Sophomore year was a blur. Mom and Dad had started arguing, I didn't want to tell anyone so as not to burden them and went on every day as if nothing was happening.

Though, I had stumbled across Sukuna a lot more times than I would like.

I didn't forget our past, but that too was a blur, a fragmnet of my childhood, almost blocked out. Except for the dream of that day in kindergarten and our walk. He didn't live near me. From what i heard, he was 2 streets down from me, but we would brush past one another in the mornings. 

Dad had become more verbal and physical, but it wasn't with me or my mom, more at his job and objects around the house. I ignored the world around me. However, there was truly one person who noticed.

"Loser. Yeah, you." Sukuna said, almost in a hushed tone, but you could hear its dominance through the words. I confusingly looked at him, pausing in my tracks as he had the same emotionless face. "Take this."

Sukuna, the one and only, was giving me a candy bar. One of my favorites, too. He couldn't have possibly remembered from all this time that had passed, right?

"Thanks, I guess." I analyzed the bar before stuffing it in my pocket and walking in the direction of the bus stop. The reason I now took the bus was because of my Dad's new schedule at the office. It was suspicious how randomly it changed, and he was okay with it. He would've complained by now, but surprisingly, he hasn't.

I took a seat on the bench. The bus would arrive in 5 minutes, I made a note to wake up and  get out at the same time. Sukuna was headed in the opposite direction. Where to? I didn't care and obviously didn't put my mind on it.

Though, I met up with utahime at the bus stop and could hear footsteps and ragged breathing from a direction.

"Y/n, you're here already? If I had slept 2 more minutes, I definitely would've missed the bus.." She was drooping as she sat next to me, moving my backpack from its previous position to my lap.

"I would've missed it too, don't worry, school isn't meant for the non morning people. I mean, I could be in my bed, but I'm not." I sighed hopelessly and put my hand into my pocket, realizing the bar and taking it out.

"You want it? Someone handed me it, but I don't want it..." I said as I rubbed my neck and moved the bar towards her as I smiled weakly.

"I'll take it and eat it later. Thanks, Y/n." She smiled at me as we both got up to get on the bus. We sat next to each other, but I took notice of Sukuna in the back of the bus.

Hmm, weird.

One day, it was raining, and I had forgotten my umbrella and to check the weather app. I was already late, running towards the bus stop whilst the bus was already planning to leave me behind.

Inside the bus was Sukuna, glaring at the bus driver, ordering him to stop for me. Unbeknownst to me, when I got on the bus, the driver looked nervous while looking straight ahead, and I confusingly thanked him, finding a seat, shivering from the cold, finally hitting me.

Utahime wasn't going to school today. Lucky her. Fortunately, the bus waited, I thought in my head as I felt someone's eyes on me, looking around, but no one was. So I shrugged the feeling off and put in my earbuds while swiping on my phone.

I had gotten off and put on my hood, Satoru was waiting for me on the other side of the crosswalk, but Sukuna suddenly came and held an umbrella over me and him

I moved a little, thinking he didn't know the close contact between us and we walked almost together till Satoru met me half way and held his umbrella over me as we talked the whole way to campus. Making me forget about Sukuna, slowly did I realize something was off with Sukuna and Satoru.

"Sukuna, you got a problem with me or what?" Satoru yelled across the campus to Sukunas back, grasping everyone's attention.

I felt embarrassed and tried stopping Satoru, but he still did whatever he wanted.

Sukuna turned around making eye contact with me instead of Satoru. I  tensed up once our eyes met. I looked away and tried again, pushing and moving Satoru. But no budge, and Sukuna started walking our way with his group and then switched to making eye contact with Satoru.

Suguru and everyone else came, Everly rushing to my side while Sugure got in front of Satoru. "What the fuck are you doing Satoru? Don't push it with him." Suguru told Satoru, almost irrated.

Sukuna had made it face to face with the both of them. "We will have a problem. Don't start putting your nose into my business. Control your puppet, Y/n. This is a warning."

Sukuna threatened directly to me even though Satoru had started it. I sighed and told Satoru to leave. Sugure pulls him along while we leave, Everly trash talking in my ear, Satoru and Suguru arguing, whispers in my other ear and the stares. I felt overstimulated, so I rushed to the bathrooms, ignoring the calls of my name and shutting myself in a stall.

I recalled everything that had happened. What did he mean by control Satoru? I controlled my breathing and got out. Feeling exhausted but acted like everything was okay. Everly called out my name, and I went outside coming into her view. She held my hands in hers.

"Come on, can't have that guy in your head now, silly." She laughed, comforting me as we walked back to our group.

That day was unforgettable since it was the 1st threat I had gotten from Sukuna. Though it was more like, he had to. If he didn't have too he would be walking with you in the mornings instead of that white-haired moron, be by your side, a friend, and much more.

Yet, the contract between your father and his was in the way of it all. He wanted to tell you, so you weren't oblivious to it all, and why he had transferred back after 2 years, why had had to disappear, why he had changed completely.

Would you see him differently if you knew what he was involved in? Or would you accept that side and support him without hesitation.
