"Don't ever leave me."
"I would never. Believe it or not, I like you too much" you grinned, eyes turning into slits as you turned to face him, cupping his cheeks with your palms.
"Promise?"
"Promise."

"Do you think we could ever live a peaceful life?" you queried, glancing at his hunched form a few ways away from you. Sukuna was currently flicking a few fly heads. You threw a pillow at his figure, chastising him for being so cruel towards such weak and powerless curses.
"No. With my situation. With who I am." he paused, making his way towards your figure wrapping his arms around your waist as he placed his chin on your shoulder, pressing soft kisses against your neck.
"We could never live a normal life. There are always people who are going to be after me. Who wants to kill me. Of course, they're all fools," he smirked. "But we could never live a life where we would always be safe. Where we could live a life that allows us to have children. A life where we could have a family," he sighed. "Of course, I don't want kids. They're a nuisance. But...if it's you, then I don't mind."
He always knew how to make your heart jump.
"Who knew that the infamous Ryōmen Sukuna had such a big heart." you teased, pecking the tip of his nose lightly. He growled before tackling you into your shared futon. Your screams and laughter were heard throughout the empty house.
Everything was perfect.

"You need to start being careful. I know that this is what you want. This is what you've always wanted, something you've been working for, and that you enjoy this...but please, for my sake, take care of yourself better. I know–" he snarled, cutting you off before speaking.
"Why the fuck are you nagging me so much anyway?" he pushed you away, throwing the cloth that you used to disinfect his wounds onto the ground. "It's none of your concern." he brushed you off, pushing you aside to exit the room, not wanting to deal with you. "What do you mean it's none of my concern? I am your lover! I have every right to worry and care for you as you are my lover as well! I sit here for days, waiting for you to come back from your escapades. I wait and care because I love you!" you loudly exclaimed, grasping at his clothing in hopes of speaking with him about your problems.
He sighed.
"Look, you don't know anything. You just sit here and wait for me to come back every night like an obedient bitch. I could give a shit about you. Did you really think that you were my lover? Did you think that I was capable of love?"
Yes. Yes, you did.
___
"Look...I'm sorry. I didn't mean it," he gruffly apologized, scratching the back of his head sheepishly, avoiding your harsh gaze in shame. You sighed, turning your head before walking away, leaving him by himself. An annoyed sigh left his figure as he watched you walk away, guilt eating at his heart.
The thought of dealing with Sukuna at the moment made your heart hurt. Was he just lying to you? People did try to say things they didn't mean just to evoke reactions and emotions out of others. Though, this felt different. This was Ryōmen Sukuna we were talking about. You were delusional to think that you meant anything. He could get a better woman.
Compared to the women that threw themselves at him, you were plain. You weren't as pretty or as perky as the rest of them, using most of your spare time practicing your Jujutsu skills, wanting Sukuna to be proud of you. You wanted Sukuna to have something to brag about. Honing your skills and techniques daily just for his approval, not knowing just how impressed he was with your skill and determination.
