King Of Curses | R. Sukuna x Y/n / Fem Reader

Chapter 9: Obsession

His absence carved deeper wounds, yet she stayed in silence where she seeks that the pain would fade. She clung to her past memories with him, as having him once was enough. The weight of her burdens became lighter when she accepted her fate to be separated from the King.

The lady didn't just like his cold eyes, but the warmth she felt when she looks into them. A safe place where her heart would roam, lost in the depths that felt like home.

Those crimson red eyes, staring at her coldly, she eventually wondered how lucky she was to be gazed upon by him.

"Sukuna, I once blew kisses to the moon for you, hoping that its warmth would somehow reach you, so you could feel my longing even when we are apart."

"Do you despise it when we are not together, sweetie?" Sukuna asked in a slightly softer tone. "Perhaps I do hate it."

"..Why must that be?" He gruffed.
"We cannot always be together, you see."

"Do you love me that much, dear?" He let out a soft chuckle, letting an arm embrace her shoulders, keeping her close. "How could I not?" She faced him, taking in his sharp features that showed calmness.

"You are breathtaking, and.. unexpected. I somehow cannot stop myself from loving you." The lady answered truthfully.

"You must offer your kisses to me, not to the moon, sweetheart." Sukuna whispers softly, burying the crook of his nose upon her soft cheek. She smiled, gently caressing his face with affection. "Understood,"

"..."

"Oh, darling," He sighed. "You are far too sweet for anyone to see. I simply can't stand the idea of anyone else being able to acknowledge your innocence.. They will ruin how loving and naive you are for me, sweetheart." Sukuna caressed her hair, adding gentle pats and strokes.

"I shall.. only be pure for you, Sukuna." She insisted, hoping to not alert him. "No. Why don't I.. strip away all that you know, all that you love," He mumbles darkly, "Until you have nothing but me."

"I love you, sweetheart. I know you do too, as much as I want to rip your heart out of that pretty body of yours."

"You will desire for me and only me. Do you understand, my sweet angel?" His voice grew stricter and more firm, hidden anger in his tone yet not raised. "Please, do not be angry, Sukuna. I apologize."

"..From now on, I will please you."

'After days of trying to forget how much I crave you, the snow began to chant your name as it fell against the dead birds seen by the window, and in that moment I realized I could never escape you, as you will always reside in my soul.'

'Without your merciless, dark voice, life has no other meaning. The moment I finally knew that it wasn't love, I couldn't accept it. I couldn't take the fact that it was all simply blind obsession.'

'Though the lady was never meant to develop attachment for the King, to find love in his twisted ways, she fell despite everything. The lady will not let Sukuna fade away from her life anymore.'

"..."

"For you, Sukuna, I will be small, naive, petite, and as innocent as a white bunny." She spoke to herself whilst admiring her own reflection in the shattered pieces of a mirror that broke in their past argument. The lady brushes her hair carefully, wearing soft make-up to enlighten her face.

She wore a casual but elegant dress that had a smooth fabric. As she walked in circles and thought about how she could entertain the King this morning. Her dress swayed with every move, evident to her excitement to see his approval.

"I shall meet the King." With both thin and pale hands, she lifted the hem of her dress to her knees as she walked up the stairs to arrive at the King's royal chambers.

She knocked, waiting a few seconds before entering. Sukuna was sat on the edge of the bed, his large frame overwhelming to gaze at. The two quickly met eyes, as she cleared her throat and bowed her upper body. "Did you have a nice rest, my King?"

Without a single response, Sukuna eyed her clothing thoroughly as if inspecting and observing her new look. He did not waste time and spoke, "You are dressed well today. Is there an occasion, dear?" Sukuna reached out one hand, feeling the texture of the dress' fabric.

"No," She placed a small smile on her face. "I simply wanted to please you today. I wish to entertain you and gain your recognition, my King." Gently pulling in to his warmth, she allowed her small form to be enveloped by him, letting his four arms embrace her with tender affection.

"You smell great, sweetheart." He breathed in her scent, filling her ears with body-tensing compliments and praises. Sukuna knew that the lady loved having his attention, to know that his full gaze were all at her. "..Thank you, Sukuna."

"Since you are wearing such a beautiful dress, my dear," He paused, leaving his seat and taking the lady's hand. "Shall we dance?" Sukuna offered, giving her a slight grin to urge her permission.

"Of.. course, my King." She chuckled.

They danced elegantly to soft music, their ethereal movements, the tension in their warm and passionate gaze, the way his grip was firmly upon her slim waist, everything was a magnificent sight that one could watch for a thousand years.

"If I knew sooner that you could dance so beautifully, I would've purchased an entire stage play simply to watch you." Sukuna praised, his voice a low purr as he continued to dance with the lady to romantic music. "..You are too kind," She giggled, unable to take the compliment.

"You should wear these dresses more often, sweetheart. I'll buy lots of them for you whilst you rest and stay beautiful." He pressed his own forehead against hers, intently staring into her pretty eyes. "You are.. handsome, my King." She says.

"Am I, dear?" He chuckled deeply, letting the lady spin in a slow circle that matched the soft beat of the music. "Yes, you are." The lady rested the side of her face against his chest, "The most handsome man in the world." She whispered, her face flushed red in embarassment as she heard herself.

A small grin appeared on his face, reaching down to cup the lady's chin, forcing her to stare back into his eyes once more. "And you are the most beautiful woman in the world." He whispered. seductively.

"...!"
