The sunlight pushing through the curtains felt violent against your eyes as you groaned softly and buried your face deeper into the pillow.
What the hell did Nobara have you drinking last night ?
Slowly, you reached over toward your phone sitting on the nightstand.
“...Shit.” You sat up slightly, immediately regretting it as dizziness slammed into your skull.
Your mascara was smeared beneath your eyes. Lip gloss faded. Hair tangled everywhere. You looked a absolute mess.
Then…your eyes landed on the notifications covering your screen.
All from Jacob… Your stomach dropped instantly. “No no no…”
Your fingers shook while opening the messages, and then---you saw the picture.
Sukuna…Holding you over his shoulder while you slept against him completely unaware. One arm locked tightly beneath your thighs while the hem of your dress had ridden dangerously higher from the angle. And the worst part..that smirk on his face.
Like he already owned you. Your heartbeat immediately sped up. “What the fuck happened last night…?” You quickly tried calling Jacob.
Straight to voicemail. “Jacob pick up…” you whispered frantically. By the fifth call, he finally answered.
“What the fuck do you want?” Your chest tightened instantly at the sound of his voice.
“What do you mean what do I want?” you snapped back quickly. “Jacob, I didn’t do anything!”
He laughed harshly into the phone. “Oh really?” You flinched slightly. “So some random fucking guy carrying you around and sending me pictures from your phone means nothing?”
“I don’t even remember that!” you cried. “I was drunk, Jacob!”
“Oh my god,” he scoffed. “So now you conveniently don’t remember?”
Tears immediately burned your eyes. “I swear I didn’t do anything---”
“You always do this shit,” he interrupted sharply. “You wanted to go to Japan so damn bad and now look.” Your breathing started shaking.
“You literally proved my point.”
“What point ?!” you cried.
“That long distance wasn’t gonna work!” he snapped. “One night there and you’re already throwing yourself around like a slut !”
Your chest physically hurt now. “Jacob please…”
Outside your apartment window…Sukuna stood silently listening.
The morning wind moved softly through his pink hair while his expression slowly darkened with every word leaving your mouth..His fists tightened at his sides. Why is she apologizing to him ?
The thought disgusted him.
Inside the apartment, tears rolled down your cheeks now. “I didn’t mean to hurt you,” you whispered shakily. “I swear I didn’t do anything.”
Jacob scoffed again. “Yeah whatever.”
“No please listen to me---”
“I didn’t choose anybody!” you cried. “Jacob, I love you!” Silence.
Outside, everything stopped completely. Even Sukuna froze. The pressure surrounding him shifted instantly. Curses hidden nearby immediately scattered in fear.
The words echoed violently through his mind. How dare she say those words to another man ?, To someone so beneath her ? Something dark twisted sharply inside his chest.
Blasphemy. Absolute blasphemy. Inside the apartment, your voice cracked again.
“Please just believe me…”
Jacob sighed harshly into the phone. “You know what? I’m done arguing.”
The panic in your chest worsened instantly. “Jacob wait---”
“Just leave me the fuck alone for awhile.” Then…the call ended.
Your eyes widened. “...Jacob?” Silence. The call screen stared back at you coldly. Then suddenly your chest collapsed inward. A broken sob escaped your throat as you dropped the phone beside you and buried your face into the pillow.
“Oh my god…” you cried shakily. “I literally hate my fucking life…” Outside the window… Sukuna listened to every sob. And something inside him snapped. Not loudly or violently.
His jaw tightened while his nails dug into his palms hard enough to draw blood. That pathetic human was making you cry.
The same woman kings once feared standing beside. The same soul he waited centuries to find again. And you were crying over him ? Sukuna slowly closed his eyes before pulling his phone out.
The call connected immediately.
His eyes remained fixed on your apartment window. “I want information on someone.” A pause. Then calmly---“Jacob.”
Silence lingered briefly on the other line before Uraume quietly asked: “Would you like me to kill him ?”Sukuna’s eyes darkened slightly.
“…No.” The air around him grew heavier.“Not yet.”
After the call ended, you stayed in bed for a long time staring blankly at the ceiling. Your chest still hurt. Every time your phone lit up, your heart jumped hoping it was Jacob finally texting you back..but it never was.
Eventually, you forced yourself up.
The shower water burned hot against your skin while mascara and smeared eyeliner washed slowly down the drain alongside the smell of alcohol and sweat from last night. You scrubbed yourself until your skin almost hurt.
Like maybe you could wash away the shame too.
By the time you stepped out, your freshly washed hair hung damp down your back while you changed into a tight cropped tank top and a pair of tiny shorts before lazily heating up ramen in the microwave.
Then you crawled back into bed.. Twilight playing softly against the dark walls of your apartment. This was your comfort movie. The one thing that usually made you feel better. But even that wasn’t helping now.
