To My Master I Obliged

Warm Welcome

"Sir!" I was trying to shake Sukuna awake, not that it was working very well. But I figured he would get insulted and wake up just to glare at me.

"How many times do I have to repeat myself
Y/n don't call me Sir. Just Suk-"

"Sir! We're going to be late, remember?" I needed him to shut up quickly. The escort was coming over to open the door and the last thing he needed to hear was Sukuna.

"Don't tell me what to do I'm the King of Curses here." A small gasp was heard from outside the cart. Shit.

"For the love of god Sukuna! Take a hint." I started to get up, the last thing I need was for some idiot to go run around telling everybody of Sukuna and me.

I just got back after all; I don't want to be drowning in work.

"How was I supposed to know?" He finally was up and rubbing his eyes. No need for masking now, I guess.

"Move we can't let him start running." I managed to shift past him and open the door. There I saw the man had gotten a good 15 feet away from the cart.

Shit.

"Fuck- I- Jesus FUCK!" I started sprinting at him full speed. I would have caught up much faster with cursed energy but that wasn't much an option.

"You're not going anywhere." I grabbed him by the collar, pulling him back to look at me. A look of absolute fear on his face, a bead of sweat dripping by his brow. The previously dark navy uniform was now covered with dirt.

He has nothing special appearance wise, honestly I would be surprised if anyone actually would realize his absence.

"Sukuna, you caused this you kill it." I was dragging the man back as he tried to loosen my grip. Desperately grabbing at my hand, arm, anything to try and gain a chance to run again. Sukuna was simply standing outside our cart with a smirk. Eating my fucking cookies again.

"Gladly." He put down the now empty bag on the set of the cart, cracking his knuckles.

"Yeah, yeah whatever- Augh-!" There was the cold feeling of metal slicing my skin, deep crimson blood dripping onto the floor.

He fucking sliced my hand.

"You dumb fucking bastard." Before I could even take a step to turn around, Sukuna was already behind the man and with a swift hit to the neck the man was out cold.

"I thought you were going to kill him." I took a look at Sukuna before I was drawn back to my hand. The cut was deep and stung like hell. Lucky for me it is something I can manage healing in my powerless condition.

"If he wasn't going to be an idiot, Maybe I would have granted his that mercy."

"Interesting." I stretched my hand out as my wound healed itself. It felt nice not having to worry about small injuries again.

"Good to see that necklace does something." He started dragging the man by his arms while walking to the main road that leads back home.

"Yeah, it's neat, it's not much right now. But, you know, progress." A small smile came onto my lips. I genuinely missed the feeling of energy flowing from me. I lost it all with one mistake.

One dumb mistake.

•Sukuna's Pov•

I saw it on her face, that same old look that's seemed to become her normal. The look of being incomplete, worthless in a way. Y/n always blamed herself for that incident, an incident set up just for her. I recognized that too late, and still decided not to tell her.
