"You have five seconds to get off me before I break your jaw," Sukuna warned in a low tone, his blush still evident.

Flustered by the situation, you quickly complied, sitting up and staring down at the floor.

Seeing Sukuna in such a vulnerable state was an unexpected sight, and you couldn't help but find it almost cute. However, Sukuna was anything but pleased; he was fuming.

He couldn't believe how his heart had skipped a beat. Sukuna was accustomed to being in control, never flustered by women, and certainly never experiencing his heart racing like that.

The whole situation felt insufferable, especially considering his usual dominance. To be in a position of vulnerability, topped by none other than you, was bewildering to him.

Glancing up at Sukuna, you noticed his red ears and cheeks. He covered his face with his hand, deep in thought as if trying to calm his racing heart.

You almost squeaked when Sukuna shot daggers at you, prompting you to avert your eyes back to the ground.

"I'm sorry if I...startled you?" you murmured, uncertain if that was the right term.

"You didn't fucking startle me," Sukuna snapped, teeth gritted. "It's just unbearably hot in here. Don't you have an air conditioner?" he yelled, before rising from the floor.

"We do..." you replied quietly, perplexed because the air conditioner was set to the highest level, and it shouldn't have been as warm as Sukuna claimed.

"Please don't leave," you sighed, sensing Sukuna's imminent departure. Your intuition proved right, as he was already making his way to the exit.

"You promised you wouldn't leave," you asserted, raising your voice as you approached him.

"Don't be a fucking baby, y/n," Sukuna shot back.

"I'm not!" you retorted.

Sukuna halted in his steps. "I'll stay under one condition. You go to sleep."

"Fine! I was about to anyway! We've got school tomorrow," you sighed. "But... can we watch a movie? I'll fall asleep faster that way."

Sukuna mentally rolled his eyes. Why couldn't you just go to bed like a normal human being? You were so...

Without uttering another word, Sukuna brushed past you and returned to the living room. He grabbed the remote, turned on the large TV, and you silently followed suit, sitting down on the couch. The atmosphere was now tinged with awkwardness after the recent exchange.

Sukuna scrolled through Netflix before settling on a random horror movie. After all, horror movies were his go-to choice, the only genre that seemed to resonate with him.

You bit your lower lip, wrapping yourself in a blanket, slightly worried about Sukuna's choice in movies. You hated horror movies and there was only one reason for that.

Sukuna positioned himself as far away from you as possible on the couch, engrossed in his phone.

Trying to find a silver lining, you acknowledged at least having someone else in the house, even if it was Sukuna.

Abruptly, Sukuna stood up and excused himself to the bathroom. It struck you as odd, especially since he had already been there after doing the dishes. His hurried departure suggested some underlying frustration.

Deciding not to dwell on it, you moved closer to the spot where Sukuna had been seated. Your previous spot was farther from the TV, and it took quite a while before Sukuna returned.