You spent the entire day curled beneath the blankets crying on and off while sending Jacob apology after apology.
YOU :please just talk to me
YOU : i swear nothing happened
Read…No response. Meanwhile, his story kept updating. Videos with friends, music, laughing.
Like you didn’t exist at all. That hurt worse than the yelling. By the time the clock finally hit 5 PM, your eyes burned painfully from crying.
You had just tossed your phone aside again when suddenly--- knock knock knock.
You froze. Another knock followed immediately afterward.
“Y/N?” Yuji’s voice. “Are you alive in there?” Then Megumi’s voice immediately afterward. “Shut up, idiot. Obviously she’s alive.”
“What?” Yuji defended. “She’s been locked in here literally all day!”
You groaned softly before dragging yourself out of bed and toward the door. The second you opened it, both boys immediately went quiet.
Your eyes were swollen red and puffy. You looked exhausted as hell. You sniffled softly. “...What do you want from me?”
Yuji’s face immediately softened. “Oh.”
Megumi awkwardly looked away for a second. “We heard you arguing earlier,” Yuji admitted quietly. “We just wanted to make sure you were okay.”
You laughed weakly. “Obviously I’m doing fantastic.”
Megumi sighed. “I don’t know why you keep talking to that guy anyway.”
Yuji immediately turned toward him. “Dude.”
“What?” Megumi frowned. “It’s true.” The second your eyes started watering again, Yuji panicked instantly.
“No no no no don’t cry again,” he said quickly.
Before you could react, he gently pulled you against his chest while awkwardly patting the top of your head.
“There we go,” he mumbled nervously.
Meanwhile Megumi sighed again before turning toward the exit of the apartment building. “…I’ll go get her something.”
“Yeah,” Yuji nodded quickly. “Like candy or something. Girls like candy when they’re sad.”
“That is not scientifically proven..”
“Just GO.” Megumi rolled his eyes before walking away.
Yuji carefully guided you toward the couch afterward while you wiped tears from your face again.
“I feel so stupid,” you whispered shakily into your hands. Yuji leaned back quietly while listening.
Then after a long pause, you looked up toward him nervously. “…Did I do anything with Sukuna ?”
Yuji blinked. Then scratched the back of his head awkwardly. “Sukuna’s not really the type to do stuff like that.”
“At least…” he added slowly, “that’s what he told us before he took you home.”
Your brows furrowed. “…He took me home?” Yuji nodded. “Yeah. You were really drunk.”
Heat immediately crept up your neck from embarrassment. “You almost fell leaving the club,” he continued. “So he carried you back here.”
You blinked slowly. “And that’s it?” Yuji nodded again. “That’s it.”
Silence settled briefly. Then Yuji leaned back against the couch cushions and shrugged. That surprised you. Because somehow, that wasn’t what you expected from Sukuna at all.
Internally, your thoughts were spiraling. If Sukuna really hadn’t touched you…then why would he send that picture to Jacob ? Why would he intentionally try to ruin your relationship ? Who the hell does this man think he is ?
You pulled your knees closer to your chest while Twilight continued playing softly in the background. Bella was currently walking through the woods while Edward silently followed after her through the trees.
Megumi stared at the screen blankly. “…Isn’t this technically harassment ?”
Yuji immediately groaned. “Oh my god, dude, just watch the movie.”
“No seriously,” Megumi continued. “He keeps following her around. That’s weird.”
“You don’t get romance,” Yuji argued dramatically.
“I don’t think YOU get restraining orders.” Before Yuji could defend Edward Cullen any further---BANG BANG BANG. The apartment door nearly flew open.
Megumi sighed instantly. “…Here comes trouble.” The second he opened the door---Nobara stormed inside carrying multiple bags.
“I brought emergency supplies!”
Yuji’s eyes widened dramatically. “IS THAT BOBA?”
“And spicy chips,” Nobara announced proudly. “And ice cream.” You looked up from the couch with watery eyes. “…I love you so much.”
“I know,” Nobara said confidently while dropping everything onto the table. Soon enough all four of you were piled together on the couch watching Twilight while passing snacks back and forth.
At some point during the movie, Nobara suddenly pointed toward the screen dramatically. “You know what your problem is?”
You frowned slightly.“What does that even mean?”
“It means,” Nobara continued while aggressively opening her chips, “that loser boyfriend of yours is ignoring you all day while posting on his story like you don’t exist.”
Yuji nodded immediately. “That IS messed up.”
“So,” Nobara continued proudly, “you need revenge.” You stared at her. “…Revenge?”
“Yes revenge!” she yelled. “Give him a taste of his own medicine!” You looked down toward your phone again quietly. Because at the end of the day…you didn’t actually do anything wrong. And yet somehow…you were the one suffering for it.
