Our Love (Ryomen Sukuna x Reader)

Coward ~ Ch28

¤ (Y/n)'s Point Of View ¤

It was the next day, the day that I decided that I needed to tell Sukuna more about my heart condition. Despite him coming to confront me yesterday, we didn't actually talk much about the logistics of it all. Yesterday was more about him than me, him trying to figure out his own emotions and overcome his state of denial.

I couldn't really tell what Sukuna thought about it all, me dying specially. I wasn't sure how I wanted him to feel either. Maybe I wanted him to feel worried for me and if I didn't know any better, I'd say that he looked concerned- maybe even saddened. But that may be stretching it just a little. I had no proof to back any of those theories up but to me, the fact he didn't speak much to me yesterday after he sat down in silence as he tried to make sense of everything- or even the fact that he didn't strangle me when I teased him too much, was enough proof for me.

I owed him a proper explanation today and I was going to give him one because I knew he was too stubborn to ask me for one himself. So despite the fact that my heart was acting up terribly today, I made my way to our hill at the usual time with hudereds of versions of the same explanation on my mind. It took me longer than usual to get to the top of the hill and when I did get to the top, I fell into a bloody fit of coughs.

I kneeled pathetically at the top of the hill, coughing out heaps of blood into the grass infront of me with my hair draping over my face. I knew Sukuna was sitting just a few metres infront of me, I no longer needed to look up to feel his piercing gaze on me. As I coughed, my head swayed, dizziness taking over me from the lack of blood. I couldn't help but look up at Sukuna, hoping that he wasn't watching such an embarrassing sight.

And not to my suprise, he was watching. But his gaze wasn't one that I was familiar with seeing on his face, his brows down turned as he watch me. He almost looked worried- but that couldn't be right. Could it? This was Sukuna. I forced myself to smile through the pain, to look up at him as I wiped the excess blood off of my lips.

"Don't worry about me." I consolded gently before coughing the remaining blood out of my throat. Sukuna scoffled at my words, seeming offended.
"I wasn't." The man snapped as he turned away, almost as if he were caught red handed which made me chuckle as I rolled onto the grass with a wheeze so that I was laying down on my back. The world was moving too much to be sitting up right now.

"Just- let me lay here for a while. I'll join you in a moment." I promised between gasps for a air, closing my eyes to stop the world from swaying side to side. I wasn't sure why it hurt so badly today. As I waited for the pain to stop, I couldn't help but focus on the sounds around me as it was one of the only few senses that wasn't causing me pain.

I could hear the way Sukuna sighed at the sight of me, probably finding me pathetic to look at it. The tutted his teeth in annoyance bufore grunbling something under his breath- something I couldn't quite catch from where I laid. Before I knew what was even happening, I heard Sukuna snap his fingers and it was that same moment that I felt the world move from under me only to be replaced again with a different patch of land.

My eyes open instantly after that, my pain long forgotten as I quickly shot up in a place that I did not lay down in. Now, I laid closer to Sukuna, sitting in my usual spot on the hill with red firey wisps flying around my form that almost tickled. My head turned to Sukuna in shock, noticing instantly that he refused to look at me, staring at the view as if nothing out of order ever happened.

"Wait...did you warp me closer to you?" I asked in pure confusion. If he really did, then that meant he was actually helping me. He knew that I didn't have the energy nor means to make it from point A to point B and he actually took matters into his own hands. His first act of true kindness. I was in shock.
"I don't know what you're talking about." The man denied gruffly, pretending as if he were clueless.
