, unless you want me to kill you."
"But, I need โ"
"No."
"Sukuna, please!" You push his body away from you once more, desperately trying to get out of his strong grip. But damn, because of his strength and that it's also Yลซji's body, and you know how sturdy he is, Sukuna doesn't budge. Not even a little. "Please, give me a moment."
"And what did I say?" He raises his brow questioningly.
He's fascinated by the way you react to him. When he lazily drawls his fingers around your inner thighs, you shake. When he lets his tongue graze the cup of your ass, you whine. And when he sniffs your cunt, and it smells promiscuously sour and preposterously sweaty, you sound like you're about to come again.
"N-Not there, not yet,"
"What did I say?" He challenges.
"I โ" you sound close to weeping.ย
He pulls your hair. "What. Did. I. Say?"
"No!" You wail, moving restlessly. "You said, no!"
"You're close. I can tell."
And you are โย were. You let yourself go with your orgasm. From your blurred vision, you can see the outline of Sukuna smirking at your writhing figure and how entranced he is by your submission. He taps your hips as if you have served him well, before you feel his hold around your body slackening.
There's an abrupt change between you and Sukuna. Once you've regained a better part of your vision and allow yourself to breathe better, you realize that it's because you've been flipped on your back and your legs are locked around his waist again.
"S-Sukuna?"
"No," Yลซji breathlessly says. He leans his face closer until his lips brush yours. "I-It's me, baby. It's me. I'm sorry. I-I lost control. Are you hurt?"
You shake your head with a smile. "N-No, I'm fine. I'm more than fine."
"Yeah?" Yลซji perks up. You feel his cock hardening by your entrance.
"Yeah, baby." You laugh dumbly. "That was . . . quite exhilarating."
Yลซji presses his forehead against yours. The heat is visible in his eyes, but it is nowhere near as intense as the other pair you were forced to look at before.
"That was hot," Yลซji admits. "Watching you . . . like that."
"It was," you breathe out.
There, beneath Yลซji's hollowed eyes, your gaze lingers towards the triumphant gleam squinting at you in reds and blacks. It tells you exactly what is going through Sukuna's mind: that he's nowhere near finished with you yet.
You swallow dryly.
"Are you tired?" Yลซji brushes your hair tenderly.
You shake your head. "I'll be fine."
"Let me fuck you next, then."
Yลซji grabs your hips and plunges into you. He folds you in half, telling you to wrap your legs around his neck, and then proceeds to pound you as he promised.
"Come for me this time." He begs you. He places his hands flat on your stomach, feeling the bulge he caused. "For me. Come for me."
"Yลซji โย fuckfuckfuck โย Yลซji!" Something uncontrollable breaks out from you, and you realize a second sooner that you've squirted all over him. Your juices drip from his bare chest and down to his untrimmed bush. "I'm sorry, I โ"
"Enchain."
"What the fuck, Sukuna!"
"Oh my God, Yลซji, come back! Give Yลซji back for the love of God!"
"Do that again. Squirt for me, little one." Sukuna growls.
"That was an accident. I โ I โ I didn't mean for that to happen." You admit, trying to regain proper breathing because, goddamn it, you won't be able to with this one in the front. "Just give me Yลซji back!"
"Let me bring it out of you then."
It's obvious to you now that both of them have their preferences in terms of fucking you. While Yลซji prefers that both of you are staring at one another and lose each other together in the art of fuckery, Sukuna does anything but.
He switches the position wherein he's lying down, and he angles you to his face. You grip the headboard for support before you realize Sukuna's hold on you is gentle yet strong. You aren't swaying, even when you feel him blow a warm bubble of air directly to your dripping mound.
Then, his hold tightens, and he buckles you down to his mouth and eats you out.
"Ah, Sukuna!" You squawk. You hear the wet squelches you make from his tongue.
"You're learning." He commends. The deep gravel of his voice vibrates past your pubic hairs and sends you a jolt of pleasure that goes straight to your spine.
And just as when you are once again teetering on the edge of another orgasm, he unexpectedly stops with a loud popping sound and watches your reaction.
You move, yet he keeps you at bay.
Of course, King of Curses be damned, when you're this high in being so aroused and utterly fucked by not one but two of them, the consequences of your actions are the least of your concerns. And not even someone who's feared by all is going to stop you.
You swat his hands that are holding you away and rock yourself against his mouth. Your hair hits his nose and grazes the top of his lips โ but you hardly care. If Yลซji doesn't care that you're growing your own little forest down there, surely Sukuna wouldn't either. And if he does, then that isn't your problem.
You're in a fit of moans, as you ride your pleasure away. With your palms braced against his pecs, you can feel the steady beat of his heart. It appears that Sukuna is granting youย powerย to do as you please, as both of you know he can so easily pluck it from you like a candy from a child.
"Open yourself wider for me." He speaks quietly.
Your fingers spread your labia open. He sniffs you loudly, then he seizes your pearl between his teeth, rolls it around torturously, and licks you hard. Instinctively, you buck your hips down on him.
Sukuna pulls a few strands of your pubic hair; it's painful, but it does the trick when you finally squirt all over his face.
Sukuna's control weakens again, and you realize Yลซji's coming back. You laugh deliriously, because any person would be wondering what on earth is happening. Never have you thought that both of them would โ
"Aw, baby," Yลซji coos. "You taste so good."
"Yลซji," you call out tiredly.
"Are you tired? We can stop, baby. It's okay."
"No, I wantย youย to fuck me. Please, baby? I wantย you."
"I've been trying to all night, but someone just keeps โ"
"Lift her, brat."
Your eyes widen when you see Sukuna smirking at you from Yลซji's left cheek.
"Shut up!" Yลซji slaps himself.
"She will love it. Lift her. Or I will."
Yลซji growls, but obeys nonetheless. He hasn't had his own share of fill with you yet, thanks to some bastard.
He hefts you up with your back pressed securely against his chest, his arms cage you so that even if you move, squirm, or wiggle your ass against his throbbing, veiny cock, Yลซji promises you within his hold that you will not be dropped.
"Fold her and raise her legs."
"Baby, I just want to ask if that's all right." He grinds himself to your ass.ย
"Yes! Fuck yes, Yลซji! Just do it! Hurry up and fuck me already before he comes again!"
Yลซji groans. He lifts both of your legs until his head is placed between them, and then his dick slides back into your entrance.
You become a sobbing mess for him.
"Did I ever tell you how glad I am that you're so flexible?" Yลซji kisses your collarbone. "You're so hot, being folded like this."
In and out. In and out does the motion go. Regardless of whether you're exhausted or not, Yลซji's stamina is unbecoming.
Your eyes roll back, your tongue lolls out, and all you can respond to Yลซji or Sukuna or even both at this point โ you don't care anymore who is fucking you โ are all the jumbled slurs of their names, of you begging, of you wanting more, andย more, and so much more.
"Enchain."
"Sukuna โ"
"Submit to me, little one. Submit."
"I submit. I submit! I submit!"
"Heh, let that shadow brat hear you against the walls. I bet he's enjoying hearing you right now, too. My vessel is pretty turned on by what's happening. Heโs not even complaining about the switch."
"Ah! Mpmh!ย Ah!"
"What is the matter? Where are your words?"
"Mmmh,"
"Oh? Are you enticed by the mere idea that somebody else, who is neither me nor your brat, is hearing you being fucked too good?"
"Nng โ mphm โ I โ"
Sukuna pinches your cheeks and angles you enough to look at him.
"Speak."
"Y-Yes! I love this!"
"Well done. Rub yourself. The brat won't stop talking my fucking ear out, so do it for him. But I intend to make you come before he takes control again."
You nod numbly.
"Do not stop until you have come, you have squirted, or you have fainted. I care little what comes first or if all comes together.โ
Sukuna licks the spot where he's marked you. "If you had been born in the era that I was, I would've taken you as my โ"
"I-I'm coming!" You pull hard at his pink hair for support.
"Then come, little one. Come as much as you want."
For the last time tonight, Sukuna's control wanes. However, before he returns to his realm, you swear you feel the ghost of his lips caressing the side of your face like a lover he didn't mean to find.
"I got you," Yลซji whispers comfortingly, "I got you. Just keep coming, baby. That's it. You're my good girl. You did so well. You're so perfect."
Yลซji, with his dick still inside of you, slowly lowers you to the bed, tucks a stray strand of loose hair behind your ear, and nuzzles you comfortingly. "How are you feeling?"
"Baby," you try to speak, "too full."
After several pumps and his own release, Yลซji pulls himself out from you. "I'm glad."
Cringing, you ask. "Sorry, was it . . . too weird for you?"
Scratching the back of his neck sheepishly, he admits, "I was surprised that it wasn't . . ."
"C-Can we do it again another time?"
"Baby, I thought you'd never ask." Yลซji teases. "Although, maybe we need to set ground rules. Wouldn't want to complicate things, y'know."
With what's left of your energy, you manage to kiss the tip of his nose before nuzzling yourself into his warm embrace.
"We need to do laundry tomorrow. It smells."
"This is all from you, I hope you know." He pauses. "Wait, I like it. Can't I keep it for one more day?"
"Ew. No."
"Didn't hurt to ask . . ."
"Okay," you tap his arm to let you go, "gotta pee before I get an infection."
"Hmm,"
The calm silence between you two โ or three โ doesn't last long when someone bangs against the door angrily, and you hear Megumi's voice calling out to you and Yลซji.
And Sukuna. You might as well drag him with you, too.
Megumi also must've summoned his dog because you hear a couple of growls and something scratching the bottom of the door.
"Whatever orgy you all are doing in there, take it elsewhere next time!"
"And he could've said that shit sooner?"

heian!sukuna who unknowingly courts the village herbalist teaching him how to read.
heian!sukuna is the man feared by all who are in the capital. it is imperative to know that he wanders through villages where even his mere name strikes fear into their hearts.
however, it is something that he absolutely refuses to admit that ryomen sukuna cannot read. this is something he hides well... only for the herbalist of a small kyoto village to figure out within minutes because he keeps rotating a tax ledger the wrong way. he has spent decades crushing clans, toppling shrines and making emperors tremble, yet cannot decipher a single character written on a tax ledger. nobody knows. nobody is allowed to know. the first and only person to realize is you, after watching him silently glare at a government record for nearly a full minute before threatening to kill the tax collector instead of reading it.
it is not that he is stupid. he has simply never been taught. but also, he doesn't understand why anyone would willingly stare at ink on paper when they could simply ask someone what it says. unfortunately, people keep lying to him.
heian!sukuna who finds you out in the field as your father sent you to gather herbs. you freeze in your spot as he approached, but nevertheless, you still ran your mouth about how he's using the wrong herb to heal his wound. he does not know how it happened. the next thing he knows, he is following you to your father's apothecary and being carefully patched up.
heian!sukuna who pretends he has no interest in learning. he returns to your father's apothecary because his wounds require treatment, he tells himself. certainly not because you keep sliding sheets of paper across the table with oversized characters written in careful ink. certainly not because you've begun greeting him with, "today's lesson is easier than yesterday's." he has threatened your life enough times that the words have become little more than punctuation.
heian!sukuna who discovers reading is somehow the only thing brute force cannot solve. if he misreads a battlefield, he can kill everyone involved. if he misunderstands a politician, he can burn down the estate. if a piece of paper refuses to reveal its secrets... the paper simply continues existing. infuriating.
heian!sukuna who insists the characters are idiotic.
"They look alike," he grunts. You merely shake your head.
"They do not."
"They are all scratches."
"They are words," you do not even insult him, yet you have to duck as the brush flies past your head.
heian!sukuna who insists he hates every lesson. then arrives before you every single time. he who memorizes faster than you'd ever imagined possible once his pride is wounded. you absentmindedly mention that village children usually recognize these characters after a week.
"...Children?"
"Mm."
He returns the next morning before sunrise. He learns his first few characters entirely out of spite after you casually remark yet again that village children usually know these by heart.
heian!sukuna who learns practical words first because they're the only ones he'll tolerate. mountain. river. shrine. sake. sword. tax. bounty. medicine. the first complete sentence he successfully reads is, "take one dose after eating."
heian!sukuna who begins waiting beneath the same cedar tree before every lesson despite arriving hours earlier than you. he is always there long before you finish gathering herbs. when you finally ask why he's always there first, he scoffs.
"I happened to be passing through."
"You've been 'passing through' every third afternoon for five months."
"..."
"You've flattened a path."
heian!sukuna who starts recognizing your footsteps before he recognizes the characters you're trying to teach him.
heian!sukuna who remembers every correction you've ever given him. not because he enjoys studying. because he refuses to make the same mistake twice in front of you.
heian!sukuna who grows offended whenever you praise him. somehow "good" feels more humiliating than "idiot." however, something in his chest refuses to let your word, "good," slip by. it creates an unpleasant stretch in his heart, one that he somehow wants to feel constantly.
heian!sukuna who sits close enough during lessons that you initially assume he's trying to intimidate you. eventually you realize he's simply trying to see the paper better without admitting it. heian!sukuna who accidentally learns your handwriting before he learns half the language. strangely, the man started recognizing your notes immediately, even before he can actually read them. he'd know one of your medicine packets anywhere.
heian!sukuna who remembers every idle complaint you've ever made. it has been made reality once when one day, he silently destroys cursed spirits around your herb fields because you once sighed that they made gathering plants inconvenient. it is imperative that he never says "be careful." instead, the thing that would have hurt you simply stops existing.
heian!sukuna who acts as though you've deeply insulted him whenever you laugh at his mistakes. he who was deeply offended the first time you laughed so hard at one of his mistakes that you nearly fell over. he spent the rest of the lesson glaring at you. he returns the next day anyway. he secretly likes making you laugh.
heian!sukuna who has no concept of "visiting." if he wants to see you, he simply appears. if your father is eating dinner, he waits outside. if you're gathering herbs, he finds you. if you're asleep, he leaves. it takes him months to understand there are acceptable times to arrive at someone's home.
heian!sukuna who genuinely cannot comprehend why your father starts setting out an extra bowl whenever he visits. "He expects you," you explain. sukuna only stares at the bowl before quietly sitting down. by the fourth visit, he doesn't even hesitate anymore.
heian!sukuna who has never been welcomed into anyone's home before. feared? yes. worshipped? certainly. invited to stay for tea because it's raining? never.
heian!sukuna who gradually stops threatening to kill you because it stops being effective. every time he growls, "I'll kill you," you simply reply, "Read the third line first."
heian!sukuna who thinks protecting you is common sense. everyone else thinks it's possessive. you think it's confusing. it is also not just protectionโthe man once burned down a tax office after hearing how much they overcharged your father. he insists it was unrelated. absolutely nobody believes him.
heian!sukuna who remembers every single thing you complain about. your worn sandals. the tax collector. the cold in winter. he'll never mention it againโbut somehow each problem quietly disappears over the following weeks. heian!sukuna who discovers he enjoys listening to you talk. he doesn't contribute muchโoccasionally gruntsโbut somehow learns everything about your childhood, your father, your favorite seasons, and which village children steal dried persimmons from your shop roof.ย
he doesn't realize he's started lingering after every lesson just to hear you talk. he does not know why the mere sound of your voice brings tranquility to his frame and he has absolutely no concept of awkward silence. if the lesson ends, he'll simply continue sitting beside you until one of you eventually speaks. eventually, he starts and keeps asking questions during lessons that have absolutely nothing to do with reading.
heian!sukuna who starts reading because of pride but keeps learning because he likes the sound of you saying, "good.โ he has become absurdly competitive over literacy. the day he reads an entire page without stumbling, he immediately reaches for another before you can praise him.
heian!sukuna who secretly likes when you tap the back of his hand with your brush after he gets something wrong. it's become part of the lesson now. one day you don't do it because you're distracted, and he spends the entire afternoon wondering why.
heian!sukuna who finds himself listening whenever you ramble about plants despite understanding almost none of it. he does not have respect for plants, nor does he thank them for what they do at first. and yet, he starts being more careful around fields. heian!sukuna who begins identifying herbs solely because he likes hearing you say, "correct."
heian!sukuna who doesn't understand flirting, but is frighteningly good at paying attention. if you mention liking plum blossoms once, he'll remember it six months later.ย
heian!sukuna who starts bringing you things with absolutely no understanding that gift-giving is one of the oldest forms of courtship. one afternoon it's a beautifully carved hair comb. herbs that don't grow near the village. another day it's silk stolen from some noble's procession. another time it's your favorite mountain flowers. he has no idea this is considered courtship.
"...You remembered,โ you blink, taking the unwilted flowers into your hands. They are delicate. They contrast too strongly against Sukunaโs claws.
"You complained you couldn't find them."
"Three weeks ago."
"You complained."
As though that explains everything. Apparently, to him, it does.
you who have never once been courted yourself. you have never been in love before. you've turned down proposals politely, avoided wandering monks who became too friendly, and learned from every older woman in the village that beauty attracts as much trouble as it does admiration. sukuna should terrify you the most. somehow... he doesn't. you're the apothecary's daughterโpretty enough that your father always insisted you avoid walking home after dark, practical enough to ignore every village boy who suddenly found excuses to visit the shop after you turned sixteen.ย
you've had admirers, certainly, but admiration from men in the Heian era often comes hand-in-hand with entitlement. you're careful. polite. observant. romance has always seemed more frightening than exciting. you've watched enough women become trapped in unhappy marriages to know affection from a man can become frightening very quickly.
and yet, it is heian!sukuna the man who has never concerned himself with propriety who accidentally starts courting you exactly the way he approaches everything elseโwith relentless consistency. he shows up. he remembers things. he solves problems. he leaves. repeat. heian!sukuna has absolutely no idea why the village starts referring to him as "the herbalist's man."
which is exactly why Ryomen Sukuna confuses you so thoroughly. because he has never once cornered you. never demanded anything, certainly not to the extent of how the King of Curses should demand for things. never touched you without reason. never expected obedience.
you who immediately reject the village rumor that Ryomen Sukuna is courting you because that would be ridiculous. you who doesn't realize youโre smiling every time you hear distant footsteps approaching the apothecary. you have begun to notice that sukuna remembers things you yourself have forgotten saying. you who began setting aside tea before he even arrived.
and you who begin writing the practice sheets more slowly than necessary. the characters grow slightly larger. the explanations slightly longer. there are easier ways to teach him now, but if sukuna learns too quickly... what reason would he have to keep coming back?ย
you who catch yourself drying two teacups every morning before remembering he isn't supposed to visit until the afternoon. you place the second cup back into the cupboard. an hour later, you take it out again.
heian!sukuna who hears two old women whisper that he's devoted, a creature such as him, and spends the next hour wondering what in the world "devoted" means.
you who are cornered by three elderly village women while gathering herbs. they tell you that the demon is courting you and you shrug their ridiculous theories off even as they list off evidence of his courtship. firstly, he brings you gifts, which you respond with how he steals them. he does not gift them. you keep trying to explain Sukuna's behavior away. and yet you also defend him.
"He isn't bringing me gifts,โ you say weakly to one of the many elderly women within the village, asking, or assuming, whether you are truly being courted. Everyone knows the King of Curses gives the daughter of the apothecaryโs owner gifts of luxury. "...He just happened to find them."
The next day, you are talking to a merchant's son. โHe is not of that sort,โ you say almost furiously, immediately as he implies in his concerned cadence, that Ryomen Sukuna has been keeping you captive. They think you are being forced. "You do not speak of him like this again."
You do not realize that Ryomen Sukuna has been eavesdropping you. Nor do you realize why the merchant's son had not come back to seek revenge for your disrespect is because of Sukuna.
heian!sukuna who cannot understand why the entire village looks at him strangely. people move out of his way as usual, but now mothers begin whispering behind their sleeves whenever he walks toward the apothecary.
"They think you're courting me."
"...And?"
"You should deny it."
"Why?"
You stare at him for so long your tea goes cold.
heian!sukuna who has apparently been courting you for nearly a year before realizing that's what he's been doing. he remembers your favorite flowers. he remembers which herbs stain your sleeves. he remembers you dislike bitter tea unless honey is added. he remembers you once sighed that your comb had broken and arrives the following week with a better one.
"You were courting me."
"I was?" he asks, then as if everything came back to him he mutters, โ...ah.โ
"You bumbling moron," this should be the final proof that Ryomen Sukuna has been courting you. Because the King of Curses does not take lightly to disrespect and those who dare to insult his name are not far from having their limbs fed to the measly curses.
heian!sukuna who learns to read far quicker than either of you expected once he stops pretending not to care. he who read an entire sentence by himself for the first time and immediately looked at you instead of the paper. he does not understand why your smile feels more satisfying than getting the answer right. when he eventually becomes proficient enough to read your handwriting without difficulty, it is one afternoon when you leave medicine wrapped neatly beside him before leaving to gather herbs.
heian!sukuna discovers months later after his first lesson, that every medicine packet you've ever given him contains little notes in the margins. he growls as he reads the margin you left, in third person, denoting how much of a 'buffon this man is, but he is learning.' he spends an entire afternoon reading years' worth of affectionate insults. he finds out you've called him an idiot over forty times.
He unfolds the paper.
"One packet after supper," simple enough. Then, beneath itโ"If you're reading this, congratulations." He frowns, yet continues, "I still don't think you are." Another packet. "Don't eat all of them this time." Another. "He threatened to kill me seven times today. Improvement." Another. "I think he's enjoying these lessons. He would rather set himself on fire than admit it."
Another. "You are lucky you're handsome." He reads that one twice. Then another. "I am mistaken. No amount of beauty could compensate for today's performance."
By the time you return, Sukuna is sitting exactly where you left him, every medicine wrapper spread around him like evidence.
"You can read those now," you say weakly.
"Yes,โ silence lingers for what seems like an eternity. "You called me an ox."
"You were being stubborn."
You make it three steps before turning to flee. Sukuna followsโnot because he's angry, but because after months of suffering through your lessons, he has finally unlocked years' worth of ammunition to tease you with. It is, he decides, almost worth learning to read.
heian!sukuna who is strangely disappointed when the newest medicine packet contains only instructions. then he turns it over.
"Still handsome. Still an idiot."
...Much better.
heian!sukuna who eventually realizes he no longer comes for the lessons. he comes because you're there.ย
he also comes because he has now asked your father for your hand in marriage with exactly the same tone he once used to demand surrender from entire clans.
he debated writing a letter at first. he did not. he came to the apothecary.

summary: when your boyfriend abandons you on the side of a mountain you find solace in the form of a pink-haired mountaineer who comes to your rescue
word count: 11k
content: 18+ mdni, smut, modern au, mountaineering/hiking, reader is dating naoya :(, abusive bf, misogyny, injury, fluff, hurt/comfort, friends to lovers, cheating (kind of? reader's relationship with naoya is essentially done), semi-public sex (in a tent), piv, fingering, soft!sukuna
a/n: thinking about this scenario was the only thing that got me through my own miserable mountain experience and food poisoning last week :(
Youโd joined the mountaineering club out of a desire to connect more with your boyfriend.ย
He was an experienced mountaineer - the type of person whoโd been climbing peaks with his family since he was a kid, and youโd thought heโd be happy to be able to go on those adventures with you. Youโd figured it could be one of those interests that you shared. Something you could do together.ย
Dismissal had been the emotion youโd been met with when you first told him youโd joined. It had been a scoff paired with an off-handed statement about how you werenโt cut out for all that.ย
Maybe, if youโd had more sense, you wouldโve broken up with Naoya in that moment and saved yourself a whole lot of trouble. Instead, just like always, you made excuses for him. You figured he was just having a bad day - that you just needed to prove yourself to him and then heโd be happy to have you as a climbing buddy.ย
He was just concerned about your skill. That was all.ย
So youโd worked hard at the club - learned plenty of skills, did plenty of hours in the gym, made dozens of friends with the other club members to ensure you werenโt dependent on Naoya to teach you everything.ย
You tried to ignore how uninterested your boyfriend seemed in your progress, tried to ignore the way heโd flirt with the other women at the club - you were sure heโd be so impressed with you on your first major outing to Mount Hotaka that heโd forget about everything else and be pleased with you for once.ย
That was all you wanted, for him to be proud of you outside of the offhanded thanks heโd give whenever youโd make him dinner.ย
Your first trip out to the mountain had several people in attendance. Beyond you and Naoya there were a handful of women from the club who youโd grown close with: Shoko, Utahime and Yuki, and then a few men. There were a couple of older guys you didnโt know very well, and then a few in your age range who had been helping develop your skills - the most notable of that group being Sukuna, who had dedicated lots of time to teaching you knowledge that Naoya had brushed aside.ย
It had surprised you at first, that the hulking pink-haired man had any interest in helping you do anything. Others in the club had claimed that he tended to be aloof, harsh and generally unfriendly - and while he was harsh in his teachings, unfriendly was certainly not the word youโd use to describe him.ย
Heโd gone out of his way to help you, chasing away others like Satoru with the claim that they were โtoo stupid to teach you rightโ. Spending hours at your side, heโd taught you all you needed to know about equipment, rope skills and climbing. He wouldnโt provide praise unless it was deserved, but once youโd finally started getting things right heโd always made sure you knew he was pleased with you.ย
It was praise you were desperately starved for, praise youโd love to receive from your boyfriend, and you were ashamed to admit that Sukunaโs simple compliments lingered in your mind for longer than they should have.
Youโd grown rather fond of him since joining the mountaineering club, even despite his somewhat prickly demeanour to everyone else, you felt he was someone you could rely on, someone who wouldnโt call you stupid for asking him questions. Even if heโd sometimes tease you for getting upset or frustrated for not understanding something, heโd still take the time to help you understand.ย
Unlike Naoya, who would roll his eyes and once again point out how unfit you were for something as involved as mountain climbing.ย
The comparison between the two was something you found yourself making more and more often, eyes straying over to your pink-haired friend when he wasnโt looking, your stomach flipping when heโd speak to you, or when heโd place a large hand on your shoulder in congratulations at a task done well.ย
You knew it was wrong, chastising yourself whenever the thought of Sukuna would stray into your mind late at night while Naoya was snoring away next to you. Not only did you have a boyfriend, but you were certain Sukuna didnโt think of you in anything beyond a friendly manner anyway.
So you kept those feelings locked deep within your chest and tried to focus on why you were in the club in the first place - to prove to your boyfriend that youโd make a good partner for his mountain expeditions, to prove that you were worth more to him than being a glorified maid in his house.
The first few hours of the hike, starting in the early morning, had gone by fairly uneventfully. Your training had paid off and your legs felt good as you winded up through valleys and fields, trailing a little behind the group of boys, favouring a slightly slower pace and jovial conversation amongst the girls.ย
Despite Naoyaโs reluctance for you to join the club, you felt like it was where you were supposed to be. You loved being out in nature - taking in the fresh air and drinking from mountain streams, wandering along with like-minded people and encouraging each other along through the gruelling uphills.ย
It wasnโt until late afternoon that things started to get more difficult, with the altitude creeping steadily up, and the group stumbling across snow fields that still hadnโt melted in the late spring air. It was nothing you werenโt prepared for, but with everyone feeling a great deal more tired than they had in the morning hours, the pace slowed considerably.ย
A group of the more experienced men ended up going on ahead at a quicker pace, saying theyโd get the next big section of uphill completed and scout out a good camping spot for the night, since the plan was to make a summit push in the early morning to watch the sunrise.ย
You didnโt mind that so much - you didnโt like the feeling of slowing them down and that arrangement meant that you could keep going at a comfortable pace without feeling stressed about it. The girls you were with were perfectly experienced in their own right, and Naoya had chosen to hang behind with you anyway rather than going on ahead.ย
That was a decision that youโd convinced yourself was on account of him wanting to keep an eye on you, but a part of you believed it was really because he didnโt get along with any of the men at the club.ย
Or perhaps it was just so he could keep staring at Yukiโs ass like he had been for the entire hike up to that point.ย
The next couple of hours were difficult, and everyone grew more withdrawn under the effort of a constant uphill - facing switchback after switchback with no clarity on how far you had to go beneath a freshly settled blanket of fog lowering the visibility. Shoko had been struggling for a while, and after an extended rest on a rock decided that it was best if she turned back and camped somewhere lower in the valley.ย
Sheโd been having issues with her lungs and didnโt think it was wise to keep going.ย
At her decision, Utahime also suggested that she wanted to go back, mentioning that she also didnโt feel in the best physical condition, and Yuki insisted on going back with the two of them to make sure they got back down safely. Youโd considered joining them, but you were still feeling good both physically and mentally and were keen to continue upwards towards the peak.ย
Considering Naoyaโs experience, you were certain that the two of you would be fine even without the girls, so you waved them off and continued upwards into the mist, eager to reconnect with the other half of your group and get settled with Naoya in the tent for the night.ย
โ
Sukuna had found a pretty good camping spot. He was pretty sure it was in a similar position to where heโd set up on his solo winter ascent a couple of years before - a location that should be downright comfy in the mild spring weather.ย
Assuming that weather stayed mild.ย
It was hard to tell through all the fog, but he was almost sure he could see dark clouds rolling high in the sky. He hoped he was wrong. There hadnโt been a storm on the forecast, and if one was to roll in that could make for a very harrowing evening, especially for people like you whoโd had little experience of the mountains.ย
He hoped one bad night wouldnโt be enough to put you off entirely.ย
โYuki just radioed.โ Satoru called out to him. โShe, Shoko and Utahime are all going back down. The others are still coming I think.โย
Sukuna hummed in affirmation as he moved to set up his tent. He wished it couldโve just been you coming up, rather than you and your shithead boyfriend, but he supposed heโd rather you have a buddy in the mountains than be out there alone. If heโd had things his way, he wouldโve hung back with you for the whole duration of the hike, but he didnโt need people casting suspicions on his actions.ย
Heโd already received some strange looks over his eagerness to teach you - the last thing he needed was the rumor mill in full operation.ย
Even if the rumor mill was right in this case.ย
He liked you. He really liked you.ย
Feelings that he needed to keep to himself, because your boyfriend was one jealous asshole, and he was almost confident that any sign of flirting on Sukunaโs part would have Naoya taking out his anger and jealousy on you, which was the last thing he wanted. He wasnโt sure what you saw in that guy, but god, Sukuna wanted to bash his teeth in.ย
Heโd been watching it for months now - the depressing life you lived in which youโd excitedly bound over to Naoya to show him something youโd learned only for him to react with total disregard. Sukuna had watched the light in your eyes flicker and die each time, doing his best to control the rage boiling in his chest.ย
You deserved better than that fucker.ย
But he got the sense that you werenโt able to see that.ย
Almost everyone had set up their tents, laughing and joking and tearing into provisions by the time Naoya appeared from the mist. A couple of hours had passed since the group first found the camping spot, and Satoru welcomed him enthusiastically as he stepped into the clearing. He looked surprisingly exhausted for a man who was supposed to be experienced.ย
Sukunaโs red eyes scanned the fog, waiting for you to appear behind the man. His chest squeezed when only silence followed, no sign of your presence in the mist.ย
โIs it only you?โ Satoru asked, voicing the very question that was on the tip of Sukunaโs tongue.ย
โYeah, the girls went down,โ Naoya responded nonchalantly, shrugging off his backpack. โIs there a good place for me to set up?โ Satoruโs lips parted, as if to question the manโs statement, considering Yuki had relayed specific names, but he clearly thought better of it, nodding and pointing Naoya in the direction of a clear patch of dirt for him to pitch his tent.ย
Sukuna wasnโt so happy to shrug it off.ย
โYuki only said she was going down with Utahime and Shoko,โ he called out to Naoya. The man turned to look at him, irritation shining in his amber eyes. Sukuna was well aware that Naoya despised him just as much as he despised Naoya.ย
โThey all went. Think I donโt know where my own girlfriend is?โ Naoya snapped.ย
Sukuna stared him down for a moment before leaving him be, heading over to Satoru and asking for the radio. Speaking into it, he called out for Yuki, praying that they were still within a reasonable range to pick up his voice.ย
He was met with only silence, cursing under his breath at the realisation that they were probably all the way back in the valley by that point and likely impossible to reach. His crimson gaze fell to Naoya once more, watching him hum as he set up his tent without a care in the world.ย
Something in the pit of Sukunaโs stomach told him that there was something wrong. You hadnโt gone back with Yuki. Youโd been so happy all day, so excited about your first major peak. Not only that, but youโd been in good condition - heโd been watching you whenever he could, heโd been proud at how well you were doing.ย
You wouldnโt have turned back. And if you had, Yuki wouldโve listed your name when she was heading down. Yuki was no newcomer to the mountains - she was responsible and experienced and she always emphasised the importance of good communications. And if youโd have turned back any later, Naoya shouldโve gone with you - it's what any sensible person wouldโve done.ย
But he was here, and you werenโt. And you hadnโt gone with Yuki. So you were alone.ย
Sukunaโs first instinct was to bash Naoyaโs head in. He wanted to walk over there and silence that bastardโs humming with a well placed rock to the head. What kind of a man - an experienced mountaineer, no less - would abandon their inexperienced girlfriend on the side of a mountain?ย
It wasnโt like Sukuna doubted your ability. Heโd taught you all you needed to know, but putting those things into practice alone, at altitude, and in adverse weather was a whole other thing.ย
Instead of doing anything about Naoya, he parked that issue temporarily and quickly moved to dismantle his own tent. He wasnโt going to sit there and do nothing while your location was unaccounted for. Even if you had gone down shortly after Yuki, even if youโd made it back to the valley by yourself, he wasnโt going to roll the dice on your life.ย
Heโd go back the way theyโd come and heโd walk until he found you - even if that happened to be safe and sound at the bottom of the mountain.ย
โWhatโre you doing?โ Satoru asked, hovering as Sukuna put his stuff back into his pack. Naoya had stopped to watch, a sneer on his already ugly face.ย
โI donโt think she went down with Yuki. I need to make sure the boyfriend of the year over there didnโt leave her in some bad situation,โ Sukuna explained.
โOh my god, sheโs fine.โ Naoya snapped from across the campsite. โYuki just misspoke, she went down with them. Why is it your problem anyway? It's not like sheโs your girlfriend.โย
The defensive edge to the manโs voice told Sukuna all he needed to know, and he ignored the jabs in favour of packing up more quickly. He didnโt want it to get too dark - if something bad had happened and you didnโt have your headlamp on it would be impossible to find you at night.ย
Unfortunately, Naoya seemed to have no interest in letting up. โI mean seriously? Youโre actually doing this? I know you wanna fuck her but sheโs always been a loyal little thing - she ainโt gonna put out for you because of this. I think sheโs realised that she isnโt cut out for this type of shit - she went back down to safety with the rest of the girls and I think sheโll probably quit the club. She can get back to what sheโs good at.โย
Sukunaโs hands stilled as he zipped his bag shut, his expression calm as he finally looked at the man before him. There was malice in his expression and a clear, guilty desire to keep Sukuna from trekking back down the mountain path.ย
โโShe can get back to what sheโs good atโ?โ Sukuna asked, drawing himself up to his full height. โAnd what would that be?โย
The smug grin Naoya shot him was sickening. โMaking me dinner.โย
Sukuna laughed, a deep unpleasant sound rumbling from his chest. โRight.โ He took a step forward, towering over your boyfriend who he deeply hoped would be your ex-boyfriend after that expedition. Before Naoya could react, Sukuna grabbed him by the front of his raincoat. โListen. Iโm going back down that path. If I find her out there, abandoned and alone, be assured that Iโll beat you so badly that youโll never climb another mountain again. Do you understand me?โย
Fear flickered in Naoyaโs amber eyes, but he pushed it down quickly, replacing it with a scowl. โGet the fuck off me.โย
Sukuna let him go, revelling in the way he stumbled about off balance, barely keeping himself from careening onto the floor. If he was being honest with himself, the desire to enact justice on Naoya in that moment was tempting, but he could wait. Every moment he spent in that camp was another moment of peril for you.ย
And unlike Naoya, he wouldnโt leave you to a night alone on a mountain.ย
โ
You werenโt sure when youโd lost Naoya.ย
Heโd been picking up the pace significantly while youโd been getting slower and slower, and despite calling out for him to wait for you to catch up, eventually he just disappeared off into the fog - the sound of his footsteps fading entirely.ย
It had left you at a loss, unsure as to whether you should keep going or turn back. You were certain that the summit camp probably wasnโt too far off, but you had no real idea of how far that distance might actually be, and had a vague concern that you might take a wrong turn in the ever-thickening fog, leaving you stranded for the night. You and Naoya were sharing a tent which heโd been carrying, and subsequently ending up alone for the evening wasnโt ideal for you.ย
The most youโd be able to do is wrap yourself in your sleeping bag and find a sheltered place to hunker down for the night.ย
But it shouldnโt come to that.ย
Getting down to the valley would take too long, and you werenโt sure where Yuki and the gang wouldโve settled anyway. Naoya had the radio. He had everything really, which meant that the only thing you could do was continue upwards and hope that you stumbled across the other half of your group.ย
It was a plan that was going okay until youโd carelessly stepped on a loose rock, sending you tumbling back down a hill of scree youโd spent the past half an hour climbing.ย
At first youโd thought only your morale was damaged, your mind exhausted at the prospect of having to get back up and reascend a slope youโd already climbed once. But as you struggled to get to your feet, you realised that it wasnโt only your mind that had undergone damage.
A hot pain spread through your ankle as you tried to stand, sending you straight back down to the floor with a yelp. Panic instantly overcame you, the sudden realisation of where you were hitting you like a tonne of bricks. Naoya, your boyfriend, had abandoned you on the side of a mountain. Heโd left you in the fog, beneath the setting sun, without a tent and without a radio. And now you were injured.
If you didnโt know better, you wouldโve said he was actively trying to kill you.ย
But what was more likely was that he was just proving the point heโd been trying to make all along - that you werenโt cut out for the life of a mountaineer.ย
And considering your condition, could you really disagree with him?ย
Soft sobs overtook you, and you began to spiral. You werenโt sure how long you sat there, shivering as the cold grew more intense, mumbling incoherently to yourself about how you shouldโve gone back down to the valley with Yuki.ย
Perhaps you never shouldโve tried facing the mountains in the first place.ย
Maybe Naoya was right.ย
They were thoughts that fled from your mind at the blessed sight of a headlamp cutting through the fog from above, footsteps crunching evenly on scree, picking up in speed the moment the light shone upon your sorry figure huddled on the ground.ย
โFuck, are you okay?โ Sukunaโs voice had a tremor of relief shooting through you, and more tears swelled at the corners of your eyes. He was crouching down in front of you, expression laden with concern as he scanned your cowering form. One of his hands reached for your face, wiping away tears carefully while he waited for you to answer him.ย
โMy ankleโฆโ You mumbled. Everything was too overwhelming for you to articulate any further, your words already coming out all choked and shaky. Sukuna didnโt need to hear any more, attention instantly shifting to your foot. His hands moved to prod gently at it, watching your face for a grimace which came quickly under his touch.ย
โDoes that hurt?โย
You nodded. He bit down on his lip and quickly moved to untie the lace of your boot. A soft whimper left your lips as he pulled it from your foot, but he was right to pay your reaction no mind since you were overcome with relief once your ankle was freed from those rigid confines pressing down too tightly upon it.ย
It had swollen up significantly in the time youโd been sitting there waiting for someone to come for you.ย
โRight. Iโll deal with the ankle soon but I want to get us to someplace better first before it gets fully dark.โ It was only just occurring to you that the wind had started to pick up a little, your clothes ruffled by air rushing against you. It would be best to be in a less exposed place - Sukuna had taught you that exposure made all the difference when dealing with bad weather.
โThere was a plateau back down at the bottom of this slope,โ you mumbled, remembering the slight respite youโd had from the seemingly neverending onslaught of uphill.