Your jaw tightened slightly. Maybe Nobara was right. Maybe it was his turn for once. Nobara suddenly sat up excitedly.
“We should go to the beach tomorrow!”
Yuji immediately pointed dramatically. “HELL YEAH.”
“I’ll bring my floaties.”
Megumi looked exhausted already. “...Why do I know this is going to end terribly?”
Right as everyone continued arguing, your phone buzzed softly in your hand.
Your brows furrowed slightly.
Then another text came through.
Unknown Number : How’s my little lamb doing?
Your entire stomach dropped. Slowly..your eyes lifted toward the TV screen. Edward Cullen’s voice echoed softly through the room. “And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.” Bella laughed softly afterward. “What a stupid lamb.”
Your heartbeat immediately sped up. No way. You quickly unlocked your phone.
Almost immediately, the typing bubble appeared.
Unknown Number : Such a cold response after I carried you home so carefully.
Your eyes widened. You immediately sat up straighter on the couch. What the hell?
YOU : The person who almost ruined my relationship ?
A few seconds passed. Then another message appeared.
Unknown Number : Almost ?
Your stomach twisted. Another text came immediately afterward.
Unknown Number : Little lamb…
Unknown Number : You speak as if you ever belonged to him in the first place.
Your breath caught sharply in your throat. Then another message..
Unknown Number : You were never his.
Unknown Number : He simply held something that already belonged to me.
Heat rushed violently through your chest. Your fingers froze over the screen. Because somehow, those words should have terrified you. But instead…they sent something warm and dangerous crawling slowly down your spine.
After the movie ended, Yuji and Megumi eventually headed back to their shared apartment.Yuji stretched dramatically before pointing toward you.
“You better actually sleep tonight.”
Megumi opened the apartment door before glancing back once more. “And stop texting that idiot.” You rolled your eyes weakly. “Goodnight to you too.” Nobara grabbed her purse before pointing at you next. “And YOU.” You blinked.
“Beauty rest. Immediately.”
“No arguments,” she interrupted dramatically. “Tomorrow we are going to the beach and we are going to look hot while doing it.”
Yuji nodded seriously. Nobara laughed before walking toward the door. “I’ll be back in the morning!”
Then just like that, they were gone. The apartment finally fell quiet afterward. You stared down at your phone again.
Your thumb hovered over the messages between you and Sukuna. Part of you wanted to respond, another part of you absolutely refused.
After a long moment, you locked the screen. “Yea,” you whispered to yourself quietly. “I’m over it.” You tossed the phone onto the bed before changing into your pajamas and crawling beneath the blankets.
But sleep didn’t come immediately. Because eventually, your hand slowly reached back over for your phone again. And before you could stop yourself---you opened the picture.
The one Sukuna sent Jacob. Your eyes slowly traced over it again. The way his arm held you securely.
That smirk..The way you looked so small against him.
Heat slowly curled in your stomach…annoyingly warm..Dangerously warm. You hated that you liked the picture…Even a little.
“…What the hell is wrong with me ?” you muttered softly. Still…you kept staring at it. Far longer than you should have. Eventually, you forced yourself to lock the phone again before finally setting it down and turning over beneath the blankets.
Meanwhile, far across the city..Sukuna watched quietly from his penthouse. The entire place looked less like an apartment and more like a throne built into the Tokyo skyline.
Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the glittering city below while dark marble floors reflected the soft glow from the monitors surrounding him.
One of the computer screens displayed your cloned phone in real time,and currently he was watching you stare at that photo.
A low amused laugh rumbled from his chest. “There you are y/n…” His fingers tapped slowly against the armrest of his chair before his phone rang softly.
He answered immediately. “Yes ?”
Sukuna leaned back slightly. “And ?”
A picture appeared moments later on the monitor. Jacob, In another girl’s car. His hand around her waist while kissing her neck like you had never existed at all. Sukuna stared at the image silently for a few moments.
Then, he laughed softly. Pathetic. “This…” he murmured quietly, “is what she wastes her tears over ?”
Uraume remained silent on the other line. Then calmly asked:
“What would you like me to do ?” Sukuna’s eyes darkened slightly while staring at the photo. “Nothing yet.” His voice lowered dangerously. “Death is far too merciful for men like him.”
A slow grin stretched across his face. “I want him to suffer first.” The air in the penthouse suddenly felt heavier. “Gather everything you can about him.” A pause. “And the girl.”
“Understood.” The call ended shortly afterward. Sukuna leaned back again before scrolling further through your cloned photos.
Then..he stopped once he noticed something familiar .His eyes narrowed slightly at another picture of you and the same girl currently wrapped around Jacob in that car.
The smile on your face looked genuine. Like she was your friend. “…Interesting.” So not only was Jacob betraying you..but so was someone you trusted. How disgusting. Sukuna stared at the screen for another moment before suddenly shutting the monitor off entirely. “I can’t stand this shit.”
