《Chapter 31 - What Are We?》
×÷×+××÷×+××÷×+××÷×+××÷×+×

《Y/n's POV》
"I'm sorry?" I ask confused. Sukuna says determinedly "I want this, what we are doing right now".

I look at his hands in mine and say uncomfortably "I literally tried to stab you last night".

He blurts "Y-Yeah! No, I know! But I was thinking about something that someone told me and I think... I think it might be true".

He let's my hands go when he finally notices my insecurity, I pat his chest and say "That's sweet. But Sukuna, I don't think you even know what you are talking about-".

Sukuna says calmly "Look, I know it's all shocking, but maybe we could try?"

I shake my head and say slowly "No... You kind of ruined my life, we can just remain whatever we are now I guess..."

Sukuna says flatly "I don't even know what we are".

I back away from him awkwardly, Liam shouts across the field "Y/n! Can you help me with the garden?"

×××

I walk over to the garden with Sukuna behind.

Liam says depressingly "Oh... Sukuna is here". I ask trying to change the subject "What did you need help with?"

Liam replies "Well we have plenty of berries ripe enough to pick, I brought us baskets".

I get on my knees in the dirt and start picking with Liam. Sukuna stands in his kimono and asks "Why do you dirty yourself? You're my wife".

I say blankly "Someone has to pick the berries, also why are you still massive?"

Sukuna smirks and says "I'm comfortable this way", Liam snaps "Really? Cuz it looks like you are always looking down at us".

Sukuna scoffs and starts picking berries with us.

×××

After half an hour we are finished, we head towards the cottage.

I stop and scoop up a handful of berries in my hand, Sukuna halts and turns around to me wondering why I froze in my tracks.

I ask curiously "Do you still have a mouth on your stomach?"

Sukuna replies confused "Yeah, why?" I ask embarrassedly "Does it work like a normal mouth?"

He smirks and rests his hands on his hips, he opens the hem of his kimono revealing the mouth that was hidden and says "Go on".

I chuck the blueberries in his mouth and burst into laughter from the awkward situation.

Sukuna asks amused "Why are you laughing?" I say "Sorry this is so awkward! I was just curious".

Sukuna takes my chin and sticks a blueberry into my mouth.

He asks once more "What are we? You play with me, then you hate me and for some reason I do the same for you".

I eat the berry and say "I don't know... I don't- I don't want to talk about it", I hold my arm trying to make it clear I'm uneasy.

《Sukuna's POV》
I growl and hold my head, I snap "What are you doing to me! I am supposed to hate you! I am supposed to torture you!"

I continue, letting my head go, "Just answer my question, what are we? Because all of this is confusing me, I'm not sure whether I am supposed to hate you, pin you to a wall... What?"

I say, poking my finger into her collarbone "Yet for some reason, one question from someone fucks me over in one day!"

Y/n says "Maybe you need space..."

I blurt "N-No! I don't, I hate being away from you. You amuse me, you entertain me, you make me excited whenever you are around!"

I swallow down hard and force the words out that was hidden deep down "You being my wife isn't enough!"

I freeze in place, my eyes wide and a crimson color burning in my cheeks.

It's like the world has stopped and stuck in slow-mo.

I don't see Ophelia anymore... I see Y/n L/n...

Her shimmering e/c eyes reflecting confusion, her h/c hair caught in the wind and her hand on her chest.

The sunlight returns from behind the clouds, the dandelions in the grass around us tilting slightly to the gentle breeze.

Y/n's face breaks into guilt, she rests a hand on my shoulder before walking past.

I feel my heart squeeze in fear and worry, I turn around and watch her walk towards the cottage silently.

I mutter "Y/n...?" She doesn't reply being too far away from me already.

The clouds start to grey over and the sun disappears once more, the field growing dark as rain starts to fall gently.

My arms drop to my sides loosely, my clothes slowly grow damp.

×××

I step onto the cottage deck and notice a pair of shoes in my vision.

I look up slightly to see Liam, he says lowly in disgust "You tried to confess".

I say in a frustrated tone "Shut up..."

Liam laughs and says "You actually thought she would accept you? Well, you proved me wrong, apparently you can feel love".

Liam continues, crossing his arms, "Why couldn't you feel love for me, or Ophelia, or anyone else you used?"

I grab Liam's collar and shove him aside. I open the cottage and drag rain water inside with me.

I look around and find Y/n missing. I gulp nervously and start checking every room, Liam snaps "What are you doing now?"

I yell "She's fucking missing!"

Liam blurts worriedly "Wait what? She was just in here-".

I grab him by the shirt and lift him up with a growl "Where is she you cursed son of a bitch!"

Liam replies truthfully "I don't know!"

I drop him and say "You are going to help me find her whether you like it or not!"

I throw open the door to find
Y/n's foot prints in the mud, I've been so focused on my emotions I never noticed them before.

I stride out back into the rain and towards my car in the driveway.

Liam shouts "Where are you going?" I ignore him and open my car getting into the driver's seat.

If she is going anywhere, it has to be her parents house.
