recap: Sukuna's plans go amiss when the priestess he is planning to slaughter puts him in a simp-like trance
Sukuna was snapped back into reality when he suddenly heard you speak up, your voice wavering as you tried your best to smile up at him.
"H-Hello, Sir... Are you here to visit the church?"
You were so scared yet willing to talk to him; usually people would cowar just at the mere sight of him, but here you were, standing your ground without bowing to your feet.
And, Sir? Did you not know who you were talking to? The once cannibalistic man turned curse who was responsible for countless slaughter? The one who was given the title, "the disgraced one" purely because of all the evil he'd done?
Quite frankly, you had no idea who this man was. You kept to yourself most of the time, not interested in the chitchat that was going on in your community, so you never heard of the awful stories people had spread around about the man in front of you.
As the duty of a priestess, you had fully opened your heart to whatever walked through your doors, even if they looked a little different from you.
It took a while for Sukuna to respond- but his scowl slowly transformed into a look of mere disdain as he retreated his arms back to fold over his chest.
"I was merely passing by. I heard of a church that was recently established, but I see it's nothing too spectacular."
His words were harsh, but somehow, that actually eased you. At least he was willing to conversate. Instead of responding with the same energy, you continued to be patient.
"I see, well, the church is always open, feel free to have a look around inside, maybe your opinion could change!"
Sukuna cocked an eyebrow at your optimism. Were you dumb? Letting someone like him into the church? What would the other priestess' think?
He scoffed as he simply walked past you and entered the church, blinking in surprise when he saw it was empty—save for the decor and altar, but
Where were the other priestess'? Were you the only one here?
There wasn't much to explore around the church since it was relatively small and soon enough, you came back inside to see Sukuna staring intently at the altar, his face anything but amused.
Well, you couldn't please everyone.
As you tidied up around the seats and aisles, you could still feel Sukuna's eyes watching you like a hawk, though he pretended like he wasn't.
Sukuna, on the other hand, was having a battle in his mind about what to do next. All of his plans had practically been thwarted, and now he just can't seem to take his eyes off of you. Had he been cursed?
He'd never felt this way before; everything you did, even the smallest things, captivated him greatly. You moved so elegantly as you cleaned, and he couldn't deny that you were attractive.
Like a moth drawn to a flame, his eyes followed your figure as you walked over to place the flowers you planted into their respective pots.
As you picked up the pot, you sighed with frustration when you realized you had to place it back onto the high place it was before.
Sukuna had noticed your pout, and amusement flickered within him when he saw how cute you looked when stumped.
He blinked in surprise, though, when you turned to him with a small smile- What now?
"Will you help me lift the flowers up top? Your arms look like they can get the job done..~"
You were gentle as you asked this, and Sukuna couldn't help the jump in his heart as you spoke to him once more.
He tried to act indifferent to your request, responding to it with a scoff as he walked closer to you and grabbed the pot.
"Very well, little priestess, I'll lend a hand..~"
You responded wittily with a small giggle and watched as he pushed the pot up onto the high surface.
You pouted when you realized the pot wasn't quite where you wanted it to be, and you gave a sheepish smile to Sukuna, who raised an eyebrow at you.
"Could you move it a little to the left?"
He scoffed; he thought the placement was perfect, but it wasn't his church, so he obliged, moving the pot slightly to the left.
"Mm... actually, a little more to the right.."
You suddenly mumbled, and Sukunas eye twitched at your indecisiveness. Nevertheless, he still moved the pot to the right.
"Actually, a little more back to the left-"
Sukuna suddenly groaned with annoyance and pushed at the pot. He expected you to get scared of his sudden outburst, but to his surprise, you wore a happy smile as you clasped your hands together.
"That's perfect, thank you so much!"
He was nearly at his limit- maybe he should slaughter you-
Those quick, murderous thoughts soon came to a halt when you suddenly raised your hand and smiled up at him. You were trying to give him a high five, and he scoffed at the mere idea. Though he found it absolutely adorable, he couldn't indulge in this... feeling.
He crossed his arms and simply looked off. You didn't mind the rejection, though and you gasped when you checked the time displayed on the clock above the altar.
"I'll be heading back home now, it was nice meeting you! Feel free to visit anytime!"
The pink haired man glanced back in your direction and simply gave a nod, a small smirk on his face as he decided to tease you.
"We'll see, little priestess~"
You hummed with a smile and a nod before rushing out of the church, leaving Sukuna dumbfounded when he realized he had a fond smile on his face. Just what the fuck was happening to him?
Though he couldn't figure out his emotions, one thing was certain.
He'd most definitely be back tomorrow.
