The bond between Sukuna, Arika, Yuji, and Megumi grew deeper with each passing day. Their days were filled with laughter and play, but also moments of quiet understanding and shared secrets. They had become each other's sanctuary in a world that often felt uncertain.
One evening, Sukuna found himself lying awake, staring at the ceiling. He thought about Megumi, his shy smile, and the way his eyes lit up when he talked about his sister or the garden. Sukuna's heart ached with feelings he couldn't fully understand. All he knew was that Megumi had become incredibly important to him.
The next morning, he decided to talk to Arika. She sat on the porch swing, upside down , scratching her belly . the early morning sun casting a warm glow over the yard.
Looking at her , Sukuna's eye twitched but regaining his composure, "Aka-chan," Sukuna began hesitantly, "I think I have feelings for Megumi."
Arika felll from the swing from the sudden news , looked at him with wide eyes. "You mean... like, love?"
Sukuna nodded, his cheeks flushing. "Yeah, I think so."
Arika's expression softened. "That's so sweet, Suku. But have you told him?"
Sukuna shook his head. "No. I don't know how."
"Just be honest," Arika advised. "Megumi cares about you too, you know."
Encouraged by his sister's words, Sukuna decided to gather his courage. That afternoon, as they played in the backyard, he found his chance. Arika and Yuji had gone inside for snacks, leaving him alone with Megumi.
Sukuna took a deep breath and approached Megumi, who was busy playing with the puppies. "Megumi, can we talk for a minute?"
Megumi looked up, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "Sure, what's up?"
Sukuna felt his heart race. "I... I've been wanting to tell you something. It's kind of important."
Megumi's expression turned serious. "Okay."
"I... I really like you, Megumi," Sukuna blurted out, his cheeks burning. "Like, ...a lot."
For a moment, there was silence. Then, Megumi's cheeks flushed pink, and he looked down at the ground. "I... I like you too, Sukuna," he said softly.
Sukuna's heart soared. "Really?"
Megumi nodded, a shy smile spreading across his face. "Yeah. I was just too scared to say anything."
Sukuna felt a rush of relief and joy. "I'm glad," he said, reaching out to take Megumi's hand. "I promise I'll always be here for you."
*Arika and Yuji on the sidelines* giggling "~✨Ooooo~ , fancy words brotha'✨~"
Hearing them, a wave of embarasment crept over Sukuna's face" Y-you S-shut up OKAY!!"
"And what will you do,huh!? Hahahahaha"Arika laughed with a red Sukuna chasing behind her.
They spent the rest of the afternoon together, talking and sharing their feelings. It was a perfect day, filled with the promise of a bright future.