Sukuna gave you a proud smile and it made your heart flutter. โYeah, that would work. Iโm gonna carry you down there, if thatโs okay? I donโt think you should try walking on that ankle until we give it a proper look.โย
You wanted to collapse into fresh tears at the suggestion. While your boyfriend, the person who was supposed to look after you, had abandoned you on the side of your first big mountain, Sukuna was here offering to carry you to safety. The feeling his offer was giving you had a risk of overwhelming you entirely, utterly grateful that he was the person whoโd come back to look for you.ย
Naively, you wondered if Naoya had sent him down to look for you. It was a weak hope, a desperate, delusional belief that your boyfriend wasnโt as cruel as he truly was.ย
โYeah, thatโs okay,โ you said, quietly. You tried to ignore how pleasant it felt when Sukuna crouched down to scoop you up into his arms. His touch felt warm against your body which had grown cold over the past few hours of inactivity. The arms holding you were strong and secure, building a feeling of safety knowing he was there with you.ย
Naoya wouldโve taken issue with it, but you wished youโd asked Sukuna to stick with you throughout the whole trip. Things wouldโve felt better if it was him you were relying on rather than your boyfriend. In his lessons heโd always emphasised the importance of matching your pace with a mountain buddy - always checking that they werenโt far behind.ย
Rules that a supposedly experienced mountaineer like Naoya shouldโve been well aware of.ย
Sukuna strode down the rest of the hill with ease, keeping you tucked close against him in a princess carry. Considering that you had your pack still on your back you were surprised at how easy he made the whole thing look, because he wasnโt exactly carrying a light load between you in his arms and his own bag on his back. But he didnโt complain or demonstrate any signs of struggle.ย
Outside of the fact that he was largely silent until you reached your destination.ย
You didnโt mind that. It wasnโt like you were in the mood to talk either, your mind swimming with all kinds of things now that you were in safe hands. Naoya had left you behind to die. You couldโve died if no one had come back for you. Exposure couldโve gotten to you, or an animal, or some person with ill-intent prowling the mountainside.ย
Heโd left you helpless and defenceless.ย
And, as rain started to drip from the sky above, you realised that if Sukuna hadnโt come for you, it wouldโve been an evening out in the storm, at altitude, with nothing but your rain jacket and sleeping bag to huddle within.ย
You couldโve died.ย
Sukuna found a well sheltered area and placed you down while he set up the tent. You were in awe at how quickly he got it done - the same actions wouldโve taken you three times the time it took his experienced hands to get it sorted. You were grateful for the speed, because it meant the two of you made it inside before the worst of the rain began to hammer down from the sky above.ย
โOkay. First the ankle. Then everything else.โย
You tilted your head a little at his statement, not quite sure what he meant by everything else, but you assumed he was referring more to your mental condition and questions around how youโd ended up in your terrible position in the first place. You hoped he wouldnโt be mad at you for failing to make it up to the peak after how much time heโd spent teaching you things.ย
You thought maybe heโd chastise you for things like not having your own tent or radio, but Naoya had been insistent about carrying those items for you, assuring you that heโd stick at your side and claiming his actions were out of a desire to keep your pack as light as possible.ย
You were stupid to have believed him.
Sukuna knelt by your foot, removing your sock and inspecting the damage carefully. His fingers pressed delicately against the skin and you found yourself admiring his concentrated expression in the lamplight. โI donโt think it's broken,โ he said. โProbably just twisted.โย
Reaching into his first aid kit, he found a bandage which he wrapped around the problem area, before pulling out an ice pack and snapping to activate its effects. He placed the pack down on your ankle, earning a little hiss from you which pulled a small smile from his otherwise serious face.ย
Heโd been really serious since heโd found you, his expression all irritated and stormy.ย
Was he angry with you? Frustrated that heโd had to come back down the mountain to your aid? You didnโt like the idea of being his burden.ย
โEndure the cold for a bit - itโll make you feel much better.โ he said, placing a warm hand on your calf. Your breath hitched involuntarily at the contact and Sukuna quickly withdrew from you, a tinge of guilt flickering across his handsome face. He instantly busied himself before you could question it, moving onto the next stage of tending to your injury.
He fumbled about in his pack and withdrew some clothing, bundling it up into a small pile and wedging it beneath your foot to elevate it a little. Nothing he was doing was particularly revolutionary - on the contrary, his actions were all things heโd taught you to do in the event of an injury.ย
Youโd just been too panicked to do anything on that scree slope.ย
Perhaps he was mad at you for that too.ย
Sukuna laid out his sleeping mat next to you, his nose wrinkling at the revelation that you didnโt have one because it was in Naoyaโs possession. He slid his mat beneath you, keen not to have you lying on the floor, before pulling out his sleeping bag and sitting on top of that for some amount of comfort.ย
โSo, what happened?โ Sukuna asked. His voice was a little clipped, as if he was holding himself back from saying what he really wanted to say.ย
โI was rushing and lost my footing on some scree-โ
โNo. I mean, why are you alone?โย
โOh.โ You shrugged, taking a deep breath and avoiding his eyes. There was a sticky feeling building up in your throat, keeping your words down. If you said the truth aloud you were certain youโd burst into tears again. โI donโt know,โ you mumbled finally.ย
โYou donโt know?โ He echoed.ย
โIt just sort of happened. The girls went back down the mountain and Naoya kept going quicker and then we got separated somewhere in the fog. I imagine he was probably waiting somewhere up ahead for me but then I slipped.โ You werenโt sure why you were trying to defend your boyfriend. You werenโt naive enough to truly believe heโd been waiting up ahead for you.ย
Heโd left you.ย
But the idea of airing out just how stupid you were to be in that relationship in the first place felt humiliating. You wanted to at least pretend that Naoya didnโt leave you for dead - that you werenโt the fool who had stayed for years with an abusive boyfriend when you shouldโve just left.ย
You didnโt want Sukuna to think you were completely pathetic.ย
โNaoya arrived at the camp hours ago,โ Sukuna said, his tone detached, as if he wanted to avoid projecting any of his own emotion onto you. โHe said youโd gone back down with the rest of the girls.โย
The horrified expression on your face mustโve said it all, because Sukunaโs impartiality quickly faded, rage burning within those crimson eyes. Naoya really had abandoned you. And not only that, heโd also attempted to sabotage any retrieval attempt that might be made for you. Heโd outright claimed you were safe when he knew no such thing.ย
It was a thought that made you sick, and once again the tears started to flow, dripping down your cheeks. Youโd spent years with that man, feeling like you were less than good enough. Youโd let him break you down, put up with his endless bullying and tormenting, all because heโd been sweet to you at the start.ย
Youโd always thought you werenโt good enough, always thought that it was your fault he was so unpleasant with you.ย
Now it felt like your eyes were open for the first time.ย
Heโd left you on the side of a mountain. He couldnโt care less about your wellbeing. He couldnโt care less about you unless you were making him dinner.ย
And youโd put up with it.ย
You were a fool.ย
โI knew that fucker was lying,โ Sukuna hissed. โYuki didnโt say your name when she radioed in to say she was heading back. Sheโs always good with that sort of thing. Fuck, Iโm glad I came down to check, who knows what wouldโve happened if-โย
He cut himself off, faltering before he could finish the sentence. It was clear that he didnโt want to scare or upset you further, not when youโd already reduced yourself to a puddle of tears. You didnโt want to imagine what fate the night wouldโve brought if not for Sukuna arriving as your saviour.ย
Falling silent, he shuffled a little closer to you. Reaching out delicately he began to wipe away your tears with his thumb. The touch of his skin against yours felt pleasant, and you found your sobs faltering at the new found comfort he was providing. A deeply loyal part of you urged you to pull away, reminding you of your boyfriend. You immediately pushed the thought aside.ย
Naoya wasnโt your boyfriend.ย
Not after what heโd done.ย
โDonโt cry. Youโre okay. I found you and weโll make it through the night together. Iโm not going anywhere.โ Sukunaโs words were soothing, and you found yourself nodding between sniffles, your tears gradually drying up. You hadnโt realised you were shivering until Sukuna tentatively wrapped an arm around you, pulling you up and close to him.ย
The storm had worsened outside, and you huddled down in your jacket, letting yourself lean into Sukunaโs chest to keep the shivering at bay. If this was how you felt inside a tent with another human to warm you, you hated to think how you wouldโve felt still stuck all alone on the scree.ย
It didnโt bear considering.ย
โYou should report that asshole to the police once we get down. Nothing will come of it because it's hard to prove intent, but this was an active attempt on your life. He had a duty of care he ignored, stripped you of shelter and then tried to prevent a rescue. I have half a mind to kill him myself.โ Sukunaโs voice rumbled through his body.ย
No one had ever really stood up for you before. Naoya was always good at being charming when it mattered. Your parents and the rest of your family had always seen him as a good prospect - a polite and handsome man from a well off family. With your friends, youโd done the damage on your own, always defending him, manipulated by him to act like the perfect picture of an abused girlfriend.ย
โIโm so stupid,โ you whispered.ย
โWhat?โ Sukuna asked, pulling back ever so slightly so he could look at you properly. You hadnโt spoken at all since the reveal, and your quiet words clearly caught him off guard.ย
โIโve wasted so much of my life with him. Spent so much time defending him like he was some good guy. I only joined this club to impress him and all he ever did was tell me how useless I was at stuff like this - at everything. Did you know that he spent most of this hike staring at Yukiโs ass? And yet, when Iโd tell him about how much stuff youโd taught me heโd get all mad about me talking to another guy and verbally berate me until I cried. And I just let it all happen. You must think Iโm an idiot.โย
Sukuna hesitated, searching for the right words. It made you smile in a twisted sort of way, because he was definitely trying to find something to say that wouldnโt indirectly call you stupid - an impossibility considering the circumstances. Now that your eyes were open you could finally see how foolish youโd been.ย
You just wanted to go home. Forget mountaineering or anything else youโd tried in an attempt to bond with that asshole.
โI donโt think youโre an idiot,โ he said finally. โI think guys like that are very good at getting their way, and you happened to be his victim.โ The words were uncannily gentle, and at a glance at Sukunaโs face you could tell he was out of his comfort zone, but trying his best. He tightened his grip on you as a sudden gust of wind battered the tent.ย
The touch had your heart fluttering, and you wondered how Sukuna felt about your current position. It was probably just a necessity in his eyes - a bid to warm up a tired and stressed woman, nothing more than that.ย
With your loyalty to Naoya stranded somewhere on the mountain never to be recovered, you found yourself wishing the contact was something more than that.ย
But considering your woefully pathetic attempt at summiting this relatively easy peak, you doubted Sukuna held you in high regard at all. His type was probably some strong, confident girl who already knew all her outdoor skills without Sukunaโs input. The type of woman he could rely on to partner with for dangerous and difficult peaks.ย
That wasnโt you.ย
You werenโt sure youโd step foot on a mountain again after this.ย
โMaybe you donโt think Iโm an idiot for that, but you probably think I am for all this.โ You gestured in the general direction of your foot, still humiliated at the thought of Sukuna having to rush down the mountain to your rescue, like you couldnโt be left unsupervised for a single moment without finding yourself in need of rescue.ย
Much to your chagrin, Sukuna laughed. โAn idiot for getting injured? No, thatโs practically a rite of passage. You were doing great through most of the hike - I was keeping an eye on you before the group split in half. Weโll get you down the mountain and get your ankle sorted, and then you can try this peak again another time.โย
Sukunaโs optimism had butterflies swarming in your stomach, but years of insults and abuse werenโt so easily displaced. You lowered your gaze, staring down at your hands in your lap. โI donโt know. I just wonder if Naoya was right. Maybe Iโm not cut out for this.โย
Sukuna pulled a face, clearly displeased by that statement.ย
โDo you like being in the mountains?โ He asked simply.ย
He made no statement on your skill, no attack on anything your boyfriend had told you. Asked nothing more than whether you liked being out in the fresh air, doing what youโd been doing before your ankle had been injured.ย
And you did.ย
You really did like it.ย
โYeah. I do.โย
โThen you are cut out for this. Enjoyment is literally the only requirement,โ he said earnestly. โBesides, that guyโs full of shit. I taught you everything you needed to know and I have faith in your abilities. If you need to listen to someone elseโs opinion to determine your value, how about you consider mine instead of his.โย
A flush appeared across your cheeks. Those were the kind of compliments Sukuna would always pay you. Nothing particularly special or flowery, but deeply genuine in a way that had your whole body bursting with pride, pushing the rot of Naoyaโs insults from your veins and replacing it with Sukunaโs approval.ย
โWeโll come back here together in a few weeks, just the two of us, and weโll do this peak. I can promise you itโll be better. I wonโt abandon you in the fog.โ You believed him, nodding a little in agreement. Even in your fragile mental state that evening, you couldnโt help the excited flip of your stomach at the thought of Sukuna wanting to do something alone with you.ย
The mountaineering club had been a means for you to learn your skills to climb alone with Naoya. You hadnโt expected that it would leave you excited at the prospect of climbing with another man.ย
Still, you tried not to get ahead of yourself. Your little crush on Sukuna, which had been present for several months more than you were really willing to admit, seemed to have finally found the freedom to really take over your thoughts. Your heart was practically in your throat at your current proximity to him, a desire coursing through your whole body.ย
You needed to push it back down even with Naoya out of the picture, because you were certain Sukuna was just being friendly, just being a better person than Naoya was. You couldnโt afford to let your mind run wild with fantasies.ย
At least, thatโs what youโd told yourself.ย
The two of you had sat in silence for a while after Sukunaโs offer of climbing alone together, still huddled together and listening to the wind and rain outside the tent. You found yourself calmed by the steady rhythm of Sukunaโs heartbeat, basking in the warmth of his body which took your mind off the cold compress burning at your ankle.ย
โDo you mind if we share the sleeping mat? It's okay if not, but it would be warmer for you and more comfy for me that way.โ Considering that the two of you had been cuddling for a while, you didnโt see the issue. Anything was fine in matters of survival and you were more than happy to remain close to Sukuna.ย
โYeah, sure. We can zip our sleeping bags together.โย
Sukunaโs lashes fluttered and you swore you could see a dusting of pink on his cheeks, but you were quick to disregard it. It had been a long and exhausting day, and you were likely just seeing what you wanted to see.ย
The cold compress had started to lose its effect, and Sukuna removed it from your ankle while the two of you shuffled about to get ready for bed. Your ankle was feeling much better after a period of rest and elevation, and you found you could move it again without excruciating pain. Getting back down the mountain might still be an issue, but it was one you could leave to figure out in the morning.ย
Zipping your sleeping bags together and settling down on the sleeping mat, Sukuna made space for you beside him. You had to half lay on him for you both to stay on the padding, but with how warm his body seemed to run, you really didnโt mind. He wrapped his arm around you, nestling you close against him under the guise of conserving space - an action that had your whole body thrumming with electricity.ย
You couldnโt remember the last time youโd felt that way. For months, maybe even years, the only thing youโd felt under Naoyaโs touch was mild dread. This was something nicer, something more exciting - a feeling you wanted to experience over and over again.ย
โWarm enough?โ Sukuna asked, giving you a reassuring squeeze. The tent was relatively cool, the fabric being battered by the storm outside, all of which seemed distant as you lay there in Sukunaโs grip. It was a safe and warm place to be, one where you could take your mind off troubles and anxieties knowing he was there to keep anything and everything at bay.ย
Troubles which Naoya had actively brought upon your life, were effectively chased away by Sukuna.ย
How you wished youโd met the pink-haired man earlier in your life.ย
โWarm enough,โ you echoed, your voice coming out muffled as you buried your face into his chest.ย
Again, the two of you fell into comfortable silence, listening to the whistling of wind and basking in the feeling of your bodies pressed close together. You were half asleep and almost convinced that Sukuna was already asleep, when his deep voice cut through the darkness and silence.ย
โI donโt usually go on these things, you know,โ he confessed quietly. โThis is my first one. Iโm only in the club because it gives you connections for exhibition funding and learning new skills. Usually I do mountains solo and usually I do stuff much harder than this.โ He waved his hand in the direction of the tentโs exit.ย
A guilt blossomed in your gut at the speech, recalling similar words from your boyfriend when youโd brought up the trip. Heโd said that climbs in the Japanese Alps outside of wintertime were nothing special, and that the whole thing would likely be so easy that he could do it in his sleep. Heโd only agreed to go after youโd begged him, reminding him that you didnโt have the experience he did.ย
โIโm only here because of you,โ Sukuna continued. The guilt within you only grew sharper. Was Sukuna trying to imply that he was only present out of concern for your inexperience? Had you forced him along because he knew something like this would happen? Had he known heโd need to come to your rescue?
โSorry. I must be such a burden,โ you mumbled quietly, burying your face in your sleeping bag.ย
Did Sukuna really want to commit to climbing alone with you knowing that you were so much less experienced than he was? Or was he just doing it because he felt bad for you? You were likely a pitiful sight with your messed up ankle and an abusive boyfriend who had abandoned you.ย
Sukuna blinked rapidly, astute enough to swiftly connect the dots. โWhat? No, thatโs not- I was trying to say something nice. I was saying I only came along because I enjoy spending time with you. I donโt like these group things and I prefer to do harder stuff but Iโm here because youโre here, and I like you.โย
Your heart was pounding so hard you could hear it in your ears, completely drowning out the sound of any thoughts on how you were supposed to reply to that. You were too caught up on the word โlikeโ, on the way Sukuna shifted ever so slightly against you, pulling you more firmly against his body.ย
โWhat?โ You asked, dumbly.ย
โI like you,โ he repeated. โI think youโre so cute and I love how happy you get whenever you learn something new and Iโm so fucking exhausted of watching your boyfriend ignore you and take you for granted when Iโd cherish you.โย
Again, your stomach flipped, your ears growing warm.ย
โAnd when that fucker showed up at the top of the mountain without you, I wanted to kill him. When I found you all cold and alone on the slope I just- fuck. I want to keep you safe. I want to be the person who looks out for you, I want to take care of you in a way that guy seems unwilling to. He has no idea what he has- had, while I understand exactly what youโre worth. I want to take you to the mountains at my side because unlike him, Iโd be thrilled to have you as my hiking partner.โย
Before you knew what was happening, you were crying again, wetting his clothes immediately with your tears. Your shoulders were shuddering and you could feel Sukunaโs heartrate picking up. It seemed like he was starting to panic - concerned that you were upset by his words when the reality was the total opposite.ย
Youโd never heard something so romantic from Naoya and you never would. To have someone speak such beautiful words to you felt surreal and your body had no idea how to react beyond sobbing from being so overwhelmed with love and affection.ย
โSorry,โ Sukuna said quickly. โI know it's been a long day, now probably wasnโt the time to say anything. You donโt have to respond-โ
He faltered as you peered up at him, your face wet with tears. He usually looked so confident, and even then there was still some atmosphere of certainty about him, but he couldnโt fully hide the glimmer of anxiety in his lovely red eyes. There was a fear of rejection buried within him, a fate that he seemed almost certain he was going to face.ย
If only he could step into your shoes for a moment and feel all the emotion rushing over you at his confession
You didnโt say anything, you couldnโt think of anything that would suffice as a response to his outpouring of desire. Instead you tilted your face upwards, lips parting softly in a clear signal - one that Sukuna caught onto immediately. He closed the gap swiftly, lips slotting perfectly against yours with a warmth youโd never experienced before.ย
Naoyaโs kiss had always been domineering - a wet and unpleasant experience. Sukunaโs kiss was gentle and exploratory. His lips took the time to appreciate yours, to linger on that lovely shared warmth and soak in the feeling of being connected so intimately for the first time.ย
His tongue ran along your lips carefully, requesting for you to open your mouth. You complied easily, letting him hold you ever closer as his tongue pressed into yours, deepening the kiss in a way that felt so natural despite the fact that youโd never kissed each other before.ย
A rumble of thunder overhead had the two of you parting for a second, and you found your shivering renewed as a particularly cold wind blew through the tent. Sukunaโs red eyes went to the entryway, the space illuminating for a second as another flash of lightning ripped through the sky above. His hands rubbed your back soothingly at a louder rumble overhead.ย
โIโm so glad I came down to find you,โ he whispered.ย
โThank you for coming to find me,โ you mumbled, eyes fixed on his handsome face, your mind still struggling to catch up to all that had transpired in the past few minutes. Thoughts of Naoya and all the suffering heโd put you through seemed distant in the intimacy of that tent. โI feel so lucky. Injured ankle aside.โ You giggled softly, heart jumping at the way Sukuna grinned back at you, pressing another soft kiss to your lips.ย
There was a gratefulness to his expression, a soft affection in his gaze which made you feel seen and special in a way youโd never felt with Naoya. It had you sinking deep into another kiss, your lips locked against his in a deeply intoxicating manner. All the stress and the anxiety of the day seemed to wash away beneath his grip.ย
Even with the storm raging outside, you felt safe and warm with him there beside you.
You shouldโve known about his feelings for you - shouldโve understood the moment Yuki had made a comment about how Sukuna never usually spoke to anyone. Heโd spent so much time on you, being so gentle in his teachings, making sure you knew what you were doing, making sure you were praised.ย
Heโd liked you from the start and youโd been too blind to see it.ย
Too beaten down by your own experiences in relationships to believe that any affection directed towards you would be legitimate.ย
You wished you couldโve puzzled it out sooner. You wished you couldโve noticed the soft look that always sparkled in Sukunaโs eyes whenever he looked at you. You wished youโd dumped Naoya several years ago, because it shouldnโt have taken an abandonment on the side of the mountain for you to realise how truly awful your ex-boyfriend was.ย
But what was done was done. Sukunaโs hands were on you now, and that was all that mattered. Youโd made it in the end, even if it had taken you a little longer to get there than you wouldโve ideally liked.ย
โYouโre so pretty,โ he whispered as the two of you broke apart for breath, red eyes scanning your face like he was committing your features to memory. โHow Naoya could be so stupid, I have no idea.โย
โHeโs not a smart man.โย
โNo. He really isnโt.โ Sukuna agreed. โBut his loss is my gain.โย
You hummed, leaning against Sukunaโs chest once more, listening to his heartbeat beneath you. Despite the excitement, you were suddenly aware of how tired you were, and how much the cold was still seeping in through your clothes and down into your bones. Altitude was no joke, and the pleasant spring warmth was nowhere to be found on the mountainside that evening.ย
โAre you still cold? Youโre shivering.โ It wasnโt possible for Sukuna to physically pull you closer to him than you already were, but he gave it an attempt all the same, practically crushing you in his grip.ย
โA little, yeah.โย
โShit. Once sec.โ Moving away from you for a moment, he reached out of the sleeping bag and rummaged about in his bag, withdrawing his down jacket and draping it around your shoulders like an additional blanket. You were grateful for the added warmth, coccooned in between that and Sukunaโs warm body.ย
For a few moments you lay there, your shivering finally subsiding, only for all the hairs on your neck to raise at the feeling of Sukunaโs voice vibrating against the top of your head. โThere is another way I could keep you warm.โย
His tone was suggestive and perhaps a little amused. The comment had heat billowing throughout your body, your gut tightening at the suggestion of something youโd never allowed yourself to think of before. Sukuna was very attractive, and sometimes your mind had drifted in his direction when your hand had been caught between your thighs. But youโd always scolded yourself for it, had always driven away the idea of picturing a man you actually knew when you had a boyfriend.ย
Now the suggestion was right there on the table as something real and tangible, and your mind was conjuring all sorts of exciting imagery.ย
โO-oh. Yeah, that could be nice,โ you said with a sudden rush of confidence. It was Sukunaโs turn to falter, red eyes suddenly wide with surprise, as if youโd called some bluff without even realising it.ย
โI donโt have a condom,โ he murmured, pushing you back ever so slightly so he could look properly at your face. โSorry, I wasnโt actually expectingโฆthis.โย
โI am on the pill,โ you offered a little bashfully, embarrassed to have reacted so enthusiastically to what you were now realising was a joke. โBut we can wait if youโd rather use a-โย
โNo, no-,โ his face was definitely a little red this time, seemingly caught off by your willingness. โIf you want to, Iโd like to. I justโฆโ He rubbed his neck a little awkwardly. โI was just teasing and you surprised me, I guess. Youโre always surprising me.โย
Before you could backtrack or come up with some witty response, Sukuna recovered himself and his lips were on your neck. You let out a soft whimper at the sensation of his teeth dragging against your sensitive skin, his lips latching onto you and sucking purple marks onto you with no concern for who might see them the next day.ย
As far as he was concerned you were his. Naoya could rage all he wanted. If he wanted to keep his girlfriend he shouldnโt have discarded her on the mountainside. Bitterly, you hoped Naoya found out exactly what you and Sukuna had done that night. Let him seethe. Let him reflect on all that heโd lost.ย
The bastard deserved all that misery and more.ย
Sukunaโs hands found their way beneath your clothes, calloused fingers pressing against your skin with care. You hadnโt realised how much your whole body was aching until he was touching you like that, your muscles flexing at the new contact.ย
You took his actions as a sign to do the same, sliding your own fingers beneath his shirt and pressing them against his abs. You knew he was well built - on hotter days heโd been shirtless when working on teaching you to lead climb, and youโd pretty shamelessly stared at him until your mind had reminded you of your boyfriend.
It would be nice for him to be shirtless now, but neither of you felt like removing any layers of clothing in the cold, so for the time being your touch would have to suffice. That was a freedom that Sukuna seemed to be taking full advantage of, mapping out your body with his hands, his fingers moving to your breasts and squeezing, red eyes lighting up at the little moan it earned him.ย
โReally shouldnโt be doing this now,โ he whispered huskily against your ear. โHad the whole thing planned out. Figured once youโd broken up with Naoya that Iโd take you out on a nice date and then bring you back to my place so we could do this properly. But here we are.โย
You giggled softly at the dismay in his tone. โWe can still stop.โย
โNo. I want this now. You arenโt so easily resisted. But mark my words, once weโre back home, Iโm going to take my time with you. I want to look at you properly beyond just fumbling about in a dark tent - as hot as this is.โย
Giggling again, you nodded, in total agreement with his sentiment. Doing things like this, while a little limited, did feel exciting in its own way. It felt like you were keeping some secret with each other, doing whatever you could in the dark without anyone else knowing about it. There was an allure to it that you couldnโt quite put your finger on.ย
With Sukunaโs attention on your breasts, you were the one that ended up making a major move first. Your hand slid down beneath the waistband of his trousers, finding its way into his briefs. He let out a groan at the feeling of your hand brushing against his cock, which twitched erratically at the slightest touch.ย
It felt big beneath your fingers, and you hadnโt realised that your breath had hitched until Sukuna was letting out a chuckle.ย
โImpressed?โย
โMaybe,โ you mumbled shyly. You didnโt have much of a point of reference for such things. Naoya was the only man youโd ever been with, and you imagined that he wasnโt packing anything particularly unique down there. Not if Sukunaโs size was anything to go by. You wrapped your fingers around the shaft, enjoying the way Sukuna shivered in pleasure.ย
Meanwhile, Sukuna mirrored your actions, his fingers moving down your body until they were grazing against your panties. It was a little embarrassing how damp the fabric had grown, your pussy desperately slick from the events of the evening. Your body wanted Sukuna just as much as your heart and mind did, and it was making that fact glaringly obvious.ย
โSo wet,โ he said with a chuckle. โThere I was all nervous that you wouldnโt feel the same. Shows what I know, huh?โย
You flushed, glancing away from him in embarrassment as his fingers pushed your panties to the side, giving him free access to your pussy beneath. His fingers moved deftly through your folds, moving the slick around before rubbing at your clit, leaving you whining his name and squeezing his cock a little tighter.ย
โCute,โ he hummed, his nose brushing against yours. One of his fingers prodded at your opening, pushing in with a little effort. He took a few minutes opening you up with two of his fingers, languidly stuffing you full with them to prepare you. You didnโt want to admit to how emotional the whole thing made you feel, because Naoya had always said that foreplay was a myth.ย
Never before had you been prepared for anything, and Sukuna taking so much time to do so had your heart fluttering.ย
You tried your best to return the favour, stroking his cock as best as you could while it was still confined beneath his clothes, but he didnโt seem to pay that too much attention - completely fixed on making you cum around his fingers before moving onto anything else. That was another thing that Naoya had never done. Cumming with him was so infrequent that youโd almost grown certain that you couldnโt do it with another person.ย
And yet, Sukuna had you doing it in a matter of minutes - your toes curling in desperate pleasure as you gushed over his fingers with a sweet little gasp.ย
There was no time for you to catch your breath before he was pushing your trousers and panties down ever so slightly to give him access whilst still keeping you dressed and warm. He did the same for his own clothes, gently displacing your hand from his cock and repositioning the two of you so that he was on top.ย
The sleeping bag was still wrapped snugly around the two of you, keeping the warmth in effectively while he lined himself up over you, his muscular body keeping you pinned down beneath him in a position youโd be more than happy to remain in for the rest of your days. It was so nice to be under him like that, to be so surrounded by his body and heat and scent.ย
It was where you were supposed to be. In some uncomfortable tent on the side of the mountain feeling happier than ever because he was there with you.ย
Youโd gone to the mountaineering club for Naoya, but you couldnโt help but think fate had guided your actions and really led you there for Sukuna.ย
โAll good?โ He asked, hot breath brushing against your ear. The tip of his cock was pressed up against your opening, and you realised that he was giving you a chance to back out - showing you a level of consideration that Naoya never would.ย
โYeah,โ you breathed, lashes fluttering as you peered up into lovely red eyes, letting out a whine when he finally pushed into you.
You hadnโt been prepared for just how big he was, your eyes practically rolling to the back of your skull as he pressed his way into your tight pussy. Your nails dug into his arms and a whimper left you at the intensity of the feeling. You felt like you were aware of every ridge and vein on his cock, your pussy squeezing around him each time heโd involuntarily twitch within you.ย
It didnโt take long for the uncomfortable fullness to give way to pleasure once he bottomed out inside you. It had a pleasantly warm buzz running through your body once he started to thrust within you, the weight of his body keeping you still and secure, keeping you warm even as the storm picked up outside.ย
Any fears of the thunder and lightning were pushed aside in favour of focusing on the feeling of being split in two. Sukunaโs lips found your neck once more, overstimulating you as he bit and sucked on the juncture between your neck and shoulder, bringing tears to your eyes beneath all the pleasure he was giving you.ย
Even through the stretch it felt right to have him inside you, and it was downright heavenly each time one of his long strokes hit that one specific spot inside you, bringing stars and light to your vision each time.ย
This was where you were meant to be.ย
Neither of you lasted particularly long. Not after the day youโd just had, and certainly not after months of mutual crushing. Youโd cum first - your body already sensitive from the previous orgasm and totally overwhelmed by the intimacy of it all. Sukuna had reached down to play with your clit while he fucked you, and that set you on a high unlike any other.ย
If Naoya had known where the clit was, heโd certainly never touched it.ย
And yet, there Sukuna was utilising it. You could count on one hand the number of times youโd cum from penetrative sex, but Sukuna had pulled an orgasm from you like it was easy.ย
And maybe it was easy.ย
Maybe Naoya just fucking sucked.ย
Sukuna wasnโt far behind you in reaching his release. When youโd cum youโd clamped down around him tightly, locked in a spiral of pure pleasure unlike that which youโd experienced before. It felt better than anything you could achieve with your own hands - infinitely more intimate and lovely.ย
The way youโd squeezed him so tight had sent Sukuna over the edge, prompting him to groan your name in that low tone of his as he filled you with his seed, riding out his own release to the point where you were growing overstimulated and begging him for mercy.ย
Mercy which he gave you with a gentle smile and a kiss planted atop your sweaty forehead.ย
The two of you lay then in the darkness, soft pants drowned beneath the howling of wind. Sukuna was holding you tightly, keeping you secure in his grip like you might vanish if he didnโt cling to you with all his might. He was still inside you, softening but present in a way that felt blissfully intimate. Whenever youโd laid with Naoya, you couldnโt wait to escape his grip and get cleaned up.ย
With Sukuna, it was different.ย
You could stay there with him sheathed inside you for hours - connected in a way that just felt right.ย
His lips were ghosting against your hair, soothing you with kisses, running his hands over you repetitively in a bid to ensure you stayed warm at his side. Your ankle was throbbing a little from all the movement, but with Sukunaโs legs intertwined with yours you found yourself able to ignore it. All thoughts and discomforts overridden by how happy you felt in that moment.ย
โTry and get some sleep,โ he murmured against your hair. โIโll look after you.โย
โI know,โ you whispered.ย
He smiled softly. โJust making sure you know it. Apparently you canโt take for granted that everyone will look out for you.โ His tone came out a little bitter, but instead of feeling anger at the reminder of Naoyaโs actions, you felt a warmth blossom across your chest at Sukunaโs display of care.ย
You liked that he was angry about it. It was nice to have someone care about you for once.ย
In hindsight, it was a blessing that you never made it out into the mountains alone with Naoya like youโd intended to at the start of your mountaineering training. If you had, perhaps you wouldโve ended up left for dead - freezing on the side of the mountain while Naoya summoned some crocodile tears and dismissed your fate altogether.ย
You were lucky to have Sukuna. Lucky to be able to continue going into the mountains with someone who actually wanted you there. Someone who would really take care of you.ย
โIโm glad youโre here to look after me.โ Your hand reached for his face, tracing his tattoos with great care. As pleasant as your evening with him had been, you were looking forward to making it down the mountain - to spending time with him outside of that tent. It would be nice to see just where those tattoos disappeared off to beneath his clothes.ย
But that would have to wait.ย
You knew that the next day would be long. An arduous trek back down the mountain was ahead of you, along with a no doubt vicious confrontation with your ex. One that you were sure Sukuna would take the lead on, but still not something you were looking forward to experiencing.ย
Either way, you wouldnโt dwell on it that evening.ย
Because for the time being, there was nothing you needed to worry about. The storm could rage on outside for as long as it needed to. You were safe in your tent, in the arms of a man who would never leave you alone on the side of a mountain.ย
And it was possibly the happiest youโd been in a very long time.ย
a/n: after getting down to the bottom of the mountain the next day I promise reader slapped naoya and sukuna beat the hell out of him :)
had such a fun time writing this its literally the most self-indulgent fic I've ever written as I love being in the mountains hehe
hope you enjoyed! reblogs and comments are appreciated as always!
๐โ๏ธย 18+ mdni ยทย pussy so good, sukuna taps in
Loving Yลซji comes with a package deal you don't necessarily know how to deal with. Granted, you've loved him first before this whole ordeal even happened โ it still is a matter of when and never an if, per se, when it comes to his special situation.ย
"So tight, baby," Yลซji says between sucking his breath. He's not quite sure whether to ram and go at a harsher pace or let you adjust to his girth first. His control is being tested too much right now. "Even after all that."ย
You moan his name in praise before you lock your legs around his waist and pull yourself closer to him, effectively shutting him up from keeping things slow. You've always wanted things rougher, something that Yลซji loves about you (but even then, he still wishes to take his time).ย
"Oh s-shit, baby!" Yลซji would've let his eyes roll back if he wasn't focused on keeping his entire weight off of you. "F-Fuck!"
"H-Harder, Yลซji," you beg him, "please."
Yลซji doesn't need to be told twice. He grabs hold of your thighs roughly and pounds into you like an animal in heat. You arch your back further for more, and he gives in.ย
Just as you are coming down with your first orgasm, another voice pierces through the solidity of the air and breaks it easily as if he had done this countless times before.ย
"Enchain."ย
Suddenly you are flipped on your hands and knees. Your hair has been forcibly fisted and yanked until your head is pulled back enough to see your lover covered in tattoos, and a vitriol laugh teases your ears.ย
"Y-Yลซ โ"ย
"Brat's not here,"ย Sukuna'sย voice deeply rumbles against your skin.ย
This is the first time he's ever made his presence known to you. You've heard stories of how Sukuna would pop on Yลซji's cheek or his hands whenever he's got something to say (especially towards your sensei and Megumi), but not once has he ever manifested and break through Yลซji's control โ and right in the middle of fucking, too.ย
"Heh," he yanks you further until you can see his eyes gazing heatedly at yours, "pussy so good, my own vessel lost control. Let's see if you do live up to that expectation."
Then he slams your head against the pillow and fucks you senseless. It's wrong . . . to even feel how fucking good it is to be brutally pounded.ย
Yet, here you are in the mercy of a sadistic curse, cackling like a bastard that he is.ย
Sukuna had you spread out for him, as he continues to ram his cock up inside of you. One of his hands kneads your ass mockingly before he slaps each cheek hard.ย
Your teeth bite into the soft fabric of the pillow, muffling your screams lest you want Megumi to hear you at the other side of the room. At this point, Sukuna slapping you might've really been a dead giveaway.ย
"Y-Yลซji โ"
"My name, brat โ"
"โY-Yลซji, Y-Yลซโ"
"โ I saidย myย name." He slaps your sloppily wet clit.ย
You arch your back unknowingly to the sensation, and before you could have thought twice about it, your body yields and your mouth muddles the name, "S-Sukuna!"
"Good." He mutters darkly, "Good girl."
He fondles your breasts next. Then his tongue laps to the outline of your spine and back up to your neck, where he marks you. His canines have sunk into your skin so deeply, he can taste your blood, and that further fuels him into a mess of moans and praise as if he's drunk on an aphrodisiac.ย
"Again." He orders you. "My name.ย Only."ย
"Sukuna," you say. "Sukuna! Sukuna! Sukuna! F-Fuck, I โ"ย
"That's it."
The first of your orgasms comes to you like a torrent. It's harsh and unforgiving, much like how Sukuna doesn't even stop fucking you even as you try your best to squirm away.ย
When you feel that he's finally slowed down, when his hands have released the hold against your body, and you allow yourself to breathe a little better, there's a sudden shift between you and the King of Curses. You realize that it's because you've been flipped back and your legs are locked around his waist again.ย
"S-Sukuna?"ย
"No," Yลซji breathlessly says. He leans his face closer until his lips brush yours. "I-It's me, baby. It's me. I'm sorry. I-I lost control. Are you hurt?"ย
You shake your head with a smile. "N-No, I'm fine. I'm more than fine."ย
"Yeah?" Yลซji perks up. You notice that his cock has hardened once more and he's repositioning himself to your abused cunt.ย
"Yeah, baby." You laugh dumbly. "That was . . . quite exhilarating."ย
Yลซji bumps his nose against yours. The heat in his eyes is visible, but it is nowhere near as intense as the other pair you were forced to look at prior.ย
"That was hot," Yลซji admits. "Watching you . . . like that."ย
"It was," you breathe out.ย
When you peer below Yลซji's eyes, you swear you've seen the glints of red and black squinting back at you as if to tell you that he's heard about your little honesty.ย
Well, it really can't be helped sometimes.ย After all, loving Yลซji does come with a deal.ย
"Are you tired?" Yลซji brushes your hair tenderly.ย
You shake your head. "Not at all, baby."ย
"Let me fuck you next, then."ย

AITA FOR SABOTAGING MY EX-GFโS NEW RELATIONSHIP ?
18+. sum ๐ฒ you and fratkuna are the kind of couple who break up & make up every other week. but when you swear youโre done with him and go off to date his rival, the new football team captain, can his frat brothers help him get you back ?
โsabotaging your ex girlfriendโs new relationship to get her back? this canโt be a good idea.โ
ฮฃฮง
โโhigh value womanโ but your new manโs a misogynist?!โ
ryomen sukunaโs time of irritation is approximately 9:17 PM.
toru gojoโs bedroom floor is velvet carpet with half-empty beer bottles rotting on the rug. his center table is littered with poker cards & satoโs candy wrappers, and geto suguru & sato gojo are avoiding eye contact so they donโt burst out in laughter as sukuna glares daggers at toruโs screen.
toruโs hands shake under sukunaโs glare but he holds the phone steady. the instagram post on screen is a slap to sukunaโs face.
