To My Master I Obliged

Falling behind

"Does anyone have an update on Sukuna?" I held my head in my hands. Feeling my breath on my forearms.

Four hours.

It had been four hours since we agreed to start this whole plan for the banquet he wanted done by the end of the week.

"He's still locked in his office Y/n.." the servant's voice trailed off. Nervous of having to repeat the same excuse I've been hearing for hours.

Pathetic.

"That's it." I abruptly stood up from my chair slamming some documents onto the table.

"Y/n we could try again-" They tried to calm me down keep me sitting in my chair. 

"I dont have time for him to lock his ass away. For fuck sake he's a King, he cant just have the luxury with no work."

I might have overreacted. Sukuna avoiding things wasn't completely new. Maybe it was the fact he had given me his word.

I can't believe this.

It was a short walk, I was angry, hungry, and even tempted to kill anyone in substitute for Sukuna. The servants around me could see it too, following a little ways behind me.

"Sukuna!" I shook the door knob, and when that didn't grant me the response I wanted, I banged my hand against the wooden door. But there was nothing.

Nothing?

Are you fucking serious?

"I order all of you to get out of my sight." The small group of servants that coward behind me immediately dispersed. The hall now completely abandoned.

I brought my pointer finger to my mouth and nicked it. The smallest drop of blood trickling out.

"Here we go. Bloodwork." My blood took shape of a pin, letting out a small cough. I moved and flickered it around till that satisfactory click came into play.

I undid my technique and opened the door. Inside was a horrible mess. Sukuna sitting in the center, surrounded by books, papers, just a lot of things. His head rested in his arms peacefully.

He was sleeping the whole time.

The familiar feeling of a quick sharp pain in my chest caused me to lose balance and start a coughing fit. Reaching onto the wall for support as I clenched at my chest.

"Y/n?" Sukuna's head shot up in an instant. Blinking rapidly to gain focus on the room, his tone was alert. You couldn't even tell he had just been peacefully sleeping.

"Sukuna, listen to me for just-" Still holding onto the wall for balance I tried quickly fixing myself up.

"Do you need to sit down?" He started walking over to me, carefully navigating through the mess of books.

"I'm fine. What's important is that you've been blowing me off for hours now." I crossed my arms, studying him. His movements.

"Hours ago- What time is it? When did I fall asleep?" He furrowed his eye brows, rubbing his eyes a bit to be come more awake.

"Sukuna is damn right near 3pm. I thought you were blowing it off- I was actually getting really pissed."

"Shit, well I wasn't avoiding anything on purpose." I let out a frustrated sigh at his words, barely starting to see how tired he looked.

"Oh well I see that now. What's with all the books?" I let out a light laugh. All the anger and annoyance from before had dissolved.

"It's nothing. Don't go against my orders again. I don't care how small the energy your using is you-"