The next second, he was gone. Your apartment remained quiet and dark when he entered using the spare key still hidden in his pocket. Everything was still and peaceful.
Then he stepped into your bedroom, and there you were. Asleep beneath the blankets. Breathing softly, completely unaware. Sukuna quietly sat down in the chair resting in the corner of your room before simply watching you.
Your chest slowly rose and fell with every breath. For a moment, he considered touching you. Brushing your hair away from your face..Tracing his thumb along your cheek.
That would wake you. So instead, he stayed exactly where he was. Hours passed quietly. Then sometime deep into the night, your breathing suddenly changed.
Sukuna’s eyes narrowed slightly. You were dreaming. Your brows furrowed softly against the pillow while your body shifted beneath the blankets.
Then quietly..barely above a whisper--- “…Sukuna…” The sound instantly stilled him. Your voice sounded soft and breathless. Like a whimper.
Something dark shifted inside his chest immediately. His eyes locked onto you completely now. Meanwhile in your dream, Jacob’s face had slowly begun changing. Melting away.
Until eventually, pink hair replaced it…Tattooed arms…Crimson eyes.
He hovered over you in the dream while pinning your wrists above your head, trapping you completely beneath him while your breathing turned shallow underneath his gaze, and somehow..even asleep, your body reacted. Your thighs pressed together slightly beneath the blankets while another quiet breath escaped your lips.
Sukuna watched every second of it. And for the rest of the night, he never once looked away.
Then morning came. Soft sunlight spilled across your room while your eyes slowly fluttered open.
Immediately..you felt it. That strange feeling. Like someone had been watching you. Your heart immediately sped up. Quickly, you sat up and looked around the room.
Nothing. Nobody there. Just silence.
You frowned slightly. “…Weird.” You tried not to think too hard about the strange feeling lingering in your chest…Or the dream…Or Sukuna. Definitely not Sukuna. You groaned softly while rubbing your face before forcing yourself out of bed.
Today was supposed to be fun. No crying over Jacob. No weird cursed energy nonsense. No overthinking.
So after showering, you changed into a soft baby pink bikini that hugged your body perfectly before pulling a pair of low-waisted shorts over it along with a sheer cover-up that flowed lightly around your thighs every time you moved.
You threw your curls up into a messy bun, leaving a few pieces framing your face before sliding on white flip-flops and grabbing your oversized pink tote bag stuffed with sunscreen, snacks, lip gloss, a towel, and whatever else Nobara claimed was “absolutely necessary for hot girl beach survival.”
Then you headed next door.
The second you knocked..you immediately heard chaos inside.
“I told you I’m driving so I’m picking the music.”
“The music YOU pick sucks!”
You sighed. “…Good morning to you too.” The apartment suddenly went silent. Then the door swung open.
Yuji froze…Completely. “…Whoa.”
Behind him, Megumi looked up from the couch..then immediately looked away again. “…tch”
Your brows furrowed slightly. “What is wrong with you two ?”
Yuji looked genuinely stunned. “No because ---.” He pointed dramatically at your outfit. “You look like you walked straight out of a summer commercial.”
“That doesn’t even make sense.”
“It makes perfect sense,” Yuji argued immediately.
Megumi sighed while rubbing his temples. “You’re being weird again.”
“I’m NOT being weird,” Yuji defended. “She just looks really pretty today !”
That made heat creep slightly into your cheeks. Before you could respond Nobara suddenly appeared from somewhere inside the apartment holding sunglasses dramatically.
Then she saw you and screamed. “OH YOU LOOK HOT.”
You burst out laughing while Nobara grabbed your shoulders dramatically. “Jacob is SICK right now and he doesn’t even know it yet.”
“No no,” she interrupted immediately. “Today is about revenge. Hot girl revenge.”
Megumi groaned softly from the couch. “Please don’t encourage her.” Too late. Nobara already shoved oversized sunglasses onto your face. “There,” she said proudly. “Perfect.”
Megumi quietly glanced toward you again before immediately looking away for the second time. “…We should probably leave before Nobara starts another photoshoot.”
Your phone suddenly buzzed inside your tote bag. Your stomach tightened instantly.
Because somehow…you already knew who it was before even looking.
Your phone buzzed again inside your tote bag.
You lazily pulled it out while adjusting your sunglasses.
You rolled your eyes instantly.
YOU : yeah what about it? scared of a little water?
The typing bubble appeared almost immediately.
SUKUNA : I’m not scared of anything, sweetheart.
Heat curled annoyingly in your stomach again. You quickly locked your phone before tossing it back into your tote. “Alright,” you sighed dramatically while standing up. “Let’s go before I melt.”
The beach itself was gorgeous. Bright blue water stretched endlessly beneath the summer sky while waves crashed softly against the shore and music echoed from nearby groups scattered across the sand.