HOT NEW CAMPUS COUPLE : FOOTBALL CAPTAIN NAOYA ZENIN & Y/N L/N !
and the photo is you. swollen lips & pretty gaze & a dress so short it makes sukunaโs jaw acheโbut not as much as naoyaโs arm around you does. beside you tojiโs cousin naoya zenin is there, grin cocky, eyes glinting in the camera light and arm around your waist because his fugly ass doesnโt know you like to be held around the hips instead. sukunaโs jaw ticks.
โiโm gonna get her back.โ
sato, suguru and toru all glance towards each other. they know what that voice means. thereโs no talking him out of it.
but toru lowers his phone, tries regardless. โare you sure? y/nโs always been strong headed. she might hate you even more ifโโ
sukuna grabs his crotch aggressively. โkeep talking and iโll jizz on your face.โ
toru squeaks. sukuna continues. โi know my own girl. know sheโs a fucking brat, doing this shit to get on my nerves,โ he growls. โsheโs bored. testing me. probably doing this shit to see if iโll show up at practice โn break his jaw for touching her.โ
suguru is biting back a grin. โcalling her your girl when she broke up with you last week? and the week before that?โ
sukuna takes a swig of his beer but his jaw is ticking behind the can. โexactly. she knows where home is.โ
satoโs grin is clumsy. โi dunno, man. seems like sheโs got a new address,โ he elbows suguruโs side. โnaoyaโs pants, wellesley street east.โ
โM-4-Y, 1-H-5,โ suguru snickers.
โglad you two have the energy to joke,โ sukuna sets down his beer with a thud. โmeans youโll have energy to help me out tomorrow night.
tomorrow? tomorrow can only mean one thing.
naoya zeninโs one million snap score party. and also, the party that the college football team throws every year before the start of a new season. the party that sukuna hasnโt been to since he quit the role of captain. the party where sukuna first found you drunk & dizzy in an alley just out back, perfume strong & heels clicky, stumbling into his chest with a clumsy grin & flushed cheeks as he held your hips against him to keep you from falling. you reeked of vodka & you kept slurring his name & ryomen sukuna thought you were the prettiest thing heโd ever seen.
and now his pretty thing is somewhere curled into naoyaโs side, and the thought makes sukunaโs throat itch.
suguru cocks his head. โso iโm guessing you have a plan?โ
sukuna chugs his beer. โyou know the plan.โ
they doโthey all do. sato is already grinning. suguru is shaking his head. toru is watching the fratboys with worried eyes.
sato, suguru and sukunaโs lips curl.
the plan?
sabotage.
# SHOW TIME !
at naoya zeninโs one million snapscore party, the air is heavy with the smell of drunken bodies / athlete sweat / something alcoholic dripping off a countertop. getoโs piercings glimmer in the evening dim. ryomen sukuna has his jaw tight. and sato gojo is already drunk and somewhere dancing, legworking with ease as remaโs azaman blares through the speakers.
sukuna and suguru are still scanning the scene when naoya saunters up to them.
naoya zenin is badly dyed hair, bright green eyes and a cocky lilt to his shoulders. heโs got the teamโs varsity jacket around himโGO PANDAS!โand a grin too cruel to be kind. he raises his hands in faux welcome.
โsuguru, sukuna,โ naoya smiles. โdidnโt think youโd make it.โ
sukuna eyes him. โcongratulations on your snapscore.โ
โand my new position as captain,โ naoya bites so hard his teeth show. โhowโs retirement treating you, ryomen? enjoying life off the pitch?โ
suguru slings an arm around sukuna, quick to come to his defence. โheโs doing great, thank you. how about you, captain? have you found confidence in your buck teeth?โ
naoyaโs smile dissolves.
โnice engagement bait,โ naoya recovers. heโs grinning again but his lips only stretch, teeth hidden. โyou always did bite like a bitch, suguru.โ
โi try.โ
โenjoy the booze,โ naoya lets out a jagged breath, turning away. โtry not to cry in your cups too much.โ
sukuna has his arms crossed over his chest, suguruโs arm still slung around him. but heโs not watching naoya walk away. his eyes have drifted to you.
you across the party and perched on a seat at the bar, a glass of something pink in your hands and a dress so short he can trace the swell of your ass. and youโre laughingโoh god, youโre laughing, tucking hair behind your ear with flushed cheeks and a carefree smile. sukunaโs mouth dries. god, youโre so pretty. youโre always so pretty, and sukuna wants to tell you that; wants to curl up beside you and wipe away the red dribbling down your chin and maybe tug your dress down over your ass. youโd swat at him and tell him heโs ruining your outfit. and then youโd kiss him because you like when he gets territorial anyways.
you laugh again, and ryomen sukuna is already moving.
that is, until naoya curls up behind you.
sukuna stops in his tracks. naoya snakes an arm around your waist from behindโyour waist again, not your hips, fucking idiotโand sukunaโs jaw goes slack. he watches naoya press his parched, un-vaselined lips to your shoulder blades, and he doesnโt miss the slight tense of your shoulders before you ease into his chest.
sukunaโs jaw ticks. โsuguru.โ
โhm?โ
โget sato. itโs time.โ
suguru grins. โyes, boss.โ
suguru disappears into the crowd. sukunaโs eyes shift back to you, back to naoya, back to the way his hands slide up your side and the way he whispers something in your ear. you laugh again and sukunaโs jaw twitches, because the sound itself comes out strained.
youโre uncomfortable. and heโd be a fool to miss it.
suguru reappears with sato in tow.
sato is drunk. swaying. red-bruised lips & booze in his breath. his cheeks are flushed pink & his hair sweat-sticky and heโs slung over suguruโs back like his life depends on it. he nuzzles into suguruโs neck. โmmhโyou called?โ
sukunaโs eyes are still on you. he nods towards the bar, โyou see naoya?โ
sato squints. โso ugly,โ
โheโs got his hands on my girl.โ
sato frowns. โthat wonโt do.โ
โyeah,โ sukuna murmurs, lifting a cup of punch off a passing tray. suguru is wiping rum off satoโs lip. sukuna passes the cup to sato. โyou remember the plan?โ
sato gives a drunken nod. and then heโs off.
the plan is simple: red punch, ugly naoya, combination. sato gojo is supposed to be a ninja, an image of stealth and diligence. instead heโs a wobbly drunken mess, giggling boyishly as he stumbles towards the bar.
heโs so close, sukunaโs eyes narrow. just a few more steps and then naoya will be drenchedโ
but sato trips. and as he falls, he pulls naoyaโs pants down with him.
the situation is a whole mess.
punch everywhere. sticky on naoyaโs shocked face, on satoโs fallen figure, on the partyโs hardwood floor. and everyone is watchingโstaringโat naoya zenin covered in punch, pants on the floor. those boxersโis that undertale?
naoyaโs face is blood drenched. โyou drunken fucking idiotโโ
โmโsorry,โ sato cries, face down, hands still gripping naoyaโs pants. โwas trynaโhicโspill the punch, hnghhโsuguruโโ
โget the fuck off me!โ naoya kicks at him, pants rippling around his ankles. someone is pulling out their phone to record. another is already recording. everyoneโs laughing, including you, and even ryomen sukuna is struggling to bite back the chuckle on his lips.
naoya scrambles out of the party, shuffling out in his sans undertale boxers with his pants around his feet. suguru has already made his way to satoโs side.
satoโs eyes are teary, and his forehead is bruised red from naoyaโs kick. suguru cups his face, brows knit. โhey man. you alright?โ
sato groans. โi spilled the punch and the pants.โ
โmhm,โ geto snorts, smushing satoโs cheeks between his palms. โgood job, buddy.โ
โi did good?โ
โso good,โ geto smiles down at him. โcome on, up you go.โ
suguru helps sato up to his feet. sukuna is already moving.
towards you, you at the bar with your palm over your mouth to muffle your laugh as you watch naoya flee into the night. sukuna steps into your space. your eyes are still on the door before you slowly, slowly, turn your head around to him.
your pupils are blown. cheeks flushed and chest heaving from the alcohol, and your eyes focus for a minute before you grin.
โaww, look,โ you beam. โif it isnโt my ex-boyfriend.โ
sukuna shouldnโt take advantage.
he knows if you were sober, itโd be a different story. he knows youโd kick and hit at him, maybe snarl about his audacity to show his face around you. but youโre too many drinks too deep and as drunk and dizzy as the day he met you in that alleyway, so instead of kicking at him you lean forward to cup his cheeks.
sukuna tilts his head to kiss your palm. โHi, baby. youโre drunk.โ
โnoo,โ you slur. โiโm tipsy.โ
โmhm,โ sukuna grunts, stepping forward to slide his arms around your hips before you can lean off the chair. he tugs your dress down over your ass, then strokes your thigh. โthird glass?โ
โso close!โ you squeeze his neck happily. โiโm on my sixth.โ
sukuna hugs you back. but his face is scowling.
naoya zeninโthat fucking idiot. sukuna knows your limit is four. he knows that any more than that and youโll be sick for days, groggy and weak and unable to get out of bed. he squeezes your hips. โsโtoo much, sweetheart.โ
โi know,โ you pout into his neck. โi couldnโt resist.โ
oh, his poor girl. sukuna kisses your hair. just onceโjust because he missed the warmth of your skinโbut then he does it again and again and you giggle into his chest. fuck. heโs missed the sound bad.
โiโm sorry.โ
sukunaโs heart stops. โwhat?โ
โfor going past my limit.โ
sukuna can feel you pouting in his neck. he sighs, because of course thatโs what you meant. not that you were sorry for leaving him or whatever his delusions had him hearing in that moment. after all, he should be the one apologizing anyway. right?
โyouโre okay,โ he hugs you closer, pressing your head into his chest. god, youโre gonna be so sick tomorrow; and the day after, and the day after. โiโm not mad, pretty. donโt apologize.โ
you nod against him. โare you gonna take care of me?โ
sukuna wishes drunk you didnโt talk so much.
because it hurts to have to say no, no but i want to, no but i would if i knew you wouldnโt hate me for it when youโre sober, so he doesnโt say it at all. instead he traces circles on your hips. โgimme your phone.โ
you rest your chin on his chest and beam up at him drunkenly instead.
sukuna lets out a sigh, shifting just enough to reach for your purse without jerking you off his chest. he slips your phone into his palm and tries for the passcode. it unlocks in one go. the passcode is still his birthday, and sukuna sighs again.
โiโm gonna call shoko,โ he murmurs into your ear. โsheโll take care of you, yeah?โ
he could take care of you too, you know. if youโd let him. but you wouldnโt, so he bites his lip.
โshoko?โ you coo into his neck. โi love shoko.โ
โi know,โ sukuna squeezes your thigh. โi know you do.โ
TORUโS REMARK: I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THISโฆ
EX-BOYFRIEND TACTICS #2: GO BIG OR GO HOME !
taught by: geto suguru
โlike the great oikawa tooru said, if youโre gonna hit it? hit it until it breaks.โ
ฮฃฮง
ryomen sukuna is itch itch itching.
itching to know if youโre okay. itching to know if shokoโor, ugh, naoyaโlet you have those crackers you like to help you settle your stomach, kept your room slightly warm, and for christโs sake, kept you away from the advil. you love to reach for them after a night of drinking. sukuna knows it only makes your headaches worse.
you havenโt posted on instagram in days.
not that he should know since you have him blocked. but luckily your account is public and satoโs allowed him to log in on his fake instagram hair page. SlayedBySato. hit them up on IG.
sukuna is lying on the couch, nose buried in a cushion. he watches your highlights with bleary eyes. in the one heโs viewing, youโre in a tight black dress, red and blue hues lighting up your face. youโre dancing the night away, cheeks flushed, lashes fluttering. his pretty party girl. god.
โlook at my girl,โ he mumbles into the pillow. โso fucking hot. iโll slap the shit out of naoya zenin.โ
geto laughs. โshouldnโt have let her get away, then.โ
on the floor, sato has his head in suguruโs lap, pouting as geto presses an iced cloth to his forehead. he flinches. โsugu, how much longer?โ
โshh,โ geto hisses, even though the swelling went down ages ago.
sukuna rolls so his body lays upright, setting his phone down on his chest. โitโs not enough.โ he glares at the ceiling. โthat stunt with his boxers? did nothing but make a bunch of people laugh.โ
suguru and sato look at each other. getoโs voice goes low.
โwhat are you saying?โ
โiโm saying heโs a fraud and i want everyone to fucking know it.โ sukuna sits up, tossing his phone unto the coffee table. โheโs still captain of the football team. but i have a video that could change that.โ
โthe seasonโs first game, naoyaโs first official game as captainโฆโ sato thinks. โare you saying you wanna pull something?โ
โiโm thinking of playing it in the locker room TV. make the other boys lose respect for him.โ
sato and suguru look at each other again.
โboring.โ sato says.
โhuh?โ
โtoru has access to the AV booth,โ a slow grin curls its way onto suguruโs lips. โwould be a fucking shame if he and i were to mess with the feed on game day.โ
sato sits up from suguruโs lap. โlocker room TV? boring as fuck, man. the sukuna i know? heโd play whatever video he has in front of the whole fucking stadium.โ
sukuna looks at his frat brothers. at their wicked grins and stupid pride and willingness to follow him to the ends of the earth. itโs foolish, honestly. going to such lengths to destroy naoya zenin because he dared to look twice at his girl. but heโs a stupid man, and his frat brothers are even stupider, and this is what the sigma-chi brotherhood is really about.
sukunaโs lip twitches. โi fucking love you guys.โ
โwe know,โ suguru says. โand donโt ever say that shit again.โ
# GAME DAY !
LETโS GO PANDAS !
the chanting in the stadium sounds more like a roar.
the air is electricโbuzzing, vibrating. cheerleaders on the sidelines with cheeks smeared in blue & red paint. thereโs the scent of hot dogs & fried food grilling. a crowd in jerseys with flags in their hands. in the kaisen campus stadium, the midsummer air is thick with anticipation. itโs game day.
sukuna sucks the air into his lungs. he hasnโt been to the stadium in a minute.
sato has run off to get some hot dogs. suguru and toru should already be in the AV room. the pitch has no football players but marching band members instead, drums and trombones blaring music across the grass. sukuna should go over to his and satoโs seats. instead heโs on the stairs, staring down at you.
is it fair for you to look this happy with him away from you?
he shakes the thought away. he always wants you to be happyโhe thinks. but happiness with naoya? naoya zenin? heโs not quite sure about that. actually, he is. sukuna knows heโs fucking furious. he knows he doesnโt like the fact that you have naoyaโs number on your back, or the fact that youโre jumping and cheering his name when the players havenโt even walked out yet. his jaw ticks. something ugly curls in his throat. he swallows it away.
he stares a little longer. watches your skirt swish around your thighs, watches your arms wave in the air, watches your hips sway to the music. youโve clearly recovered and your dancing is out of tune as always, and sukuna bites back a smile.
heโs still smiling when you look up at him.
his face falls.
your head lifts towards him, and he doesnโt miss the way your body tenses. your arms drop to your sides. your palms curl into fists.
uh oh.
you look away, pausing for a moment. and then you trudge between bodies and make your way over to what sukuna can only assume is the concession stand.
sukuna follows. he doesnโt give himself time to think any better of it.
โโ
caramel popcorn and half-burnt sugar. the concession stand smells like caramel popcorn and half-burnt sugar.
and vanilla, but not the syrupy sweet kind. itโs the kind that sukuna smells whenever he kisses that spot below your ear, or presses his lips to the dip of your waist. at the concession stand, sukuna stands behind you with his hands in his pockets, pretending he doesnโt see the frown on your face as you stand in line in front of him.
โgo away.โ you deadpan.
โiโm here to eat.โ
โYou will choke on your food and die.โ
harsh.
sukunaโs used to it though. so when itโs your turn to get a donut, he slips out his wallet and drops some cash before you can even protest. the stand worker takes the excess money with a grin. you turn to sukuna with a frown.
โwhat are you doing?โ
your tone is mean but ryomen sukuna canโt take you seriously. your hair has ribbons tangled throughout it. you look so fucking cute.
he looks you in the eyes. โlet me check your temperature. feeling feverish? at all?โ
you only eye him in response. โstop caring about me.โ
โcanโt,โ he mutters. โlet me check it.โ
he pads closer, and youโre still glaring daggers at him, but you donโt bite his palm as it cups your face. he pats the back of his hand against your neck, then your forehead, then your chestโand then his palmโs on your cheek again.
โyou had six drinks that night,โ he murmurs, thumb stroking your cheek. โwas so worried. donโt like when you go over your limit.โ
โiโm fine,โ your voice is sharpโor trying to be. โdonโt touch me.โ
he shifts his hand into his pocket. โokay.โ he says. โiโm gonna get you back.โ
that sets you off. โiโm done with you, asshole!โ you stab your finger into his chest. โiโm seriousโno more on and off bullshit. iโve moved on. iโm with naoya, for fuckโs sake. you just canโt accept that cuz of your stupid little ego!โ
youโre still stabbing his chest. sukuna only watches you patiently, letting you yell to your heartโs content.
โand i hate you!โ you tug his collar just to shove him away again. โiโm moving on. iโm happy now. so donโt try to act like youโre still my boyfriend!โ
โsorry,โ he trails off. heโs still watching you poke him with half-lidded eyes.
โi like your ribbons,โ he murmurs. โyou look pretty.โ
โugh!โ
you storm off, and sukuna bites his cheek as your ribbons swing behind you. his hand finds the spot where you hit his chest and he sighs.
ryomen sukuna needs to get you back. and the sooner he does? the better.
โโโ-
sato gojo has five bomboclat hotdogs in his lap.
how humongous! and worst of all, he refuses to share them with sukuna, who left his own food at the concession stand while his mind fixated on your face. you looked so pretty yelling at him. fuck. has he gone mad?
he shakes the thought away. he has his phone in his hands, facetime call with suguru on screen. toru gojo is setting up a monitor in the background with shaky hands. suguru has his phone at a poor angle and heโs humming into its mic with glee.
sato hooks his mustard-sticky chin over sukunaโs shoulder. โyo, sugu.โ he says to the call.
โyo,โ
โi have five hotdogs,โ sato says humbly. โiโm saving a quarter for you.โ
โlove your generosity.โ
โthank you, brother.โ
sukuna shoves satoโs face away, ignoring the pout on his face as he rubs his still-bruised forehead. โsuguru. howโs the prep going?โ
โweโre all good here,โ suguru says, turning the call camera to face toru and the set-up. โtoru, youโre on video. say hi.โ
โuhโhi!โ
โhey, twin!โ satoโs chin is back on sukunaโs shoulder. he frowns. โi didnโt save you any hotdogs.โ
โthatโs okay,โ toru pushes up his glasses. โi donโt like hotdogs much anyways.โ
suguru laughs behind the camera. โaww. iโll get you a hotdog, buddy.โ
โguys, focus.โ sukuna pinches his nose. โthe footage. is it ready?โ
โyup,โ suguru pops the p. just waiting for your signal.โ
down on the pitch, the teams are lively.
the stadium is roaring. confetti everywhere, cheers and screams from fangirls and fanboys alike. the campus team jogs out in high spirits. and naoya zenin is there, golden boy of the season, arms in the air and waving like heโs the best thing since sliced bread. sukuna tries not to roll his eyes.
itโs a new season, and this one begins with a speech.
and who else to deliver it but the new captain, naoya? he has his helmet in his arm, grin wide, eyes gleaming. he stands on the podium with a mic to his mouth, and then he clears his throat.
his voice bellows. โGO PANDAS!โ
the crowd roars. โgo pandas!โ sato cheers along. sukuna smacks his head.
โit is my honor, as the new captain of the football team, to welcome you all to the new season. kaisen university has suffered many losses. but this year, under my lead, i swear to you allโvictory!โ
the crowd roars again. sato is smart enough to not get caught up in the high spirits this time.
naoya raises a hand to calm the crowd. โbut first off, i want to say a thank you to our alumni, sponsors, teamโโ
suguru turns the phone camera to himself, grinning. โi think this is the time?โ
โyour thinking is correct.โ
โhit it, toru.โ
toru fumbles with the control panel. he plugs in a mic, and suguru brings his mouth to the head.
โhey naoya,โ
suguruโs voice crackles through the stadium speakers. the crowd stills. the football team on the grass is frozen in confusion.
โthe alumni, sponsors, team youโre talking about,โ you can hear the smile in suguruโs voice. โis it these ones?โ
toru hits a button.
the big screen flickers.
the static shifts to a video. itโs one of those out of focus, wobbly snapchat ones, captioned โthis guyโ with a bunch of laughing emojis. someone says something in the background. naoya scoffs.
โalumni? sponsors? theyโre all a bunch of old has-beens with heart conditions,โ he spits. โlousy fuckers with too much money. yet they canโt even buy us a trophy. idiots.โ
but the video doesnโt end there. naoya is talking while he changes out of his uniform, focused on the locker in front of him. โand this shitty team,โ he bites. โdumb fuckers who would need help to wipe their asses. canโt follow instructions for shit. i see why sukuna fucking left.โ
the video ends. all thatโs left is the grey replay button on the screen. suguru shifts back away from the mic, holding his phone to his face. โholy shit,โ he says into the facetime call. โwe fucking did that.โ
โyeah,โ sukuna says. โwe did.โ
but heโs distracted. naoya is arguing with someone on field but sukuna doesnโt care to see what thatโs about. instead his eyes are on you down near the pitch, your hands gripping the stands. he canโt tell if youโre confused, distraught, happy, sad. itโs fucking killing him. he needs to see your face.
sato climbs unto his chair. he cups his hands around his mouth. โGET HIM OFF THE FIELD!โ
sukunaโs eyes widen in alarm, but others are already joining in. OFF-THE-FIELD! OFF-THE-FIELD! GET NA-O-YA OFF-THE-FIELD!โ
on the pitch, naoyaโs face flushes in embarrassment. โyou sorry sacks of shit! do you fucking know who i am?!โ
theyโll never know, because he never has the chance to tell. security guards are escorting him away before he even knows it.
sukunaโs eyes flit down the bleachers. back down to you. he finds you hopping at your seat, ribbons swishing as you chant along with the crowd.
OFF-THE-FIELD! OFF-THE-FIELD!
sukunaโs lip twitches. get him off the field.
โโโ
โOFF-THE-FIELD! OFF-THE-FIELD!โ
the chanting of the stadium is still buzzing in sukunaโs ears.
toru gojo left early, body aching with anxiety and in dire need of a nap. sukunaโs decided itโs about time to leave tooโcollege football games arenโt really his thing anymore.
suguru and sato are geeking out over the whole thing behind him as sukuna trudges forward with his hands in his pockets. heโs half-smiling. he still canโt believe the whole scene had you chanting along and hopping eagerly in your seat. so cute. your ribbons were bouncing everywhere. so fucking cute.
โthis is all your fault!โ
sukuna knows that voice anywhere.
sato and suguru know it too. the smiles quickly leave their faces, brows knitting in alarm. the three quietly speed up towards the corridor, and the scene has sukuna seeing red.
โyou dumb fucking whore,โ naoya has you cornered against the wall. โall this shit because of you and your crazy, batshit boyfriend. โdealโ my fucking asshole. you see how they embarrassed me? because of you?โ
sukunaโs already moving. but geto pulls him back. โlisten.โ
โyou canโt pin this on me,โ you try to keep your voice steady, but sukuna knows how your voice gets when youโre about to snap. naoyaโs face is too close to yours for his liking. โyouโre the one who said all that stupid shit. take some fucking responsibility.โ
โresponsibility?โ naoyaโs teeth curl. his breath is hot against your lip. โdeal my fucking ass. this was your plan all along wasnโt it, stupid bitch? date me and get closer to me so you can sabotage me along with your boyfriendโโ
โnaoya,โ your voice is dangerous. โiโm warning you, get back.โ
โor what?โ he spits in your face. โyouโll call your big bad boyfriend to save you? run to him like some stupid little whoreโ?โ
you slap naoya silly.
and for a moment, sukunaโs shoulders un-tense. heโs been holding his breath the entire time, fingers curled into the wall, suguruโs hand on his chest stopping him from charging forward. but fuck, heโs proud. thatโs his fucking girl. fuck. whyโd he have to go and lose you?
but he canโt relax for long.
โyou fucking bitch!โ
naoya shoves you against the wall and you thud against it. sukuna doesnโt have to pry getoโs hand awayโtheyโre already charging in.
naoyaโs eyes widen as soon as he sees the trio. suguru swings. sato punches. but naoya dodges both, shoulder bumping into them as he slips between the two. he should be stopped by sukunaโbut sukuna charges straight to your side, tugging you to his chest, breath heaving. naoya zenin escapes.
suguru and satoโs eyes flit towards the exit. their breathing is sharp, ragged. their eyes drift back to you in alarm. fuck. youโre more important.
sukuna hugs you to his chest, tight. his hand presses your head under his chin. he wants to pretend youโre not fucking shaking in his arms, but god you are, godโyou are.
โyouโre okay, baby,โ he lies. your hand is fisting his collar like you want to pull him closerโor maybe push him away. โyouโre okay. iโve got you, youโre okay.โ
you squeeze his collar. โryo,โ your voice is small, โdonโt go after him.โ
โi wonโt baby, swear to god i wonโt.โ
but thatโs just another lie. he presses your head further into his chest, palm heavy on your head. and then he mouths to suguru and sato:
GO. FUCKING. KILL HIM.
they donโt need to be told twice.
โryo,โ you whisper in his chest. โwhere are they going?โ
โtheyโre giving us privacy,โ he lies, and youโll hate him for it tomorrow but heโll settle for holding you today. he kisses your head. โare you hurt? hit your head? look at me.โ
he can feel your lips jut out in his chest. โiโm fine.โ
โi told you to look at me.โ
you grumble, but oblige regardless. and god, sukunaโs heart aches. you have your chin on his chest, lashes tear rimmed, cheeks flushed and lips jut out in a stubborn pout. your eyes are glistening with wet. sukunaโs jaw aches.
naoya zenin has got to go to hell.
and heโll send him there personally. he kisses your forehead, โgorgeous.โ and then his thumbs wipe your lashes. โiโm gonna check if youโre concussed. do you have a headache?โ
โthis is so stupid,โ you grumble. โiโm not concussed. and you know it.โ
sukuna ignores you, cups your face in his palms. โwhat day of the week is it?โ
โmonday.โ you grumble.
โgonna say some numbers, say them back to me in reverse,โ he strokes your cheek. โfour-two-four-two-five-six-four.โ
you say them back perfectly. sukuna kisses your forehead. โgood job baby,โ he murmurs. โsmart girl. does anything hurt?โ
โno.โ
โdonโt lie to me.โ
you rest the side of your face on his chest, pausing for a moment. then you raise a hand to grip his bicep. โmy head hurts. just a little.โ
โanything else?โ
โi was scared,โ you mutter, small. โi was so scared, ryo.โ
naoya zenin has got to go to hell.
itโs the second time sukuna thinks that, but he shakes the thought away. he squeezes your hips. tilts your chin so youโre looking up at his face. your lashes are wet & your lips are wobbly & ryomen sukuna thinks you are grace.
โshh,โ his thumb rubs your bottom lip. โyouโre safe. youโre always safe with me.โ
โi know,โ your voice croaks as you nod.
โfuck, baby,โ he murmurs as he leans down to kiss your eyelids, nose, cheek, forehead. he presses his lips to the corner of your mouth. and then he finds your lips, tongue licking your mouth before he kisses you deep and slow.
โyouโre so fucking beautiful,โ he murmurs between your lips. โmโgonna kill naoya.โ
โnoo,โ you whine, tugging his collar. โi told you not to do that.โ
sukuna kisses his teeth, stepping back so he can hoist you up into his arms. his hands dip beneath your thighs to haul you up, and now youโre peering down at him through those sad, wet lashes. he kisses the pout off your lips. squeezes your thighs with his big hands. opens his mouth to sayโ
โi knocked that sucker out the park!โ
sato and geto saunter back into the corridor, grins wicked, steps light. their knuckles are bloody and their jaws are bruised and their smiles are so bright theyโre practically gleaming.
you turn to look at them. sukuna grabs the back of your head and pushes you into his shoulder. you pout into his neck as he keeps his palm heavy on your head.
sato is shadowboxing. โright hookโleft hookโโ he punches the air. โclean hit to the jaw. taught the bloody wanker a good fucking lesson.โ he fakes a british accent.
suguru nods, hands in his pockets & smile smug. โit was a good punch.โ
โright?!โ
sukunaโs lip tugs. he clicks his tongue as sato fakes punches at suguru, suguru dodging them with lazy laughter. sukuna clears his throat. sato and suguru perk up.
โtake her to the nurse,โ his voice is low. โmake sure she doesnโt have a concussion.โ
suguru steps forward and sukuna gently moves you into his arms. you frown up at suguru. โiโm not concussed.โ
geto only chuckles, shifting your thigh over his arm to lift you better. โi donโt think so either. but your boyfriend runs a strict program, doesnโt he?โ
โex-boyfriend,โ you bite. โand heโs not stricter than me.โ
โnever,โ suguru smiles. โyouโre the strictest.โ
sukuna scoffs behind you. sato just says he likes your ribbons.
he watches the boys leave with you. sato bouncing beside geto, you still arguing in suguruโs arms. but then he thinks about naoya. thinks about how he called his girl a whore, how he had the guts to shove you against a wall instead of just taking your slap like a fucking man. his jaw locks.
his feet are already moving. but then he remembers. donโt go after him.
heโs already broken that promise, already sent sato and suguru to beat him bloody. and he trusts his frat brothers, trusts they didnโt go easy on him. but his knuckles ache. he wants to beat naoya down so fucking badly.
but he knows if he sees naoya now, it will only end in death. and sukuna wonโt be the one in the deathbed.
sukuna slams his fist into the wall. โfuck!โ
SUGURUโS REMARK: CHILLL. WE CONTROLLED THAT
EX-BOYFRIEND TACTICS #3: ON THE OFFENSE !
taught by: toji zenin
โwant your girl back? then get fucking serious. stop playing her damn games and show her whoโs the man.โ
ฮฃฮง
โi have to kill naoya zenin.โ
on toji zeninโs bedroom floor, ryomen sukunaโs jaw is tight. his hands dig into his thighs and suguru sits beside him with worried eyes. toji zenin is on the edge of his bed, running a brush through a jet black lace front wig. his son, five-and-a-half year old megumi zenin, sits beside him with a beach blond color 613 bone-straight wig on his head.
megumi tugs his fatherโs sleeve, voice flat.
โdaddy, i have a buss down.โ
toji doesnโt look up from his mannequin. โlooks great, kiddo.โ
toji zenin is twenty-four, stubble on his chin and single-ish student dad. single-ish because megumiโs mother left him when he turned twenty-one, but now heโs engaged to a pretty rich lady who sukuna still canโt believe forgave him for his lies. whateverโthatโs a story for another day. even though tojiโs girl is rich, he still insists on picking up odd jobs here and there to support him and meg rather than relying on her money. heโs currently working as a wig influencer for ISEEHAIRยฎ.
on sukunaโs right, suguru has his hair in twin braidsโcourtesy of megumi zeninโand the same kind of ribbons you wore on game dayโcourtesy of SlayedBySato. he pats sukunaโs shoulder. โhey man, itโs okay. sheโs okay.โ
โyou donโt fucking know that,โ sukuna spits. โyou donโt know it that bastard is still around her. i shouldโve fucking killed him. slammed his skull into the wall back in the stadium.โ
megumi blinks, gaze flat. he tugs his fatherโs sleeve. โdaddy, is uncle kuna okay?โ
โheโs in love,โ toji answers, reaching for the hot comb. โmakes you stupid.โ
megumi nods, blond wisps of hair sticking to his cheek. then he stares at uncle sukuna for a bit longer before sliding his chubby body off the bed. โiโm gonna lay my edges.โ
megumi zenin pads away.
suguru smiles after him. but then his smile dissolves, and he shifts his gaze back to sukuna. sukunaโs jaw is still tight, eyes glaring daggers at tojiโs bedroom floor, and suguru elbows his side. โrelax, man. broodingโs not gonna fix anything.โ
โsuguruโs right,โ toji grumbles. โsato and suguru already beat him down. that didnโt make you feel better, did it?โ
sukuna squints.
โyou want your girl back? stop playing her damn games,โ toji continues. โshow her she canโt just keep playing around. youโve embarrassed naoya, sabotaged him. all youโve done is play along with her bratty lilโ antics.โ
megumiโs voice comes from the other room. โdaddy, can you help me lay my edges?โ
โin a minute, kid.โ toji doesnโt look up from the mannequin. โyou want your girl? beat her at her own fucking game.โ
sukuna grits his teeth. suguru slings an arm around him, braids swinging. โthereโs a party for the football team tonight,โ he says. โpretty sure y/n will be there again.โ
sukuna swallows. thinks about it. and then the door swings open.
in comes sato gojo with megumi zenin in his arms. the five year old has wig edges laid, hair on fleek, and there is no doubt heโs been SlayedBySato.
satoโs grin is clumsy.
โdid someone say party?โ
# SHOW TIME !
at the party, the bass is so loud the speakers are moving.
not a lotโjust a littleโbut the sound is so loud that sato is pouting as suguru helps him cover his ears. geto yells at some footballer to turn the music down. it takes them too long to comply.
sukuna is on a couch trying to ignore the babe curling herself into his side.
pamela? noโpairin. hair dyed mauve & flushed pink cheeks & a pretty nice rackโnot that sukuna is looking. well he did look, heโs just a man and sheโs got some pretty nice tits, but itโs okay. he still thinks yours are perkier.
pairin is trailing a hand up his thigh.
โryo,โ she coos. โitโs been forever. iโve missed you.โ
it has been forever. ryomen sukuna hasnโt slept with pairin, or any other girl for that matter, since he started dating you. yes youโve broken up and gotten back together a hundred times, and technically when youโre broken up heโs a free man, but sukuna knows if he dared to touch another woman even when youโre not with him heโd never hear the end of it. so heโs always been patient. always waited.
which is why itโs not fucking fair for you to let naoya curl up behind you right now.
his eyes narrow. ryomen sukuna watches as naoya slips behind you at the bar, arm around your waist once again. fucking idiot. sukuna doesnโt even care about his arm on your waist instead of your hips anymore. once he gets his hands on naoya, he wonโt even have an arm to begin with.
but sukuna doesnโt understand it.
he knows his girl. he knows you. he knows you bark more than you bite, he knows youโre bratty and stubborn and selfish and petty, and he knows men like naoya zenin are not your fucking type. he knows you would never put up with a man who would even yell at youโhe found that out the hard way. so how could you let naoya touch you so casually after he dared to disrespect you?
are you really moving on?
heโs heard about it before. boundaries crumbling when people fall in love. is that whatโs happening here? is naoya manipulating you? are you being pressured? can he kill him?
or do you actuallyโgod forbidโlike naoya?
sukuna scoffs. fucking hell if you do. heโll kill naoya so you have no one to love. heโll be damned if the man who steals your heart after him is one that doesnโt even know how to hold you right. naoya zenin will die today. ryomen sukuna will make sure of it.
โryo,โ pairin coos. when did her tits press against his chest?
sheโs shifted so much that sheโs practically on top of him, thigh digging into his hip. sukuna kisses his teeth. โdonโt fucking call me that.โ
pairin pouts, sliding a hand down his chest. โso mean. ever since you started dating that girl, youโve become so mean to me.โ
sukuna hears a laugh. itโs you, laughing at something the bartender says. another poor man who will be joining sukunaโs kill list. or maybe not, since you seem happy. you take a sip of your drink and frown when a drop lands on your chest. so cute.
pairin lifts a hand to shift his jaw back to her face. โyouโre smiling.โ
โyeah,โ his voice is bored. โnot at you.โ
she frowns. โyou used to be fun.โ
โi used to be single.โ
he still is right now, but not for long. never for long. he watches as you take another cup from the bartender. thatโs drink number three. behind you naoya presses his face into your neck, and sukuna watches as you ease into him.
ryomen sukuna is blinded by rage.
heโs not quite thinking when he does it. heโs not quite thinking when he grabs pairin by the back of her neck, shoving her lips onto his. she squeaks, โmmphโ!โ as sukuna presses his lips against her. she tries to sneak her tongue past his lips. he keeps his mouth shut.
sukuna sees it.
he keeps his eyes open the whole time, and across the bar he watches your face lift. youโre laughing, you always are, but then your gaze drifts across the room to him.
the drink in your hand nearly drops.
you do that little thing where your chest heavesโanxious?โand your fingers curl tight around the cup in your hands. your brows furrow like youโre glaring but your lips are wobbly, oh god, theyโre so wobblyโ
he pushes pairin off his lap.
but itโs too late. youโre already off your chair, scrambling, and sukuna canโt see that well from this far but he knows your eyes are wet. he saw that tear slip down your cheek. he bolts for the exit but someone pulls him back by the shoulderโ
โsukuna?โ satoโs brows are knit. โwhat the fuck? whatโs wrong man?โ
sukunaโs chest is still heaving. his eyes are still on the door.
ryomen sukuna has lost the girl once again.
TOJIโS REMARK: NOT THAT KIND OF OFFENSE, IDIOT.
EX-BOYFRIEND TACTICS #4: SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE !
taught by: sato gojo
โgirls like y/n? they like to keep things difficult. and your prefer it just like that, donโt you?โ
ฮฃฮง
ryomen sukuna hasnโt left his room in days.
two weeks. itโs been two weeks since he kissed another girl and watched you leave with tears in your eyes. and sukunaโs disgusted. stomach against the mattress and head buried in a pillow. youโre pretty when you cryโyouโre always prettyโbut not so much when heโs the cause of your tears.
SlayedBySato is officially blocked by you on instagram. satoโs tried to come in to cheer sukuna up, but to no avail. sukuna wonโt eat anything suguru cooks, or any food at all for that matter. megumi sometimes opens his door and stares at him with bored eyes before leaving. toru comes into his room to sit on the floor and read. heโs always shaky & anxious and glancing up at sukuna every five seconds when he does that, but he still comes in to offer his company anyways.
sukunaโs scrolling through his phone, eyes watching nothing in particular. he gets a notification. probably suguru offering him food. maybe just team snapchat. he ignores it. but then his phone chimes again.
[ mine๐ซ: OBLIGATIONS.docx ]
sukunaโs brows knit. you have him blocked. that canโt be you.
but he clicks the message anyways. and it is you, and the first thing that greets him is your profile picture. youโre smiling big into the camera, angle low & silly, and somehow you still manage to look bright and beautiful. sukuna swallows. scrolls down to your new messages.
mine๐ซ: i know what you did at that party was just to get my attention.
mine๐ซ: since u wanna be pathetic iโll give you more opportunity to do so
mine๐ซ: OBLIGATIONS.docx
sukuna clicks the document. there are no greetings, no โto whom may be concernedโ, no date or titles. just three things.

his phone chimes again.
mine๐ซ: you have one week. if you want me back youโll complete everything on this list. if u dc just ignore it.
mine๐ซ: bye sukuna.
sukuna stares at the list. studies every word. contemplates each task.
and then he laughs.
yeah. thatโs his fucking girlfriend.
# SHOW TIME
sukuna trudges into the frathouse living room with his laptop under his arm. at the center table sato is already there, humming contentedly while playing a game of monopoly by himself. he perks up when he hears the sound of the door.
โwell, well,โ sato sings. โlook who crawled out of my grandfatherโs ass.โ
โwhat does that even mean?โ
โignore him,โ suguru hums. he steps out from the kitchen with a plate of steaming hot jollof rice in his hands. he scoops some with his spoon, blows on it, and offers a bite to sukuna. โhere, try some.โ
โmm,โ sukuna murmurs, leaning down for a bite. itโs hot, chewyโbut then sukuna frowns.
