You awoke to movement beside you, yawning quietly. And judging by the chill and lack of sunlight, it was still early morning.

Blinking the sleep from your eyes, you glanced to your side and noticed Sukuna's massive frame sitting on the edge of the bed.

His crimson eyes turned toward you, his intense stare making you hyperaware of the fact that both of you were still very much unclothed.

"Morning," you whispered, your voice soft and shy. Sukuna's eyes roamed your frame with a dark, lingering desire that sent a shiver through you.

"Morning," he replied, his voice rough and husky, a smirk playing on his lips as he savored your bashfulness.

In that moment, you noticed the morning wood he had going, unable to stop the blush from creeping up onto your cheeks.

He admired your exposed naked body, looking pleased with his earlier handiwork. "Enjoying the view?" you teased, your voice soft but playful.

Sukuna's wicked grin widened as he stood, his chiseled frame catching the dim light. "Careful, Princess," he rumbled, leaning closer. "You start teasing, and we'll be going for round two."

"No, no!" You waved him away, curling tight and pulling the comforter with you, "I'm too sore and too sleepy. Why are you up this early anyway, the sun isn't even out yet!"

"Work... gotta keep you safe, beautiful, nothing changes about that, no matter the circumstance," he cooly replied, reaching over and brushing stray hairs out of your face. "Go back to sleep it's 5:30 in the morning."

You felt a hint of disappointment and longing at his words, slightly upset there would be no cuddle time in the morning, but you understood he had to keep you safe, and so you decided you were content with resting.

"Hmm. Alright," You paused a little, "But can you stay with me for 10 more minutes... until I go back to sleep. I-it's cold, ya know..." You hid underneath the thick comforter, heat radiating from your cheeks at the audacity you had to ask him to stay in bed a while longer, especially for such selfish reasons.

"Yeah," he agreed, sliding back under the blanket.  A warm, welcome arm reached over, holding your lower abdomen and drawing you close. Your face met his sturdy, strong chest, and the warmth it emitted. You took in the moment— the intimacy of sharing such tenderness with the person you felt most connected with. His hand caressed your lower back. It made you feel safe and secure, which you enjoyed.

After a few minutes,  the calm rhythm of his heartbeat soothed you back to sleep. You closed your eyes and surrendered yourself to the security of his hold, sighing deeply. As you felt the dream world beginning to envelope you once again,  you swore you felt Sukuna's lips lightly press into yours, a quick, barely perceivable kiss.

You drifted off and eventually he moved you off him, carefully laying you back against the softness of the pillows. A soft smile of pure contentment tugged at your lips, making Sukuna feel an emotion he didn't normally experience in such intensity.
