SIN EATER | Sukuna

N I N E

I WALK THE LINE

•••••

THE FOLLOWING WEEKS were strange for (y/n). Sukuna mostly kept his hands to himself, but every night they spent more and more time talking and sharing their feelings.

(Y/n) had never felt like this before, this level if connection with another person. It scared her to feel this at ease around someone who would lose no sleep if he accidentally killed her. Well, thats what (y/n) told herself anyways. She doubted that Sukuna felt the same, despite his words of affection.

Sukuna could tell that the sorcerer was opening up to him, slowly but surely. Every night they laid together, some nights were silent and others full of ruckus laughter. His heart felt light, something he had never felt before.

That night she laid with him, on a white cot that he had magically appeared days ago. When she questioned him, he had scoffed.

"What human? You think I can't control what happens in my domain, think again."

(Y/n) lightly laughed when she thought of his words. When she laid on his chest now, he ran his fingers through her hair, his nails scratching her scalp. (Y/n) was gobsmacked, she felt her mind muddle with pleasure. She felt like a hound being scratched silly behind the ear, and here she was lapping it all up.

Sukuna softly hummed as he played with her hair. Recently his heart had been playing tricks on him, he stared to feel less like a curse and more like a human, if that was at all possible. This also came with many side affects.

For instance Sukuna was racked with guilt that he had forced himself on (y/n), despite her clearly seeming aroused and "into it", that didn't mean it was consent. He never wanted to hurt her, she was his precious human. That was of course unless she asked him to, Sukuna wasn't against a little chocking and slapping.

Oh how far I have fallen

He hummed as he thought to himself, although he wouldn't have it any other way.

"Sukuna?"

He peered down at the sorcerer who ruled his world.

"Yes little one?"

He purred in amusement as a flush came over her face.

"I'm going on a mission, i'll be gone for a few days. I might not be able to talk to you at night because of the distance." I'll

Sukuna's brows frowned, he did not like the sound of that at all. She should stay here by his side, where she belonged.

As if she could sense his disapproval she quickly followed it up with, "don't worry ill be back in 2 days. We're actually lucky it took this long for them to assign me another mission. Usually they are back to back."

She softly laughs at this, music to Sukuna's ears, yet it only makes him frown more.

"I don't like that you will be away from me, bring the brat with you."

(Y/n) laughed even louder at this, "I couldn't bring Yuji with me even if i wanted to, its a special grade curse. He's not strong enough. I am bringing Maki though."

Sukuna proceeded to make a sound that sounded alot like a whine.

"I just- I don't like it."

"Feeling protective? Don't think i can take care of myself Suki?"

The curses eyebrow furrowed, "Suki? What is this new name human?"

"Its a nickname!" She replied happily, feeling like she accomplished some great feat.

"I do not understand. I already have a name."

She giggled into his broad tattooed chest, "its a term of affection, its something only I will call you. You can name one for me if you want."

Sukuna wrapped his arm around her waist and tangled there legs together. Taking in deep breaths of her addicting scent.

"You are strange little one, curses have no uses for such things. They are bellow us."

Her figure slumped in his arms, he could tell she was upset. Feeling dejected she sighed internally, "oh, I understand."

There was a moment of silence between them, where neither of them dared move.

"...How does (n/n) sound? I like Suki, as long as you're the one saying it."

A bright smile spread across (y/n) face, it made Sukuna's stomach do somersaults.  His heart slightly beating faster, making the curse sweat.

How can some be so perfect?

Part of Sukuna felt that perhaps (y/n) poisoned him or put a jujitsu on him, he could believe how hard he had fell for the sorcerer.

"(N/n) is cute, i like it."

Nuzzling in closer to the crook of his neck the girl felt relaxation take hold of her body. In no other instance in her life has she ever felt such ease. (Y/n) still has difficulties accepting him at her soulmate, but she feels that with each passing day they grow immeasurably closer.

A soft buzzing rang in the young women's ears, getting louder with each passing moment. She recognized it as her alarm clock.

"I think its time Suki, i'll be back soon. I promise."

He held her tight in his arms one for one last moment, "please be safe (n/n)."

> sukuna has never had someone call him a nick name before, because he has never had a friend

> sukuna denied being (y/n)'s friend because he doesn't think he deserves friends

> sukuna's favorite pass time is cuddling with (y/n) and scratching her head