โthereโs no maggi in this rice.โ
getoโs face falls. โno more food for you.โ
whatever. sukuna sits at the center table, setting up his laptop right over satoโs monopoly game. he ignores satoโs protests as he opens up your shopping cart. โshe sent me a list.โ he announces. โof stuff i have to do if i want her back.โ
suguru slides in at the opposite side of the table, brows raised. โshow us.โ

sato blinks at the screen. โdick nโ balls,โ he smiles wide. โi love your girlfriend.โ
โtread lightly.โ
suguru squints at the last item. โthis is bad. sheโs saying she wants you to confess in front of the whole school? like on game day?โ his eyes lift to sukuna. โthe dean might actually suspend you if we pull something. you know how much trouble i got in when they heard my voice on the speakers?โ
โi had to pay him out of trouble,โ sato shudders. โand it wasnโt cheap.โ
sukuna frowns. if satoโs complaining? it definitely wasnโt cheap.
but sukuna only opens up your cart, taking in the items on screen. heโs not surprised when he scrolls through the items. lingerie from bordelle & agent provocateur, bags from dior and bottega vennetta, shoes, makeupโthe high end kindโand then a bunch of sex toys, also unnecessarily overpriced. his lips tug when he notices a pair of lacy black panties. he already knows thatโs for him.
or it could be for naoya to fuck you in, so his face falls.
sato slumps against sukunaโs shoulder. โwow. pricey stuff.โ
โshe likes nice things,โ he mutters, double checking the items. he makes sure everything is in CAD and not USD, and then he checks out. nearly $5000 on clothing, accessories, lingerie. CIBC sends him a notification for possible fraud on his card immediately. he clicks no, this was me.
suguru whistles. โwell, thatโs that.โ he leans back on his palms. โon to task number two?โ
โโ
sukuna taps his pencil against the paper in front of him. โhow do i spell exquisite.โ
โe-s-q, u-z-t,โ sato answers proudly. โall you have to do is sound out the vowels. i learned that trick back in freshman year.โ
โthere are no vowels in what you just spelled.โ
suguru drags a palm over his face. he watches as sato strokes his chin, both he and sukuna staring at the half-empty letter with intense focus. heโs not sure whether to start with explaining to sato that this is not the spelling of exquisite, or if he should let sukuna know that โeโ and โuโ are indeed vowels.
he chooses to do neither. โsukuna, what do you need the word โexquisiteโ for?โ
โi need to tell her her ass is exquisite.โ
โin her apology letter?โ
โYes.โ
oh, okay. actually noโitโs not okay. suguru pinches his nose. โthis is an apology letter. what does her ass have to do with this?!โ
โshe likes when i say nice things about her body,โ sukuna mumbles, low. geto softens. thatโs actually sweet.
โiโm gonna tell her i like her nipples.โ
suguru snatches the letter from his hands.
he makes the mistake of letting his eyes drop to the poorly written text, and heโs reading it in his head before he can think any better of it: Hello, I am sorry. Your ass is esquizit. Come back to me. Nipples.
โjesus fucking christ,โ suguru breathes.
sukuna scowls at him. โyou didnโt let me finish the last sentence.โ
sato hugs his knees. โi like this letter.โ
suguru ignores them. he puts the letter aside, and tears out a new sheet of paper from the notepad on the table. โlook, ryomen. i know youโre not good with words. and i know y/n itโs important to you. so weโre gonna help you.โ
sato leans back on his palms. โyup, we are.โ
โi meant iโm gonna help him,โ suguru glares at sato. โtell me whatโs on your mind. what you think. what you feel in your chest when you think about her. if she looked you in the eye and told you she was upset about all youโve done, what would you say to her?โ
sukuna scowls at nothing in particular, pondering. โiโd kiss her.โ
โthatโs what you would do,โ suguru wags his pencil. โwhat would you say?โ
sukuna thinks a bit harder. he thinks about how you look when youโre sad, how you donโt laugh, how your bottom lip juts out in that wobbly pout that makes his stomach hurt. he thinks about how youโd cuss at him before the tears fall, and then youโd grip his collar while spitting teary insults, before collapsing in his chest and letting him kiss your cheek till you quiet down. sukuna thinks very hard.
โiโd tell her iโm sorry,โ he says. โand that i hate it when she cries.โ
suguru nods. โgo on,โ
โiโd tell her i was scared,โ he murmurs. โof her moving on. of her finding someone better.โ he breathes. โi donโt want her to be with anyone thatโs not me.โ
suguru and sato stay silent.
โi donโt even care about naoya,โ sukunaโs voice is tired. his palm slides over his face. โi just want her to be with me.โ
โaww,โ sato coos.
โshut up.โ
but sukuna doesnโt shove sato away when he leans over to hug his head. sato pats sukunaโs face into his chest. โsuguru,โ sukuna mutters. โcan you say that i miss her?โ
โalready did.โ
suguru turns the paper around to reveal the words. sukuna squints to make out the words behind the pretty cursive.
dear y/n,
i know i've said sorry a thousand times. i know it doesn't mean much coming from me. but i mean it. i'm sorry for the party. i'm sorry for kissing someone else. i'm sorry for making you cry. i hate it when you cry, hate when i make you sad. i hate it when you look at me like you don't trust me anymore.
i was scared. scared you were moving on. scared you were finding someone better. i was scared i was losing you for good.
i don't care about naoya. i don't care about other women. i don't care about any of it. i just want you.
i want to earn you back. i want to earn your trust. i want to be the person you deserve.
i love you. i've never loved anyone else like you. i don't want to love anyone else. please give me a chance to prove it.
โ sukuna
sukuna blinks at the letter. โi sound pathetic.โ
โyou are pathetic,โ suguru sets it down. โfor y/n at least.โ
he is, isnโt he?
suguru taps his pencil against the table. โso, do you like it? or shall we draft a new one?โ
sukuna thinks about it. sato is still patting his head.
โnah,โ he says. โitโs perfect.โ
SATOโS REMARK: OH WEโRE SO GETTING HER BACK
EX-BOYFRIEND TACTICS #5: HAVE YOU EVER APOLOGIZED WITH YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE ?!
taught by: nanami kento
โthis is the stupidest plan iโve ever heard.โ
ฮฃฮง
the letter is done. the shopping cart is cleared. but the boys of sigma chi canโt rest just yet.
they do so anyway. suguru is sprawled lazily on the couch, legs spread and popcorn bucket in his hands. sato has his cheek on getoโs chest, curled up beside him. and even sukuna is leaning into the warmth, legs crossed on the floor and his head against suguruโs leg. the tv is playing something none of them truly care about.
suguru takes a bite of popcorn, teeth sticky. โhow the fuck are we gonna pull off the last task?โ
sato tosses a kernel into sukunaโs open mouth. โi have no idea.โ
suguru pops another kernel between his lips, and then feeds a bite through satoโs open mouth on his chest. โbefore we even get to thatโiโve been thinking. what about that deal naoya mentioned? back in the stadium?โ
sato and sukuna perk up.
sukunaโs jaw ticks again. heโs tried not to think about it. tried not to think about how naoya dared to raise his voice at you, how he dared to shove you back in his anger. he licks his canines. his chest is hot.
โiโve been thinking about it too,โ sato says. โ i have a theory.โ
โuh oh.โ
โdonโt be mean,โ sato pouts, and suguru pulls his cheek lovingly. he leans off suguruโs chest, palms still on his shoulders for balance. โmy theory? y/n wants to make sukuna jealous. naoya wants him jealous too. boom. they work together and date.โ
suguru nods. โbut now, naoya thinks y/n is dating him so she and sukuna can work together to trash his reputation,โ he muses. โand so heโs treating her badly.โ
sukunaโs nails dig into his palms.
he knew you wanted him jealousโthatโs obvious. but the thought of his stupid antics putting you in danger? with naoya? fuck. youโre a sharp girl. but youโre all bark and no bite. what the fuck is he supposed to do if naoya even thinks of disrespecting you again?
he speaks up. โback at the party. the one we went to after the game,โ he bites his cheek. โi saw her with him again. thatโs why i got mad. kissed that pamela bitch.โ
โpairin.โ
โi donโt give a fuck.โ sukuna grumbles. โbut thatโs not what tripped me up. she was with naoya againโeven after how he treated her.โ his fingers dig into the couch. โshe drags me by the ear when i raise my voice just slightly. why would she stay by naoya after all that? just to make me jealous?โ
geto thinks out loud. โwhat if he has something on her?โ
the boys go quiet.
for you to stay with someone like naoya, genuine or not? sukuna knows it must be something serious. he leans off the couch, turns to his boys.
โwe need to start planning that final task.โ
# SHOW TIME !
โkenny,โ suguru begs. โplease. we need your help.โ
nanami pushes up his glasses. โimmediately no.โ
the theatre hall is humongous.
thousands of students fitted into velvet seats. thereโs some ceremony todayโwhat itโs about, sukuna doesnโt knowโbut he knows itโs the only opportunity he has to fulfill your last task. the next gameday is a week away, past the one week timeframe you specified.
sukuna also knows youโre in the crowd. heโd seen you sitting close to the front. right next to naoya.
god, you looked gorgeous. low cut top that exposes your plush breasts because you have no sense of time and place. skirt short as always, bunched up around your thighs, and lashes fluttering. bored. you looked hopelessly bored and beautiful next to naoya, and it wasnโt till shoko slipped into the seat beside you that your glossy lips smiled again. fuck. sukuna hopes heโll get to speak to you soon.
but right now, he and the boys are trying to convince nanami to let him show up on stage in place of presenting his speech.
theyโre all backstage. sigma chi treasurer nanami kento is sat at a makeshift desk, tie pin straight, expression flat as usual. โi will not allow you to take over my speech in the name of love and sacrifice. this is the stupidest plan iโve ever heard.โ
โnanaken, youโre not listening,โ sato shakes his shoulders. โthis is a matter of life and deathโour last chance to help sukuna get his girl back.โ sato pleads. โif we donโt succeed, heโll be depressed!โ
โi wonโt be depressed.โ
โheโll be depressed!โ
nanami only pinches his nose.
โlook,โ suguru starts, leaning over the table with his palms. โletโs make a deal. you let us crash your speech? sato buys you all the BL manhwa you want.โ
nanami perks up. โBL?โ
sato frowns. โsato?โ
โexactly,โ suguru says. โi know youโre tired of reading semantic error on a screen. weโll get you all the physical copiesโand whatever other BL you have on your reading list. all you have to do is let us crash your set.โ
nanami thinks about it. thinks about how nice itโd be to see jang jaeyoung on a page, how heโd be able to have the story right there between his fingertips. he thinks about it. ponders hard.
and then he nods. โyouโve got yourselves a deal.โ
โโ
each speech passes by way too fast.
well honestly, not fast enough. the audience is snoozing. they forget to clap after some speeches, and in the crowd sukuna can see you watching, bored. you have your head against shokoโs shoulder, phone in your hands. a man in a suit walks up to the stage to remind the audience of โetiquetteโ and โkeeping their phones awayโ. you roll your eyes and take a selfie with shoko, lips puckered out.
god, he misses you.
he closes the backstage curtains. suguru is waving his speech around. โyouโre up next, man. you ready?โ
sukuna swallows. why the fuck does he feel anxious? sukuna doesnโt do anxious. angry? horny? yes. but anxious?
he swipes the speech from suguruโs hands. โyeah. mโready.โ
โโโ
sukuna is not ready.
but heโs not anxious either, so thatโs a win. his bodyโs vibrating with something he canโt quite name. the audience is clapping away as the current presenter leaves.
suguru claps his back. โgo.โ
and go he does. he rips the velvet curtains apart and trudges his way to the podium. his hands are in his pockets and his gaze is bored and through the corner of his eyes all he can see is you you you.
you, with your brows furrowed and lips in a pout he wants to kiss off. you stare after him with big eyes, before your eyes go even bigger. he watches you facepalm.
that shouldnโt make him laugh. he sets his speech on the podium.
in the audience, shoko is nudging your shoulder. โgirl. isnโt that your man?โ
naoya turns to frown at her. โexcuse me?โ
you and shoko ignore him. โi have no idea what heโs up to.โ you lie.
on the podium sukuna clears his throat. the TVs overhead are zoomed in on his face. his hair is golden-red under the lights, and sweat glistens on his skin, and sukuna takes in a deep breath.
โmy name is ryomen sukuna, and iโm the previous captain of the pandas football team.โ
some people whistle and cheer. others watch in silent confusion. naoya is gritting his teeth beside you and shoko is squeezing your thigh.
โiโm here to make a confession in light of recent events within our campus community,โ sukuna murmurs into the mic. god, fuck geto suguru and his pretty cursive. sukuna canโt read shit.
โat the first game of the season,โ sukuna clears his throat. โthere was a video broadcast that interrupted the flow of the ceremony. i profusely apologize for that,โ he says. โi was the one responsible.โ
gasps fill the arena.
โitโs unsportsmanlike, i know.โ he adjusts the mic. โwhether the contents of the video are honest or not, to broadcast them during the ceremony was uncalled for and inappropriate. i had no good or honest intentions behind it.โ he grits his teeth, eyes leaving the script.
โi wanted to embarrass naoya.โ
the crowd is silent, and sukuna finds your eyes.
youโre looking right at him with an expresssion he canโt make out. beside you naoya is there, arm around your seat, and anger seeps into his chest. naoya has a black eyeโheโll have to thank suguru and sato for that. heโll also have to give him a matching one on his left eye.
he continues his speech.
โnaoya zenin, captain of the pandas, stole my girlfriend.โ he spits into the mic. โso i chose to embarrass him publicly. thatโs it. thatโs my reason.โ
the audience is muttering, talking amongst themselves. some people have their phoneโs up, recording. some are enraged. some girls are swooning.
โy/n l/nโfuck,โ he spits into the mic, gaze bleary. heโs gripping the podium with both arms now, head down and away from the cameras. โevil fucking girl,โ he murmurs.
โyou donโt want him, baby,โ he breathes against the mic.
โcome back to me.โ
the theatre is silent.
and then it roars
single ladies. girlfriends. boyfriends. members of the football team who miss life under sukunaโs reign. theyโre all cheering for him, loud and unrestrained. clapping as sukuna grips the podium with his eyes on the hardwood. the headlights flash on his face and he squints to look past them, eyes lifting towards the audience.
youโre not at your seat.
why?
did you miss the end of the speech? sukuna blames himself. he didnโt even have the guts to look up at you as he breathed out the last line, and now heโll never know if you heard the very words heโs been wanting to say. sukuna almost laughs. his eyes are hot but he almost laughs.
the audience is still roaring. sukuna rips his speech off the podium and walks off the stage.

โค๏ธโ
when sukuna trudges through the curtains, sato and suguru are already there.
faces flushed, chests heaving. โholy fucking shitโโ suguru pulls sukunaโs head into his arms. โyou fucking did that.โ
he did. so why does he feel so damn empty?
sato is practically bouncing, worming his way into the hug. โyou did that!โ he cheers. โdid you see y/nโs face? was she cheering tooโ?โ
โshe left.โ
sato and suguru freeze.
suguru pulls away first. sukunaโs face is dull, downcastโand his eyes are dark and soulless. โoh noโโ suguru mutters. he holds sukunaโs face. โdid you see when she left?โ
โno,โ he murmurs. no, he didnโt.
โfuck,โ sato curses. โfucking hell, manโisnโt this low? even for her?โ
suguru pulls sukunaโs head back under his chin. sukuna doesnโt resist or protest. just stares at the wood floor with empty eyes. but then a voice calls his name.
โryomen sukuna. are you brooding?โ
if god liked him, it wouldโve been you. standing there in your short skirt and skimpy top and a teasing smile on your lips. mocking his misery. grinning up at him.
but instead itโs shoko ieri, brown hair under a bucket hat.
under normal circumstances, heโd be happy to see her. sukuna likes most of your friends. theyโre all pretty party girls like you, a bunch of twenty-something year olds who think life is about bourbon glasses and friday mornings passed out in the backseat of someoneโs car. theyโre wild but theyโre all nice girls, and theyโre good to you so thatโs fucking that.
but he doesnโt want to see your friends. sukuna wants to see you.
suguru brushes sukunaโs hair back. โshoko. to what do we owe the pleasure?โ
โrelax, geto. iโm not here to cause trouble,โ she hums, leaning against a beam. โjust here to pass across a message.โ
she muses. โbackstage dressing room. one-hundred two, not hundred and one,โ shoko recites. โi have to leave now, but donโt be late. and sukuna,โ she pauses to look at him. โno backup. just you.โ
she turns away with a lilt in her steps, and the boys of sigma chi are left staring at each other in confusion. the message is clear though, and sukuna wipes his face.
room 102. got it.
# SHOW TIME !
ryomen sukuna comes in alone.
the door to room 102 pushes open with a creaak. the dressing room is racks and racks of clothing, some on the floor, some strewn across tables, and mirrors upon mirrors. the vanities still have their lights glowing orange. the room smells like rust and girl.
sukuna finds you in front of a mirror.
youโre checking yourself out, neon pink feather boa around your shoulders. on your head is a comically large sun hat, and thereโs a bright green belt flung around your waist. you donโt look up when he walks in. just shift your hips in the mirror, skirt swishing around your thighs.
โyou like my outfit?โ you hum, still facing the mirror.
you look silly. if he was in a better mood, heโd probably smile. but instead he trudges forward and leans back against the table behind you. โyeah. looks cute.โ
โhmm,โ you fit your hands over your hips. โi still feel like itโs missing something.โ
sukuna stays quiet.
you walk over to a bunch of boxes, pulling out all sorts of costume pieces. your tone is sing-song. โi heard your little speech.โ
sukuna plays with the bracelet on his wrist. itโs not a bracelet. itโs one of your bra straps, actually, and heโd forgotten he put it on before the speech. itโs suddenly itchy against his wrist. โyou liked it?โ
โi thought it was cute,โ you hum, inspecting a tie. you walk over to him, and sukuna spreads his legs a bit so you can slip between his thighs. you hold the tie up to him. โcan you help me?โ
he takes the tie from your hands. fits it over your neck quietly. heโs folding the ribbon around your neck, pretending he canโt feel your breath on his lips.
he murmurs, โi donโt understand what youโre doing, baby.โ
his palm leaves your tie to cup your cheek. your gloss smudges against his palm. โwhat do you mean? iโm getting dressed up.โ
his thumb strokes your cheek. โplease donโt play dumb.โ
you snuggle into his palm, humming contentedly. sukunaโs thumb still strokes your cheek. his other hand has come up squeeze your hip, then snake around it, then pull you closer into him.
โiโm sorry,โ he breathes against your lips.
โfor what?โ
โfor kissing another girl,โ he murmurs. โfor even looking at her. for being difficult. always giving you a reason to turn around and leave, then begging you to come back.โ he cups your face.
โi love you. iโve never loved any girl the way i love you.โ
you trail a palm down his chest. โcome back to me,โ you repeat his speech.
โcome back,โ he murmurs, hands sliding up your spine. โcome back to me, baby.โ
you giggle as he leans closer to steal your lips. ryomen sukuna tastes like strawberry and spearmint.
Y/NโS REMARK: GUESS WHOโS BACK <3
COUPLE TACTICS #1 : DICKMEDOWNโWHO SAID THAT?!
taught by: ryomen sukunaโs cock
โthere is no quote. i am a cock.โ
โค๏ธโ
in ryomen sukunaโs bedroom, he has his back against the headboard and his girlfriend in his lap.
youโre half naked. clad in nothing but a lacy bra and matching black panties, giggling as you pose into his macbook camera. you lift another bra up to check it against your chest. ryomen sukuna squeezes your thigh.
โyou like this one?โ he murmurs behind you, reaching his hand up to grope your breast. โwasnโt in the cart. added it myself.โ
โitโs so pretty,โ you coo, lashes fluttering. โthank you, ryo.โ
โyouโre welcome, princess.โ
itโs just two days after the whole speech at the theatre. ryomen sukuna watches you with bleary eyes. he leans back against the headboard, watching as you shrug off your bra to try another one he bought. he reaches up to graze his thumb over your pebbled nipple and you giggle, before sliding backwards to lean back against his chest. he squeezes your tits in his palms before kissing your cheek.
โlove this set,โ he murmurs against your ear. heโs twisting your nipple in one hand & the other is already sliding down over your belly, down to your lacy black panties. โso pretty on you.โ
โmmh,โ your thighs squeeze as his hand slips below the fabric, finding your wet, aching clit. he rubs the pad of his thumb over it in circles. kisses your cheek again when you whine.
โmissed you,โ he murmurs. โso bad, pretty.โ
โmhm,โ you breathe. you want to bite back with something sassy but ryomen sukuna is kneading your breast while his thumb fingers your clit. he slips in another finger and rolls the bud between them. your thighs squeeze around him.
โryo,โ you purr. โyouโre gonna get them dirty.โ
โi know,โ he shushes you. โjust wanna feel you.โ
and feel you he does. he pushes your body up on his chest and latches his hot mouth around your nipple. โmmhโ,โ he groans, tongue swirling around the pebbled peak. โfuck, missed this.โ
his fingers rub harder against your clit. faster, faster, until your hips arch of the bed and your thighs shake around him. he can already see slick coating your inner thighs, and your moans in his ear only make him rub harder. โfuck,โ he curses. fuck fuck fuck.
your lashes go sticky with tears. your clit is wet and throbbing around his fingers. your thighs shake as you reach your high, and sukuna has to shove his lips to yours to quiet your moans. he licks his tongue into your mouth, hot and wet and sloppy, palm settling to gently rub your clit through your high.
you gasp, pulling away. your lashes are sticky & your cheeks flushed hot. โi missed you.โ
he kisses you again, soft. โmissed you too.โ
he slips your panties off your thighs, holding your naked body against him. โmissed this pussy too,โ he rasps. โgonna stuff you till youโre cumming on my cock.โ
you squirm against him, swatting his chest as he unzips his trousers. โbut i just came!โ
โyouโll come again, pretty.โ
he fumbles with the zipper, slipping out his heavy, hard cock. his cockhead is throbbing and sticky with precum, and he shifts you forward so your back is against his chest.
โgo slow,โ you whimper, already nervous.
he kisses your shoulder. โyou donโt want that.โ
and you donโt. you arch into him as he slips his cock into your puffy, slick-coated folds from behind. he smears precum and slick over them with his cockhead, kissing your shoulder as you shiver against him. โrelax, youโre okay. you still on the pill, baby?โ
you nod shyly. he kisses your neck.
sukunaโs cock is thick. heavy and swollen and pulsing between your slobbering foods. he pushes his hips into you, letting your pussy squelch around him, and his arm fits under your body so he can grope your perky breasts. he tugs on a nipple before rolling it between his fingers. fuck.
you whimper as his cock stretches you out, sliding deeper and deeper into your folds. โfuck,โ he breathes against your ear. โyouโre so fucking hot. so tight. so wet.โ
you whimper as his fingers find your clit again. he circles it hard, hips bucking to push his cock deeper into you before sliding back out, palms still fondling your breasts. itโs too much, itโs too fucking much, and he can hardly blame you for whining against him. โryoโโ
โshhโyouโre good, youโre doing so good,โ he rasps as you clench around his cock. โso fucking good. you know how good you feel around my cock, baby? mโso fucking luckyโ.โ
heโs shushing you but his hips only buck faster and faster. your eyes squeeze shut as he breathes. โfuck, gonna cumโโ
your walls quiver around him as you come together, white hot cum stuffed between your folds. you groan, ragged, as sukuna pants into your neck. he kisses your shoulder before resting his head against your neck.
โi love you,โ he rasps.
โi love you too.โ
you stay like that for a moment, holding each other before he kisses your shoulder. โletโs get you cleaned up.โ
โโ
โyou have a lot of explaining to do.โ
sukuna comes back with new shorts hanging low on his v-line. he has a warm cloth in his hands, and he climbs over your sore body. even now youโre still smiling up at him, lashes fluttering, cheeks flushed. โwhatever do you mean?โ
โdonโt play dumb,โ he kisses your cheek before gently nudging your thighs open. he slides the cloth down your inner thigh, ignoring the way you reach up to thread your fingers through his hair. โyou have to explain. why you went to naoya.โ
โbut what if i donโt want to?โ
โyou will,โ he says. he slides your panties up your thighs, pressing a kiss to your clit before slipping them all the way up.
but then he changes his mind. slips your panties down again.
โryomen.โ youโre already sitting up.
โrelax,โ he mutters against your puffy cunt. โlean back for me.โ
you sigh, doing as he says. he licks a stripe up your glistening folds. he can taste himself on your stuffed cunt but his tongue keeps moving regardless. he pulls back, lips glistening with slick.
โyouโre gonna tell me exactly what your fucking plan was,โ he sucks on your bud, letting go with a pop. โwhy i saw you again with naoya after he dared to fucking talk to you like that.โ
โso strict,โ you whimper, cheeks puffed as your hips arch into him. โi can date anyone i want.โ
โno,โ sukuna hisses. โyou can only date me.โ
โmmhโโ you moan as his tongue slobbers over your glossy folds. you run your fingers through his hair as your pussy drools onto his tongue. โmmhโwanted to make you mad,โ
โyou did good,โ he sticks a finger into your cunt and you gasp, loud. heโs knuckles deep now, pumping his finger in and out of you. โhahโwanted you jealous,โ you moan. โwe were gonna get revenge.โ
his fingers curl so hard you cry his name.
you whimper and he ignores it. โwas already jealous. whyโd you go back to him after he touched you?โ
he curls his fingers again. โahโ! sorry, iโm sorry,โ you cry, lashes wet. feels so good. โwe werenโt dating for real. just showed up in public together. he said we couldnโt stop, said if we did that meant you won,โ you whimper. โhe apologized, let me punch him. i gave him aโhnnghโblack eye.โ
ah. so the black eye naoya had wasnโt from sato and suguru.
sukuna swirls his tongue over your clit, lapping and sucking as he pumps another finger into your drooling pussy. he curls them until heโs pressing into that spongy part that makes you sob, and he sucks gingerly as your pussy sputters and spits slick into his mouth. โryoโmโgonna cumโโ
your thighs shake, walls clenching. sukuna pumps his fingers in faster, letting your thighs squeeze his neck. you cum over his mouth, right around his fingers, and sukuna kisses your puffy, still-sensitive clit.
when he looks up at you, youโre glaring. eyes glistening wet, cheeks flushed. pretty.
โwhat?โ he says.
โyouโre so mean,โ you frown. โyou see why i break up with you?โ
sukuna huffs, climbing over your figure. when heโs right above you, you tug his neck down.
โi love you,โ you mumble.
he kisses your lips. โi love you too.โ
COCKโS REMARK : *HARDENS*
EX-BOYFRIEND TACTICS #6: BREAK THE CYCLE !
taught by: ryomen sukuna
โloving you is a loop.โ
ฮฃฮง
in toru gojoโs room of his apartment, the boys of sigma chi are all there. ohโand you too, of course.
sato is fast asleep on his twinโs bed, laid down & drooling on suguruโs shoulder beside him. suguru is tapping at his nintendo switch with furious speed. toru is cooking up something in the kitchen. and on his PC, you and sukuna are there, suguruโs sims 4 game loaded up on screen.
youโre on sukunaโs lap, his arm looped around your hips as you rant about the many tribulations you had to endure while โdatingโ naoya. youโre customizing sukunaโs sim for your save file, and said man is doing nothing but rubbing your thighs and pressing lazy kisses to your skin.
โโand he leaves his boxers everywhere!โ you exclaim, scrolling through getoโs CC folder. โi had to come over after he had practice once and they were everywhere. itโs that bad!โ
โmhm,โ sukuna kisses your neck, love drunk & bleary-eyed. โso bad, baby.โ
โheโs so unhygienic,โ you shift in sukunaโs lap, and he squeezes your hips to keep you steady. โi told him to at least clean up if he knows iโm coming over. he said no!โ
sukuna nuzzles your ear, squeezes your thigh. โmm. mโgonna kill him.โ
โno you will not! stop threatening murder!โ
sukuna looks up. youโve turned your head over your shoulder to glare at him, and he looks up at you through bleary eyes. your cheeks are warm. lashes fluttering. youโre the prettiest headache heโs ever had.
he kisses your jaw. โmissed fighting with your pretty face,โ he murmurs. โgimme a kiss, baby.โ
you soften, and he leans up to kiss you deep.
โwoahโโ suguru throws a pillow at you both. sukuna swats it away from you without pulling back from your lips. he squeezes your waist and geto frowns. โeven if satoโs asleep, iโm still fucking here!โ
sukuna ignores him, his hand crawling up to grope your tits. suguru scowls, turns over to face satoโs sleeping figure. he shouldโve known protesting was futile. sukunaโs always been an exhibitionist, but youโd think his therapy sessions wouldโve taught him better by now.
sukuna pulls back, your gloss smeared over his lip & chin. you giggle at the sight, โhi.โ
โmmh,โ he nuzzles your neck.
the door swings open, snapping you and sukuna out of your daze. in comes toru gojo with a plate of lazy cake, glasses slipping down his nose. he blushes when he sees you and sukuna pressed close together. โhi. i made snacks.โ
โoh, toru!โ you purr. โyouโre my favorite, have i told you that?โ
toru sets down the plate on the desk in front of you. as he leans down you press a kiss to his cheek, and he blushes so hard his face turns beet red. he looks up, surprised, and youโre beaming at him. behind you, sukuna is scowling.
toru drops the plate and runs away.
you turn back to glare at sukuna. โyou scared him.โ
โno oneโs allowed to kiss you.โ
โi kissed him!โ
sukuna ignores your protests, trying to cup your jaw so he can get a kiss of his own. you shove his face back, and he scowls.
โgo apologize to toru,โ you frown at him. โnow.โ
sukuna wants to protest. wants to say heโs comfortable right here with your thighs over his lap and your lipgloss on his chin. but he knows if he fights back heโll be left with nothing but a sore earlobe & an angry girlfriend. he grumbles as you slide off him.
sukuna trudges to the kitchen, says his apologies. toru accepts them in a heartbeat.
when he comes back to the room, youโre gone.
โwhere is she?โ his heart drops. โsuguruโwhere is she?โ
โchill,โ suguru mumbles, eyes never leaving his switch. โshe left you a letter. check on the desk.โ
and next to toruโs plate of dessert, a letter is indeed there. he picks it up, thumb running over the paper. youโve left a glossy kiss mark at the end.
โdear sukuna,โ it reads.
โiโm breaking up with you.โ
sukunaโs blood runs cold.
โi know we just got back together a week ago. but i thought about it! thought about how iโm becoming a better woman, growing in my spiritual journey. do i really want a jealous man who scares away my friends by my side??
so i decided: letโs break up. for real this time. itโs not you, itโs me. maybe if weโre truly meant to be, the stars will align and our paths will cross yet again. but for now? i have to choose me and my growth. so iโm leaving. for good.
i still love you though!! youโll always be my lover <3 i love you soso much baby boy. i donโt even want to do this. but i know i have to make the right choice for both of us.
sorry to walk away like this. and donโt forget, you are not allowed to date any other woman!!! i am the only woman for you!! always and forever!! no dating, sex, kissing, touching, NOTHING. if i find out you even LOOK at another woman iโll hate you forever!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay, thatโs all. goodbye forever. iโll always love you ryo <333333 iโm sorry it had to end this way.โ
sukuna stares at the letter. he reads it once. twice. then once more.
and then he laughs.
because this is his girlfriend, bratty and high-maintenance and demanding and all. because you say goodbye forever, but he knows heโll see you next week. he knows tonight youโll call and say you miss his voice and afterwards youโll send him a text saying youโre still not getting back with him and will be blocking him as a final goodbye. he knows youโll unblock him on a random wednesday and wonโt text, and heโll just have to keep sending messages till they donโt turn green and he can ask you to come back to him.
and youโll say yes. you always do. and if thereโs anything or anyone who stops you from saying yes, heโll crush them.
he rubs his thumb over the bottom of the letter. your glossy kiss mark is there.
and right beside it?

โฎ โ โ ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฒ ! | okay first off, WHY is this SO FUCKIN EMOTIONAL for no absolute reason. damn. consider this a 1000 follower special! likes & reblogs are appreciated! ๐นญ
the thought settles deep in your chest like a stone, familiar and heavy, as you lie on the silk sheets of the massive bed.
your fingers trace the embroidered patterns on your robeโsome floral design you can't see but can feel beneath your fingertips. the fabric is soft, expensive. everything here is expensive. everything here screams luxury and power and wealth.
but none of it screams love.
you hear nothing from his side of the bed.
the man is so impossibly quiet, it makes your skin prickle with unease. you've been here for three months now. three months as the wife of ryomen sukuna, the king of curses, the most feared ruler in all the lands. and in those three months, he has barely spoken a word to you.
at first, you thought it was a game.
some twisted test of patience. you were clever enough to know that political marriages were rarely about love. you'd been prepared for indifference, for coldness, for a husband who saw you as nothing more than a strategic alliance.
but this? this silent treatment that stretches night after night, this deliberate distance he keeps?
it cuts deeper than you expected.
your hand moves from your robe to your stomach, pressing against the plane of your belly. you're small. you know this. delicate in a way that makes people underestimate you. and blind. gods, the blindness. the one thing that has sent every single suitor running in the opposite direction.
princes would see your face firstโthe one they called ethereal, otherworldly, beautiful in a way that seemed impossibleโand they'd fall to their knees.
they'd whisper sweet words, promises of devotion, declarations of love at first sight. and then you'd speak, and they'd realize your eyes didn't track their movements, didn't meet their gaze. and slowly, painfully, you'd listen to them pull away. hear the hesitation creep into their voices. feel the distance grow until they were gone.
you were used to it.
but sukuna? sukuna had looked at you once, for a single moment, and said yes. the entire empire had been shocked. the king of curses, the ruthless murderer, the emperor who had never shown interest in any woman, accepting a blind bride from a neighboring kingdom? it was scandalous. impossible.
and you'd felt hope.
you hate yourself for that hope now.
because three months of silence have taught you the truth. he doesn't want you. he tolerates you. and honestly? you'd almost prefer cruelty. at least cruelty would be a reaction. at least cruelty would mean he saw you as something worth acknowledging.
but this nothingness? this endless, suffocating nothingness?
it makes you feel like you've already disappeared.
the servants guide you through your days with practiced efficiency. they dress you, feed you, lead you through the palace halls. you've memorized the layout of your chambers, the path to the gardens, the number of steps from your room to the dining hall. you've learned to navigate this world without sight, just as you've always done.
but you can't navigate him.
you don't know where he sits at meals. you don't know if he watches you. you don't know if he even notices when you're in the same room. his presence is a voidโa massive, oppressive absence of warmth that you can feel but never touch.
tonight was bad.
you'd been led to the gardens by a new servant, someone who didn't know your habits. she'd taken you left instead of right, and you'd walked straight into a hedge, thorns scratching your calves before she'd yanked you back with a flurry of apologies.
then you'd almost fallen down a staircaseโthe grand staircase with its uneven stepsโyour foot catching on the edge, your heart lurching into your throat as you'd pitched forward. a guard caught you just in time.
and the whispers.
you can't see their faces, but you can hear their voices. the concubines. the noblewomen. the servants who think you can't hear them.
"the blind empress."
"does he even notice her?"
"i heard he hasn't touched her once."
"what a waste of a pretty face."
"she must be so lonely."
"she must be so pathetic."
you'd smiled through all of it. kept your head high, your shoulders back, your voice steady. you learned long ago that showing weakness only invites more cruelty. so you'd walked through the halls with your practiced grace, your cane tapping against the marble floors, your face serene.
but inside, you were crumbling.
and now, lying in this massive bed, with your hair spread across a silk pillow and the scent of incense curling through the air, you can feel him beside you. he's so close. you know he's sitting up, his back probably against the headboard, his presence a heavy weight in the darkness.
does he ever sleep?
you've never heard him snore. never heard him shift in his sleep. he's so still, so silent, you sometimes wonder if he's even real.
a long, long time passes. the candles burn down. the incense fades. the night wraps around you like a shroud.
and you can't take it anymore.
"ryomen?"
your voice comes out soft, barely above a whisper. you hate how small you sound. how vulnerable. you'd wanted to sound strong, confident, demanding. instead, you sound like a child calling out in the dark.
silence.
you wait. count your heartbeats. one. two. three. four. five.
just when you're certain he's ignoring you, just when the familiar ache of rejection settles into your chest, a voice cuts through the darkness.
"what."
it's gruff. low. a single word that rumbles through the air like distant thunder. and it's the most he's said to you in days.
you swallow. your throat is dry. your fingers twist in the sheets.
"i...i want to ask you something."
more silence. you can feel him staring at you. you can't see it, but you can feel itโthe weight of his gaze, heavy and unreadable.
"ask."
you take a shaky breath. this is it. this is the moment you've been building toward for three months. the question that's been eating you alive, consuming you from the inside out.
"do you hate me?"
the words hang in the air between you. they sound so small. so pathetic. you wish you could take them back, but it's too late. they're out there now, exposed and raw.
"hate you?" his voice is strange. almost...confused?
"because of...because i'm...y'know, blind." the words taste like ash in your mouth. "i know it's...i know i'm not what you expected. i know i'm not the best option. i know i'mโ"
"stop."
the word is sharp, and you flinch. your breath catches in your throat. you brace yourself for anger, for cruelty, for him to finally confirm what you've suspected all along.
but instead of harsh words, you feel movement. the bed shifts. his weight moves closer.
and then, without warning, a hand wraps around your waist and pulls.
you let out a frightened shriek as you're yanked from your position, your body colliding with something solid and warm. your hands fly out, grasping at fabric, at skin, at anything. you're on his lap, straddling his thighs, your chest pressed against his. he's so bigโso impossibly largeโthat you feel like a doll in his arms.
"ryomen!" your voice is high, panicked. "whatโ"
"quiet."
his hand settles on your thigh. it's huge. calloused. rough in a way that sends shivers down your spine. but the touch is gentle. impossibly gentle. he strokes your thigh once, twice, a soothing motion that slowly calms your racing heart.
"you really think," he says slowly, his voice rumbling against your chest, "that i hate you?"
you can't speak. your throat is too tight. you settle for shaking your head against his chest, even though it's a lie.
a low sound escapes himโnot quite a growl, not quite a laugh. his hand slides from your thigh to your chin, tilting your face up. his thumb brushes across your lower lip, feather-light.
"open your eyes."
the command catches you off guard. "what?"
"your eyes. open them."
you blink, confused. your eyes are already open. you can't see anything, but they're open. you tell him as much.
"no." his voice is strange. softer. "i mean...look at me."
"i can't see you."
"i know." his thumb traces your jawline. "but i can see you. and i want to see your eyes. please."
please.
the word catches you off guard. the king of curses, saying please? to you?
you don't move. don't breathe. just let him hold your face in his massive hand, his touch devastatingly tender.
"i don't hate you," he says, and his voice cracks on the words. "gods, woman. i could never hate you."
your heart stutters. "then whyโ"
"because i'm fuckin' terrified."
you blink. "what?"
"do you know what i am?" his hand slides from your face to your hair, fingers threading through the strands. "i'm a killer. i've been killing for centuries. my hands are stained with blood i'll never wash clean. i'm rough, and violent, and i don't know how to be gentle."
"butโ"
"but when i saw you..." he trails off. his fingers tighten in your hair, just barely. "when i saw you, i couldn't breathe. you were so beautiful. so small. so... perfect. and i thought, 'she's too good f'me.' , 'i'll break her.' , 'i'll hurt her.'"
his voice drops to a whisper.
"so i stayed away. because every time i look at you, i want to touch you. and every time i touch you, i'm afraid i'll destroy you."
tears prick at your eyes. you don't understand. you can't understand. this entire time, you thought he hated you. you thought he found you repulsive, broken, worthless.
but he was...
...afraid?
"you don't hate me?" you whisper.