Meanwhile…Yuji and Megumi were currently losing a life-or-death battle against the beach umbrella.
“No no HOLD IT STRAIGHT---”
“I AM HOLDING IT STRAIGHT.”
“THEN WHY IS IT BENDING?!”
“You’re cheap!” You sat comfortably in your folding chair sipping your little beach drink while watching them struggle with amusement.
Nobara snorted beside you. “They share one brain cell.” “Barely,” you agreed.
After another five agonizing minutes, the umbrella finally stood upright. Yuji dramatically raised his fists into the air. “VICTORY!”
Megumi collapsed into the sand immediately afterward. “…I hate summer.” Nobara suddenly sat up. “Wait.” Her eyes sparkled dangerously. “We need pictures.”
You laughed softly. “Oh my god.”
“No seriously,” she insisted while already grabbing your phone. “Come on. Hot girl beach photos immediately.”
You sighed dramatically before standing up. Then slowly, you pulled the sheer cover-up over your head before sliding your shorts down your thighs.
Yuji’s jaw literally dropped.
Because your bikini barely covered anything while somehow still looking cute. Soft baby pink against glowing skin.
Your body looked insane. Like actually unfairly insane.
Yuji immediately turned around. Megumi grabbed his face and shoved him further away.
Meanwhile Nobara looked completely unbothered. “God really does have favorites,” she muttered while opening the sunscreen bottle.
You laughed before turning around slightly. “Can you help me with the back?”
The second you turned around, both boys immediately malfunctioned again. Yuji nearly choked on air. Megumi looked away so fast it was almost violent. Because got damn..
Nobara casually rubbed sunscreen across your back while the two boys behind you struggled to act normal human beings.
Then afterward you let your curls fall down from the messy bun completely. The ocean breeze instantly caught through them beautifully. Soon enough Nobara started taking pictures while directing you around like a professional photographer.
“Okay now look over your shoulder.”
“Now sit near the water.”
Yuji leaned toward Megumi quietly. “…Do you think she knows she’s hot?”
Megumi immediately deadpanned. “Obviously.”
Then, a shadow suddenly fell across the group.
“Well now,” a new voice drawled smoothly. “What exactly do we have here?”
Everyone looked up. A tall blond man stood there wearing tinted circular glasses and an open beach shirt revealing a toned chest beneath. Confident grin. Relaxed posture….Dangerously attractive.
Right behind him walked an absurdly tall white-haired man wearing dark sunglasses and beach shorts with his hands casually tucked into his pockets. The white-haired man immediately stopped dead the second he saw you. Then smirked “Oh wow,” he breathed. “ You didn't tell me the beach came with a final boss.”
You blinked slowly. “…Excuse me?”
Gojo stared at you for another second too long before slowly pushing his sunglasses to the bride of his nose “Oh this is dangerous..I respect women deeply,” he said seriously. A pause. “...But wow.”
Yuji groaned instantly. “Oh no.” Nobara narrowed her eyes immediately.
“…Who are you people?” The blond man sighed tiredly, Then shortly after he gestured toward himself politely. “Kento Nanami.”
Then toward the white-haired idiot beside him. “And this embarrassment is Satoru Gojo.” Gojo waved enthusiastically. “Teacher, model, strongest sorcerer alive---”
“Annoying,” Megumi interrupted flatly.
Gojo ignored him completely while staring directly at you again. You slowly lowered your sunglasses slightly while staring back at him.
Before Gojo could speak again he suddenly stopped. Because the moment his eyes fully settled on you, he felt it. A monstrous wave of cursed energy slammed into him so hard it nearly stole the breath from his lungs.
His smile faltered slightly beneath the sunglasses. “…Whoa.” You blinked at him strangely, then rolled your eyes. “You know what? Whatever.”
Nobara immediately grabbed your wrist afterward. “Come on. Ignore the weird men.”
“Gladly.” Then both of you ran toward the ocean laughing.
Gojo watched you go silently..Still stunned. Nanami adjusted his glasses slightly beside him. “…You felt it too.” Gojo laughed softly beneath his breath. “Oh, I definitely felt it.”
Meanwhile Yuji stretched out in the sand nearby. “That’s Y/N.”
Megumi crossed his arms while leaning back in his chair. “And Sukuna already called dibs,” he added flatly. “So don’t even bother.”
Gojo tilted his head slightly. “…Dibs?” A grin slowly stretched across his face. “Well that’s funny.”
A voice suddenly appeared behind him. “What’s funny?”
Everyone looked up. Sukuna stood there with his hands in his pockets, pink hair moving slightly in the ocean breeze while his crimson eyes remained locked toward the water where you were laughing with Nobara.
