To My Master I Obliged

Tension

•Y/n's Pov•

A few weeks had passed by. I had finally caught up with every bit of work that had been forgotten. Sukuna was just tormenting people down in the dungeons, then leaving for short periods of time. I was up fairly late a few nights ago and caught him coming back.

He reeked of whiskey. He even slightly stumbled which was surprising considering his extremely high tolerance to anything. Pain, drinks, drugs, etc. He didn't even acknowledge me just made his way to his room.

One knock, then two, and finally the door opened.

"Sukuna?" I peeped through the crack in the door. Not wanting to intrude or anything.

"Mmm?" I couldn't see him with the small crack of the door. But I could hear him so I assumed it was safe to enter.

"Where have you been?" I shut the door behind me. Seeing him laying on his back, one leg bend up and the other stretched out. His left arm over his eyes.

"Drinking."

"Are you feeling cooped up here?" I went and took a seat by his dresser. Normally getting an answer out of him was difficult on any occasion. But it was worth a shot wasn't it?

"Not necessarily. I've been entertaining myself." He let out a breathy chuckle.

It was kinda peaceful, compared to what was the recent normal.

"You've seem angry recently that's all."

"People think they have a chance against me. It's annoying, that's all." I wasn't able to comment as he cut me off, talking some more about his "concerns."

"I have a reputation, and I'll be damned if I let anyone think they can fuck with it."

Is that really what he's been upset about? It wasn't even a direct threat they had to send a messenger.

"I don't even know how to feel about it either. She's just- she's something else. Gets on my nerves." I frozen right then and there. She? Since when has Sukuna been talking to anyone? He seemed to just be keeping to himself ignoring us all. Since when did a woman question Sukuna on anything more then the next time he's free?

"She? Have you found an interest in someone Sukuna?" He sat up and just gave me a 'are you serious' type of look.

It just- it doesn't make sense.

"I don't mean to overstep Sir, but it's definitely surprising. You just been keeping to yourself since we returned. I hadn't realized you were off talking to someone."

"I'm not. I've been completely alone recently. Minus the people I've been cutting up." He spoke so casually. Almost like if you said the right things you could get anything out of him.

But at the same time this effect was going to dissipate quickly.

"Why are you asking so many questions mmhm? You seemed more interested in this girl then I am." A cheeky- not cocky, smile appeared on his face. Sitting up, resting his elbow on his bend leg.

"Very funny Sukuna." I gave him a pleasant smile back, keeping up our light hearted mood.

It's been a bit since he's been calm enough to talk to like this after all.

"Why don't you go for it Sir? Plenty of people find you attractive." I followed his eyes as he stood up tall and walk over to me.

"Really now, what's the statistic of you being one of them?" He grabbed a cup of water from behind me looking me up and down for any reaction.
