under da sea! — series mlist
sukuna is an idiot. that’s 100% for sure.
not in the sense that he is dumb, or unintelligent. far from it.
more in the…emotional sense.
he loved to piss people off. he loved to start arguments and he loved to win fist fights.
wouldn’t exactly be on his top ten recommended things to do.
he was is a dickhead that doesn’t think he words through and instead of admitting that…he makes things worse.
first, he didn’t acknowledge you…entirely just huffing and puffing when you only spoke to him when necessary.
it’s only been about a week of the unspoken but very outspoken beef between you two and knowing he had nothing to fix the mess and the hurtful words that he caused.
sukuna did what anyone would do.
he tried to spend more time with you of course!
so when the pre school was preparing for the annual aquarium trip…sukuna may or may not have filled out a form for you while he did his own.
and when you picked up junpei a few days later?
oh the daycare director (a step under yaga) was oh so greatful you offered to help when they were so short handed and most guardians were busy!
you couldn’t say no. not then.
not with her smiling at you so gratefully and your son beamed that you were able to get time off for the trip!
you smiled tightly patting your son’s back as the director jabbered on, even though your eyes for the first time in days, landed on sukuna with an icy glare.
so now here he was at the aquarium standing next to you in a very unusual and albeit uncomfortable silence while yuuji and junpei jumped up and down while waiting to get in line.
this was his chance! he could make amends right his wrongs, and maybe ask you on a date.
but his rejection came in a tall, handsome case of a 6’4 (idk his actual height ok sue me) dashing shiu as he walked behind megumi towards the pre schoolers.
“ah! mr fushiguro told me megumi’s uncle would be accompanying him today, you’re mister…?”
the man stalked over to where you were, your face gaining a bright smile as he basically snugged you onto his side.
“hi pretty,” his eyes drifted further left, “sukuna.”
ah so he can remember names.
and in they went to the aquarium.
it was bad enough you didn’t speak to sukuna.
but it was worse that shiu was able to pull small huffs and laughs as you followed the bungle of kids through the big open space.
and it down right sinful that sukuna had to witness all of it. and he couldn’t even stop it since it wasn’t his place and the damn teacher kept him glued to her side.
as the past few days went he didn’t get to say much to you, just catching small glances here and there to your face, your pretty outfit and your glowing smile as you talked to your son.
he did however, get to hold your bag for a second when you bent down to help your son tie his shoe!
going off into smaller groups junpei, yuuji and megumi jumped off to the large glass opening to watch the fish swim above them.
“i see baby,” you giggled eyes moving around sukuna on instinct as you looked for a particular man.
“where did he run off to?”
you pursued your lips finally meeting his intense red eyes as you sighed shaking your head, “i don’t know. third time he did this today.”
“mommy! mommy!,” you son thankfully interrupted, “i want to go closer!”
you smiled at him, picking him up on your hip to the glass, “this better baby?”
“noooo,” he whined his hands grabbing up to the glass again, “you’re short.”
two rough tatted hands grabbed junpei out your arms and pulled him up to his shoulders. the boys eyes grew wide as his mouth dropped open, in awe at the sting ray passing above him.
you grasped your son’s leg as he started to flap in excitement, eyes meeting sukuna’s again as he gazed down at you almost softly.
“well…thank you again ryoumen.”
is what he would’ve said. maybe what he really should have said.
but for one it was goofy and two shiu appeared again rubbing the back of his neck like he wasn’t missing in action away from his ‘nephew’ that was in his care.
but as expected your attention was a instantly captured again, just as yuuji and megumi were pulling at sukuna for a turn next.
“alright—alright geez squirt,” he grunted bending to grab them, “i got two shoulders y’know.”
you did however notice how he stalled as he observed you turn away to listen to shiu’s excuse.
but god sukuna wanted to fix it. so he would need a small intervention with the name of yuuji and megumi—who reluctantly agreed to this—(nobara called him old and stinky so she’s out!)
first, he had to get rid of the that teacher.
whether she had a crush on him or really cause sukuna’s presence scared the staff enough to give the kids extra perks at the cut off areas…we will never know!
but he needed her to GO ASAP.
and he needed shiu distracted but not gone since that would steal your attention away from him.
that’s where the gremlins came in, megumi the usually quiet boy made a scene clobbering until he made enough noise his uncle sighed, pulling his attention away from you to the boy.
“you didn’t eat lunch yet.”
“okay i want to see the stinkray.”
“you just saw them when i was on the phone.”
