I was cuddled next to Satoru on the couch in his house. He had just finished his football practice and asked me to come over, accepting his invitation. His parents welcomed me with open arms that day after he asked me out. They felt like the second home and family I never really had.

Prom wasn't until next month, so we happily enjoyed putting time and settled to know more about one another.

The TV was the only noise in the living room, his parents fast asleep in their room. The movie caught my attention as Satoru fell asleep once he lay on the couch. Running my fingers through his hair, did sleep overcome me too. Though every time, like always, Sukuna would summon himself when we knew each other in my slumber.

I was home a lot rather than being out unless Satoru was playing or i had dance after school. As his girlfriend, I needed to cheer him on, and I didn't like letting him down.

Satoru had shaken my body, waking me up. It was the middle of the night, and I looked to him as I sat up, feeling sweaty and confused. "What happened?" I ask and look around the room, seeing Satoru on his knees on the carpet and a worried look plastered on his face.

"Y/n you were having a nightmare... you were mumbling, and I had to wake you up. You alright, love?" He had woken up to you breathing hard and mumbling, getting off the couch and onto the carpet to give you space.

"Here, it's okay... does this happen a lot, Y/n?" Whipsering to me and moving the cup of water to my mouth as I drank from it, feeling dehydrated.

"Not this bad, it's the 1st. But I'm okay, there's nothing to worry about." I wash away the nerves and worries, "Excuse me, I'll be right back." I tell him as I leave to the bathroom.

I turn on the sink, splashing water on my face. The water wakes me up, I look to the mirror and see myself, knowing I lied to Satoru about it being my 1st time but turn to dry my face and leave. I walk into the living room and see Satoru sitting on the couch, head in his hands, and clearly exhausted. Guilt eating me, "Let's go to your room, we have school tomorrow.." I take his hand, and we go to his room, shutting the door, as we sleep again and hoping I wouldn't get another nightmare.

"Wake up lovers, get ready. Pancakes are waiting for you two." Satoru's mom announced as she opened the curtain, letting the sun through.

"Mom, leave us alone, 5 more minutes.." Satoru grumbled, pulling the sheets over us and hugging me for warmth. I woke up but slowly took in Satoru's position and pecked his forehead.

"Toru... we have to get ready, and I wanna eat your mom's pancakes." I mumble, removing the cover from our bodies, letting the sun shine at us again. Satoru groans and covers himself in the sheets. I laugh, leaving him as I go brush my teeth and dress out of my pj's to black baggy jeans and a crop top.

I leave and notice Satoru is still in bed

"Satoru get out of bed. You're gonna make us late!"

I did end up dragging Satoru, making sure he got ready and made him sit next to me, though still laying his head on my shoulder as I fed him before leaving to school.

We made it in time, walking together before separating and kissing each other goodbye.

I entered the locker room, dressing out to shorts and a t-shirt. I had dance in the morning as my 0 period. Wasn't the best thing, but I did love to dance, preferring it over cheer. I tried out, after some covncing from the others and got accepted into the group.

We practiced routines for an upcoming show we did twice a year. I put on some makeup and hygiene must products before dressing out to my normal clothes.

I waited for Satoru outside the lockers as break was next. He got out the lockers, greeting me and smiling as he took my hand and walked to our designated table.

"We have another away game Friday. Is dance gonna be there?" He asks, curiosity taking over.

"No, not this time. Cheer is, but I'm not a cheerleader. You know I'll be there after. I gotta support my bf." I assure him and hear footsteps as the others take their seats with us. "Hey, what are you 2 talking about?"

Emerly and Suguru sat to my right side as Satoru answered.

"Football game Friday. You're going to be there right Emerly?" He asked her as she nodded, Emerly was a cheerleader. No doubt she was going to be there.

Everyone else came by, and we talked about plans for Prom. I informed Satoru about my dress arriving in 2 weeks and asked about his suit.

The day had gone by, and I had arrived home. My actual home, not Satoru's. Before I could enter, a voice called out to me. Sukuna had called out my name, making me pause in my tracks. I raised an eyebrow at him and waited for him to continue.

"My mom wants to chat with your mom tomorrow. Give me her number." He said arrogantly and practically demanding the number.

I scoffed at his attitude, not realizing how dominating he was.

I mumbled a ' rude' while walking up to him. "Here." I showed him the number, and he took a picture of it before walking away, leaving me dumbfounded by his nonchalant composure. That's Sukuna for you.

I started hearing rumors ever since middle school about his father and him. In high school, it got even worse, finding out he was involved with a gang; he was the leader. I was shocked, and whenever I saw him, I remembered my mother's words to be careful and replay that day he went away. Satoru sometimes shows me gruesome and disgusting videos of his fights. Scowling at the cracks, blood, and the punches that I felt through the screen while reminiscing on our childhood.

Do you still remember our promise, Sukuna?

There's no point. What am I thinking? He's a long way from saving. Removing my eyes off his figure, I unlocked the door, entering the gloomy and lonesome home.

AN- I prob won't be updating this whole week, I've been somewhere sunday and I'll be somewhere this weekend. But Sunday, I think there will be an update. Enjoy this one, tyy!