"no." his forehead presses against yours. "i love you. i've loved you since the moment i saw you."
a sob escapes your throat. it's ugly and raw and you can't stop it.
"but you neverโyou never talked to meโ"
"because i didn't trust myself." his other hand comes up to cup your cheek. "because i knew if i started, i wouldn't be able to stop."
"then don't stop."
the words leave your mouth before you can think. they hang in the air, bold and desperate.
"don't stop," you repeat. "please. i don't want you to stop."
sukuna goes still. so still that you wonder if he's stopped breathing.
"you don't know what you're asking."
"i do." you reach up, your fingers finding his face. you trace the planes of his cheeks, the sharp lines of his jaw, the curve of his lips. "you're my husband. i want you. all of you."
"i'll hurt you."
"i don't care."
"i'll break you."
"i don't care."
his breath hitches. and then, finally, finally, his lips crash against yours.
the kiss is desperate. hungry. it tastes like three months of longing, of confusion, of aching loneliness. his hand fists in your hair, pulling you closer, and you gasp against his mouth. his tongue slides against your lower lip, asking for entry, and you give it willingly.
he tastes like sake and power and something darker. something that makes your toes curl and your heart race.
he pulls back, breathless.
"tell me to stop, and i will."
"don't," you say immediately. "don't stop."
he groans. his hands slide down your back, gripping your hips, and he lays you down on the bed. you fall against the silk sheets, your hair spreading around you like a halo. you can't see him, but you can feel himโhis weight on the bed, his heat surrounding you, his breath ghosting across your skin.
"m'gonna show you," he says, his voice low and rough. "m'gonna kiss every inch of your body. gonna taste you until you scream my name. i want to make you feel so good that you forget every single doubt you've ever had about yourself."
your breath catches. "ryomenโ"
"let me." his lips brush against your neck. "let me show you how much i love you."
you nod, unable to speak.
his hands find the tie of your robe. he undoes it slowly, reverently, like he's unwrapping a gift he's been waiting centuries to open. the fabric falls away, cool air hitting your skin, and you shiver.
"beautiful," he breathes. "so fucking beautiful."
you feel his lips on your collarbone. soft. worshipful. he kisses down your chest, his tongue tracing a path between your breasts. his hands cup your breasts, thumbs brushing across your nipples, and you gasp.
"sensitive," he murmurs. "good. i'll remember that."
he takes one nipple into his mouth. his tongue circles the peak, slow and deliberate, and you arch into him with a desperate moan. he laves at you, sucking gently, nipping with his teeth until you're writhing beneath him.
"more," you gasp. "pleaseโ"
"patience." his voice is a dark promise. "i haven't even started with ya' yet."
he switches to the other breast, giving it the same attention. his hand slides down your stomach, fingers tracing patterns on your skin, until he reaches the apex of your thighs. you're already wetโembarrassingly wetโand he lets out a low growl when he feels it.
"fuck," he mutters against your skin. "you're soaked. f'me?"
"yes," you whimper. "only you."
he groans. his fingers slide through your folds, collecting your wetness, and you buck into his touch.
"tell me what you want."
"i wantโ" you gasp as his thumb circles your clit. "m'want your mouth."
his laugh is dark and breathless. "demanding little thing, aren't ya'?"
"please," you beg. "ryo, pleaseโ"
"shh." he kisses your stomach. "i'll give ya' what y'want."
he moves down your body, his lips leaving a trail of fire. he kisses your hips, your thighs, the inside of your knees. by the time he reaches your core, you're trembling, desperate, aching.
and then his tongue touches you.
you cry out, your hands flying to his hair. he laps at you like a man starved, his tongue sliding through your folds, circling your clit, dipping inside you. he moans against you, the vibration sending shockwaves through your body.
"taste s'good," he mutters against your skin. "could eat ya' forever."
he sucks your clit into his mouth, and you scream. your hips buck against his face, but he holds you down, his massive hands gripping your thighs. he alternates between sucking and licking, building a rhythm that has you climbing higher and higher.
"that's it," he praises. "let go f'me...lemme taste ya'."
his fingers find your entrance, sliding inside you without warning. two fingers, thick and long, stretching you. he curls them, hitting a spot that makes you see stars, and you shatter.
you come with a scream of his name, your body convulsing as waves of pleasure crash through you. he doesn't stop. he laps at you through your orgasm, drawing it out until you're sobbing from the intensity.
when you finally come down, he crawls up your body, his lips finding yours. you taste yourself on his tongue, and it's the most intimate thing you've ever experienced.
"m-more," you whisper. "m'want more."
his eyesโyou can feel themโsearch your face.
"are you sure? we can stop. we canโ"
"i'm sure." you reach for him, your fingers finding his chest. "i want you...please."
he hesitates. you feel the tension in his muscles, the restraint he's barely holding onto.
"m'bigger than ya'," he says, matter of factly. "a lot bigger. and i have...i have two dicks, woman. i don't know ifโ"
"i don't care." you pull him closer. "i trust you."
he groans, pressing his forehead against yours.
"if it hurts too much, tell me. and i'll stop."
"okay."
"promise me."
"i promise."
he shifts above you, and you feel something heavy and thick press against your thigh. and then another. two cocks. the thought should terrify you, but instead, it sends a thrill through your body.
he aligns himself with your entrance, and you feel the tip pressing against you. he's hugeโso much bigger than his fingersโand you wonder if you can actually take him.
"relax f'me," he murmurs. "breathe."
you inhale deeply, and he pushes in.
just the tip, and you gasp. he's stretching you in a way that's almost unbearable. it hurts. there's a burning sensation, a pressure that's too much and not enough.
"shh," he soothes. "you're doing s'well. so good f'me."
he pushes deeper, inch by agonizing inch. you feel your body struggling to accommodate him, your walls clenching around his length. and thenโ
a sharp pain.
fuck...you forgot.
you cry out, your nails digging into his shoulders. he stops immediately.
"did i hurt ya'?"
you can't answer. the pain is fading, replaced by a strange fullness. you feel something wet trickle down your thigh. warm. sticky.
blood.
his eyes slowly flicker down, and you can hear his breath stop. he's tense. too tense.
"fuck," he hisses. "you'reโyou're a fuckin' virgin?"
you nod weakly, biting your lip. your heart is pounding fast. loud. "is that...bad?"
"no." his voice is strained. "no, it's not bad. i justโfuckโi didn't know. i would have been more careful, woman."
"you are being careful," you whisper, fingers pressing into his shoulders "keep going."
"you're fuckin' bleeding."
"i don't care. please. i want to feel you." you sniffle. god, the pleasure is making you bold. too fucking bold.
he lets out a shaky breath. "you're going to kill me."
but he pushes deeper, slower this time. gentler. his lips find yours, kissing you softly as he sinks into you. the pain fades, replaced by a deep, aching fullness that makes you moan.
when he's fully sheathed, he stops. lets you adjust. his forehead presses against yours, his breath ragged.
"y'feel incredible," he breathes. "so tight. so...fuck...perfect."
"move," you beg. "please."
he pulls out slowly, then pushes back in. the friction is delicious, the stretch exquisite. he sets a rhythmโslow, deep, deliberateโeach thrust hitting a spot that makes you see stars.
"ryomen," you gasp. "r-ryoโ"
"i know," he murmurs. "i know, doll. feels s'good, doesn't it?"
"yesโyesโ"
his hand slides down your stomach, pressing against the slight bulge where he's buried inside you. the feeling makes you moan.
"look at that," he says, awe in his voice. "you can feel me, can't ya'? right here."
he presses down, and you feel itโthe outline of him inside you. it's obscene. it's incredible.
"more," you gasp. "harderโ"
"y'sure?"
"yesโpleaseโ"
he obliges. his pace quickens, his thrusts becoming more urgent. the bed creaks beneath you, the sound mixing with your moans and his grunts.
"gonna come," he warns. "where do you want it?"
"inside," you gasp. "pleaseโi want to feel youโ"
he groans, his hips slamming into yours. and then he's coming, hot and thick, filling you so completely. you feel itโhis release pouring into you, painting your walls, claiming you from the inside. his cum is already trickling down your thigh, oozing out of your cunt.
at the same time, he's stroking his other cock. you feel the wet spurts hit your stomach, warm and sticky.
he collapses on top of you, careful not to crush you. his face buries in your neck, and you feel his breath, ragged and uneven.
"i love you," he whispers, gruff. it's funny. you've always thought the word love doesn't exist in his vocabulary. but here he is, saying it over and over again. "i love you so much it terrifies me."
you wrap your arms around him, pulling him closer.
"i love you too."
a long moment passes. then another. and thenโ
"we're going to do that again."
you laugh, breathless.
"right now?"
"after i clean you up." he kisses your neck. "and then again. and again. and again. until ya' can't walk."
"promise?"
he pulls back, and even though you can't see him, you know he's smirking.
"promise."
you're already half asleep when he pulls you against his chest, his arms wrapped around you like he's afraid you'll disappear. his lips press against your hair, your forehead, your eyelids.
"my wife," he murmurs. "my perfect, beautiful wife."

number 1. forward. the one they call the king on the court.
ryomen sukuna.
the lights in the arena buzz overhead, harsh and bright, casting long shadows across the polished court. the crowd was the loudest. it's mostly home fans, but you see a few pockets of visiting supporters chanting his name like it's a curse and a prayer at once.
he's everywhere tonight. pink hair slick with sweat, tied back loose so strands fall into his eyes when he drives. black ink crawling up his arms and neck, visible under the sleeveless jerseyโhis team's colors, white and black. muscles flex with every cut, every pivot, every brutal screen he sets that sends opponents stumbling. it makes you wonder, when exactly did he get so hot?
you knew sukuna from childhood.
back then he was just 'kuna, the scrawny little terror kid with knobby knees, always covered in dirt from head to toe after he'd rolled in mud for fun. his pink hair always looked wild and unbrushed, sticking up in every direction after he'd climb trees or chase stray dogs through empty lots. clothes torn at the hems, knees perpetually scraped, hands grubby from digging in the dirt.
he'd show up at your door smelling like grass and sweat and whatever weird snack he'd scavenged. one time it was a half-eaten candy bar from the sidewalk, another time apples nicked from someone's yard... he would be grinning with those too-sharp baby teeth, offering you the grossest half like it was a gift.
"dummy, play with me! i got this for ya."
he was messy in every sense possible. his room a disaster of comic books, action figures, and mystery stains. he had a temper too, quick to flare if anyone looked at you wrong. he'd punch a kid twice his size once for tugging your braid too hard. according to him only he gets to make fun of you.
sukuna would always get you into troubleโfrom sneaking into abandoned houses to racing bikes down hills without helmets, coming home bruised and laughing.
but he was your mess. the one who'd shove bullies away, share his stolen snacks even when he was starving, sit with you on the curb after dark when your parents fought.
he once was everything.
then came the day his dad got a job offer away. moving trucks rolled up one summer morning while you were still asleep. he gave no warning or goodbye. you ran to his house barefoot, heart in your throat, only to find the front door already locked. you stood there staring at the for-sale sign until your mom dragged you home.
he didn't communicate either. no calls, no nothing.
weeks turned to months, months to years. you stopped looking for pink hair in crowds, stopped expecting that familiar "dummy" yelled from across the street. life moved on. you moved on.
or so you thought.
now here he is... the scrawny kid who once tripped over his own feet is gone. replaced by broad shoulders, veined forearms, jaw sharper now, shadowed with stubble he probably doesn't bother shaving during the season. the tattoos started showing up in high school pics you glimpsed online onceโblack lines creeping up his arms first, then his neck, chest, probably more hidden under the fabric.
you're sitting a few rows up with your friend and she leans over during a timeout, "isn't he so hot?"
you almost choke on your drink but your eyes dart to him again.
"...yeah. he is."
she grins like you just confessed something juicy. "told you... i wouuuld risk everything for him."
you hum noncommittally, looking back at the court.
when the game ends, his team wins comfortably. the visiting fans cheer while everyone else heads for the exits. your friend stands up, already zipping her jacket.
"okay i'm ready to bounce. you coming?"
"go ahead, i need to use the bathroom real quick. i'll catch up at the car."
she gives you a side-eye. "you sure? don't get stuck in line."
"i'll be fine. text me when you're there."
she shrugs and heads off with the crowd. you wait until the section is mostly empty, then stand and make your way to the concourse. the bathroom is quick, cold water on your face trying to shake off the weird mix of nostalgia and nerves. you step back out into the hallway, heading for the main exit doors.
and stop short.
sukuna's there.
leaning against the frame of the exit like he's got nowhere better to be. still in his game uniform, a towel draped over one shoulder with his arms crossed.
he looks up the second you appear.
that slow smirk curls his mouth.
"knew it was you." his voice is low probably from four quarters of shouting.
you swallow. "how'd you evenโ"
"i saw you third quarter," he pushes off the doorframe, takes a step closer. "you came to watch me?"
you cross your arms, trying to look steadier than you feel. "i came to watch the game."
he snorts. "how cold... bummer i'm disappointed."
you glare at him as people are still trickling past, it feels like the hallway narrowed to just the two of you.
"you look different," you say quietly.
"yeah?" he tilts his head, eyes flicking over you. "you don't though, still bite your lip when you're nervous."
you stop doing it instantly which makes him smirk.
"it's been a while."
you exhale, "yea it has."
he scratches the back of his neck, glancing down the hall toward the locker room. "look. i smell like ass and i need to shower. wait for me? players' exit is right around the cornerโblack doors by the loading dock. five, maybe ten minutes. i'll change fast."
"my friend's waiting in the parking lot."
"tell her you ran into someone or don't, your call." he steps closer again. "but don't leave."
his eyes hold yours like he's begging for you to say yes.
"...okay."
"ten minutes," he repeats. "don't make me come looking."
he disappears down the corridor toward the locker room, the black doors swing shut behind him, leaving you alone in the hallway with the faint hum of the arenaโs ventilation.
you pull your phone out fast to text your friend.
hey iโm actually gonna stay a bit longer. ran into an old friend from back home. catching up real quick.
the reply comes in seconds.
OLD FRIEND??? who tf is this and why am i just hearing about it now
you bite back a laugh, typing one-handed while you start walking slowly toward the loading dock side.
you pocket the phone after the convo, and keep walking. you find the black double doors easily, a faded โauthorized personnel onlyโ sticker half-peeled off. you lean against the wall next to them.
the minutes drag. you check your phone twice. seven minutes... nine.
then the door bangs open.
sukuna steps out fresh shower. damp pink hair pushed back messy, black hoodie zipped halfway over a plain white tee, gray sweats slung low on his hips. heโs carrying a black duffel over one shoulder, tattoos peeking at the collar and cuffs.
he looks annoyingly good.
โyou actually waited.โ
"your ass told me to wait."
"yeah i did and you actually listened." he teases, his eyes flicking down to your lips for half a second before meeting yours again. "that's new. used to take three dares and a threat before you'd do anything i said."
you huff a small laugh, "maybe ten years ago 'kuna."
"'kuna" he leans one shoulder against the wall beside you, echoing his own nickname. "missed that, i missed you."
you freeze up, he's not subtle.
"i sure hope you missed me too, sweetheart."
"keep dreaming."
"i have been." he pushes off the wall. "c'mon we're not staying here. my car's out back."
you follow him through the loading dock doors into the night. the lot is mostly empty now, just a few staff cars and his matte black jeep. he unlocks it, tosses the duffel in the back, then opens the passenger door for you without a word.
you slide in. the leather's still warm from the heater he must've left on. he drops into the driver's seat after you.
"you hungry?"
"starving."
he nods once and pulls the jeep out, headlights sweeping the empty lot before hitting the dark street.
settling feels easy, it's like you never separated in the first place. it's so comfortable.
you watch the city lights slide over his profile. your thighs press together without thinking. ten years gone and somehow you still get a weird feeling whenever you stare at him.
he keeps one hand loose on the wheel, the other resting on the gear shift.
"there's this place five minutes from here," he says after a minute. "pretty sure it's open all night. the burgers are kinda greasy but the fries are actually decent, you down?"
"im down for anything."
he pulls into the small lot. there's a faded red sign buzzing "open 24 hrs," two trucks parked crooked, windows glowing yellow. inside it's warm, the waitress waves you to a back booth without a word.
you slide in across from him.
after choosing from the menu, he orders two double cheeseburgers, extra fries, onion rings, two black coffees. when the food lands he pushes the basket of fries your way first.
"still steal the crispy ones?" he asks, already taking a massive bite.
you snag the crunchiest one. "you always let me take your food."
"someone's gotta keep you fed." he chews, eyes flicking over your face. "you look good, really good. different but same."
you feel the heat crawl up your neck. "you too. the tattoos... when did you even start those?"
he glances down at his forearm, "uh, high school? got the first one the week i turned sixteen...thought it'd make me look hard. hid them for a few years after that till i got a bit older and stopped giving a fuck what anyone thought." he continues, "now they're just part of the package."
you watch the way his forearm moves when he reaches for another fry, veins standing out, tattoos stark under the fluorescent light. your stomach does something stupid again.
that simple innocent action did something to you.
face to face with him really feels different. you remember the scrawny kid again. the one with dirt under his nails; now those same hands are bigger, rougher, and the thought of them on you possibly after this makes your pulse throb between your legs. you shift in the booth, trying to play it cool, but your leggings suddenly feels too tight and your skin too warm.
"they suit you," you manage to say, your voice quieter than you mean it to be.
he smirks, catching the way your eyes linger. "yeah? you staring at them or at me?"
"shut up and eat your burger." you give him a glare which he laughs at.
you eat in comfortable quiet for a while, stealing glances at each other over the table. every time he licks salt off his thumb your mind flashes to what that mouth could do somewhere else. every time his tongue darts out to catch a drop of ketchup you feel it low in your belly. you keep replaying the way he looked at you in the hallwayโlike he already knew exactly how this night was going to end.
you also know that you shouldn't get your hopes up too high. this might just be a regular catching up thing. you're not entirely sure what sukuna is like now so you shouldn't be too careless.
he finishes first leaning his back against the booth, watching you again.
"you eat slow."
"well stop watching me."
"i'm not," he says trying hard to sound innocent. "im just looking in front of me?"
you flip him off as you finish the last onion ring, push the basket away. he pays with cash then stands, offering his hand.
you don't question it, wanting to know how touching him feels like again. his palm is warm and rough, he doesn't let go until you're back at the jeep.
sukuna opens your door, waits for you to slide in, then closes it gently.
you watch him round to the driver's side, he starts the engine asking for your address. the drive to your place is quiet except when he hands you his phone so you can save your number. eventually his hand finds your thigh halfway there, his thumb stroking slow circles, inching higher until you're shifting in the seat.
when he parks in front of your building but he doesn't kill the engine right away. you guys sit there, his hand still on your thigh, staring straight ahead.
"this is you," he says quietly.
you nod. "yeah."
he exhales slow. "get some sleep. text me tomorrow."
it's over again... he's leaving again.
even a proper goodbye from him doesn't feel good.
now is the time to be brave.
so you lean over to kiss him, a soft and lingering kiss just enough for him to remember you after tonight.
"night, 'kuna."
sukuna's dumbfounded watching you walk away. the sweet girl he knew would've never dared to initiate.
when you step inside, the apartment is dark and quiet. you kick off your shoes, drop your keys on the counter, head toward your bedroom. you smile to yourself still tasting him on your tongue.
you make it three steps inside when the knock comes.
impatient knocks.
you open the door.
heโs thereโsukuna's outside your door. hoodie half-zipped, hood pushed back so his pink hair sticks up in every direction. thereโs a flush high on his cheekbones, breathing a little too quick, like he ran the stairs.
his eyes are dark, almost black in the hallway light, pupils blown wide. he looks wrecked and desperate.
โcouldnโt leave,โ he says. โcouldnโt walk away again."
you grab the front of his hoodie, yank him inside hard enough his shoulder bumps the doorframe.
he crowds you against the wall so fast your back hits with a soft thud. his mouth crashes into yours, his tongue pushing in like heโs been starving for it. your fingers dig into his shoulders, nails scraping through fabric, pulling him closer even though thereโs no space left.
he groans low when you bite his bottom lip. one big hand slides up under your shirt, the other cups the back of your neck. you feel his hips roll forward, his thick length already straining against the sweats, pressing right between your legs through your leggings.
โfuck,โ he mutters, lips moving to your jaw. โbeen hard since i saw you... couldnโt focus on the fucking game.โ he continues, โsaw you in the stands and all i could think about was bending you over the railing, fucking you right there while the crowd screamed my name.โ
โyouโre disgusting if that's true.โ
โyeah?โ he bites the spot under your ear. โthen whyโre you grinding on me like you want it?โ
you don't answer him, you don't need to. sukuna already knows how right he is. you want him bad.
you shove at his hoodie. he yanks it off one-handed, white tee following so fast. now you see all his tattoosโblack and jagged across his chest, ribs, curling down his arms. he looks carved, dangerous, and the sight alone makes your cunt clench around nothing.
โbedroom 'kuna."
he doesnโt argue. he scoops you up, your thighs hooked over his hips. he carries you like you weigh nothing, only to drop you on the mattress when you reach the bedroom.
youโre already kicking your shoes off. he pulls your leggings and underwear down in one rough pull.
then he grabs your ankles, yanks you to the edge of the bed so your ass is right at the corner. spreading your thighs wide with rough hands as holds them open. he stares at you long enough you feel exposed.
โlemme see,โ he hurries. โlemme see what iโve been missing all these years.โ
he drops to his knees between your legs. he leans in and drags his tongue up your slit, tasting every inch from bottom to top. you gasp, not expecting him to start so quick.
he groans against you like youโre the best thing heโs ever put in his mouth.
โshit,โ he breathes, lips brushing your clit. โtaste even better than i remembered dreaming about. sweet little cunt...been starving for this.โ
"y-you dreamt of me?"
โyeah,โ he says almost embarrassed but not quite. โsaw one of your posts online maybeโฆ a year ago? i couldn't stop looking at one of your pictures,โ he drags his tongue over your clit again watching you shudder. โcouldnโt find a way to message you without looking like a fucking creep. didnโt know if you even wanted to hear from me."
he continues, "but i couldnโt stop thinking about you after that. jerked off to that one picture more times than iโm proud of. kept checking your profile like a stalker, hoping youโd post something new. but my girl's so quiet so nothing ever came. so yeahโฆ i dreamt about you. a lot.โ
he dives back in before you can respondโtongue pushing inside you now, fucking you with it while his thumb rubs messy circles over your clit. you cry out while he groans again like heโs the one getting off.
โshouldโve reached out,โ he mutters between licks. โshouldโve slid into your dms but i was a coward...not anymore.โ
he spits on your clit, he watches it drip down then shoves two thick fingers inside you.
"s-shit! oh my goood."
โgonna make up for lost time,โ he rasps. โgonna eat this pussy till youโre crying, then fuck you till you canโt walk. gonna fill you up so many times youโll be leaking me for days.โ
he curls his fingers inside you, pressing right against that spot that makes your hips jerk off the bed. his mouth stays locked on your clit, sucking hard now. all happening as he watches your face the whole time. your thighs start shaking around his ears, one hand fisted in his hair, the other clawing at the sheets like they'll save you.
"kuna f-fuck...i'mโ"
he doesn't stop, if anything he goes harder. your back bows, breath punching out in short, broken gasps until the orgasm hits. you come on his tongue and fingers, it's both sloppy and greedy, not stopping until you're whimpering and trying to push his head away from oversensitivity.
he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand and climbs up your body slow, caging you under him. his cock is straining against the gray sweats, a dark wet spot already soaking through where the head leaks. he kisses you deep, letting you taste yourself on his tongue, and you moan into his mouth without shame.
"need to be inside you," he says against your lips. "been thinking about this too fucking long."
you nod, breathless. "got condom in that drawer."
he leans over, yanks the drawer open, rummages for a second and comes up with a foil packet. he pauses, eyebrows lifting as he looks back at you.
"you keep these around?"
your face heats. "yeah. justโฆ in case, you know."
he tears the wrapper with his teeth, rolling the condom down his length slow while he watches your face. "just in case what? you actively fucking anybody right now?"
"no," you say quickly. too quickly maybe. "haven't in a while."
"are you?" this time you ask.
"no," his smirks, "after this i am." he strokes himself as he continues to look at you. "because after tonight nobody else is touching this pussy, understood?"
you swallow hard, nodding.
he strokes himself once more through the condom. heโs longโlonger than you expected. he kneels between your spread legs again, his blunt head nudges your slick folds, parting you just enough to feel the stretch begin.
โeyes on me,โ he orders.
he pushes in slow letting you feel every inch as he sinks deeper. your lips part on a silent gasp... the burn your feeling is exquisite, bordering on too much. halfway in he pauses, breathing through his nose like heโs fighting for control.
โfuckโฆ so tight,โ he moans. โgonna ruin me, arenโt you?โ
you canโt form words yet, just a shaky whimper. your nails dig into his biceps, leaving crescent marks on inked skin.
he rolls his hips experimentally, grinding the base against your clit when he's all the way in. the pressure makes your back arch, a broken sound slipping out. he stays there letting you feel how deep he isโhow completely heโs claiming the space inside you.
"so full 'kuna! so fuuull."
then he starts to move.
punishing thrusts that make the headboard knock against the wall. the rhythm is brutal from the start. he doesn't care for gentlenessโevery snap of his hips jolts your body forward, breasts bouncing under your thin shirt that he still hasnโt bothered to take off.
โlook at you taking it,โ he growls. โso proud of my girl."
he hooks one of your legs over his elbow, opening you wider so it's easier for both you and him. your eyes roll back, you canโt help it.
โthatโs the spot, yeah? gonna make you come again... g-gonna make you soak my cock while iโm balls deep.โ
your hands scramble for helpโhe hisses at the sting when you scratch his skin but fucks you harder for it, like the pain flips a switch.
โharder,โ you manage to gasp, surprising even yourself.
his laugh is breathless. โgreedy little thing.โ
he shifts his weight, plants one knee on the mattress for leverage, and drives into you with punishing force. the bed creaks dangerously; something on your nightstand rattles. you donโt care. all you can feel is him stretching you open over and over until your mind blanks out.
he leans down, mouth crashing against yours in a open-mouthed kiss. messy as your tongues slide together, sharing the taste of sweat and sex and earlier orgasms. when he pulls back just enough to speak, his lips brush yours with every word.
โgonna come inside this condom so fucking hard,โ he pants. โthen next timeโnext time iโm doing it raw. gonna pump you full till itโs dripping out, mark you from the inside so you remember who owns this pussy.โ
"b-but i already know."
"not enoughhh... shit cum baby, fuck!"
your orgasm reaches when he suddenly goes faster, your whole body giving in around him. walls fluttering and milking him so tight he curses through gritted teeth. your cry is muffled against his shoulder as you bite down, hard enough to leave teeth marks.
he doesnโt stop though. continues to thrusts without slowing down, chasing his own release. until his rhythm stutters, hips slamming erratically.
โfuckfuckfuck! take itโโ
you feel him throb inside the condom filling it while his fingers dig bruises into your hips, holding you flush against him like heโs afraid youโll disappear if he lets go.
for long seconds neither of you moves. the faint smell of sex and his soap hanging heavy in the air.
finally he eases out slow, both of you hissing at the loss. he ties off the condom and tosses it, then collapses half on top of you, heavy and warm. one arm snakes around your waist, pulling you into his side like itโs the most natural thing in the world.
his lips brush your temple, surprisingly soft after everything.
โgo again?โ
โno,โ you rasp, voice hoarse from all the crying out youโve done. โiโm tired, โkuna.โ
the arm around your waist loosens for you to breathe easier. he shifts his weight, rolling mostly onto his back so youโre no longer pinned, though he keeps one hand splayed possessively over your hip.
โyeah? fair. you took it like a fucking champ.โ
โcanโt believe i had sex with the king of the court.โ the words slip out sleepy and half-teasing, muffled against his chest. you feel the low rumble of his laugh start before you even finish the sentence.
you peek up through your lashes. his eyes narrow, the same look he used to give you when youโd call him out for cheating at street basketball as kids.
โnever call me that,โ he says.
you blink, innocent. โwhat? itโs true. they literally chant it. there are signs, jerseys, fan accounts. i saw one girl with your face tattooed on herโโ
he cuts you off by rolling fast, sudden enough that you squeak, pinning you under him in one fluid motion.
โsay it again,โ he dares, voice dropping to that dangerous purr he saves for when heโs about to do something mean in the sweetest way. โgo on. call me king of that shit one more time.โ
you bite your lip to keep from grinning, but itโs useless. โkingโโ
he attacks.
fingers dig into your sides without mercy, tickling you ruthless. the spots heโs known since you were nine, the ones that make you fold instantly. you shriek, twisting under him, legs kicking uselessly as laughter punches out of you in helpless bursts.
โs-stop kuna... fuckโmercy!โ
โnah,โ he growls against your neck. โyou donโt get to call me some arena nickname after i just fucked you stupid. thatโs not my name to you.โ
his hands move higher, under your ribs, relentless. youโre gasping, tears pricking your eyes from laughing so hard, trying and failing to shove his wrists away.
โokayokayokay," you surrender. "โkunaaaa i'm gonna pee!โ
he finally eases up after that, his palms flatten over your ribs, holding you down without tickling.
โbetter,โ he mutters. โyou call me โkuna but never that other shit. thatโs for them, not you.โ
โpossessive much?โ
โdamn right.โ
โfine,โ you whisper. โno more king. just my โkuna.โ
sukunaโs eyes squint at the bright text that appears on his phone. swiping out of twitter to redirect him to his messages.
dumbass: ya [1:17am]
dumbass: need dick? ๐ซฉ [1:18am]
sukuna waits patiently for the text, already sitting up and grabbing his hoodie from the floor. his movements groggy, rubbing his eyes as he slides his wallet and keys into the pockets of his sweats before his phone buzzes again.
crybaby: its not too late? [1:21am]
sukuna scoffs under his breath. stifling a yawn as he lazily replies with one hand, and starts out of his room.
dumbass: be there in 20 [1:21am]
dumbass: dont fall asleep like last time i need u to open the door [1:21am]
your reply comes with hearting his messages. shutting his phone off as he heads downstairs. unfortunately for him, a few of his frat brothers were up. and it was the worst two.
geto glances behind gojo noticing sukuna coming down the steps, his brow quirks as he looks at the time. gojo whips around, knowing smirk tugging on his lips.
โyou know this thing between you guys is supposed to be convenient, not inconvenient,โ gojo points with a stupid grin as geto stifles a snort.
sukuna flips them off, pulling his hoodie over his head, eyes laced with sleep. but gojo persists, turning to lean over the back of the couch, the tv still playing a stupid movie they were up watching.
โyou know you can say no, that is a consenting word for both women and men,โ gojo continues nagging.
โdo you ever shut the fuck up? how do you know Iโm not the one asking to come over, dipshit?โ sukuna barks, tired of their consistent nagging. thatโs when geto decides to unwelcomely join in.
โbecause you said and I quoteโ i fuckinโ hate going outta my way for pussy โand quote.โ getoโs words hang heavy in the air, and the only rebuttal came a few long seconds later when sukuna scoffs loud, muttering for them to stay the fuck outta fโhis business before slamming the front door shut behind him.
snickering to themselves, gojo and geto roll their eyes at their knowingly oblivious friend.
but luckily, that short conversation with dumb and dumber didnโt set sukuna back from arriving at your apartment on time. and just a quick knock had you opening the door, face laced with just as much exhaustion as his as you allowed him inside. he shut the door behind him, kicking his shoes off as he followed you into your small cozy living room. the tv still playing some show and a bunch of blankets stacked messily on the couch where youโd been sitting.
heโd never admit it out loud, but he loved your tiny apartment. it didnโt smell bad like his frat, and you had cute trinkets and decorations everywhere which made it feel so warm and lived in. and the best part is that you lived alone which meant the entire place smelled like you.
โyou want some water?โ you yawn, going to your fridge. his brow slightly raised, gaze swiping over your state.
โsure,โ he mutters, voice groggier than when he left the house. he yawns again, leaning against the small column between your little kitchen and living room, hands deep in his pocket as he watches you with a tired expression. something was definitely wrong, he thinks. but you stayed silent, grabbing a glass from the shelf and pulling out the brita and pouring him a cup in your oversized long sleeved shirt โwait that may be one of hisโ and pajama shorts. your fluffy sock covered feet padded gently back to him, passing him the glass as you stifle another yawn.
the apartment is quiet, aside from the tv. he downs the drink in a few gulps, when you decide to gently press yourself against him. burying your face in his chest, humming to yourself as his warmth and scent envelop you.
his hand falls atop of your head, petting you, as he exhales along with your shaky one. โare you tired?โ you mutter, glancing up at him, and he can already see your glossy eyes reflected off the light.
he ignores the twist in his gut, clicking his tongue. he discards the glass on the counter before bending down to lift you up. your arms and legs immediately lock around him, as his hand holds your jaw, lips finding yours easily.
he hums, tired and satisfied as your lips move against his lazy, and needy, an invisible string tugging at his chest whenever you pull off with soft sighs before pecking his lips again, catching your breath. he falls back on your comfy couch, practically sinking into it, hands gliding against the bare skin of your thighs as you continue making out. the movie had finished as the apartment now only filled with sounds of your lips smacking against one another.
your chest was pressed close to his, arms locked around his shoulders. and his eyes closed, exhaustion so heavy on his shoulders he canโt help the satisfied hums he lets out when you take charge.
โwere you about to sleep when I texted?โ you whisper against his lips, keeping your voice soft.
and he just hums low and deep. dark lashes kissing the tattoos on his cheek before opening his eyes again to catch your soft unreadable expression. his hand gives your thigh another lazy squeeze.
โma iโ,โ he stifles another yawn. โi think i can just go one round,โ he admits, eyes laced with sleep.
and you feel bad. your hand caressing his cheek, gaze downcast as you trace his lips, โiโll do the work.โ you whisper softly against his lips. โi asked you to come.โ
his crimson eyes try to gage your reaction, but youโre pretty neutral. โs fine,โ he hums, but you shake your head, pushing him to stay on the couch as you climb off gently.
his breath is even, biting his cheek as he watches you push yours shorts down your soft thighs. eyes sweeping over your figure noting the slick collecting between your puffy folds.
โyouโre so hot,โ his compliment had you humming, practically used to it, as you climb back on his lap. โyou donโt need any stretching?โ
his veiny fingers dance between your thighs, ghosting over your warm cunt ready to plunge two fingers in. but you just shake your head tugging his waistband. โmโ goodโโ
โyou always cry,โ he deadpans.
โI donโt.โ
โyou do,โ he snorts when you narrow your eyes at him. โpleasee sโ too big ryo-ryoโahh!โ he mocks your moans.
your cheeks catch aflame, swatting his shoulder, โI donโt sound like that,โ you huff.
sukuna just licks his teeth in reply, shrugging. โsounds like that to me, maybe just a tad more pathetic,โ he adds, and you can only frown, blush easily giving you away. but he he pulls his hoodie off and lifts his hips up and pushing his sweats just a little past his toned hips freeing his growing erection. โdonโt start crying.โ
โI wonโt.โ
your hands press into his shoulders, lifting yourself up as he swipes his tip through your folds teasing you as he collects your wetness and using it to lube his heavy cock. his cock stiffens more, the weight never fails to make you drip and it never fails to make his chest flush.
โyou naturally wet for me?โ
you roll your eyes, ignoring the flush that spreads across your cheeks. โshut up.โ
and he laughs, light and easy, before pushing his engorged tip inside your tight crevice. your jaw falls agape easily, lips parted perfectly as his muscles strain. โalways so-fuckin tight, ma,โ a throaty groan slips out, humming as your cunt hugs him like a warm blanket.
your lips part again, sighing as you ride his fat tip lazily, moaning so gently when more of his thick girth would push inside, stretching you in that comforting way that makes you feel like heโs apart of you. his hand lazily holds your ass, grunting with each bounce. your lips kiss his ear, as soft gentle sighs of pleasure escape sending immediate shivers down his spine.
โryoโฆโ you softly moan, โtha-haahโthank you forโฆcoming.โ
your words hang heavy in the air. accompanied by your hiccuped moans.
and his eyes widen.
then his cheeks burn. heart hammering loud against his chest, all unbeknownst to you as you continue moaning with each grind and bounce of his cock. the squelching of his cock kissing your cervix and mixing your insides had you spinning. you loved his dick, you loved how big it was inside, you loved his big body holding you as you rode him.
โfuck, tell me how much more you love my dick,โ he snorts between pants.
and youโre not even embarrassed that youโd said that all out loud, because you were tired, and the only thing the could ease your nerves and put you to sleep was this man and his huge fucking dick.
โanghโfeels goodโhaah,โ your pants grow needier along with your hips, the claps of your ass coming back down on his thigh had his head falling back, eyes shut in pleasure and jaw locked as he moans your name low and deep. you hum against his ear, as he squeezes your ass like he always does, kneading the flesh in his calloused palms before lifting you up just slightly and snapping his hips up with a sharp thrust.
your eyes bulge, crying out. โryo!โ
โsโokay, keeping riding my dick,โ sukuna grunts, body and cheeks hot as sweat trickles down his forehead.
but youโre trembling, and squeak out a muttered rebuttal. โyโrโฆtoo big.โ
you gasp when he spreads his meaty thighs apart and you feel his cock go deeper, your tummy bulging.
and he snorts, expecting those words to slip out, especially when he sees the way your eyes start to tremble, sweat lightly covering your forehead. โcmon,โ he grinds up, clearly lazy and exhausted, โtexting me on a fuckin Tuesday night, canโt expect me to fuck ya into the couch.โ
you whine, annoying and needy, โI know,โ you huff.
โthen stop bitching and keep movinโ, brat,โ
he gives your ass a lazy slap, making you clench up but pick up the the pace a little. still tired, you continue riding him, lips parting with every roll of your hips, especially when heโd give the occasional thrust up, โhaah ya, thatโs itโฆjust like that,โ he grunts, jaw locked, clearly on the edge from exhaustion and your moans earlier.
you hum, grinding your hips down and rubbing your clit against his pubes, your lips part, eyes glossy once again as you stare down at the man, your hand lifting his and placing it under your shirt to cup your boob.
and that was his final straw. his hips buck involuntarily, face scrunched in pleasure releasing a guttural moan shooting his cum deep inside you, the piercing white orgasm practically knocking the wind out of him momentarily, balls tightening up again as you continue grinding a little faster, keeping your hand over his as you snuggle your cheek against his palm.
โfuck, ryoโโ
his eyes are hazy as he looks back up at you, blinking away the orgasm, trying his best to thrust up, helping you. but your eyes are shut, quiet moans filling the air as he watches the way a few loose hairs stick to your forehead, and your flushed cheeks and you finally clench up around him and body tensing as the coil deep in your core snaps.
โanghโ!โ
the cry was soft and high as you shake, cumming around him. his cum oozes out, painting your inner thighs and his as your mixed arousal slides down his balls. a feeling he always relishes in, leaning back on the couch, eyes closed in bliss and exhaustion.
and youโre still panting above him, just as tired, sighing contently slumping on top of him. and your breathing is synced now, neither of you ready to move yet, but when you do, sukuna keeps a tight grip around your waist, arm locked in a hug.
โyouโre so warm,โ his voiced laced with sleep.
you hum, but try wiggle again, ready to knock out after calling him to fuck you to sleep instead of taking melatonin like a normal person.
โryoโฆIโm tired,โ you whine, muscles weak against his lazy grip. especially when his breathing turns even, body heating up as sleep continues dragging him further into the warm cushions.
he grunts in reply, before it cut off by a loud long yawn.