Gojo smirked immediately. “Oh nothing,” he answered casually. “Just admiring the lovely view.” Sukuna’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Then admire your ass somewhere else.”
Yuji immediately looked away. “…Oh boy.”
Gojo laughed. “Jealous, are we now Sukuna ?”
Sukuna’s expression darkened instantly. “You haven’t seen jealous.”
Out in the water, you noticed him immediately, and irritation instantly flared in your chest. This scum. After everything he did ? After ruining your relationship ? He really had the audacity to just show up here looking unbothered ?
You splashed water aggressively while glaring from a distance. Nobara blinked beside you. “…Okay wow. That glare was personal.”
“It is personal.” Back on shore, the boys eventually settled into the beach chairs while talking amongst themselves.
Meanwhile, you finally decided to head back toward your tote bag for another drink. The second you stepped from the water..everything slowed.
Sunlight glistened against your wet skin while water slowly dripped down your body and legs with every step toward the shore. Your curls clung damply against your shoulders. Your bikini looked even smaller now soaked against your body, and every single person watching completely stilled.
Especially Sukuna. His eyes locked onto you immediately dangerously. Nobody deserves to see her like this. The thought came instantly. Because you looked unreal..Like temptation itself walking straight toward him.
And the worst part ? He knew exactly what you were doing. You were teasing him..You had to be. Because instead of grabbing your drink from the opposite side, you walked directly toward the chair beside him.
Then leaned over him. Close enough for cold ocean water dripping from your skin to land against his chest and arm. Your breasts brushed lightly against him for the briefest second while reaching into your tote bag.
Sukuna immediately froze. Every muscle in his body tightened. You grabbed your drink casually before flipping your damp curls back over your shoulder like nothing happened.
Meanwhile Gojo literally stared in disbelief. “…Oh my dear god.”
Nanami sighed instantly. “Please stop talking.”
But Sukuna wasn’t even listening anymore. Because the second Gojo kept staring, Sukuna grabbed him violently by the front of his shirt.
The beach chairs scraped harshly against the sand. Gojo blinked. Sukuna’s voice dropped low beside his ear. “You’re going to lose those eyes if you keep looking at her like that, you fucking bastard.”
The air instantly became suffocating. Cursed energy crackled violently around him. Gojo slowly grinned despite it. “…Wow.”
Yuji immediately panicked. “OKAY maybe let’s not kill each other at the beach---” Meanwhile, you casually took a sip of your drink while pretending not to notice the chaos .Even though your heart was pounding wildly in your chest.
You stared at all of them from behind your sunglasses.
“…So are you guys allergic to water or something?”
Yuji immediately sat up. “What? No.”
Nobara snorted loudly. “Yuji can’t swim.”
Yuji pointed dramatically. “BRO STOP LYING.”
Megumi deadpanned from his chair. “You literally almost drowned at training camp.”
You laughed softly before laying back against the beach chair beside Sukuna, letting the sunlight warm your skin while ocean breeze drifted across your body.
Sukuna’s eyes slowly dragged over you again. “That bikini barely counts as clothing.”
You slowly turned your head toward him. “…And now you’re telling me what to wear?” His eyes narrowed slightly as you continued to speak. “This is becoming very interesting behavior for someone I supposedly just met.”
“Hm.” He leaned back slightly. “Just met, huh?”
You stared at him for a moment longer. Then quietly--- “…You know what’s weird?”
He didn’t answer. But he was listening. You looked back toward the ocean again. “It feels like I’ve known you before.”
Sukuna stilled. You laughed softly afterward. “I don’t know. Something about you just feels…” You tried to find the words..Because he felt Familiar and dangerous..But also warm.
“…Whatever.” Before he could respond, you grabbed your phone and started posting the beach pictures Nobara took earlier.
Immediately Sukuna’s voice cut through the air beside you. “Trying to make your little boyfriend jealous?”
You scoffed instantly. “Oh now you care about making him jealous?”
Your eyes narrowed toward him. “You were literally the one who sent him that picture without my permission.”
“Hm.” Sukuna’s expression darkened slightly. “Watch your mouth, brat.” You slowly looked toward him again. “…Or what?”
The second your eyes met, heat exploded low in your stomach again and chills ran through your body. That same dangerous warmth. Like his gaze itself touched you.
And the worst part about it… It almost made you want to push him further. Test him more. But you quickly looked back down at your phone instead.
Because no… absolutely not. You were loyal to Jacob…Right?
After scrolling through comments and likes for another minute, you tossed your phone back into your tote before getting up.
Nobara immediately followed you back toward the water.
The second you disappeared into the waves, your phone started buzzing violently inside the tote.
Gojo glanced toward the bag. Then slowly looked at Sukuna. “...You wouldn’t.”
Sukuna smirked slightly. “Oh really?”
He casually reached into your tote and pulled the phone out.
Jacob…Calling. Again. Five times in a row.
