Loving a cursed heart - Sukufushi

Our flowers burn like our heart

He lays there awake. He feels cold, even though there's a beam of light coming out the window. He's cold, touch-starved, and so so alone.

"Goo-"

he throws his pillow over his ears, he's done crying over a dead man. Even tho it still hurt, everything hurt. He remembers the way Megumi would greet him each morning, those mornings filled with kisses, soon the flowers joined in their loving mornings. Loving mornings changed into deadly coughing, throwing up those wretched and ugly flowers.

"My king, go-"
"Shuddup, your not Megumi"

It wasn't Megumi. There was no one here. He's gone crazy, he's seeing things. He can hear his love, but he so sick of playing these games with ghosts that cant touch him. Cant love him. It hurt, everything hurt and he couldn't wake up. He let the world burn, it didn't matter, he wasn't here.

"Oh but Sukuna, your Megumi is so lonely. Waiting there"

He stayed quiet, no use to talking to ghosts of people

"He still loves you, so love him. Love him, love him as he loved you"

So Megumi was waiting for him? Where was he waiting, he needed to hold his lover. He needed to love him, oh Mehumi where was he

"Megumi....where"

The ghosts have left, leaving the lonely man more alone. He held his pillow, looking out the window. Why did Megumi leave? Why, why couldn't he love the man. He couldn't truly love him, so how could he now? They said he needed to love him. Oh but he couldn't

"Maybe you just don't want to love him"

Oh, what horrible timing for them to come back.

"Go away"

"Megumi's waiting, hurry up"

Where was he supposed to go? The world was burning, his heart was burning and Megumi was already 6 feet under the ground

"He's waiting, hurry up before times up"

So now he has a deadline? Can't he just, not? He's tired, so so tired even though the thought of meeting his Queen made him happy

"Go away"

The voices lied, they always did. Megumi was dead, he's half accepted that his lover is gone. Sleeping for eternity. It seemed as though the voices have gone away, those monsters' voices that sounded like Megumi......did they though? What did Megumi sound like, he doesnt know. He doesnt know anything, is he forgetting about his beloved? His blessing he killed?

"Sir, there's been 2 new wildfires in the past wee-"

"Don't care. Let everything burn"

_________

Burn. Everything should just burn. The fire, so warm, so welcoming. It reminded him of Megumi. His love was warm, he'd hug the fire if it meant meeting his love once again. The ghosts had told him he was waiting, where was his Queen waiting? What must he do to see him? He doesn't know, he doesn't know anything

"Sir. The fires coming to the castle we must-"

"Be ready to die now. Just wait for it to reach you"

The king had no mercy, everyone knew, the king will let everyone in his castle die. Why? Because his love is here, inside that fire he will meet his lover. He is certain, he shall hug the fire, embrace it with open arms. There, he shall find Megumi sitting there, waiting for him as the ghosts said

"B-but sir! You...c-cant-"

"I can do whatever I like. Wait for the fire to reach you or run from it. You can't run away from it"

There is a fire outside his castle, in his kingdom, no one in the towns remains. Everyone has been burned alive or has run away from the fire that is his love. The king shall not run away, the king will run inside the fire, he shall get burned alive for all the sins he's committed. He's killed. He's killed thousands. Thousands of lives were killed by the fire that spread the kingdom. He's killed those few that loved him. He's killed his queen. Now, this is his punishment

"Sir don't! You'll burn!"

He does not listen, he takes a step into the fire and he is warm. To warm, everything is warm. The clothes he was wearing burned to nothing but crisp. He closed his eyes, breathing in the smell of the fire. His nose burned and his skin started to peel off, like a snake. He walked into the fire, letting his legs guide him. He was in the house of fire. It burned, burned all the skin off him.

"THE KING IS DEAD!!! RUN, THE FIRE WILL COME!"

The king is dead. Sukuna Ryoumen is dead.

He expects to see Megumi. Instead, he sees nothing but a sea of white. Everywhere he looks is covered in white, it blinds his eyes so he covers them, waiting for something to come out

Nothing does

He is alone

Megumi is not waiting. No one is there
He is alone now
Sitting there
No one
No one is there

"Hello?"

"Goodbye, Sukuna Ryoumen"

Megumi. He is there, but where? He can't find him, where is his queen and why is he saying goodbye

"Megumi? Megumi come on lets go"

There is no answer, he is left alone. This is the afterlife, nothing but an endless white. Alone, with nothing else. No one, no one at all.

"They said you were waiting!"

Again, nothing hears him

"Come on, stop hiding. It's not a funny joke"

_________

This is the afterlife. This is hell, his Megumi is in heaven while he is in hell. He is meant to be alone for all eternity, with no one to hold and no one to love.