“okay well,” the boy scrunched his face in immense concentration, finger itching his chin before he looked back at his uncle, “i have to shit.”
the sharp gasp that came from the other volunteers, and the sniffled snort from you was enough for shiu to grind his teeth together and sheepishly try to save the last of his…dignity?….sanity? maybe both honestly.
though sukuna did owe the boy two new plushies and a six month load of dinosaur gummies, toji will kill him for, it was worth it.
now for yuuji, oh goodness…yuuji.
sukuna whipped around looking for the next short tuft of pink hair… he’s gone.
“yuuji?”, you whipped around counting the heads, “he was just right here.”
fucking great. the little shit was gone!
and now even thirty five minutes later and a few scattered volunteers and chaperones…yuuji was still missing.
“what the fuck?”, sukuna ran his head through his slick hair, breathing deeply as he looked at a display of fish again.
well the boy can swim, maybe he wanted a little dive? sukuna was supposed to take him to the pool two weeks ago.
this cannot be happening.
what the fuck would jin say? a missing posters picture for his son plastered all over the city would truly make the man find another reason to call sukuna a fuckup.
his father? oh god, he might even take yuuji, send him to boarding school or collapse on the drive back from snatching him.
where could he have gone?
“ryo..”, your calm voice broke through his thoughts.
your warm hands rubbing soothing circles on his back that had him melting in no time, as he spinned around to your concerned eyes.
“don’t worry…”, you sighed, “he probably just saw something cool and wondered off, yeah?”
“i don’t know. he could have been snatched..he is kinda cute.”
“don’t you remember you pay for our life360,” you giggled lightly, one hand still resting on his chest in familiarity as you fished out your phone.
“see”, you said turning the screen to him, “he’s still at the aquarium. i’m right here and here’s junpei, here’s you, here’s megumi…and toji’s is off.”
sukuna snorted watching the black bubble around toji’s name, “figures.”
“well,” your hand coming back and landing on his chest as you tapped your fingers, “he’s still here and we’re not leaving without him.”
you both paused for a moment, your soft hands sat still rubbing soft circles around his ribs, brining him back down to earth.
“i didn’t mean it, ahem— like that.”
“what?”, your eyebrows scrunched as you observed the now sheepish pink haired man scratch his neck.
“you’re not a family hopper or whatever the fuck. it was mean…”
“you were jealous…you mean.”
“something like that,” he tsked, straightening back to your face, “either way it was uncalled for. you and junpei are always welcome…yuuji loves you guys.”
“ah it’s yuuji and not you,” you tilted your head at him.
“me and yuuji are a package deal…”, his hand rested on your hip as his eyes drifted around your face, “won’t happen again.”
“better not, you fucker!”, you whispered as you smiled at a mom passing with her stroller, “i’m still mad at you so you still have to make it up to me.”
“i will—gosh, you’re all such a handful.”
“what’s going on?”, a gruff male voice cut sukuna off as you whipped around to see shiu, megumi…
“oh my gosh!, yuuji baby where were you?”, you screeched hugging the boy as you checked him for any injuries.
“ah i had to take a call so he came with us to the touching pond.”
“we thought he was missing.”
“oh damn,” the man muttered tapping at his phone, looking up briefly to your angry face, “he’s okay i should have communicated he followed us, thought he told you.”
sukuna came up behind you, face unreadable as he dropped a heavy hand on yuuji’s head and ruffled his hair.
“or your dino collections gets it.”
the two boys gasped as they watched sukuna’s wicked grin, as he let go of yuuji’s head with a slight push and a scoff as he passed shiu.
“let’s go get some food. im done with this shit.”
he stopped just as the two boys passed him, shiu nearly dodging a woman passing while typing in his phone.
you sighed at shiu, whose phone started ringing again, “i’ll make megumi tonight and let toji know, you should stay and deal with…”
your hand came up and gestured vaguely to his phone, “that.”
“listen im sorry, this was last minut—”
“you shouldn’t be saying sorry to me shiu,” you shook your head brushing megumi’s hair as he smiled up at you showing his drawing he made earlier.
you finally looked at sukuna, “okay let’s let the teacher know we found him, get junpei and let’s go.”
“is this the start of the apology?”
you slapped his chest as the boys ran back to their class, “i’m joking—damn that hurt a little.”
sukuna could only grin as he watched the teacher sigh in relief and your happy smile he’s got to see for the first time in days as you pulled your son from the line.
okay maybe let’s not lie…
but it’s definitely a start!
and sukuna will be victorious.
