Y/n was rummaging through her bag of sweets carefully considering each option before choosing.

"Do you want a taste Sukuna?" She held out a small brownie to me.

"Do I want a taste? Well yeah, but not of that brownie your offering me." A smirk spread itself on my lips, not that she could notice.

"I'll only offer that if you ask nicely." She had her own small smirk on her face, she would have looked more smug if she hadn't been blushing slightly.

"Hand me the fucking brownie." Some nerve being all cocky with me. I took off my mask right after sending her a small glare.

"Of course Sir." She removed her mask and took a bite of the brownie in her hand. Handing me the rest of it. Sir- I swear to fucking god.

She's trying to get the best of me- to one up me. Me of all people. Fuck no.

I didn't let my eyes leave hers as I lowered my head to her hand. Using my tongue to bring the brownie into my mouth. Beat that. I could see another wave of light blush flush her cheeks, she tried to quickly and subtlety turn away. Not that it worked, Funny.

It brought me back to when she was standing in that line, talking to the old lady. At first I was just watching her, deep in my own thoughts. But I noticed that hag look over at me then point, so I adjusted my gaze elsewhere.

When Y/n turned to look at me, I saw her face from the corner of my eye. She went from a calm, content look, to a face of slight disappointment. Disappointment.

She looked at me and was disappointed. She saw The King of Curses and was disappointed. That stung much more then I would like to admit, it felt personal.

It got me stuck in my head. How frustrated I've been, maybe a slight distance too. I've wondered what makes her feel so content working with me. Why she's so happy, I've been looking, scanning for any trace of disappointment. Nothing.

Instead all I could see was the way her eyes can't avoid mine. Or maybe how they light up ever so slightly when working. How she tries to beat me at my own game, only to get all blushy but never is she one to acknowledge it. Her E/C eyes shining brightly back full of emotions I don't understand.

Why can't I fucking understand you? Your another curse, surely it can't be this difficult.

All I've been thinking about is you, Y/n. I don't understand why. Or maybe it's that I don't want to admit it. Why would I? That would mean the King of Curses is vulnerable, weakened, caught up in emotion.

God fucking damnit.

What did she mean? A reason I can't see it yet?  Sukuna is just Sukuna, and she just some old bitch.

Sukuna is my boss, nothing more.

It's seems like recently I've been pushed by Sukuna. I didn't like it, I don't like it. But at the same time even I have to admit it, he's interesting..?
