After completing the transaction, Sukuna navigated through the bustling mall and spotted you by the water fountain, nibbling on a Cinnabon. He sighed and made his way over. You looked up in surprise, offering him a bite with a warm smile.
"Want some?" you asked, your words muffled by the food.
Sukuna watched you silently, noting your nervousness. The light-hearted atmosphere began to shift as his eyes studied you intently. After a few moments, he plucked the treat from your hands, his expression turning more serious. You gaped at him, wide-eyed with surprise and embarrassment.
"I thought you were going to the restroom?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I got distracted," you mumbled, avoiding his gaze and twirling a strand of hair.
"Hm," he grunted, popping the rest of your treat into his mouth.
He grimaced as he chewed. "Thought it would taste better than dry ass bread," he shrugged, finishing it off. He tossed the package into the trash can and smiled at your pout.
"Awww-" you whined softly, "I said some, not all of it, Jerk!"
He wiped away crumbs from the corner of your mouth before pecking your lips."Oops. My bad." He snickered mischievously. You knew you would get revenge for this.
Settling into a more comfortable position by the fountain, you felt the weight of Sukuna's gaze on you. His smirk faded as he studied you, picking up on your underlying tension.
"So," he began, his voice softening, "what's really going on, Buns?" The laughter that had momentarily lightened your heart faded away, replaced by a sense of seriousness as you felt the weight of your concerns.
"What's going through your brain? You seem scared," he asked. "Or are you mad at me?" he murmured.
"No...it's just..." you trailed off and fell silent, unsure how to proceed. He could almost see your thoughts racing.
He looked at you seriously, a glint of concern in his eyes. Your heart clenched, and you gulped, feeling a knot of anxiety tighten in your stomach. Your palms were clammy, and you wondered if Sukuna could sense your turmoil.
You lowered your head and let out a huff, looking away.
"It's just weird! It's still not fully real, and all this happened so fast..." Your voice trailed off, the gravity of your feelings pulling your heartstrings.
"My body just reacted on its own. It's been a crazy couple of weeks... just you... and everything." You sighed, chewing on your inner cheek.
"Do you really think I'd look good in white?" you jested, trying to lighten the mood. You shifted your gaze to his, close enough to feel his breath. His pupils dilated, his ruby irises glowing with an intense stare.
You chuckled awkwardly, looking down, but Sukuna didn't budge. He held your chin, gently pulling you back to meet his gaze.
"Tch," he hissed under his breath.
"Why do you keep looking away from me?" he asked quietly, his expression impassive, masking his inner thoughts. He pulled you closer, tightening the distance.
"Well... Because my boyfriend makes me very shy," you choked, licking your dry lips, "I think it's because you are so good-looking and handsome."
It was such a corny reply. He froze for a moment, then breathed out, his eyes searching your expression. "What am I going to do with you..." His low baritone voice filled your ear drums, echoing inside.
Sukuna's mouth twisted into a sly smirk. His thumb slowly pressed up to meet your chin and caressed your lip, not missing the pretty flush upon your face.
