The next day, you got ready for the shopping spree. Sukuna sprawled across your mattress, his lower body hidden beneath white sheets, lazily flipping through channels and half-watching a cartoon.

"Hey, babe," you called out, but he didn't move.
Humming happily, you climbed into bed, nudging him. "Come on, get dressed, we gotta go!" you teased, snickering. You nudged him playfully, and he scooted away from you, swatting your hands.

"Alright, alright," he grumbled, rolling out of bed to grab some clothes. "I'm getting up," he added, a blend of amusement and irritation in his voice.

As Sukuna finished dressing, you admired his strong frame and muscles. He was really attractive.

"Let's go," he called, grabbing his wallet and motioning at you with a grin. He picked up his keys and phone and patted his pocket to ensure he had them.

You hummed to yourself, following him to his car.

Sukuna made an effort to take to one of the very best shopping center, South Coast Plaza. The entirety of this part of Orange County was bustling with wealthy people. His arm linked with yours as you explored the high-end stores, your excitement infectious.

Your eyes widened at the magnificent shopping center, its flashy exterior and neatly lined stores promising the very best.

It was so amazing and luxurious. You couldn't help the big, stupid smile on your face. It felt like your cheeks were straining with the feeling, but you just felt giddy, like a child. You were having fun and loved being there. Your pink-haired boyfriend made it that much better, knowing he did all this to bring a genuine smile to your face.

You shrieked with delight, pulling him toward a dress store. As you skipped ahead, he trailed behind, grumbling softly but with an affectionate glint in his eye.

Two sales ladies recognized Sukuna and approached him for a picture. He glanced at you, clearly annoyed. You grinned and gave him two thumbs up. He sighed but agreed. The worker quickly snapped the photos and chatted with both of you.

One of the women, a tall brunette, recognized you and mentioned seeing you and Sukuna on social media. She asked how you were doing, offered discounts, and invited you to come back.
Sukuna scoffed and rolled his red-colored eyes at them, somewhat irritable, but you shook your head and urged him to follow. He complied, obediently.

"Yeah, sure," he shrugged, linking an arm around your neck and pulling you close. You wrapped your arm around his waist.

"Look at you, Mr. Famous," you teased, poking him playfully. He rolled his eyes, but you saw the hint of a smile.

"Don't even joke. With me, you're going to get recognized too," he retorted, glancing at your expression and smirking. "Be glad you're dating such a star, Buns," he added, draping an arm over your shoulder and giving a tight squeeze.

And sure enough, you two caught even more attention. People did a double-take as you both walked past, even children. Everyone was amazed at the big athletic star they couldn't keep their eyes off you both. You were only one of many at the crowded plaza mall, but the presence of the hot male player drew everyone's eyes like a flame.

Their eyes roamed everywhere and took everything in. It was kinda scary.

A security guard who was wandering about noticed, approached, and offered him a small, friendly wave. 'Sukuna.' He nodded and acknowledged the two of you casually, glancing at the pink-haired male with a big grin. "Yeah. Sup, dude."

The male raised a fist to bump, as a sign of acknowledgement to the player. And Sukuna didn't disappoint and reciprocated. The guard went back to patrolling around and nodded his head.
