From the palms of his hands, Sukuna makes the fire bigger as you and Yuji sit beside it. After saving him, you took him back to the cave you and Yuji found. It was still cold outside, but that didn't matter anymore as Sukuna can keep you and Yuji warm. After that whole fight happened, there was a talk needed. As Sukuna said, he wanted to talk about what happened to Tenshi and you wanted to talk to see if 'Goo Sukuna' were some of Sukuna's deep thoughts.


He knows you didn't blame him right? You never thought he would feel some responsibility for what happened, were you so wrapped up in your hurt that you didn't notice this? Sukuna has one of his arms wrapped securely around you and pulls you tight to his waist. Yuji looks awkward sitting on the other side of the fire.


"Well uh I'll keep a lookout while you two discuss whatever it is," Yuji said, standing to his feet. He did not need to hear whatever discussion you two will have as it's private. Now he likes to hear a little drama here and then, but this is beyond drama. "Yuji don't go too-"


"I'm not going far, just going to be at the entrance of the cave," Yuji interrupts you, walking to the entrance. You watch as Yuji sits at the entrance, plopping right down in the middle and looking out for enemies. Looking up at Sukuna, he also glances down at you, his lips pressed into a thin line. Where to start?


"Can I just say it was really stupid of you to not let me go while you were getting attacked?" Sukuna asked, frowning a little.


"You saw that?" You asked, surprised. So he was really there subconsciously the whole time, you were only going on a whim he was. "How much did you see?" He grimaced as he turned his gaze to the fire. "Enough, I thought I was fighting the sorcerers that killed my brother, but it turned out I was fighting you. My mind kept going in and out of that dream and reality, but I was there when you were telling me it wasn't my fault."


"Is that...you know I would never blame you for that, right?" You asked, holding his hand with both of your hands. "I know you wore yourself out trying to find me during those two days. I know you did everything to get to me." You honestly didn't know what to say to him, because it is not his fault. You move to sit on his thigh and cup his face to make him look at you.


"Sukuna, what can I say to make you trust me when I say, I do not blame you," You said, serious and yet desperate. He frowns and shakes his head no. "I don't think there is anything you can say, sweetheart," he said, sighing. He runs his fingers through your hair and your shoulders slump in defeat.


"Well sorry to say I'm a little disappointed Sukuna, because if I blamed you for that assault then I sure as hell wouldn't risk my life by being burned, stabbed, slashed, have my foot cut up going down the ice slope, listen to that gooey version of you saying I'm weak and all that to get you back," You listed off all the dangers and pain you went through. Before he could say anything you grip his hand with a serious gaze. "I love you so much Sukuna."
