SKIN & BONES / RYOMEN SUKUNA

27

———— before ————

Sukuna does things on impulse, because he can.

Because sometimes he just feels like it.

That doesn't mean it's because he isn't smart.

He could be very methodical.

He could plan,

He could calculate every single step,

And he can wait.

He just never needed to,

Until my fucking mother decided she liked being his enemy more.

She stood in our way.

For months, Sukuna had to play this stupid game.

For months, my mother refused to let him anywhere near me.

And it was bad enough that I, myself, had only solidified the boundary between us.

For months he would try to rebuild the bridge between us but I wouldn't cross it.

For months he must sit there and wait.

"For fuck sake's Ryomen!" Koboyashi gasp clutching his chest. "The hell is wrong with you man?!"

His heart pound so loud, pumping so much blood through those veins.

And wait.

It was the dead of night.

The same night as my courtship dinner.

Where he had escorted me and looked for his next prey, his next plan.

Sukuna made a decision,

A decision months before my kidnapping,

And wait.

He didn't give a shit how selfish that was,

In his eyes, he worked for it. He deserved it.

Nobody will love me like him.

Nobody will love me more than him.

And nobody will understand the lengths he would go,

For that love.