โsame,โ he finally gets out. โso letโs just stay like this.โ
your cheeks burn, momentarily stunned, because this feltโฆintimate. especially when he lays across the couch lazy and warm, keeping you on top of him and shifting his hips just a bit, sighing loud when you clench around him. โfuck youโre like the perfect blanket,โ he mutters, raspy tone going straight to your cheeks.
and you donโt say anything, keeping your face buried in his shoulder, letting the weight of sleep, and his soft cock nestled deep inside you, take over.
and maybe you made up for the very intimate night when the sun rose, and a sleep deprived sukuna grunts in pleasure, rolling you on your back caging you under him so he can piston his morning wood in your squelching cunt, hitting your cervix a bit to accurately for the morning.
youโre groggy from sleep, whining as he grunts with each sharp thrust, muscles all flexing, pushing your shirt up again to suck your nipples sore. your back arching off the couch, eyes laced with sleep and unshed tears, and your nails decorate his muscular back with new marks.
โyouโre so wet, haahโso good,โ he continues panting, cheeks flushed, eyeing your pussy spreading everytime he thrusts in, the frothy wet ring sticking to his pubes every time he snaps his hips.
and neither of you talk about him having his flaccid cock in you all night, or how calming it was to have each other so late at night. because it was true, the moment was intimate, you both knew it, and maybe thatโs why neither of you could tell your friends.
itโs gotten to the point where you both could already predict what theyโre gonna sayโgojo and geto would laugh their asses off, proving how your relationship is much more than what he thinks. and shoko and utahime would give you another lecture about how this is gonna blow up in your face if itโs not addressed properly.
but fuck it. seriously.
if you both are okay with it, then whatโs the problem?

You spotted his car before you even made it to the front door.
Parked along the curb beneath a streetlight, clean and familiar.
Good.
That meant he was already here.
The music from the frat house rattled the pavement beneath your heels as you stepped out of the Uber, smoothing your hands down the sides of your outfit before glancing at your reflection in the dark window of his car.ย
You'd spent nearly two hours getting ready for tonight, and not because you were excited about the party.
No.
You were here because your ex was.
Petty? Maybe.
But after two months of watching him parade around campus with his new โgirlfriendโ like the last two years had never happened, you felt entitled to a little pettiness.
The front lawn was already packed with people. Music poured from the house through open windows and the constantly swinging front door while groups of students crowded the porch with drinks in hand. Laughter drifted across the yard, mixing with the smell of alcohol, weed, and cigarette smoke lingering in the warm night air.
You looked toward his car one more time before lifting your chin.
Tonight was about making sure he regretted it.
You weave your way through the crowded side yard, careful not to twist an ankle on the uneven gravel. The deeper you move into the party, the louder everything becomes.ย
Music blasts from speakers somewhere near the house, vibrating through your chest while groups of people crowd around folding tables and lawn chairs scattered across the backyard. Strings of lights hang overhead, casting a warm glow across the sea of students packed shoulder to shoulder.
Your eyes immediately begin searching for a familiar head of pink hair.
When you finally spot him, you nearly laugh.
Of course.
You watch Sukuna as his arm candy practically hangs off him, clinging to his bicep like she paid for the privilege. He stands at the end of a long table watching a group of underclassmen frantically play flip cup.
Empty cans and half-finished drinks clutter every inch of the table, and judging by the way everyone around them is yelling, this is less of a game and more of a public humiliation ritual disguised as entertainment.
You couldn't care less.
You didn't come here just to stand on the sidelines.
You make a beeline towards him, people parting around you as you move through the crowd.
They knew who you were.
By the time you reached the opposite end of the table, several of the players had already noticed your arrival. A few glanced between you and Sukuna with poorly concealed curiosity, while others openly stared, their attention drifting away from the game entirely.ย
News traveled fast in Greek life after all, and your breakup had been very, very bad, and very, very public.
It had only been two months since the two of you imploded at Tau Kappa Epsilon's start-of-the-semester mixer, and judging by the looks you were getting, nobody had forgotten about it.
You certainly hadn't.
The entire night had started with you watching Sukuna make his way through the party, surrounded by girls.ย
At first, you'd ignored it.ย
Then, you'd tolerated it.ย
Eventually, we were out for blood.ย
What started as a few sharp comments quickly turned into a screaming match in front of half the fraternity, and shortly after, you were throwing empty liquor bottles at his head while he tried to snatch you up and drag you to his car.
The argument continued all the way back to your dorm. Neither of you had ever been particularly good at fighting fair, and once the two of you got going, there was no such thing as a line that couldn't be crossed.ย
Every insecurity, every bad habit, and every mistake either of you had ever made became ammunition. By the time he pulled into the parking lot, you were both angry enough to say things you couldn't take back.
You told him you were done with him.ย
Then, because hurting him suddenly seemed more important than just walking away, you told him you were sleeping with your RA.
The lie worked far better than you'd intended.
At the time, you'd expected him to react the way he always did. You figured he would disappear for a few days, cool off, and eventually find his way back to you.ย
Instead, he vanished completely.ย
For an entire week, you tried contacting him. You texted, called, showed up outside his classes, stopped by his apartment, even waited outside his job, hoping to catch him before he left.ย
Every attempt ended exactly the same way, with him ignoring you.
Eventually, you stopped trying when he started showing up to places with another girl, a mere 10 days after your split.
You tried to convince yourself you didn't care.
That delusion lasted right up until you saw her wearing a gold bracelet he'd bought for you. You'd left it behind out of spite, never imagining he'd ever hand it over to somebody else as if you had never existed.
That was when you really began to spiral.
For weeks, mutual friends had been telling you that Sukuna hated you now and never wanted to see you again.ย
Maybe there was some truth to that, maybe there wasn't.ย
Either way, you had never truly believed he was indifferent. You knew Sukuna too well for that.
Your relationship had always been toxic.ย
The constant fighting, jealousy, breakups, makeupsโnone of it was healthy, and neither of you had ever pretended otherwise. But for all the damage you'd done to each other over the years, there was one thing you'd never doubted.
Sukuna was utterly and completely obsessed with you.
And judging by the way his attention locked onto you the second you stepped in front of him, completely ignoring his new girlfriend, you had a feeling he wasn't nearly as over you as he claimed to be.
You cross your arms as you both look at each other.
His expression had darkened significantly since you arrived, and you could feel the rage radiating off of him in waves.
The girl attached to his arm says something to him, but he doesn't take his eyes off you.
Instead, he scowls.
โThe fuck are you doing here?โ he asks, giving you a deadly look.
โI didnโt know I wasnโt allowed to have fun.โ you roll your eyes. โBesides, Iโm here for him.โ
You nod toward the guy standing beside Sukuna.
The vice president, Jacob, immediately points at himself.
โMe?โ
You nod and offer him a small smile.
โYeah. You said you were gonna give me a tour of the house, remember?โ
The lie leaves your mouth effortlessly, and to nobody's surprise, he goes along with it without question, his face immediately breaking into a grin as he straightens slightly, clearly pleased by the attention.
โYeah, of course.โ
You have to stop yourself from laughing.
Around you, the backyard is still packed with people. Music pounds from the speakers mounted beneath the patio roof while groups of students crowd the banister. The flip cup game finally continues in front of you, players shouting over one another as beer splashes across the table, but your attention remains fixed on Sukuna.
Or more specifically, the girl hanging off his arm.
She presses herself against his side, her manicured hand wrapped around his bicep while she smiles up at him. Every now and then, she leans closer to say something in his ear, and every time she does, that ugly feeling in your chest twists a little tighter.ย
You knew there would be other girls after the breakup.ย
You weren't stupid.ย
Still, seeing one draped all over him while he stood there looking completely unbothered by it made your eye twitch, especially when you notice that damn gold bracelet that hung off her wrist.
Your bracelet.
โWere you still offering?โ you ask, turning your attention back to Jacob.
โAbsolutely.โ he smirks and steps towards you.
You step around the corner of the table and slip your arm through his.
The gesture is small, but you immediately see the effect it has. Sukuna's eyes drop to where your hand rests on the poor guy's arm before slowly lifting back to your face. His expression doesn't change much, but you've spent too much time with him not to notice the tension that settles into his posture.
The girl notices it too.
Her smile falters slightly as she glances between the two of you, suddenly looking a little less confident than she had a moment ago.
โReady?โ Jacob asks.
โLead the way.โ you smile.
As he begins guiding you through the crowd, you allow yourself one last glance over your shoulder. Sukuna is still watching you, his attention fixed entirely on you.
Exactly what you wanted.
You let Jacob pull you through the large house, showing you random memorabilia and supposed sacred artifacts of TKE, before he leads you upstairs.
He pushes through the door to his room and holds it open for you, stepping aside so you can walk in.
โAnd this is my cave.โ he smiles at you, his dimples popping out under the dim lighting.
โHm.โ you walk in and run your fingers over his bookshelf.
โSooo.โ he rocks back and forth on his heels. โWanna fuck?โ
You snort and snap your gaze towards him.
โNo.โ
He nods his head and purses his lips as a semi-awkward silence falls over you.
โYouโre tryna make Sukuna jealous, right?โ he asks you.
You raise your eyebrows at his directness.ย
โYeah.โ You don't bother lying. It's not like he was going to do anything about it anyway.
Jacob shakes his head and lets out a breathy laugh as he closes the bedroom door.
โYeah, I figured,โ he says with a lazy smirk. โHopefully he doesn't kill me.โ
โYeahhh.โ You give him an apologetic look. โSorry 'bout that.โ
โIt's fine.โ
You wander further into the room while he leans against the door, giving yourself an excuse to look around. Compared to the rest of the house, it feels strangely normal. The music downstairs is still loud enough to vibrate faintly through the floorboards, but it's muted here.ย
A desk sits beneath the window, covered in textbooks, notebooks, and empty energy drink cans. Fraternity shirts are draped over the back of the chair, and a collection of figurines and random trinkets crowd the shelves lining one wall.
You sit down on the edge of his bed and reach over to pick up one of the figurines sitting on his nightstand.
โYour room is a lot cleaner than I was expecting.โ
Jacob laughs as he pushes himself away from the door.
โWere you expecting a pigsty or something?โ
โYes.โ you set the figurine back down.
โYou're really honest.โ he says, eyeing you.
You snort. โI know someone who would disagree with you.โ
โI think I could probably guess who,โ he chuckles. "I've heard stories about you.โ
โFigured." you mumble as you look at your nails.
โI heard about all the shit you did to Sukuna.โ he grins. โYou're kind of crazy.โ
โYou have no idea, kid.โ you sigh and clasp your hands together in your lap.
His grin only grows.
The conversation slows after that as you lean back on your hands and glance around the room again. Through the open window, you can hear groups of people moving through the backyard below, their voices drifting upward alongside the music.ย
The string lights hanging over the patio cast a warm glow across the room, and every few minutes, another burst of cheers erupts from somewhere outside whenever somebody wins a drinking game.
โI think it's hot.โย
โIs that so?โ you roll your head to the side to look at him.
Jacob shrugs, though the faint redness creeping up his neck gives him away.
โYeah.โ
You let your eyes drift over him openly.
He really is cute. Not enough big muscles or tattoos for your taste, but he looked clean-cut in a way most of the men you found yourself attracted to never were. His hair is slightly messy, his sleeves pushed up to his elbows, and despite trying to act confident, there's still an obvious nervousness lingering in the way he carries himself.
โI guess we could make out if you want.โย
Jacob blinks. โDeadass?โ
โYeah, fuck it.โ you pat the empty spot beside you.
He crosses the room immediately and sits down next to you. The mattress dips beneath his weight, and the closer he gets, the more obvious his nerves become.
His shoulders are stiff, his hands uncertain about where they're supposed to go, and he keeps glancing at you before immediately looking away again.
โWhy do you look so weird?โ you ask with a laugh. โHave you never kissed someone before?โ
โYeah,โ Jacob says, rubbing the back of his neck. โbut no one as hot as you.โ
The answer is so genuine that you can't help smiling.
โJust relax. I'm not gonna hurt you.โ
He lets out a nervous laugh and nods.
โOkay.โ
You shift slightly toward him and watch him swallow. The sounds of the party continue around you as you lean closer. Music hums through the walls, voices drift past the bedroom door, and somewhere downstairs, somebody starts shouting the lyrics to whatever song is playing.
When your lips meet, he freezes for half a second before finally kissing you back.
The kiss starts slowly. You can practically feel him figuring it out as he goes, growing more comfortable each time your lips meet.ย
Eventually, he relaxes enough to slide closer, one hand settling against your side while yours moves up into his hair. The nervous energy he'd been carrying around all night gradually disappears as the kiss deepens.
You barely notice the footsteps in the hallway at first.
People had been walking past the room all night.
It isn't until they stop directly outside the door and nearly swing it off its hinges that either of you pays attention.
You both pull apart immediately.
Jacob's hand drops from your side while yours slips from his hair as you look toward the doorway.
Sukuna stands there.
The hallway light spills in behind him, casting part of his face in shadow, but you don't miss the crazed look in his eyes. His gaze moves from Jacob to you and then back again, taking in the sight of the two of you sitting together on the edge of the bed.
Jacob looks between the two of you nervously.
โHey bro... we were justโโ
โShut the fuck up.โ Sukuna doesn't even glance at him.
His eyes remain locked on yours.
You stare right back.
The tension settles over the room so quickly that it almost suffocates you. Jacob is looking increasingly uncomfortable the longer the silence stretches.
โYou know it's rude to interrupt people who are about to fuck.โ you smirk.
Jacob nearly chokes. โW-We weren'tโ Sukuna, I wouldn'tโโ
โI said shut the fuck up.โ Sukuna finally turns his head toward him. โOr do you want me to break every bone in your scrawny body?โ
Jacob immediately goes silent.
Sukuna's attention returns to you. โYou. Get up. We're leaving.โ
โYeah, fuck no.โ you cross your arms over your chest and lean back slightly. โWho the hell do you think you're talking to?โ
The muscle in his jaw jumps.
For a moment, neither of you moves.
Then, Sukuna crosses the room.
The distance disappears so quickly that you barely have time to react before his hand closes around your arm. His grip is firm as he pulls you to your feet, forcing a startled curse from your lips while Jacob immediately stands.
โBro, chillโโ
โSit down.โ
Jacob sits.
Immediately.
You would laugh if you weren't busy trying to wrench your arm free.
โSukuna, let go of me.โ
โNo.โ
โI'm serious.โ
โSo am I.โ
You glare up at him, but he doesn't budge. If anything, his grip tightens as he starts dragging you toward the door. The music grows louder with every step closer to the hallway, while students pass by outside completely oblivious to what's happening inside the room.
โSukuna!โ
โKeep walking.โ
โYou are actually insane.โ
โYeah?โ he finally looks down at you. โAnd what does that make you?โ
You keep your mouth shut at that, because unfortunately, you both already know the answer to that question.
Still gripping your arm, Sukuna drags you into an empty bathroom at the end of the hall.
He all but tosses you inside before he slams the door shut behind him and locks it.
โThe fuck is your problem?โ you growl as soon as the bathroom door slams shut behind you.
You rub at the spot where his fingers had been digging into your skin. His jaw is clenched so tightly you can see the muscle twitching beneath his skin, and the veins running along his forearms are noticeably raised from how hard he's balled his hands into fists.
โYou wanna tell me what the fuck you were doing with my vice president's tongue down your throat?โ Sukuna asks, standing between you and the door.
You drag your eyes over him and almost smile.
The calmness in his voice only makes him look crazier.
โUh, like I said, we were about to fuck before you barged in like some angry caveman.โ you reply with a roll of your eyes.
โYou think it's okay to fucking embarrass me like that in front of the whole frat?โ Sukuna takes a step closer. โI'm their president. How do you think it makes me look when my batshit fucking crazy ex shows up and starts drooling over every guy she sees?โ
โI don't give a shit about how you look,โ you scoff. โand why do you care who I sleep with? I'm not your girlfriend.โ
A humorless laugh escapes him as he drags a hand down his face.
โOh, so that's what this is about?โ he asks. โYou're mad I don't want your ass anymore?โ
The smile on his face doesn't reach his eyes.
โI don't care what you want or don't want.โ you cross your arms over your chest. โWe both know I have no issue getting whoever I want. Half your frat would probably get on their knees for me if I asked.โ
โSee, that's your fucking problem.โ Sukuna points at you as he takes another step forward. โYou always think you're the center of everything. Always convinced everyone is obsessed with you.โ
He gives you a cruel smile when he stops right in front of you.
โBut the truth is that without me, you fade into the background,โ he says, his voice dropping lower as he stares down at you. โBecause there is nothing interesting about you. You're just another fucking slut who happens to have a pretty face.โ
For a second, your stomach twists painfully, but then you look at him standing there breathing hard enough that his chest is rising and falling beneath his shirt.ย
His hands are still clenched, shoulders still tense. He still looks one wrong word away from punching a hole through the bathroom wall.
And suddenly the whole thing feels ridiculous.
โThen why are we here, dear king of frats?โ you ask, tilting your head as you look up at him.
Sukuna's jaw flexes. You watch his eyes narrow, but he doesn't answer.
Instead, he stares at you while the music downstairs continues vibrating faintly through the floor, and voices drift past the bathroom door.ย
The silence lasts long enough for you to know you've hit a nerve.
Because really, he knows you're right.
If he didn't care, he'd still be downstairs. If he were really over you, he would've let Jacob have his little tour and stayed with his girlfriend.
Instead, he'd marched through a house full of people, dragged you out of another man's room, and locked the two of you in a bathroom because the idea of you touching someone else made him lose his fucking mind.
โThat's what I thought,โ you say softly.
The corner of Sukuna's eye twitches. The look he gives you is murderous.
Good.
You want him angry.
Jealous even.
You want him to feel every miserable thing you've felt for the last two months.
โYou're unbelievable,โ Sukuna mutters.
โYet here you are.โ you glare at him.
The words barely leave your mouth before his hand closes around your jaw, causing your breath to catch. His grip isn't gentle.
Neither of you wants it to be.
For a second, he just stands there staring down at you, his thumb pressed against your cheek while anger, frustration, and something far more desperate flickers behind his eyes.
Then he pulls you forward and crashes his mouth against yours.
You kiss him back immediately.
The kiss is rough from the start. Your lower back hits the counter with a sharp thud as his free hand grips your waist. Every ounce of tension that had been building between you explodes at once.
Your tongues slide messily against each other as he brings both hands to grip your ass through your dress.ย
You pull away to smirk at him. โYou missed me, huh?โ
โI fucking hate you.โ he growls out before crushing his mouth against yours again.
You reach a hand down between you two to slide it into the waistband of his joggers, his growing bulge jumping in your hand, causing him to groan loudly.
โYou sure?โ you reach down further to cup his heavy balls in your palm, โYour dick seems to say otherwise.โย
You give him a toothy grin that's laced with pure sadism.
His jaw hardens noticeably, but he allows you to feel him, his eyes never leaving yours. Heโs always been known for his cocky attitude and brutal nature, yet he stands there, letting your pretty hands wander wherever they wanted like you own him.
His breathing hitches, barely audible under the muffled noise of the party downstairs.
You lick your lips as you slowly watch his composure crumble under your touch. You bring your hand back up to wrap around his girth, stroking him slowly as he grows to full mass.
โYou think you can control me with a few touches?โ he breathes out.
โI know I can, baby.โ you blink up at him, fluttering your lashes just the way you know he likes.ย
A low, dangerous growl rumbles from his chestโhis cock visibly twitching under your palm in agreement despite his pride trying to fight it. He reaches a hand up to grip your chin again, harder this time, forcing your face closer to his.
โGet on your knees.โ his voice is barely above a whisper, deadly and dangerous.
You look at him with lidded eyes, arousal and yearning swirling around them as you speak.
โNo.โ
His pupils dilate as they watch the smirk tugging at your lips.
โI think you need to earn it.โ you say.
He growls, the sound low and satisfied as his eyes lock in with yours. He knows exactly what youโre hinting at, and heโs willing to show you just how badly he deserves it.
With a sudden movement, he turns you around, pressing your hips into the cold counter and pulling up your dress. He groans as he notices you arenโt wearing any panties.
โGod, no panties? Dirty girl.โ he reaches down to run his fingers through your wetness.
You let out a breathy moan as he drops to his knees behind you.
He doesn't hesitate. His hands grip your hips like a vice, pulling them back until your ass is perfectly presented in front of him.ย
โLean forward.โ he presses a large hand against the center of your back.ย
You immediately oblige, your arms reaching out to brace your weight against the counter.
He spreads your cheeks before he buries his face between them, his tongue immediately finding that tight, pouting heat heโs been dreaming about for months.
He groans against your flesh, his eyes closing in bliss as his tongue drags slowly up your slit.
You let out a shaky breath, your arms trembling as they already struggle to hold up your weight.
His tongue drags along the center seam of your ass, not caring about the slight hair there. He braces one hand on your hip, the other curling around your thigh to hold you in place.
โStay still.โ
He begins to eat you out slowly, but deeply.
You sigh as your knees knock together at the sensations overwhelming your core.
He grips both thighs now, forcing your knees apart with his palms. His tongue spreads your folds, tasting your arousal like it's the sweetest nectar.ย
He groans against your skin, his grip tightening possessively. His eyes are closed in concentration, giving you the attention he always reserved only for you.
โSpread wider.โ he commands.
You shuffle your feet further apart, opening your core up for him more.
He rewards your obedience by diving deeper, his tongue plunging into you with a wet, obscene sound. His chin presses against your clit, the friction driving you wild.
โOh fuckโฆโ you whine as your head falls forward.
He uses his thumbs to spread your cheeks even wider apart, giving him full access.ย
There he was.ย
The self-proclaimed frat king on his knees, worshipping your sweet pussy like it's his only reason for existence.
โKuna.โ you pant out as you feel his tongue slide in and out of your hole.
He curls it inside you, mimicking his cock as he eats you out desperately. Slick sounds fill the bathroom as he works you open, his breath hot against your dripping folds.ย
One of his hands slides up to pull the front of your dress down, exposing your tits before he grips one firmly.
โMm, your pussy missed daddy, huh?โ he murmurs against you before sucking your clit hard between his lips.
You jerk forward at the sharp pleasure.ย
โYesโฆfuck yes, babyโฆโ you moan as you grind filthily back onto his face.
He growls against your clit, the vibration making your thighs shake violently. He keeps his grip on your soft mound of flesh, his fingers pinching and twisting the stiff peak as you grind shamelessly against his mouth.
His tongue swirls around your sensitive bundle of nerves before sucking it back in ruthlessly, the wet slurping noises echoing off the walls and shooting right back into your core, making your quivering hole leak all over his nose and chin.
โMissed every fucking inch of this messy, fucking cunt.โ
He pulls back to spit directly on your pulsing clit before he dives back in to lap at your slick entrance.
โOh shit! K-Kunaโฆโ your legs can barely hold you up at this point. โI-Iโm gonna fuckinโ cum, baby.โ you moan as you grind harder against him.
Your hole clenches violently as drool and slick drips out and down your puffy lips.
He swallows, his tongue catching every drop with a slow, deliberate suck. His eyes roll slightly at your words, the smell of your arousal and taste of you on his tongue overwhelming him.
โGood girl, fucking cum all over my tongue.โ he sets a steady rhythm, trying to give you that last push you need to fall over the edge.
โOhhhh babyโฆjust like that..โ you moan as your breathing turns into rapid pants, your entire pussy burning as the pleasure begins to pool. โGonna cummmm.โ
His ego swells with pride at your pleasure, his tongue making bolder, more aggressive movements against your swollen, hard clit.
He spreads your cheeks wider, almost pulling them taut as he fully sucks your wet folds entirely into his mouth. He runs his tongue over them as he slurps them up, his eyes fluttering closed as he laps up your juices like a man dying of thirst.
You gasp as your body slowly stiffens, your hole clenching violently around nothing as your orgasm builds tighter and tighter.
โS-So closeโฆโ you whimper out, your face pressed onto the counter as you squeeze your eyes shut.
โCum for me.โ he growls out as he pulls away slightly, his tongue flicking rapidly over your clit. โMake a fuckinโ mess for me.โ
He dives back in to suck your whole pussy back into his mouth, swirling his tongue up and down, back and forth through your heat.
Your orgasm hits violently, your twitching slit gushing wet streams directly onto his face and tongue. He catches every drop with absolute devotion, mouth moving rhythmically against you, guiding you through your trembling release.
โKuuunaaa fuuckkk yes!โ you moan loudly into your arm, your body locking up as you grind your achy, leaky cunt all over him.
He doesnโt pull away as he swallows your fluids, not stopping until you're shaking from overstimulation.
Once finished, he presses a wet, open-mouthed kiss to your swollen clit before standing and pulling himself from his joggers.
You're still panting as he grips the base of his cock and rubs it against you.
โIโm gonna fuck this tight fucking pussy so hard.โ he groans as he rubs his precum over your slick entrance.
Right before he can sink into you, you stand and pull your dress down.
โHuh?โ he looks genuinely confused as he watches you adjust your dress back over your chest.
You sigh and turn on shaky legs before planting a kiss on his clothed chest.ย
โThis was fun.โ you smirk up at his confused expression.ย
You can practically see the wheels turning in his head as he tries to figure out why you look like youโre about to leave.
Before he can think too long, you flash him a smile and unlock the bathroom door to step back into the hallway.
He watches the door shut behind you, his cock in hand and a stupid look stuck on his face.
You smirk as you walk down the stairs and towards the front door.
Yeah, heโs not going anywhere.
need him BAD

Sukuna had been going to Toji for his sports massages for years.ย
Theyโd known each other since college, back when Toji would practice his craft on Sukuna for free on the path to getting his certification. Now Sukuna actually paid the guy to dig his elbow into his back once a month, certain that Tojiโs impact had a lot to do with how effective Sukuna had been at avoiding silly injuries throughout his boxing career.ย
Toji was a rare gem amongst masseuses - strong enough and mean enough to do his job well, unconcerned by how much it might hurt to relieve Sukunaโs body of all the stress heโd put it under week after week.ย
He was the only person Sukuna trusted to do it effectively, and when he walked into Tojiโs gym one day only for the receptionist to tell him that Toji wasnโt available thanks to a family emergency, he was devastated.ย
Part of him had considered cancelling on the spot, turning around and walking straight out the door, prepared to wait for a different time slot when Toji would be available. But his shoulder had been killing him lately and he could really do with some relief, so against his better judgement he sucked it up and agreed to see the other masseuse that worked at Tojiโs gym.ย
Upon walking into the treatment room, he immediately decided that heโd made a mistake at the sight of you standing before him, all soft and pretty and welcoming in a way that Toji never was. You didnโt look like the type to be willing or even capable of inflicting pain upon anyone - he doubted heโd even be able to feel your tiny hands once they were pressed against his back.ย
Call him sexist, but he really believed that men were just better suited for that line of work.ย
Sure, a nice, relaxing massage would be better delivered by a woman, but a sports massage? He doubted you had the strength for what he needed.ย
โSukuna, right?โ Youโd asked, peering up at him with wide eyes. โItโs nice to meet you. Remove your clothes and cover yourself with a towel, Iโll give you a few moments to get settled-โย
โNo need,โ he said sharply. โWhenโs Toji back?โย
You wavered. โWeโre not quite sure. His daughter was in some kind of sudden accident, he might not return for a few weeks, he needs to be there for his family in this difficult timeโฆโ You trailed off before continuing, taking stock of the resignation on Sukunaโs face. โI can assure you that Iโm perfectly capable of attending to your needs. Toji hired me personally and can vouch for my skill.โย
Chewing on his lip, Sukuna appraised you once more. You were a pretty thing, even in the ugly green uniform that Toji had picked for his specialists. His thoughts lingered on what you mightโve meant when you said that Toji could vouch for your skill - did you mean that in a clinical manner, or was Toji using you for different means?ย
Sukuna wouldnโt have been surprised if the latter was the case. You were his type which meant you were probably also Tojiโs type, a thought that had a fresh wave of dread washing over him because if Toji had only hired you because youโd been sleeping with him, Sukuna was in for a rough massage.ย
โHappy? Or are you gonna throw a tantrum?โ You asked, a little impatiently, your hands firm on your hips. He was almost impressed by the bite in your voice, but it still didn't particularly convince him youโd be any good at this.
However, the flex of his arm as he moved a little reminded him just how much he needed this massage, so biting back his pride he nodded, speaking through gritted teeth. โWhatever, sure.โย
You looked far from impressed, but upheld your professional image regardless. โGreat, you get yourself comfortable. Iโll be right back.โย
It took Sukuna all of five minutes to realise that he mightโve underestimated you.ย
Heโd laid down on the table as normal, half expecting to spend his half-hour session asleep, figuring he could at least catch up on that if you were no good at what heโd paid you to do. And to start with, youโd been as gentle as heโd expected, your hands running tenderly over the muscles in his back, no doubt impressed by them.
But that was where your kindness stopped.ย
โYouโre carrying a lot of tension up here.โ You spoke matter of factly, fingers prodding a knot on the upper left side of his back. โIt must be painful to sleep on your side right now.โย
Sukuna grunted in affirmation, uninterested in making conversation or doing anything that might make you feel praised, even if you were technically right in your assumption. You didnโt seem deterred, it was almost like you were expecting him to be difficult, and he wondered if Toji had warned you about him in advance.ย
Walking around the table, you positioned yourself in the optimal place to work at the knot, and Sukuna found himself caught mid eye-roll when your palm dug into his back with much greater force than before, working away at the knot with enough strength that he found his fingers curling.ย
That was how much of the rest of his session went.ย
Heโd been wrong to assume that you were too weak, because youโd worked at each section of his body with more ferocity than Toji usually would, almost like you were trying to teach him a lesson. Any knot found in his back and legs had been thoroughly beaten back into place, scared off by the skilled nature of your fingers.ย
When you were done, allowing him to sit up, a towel still wrapped around his midsection, he felt thoroughly frazzled, his red eyes a little hazy. His back felt better than it ever had before, the ghost of your fingers still prominent against his tanned skin. He had to admit that your touch felt nicer on him than Tojiโs did.
Not that he should be thinking about that.ย
โAll good?โ You asked coolly, as if this was just run of the mill for you. He supposed it probably was. โIf thereโs something Iโve missed let me know and we can go over it again.โย
โUh- n-no.โ He couldโve died of embarrassment at the way he stuttered, emasculated even further by you grinning down at him in amusement. The worst thing was that he couldnโt really decide if he was humiliated or turned on, or maybe both.ย
There was one particular body part of his that seemed to know the answer to that question, and he really hoped that you wouldnโt notice the slightly raised portion of the towel hugging his hips.ย
โGreat, then youโre all good to go. Since you only come by once a month, Toji should be back by your next appoint-โย
โActually I think I need another appointment next week. My shoulderโs been acting up.โ It was almost like an out of body experience, the words leapt from his throat before he could stop them and now you were smirking harder and he hated it and maybe he hated you.ย
โOh, it seemed alright-โย
โWell it's not.โ He snapped, red gaze unwavering. You blinked at him a few times, staring down at him like you were trying to figure him out. It was clear that youโd been fully aware of his animosity towards you when heโd walked in, seemingly both puzzled and amused by his change of heart.ย
โOkay, sure. Iโve got an opening this time next week?โย
โGreat, Iโll be there.โย
Sukuna didnโt like to admit how much he thought about you throughout that week. He especially didnโt like to admit to the sheer number of times heโd awoken with wet boxers, the dream of your touch still prominent in his mind.ย
He wasnโt sure what it was about you that had infected his brain so thoroughly. Sure, you were hot, but so were plenty of women, and Sukuna rarely had them rattling about in his head. It probably had more to do with your physical strength and perhaps your resolve, because even when heโd written you off, youโd shown him exactly what you were worth.
That, and the fact he couldnโt seem to get your condescending smirk out of his mind any less than he could stop feeling the ghost of your touch. He wasnโt used to meeting women who would treat him like that, more accustomed to the type that would fawn at his feet, those who were vapid and boring.ย
And you certainly werenโt that.ย
In the time between appointments, heโd even seen you across the gym when heโd been lifting weights. He imagined that you were there a lot, now that he could see your muscles, unobscured by those stupid clothes Toji made you wear. It wasnโt surprising that heโd never noticed you before, tending to stay in his own little bubble of focus at the gym, but now that he was aware of you he could barely tear his eyes away.ย
You were strong, so strong, doing weighted pull-ups with 20kg attached to you like it weighed nothing. And based on the way that his heart sped up at the sight, beating almost into overdrive as you smiled at him upon noticing his stare, he found that shit immensely attractive.ย
Shit, he really hoped Toji hadnโt been fucking you. That would suck.
Sukuna visited you again, and again you gave him the best massage of his life, driving your elbow into his back with a force that had him seeing stars. His heart fluttered with each simple touch of your hands, mind hazy with need as your fingers worked on his shoulders and he found himself wishing you were working on a different part of him.ย
That was how things continued for weeks, in which Sukuna spent an ungodly amount of money just to have you touch him again, pretending that he had various issues which he certainly didnโt because youโd thoroughly removed all his knots and tensions during his very first visit. But he wasnโt sure what else he could do, addicted to your touch and unable to find a more effective way to be close to you.ย
Because he was almost certain that you didnโt really like him.ย
Whenever he appeared, trying to make small talk or even flirt, youโd brush him off coolly, getting straight to the point, urging him to lay down and silencing him beneath the harsh and strong movements of your hands. He had no better luck at the end of sessions either, for youโd hurry him along claiming that you had another client waiting.ย
The waiting room was usually empty when Sukuna left so he doubted the legitimacy of your claim, but youโd left him at something of a loss as to how to handle you.ย
To be honest, he wasnโt accustomed to chasing after women. Usually, heโd sleep with whatever women chose to throw themselves at him, seeking fleeting pleasure in the form of one night stands, never putting much effort into seeking out someone he liked - as long as they were hot he tended to be game.ย
And then there was you, throwing his whole system and all of his beliefs completely out of check, because sure, he wanted to fuck you, but he also wanted to know you, and it was pissing him off that after several weeks of coming to you unfalteringly, he was no closer to you than he had been in that first session.ย
What hurt even more was the one afternoon that he came in for his appointment, figuring that heโd finally bite the bullet, swallow his pride, and just ask you out, only to find Toji waiting for him in the treatment room.ย
โHey man, howโs it going?โ Toji looked a little tired, having spent the last couple of months helping his daughter recover from her accident. Sukuna felt a flicker of annoyance at the sight of him, frustrated that his plans for the afternoon had been ruined.ย
โGood.โ Sukuna said warily. โI didnโt realise you were back.โย
He shrugged. โTsumikiโs mom can look after her for a bit and I was going stir-crazy. Figured Iโd come back to work and get back on a normal schedule.โย
โThatโs great.โย
โYeah, figured Iโd give my cover a bit of a break, Iโm sure you were fuckinโ awful to her while I was gone.โย
Sukuna hummed, chewing on his lip. โI mean, she was adequate, I guess.โย
Toji seemed to suddenly perk up at his words, green eyes narrowing as he peered at Sukunaโs face. Sukuna tried to stay nonchalant, staring back at his friend like there was nothing more to be said on the matter.ย
โShe was adequate?โ He asked slowly.ย
โSure.โย
โReally? I thought youโd be cursing my name for letting some girl take care of you.โย
โWell, she was decent, what else is there to say?โ Sukuna snapped, wondering how he could ask Toji if he could switch over to being your patient permanently without taking a massive hit to his pride.ย
Clearly, he hadnโt hidden the emotion in his voice as well as he shouldโve, because Toji was tilting his head to the side in question, a slowly growing smirk stretching across his face. โGot something you wanna tell me dude? You said youโd rather die than let someone else handle your massages.โ
โNothing.โ He hissed quickly. โIt was fine, just fine. I donโt pay you to talk, I got somewhere to be.โย
โOkay, okay,โ Toji said with a raise of his hands, but the grin didnโt falter and Sukuna hated that.ย
Tojiโs massage sucked.ย
He didnโt think that anything had actually changed in terms of what Toji did - the issue was that it wasnโt your hands pressing against his back, it wasn't the sound of your gentle breaths cutting through the silence of the room.ย
It was disappointing, and he was humiliated that he actually felt that way.
He didnโt return for an appointment for a full month after that, going back to his usual schedule now that Toji had returned. Heโd seen you in the gym a few times, but you were always working out with friends or sometimes guys and despite all his confidence there was something in him that felt afraid to approach you. He cared too much about the idea of you turning him down, laughing in his face like he had a chance.
So he left you be, and resigned himself to his fate.ย
When his next appointment rolled around, heโd gone into his usual room, waiting glumly for Toji to arrive, hoping for the entire encounter to be done swiftly. There was no joy in it now, it was nothing beyond a necessity for him to maintain his physical health.ย
His heart had practically leapt from his throat when youโd walked in through the door instead of Toji, greeting him with the smallest upturn of your lips.ย
โHey.โย
โHey!โ His words came out an octave higher than usual, and you couldnโt hide the smile it drew from you, sending humiliation coursing through him. That seemed to be a regular response in all matters concerning you, and he tried his best to push the feeling aside. โToji back off work?โ
โNo, heโs here. He just gave your appointment to me, said Iโm better suited for your needs.โย
โOh.โ
Sukuna wanted to crawl in a hole and die, unable to stop imagining how that conversation wouldโve gone down. Did Toji have a big grin on his face when heโd told you about the change? Had his tone been particularly suggestive, betraying exactly what Sukuna felt when he was around you?ย
โI can call him in if youโd prefer him though? Heโs not got a patient right now so-โย
โNo.โ Sukuna was quick to interrupt you, โitโs fine.โย
โJust fine, huh?โ You mused, seemingly to yourself. You didnโt give Sukuna a chance to admit that he was glad for the change, swiftly moving on and telling him to get undressed, sweeping out of the room for a few moments while he got himself settled atop the table, his heart racing at a hundred miles a minute.ย
He hadnโt realised just how much heโd missed your touch until your hands were on him once more, sturdy in their feel but somehow much softer than Tojiโs. Youโd remained silent as youโd gone through your usual routine, quiet and even breaths falling from your lips, fingers pressing on the knots that had reformed at the base of his neck and in his shoulders. For once he actually needed to see you, having grown tense in your absence over the past few weeks.ย
โIs the pressure okay?โ Youโd asked softly, to which he replied with a quiet grunt of affirmation, because of course it was, you always knew exactly what to do to ease his strained body.ย
He wondered how it would feel to have your steady hands wrapped around his cock, squeezing with just the right intensity to have him unravelling.ย
โAdequate, would you say?โ You asked, with an amused lilt. Sukuna froze up, any tension that youโd eased immediately flooded back into his shoulders at the words heโd spoken to Toji about you during his last session.ย
That bastard had really sold him out. He was probably in his office laughing about that shit.ย
โI said you were decent, actually,โ he mumbled, figuring that he might as well stand up for himself. The sweet quality of your giggle caught him off guard, eyes widening in shock because he wasnโt sure heโd ever heard you laugh before. You were usually so stoic with him, never offering him anything more than a smug smile.ย
โIs that so?โ
โYeah. Why else would I be here so damn often?โย
You hummed, fingers still pressing into the muscles of his upper back. โThatโs what Iโve been trying to figure out, since we both know thereโs nothing wrong with your shoulder.โย
Falling silent, he felt his cheeks warm under the question. He was usually so in control where women were concerned, usually he was the cat toying with a mouse, but he felt that the roles had been thoroughly switched now. Still, you continued stroking his back, his cock hardening with each careful move of your fingers.ย
He was convinced he was leaking onto the towel below him when he heard you let out a gentle sigh. โSometimes, Iโm almost convinced that you come here just to see me. But that would be crazy, right? You mustโve spent a small fortune at this point.โย
Sukuna didnโt want to think about how much money heโd spent in the last two months, but he couldn't say that he regretted a single penny. Fortunately, he was accustomed to winning his matches and through competition earnings and sponsors he had more than enough to afford it.ย
Though, that money could certainly be better spent on you rather than half of it lining Tojiโs pockets.ย
โWould you like it if that was the reason?โ He felt like a teenager again, trying to feel out a crush before committing to something that might end in rejection.ย
โI think Iโd be confused as to why you didnโt just ask me out.โ You giggled again, hands stilling but not pulling away from their position on his back.ย
Well, now he felt a little stupid.ย
โI think Iโd be flattered though. Maybe I'd even be interested,โ you continued.
