ULTRAVIOLENCE

"WE'RE SOUL MATES?"

Sukuna was left speechless. He wasn't sure what to make of this, he wanted to deny it. Call her a liar, a fraud. Yet he knew she spoke the truth, he felt it to. The undeniable attraction, the burning deep within his soul, the need to be in her presence. It felt as if she was made for him.

"Yes, we're soulmates..."

(Y/n) wasn't sure what to expect, if he would lash out and hurt her, run away or ignore the situation entirely. Yet she proved him wrong, he did the last thing she'd ever think he would do. He smiled at her.

Not some grin or smirk he usually gives her, something deceitful or clever. No he smiled at her, genuinely.

"I knew it"

(Y/n) was baffled to say the least. Her (e/c) hues widened in disbelief.

"You knew? How is that possible?"

The towering male took her in his strong well toned arms, his grip tightening on her small figure. He normally never affectionate but, he would be lying if he said he wasn't excited. Some old part of him, long thought dead an buried came to life. His centuries old heart skipping a beat at the thought of being with (y/n) forever. He pulled her in close, nuzzling the crook of her neck. Inhaling deeply, he greedily drank in her secent.

"I just knew"

(Y/n) was terrified at this thought, her entire life she never had a choice and now some fate or god decided she was gonna be soul mates with Sukuna? That was absurd.

Well, she would be lying if she didn't also feel the draw. The undeniable connection. But, thats not what mattered to (y/n). She was scared, scared for not being able to decide her own fate. Being tied to something she couldn't control.

She pulled away from Sukuna's grasp, the absence of his warmth making her slightly wince.

"You're not mad?"

Sukuna's grin slowly faded, but his eyes still held the same warmth.

"No... in fact i had hoped this day would come."

(Y/n) could not share the same sentiment, part of her truly wanted to play the role of the loving soulmate. Yet she knew where her loyalties laid, to herself.

"I'm not so sure... I don't even know anything about you."

They laid there together, (y/n) still painfully bare. The curse noticed her discomfort and gave her his long white Hatori.

"It doesn't mean you can't learn, you can ask me anything you wish little one."

She moved closer, placing her head upon his exposed chest. Toned and full, (y/n) felt herself begin to fluster.

"What was your childhood like?"

This certainly took Sukuna back, he hadn't thought of his human days in hundreds of years. Thinking back to these fleeting moments only brought back unresolved pain and anxiety. His body stiffened under her, this was a topic he never spoke of.
