Nobara dropped you off at home, and you made your way up to the apartment, entering with armfuls of shopping bags and humming to yourself. You noticed Sukuna's keys on the counter, his shoes scattered on the floor, his gym bag tossed to the side, and a hoodie carelessly draped over a kitchen island chair. You rolled your eyes in slight amusement at his messy nature, kicking off your shoes and placing them neatly near the entrance. You walked toward the bedroom, eager to show Sukuna your shopping haul and chat about your day.

After setting your purse on the counter, you headed to the bedroom to quickly put away your new clothes. You opened the door and found Sukuna shirtless, doing pushups. He stopped mid-motion, locking eyes with you. His whole body was covered in a sheen of sweat, glistening in the light. Your eyes traveled over his firm, cut muscles and the sweat sliding down his strong arms and toned body. His biceps bulged, veins pronounced under his taut, pale skin.

Sukuna arched a brow, smirking.

"Hi," you greeted shyly, giving him an awkward smile, not sure why you felt nervous suddenly. "I just got back from shopping and came to put my clothes away," you said, your voice trailing off. He wasn't saying or asking anything, just watching you with amusement. The smirk on his face grew smugger as you rambled on, trying to break the thickening tension.

He chuckled lightly and returned to his pushups. You decided to pretend you weren't blatantly ogling him, walking over to the closet and hanging the items.

The two of you fell back into a comfortable routine, quiet, domestic, and steady.

"Mmmm... New perfume?" he questioned after a minute, continuing his workout without pausing for a single moment. You nodded, amused by his keenness. You watched him train, not taking his eyes off you. Your lips curled upwards.

"Hm...it smells nice," he acknowledged after a moment. He sprang up without any sign of struggle and stood firmly on his feet, flexing his bulging pecs in the process.  His chest and abs tightened, his sweatpants hanging low on his waist, revealing his V-line. You'd never get over how attractive he was. He swiped his arm across his forehead, his chest rising and falling.

His muscles rippled as he rolled his neck, cracking his joints. A wave of desire flushed over your body as his fingers slipped into his pants pocket, adjusting himself subtly. The simple motion only turned you on even more. You licked your dry lips and smiled, grateful that his attention was now focused on his phone screen. He lifted an eyebrow, sighing softly as he looked up at the ceiling for a moment, lost in thought. You swallowed a lump in your throat, still stunned that the person who had always been there and was now your boyfriend was an NBA professional MVP and the league's highest-paid player.

"How are you feeling, baby? Did you miss me?" he asked in a gravelly tone, making your knees weak. Slipping his phone in his pocket, he walked up to you in a few paces, stopping inches away before encircling you in his arms.

"Ewww, Sukuna, you're all gross and sweaty..." you whined, turning your body away and wiggling out of his arms with a laugh. You tried pushing him away, but he pulled you close against him, trapping your smaller form in his muscular frame. His smirk deepened.

"Fiiiine..." you caved. "Yes, I missed you a whole lot, actually," you answered, closing your eyes and savoring the moment and closeness. You felt a gentle, barely-there kiss pressing onto your forehead. His quick affection caught you off guard, his usual soft and sweet behavior becoming more obvious. He hummed low and deep, a raspy chuckle escaping him. Your heart thumped wildly at his playful flirting. It was going to be a while before you got used to this and his extra soft and tender gestures.

"Just a little sore this morning... you didn't hold back," you said, pinching his side. "But I'm alright now."

He laughed and shifted his big hand down to pinch back, giving your ass a firm squeeze and caress, appreciating its plush roundness.
