Sukuna tries his hand at affection…
Sukuna, new to the concepts of intimacy and affection, often struggles to express it. There’s no doubt he enjoys when you wrap your arms around him so fearlessly or smother him in kisses like it’s nothing, but he can’t seem to get over his pride enough to that.
As a result, the maximum he will do is pat your head like you’re some pet while you’re cozied up in his lap. Sometimes he’ll tuck your head in under his chin to look at whatever nonsensical task you’ve taken upon. Very rarely, he’ll offer to brush your hair.
But then he feels like as sufficient as he is in himself, he’s not enough for you. Your relationship is far from conventional and he often feels baffled by why a person like you would even love him. However, come hell or high water, he won’t let you go.
So now that the morning sun has brightened up the room, he can merely admire his clingy ass woman— hair all disheveled and sheets tangled between your legs, blissfully in a state so relaxed when a killing machine is right next to you.
He doesn't even know why his hands reach to caress your face, thumb gently rubbing against the smoothness of your cheek. He's so screwed.
“Infuriating woman,” he's not sure if the words he's used have ever had such a soft undertone to it. But he doesn't mind anymore, strangely.
“Not nice of you to wake me up so rudely.”
His hand halts, a scowl forming on his face. You were awake?
“Tch. You lured me into this.”
You gasp, propping yourself up as he pulls his hand back, “it's my fault now?”
“Don't be so ashamed. You can do more of it, I'm not complaining.” You pull his hand back onto your cheek, demanding his affection again. You're too brave for your own good. But that's okay, he prefers that.
He pinches your cheek at the display of your shameless clinginess, “you truly are infuriating.”
Just like that, he welcomes you on his lap again where he best prefers you. For now, the fact that he lets you be so near is the best display of his feelings. The once proud and mighty man feels his pride flush down the drain when it comes to you.
