Blood-stained (Yuuji & Sukuna x Reader)

Brave ~ Ch8

¤ (Y/n)'s Point Of View ¤

It was now morning, 5:57am to be exact. Yuuji and I agreed to wake up at 6:30am so that we could go to the hospital and visit his friends that were admitted there after the incident at their school. I woke up slightly earlier than I needed to, knowing that I always took just slight longer to get myself ready than he did. Not everybody could just throw on a hoodie and jeans after waking up and somehow look good.

I didn't need to worry about waking up Yuuji as I slid out of bed, knowing that that boy could sleep through a war. Yuuji can never be woken unless it was by shaking him or with a really really loud alarm. After sliding out of bed, I slipped out of Yuuji's grey shirt that I had worn to bed. I threw it over the lamp, now standing in my underwear in the bedroom. I smiled as I looked over at Yuuji, his lips slightly parted as he dreamt away.

I then began looking through his drawers, knowing I always kept spare clothes and my school uniform in my designated draw which was the middle one. I picked up a skirt, tights and shirt before turning back around. I made my way towards the foot of the bed, laying out my clothes with a yawn. It was when I finally looked up that I saw a pair of red eyes staring at me, saying nothing as they stared.

"Watching me as I change, Sukuna? Really? I know you're a curse and all, but that's low." I mumbled, rolling my eyes as I began rolling my tights in preparation to put them on. A mouth then appeared on Yuuji's cheek, scoffing in reply at my works. I then sat on the foot of the bed, continuing to put on my tights as if the curse wasn't undoubtedly staring at my back.

"And yet you continue to dress yourself, knowing I'm watching." Sukuna mused, speaking through the mouth on Yuuji's cheek. I then turned my head back to face him with a raised brow.
"You're inhabiting my boyfriend. From now onwards, what he sees, you see. There's no point in hiding my body when you'll undoubtedly see it from within him anyway." I explained casually, before turning back to slip on the rest of my tights.

Sukuna then chuckled at my blunt comment, humming in acknowledgement at my way of thinking which was correct.
"You're brave." He mused, probably not even realising that he just gave me a compliment. I shrugged my shoulders at his words, continuing to dress myself and put on my black skirt.

"Maybe." I replied softly, pulling up my skirt until it sat confortably at my waist.
"You don't fear me then?" Sukuna asked, his voice showing a hint of amusement.
"Why should I? You're a curse." I replied, making him humm in realisation.
"Ah and if I remember correctly, curses are no enemies of the (L/n) clan." The king of curses mused, making me snap my head back towards him. I hadn't told Yuuji my true family name, so how did Sukuna know it?

"How did you know I'm from the (L/n) clan?" I asked him curiously, my stare trained on the set of red orbs that were opened below Yuuji's sleeping eyes.
"Other than the fact you used that retched cursed technique on me earlier? It was your eyes." Sukuna told me, making me let out a breath in realisation. This man was over a millennium old, of course he could tell us apart by our crimson eyes.

"You've encountered my clan before, then?" I asked him as I began buttoning up my white shirt, my eyes still on his.
"A few times. I've always had the most frustating time trying to kill those of your clan." He admitted, seeming to reminisce as he spoke to me, making me chuckle softly at the admittance.
"Well then, you'll be glad to know that I'm the last one left." I chuckled bitterly, pulling out my hair band so that my hair cascaded down my shouders.

"That makes my job easier then." He smirked, not making me feel threatened in the slightest. I only nodded in confirmation at his words.
"I guess it does." I replied casually. The man was about to say something else but before he could get a word out, my phone began ringing. I quickly answered it without checking the caller ID, not wanting to wake up Yuuji with the loudness of my ringtone.

"(Y/n), are you alright?" A familiar voice asked immedietly after I pressed the phone to my ear. I smiled at the voice, always feeling giddy when my adopted father broke through his hard emotionless facade and showed me how much he truly cared for me.
"Ken-chan." I smiled in relief, my mood lifting after hearing his voice.

"Yes, I'm alright. I texted you yesterday that I was okay. Didn't you get the message?" I asked him worriedly, going back to my chat to see if I maybe forgot to press the send button. But the moment I had opened our chat, I saw the he had indeed seen the message I sent him. So I pressed the phone back to my ear with furrowed brows.

"I did. But I was still worried. Spending the night with a boy that could lose control of the king of curses? That seemed quite irresponsible." He told me with a sigh, making me chuckle.
"Satoru filled you in then?" I asked him as I walked into the other room, escaping Sukuna's trained eyes.
"Briefly, yes. He sent me a few pictures of the boy too." Kento sighed, his voice suggesting that be was very fed up with his 'friend'.

"Well he hasn't lost control, in case you're wondering." I mused, leaning my back onto the closed living room door.
"That's good to know." Kento replied.
"It's funny. You spent 4 years without having to meet Yuuji. I guess now you'll have to, huh?" I chuckled out, making him sigh loudly in realisation.
"I suppose so. Though, I'm not looking forward to it." He grumbled, making me giggle.

"Oh, I know." I mused, leaning my head back agaisnt the door as I spoke.
"How is he taking his new situation?" Nanami asked curiously, making me hum in thought. Yuuji seemed fine to me, but like me, he has always been good at making his fear and sadness.
"Fairly okay. He's always been strong-minded. It's kind of scary to be honest." I admitted softly.

"I see. And how are you taking it?" The blonde then asked, earling a few seconds of pure silence from me as I though deeply about my answer.
"I feel...guilty." I admitted with a sigh.
"I know it's not my fault and Yuuji reassured me of that yesterday. All I did was try to keep him away from all this mess...but I wish I tried harder. Because now he's going to die and I don't know how to stop it." I told him shakily, my eyes glossing over as my true feeling came out of hiding.

"I don't know what to do...What do I do?" I asked him, my breath hitching as I asked. I could tell that Nanami was frowing at the other side of the phone, him never having been going with consoling words- or any words for that matter. But he tried his best. And what I needed was for him to try right now.
"You know I can't answer that, (Y/n). He mumbled to me with a sigh, making me let out a deep breath as I let my back slide down the wooden door untill I was sitting on the carpet.

"Everything's just so complicated now." I mumbled out, closing my eyes as I waited to hear some sort of advice from him. Anything. I would accept anything.
"You're a strong girl, (Y/n). You'll get through this." He told me softly. I nodded weakly even though I knew he couldn't see me. I couldn't bring myself to say anything else. The anxiety was getting to me and suddenly I was aware of every inch of fabric on my skin as I circled over my own thoughts. That's when I said,

"I'm not gonna let him die, Ken. I won't."