โMaybe?โ He asked, heart fluttering. He was still staring down at the floor through the hole in the table, completely at your mercy, only able to imagine what expression you were wearing as you peered down at him, completely distracted now from the task at hand.ย
โMmmm, hypothetically, if that was the reason.โ
Sukuna swallowed hard, starting to catch on to the fact that you wanted him to speak the words out loud, to swallow his pride and confess his desires. He hated how you always had the upper hand with him, always in control since the very first time heโd met you. He hated how much he liked it, how much he wanted to do whatever you told him to.ย
โI want you.โ The words came out all matter of fact, spoken more like he was listing groceries rather than confessing. He wanted to brush over it and get to the part where you were his, the moment that youโd climb on top of him and ride him until he couldnโt breathe, your hands pressing at his shoulders while you did so.ย
But you were something of a sadist, because instead of simply accepting his confession, you said: โmore.โย
And he didnโt hesitate, throwing himself over the threshold because now heโd admitted to his liking of you, what was the point in maintaining a stoic sense of pride?ย
He pushed himself up onto his forearms, twisting around to look at you. โIโm here because I canโt stop thinking about you, hell I fuckinโ dream about you. I want you, I want you to touch me more, fuck.โย
โYeah?โ Your expression was ecstatic, eyes glimmering with glee. Sukuna suddenly found himself overly aware of how naked he was and how dressed you were, feeling almost shy under this newly found attention.ย
โYeah, I mean, look at you.โย
โItโs funny, when you first showed up here a few months ago, you didnโt seem to like me much at all.โย
His body literally sagged, wishing he could go back and undo all the rudeness from the first time heโd met you. At this point heโd been thoroughly humbled - youโd proven that women could be just as effective at giving sport massages as men, and youโd also stolen his heart in the process. He had really learned his lesson.ย
โSorry. I was a jerk.โย
โYou were. It was cute hearing you stutter after that first session though, really adorable stuff.โย
โStop.โ He groaned, his cheeks reddening.ย
โPretty sure you were hard too.โย
He had been, just like he was in that moment, but he hated the fact that youโd known and had said absolutely nothing for two months. He was torn between wanting to implode beneath the weight of his own cringe, and being the happiest heโd ever felt, because he was pretty sure that through all your teasing this was you accepting his confession.ย
โI also really liked watching you invent excuses to come back every week. My friends were sure you were gonna ask me out.โย
Sukuna shrugged, sitting up properly now and trying to relax. It wasnโt often that heโd been free to peer so openly at your face like he was right now, and it was a tough task to keep himself calm because you were just so lovely and he really wanted to lean forward and kiss you. He wanted you on the table with him - on top of him, beneath him, whatever - he just needed you.
โLook, I didnโt wanna seem like a creep and overstep a professional boundary,โ he confessed. โI was scared it would be one of those situations where a guy thinks a stripper loves him.โย
Again you laughed. โAw, that's actually kind of a sweet consideration. Toji told me that you were a jerk through and through, but I guess heโs wrong.โย
Sukuna pouted at the idea of Toji telling you anything about him, although his buddy clearly did a somewhat decent job at wingmaning considering heโd orchestrated the current situation.ย
โI actually thought youโd approach me when I was working out. I was always smiling at you in the gym but youโd never come over.โย
God, he really was an idiot.ย
He wanted to kick himself for not catching on sooner that you were open to his advances. It was something of an embarrassment for someone who usually held such confidence.ย
โAgain, I didnโt want to be one of those gross gym bros trying to bother a girl while sheโs working out,โ he mumbled. โI didnโt know- I wasnโt sure if youโd be interested in me so I didnโt want to risk it.โย
โWell I am. Interested in you, I mean.โย
He blinked at you a couple of times, red eyes scanning your face almost in disbelief. He wasnโt sure why it came as a surprise to him, since heโd never had much of an issue getting women to like him, but for some reason youโd just seemed so unattainable. Youโd always seemed aloof to him in a way that suggested his chances of dating you were about the same as dating a celebrity.ย
And yet, here you were.ย
โOh.โย
There was a moment of silence before Sukuna recovered, remembering that he was usually good with women and letting his body spring into action. His hands found your hips, tugging you forward and positioning you between his legs which were dangling over the side of the table. The towel had kept its position around his waist, but left little to the imagination as he held you there between his muscular thighs.ย
Lips crashing against yours, his arms wrapped firmly around your torso, pulling you closer into his grip and allowing him to deepen the kiss. You tasted faintly of honey and were just as addictive, a desire for more surging through him as he explored your mouth, your tongue dancing with his as though youโd done this a million times before.ย
Bravely, his hands toyed with the hem of your shirt, lifting it experimentally, thrilled when you aided him in pulling it off over your head, leaving you in your sports bra which he was equally quick to discard. It was nice to have his hands on your skin for a change, running his fingers over the muscles of your back as you lost yourselves in the kiss once more. He wondered if youโd enjoy him massaging you, or if youโd find his untrained attempts rather pathetic.ย
You didnโt give him much chance to find out, thoroughly distracting him with the slow movement of your hands down the length of his torso, stopping only once you reached the edge of the white towel covering him. He gasped against your mouth once your hand slipped beneath, fingers brushing gently against his pubic hair before finding the shaft of his cock.ย
โHow about you lay back for me?โ You murmured, breaking the kiss, eyes blown wide with desire. Sukunaโs cock twitched in your hand at the question, more than happy for you to tell him what to do. He shuffled back on the table, laying down on his back and relaxing as you hopped up on top of him, your knees placed firmly on either side of his thighs.
Your hand was stroking his cock languidly, lashes fluttering enticingly as you stared down at him, clearly enjoying the pleasure gripping his face with each careful touch. Your other hand was stroking his thigh, slowly massaging the muscle where dark bands of ink wrapped around his skin.ย
โIโve always liked these.โ You hummed, eyes flickering to the tattoos. โI admire them whenever you come in.โย
โOh yeah?โย
โMmm. Theyโre hot.โย
Again, Sukuna was twitching in your hand, caught off guard by the impact the simplest of compliments seemed to have on him so long as they were falling from your lips. A low groan escaped from him as you squeezed his cock a little harder, running your hand along the length of it with the same expert motions youโd use on his back.ย
Generally, when women had tried jerking him off in the past, it had never felt quite as good as it did to simply get himself off with his own hands - it was impossible for them to understand his body in the way that he did. And yet, under your touch he was writhing desperately, his stomach tensing with each firm stroke, trying to hold it together despite the fact he could already feel himself coming undone.
It was clear that you knew what to do - switching up the pressure and the nature of your movements, testing to see what had him shivering with the greatest intensity. Occasionally, your thumb would swipe the tip, spreading pre-cum down his shaft, all while you kept eye contact with him, your legs squeezing hard against his thighs.ย
โIs the pressure good?โ You asked in a low tone, a teasing smile on your pretty face, speaking to him like this was just another normal appointment, like your hand was wrapped around his bicep rather than his cock.ย
โYou know it is.โ He managed to huff out, his face scarlet, only spurring you on further.ย
โAw, good.โ Your hand picked up speed and moments later he was cumming all over your hand, his seed dripping down your fingers, making a mess beneath the towel he was still covered with. Youโd released him, and as you pulled your hand away heโd expected you to wipe it clean on the towel; instead, you raised your fingers to your lips and licked them clean of his cum without a second thought.ย
He was already hard again.ย
Fortunately, you seemed to be one step ahead of him.ย
Unravelling the towel hanging off his hips, you freed his cock from its confines. He watched you carefully, noting the way your eyes gazed upon it, the way your throat bobbed with a gulp at the sight. That, at the very least, restored his ego to some extent - for once he didnโt feel like he was totally on the backfoot with you.ย
โImpressed?โ He asked, puffing out his chest with pride.ย
โYeah, actually,โ you responded easily. โVery impressed.โย
Once again, he felt shy beneath your easy confidence, still not quite used to how easily you would say what was on your mind. There were no games, no manipulation, no pretending that you cared about something less than you really did.ย
He appreciated it.ย
โThereโs only five minutes left of our session, and Toji needs the room after.โ You said, glancing at the clock on the wall. โDo you think thatโs enough time?โย
It certainly wasnโt enough time for what Sukuna wanted from you. He wanted to spend hours worshipping every part of your body, wanted to eat you out until you were crying, wanted to show you what it was like for him to be in charge. More than anything, he wanted to be buried inside of you until you were both numb and overstimulated, wanted you clinging to him in the throes of exhaustion and pleasure.ย
But none of that seemed fit to do in your treatment room, so it would have to wait for another time.ย
โI think I can be quick,โ he said honestly, only to be met with a smug grin.
โOh, I bet you can.โย
โShut up,โ he mumbled, โitโs not my fault youโve got me all riled up.โย
That earned him another soft laugh, and he found that he was entirely smitten with the sound.ย
โOh, how flattering of you,โ you purred.
โWhat can I say? Iโm charming.โย
You didnโt respond to that, offering him nothing more than an almost shy smile as you discarded the rest of your clothes, a blush lining your cheeks for once as he took in your naked beauty. You were as gorgeous as he expected, and he found his hands trailing down your sides before coming to rest on your hips, wishing he could kiss every inch of you.ย
But you had speed on your mind, and leaving Sukuna in his position laying back on the table, you hovered yourself over his cock, taking it once more in your hand and rubbing it through your folds a few times before lining yourself up and sitting down on it with a quiet little gasp.ย
Sukuna groaned in sheer pleasure at the tightness of your walls wrapped around him, his fingers digging hard into the skin of your hips as he helped ease you down his length until he was buried to the hilt within you. โOh fuck, youโre so tight.โ he groaned.ย
โNo, I think youโre just big.โ You bit back at him with some effort, your hands braced on his chest while you struggled to adjust, thighs trembling ever so slightly.ย
โMaybe.โ He tried to hide how much your comment had swelled his ego.ย
After giving yourself a few moments to breathe, you started to move, raising yourself up and bringing yourself down again on his cock, sweet groans and whines pouring from you as you found a rhythm, doing all the work yourself while Sukuna supported your hips. He was gazing up at you like a man whoโd just witnessed an angel, red eyes shiny with affection at the sight of you on top of him, breasts bouncing with each movement.ย
He couldnโt remember the last time it had felt so good to be inside someone.ย
Probably never.ย
Eager to be closer to you, he propped himself up on his forearms, encouraging you to steady yourself on his shoulders. You leant forward, hands firm against his skin, your breasts pressing up against his chest, forcing you to move from long movements of your hips to simply grinding yourself against him.ย
A yelp left you once Sukuna decided that he wanted to help, thrusting his hips upwards and taking you along for the ride. He picked up a brutal pace, aware that the two of you were on a time limit, chuckling at the way your fingers scrambled for purchase against his skin, finding safety in the familiarity of the shoulders youโd been massaging for weeks.ย
โFeel good?โ He rasped against your ear, aware that your movements had largely stilled, letting him take charge in filling you so thoroughly.
โS-so good,โ you stuttered, and Sukuna felt a sick sense of pleasure at hearing you falter in such a way. Heโd been humiliated enough for a little while and figured it was time for the tables to turn, at least for a little while.ย
He was certain that if things were going to work out between the two of you, heโd find many moments in which you were in control.ย
But right now? This wasnโt one of them.ย
Youโd had your fun, and he was going to have his.ย
Just as heโd wanted, you came before he did. You did your best to muffle your cry of his name by burning your face into his shoulder, but he was sure that youโd still be heard if there were any prying ears on the other side of the door. He couldnโt really care less about such a thing - Toji had heard him having sex plenty of times throughout college.ย
Heโd kept up his movements, fucking you through the orgasm until you were whining pathetically against his shoulder, begging him to slow down. He did no such thing until he had reached his own peak, spilling into you with a deep groan, only registering moments later that he probably shouldโve pulled out first.ย
It wasnโt like him to forget a condom, never having fucked a girl bareback before.ย
But you were something different. The moment youโd offered your affection to him his mind had gone haywire, completely forgetting important details like that in favour of having you completely to himself.ย
Heโd buy you the morning after pill as an apology.ย
Cradling you against him for a few moments, he wished you could stay like that for a while longer. Your weight atop his sweaty body felt lovely, and he desperately wanted to continue stroking your hair, losing himself in the intoxicating scent of you that seemed to drive him crazy.ย
But reality came knocking in the form of a fist against the door of the treatment room. โAll done? I do have a patient in ten minutes so I need to set up.โ Toji called out. You leapt from your position on top of Sukuna swiftly as if suddenly remembering yourself, glancing at the door nervously.ย
Sukuna wondered how much Toji had heard, wondering if the man was standing outside grinning like a Cheshire cat, ready to quiz Sukuna all about it the moment he exited.ย
It was likely, since Toji had always been a nosy bastard.ย
Too bad Sukuna wouldnโt be telling him anything about you. You were sacred to him, and it would stay that way - he wasnโt about to share anything with Toji.
โYeah, just a few minutes!โ You called back to Toji, your voice wavering a little. It was cute, how frazzled you seemed to be - he wanted to see more of that.ย
Letting out a heavy breath, you looked at Sukuna, who was slowly sitting up. His red eyes were darting about your face, trying to read your expression, hoping to god that this wasnโt some spur of the moment, one time thing. He wanted to take you home, wanted you in his arms.
If he had to go back to lying about aches and pains just to see you at a scheduled appointment, he was pretty sure heโd lose his mind.ย
โDo you wanna come to my place later?โ You spoke before he could, giving him an almost bashful smile.ย
โYeah. Yeah Iโd like that,โ he responded, shoulders relaxing.ย
He was pretty sure that your words alone had released a knot in his back.
That was just how good a masseuse you were.ย
a/n: need him so bad my GOD
ANYWAY hope you enjoyed this little one shot while I work on the next chapter of crazy in love! thanks for reading, reblogs and comments are appreciated as always <3
sukuna's convinced he'll never find a mate. he's tried it all, mate pairing programs, rehabilitation. no one wants him. who needs a bond anyway? he prefers the solitude. you're his last hope. an optimistic volunteer thrown at him by that pesky support program in hopes that he'll finally find a mate. will you be the one to show him that he doesn't really wanna be lonely? or will you throw him to the curb like everyone else? well, his rough exterior and unexpected rut truly puts you to the test.

"Maybe they were right about you. You are a lost cause."
So this rehabilitation agent had guts? Sukuna would give him that much.
The sun pierced his eyes and slitted his pupils as he stared at the man before him, unshaken. Bold, for someone with noting but a flimsy clipboard for a weapon if Sukuna let his temper get the better of him.
He never had an issue with it before. So where were his claws?
"That mean I can finally do my own damn thing now?" He gruffed, stuffing his hands into his pockets as he propped against his doorway. He ignored his tail that hung low.
The man furrowed his brows. Sucked in a breath. Looked like he was searching for patience in the late afternoon air. His hand with the clipboard dropped as he stood straight.
"You don't get it, do you Ryomen?"
"What's there to get? That I can't play housecat for your domesticity programs?"
"Behavioural programs."
"That've made shit progress."
"It's not as if you make it any easier."
"Your potential mates bore me."
"You scared them off. Every one of them."
The man didn't need to match Sukuna's tone to scathe him. His face never broke clinical aloofness, even with each word loaded. Baggage of the ugly truth: that Ryomen Sukuna was a lost cause.
Countless mates. Five? Six? He lost track. He pretended to forget their names but he remembered every one.
The first left quietly. Said he was too loud.
The second left loudly. Said he was too quiet.
The third claimed she was frightened. The fourth didn't even give him a reason. Fifth and sixth were some ugly variation of all of the above.
Sukuna stopped caring.
He did care, at one point. That's why he let his coworker convince him to join this stupid 'hybrid nature rehabilitation program' in the first place, right? Because maybe tigers were too bold. Too frightening. Too much.
Too much. That's what the last one said.
Well, if he was too much for anyone, maybe they weren't enough for him.
The agent sighed. Pinching the bridge of his nose and probably contemplating why he chose to work for a facility that boasted a 100% rehabilitation record. Guess Sukuna was about to ruin that too. As he did most things.
"Look," the man said. His shoulders slumped. "We do not typically give up on our patients, but surely you understand that we've tried everything in the book for you, right?"
Sukuna didn't reply.
"Behavioural therapy. Group counselling. Mate pairings and courses. You've chased away every volunteer and potential mate. Somehow even frightened off your therapist last month."
"She was weak."
"She was doing her job. You act like. . ."
Sukuna grunted. His claws threatening to lash out and tear up his own shirt. "What?" He knew the answer. Knew that sickening word that they all used for him. "An animal?"
The man didn't answer. Didn't have to. He sighed again and checked his clipboard. "This is your last shot for clearance."
"And if I don't pass?"
"You'll be escorted to a private facility."
Hybrids were monitored under lock and key by the state. Sukuna guessed he couldn't really blame them. They were different. Unpredictable.
Animals.
Sukuna regretted ever approaching the program in the first place. If he knew what he knew nowโ that he was simply built to be on his own, he would have swallowed the furball and bit his own tail. Lived out the rest of his life without the feeling of being watched.
Now, they knew he was unstable. Now, they considered him a threat. Guess his claws really were clipped.
"Thanks to your last stunt, none of the volunteers stepped up for this," the man said, flipping through his clipboard.
Sukuna huffed. "What's the point then? Just ship me off already." At least he'd get to be alone, then.
"Because miraculously, one of our assistants offered to help." The man looked up. "She's new. And your last shot." He handed over the clipboard with a small picture clipped at the top right.
That's the first time Sukuna saw you.
The second time he saw you, you smiled at him. Stupid move, really. For someone so small, so frailโ so breakable.
"It's nice to meet you," he's sure you lied as you stuck out your hand. Chirpier than a bird hybrid. Bright eyed as a squirrel. Were they sure that you were human?
"Yeah. Hi." He gruffed, not reaching for your hand. It looked too gentle for him.
You dropped your arm to your side, still smiling, but softer. Before you trotted off to lug the rest of your belongings into his home.
He helped you, of course. Tiny thing like you probably would sprain her spine if she did it all by herself. Pathetic.
This was his last hope? They might as well cage him and ship him off already.
Within a week, he was sharing his space again. The few days of blissful solitude had come to an end. Now, there was a canvas in his living room. Pink body wash and products littered across his bathroom counter. Books from authors he couldn't even pronounce occupying his empty shelves.
You were sweeter than the three spoons of sugar you dumped in your strawberry tea every morning. Softer than the dinner rolls you insisted on making every Wednesday and Friday. Shy. Gentle.
Too gentle for someone like him.
In the beginning, Sukuna had watched you. Like a tiger stalked its prey. Scouring for the first sign of discomfort. A hint of fear. Even those who started off strong couldn't keep up the act for long. Not with him.
Which was what made it so odd.
You were timid, sure. But not afraid of him. Guess he'd give it some time.
Because that's simply his fate now, right? Watch a new volunteer skip into his lair and run off with their tail between their legs once he got too much. No one stayed. Not like they did with everyone else.
Others made hybrid bonding look easy. They'd join circles and find mates in the same week. Same night, even. Claiming it all as 'the right timing'. The right person.
Sukuna was a wrong person. Therefore, no right person would fit. Like an unwanted puzzle piece.
Not that he cared. He didn't need to fit in with anyone. If he was too much for any twisted jigsaw of companionship then he'd simply be the missing piece. A corner piece no one looked for. The one that made no difference to the puzzle. The one that no one needed.
He preferred being alone, anyway.
If this last ditch effort blew up in smoke, he guessed he'd have his wish. Whatever facility they'd stuff him intoโ at least he would be alone. It was better that way.
By himself, he didn't have to soften his tongue. By himself, he didn't have to pretend that he did not have stripes, claws and canines. Didn't have to soften himself for someone who wouldn't soften for him.
Didn't have to watch anyone leave when he became too much.
You didn't leave.
A week went by. Then two. Three, before he knew it. You rooted yourself into his floorboards like a flourishing flower and offered him the same sunny smile every morning.
"How'd you sleep, Sukuna?" You'd ask, as if you cared.
"Fine." He'd grumble from the coffee machine. The bitter stain on his tongue refused to ever let him return the question.
Why should he bother with someone who was going to sign him off anyway? Might as well show her what she was getting herself into. His poor behaviour and slacking social skills, as his therapist put it.
You never flinched. Humans sure were resilient.
But he was hybrid. And everyone knew that tigers were ruthless.
He wouldn't shroud his nature to make himself more palatable for you. For anyone, ever again.
It's odd. You actually tried.
You adapted your body clock to him. Sukuna woke up drearily early. To catch the dawn on his ears during his morning run. He supposed you started waking up shortly after him. Giving you enough time to ready breakfast for him when he stepped back through the door.
Eggs. Bacon. Any raw protein you could think of. You were unfortunately, a good cook.
"This isn't necessary," he said from the counter, but still wolfed down your perfectly fluffy scrambled eggs.
"Waking up early has its perks." You mused, sipping your tea. Probably strawberry. Or rose. He hated that he now knew your favourites.
You made his bed whenever he wasn't looking. He scolded you for it, the first few times. You insisted it was fine. That you liked cleaning up.
You tried to watch movies with him. Plopped beside him on the sofa and struck him your signature smile.
"Wanna watch something?" You asked, soft. Already dangling the remote. Sukuna couldn't help but compare the size of your hand to his.
He scoffed. "What? Some romcom?"
"Or horror." You bashed.
His instincts told him that a gentle soul like you wouldn't last ten seconds with a horror movie. Still, he indulged you. The last thing he wanted was to endure some stupid hybrid hallmark film.
A slasher flick. He didn't pay attention to the name. All he knew was that you quivered halfway through it and that stirred an urge in his gut.
Urge to what? Now that, he once again had no answers to.
It was warm. Low. The same way he felt when kids dropped their ice creams and mothers tripped in grocery stores. He couldn't name it. But he did drape his arm over the back of the couch. Not grazing your shoulders but, there.
You'd probably have nightmares tonight. Silly girl. Now he would be obligated to return the favour.
Because you did, a few nights ago. When he tossed and turned. Creased his sheets and slashed his blankets. Sukuna wasn't one to dreamโ but he did have nightmares.
About the darkness. About the cold. About a void that for some, unfathomable reason, unsettled him.
"It's okay, shh." Your voice reached out to him through the shadow. Light against the darkness.
"It's okay. I'm here. Wake up, please."
You were luck he hadn't broken your arm.
His grip was too tight. Claws too wretched. Not lucid enough to realise that he snatched your wrist when he had woken up.
"Get out." His voice rumbled. Eyes bloodshot and pupils tight. Sweat burned his forehead.
It must have not sounded like a threat, or maybe it was your stupid human resilience. You leaned over him. One knee on his bed and your hand ghosting his shoulder.
"You're freezing," you whispered.
He jerked from you. Rolled over onto his side and refused to allow himself to be vulnerable under your gentle gaze.
"I'm fine." He said.
You insisted. Are you sure? โ Can I get you anything? โ All the things that people said to catch you off guard and then left anyway.
"I said I'm fine."
His voice boomed, final. It was the first time he'd seen you flinch. He did not bother calling out for you as you shuffled out of the room. Assumed your bags would be packed by the morning. Your pink body wash nowhere to be seen on his counters and your books vanished from his shelves.
You didn't leave. Here you were, a few days later, with shaky knees and a horror movie. But insisting that you were enjoying it for his sake.
You never turned tail. Never backed down. Maybe it was more than human resilience. Maybe it was stubbornness.
That's the only thing that made sense to him. Why else hadn't you disappeared regardless of how much steam he'd blown at you? Especially when he was too much.
"Let's get one thing straight."
You had said something stupid one day in the kitchen. Something about being there for him. Some empty promise he had heard mixed and minced several different ways until it lost all meaning.
As if his mood was not sour enough.
Your back pressed into the fridge. His strong forearm shoved above your head. Sukuna's hulking body shadowed yours. Perhaps this was it. Where you finally became apart of that void that haunted his dreams.
"You and I. Are not. Compatible." His ears pinned back to his head. Tail coiled tight. Like his jaw and teeth that clenched.
Still, you held his stare. Even when it burned.
"Not a thing. Not. Possible." He spat. "So stop acting like you aren't just gonna sign me off so I can be caged up."
"I'm notโ"
"I want you to."
He cut you off. Sharp as his heave as he craned closer. Close enough to smell your cherry shampooโ but not a hint of fear.
What was wrong with you?
"I want you to sign me off. So that we can stop pretending like any of this is gonna work and that I'm anything but better off alone."
The fridge rattled as he shoved himself off. He expected your knees to shake. Expected you to clamber out of the kitchen and stuff whatever you could into a suitcase for the night.
Instead, you watched him storm off. With those same, achingly gentle eyes.
Why were you so gentle?
Why did you stay?
Why did he find himself being gentler, too?
Of course, Sukuna didn't want to snap at you. You were simply the closest thing. The softest thing. His hands weren't built to cherish the tender.
Yet, tender were his hands, as they cooked for you. If you handled breakfast, it was only fair that dinner was his responsibility. Even if all he exchanged with you were grunts and gruffs, as long as you went to bed full, he was content.
Content? Odd. That wasn't a word in his vocabulary anymore.
His voice dangered tender's territory on nights you'd be out. Work, friends, whatever he never bothered listening to but for some reason found himself worrying over when the street lights switched on.
"Do you need a lift back?" He asked into the phone. Taking note to look uninterested, even if you couldn't see him.
"I should be fine, Sukuna." You chirped.
"You sure? It's almost midnight."
"I'm sure! What's the worst that could happen?"
To a sweet thing like you? A lot. More than he'd like to imagine.
Morals, he told himself. He pulled up in the middle of the morning to pick you up because of his pesky morals.
"Sorry you had to come all this way," you said as you shut the passenger door.
Sukuna considered your dress. Hated himself for it.
"What?" His tongue clicked. "Were you expecting to walk all the way back?"
"What's the worst that couldโ"
"A lot."
It wasn't like the other times. His voice raised, but didn't roar. His brows narrowed, but didn't glare.
The car ride was silent.
Your smile was sickening.
Cute.
He watched you closer. Not as a tiger stalked prey. Not anymore. He couldn't name this.
He refused to call it gentle.
Even when he carefully observed the way you fixed your hair every morning. How he noted which of your curves that the sun bounced odd of. The soft plush of your body and how your thighs moulded into the couch cushions, or rounded perfectly in your shorts.
Never had he been one to appreciate artโ though he stood in front of your canvases and stared at your paint patterns. Swirls of green and blotches of warmth. Illustrations of nature: jungles and wild flowers.
It called to something within him. He assumed his hybrid traits. A tiger yearned for jungle, that was his home.
Home.
Sukuna didn't have a home.
He had a house. He had you. Had pink body wash on his counters and books he'd learnt the names of on his shelves. Had a warm meal every morning and a warmer bed you still insisted on making.
He had movie nights. A running partner. Someone who finally rooted her heels to the floorboards and blossomed in his walls. Stubborn as she was shy.
But not a home.
It was only a matter of time. Until he said something that finally was the thing. Until he'd wake up to your paintings missing, and your shampoo gone. He'd come home to no protein, but a sheet of paper:
I've signed you off. Good riddance.
You told him that you wouldn't, after he insisted it that night in the kitchen.
You padded to doorway of his room, picking at your sleeves with a petal-soft voice.
"All we have to do is clear you for rehabilitation," you said.
Not once did your eyes meet his.
"Then what? I can finally be alone?" He asked, incredulous.
You nodded.
It's what he wanted. What he claimed to want. So why was your agreement a sharp pang between his ribs?
That was then. He assumed your plans hadn't changed much. A silent agreement that if he behaved, you'd leave him be by the end of it all.
That's why he was gentler, he told himself.
Just trying to ensure his goals, he insisted.
For now, he would take care of you as you did him. Whether conscious or not. If it meant that when it was through, he'd get what was best for him.
Solitude.
But if solitude was what he wanted, why did he hate seeing you in others' company?
It was late. Emergency work call. He missed his afternoon cat nap and only scuffed down half of his breakfast.
The sun peeped at him from its sprawl across the horizon. Glaring into the back of his head as he stalked home. Burning him hotter. Hot.
He felt so. Fucking. Hot.
It wasn't even summer yet. Spring had only perked its preppy head. The blossoms bloomed. Their nectar tickled his nose. Couples gifted their flowers.
Sukuna hated spring.
He hoped you hadn't cooked dinner yet. That was his job. His responsibility.
But no, you were outside. Prattling to a neighbour.
All smiles and soft. Cupping your hands in front of you as you listened to the man's stories. The irritable snow leopard that lived next door. With his baby blue eyes and boyish grin.
What were you even doing outside in the first place? Didn't he tell you it was dangerous once the street lights started switching on?
Sukuna did what he did best. He watched. Looming by the telephone wire. Feeling the sun stab into his head. His spine. Feeling the heat gurgle from his gut. Splutter up his lungs. Against the back of his teeth.
That spotted fucker touched your arm.
Sukuna scathed.
Blurred colours. A muffled yelp. His claw caught on your woolly sweater as he snatched your arm.
"Sukunaโ!"
Your gasp drowned in the rumble of his growl. Grated from the back of his throat. The leopard backed off. Your muscles tensed under his calloused fingers.
"Inside. Now."
He didn't wait for you to agree nor disagree. Dragging you inside and rattling the walls as the door clattered! shut.
"Suโ" he lodged your voice in your throat once more. Shoved your back into the nearest thingโ the same splintering door.
Was it hotter inside? Or was that the anger?
A sweat drop sweltered between his brows.
"What the hell were you doing?" As if he had any right to ask. You weren't his mate.
Mate? Of course you weren't his mate.
Then why did his teeth crave to sink into your flesh? Mark you?
His stare hazed. Blinking rapidly. Heaving. The heat blistered into his nerves. Clenched his muscles. Suffocating. It was suffocating.
"Why were you. With him. Whyโ" he zeroed in. Mistake. Big mistake.
Your scent.
You weren't his mate. Why the hell did you smell like it, then?
Did you always smell this good?
Your gaped at him. Hands stiff on your sides and pressed flat into the wood. Your neck craned to account for the height difference. Were you watching him this time? Was he too much?
His eyes squeezed shut.
"Sukuna," you spoke. His name didn't deserve that gentleness. It ached him deeper today.
"I think you're. . ."
Snapping open his stare, he sucked in breath. Considered your words. The phrase your lips wrapped around.
Rut.
Shit.
He shoved himself away from the door. Away from you. The fire crawled up his throat. Thunked his heart. Thrummed a deep, dark chord in his gut.
The sweat slipping down his spine in the middle of spring confirmed it. He was in rut. With a poor, persistent, pretty human in claw's reach.
"Heyโ hey it's okay," you attempted, stepping forward where he stumbled back.
"Don't."
He hissed.
You preserved.
Stubborn. Stubborn, sweet thing.
"Let me help." You offered.
"No."
He tried. Tried to stumble off. Lock himself in his room. He could hump the mattress for all he cared but he wasn't so much as touchingโ
You took him by the wrist. Might as well have taken his soul while you were at it.
Splintered his restraint.
The door rattled again. Creaked awfully with the weight of him. On you. The thickness of the air. The heat. Your wrists fit well in his big hands. Looked like they belonged there.
You looked like you belonged here. Pinned under him.
His chest heaved. Voice jagged, throaty.
"You don't know what you're getting into." He said.
You gulped. He paid too much attention to your throat. "I did when I signed up for this."
"Do you even know what a rut is?"
"I know you can't be alone right now."
Sukuna's breath hitched.
You relaxed your hips. Let them mould into his. Their plush softness drove him wild.
Lashes hung over deep maroons. The quiet thrummed with your heart beats. His, thundering and wanting. Yours, tender yet eager.
He craned closer. Tuffs of his pink hair tickled your forehead.
"I can do awful things to you." He whispered.
Still no flinches. You never did.
Your eyes batted at him.
"Is that so bad?"
"Yes."
"Show me."
Even the kiss, burned.
Your lips really were petal-soft. Softer than he had imagined. He hated himself for imagining this in the first place.
The knot in his gut wound tight. Urging him to flush you further into the wood. Flush further into you. Patience slipped into the simmer between your mouths. Sukuna kissed you with violence. Nothing contained. Nothing hidden.
He told you that he wouldn't placate himself for you.
Abandoning your wrists, his grip sought your plush. Squeezing your thighs between his fingers gaps. Lifting you into his arms so that your heels pressed into his back. So that he could consume you. Tongues tangling and teeth tackling.
Your hands smacked at his shoulder. Breaths huffed through your nose. A desperate sound that plunged him deeper into heat.
He let you breathe. Barely.
"I can be good for you." Was what you used the privilege to gasp.
His chest rumbled. "Yeah?"
The slope of your throat was so pretty when you gulped.
Sukuna slipped a hand to your cheek. Rough. He couldn't be gentle. Not with you. Not now.
"Gonna be good for me, pretty girl?"
Eyes blown out. Jaw tight. If you said anything other than your whined little yes as his hips ground into yours, he might have lost his mind entirely.
His mouth attacked yours again. Sucking on whatever was left of your lychee lipgloss. Surely bruising your lips in the process. He didn't care. Let him mark you. Everywhere. So that stupid snow leopards didn't get the wrong idea. So that everyone knew what you were.
His.
The home blurred into vertigo colours. The floors creaked under the weight of his footsteps. Sukuna hoisted you with him. Haphazardly avoiding furniture in the stagger to his bedroom. Hands palming at whatever part of your flesh he could reach.
He almost stumbled in the hallway. Caught you against the doorway, one of your hands gripped at it while the other clutched the back of his neck. Fisted his hair between your fingers.
"Sukuna, careful." You whined.
He didn't listen. Too busy humping on your thighs that squished perfectly between his hard body and the cold door. Nurturing his bulge. Tucking its hot curve into the smooth crux of your skin.
"Said you'd be good for me." His growl rumbled on your pulse. Teeth mapping out his new territory: your velvet flesh. "So shut up and take it. Like a good girl, yeah?"
The door swung open. You must have palmed the handle. Feet fumbled in a clumsy waltz. Hands clinging for dear life. He caught you. Kept you pressed against his blazing body as he mouthed down your throat. Latched onto a tender spot. Marked you.
Sukuna handled his ruts the way he handled everything else: alone. His hand, a pillow, and a grotesque amount of tissue boxes. When last had he felt the soft touch of a partner? Held their warmth beneath him while his mind drove him wild with fire?
He was always too much. Too much to handle. Too aggressive. Too big.
But you.
You seemed to want everything.
In the way your nails curled on his shirt. In the pitiful way your neck arched to give him more access. Offering yourself up to him. A pretty deer who craved a tiger's claws in her. His maw latched to your throat.
"You're so eager," he groaned.
You whimpered, "I'm yours."
Fuck.
The mattress sunk. Creaking in retort to the callousness of his shove. Your body moulded into his sheets. Into him, as he staggered over you. Knees digging into the bed. Teeth clamped on the base of your throat.
You jerked. A gasped cry vibrating against his teeth. Palms knocking into his shoulders. To push him off?
Noโ to grip. Cling. To him. To your mate.
After all, you were his now, weren't you?
Bites bloomed across your neck. Over your collarbone. Down your shoulders. Your clothes threading like ribbons under Sukuna's claws. The sound of fabric tearing accentuated the rough pants and pitched whines in the humid air.
He wanted to speak. Wanted to tell you what a good girl you were being for him. Wanted to grunt into your skin about how perfect you were. Tell you that you were everything he'd been waiting for.
The words lodged in his throat. Sticky on the back of his tongue that could only muster out wet pants and deep growls as he feasted on your flesh.
Every inch of your skin revealed to him was another blessing. Your curves. The dips. The soft slopes of your body. Salivated him all the more.
Your bra never stood a chance. Clawed away. Probably ruined at the wire. He didn't care. He'd buy you a new one. Buy you whatever you wanted if you were gonna carry his cubs.
Cubs.
The word slipped into his mind with ease, and ruined it.
Pupils blown out. Lungs clenching. He made the mistake of eyeing your tummy.
Perfect, round, soft. You'd be the perfect mate. The perfect mother for his young.
The thought spurred his hands rougher. Tearing away offensive fabrics until you were laid completely bare before him. With big, doe eyes batting up at him. So pretty. So his.
From the corner of his eye he spotted your hands slipping. To cover up. Cover what was his. Your wrists were snatched in his hard grip.
"Don't," he warned. Lips assaulting yours. Stealing your breath and tonguing on your whimpers.
"Don't hide what's mine."
Your tits were softer under his tastebuds. Delicate to the harsh swirls of his tongue. So small when compared to his mouth that sought to consume, to claim.
Sweet sounds sighed from your kiss-bitten lips. Your spine curved so that you pressed back into him. Squishing your plush breasts into his face. His groan rumbled into the flesh.
So tender it was maddening. So perfect it was addicting.
Kisses, sucks, bites. He littered your tits in more claims. Feasting on your silk flesh. Fantasising about the image of them larger. Fat and swollen with milkโ just as you were round with his cubs.
His cock strained thick in his pants. Flushed hot on your inner thigh. He ground into your warmth. Rutting wildly. Like the animal he always was.
Your hands delving into his hair almost broke him. Almost. He withdrew from your chest. Eyes glowing through the dark as he found your face.
"Taste so good. So sweet." A hand roughed down your side. Cupped your thigh and strung it round his waist.
"Up."
Raw strength scooped you into his palms. Flesh spilling between the gaps of his fingers as he squeezed for good measure.
Your little squeaks were so cute.
Teeth dragged on your flesh. Callous over bites sunk into your gentle flesh. He lapped on the indents of his own canines as he wrest you over him. Shoved your thighs higher. Urging you. Demanding.
"Face. Now. Fucking sit on my face."
Senseless. Each word was a growl. It's a miracle you understood him at all. Maybe you always would. That's how mates were, right?
The cotton of your panties dragged on his collarbone. Frantic eyes darted to your face as your hips locked. Unmoving.
Stubborn little human.
"What?" He husked. Scuffling to shove you over his awaiting face. "I said sit."
Your lips pressed together. Hands scrambling for the headboard. "Wait are youโ are you sure? I'mโ"
"โdriving me mad." He hissed through clenched teeth. The throbbing in his groin pulsed the sickening heat hotter. Seared into the back of his skull. To his hands that groped your ass. To his eyes that narrowed.
"Said I wanna taste you. So get. On."
Was that too much?
Was he too much for you?
No, course not. You wanted to be his good girl. He saw it in your doe eyes batting at him. In the quiver of your lip and the tremors of your thighs. You shuffled over him. Pressing the cusp of your panties against his chin.
"Like this?" You meeked.
"Like this."
Sukuna tugged you over him. Knocking your thighs. You stumbled. Caught yourself with shaky fingers in his hair and an adorable yelp.
The musked cotton scrunched into his nose, his mouth, the rest of his hard face. Stuffing his nostrils with the sweet, intoxicating aroma. His eyes threatened to roll back.
A muffled curse rumbled into your heat. First came his tongue. Abrasive like everything else about him. Lapping on your folds. Drenching the fabric. Trying to suck in your taste through it.
Then came his teeth. Impatient. Tearing into your panties. His head wrest, violent. Claws ripping away the cloth in a feral affair.
Your sweet heat was his reward. Slicking up his face with your clit pressed into his nose.
"Fuck," his groan thrummed. Straight into your velvet. Leaking your pussy into his agitated mouth. "Knew you'd taste s'fucking sweet."
Hands slipped up your thighs. Cupped your ass. Sukuna sought to press kisses to your quivering slitโ but you dangled above him. Not pressed, not sat. Hovered.