JACOB❤️: nice job showing off for instagram you fucking slut.
JACOB❤️: you just keep digging the knife deeper yourself.
The air around Sukuna instantly became colder..Yuji blinked nervously.“…Uh oh.”
Sukuna stared at the message silently for a few moments. Then unlocked your phone and texted back.
YOU : You could barely screw yourself
A pause. Then another message.
JACOB❤️: That’s not what you were saying the night before you left for Japan, sweetheart.
Sukuna’s eyes darkened immediately afterward. So…you let him touch you…Disgusting. Without another word, Sukuna lifted your phone slightly and snapped a picture from his point of view.
You. Laughing in the ocean with sunlight glistening against your skin. Then he sent it.
Immediately, Jacob started typing furiously.
JACOB❤️: who the fuck is this?
YOU : Your worst nightmare.
Then calmly--- he deleted every message. Every trace of their interaction..Like it never happened. Then he casually slipped your phone back into your tote right before you returned.
A while later, everyone finally started packing up.
Yuji stretched dramatically. “Yeahhh I’m cooked.”
Megumi nodded immediately. “We should head back.” Soon enough, all of you were piled into the car heading home while warm evening air drifted through the windows.
That’s when you finally checked your phone again and immediately frowned. Because Jacob was spiraling again.
JACOB❤️: you two can have each other.
JACOB❤️: clearly you moved on fast enough.
You stared at the messages for a long moment.
Then finally…something inside you snapped. Your thumbs moved quickly across the screen.
YOU : You keep texting my phone with bullshit ever since I left for Japan.
YOU : It’s like you’re LOOKING for a reason to fight with me every single day.
YOU : You cry about something constantly like we’re in some weird competition.
You immediately turned your phone on do not disturb before tossing it back into your bag and staring quietly out the window while wind moved softly through your hair.
Meanwhile…from the cloned phone--- Sukuna watched your message appear.
And for the first time all day, he actually laughed. Satisfied. Good girl. Back at the apartment building, everyone slowly dragged themselves upstairs exhausted from the beach.
Nobara suddenly gasped dramatically halfway down the hall. “WAIT.”
Everyone groaned instantly. “What now?” Megumi sighed.
“We should play a game.” Yuji immediately pointed. “Oh hell yeah.”
“No,” Megumi answered instantly.
“Yes,” Nobara corrected. “Because Y/N clearly needs to stop thinking about loser-boyfriend drama.”
You laughed tiredly. “What kind of game?”
Nobara grinned slowly. “Truth or dare.”
Megumi literally turned around to leave, absolutely not… But before he could.--- Sukuna’s voice sounded quietly behind everyone. “…Sounds fun.” And the second you looked at him…that dangerous warmth spread through your stomach all over again.
Because the way he was staring at you now ? It didn’t feel playful anymore...
The game started off stupidly, completely stupidly. Yuji ended up getting dared to chug an entire soda without breathing and almost passed out dramatically on the couch while Nobara screamed at him for being an idiot.
Megumi got truth. Unfortunately. Which immediately turned into Nobara aggressively interrogating him about whether he had ever liked anyone before.
“I’m leaving,” Megumi muttered flatly.
“You can’t leave during the game,” Nobara argued.
“This is psychological warfare.” Then--- Sukuna leaned back lazily against the couch.
“My turn.” The room instantly quieted slightly. Because there was just something about him..The way he spoke…The way he looked at people. Like he already owned the room before he even entered it.
Slowly..his crimson eyes shifted toward you…and your stomach immediately tightened. “I dare you,” he said smoothly, “to sit on my lap for the rest of the game.”
Yuji choked on air. Megumi immediately rubbed his face.
Meanwhile…your heart had started beating so hard it almost hurt. But you forced yourself to stay calm, cool and collected.
“Okay,” you answered casually. Then stood up and walked towards him. Sukuna watched every step you took toward him. Every movement. Every breath. Until finally--- you lowered yourself carefully onto his lap.
And immediately realized your mistake..Because he was huge. His thighs spread comfortably beneath you while one arm rested lazily along the back of the couch.
You felt unbelievably small compared to him..Heat instantly rushed to your face. Meanwhile Sukuna adjusted you closer to him like it was natural. One large hand grabbed your hips firmly before shifting you slightly higher against him.
“There,” he murmured lowly near your ear. “Just like that little lamb.”
Your breath caught slightly. Then his hand settled over your thigh. It was large and heavy. Slowly rubbing circles against your knee.
And your body reacted instantly..Because somehow..that spot felt sensitive. Like he already knew exactly where to touch you.
Sukuna noticed immediately. A dangerous smirk slowly tugged at his mouth.
The game continued around you. But honestly ? You could barely focus anymore. Not when his fingers kept tracing slow patterns against your skin. Not when his chest pressed against your back every time he leaned closer.
