Our Love (Ryomen Sukuna x Reader)

Mine ~ Ch42

¤ (Y/n)'s Point Of View ¤

The next week flew by rather quickly, each day being the same yet somehow so much better than the last. Unfortunately, I was still confined within my chambers within the palace. The amount of guards patrolling the castle has been increased multiple times by my father, in hopes that someone would catch me as I left the castle and therefore find out how I escaped.

My room was even searched a few times as my father was convinced that I had a secret door hidden. Still, nobody thought it was possible for me to climb out of my own window, greatly underestimating me. But despite all of these ups and downs, I still managed to meet Sukuna everyday. Now, our new position on the hill was more intimate, with my head on his lap which is in fact how we were positioned for the past hour today.

"Lady (Y/n)?!" A voice called out from down the hill, Toru searching the fields for me with a few guards behind him. I sighed at the call, dissapointed that I didn't get too much time with Sukuna today and would have to go back to the chamber of bordem that was my room.
"I guess it's time then." I told Sukuna with a disappointed frown, sitting up and perching myself on my knees as I looked over at Sukuna.

The man growled angrily as Toru continued to yell, his lips twitching as be became angrier and angrier.
"I'm getting sick of hearing that guy's voice." Sukuna snapped, glaring over at the silver spec that was Toru, seeming so far away from us as he plowed through the field due to how high the hill we sat on was. I giggled at his anger, almost sensing jealousy. But most of all, the fact that he didn't want me to leave.

"Toru is a good man." I defended with a chuckle as I adjusted my kimono which had slipped slightly to show my collarbone as I sat up. Sukuna was far too busy glaring to notice this.
"Good men scream the loudest when I set them aflame." Sukuna threatened lowly, making me gasp at the threat before nudging his arm with a frown.

"You can't hurt Toru." I frowned, making Sukuna turn to look at me with a raised brow, daring me to say that again.
"And why is that?" He asks me, squinting his eyes as he scrutinized me. I sighed once again and looked down at my lap, knowing that I'd have to come clean with my care for Toru. But I knew no matter how I view Toru, brother or not that Sukuna would only hate him more.

"I'm sure you've noticed by now that I try my best to keep two from crossing paths. And that's for the good of both of you." I explained, Sukuna huffing in response- catching me on my lie.
"No. It's so I don't kill him." Sukuna muttered, making me chuckle die to how quickly he figured that out. It was true that the only reason they couldn't meet was to save Toru's life. I was not worried about Sukuna, he is capable of taking care of himself.

"Well, yes...that too." I admitted, looking up at Sukuna with doe eyes in hopes he would just let me go down the hill to meet Toru without asking the question that I knew he wanted to ask.
"I thought you were well accustomed to death, are you not? What's so different about his?" Sukuna asked lowly, his eyes almsot glowing in the dark as he became more serious, asking the question I knew he would ask.

"Because he's been my protector for years..." I defended, watching Sukuna's eyes become narrow as he read in between the lines of my words.
"You care for him." Sukuna accused, seeming to already know the answer.
"I suppose I do." I replied with pursed lips, watching as his eyes flickered towards Toru. He stayed silent, making me frown slightly and crawl closer to him.

"But I care for you too Sukuna...more than I probably should." I told him, leaning in to give kim a chaste kiss on the lips. This time, the man didn't try to deepen it. He just watched as I turned away and began to stand to my feet. Though the moment I started to walk away, he called for my attention.
"Princess." He called out, making me swifty turn on my heel to him.