"Said. Fucking sit."
He hauled you into him. Cramped your thighs into his head. Smothered your pussy into his face. Even with his ears muffled by your plush, he heard your stunned gasp.
The weight was perfect on his head. Your hands were perfect in his hair. Pussy pretty, pulsing, perfect, on his tongue that stroked over your slit. Lathered you in saliva. All the way to your clit.
He darted the muscle. Circled on your bud. Trying to commit to a rhythm. A pattern. It scathed into the heat of his rut. The heat to take, to claim. To make you his. Finally.
Even if you hated him after this.
Even if you signed him off and he finally got what he wanted. Solitude.
Right now, all he wanted was your pussy.
Filthy squirts and sloshes squelched through the room. Brimming the hazed air together with your whines. Moans. Gasps of his name.
He always hated how gently you said it. Like it meant something. Like it ever could mean something. Hearing it broken sounded better. Shaky and whimpered as he fucked you on his tongue.
"S-Sukโ kuna, ah."
Sweet. So sweet. Sweeter than he ever deserved. But Sukuna was a greedy man. So he gripped on your thighs, bit his nails into your flesh, and feasted to his heart's content.
"There ya go. C'mon, pretty girl, ride my face."
Spank! went his hand. Clamouring your ass and fisting the jiggles. Pulling you down, harder, closerโ till he was suffocating. Suckling on your clit. Guiding your hips into a sinful sway.
Your hips fell into rhythm. Atta girl. Always so sweet for him. Always so obedient. Yeah, if you stayed, you'd make the perfect mate.
He hoped you stayed.
He could make you stay.
Keep you in his bed. Make a den for you. Hold you down and fuck you into his sheets day-in-and-day-out. Fill you up until your tummy grew even rounder. Softer. Until you were swollen. Until you were his.
No. Fuck. That's the rut talking.
The rut talking.
It's the rut that had him palming your ass and squeezing you into his face. The rut that had his mouth kissing, sucking, licking and laving through your creamy mess. The rut that had him fucking you on his tongue and bucking his hip into the air just as yours ground down into his face. Smearing mess all over him.
Yeah. That's the rut. But fuck, if he wasn't drunk on your pathetic moans. Your messy pussy.
Your clit spasmed under the flat of his harassing tongue. Your thighs clamped around his head. Fingers dug into his skull. Even your pain was sweet.
"Shitโ kuna." Your voice croaked. Called to him as a mate should. "I'm gonna, fuck. Think 'm gonna. . . gonnaโ"
His eyes fluttered. Throat rasped.
"Gonna cum? Yeah? Gonna cum, hah, all over my face?"
From between the small gap of your thigh, Sukuna witnessed your face. Eyes rolled back. Jaw slack. Tits bouncing as you rode his face as if he was yours.
He was.
In this moment. In these blurred lines of his rut. Where he pictured you as his mate. Entertained the thought of wanting. Of being wanted. Of not being alone.
He was yours. Even if for a moment.
You sung his name through the haze. Tender even when he ripped you apart at the seams. Delicate even in his claws that threatened to tear into you. Mark you with scars and blood.
Your hips clumsily rocked. Onceโtwiceโlocked up in feverish tremors. Your hands bunching his hair. Clinging. Your body hunched over his. Shattering.
Sukuna rode you through an orgasm with his lips latched around your clit. Sucking harsh on its throbs. Teething on its twitches.
You splattered his face in warmth. Sweet, sickening warmth that doused him deeper into his rut's clutches.
"That's it. There you go. Fuck. Prettiest fucking pussy," he slurred into your wetness. Tongue delving between your puffy folds. Lapping up your cum. Greedy.
You toppled over him. Breaths ragged. One hand clutched in his hair and the other on the headboard.
"Wannaโ wanna help. Wanna." To his surprise you pulled on his hair. Interrupting his creamy kisses on your slit.
Stares met. His hot. Yours warm. Wanting.
"Wanna make you feel good too."
How pretty you were when you quivered. Lips glossed by drool and lashes soaked with tears. It ached a deep chamber in his heart.
"Wanna be good for me?" He panted.
Your nod was doeish. As everything else about you was. His delicate girl. So fragile in his hands.
He couldn't wait to break you.
The bed creaked again. You squeaked as he hauled you down into the wrinkled sheets. On your back with his hulking weight pressing down on you. His mouth fixed to yours. Magnetic. Addicted. Letting you taste yourself on his tongue.
"That mean you gonna let me breed you too, baby?" Catching your lip between his teeth, he grunted. Pressing the swell of his cock between your legs. Staining his crotch in your slick. "Gonna let me breed this sweet pussy?"
Your response was sweet, shy, but oh so eager. A tepid nod, as your fingers slipped to his shoulders. So small. Smaller than him in every way. He took the moment to appreciate it.
You, spread and waiting for him. Your pussy, swollen and twitching. His bulge pressed on your glistening folds dwarfed you entirely.
Oh, how you'd squirm on his cock.
At last he shrugged his shirt off. Shivered when your touch feathered over his chest. He made the mistake of watching your eyes. How they mapped out scars that your fingers traced.
You didn't have to say anything. Your gaze spelt affection he wasn't ready to receive.
"Don't stare at me like that." He gruffed, kicking off his pants.
"Why not?" You asked.
"Makes me think you want me."
"I do want you, kuna."
Damn you.
Damn you and your tenderness. Damn you and that sweet nickname your sugar lips latched onto. Damn you and the way you made his cock throb hard in the strained fabric of his boxers.
He palmed your throat. Focused on your pulse. The control he held over you in the moment.
"Shut up." His hiss muffled with a kiss. Hot and open-mouthed on yours. As if he could suck the words from your tongue and swallow them into his gut that knew better.
Knew that he was better off alone. That this was only for the sake of his rut.
Bulging and angry, his tip nudged between your thighs. Soaking up your arousal. The slippery sensation of your pussy sent shivers down his spine. So wet. For him. Only him.
He let you pull away. Watching as your gaze lowered to his thick cock sandwiched between your folds. Sliding against your slit and dragging on your clit. Your wide eyes eased a chuckle from him.
"What?" He drawled. "Too big?"
"Well. . . yes."
"And every inch's gonna fucking breed you."
He pinned you back into the mattress. Flat on your back with your knees scooped into his big hands. Dwarfed you there too. He pressed them back into you so that they kissed your tits. Folding you in half and completely exposing you entirely to his hungry eyes.
Salivating. He was salivating. Your eyes were too kind for how lewd your pussy spread out for him. Leaking a string of mess. Calling for him. Wanting him.
"Keep your eyes on me, you got that?" Maroon burned into yours. Searching for hesitance. For fear. For something that could cut into this feverish rut and remind him that he didn't deserve you. But no.
You obeyed him.
You wanted him.
His cockhead slotted against your slit. Dipping in to feel the silky sin of your pussy. A deep groan rumbled from the depths of his chest. His brows furrowed. Fuck. When last had he had this?
Blunt nails dug into the backs of your thighs as he sunk in. One inch. Two inch. Three inch. Fourโ popping through the first tight ring of resistance. Eyes devouring yours the entire time.
He watched your face. How it scrunched up and your mouth parted. How tears clouded your eyes as he pushed past the halfway point.
He stopped.
"You good?" He huffed. Barely gentle.
Very. Gentle.
"Yeah it'sโ just. . . just a lot." You croaked.
"Too much?"
His face didn't falter, but his heart sure did. His grip loosening on your limbs. Ready to let you go. Free you from him.
But you shook your head. Teary eyed. Twitching smile.
"Not enough."
Hips possessed. Mind a mess. He slammed forward at those two, pretty little words. Till his tip smooched your cervix and his balls squished into your folds. Bottomed out. Filling you to the brim.
The sound you made was sin itself. A blessing. Heaven, hell, and everything in between.
"Oh fuck." You cried, head tossed back. Unable to see him gasping out the same exclaim.
Your syrupy cunt hugged around him. Tight, snug. Nursing on an underside vein and milking him around the tip. Every pulse was your heartbeat, and it devastated him.
Cussing, he pushed down onto you. His heart tugging itself towards yours. To press into your skin as his hips started rutting. Slow, eager.
"Fuck. Look at you take this cock. Like you were born for it," his words husked above you.
Your lashes fluttered. Brows knitting at the centre. He watched your tears threaten to slip as he humped on the sensitive ring that was your cervix.
His tongue clicked. Swapping out a hand on your thigh, he snatched you beneath the jaw instead. Wrenching your face to his hot one.
"Didn't I say keep your eyes on me?"
"M sorry."
"Don't apologise, just take it."
He withdrew. Halfway at firstโ then shoved back in. The second time was further. And further. Until his thrusts pulled to the tip and plunged back to your womb. Languid, but hard. Sure to make you feel every inch of him pressing into your pussy nerves.
You soaked up his thighs. Splashing his balls and leaking a puddle into the sheets already. The scent was intoxicating. Flared his nostrils and dizzied his head.
The mattress shook beneath the power of his thrusts. Your body bounced with it. He made sure to coil his tail tight around your waist. Held you down like a predator did prey as he fucked you open on his cock.
Pleasure built a knot in his gut. Hot, heavy. Urging his hips to snap harder and chase bruises on your jiggling ass.
Every sound was sin. Sweet. Cries, moans, a whimper than surged into a whine of his name when he removed his other hand from your thigh to instead hold them back with a steeled forearm. So that his palm could press on the bulge swelling up the base of your tummy.
"Fuuckkk," he growled. Ears pinned back to his hair. Jaw hung and canines glinting. "Look at that. See that, pretty girl? What's here?"
You hiccuped, "yourโ ah. Your cock!"
"Yeah? What's it doing?"
"It'sโ"
You couldn't answer. Slurred by moans and the delicious drive of his dick stretching you out. He watched your eyes go static.
Spank! his palm landed hot on your clit. Bulging your eyes and jerking your hips up into his frantic thrusts. He laid another. Two. Threeโ encouraging your pitiful whimpers.
"Asked you a fucking question. What's it doing?"
"It'sโ hah. B. . . Breeedโ"
"Breeding you? Yeah?"
"Uhuh! Breeding. Breeding me s-so . . . s'goood."
Drool bubbled on your lips. Your hands that had tried to scramble on his shoulders and dig your mark into his flesh now fell flat on the pillow. Beside your head. Limp like the rest of your body that surrendered itself to him.
Heat surged down his spine as you clamped around him. Sucking the air from his scathing lungs. Staining his base in a thick, filthy ring of cream.
His hips rammed all the more faster. Harder. Imprinting you into his bed. Your slick. Your sweat. Your scent.
One of your weak hands slipped down. Meeking over to his larger one fixed on your stomach. Wrapping around two of his massive fingers. Or at least trying to.
It strung a deep chord in him. Thin and vulnerable. One he has thought he cut out long ago.
His half slipped over yours. Fingers laced. Pressing you against the bulge he plunged into your tummy. Holding your hand. Holding it tight.
"Sweet pussy's milking me," his grunt fanned your pulse as he swooped down. Mouthing on your neck. Searching for your pulse to feel it race beneath his lips. "Fuck. Wants my cum so bad. Wants my cubs."
"Please!" You slurred.
He swore he could do this for life.
Shoving all the way, Sukuna paused on your cervix. Sweat dripping from his hair. Cock drumming heavy. He clamped you down through your protesting whines.
"Yeah, yeah, shut it." It didn't sound harsh. Especially not with his firm squeeze on your hand.
Slipping out just enough, he watched your juices spray all over him. Mesmerising him. He worked on autopilot. Bundling you into his arms and manhandling you into a different position.
Tossing you to your side, Sukuna slotted behind you. Hips spooning your ass. One strong arm hooked around your neck, choking you on his bicep. While the other strung around your thigh. Wrenching you open for him and his massive cock, that bullied back into your cunt. Squelching your cum and sick in messy streams.
Your angelic cries resonated into his bicep. Making him squeeze it harder against your throat. Headlocking you into his greedy mouth that sucked hickies across your neck.
The angle was deeper. Filthier. Letting him feel so much more of you.
How much smaller you were than him. How you squeezed him just right. How perfect you were in his arms.
Like you belonged.
Shit. Don't go there.
Sukuna tried to drown it out. The returning thought of you. A permanent fixture in his life. Your pink body wash on his counter, that was now his. Your books on his shelves that he could read to you. You, in his living room, painting.
Painting the jungle. Painting home. Being his home.
His cock pulsed hard at the base and sweltered at the tip. The knot in his stomach wound tight. But that thoughtโ that thought gutted him.
That you were here. That you had been here. Warm, and sweet, and soft and for the last few weeks. His.
You could be his.
"No," he wanted it to sound like a grunt. But he whimpered. Panting, heaving, mind dizzy and thrusts franticโ
Sukuna was whimpering.
Your face was pressed into his bicep. Head limp and hand still trying to hold his that clutched your thigh. Still calling his name so sweetly.
"N-No?" You breathed.
Still attuned to him even when he was fucking your brains out.
"Don't want you to leave."
Oh.
Oh.
He hadn't realised that it slipped from his lips. Hadn't realised that through his brutal thrustsโ he was breaking. Lost in the burning bliss, the heat, and the warmth of what could be.
Sukuna lost his fucking mind.
"Don't wannaโ fuck. Don't wanna be alone." His face fell into your neck. Arms squeezing your body into his. Trying to melt your skin into his. Tuck himself into your warm flesh and the selfish wish you gave him.
Hazed, and hot, and so heavenly yours.
Slick hair pressed into your cheek. His body collapsed onto yours. Pounding his cock up into your creamy cunt. Chasing his blazing nerves as his mouth rambled.
"Don't want you to leave. Don't. Shit. Don't leave me, please, please don't fucking leave me."
His thrusts lost rhythm. As frantic as his rushed whispers. Plunging into your cervix. Bruising your thighs. Clutching you closer. As close as he could muster. As close as it would take to keep you here forever.
"Say you won'tโ say you," he slurred. Eyes squeezed shut. Words melting into a clumsy splutter of curses. "Say. Say you won't. Sayโ"
"Won't. Won't. 'kuna I won'tโ hngahh. Promise!"
That single word. So raw. So true. Choked in a gasp as you tried to nudge your face closer to him.
It shattered whatever pride he had left.
"You promise?"
He croaked. Dangerously hopeful.
You nodded. Cried.
"Promise. I promise S'kuna. Breed meโ please."
He should have known you'd be trouble from the moment you first smiled at him.
Heat trapped him. Seeped into every nerve and spasming muscle. Ears drooped. Tail clinging around your waist, as his arms did every inch of you.
He held your hand.
The ache in his hips nulled to the sound of your sweet voice. Tucking promises away in his heart and sealing them with attempted kisses, even when he was choking you.
He felt your orgasm shake through you. Your body locking up as you babbled his name into the humidity. And with that Sukuna finallyโ finally let go.
Ramming his cock up one, final time. He stilled. Deep and thrumming within you. Heat bursting from his gut and washing over him in a devastating wave of blissful carnage.
Loud and wrecked, his moan vibrated into your back. Hips rocking in small stutters as spluttering, white ropes creamed your cervix. Pouring his thick cum into every inch of your twitching cunt. Brimming you with him and his promise.
"Fucking. . . fuck. . . hah. Take it. Take all this cum in your pretty pussy." Slurs dragged up your throat, to your ear as you face limped into his arm. His voice husked, a vow.
"Just feel me breeding you full. Filling you with my cubs."
You whined, meekly rocking back into him. But he snatched your hips and pressed it down into the mattress with a soft hush.
The throbbing at his base thrummed into swelling. His knot bloomed until it lodged stiff in your cunt. Pulsing with your pathetic little twitches.
He watched your eyes widen and brows furrow. Your body locked up and a whimper strained from your swollen lips. "Mmm. That's yourโ"
"Mhhm. Just stay still."
Laving his tongue over one of the bites, Sukuna held you near. Savouring your warmth.
The silence finally didn't feel like a void. Even if it was heavy.
He held onto the moment. Clung to its peace as the warmth simmered into cooling sweat on your flesh.
You broke the quiet first.
"Did you mean that?"
He didn't answer you. But his hand cupped your tummy. Fingers still laced in yours as his face tucked against the back of your shoulder.
". . . Was it too much?"
He never thought his voice could ache.
You tried to shift again, and despite the lump in his throat, he clicked his tongue. Squeezed your thigh in warning. "I said stay still, didn't I?"
"You're never too much. Not for me, Sukuna."
There you went, saying his name like it meant something.
Nudging your face to his, Sukuna licked at the tears on your face. A tender act he never thought himself capable of. "Don't say shit like that."
"That I want you? Or that I love you?"
His breath hitched.
Once the knot settled, he pulled out. Hesitantlyโ especially with your heat still clinging to him.
"You love me?" He muttered, laying a kiss on your cheek. Then to your jaw. To your shoulder. Down your body until you were on your back.
Calloused thumbs swept your folds back. Eyeing the lewd streak of cum leaking out of you.
His eyes found yours as you spoke, tender.
"Do you want me to say it again?" One of your hands raked into his hair.
His face nudged between your thighs. His hummed approval followed the flat of his tongue. Laving up your slit. Licking away the mess and holding your thighs open amidst their intense shivers.
Even as you whined. With your eyes on the brink of tears. They were still soft for him.
"I love you."
You shouldn't.
He shouldn't.
But he still said it back.
"My mate."
Low, and grumbled, not those three words but something that spelt a deeper bond. One he finally had.
After licking you clean, Sukuna bundled you up into the sheets. Pushing himself from the bed and returning with a warm towel and a water bottle.
He cradled the back of your head as he gave you the water.
Worshipped your flesh as he wiped you down. Tracing over bruises and bites. His mark.
And when you were finally tucked into his arms. Dozing off with your head nestled on his heart that now beat for you. His tail curled around your leg and his claws soft on your curves. Sukuna understood.
That his too much was just enough for you.

๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต โฐ you spend three years convinced your academic rival sukuna hates you back, only to find out heโs been hopelessly in love with you the entire time.
โฟ โโ) ryomen sukuna ๐ gn!reader
๐ฌ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ fluff, college!au, secretly soft!sukuna, academic rivals to lovers, forced proximity (paired final project), sukuna wears glasses, miscommunication is the villain, competition as flirting, first kiss, oblivious idiots in love.
the thing about hating ryomen sukuna was that it had never been a conscious decision.
you couldn't point to a specific day, a singular moment where you looked at him and thought, yes, this is it. this is the person i will dedicate a concerning amount of my emotional energy to despising. it just happened, the way moss creeps over stones or rust eats into metal โ it happened slowly, quietly, and then all at once.
maybe it was because you were always neck-and-neck for the top of every class, your names sitting side by side on ranked assignment lists like they were married to each other against both of your wills. maybe it was because sukuna had this infuriating habit of leaning against your shared locker bank every morning, arms crossed, watching you approach with that half-lidded expression that managed to convey how utterly beneath him he found you without him having to say a single word. maybe it was because sukuna never let you win at anything โ not group projects, not debate club, not even the stupid karaoke contest at utahime's birthday party last semester where he absolutely butchered a journey song and still somehow got a higher score than you.
whatever it was, the hatred was there. it lived in your chest like a second heartbeat, hot and familiar, something you could always count on when everything else felt uncertain.
you hated ryomen sukuna.
and you were pretty sure he hated you too.
this was simply the natural order of things, as stable and predictable as gravity โ you walked into a room, sukuna was there, the air got thicker, you glared at each other, and the universe continued spinning.
it had been like this since freshman orientation when you accidentally took the last chocolate chip muffin from the dining hall cart and sukuna had been reaching for it at the exact same time; your fingers had brushed, and sukuna had looked at you like you'd personally insulted every single of his ancestors, and then he'd muttered something under his breath about how he 'should have known'.
from that day forward, you were locked in.
so when your professor announced the paired final project for advanced literary theory โ a fifteen-page analysis of narrative unreliability that would make up forty percent of your grade โ and then proceeded to assign partners alphabetically, you felt the universe's cosmic joke land squarely on your shoulders.
"aizawa is with burnham, carlson is with davis... nakamura is with park, and (l/n) is with sukuna."
the room didn't go silent, but you wouldn't have heard it if it had. all you could hear was the rushing of blood in your ears as you turned your head, slow and dreadful, like a defendant watching the jury file back in.
sukuna was already looking at you.
he sat two rows over, sprawled in his chair like he'd been poured into it, all sharp angles and lazy menace. his pink hair fell across his forehead in that careless way that made you want to push it out of his face just so you could see him scowl more clearly. his jaw was set, his mouth a flat line, and his eyes โ those stupid, arresting eyes that shifted color depending on the light, red one moment and almost brown the next โ were fixed on you with an expression you couldn't quite read.
you glared at him.
sukuna raised one eyebrow, slow and deliberate, like he had all the time in the world to be annoyed with you.
"great," you muttered, slumping in your seat. "just great."
the thing you didn't know โ the thing you couldn't know, because nobody tells you these things, because love doesn't announce itself with trumpets and flashing signs โ was that ryomen sukuna had been in love with you for three years, two months, and approximately eleven days.
it had started with the muffin.
not because of the muffin, exactly, but because of the way you'd looked at him when your fingers touched. everyone else in the dining hall flinched away from sukuna โ he knew how he came across, all sharp edges and sharper tongue, the kind of person who looked like they'd bite if you got too close. but you hadn't flinched. you'd looked at him, and there had been something in your expression that wasn't fear or deference or any of the other things he was used to seeing.
you'd simply looked at him likeโฆ he was just some guy who wanted a muffin.
and then you'd taken it anyway, which was either deeply stupid or deeply brave, and sukuna hadn't been able to decide which, but he'd known, suddenly and completely, that he needed to figure it out.
so he'd started showing up at your locker, not because he wanted to intimidate you but because sukuna wanted to see if you'd look at him like that again. he'd started competing with you for grades not because he wanted to beat you but because sukuna wanted you to notice how hard he was willing to try, how he sharpened himself against you like a blade against a whetstone. he'd challenged you to the karaoke contest because you'd laughed at something utahime said โ a real laugh, the kind that crinkled your nose โ and sukuna had wanted to be the reason you made that sound, even if it was because he was singing badly on purpose.
none of it had worked the way he wanted.
somewhere along the way, the wires had gotten crossed so completely that sukuna didn't even know how the hell to untangle them anymore; his attention had curdled into something you perceived as hostility. his proximity had become a threat instead of a hope.
and ryomen sukuna, who had never been good at explaining himself, who had spent his whole life building walls instead of bridges, had no idea how to tell you that every time you glared at him, he felt like he was swallowing glass.
so he didn't tell you.
sukuna just kept showing up, he just kept competing, he just kept finding reasons to be near you, and let you believe whatever you wanted to believe.
it was easier that way. really, it was easier than admitting that he thought about you constantly, that he had a folder on his phone full of screenshots of your discussion board posts because he liked the way you structured arguments, that he'd memorized your coffee order from watching you get it so many times (oat milk latte, extra shot, cinnamon on top, which was objectively an incorrect way to drink coffee but he loved that about you anyway).
it was easier than saying; i don't hate you. i never have. i think i would burn the world down if you asked me to, and that terrifies me more than anything else ever has.
so when professor okamoto announced your pairing, sukuna's heart did something violent in his chest, and he had to physically stop himself from smiling. he raised one eyebrow instead, giving you his most unreadable look, and watched your face crumple with displeasure.
god, you were beautiful when you were annoyed.
yeahโฆ sukuna was so, so fucked.
you agreed to meet in the library on tuesday afternoon, mostly because you wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible. the sooner you started, the sooner you'd be done, and the sooner you could go back to pretending ryomen sukuna didn't exist at all.
he was already there when you arrived.
this was infuriating because you were fifteen minutes early, specifically to avoid this exact scenario โ walking in to find him already settled, already comfortable, already looking like he belonged in a way that made you feel like an intruder in your own study space.
sukuna had claimed the corner table by the window, the good one with the natural light and the extra outlets, and he was bent over a laptop with his reading glasses on.
you stopped dead.
sukuna wore glasses.
you had never seen this before, you had no idea sukuna even needed them, and the sight of them โ wire frames, simple and unexpectedly kind against the boyโs sharp face โ made something in your chest do a strange little flip.
he looked way softer like this, less intimidating, and you hated that you noticed. you hated that you noticed that the sleeves of sukunaโs sweater were pushed up to his elbows, exposing the lean lines of his forearms. you hated that you noticed the way his hair fell when he was concentrating, how he kept pushing it back with an absent hand.
you hated that you noticed anything about him at all.
"you're staring," sukuna said without looking up.
you bristled.
"i'm not staring. i'm assessing the enemy's territory."
now sukuna looked up, and the glasses made him seem almost approachable for half a second before his expression settled into its usual mask of mild disdain.
"the library is not enemy territory. it's simply a library. with books. which we both really need for this project we're both required to complete."
"don't sound so excited about it."
"i'm not excited about anything involving you."
that stung more than you wanted it to.
you told yourself it was because you were proud, because you hated being dismissed, because sukuna's opinion shouldn't matter to you but it did, it always had, in the same way a splinter mattered โ small and sharp and impossible to ignore.
you dropped your bag on the table with more force than necessary and sat down across from him, pulling out your laptop and notebook and pens with aggressive efficiency.
"let's just get this over with."
"eager to escape my company?"
"desperately."
something flickered across his face, there and gone so fast you couldn't name it. he looked back at his screen.
"okamoto wants us to focus on unreliable narration in gothic literature. i've pulled some secondary sources. there's a reading list in the shared document i started."
"you started a shared document already?"
"i'm not an idiot."
"i never said you were."
"you were thinking it."
you opened your mouth to argue, then closed it because he wasn't wrong, and also because there was something in his tone that didn't sound like his usual condescension. it sounded almost... tired. like he was exhausted by this dance you two did, even though he was the one who kept leading.
the silence stretched between you, strange and unfamiliar.
you'd never spent this much time alone with sukuna before; your interactions were always in crowded hallways or full classrooms, always brief and barbed, always with an audience. now it was just the two of you and the soft sounds of the library โ pages turning, keyboards clicking, someone's phone buzzing somewhere in the stacks.
you could smell his cologne; something woodsy and warm, nothing like the sharp, cold scent you'd imagined he'd wear. it made him seem closer than he actually was.
"so," you said, because you had to say something, "gothic literature. fun."
sukuna looked at you over the top of his glasses.
"is that a genuine statement or are you being sarcastic?"
"do i ever not sound sarcastic?"
"no," sukuna said, and then, quieter, "i know."
you didn't know what that meant, and you didn't ask.
the first week of working together was exactly as miserable as you'd expected.
you disagreed about everything โ thesis statements, source selection, whether or not to use first-person in the analysis, the correct way to cite a multi-volume work.
sukuna was methodical to the point of obsession, wanting to outline every paragraph before writing a single word, while you preferred to write freely and shape the chaos into something structured later. he thought your approach was inefficient. you thought his approach was suffocating.
"you can't just write without knowing where you're going," he said on thursday, staring at your laptop screen like it had personally offended him. "that's how you end up with a directionless argument."
"it's not directionless, it's exploratory. there's a difference."
"there isn't."
"there is if you have any imagination at all."
sukunaโs jaw tightened. "i have imagination."
"huh. could've fooled me."
the words came out sharper than you intended, and you saw something shutter behind sukunaโs eyes. he looked away first, which he never did, and when he spoke again his voice was carefully, deliberately flat.
"just write the outline. we can argue about methodology later."
you wanted to push. you wanted to know why he looked like you'd actually hurt his feelings, which was ridiculous because ryomen sukuna didn't have feelings, not ones that could be hurt by the likes of you. but something about the set of his shoulders stopped you, something about the way he'd gone very still, like he was bracing for impact.
so you wrote the outline.
and sukuna was right, which made it worse.
by the end of the second week, something had shifted.
you couldn't point to exactly when the hell it happened, but somewhere between arguing about the reliability of jane eyre's narration and debating whether rochester was a gothic hero or just a guy with too many secrets, the edges of your interactions had started to soften.
you still bickered constantly, but it felt less like warfare and more like... a game. a familiar rhythm you'd both fallen into without meaning to.
sukuna started bringing you coffee.
not every day, and not in an obvious way either; he'd just show up to your library sessions with two cups from the campus cafe, one black for himself and one that smelled like cinnamon and oat milk, and he'd set yours on your side of the table without a single comment.
the first time it happened, you stared at the cup like it might explode at any moment;
"what is this?"
"coffee. it's a beverage. people drink it to stay awake when they're doing academic work."
"i know what coffee is. i meantโwhy did you get me one?"
sukuna shrugged, not meeting your eyes. "you always look like you haven't slept. figured you needed it."
it was such a strangely considerate thing to say, so unlike the person you thought you knew, that you didn't know how to respond. you just wrapped your hands around the cup and let the warmth seep into your palms, watching sukuna over the rim as he settled into his chair and opened his laptop like nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
the coffee was perfect, exactly how you liked it.
you didn't think about what that meant.
you definitely didn't think about how sukuna would have had to pay attention to know your order, how sukuna would have had to remember, how sukuna would have had to deliberately choose to get it for you even though you'd never asked and never thanked him properly.
you just drank the coffee and tried to ignore the way your heart was beating.
on the third week, you caught sukuna staring at you.
not the usual staring โ the kind where he was waiting for you to finish a thought or watching your face for a reaction during an argument. this was different; this was soft, this was the way people looked at things they wanted to keep.
you'd been reading a passage from wuthering heights aloud, doing the voices for the different characters because you were a huge nerd and because it made sukuna's lip twitch in a way that was almost โ almost โ a smile. you were in the middle of heathcliff's "i cannot live without my soul" speech, and you'd gotten dramatic with it, leaning forward with your hand pressed to your chest, and when you looked up to gauge his reaction, sukuna was just... looking at you.
not at the book, not at the table, but at you.
sukunaโs expression was naked in a way you'd never seen before. all the usual armor was completely gone โ the sneer, the boredom, the casual cruelty he wielded like a shield.
instead he looked almost... awed. like you'd done something miraculous just by existing in his general vicinity.
your voice caught in your throat.
"sukuna?"
he blinked, and the mask slammed back into place so fast you almost believed you'd imagined the moment before.
"what?"
"you were staring."
"no, i was just listening."
"you lookedโ"
you stopped, not sure what you'd been about to say. you looked like you loved me, maybe, but that couldn't be right because ryomen sukuna didn't love anything, certainly not you, certainly not like that.
"you looked weird."
"i always look weird."
"you don't," you said, before you could stop yourself. "you look, you know, normal? i mean, not weird. usually."
sukuna's eyebrows went up.
for a long moment, neither of you spoke. the library's heating system kicked on with a low rumble, and somewhere across the room, someone laughed quietly, and you were acutely aware of every single inch of space between you, of how easy it would be to reach across the table and touch sukunaโs hand, of how badly you wanted to.
you didn't. of course you didn't. but you wanted to, and that was new, and that was terrifying.
"finish the passage," sukuna said finally, his voice rougher than usual. "you were at 'i cannot live without my soul'."
you looked down at the book, at heathcliff's desperate words, and felt heat rise to your cheeks.
"right. yeah. okay."
you finished the passage, but you couldn't look at sukuna while you did it.
the confession happened on a thursday, and it happened because of a paper cut.
you were both hunched over a stack of printouts, cross-referencing quotes, and you were tired โ the kind of bone-deep exhaustion that came from too many late nights and too much caffeine and the slow, creeping realization that you didn't actually hate the person sitting across from you, that maybe you'd never hated him at all, that maybe you'd been wrong about everything for three entire years.
you reached for a page at the same time sukuna did, your fingers brushing against his, and you both froze.
his hands were warm.
you'd expected them to be cold, because everything about sukuna seemed cold, but no, they weren't. his hands were warm and broad and surprisingly gentle when he pulled back like you'd burned him.
"sorry," you said, and meant it.
"don't be sorry for touching me," sukuna said, and his voice was strange, tight, like the words were being pulled from somewhere deep. "i don'tโi don't mind."
you looked at him.
really looked, the way you hadn't let yourself look in years; his hair was messy from running his hands through it, his glasses were slightly crooked, and there was a tension in his jaw that you'd always read as anger but now seemed like something else entirely. something held back, something waiting.
"you always mind," you said quietly. "you always mind when i'm near you."
sukuna's breath caught, and you saw it, the way his chest stopped moving for just a second, the way his fingers curled into fists on the table.
"is that what you think?" he asked. "that i mind?"
"you act like you do. you've always acted likeโ"
"i know how i act." sukuna cut you off, and there was something raw in his voice now, something that made your stomach drop. "i know exactly how i act. do you think i don't know? do you think i haven't noticed that you flinch every time i walk into a room, that you tense up when i stand too close, that you look at me like i'm something you stepped in?"
you opened your mouth, but nothing came out.
"i know," he continued, and now he wasn't looking at you anymore, he was looking at the table, at his hands, at anything but your face. "i know you hate me. i've known for years. and i don'tโi don't blame you. i'm not good at this. i'm not good at people. i don't know how to be anything other than what i am, and what i am is someone who makes you uncomfortable, apparently, which was neverโ"
his voice actually cracked, and you felt something splinter inside your chest.
"that was never what i wanted."
"sukunaโ"
"just let me finish."
sukuna pressed the heels of his hands against his eyes, and when he spoke again, his voice was muffled.
"i need to say this. i've been trying to say this for three whole years, and i just keep messing it up, and i don't care if you hate me after, i just really need you to know so i can stopโso i can stop pretendingโ"
he dropped his hands and looked at you, and his eyes were red-rimmed and bright, and all the air left your lungs.
"i don't hate you," sukuna said. "i have never hated you. not once. not even when you took the last muffin at orientation, which was a crime against humanity and i'm still not over it. not when you argued with me about romantic poetry in sophomore lit. not when you told professor tanaka that my interpretation of frankenstein was 'reductive and borderline misogynistic', which, for the record, it wasn't. i don't hate you. i've never hated you. iโ"
sukuna stopped, swallowed, and looked at you like you were the scariest thing he'd ever seen.
"i love you," he said, and the words came out small, almost bewildered, like he was discovering the truth of them in real time. "i love you so much it's embarrassing. i love your laugh and the way you argue and how you do the voices when you read out loud even though you think nobody notices. i love that you're competitive and stubborn and terrible at asking for help and you always push your hair behind your ear when you're thinking. i love that you took that muffin even though you knew i wanted it because you don't back down from anything, including me, especially me, and iโ"
his voice broke again, and he laughed, a short, helpless sound.
"i've been in love with you since freshman orientation. i've been in love with you for three years, and i've been so busy trying to get your attention that i didn't notice i was just making you hate me. and that'sโthat's on me. that's entirely on me. but i needed you to know. before we finish this project and you never have to talk to me again. i needed you to know that none of it was hate. not on my side. it was never hate."
the library was silent.
you could hear your own heartbeat, loud and unsteady, you could feel the blood rushing to your face, your hands, every part of you that had suddenly come alive.
sukuna was looking at you like a man awaiting execution, his chest rising and falling too fast, his hands shaking slightly where they rested on the table.
you thought about three years of mornings at your locker. three years of competitive grading. three years of him finding reasons to be in your orbit, even when you made it clear he wasn't welcome at all.
you thought about the coffee, the glasses, the way he knew your reading voice and your coffee order and the fact that you pushed your hair behind your ear when you were thinking.
you thought about how you'd actually never hated him either; at least, not the way real hatred felt cold and dead. your feelings for sukuna had always been hot, always been alive, always been demanding your attention when you wanted to focus on anything else.
you thought about the muffin.
"you're an idiot," you said.
sukuna blinked. "what?"
"you're an idiot," you repeated, and your voice was shaking, and you couldn't stop the smile that was spreading across your face, wide and disbelieving and probably ridiculous. "three years. three years of fighting over grades and arguing about literature and competing in karaoke contests, and the whole time you were just trying to get me to look at you?"
"to be fair, it worked. you looked at me constantly. justโnot in the way i wanted."
"because i thought you hated me!"
"yeah, i know! i realize that! i'm aware that my communication skills areโ"
"abysmal?"
"i was going to say 'deeply flawed', but yes, abysmal works."
you laughed.
you couldn't help it; it bubbled up from somewhere deep, somewhere that had been wound too tight for too long, and suddenly you were laughing so hard that tears were streaming down your face, and sukuna was staring at you like you'd lost your mind, which honestly you might have.
"i don't hate you either," you managed, between gasps. "i never hated you. i thought i did, but i don't think i know what hatred feels like anymore because every time i tried to hate you, i justโi just kept noticing things. like the way you tap your fingers when you're reading. and how you always hold the door for people even though you pretend not to. and you helped that freshman find their classroom last week even though you were late to your own class. and you look at me likeโ"
you stopped, swallowed, and looked at him.
"you look at me like i matter," you said softly. "and i didn't know what to do with that, so i called it hatred. because it was easier than admitting that maybe i wanted you to look at me forever."
sukuna made a sound, something wounded and hopeful all at once, and then he was moving โ not dramatically, not the way they do in movies, but slowly, carefully, like the boy was approaching something that might spook.
he reached across the table and took your hand, his fingers sliding between yours, and you both looked down at where you were connected like it was the most incredible thing either of you had ever seen.
"so," sukuna said, and his voice was unsteady, "just to be clear. we both wasted three years being convinced the other person hated them, when actuallyโ"
"when actually you have the emotional intelligence of a brick and i'm apparently blind."
"i was going to say we're both complete idiots, but yes, that's also very accurate."
you squeezed sukunaโs hand, and he squeezed back, and the smile he gave you was nothing like the ones you'd seen before; this one was real, this one reached his eyes, softened all his sharp edges, and made him look so sweet and so hopeful and so terrifyingly beautiful.
"what now?" you asked.
sukuna looked at your joined hands, then at your face, then back at your hands.
"well. i have a fifteen-page paper due in two weeks, and my partner is very distracting."
"your partner is sitting right here."
"i know." sukuna lifted your hand to his mouth and pressed a kiss to your knuckles, feather-light, his eyes never leaving yours. "trust me. i know."
you spent the rest of the afternoon in the library, but you didn't get any work done.
you talked instead โ really talked, for the first time in three years. you told him about the muffin, how you'd only taken it because you'd seen him reach for it and wanted an excuse to touch his hand, how you'd spent the rest of the day convinced you'd imagined the whole thing. he told you about the karaoke contest, how he'd picked journey specifically because he'd overheard you say it was your guilty pleasure, how he'd sung badly on purpose because he wanted to see you smile.
"i can't believe you can actually sing," you said, propping your chin on your hand. "and all this time i thought you were just terrible at music."
"i have many hidden talents."
"like secretly being in love with me for three years?"
sukunaโs ears went pink.
"that's not a talent. that's a crisis."
you reached across the table and touched his face, just because you could now, just because he was yours to touch. his stubble was rough against your fingertips, and he closed his eyes when you traced the line of his jaw, leaning into your palm like a cat seeking warmth.
"i'm sorry," you said quietly. "for all the times i was mean to you. for assuming the worst."
"don't be." sukuna turned his head and pressed a kiss to the center of your palm. "you gave as good as you got. it's one of the things i like about you."
"one of the things?"
sukuna slowly opened his eyes, and the look in them made your chest ache.
"i could give you a long list. it would take a while. we might need to order dinner."
"we're still in the library."
"the library has a cafe."
you laughed, and he smiled, and when he kissed you for the first time โ soft and slow and a little awkward, both of you smiling too much to do it properly โ you tasted coffee and cinnamon and something that felt like coming home.
the thing about loving ryomen sukuna was that it had never been a conscious decision either.
it just happened โ it happened the way spring follows winter, the way flowers naturally turn toward the sun, the way your hand found his under the library table and held on like you'd been doing it your whole life.
you'd been wrong about so many things.
but this was absolutely, perfectly right.
masterlist.