Not when his voice suddenly dropped beside your ear. “So,” he murmured softly enough for only you to hear, “I dare you to tell me what you were dreaming about last night.”
Your eyes widened slightly..Then narrowed. “…Were you watching me sleep ?” A deep quiet laugh vibrated against you.
“Only if you want me to...”
Heat flooded through your entire body. You almost stood up instantly..but the second you moved, his hand tightened sharply against your thigh and pulled you right back down against him.
A small sound escaped your throat before you could stop it. Sukuna’s eyes darkened immediately..There it is.
Slowly..his hand began drifting higher. From your knee up to your thigh. Thumb tracing dangerously slow circles against your inner thigh now. Your breathing hitched. “Sukuna---”
“..Careful little lamb. ” he murmured beside your ear. “You say my name like that again and I might forget how patient I've been trying to be with you.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
His hand squeezed your thigh suddenly.
A soft gasp escaped you immediately. Sukuna grinned dangerously.. “Yeah,” he whispered darkly. “Right there,?”
Your entire body felt hot…too hot. Especially when he leaned even closer. “Go ahead,” he murmured. “Tell me to stop touching you.”
His thumb pressed slightly harder.
“Tell me you wish it was Jacob touching you instead of me.” Another squeeze. “Go ahead, little lamb.”
You opened your mouth.But nothing came out. Because honestly ?...You didn’t want him to stop and Sukuna knew it. “That’s exactly what the fuck I thought.” Another squeeze. This time your breath visibly trembled.
Across the room Nobara suddenly pointed dramatically. “Your turn!”
You blinked quickly like waking from a trance. “…I actually don’t wanna play anymore.”
Sukuna’s hand tightened again immediately. “Come on,” he drawled smoothly. “Don’t be a sore loser now.” The way he kept slowly rubbing your thigh while speaking almost made it impossible to think.
“…Fine,” you muttered quietly. “Dare.”
Nobara immediately gasped. “OHHH.”
Yuji leaned forward excitedly. “This is getting good.”
Sukuna slowly smiled behind you. “She dares, hm?” His hand slid just slightly higher up your thigh..Enough to make your breath catch again.
Your heart pounded violently against your ribs. The room suddenly felt too warm and too small.
Slowly...you turned your head toward him.
“…Why are you looking at me like that?”
Then Silence. Actual silence. Even Nobara stopped moving. Because for the first time all night--- Sukuna looked completely speechless. His crimson eyes stayed locked onto yours. But there was no teasing now. No smirk or mocking grin. Because the truth was…he didn’t even know where to begin.
How could words explain something that transcended lifetimes ? How could he explain the feeling of finding the soul he spent centuries searching for ? How could he explain the rage he felt every time another man touched you ? The obsession for you. The devotion for you…The hunger. The unbearable need to keep you close.
Words couldn’t describe it.
And for once, Ryomen Sukuna had no answer. Your breathing became uneven beneath his stare.
Then suddenly, you stood up quickly. “…Game’s over.”
Nobara blinked. “What? Already?”
“I’m tired,” you lied immediately. You grabbed your phone from the table quickly before avoiding Sukuna’s eyes entirely. “I’ll talk to you guys later.”
Then you walked out. The second your apartment door shut behind you..you leaned against it heavily.
Hand clutching your chest. “…Oh my god.”
Your heart would not calm down. Gosh. That man was infuriating…absolutely infuriating. You rubbed your face dramatically before pacing toward your room…but then your hand slowly brushed against your thigh.
The exact spot where he kept squeezing you earlier…and heat immediately curled through your stomach again. Your breath caught slightly. Because it felt good. Way too good…Embarrassingly good.You sat down slowly on the edge of your bed while staring blankly at the wall.
“…I wish he did it again..” The second the thought crossed your mind---you buried your face into your hands dramatically. “What is WRONG with me?!”
Meanwhile…back in the apartment next door, the silence still lingered. Yuji slowly looked toward Sukuna. “…You gonna snap out of it or what?”
Sukuna finally blinked, then slowly stood up. The expression on his face now looked darker. Without another word..he walked out of the apartment. Megumi watched him leave carefully. “…Someone’s about to die.”
Outside, cool night air moved through the city while Sukuna pulled out his phone calmly.
The call barely rang once before Uraume answered.
Sukuna’s eyes darkened toward the city lights below. “It’s time.”
Uraume immediately straightened on the other end. “What are your orders?”
A slow smile spread across Sukuna’s face. Cold. Cruel, and absolutely terrifying.
Silence. Then--- “And the pathetic whore he’s been fucking behind her back this entire time.”
The cursed energy around him pulsed violently. “Make sure they understand exactly why it’s happening.”
And somewhere far across the ocean--
Jacob’s phone suddenly buzzed.
