“Right place right time” Sukuna x Cinderella
=== ======================================== ===
The next morning was quite eventful for Cinderella. She barely finished preparing breakfast for her stepfamily when a messenger arrived at the residence's door. They swapped pleasantries, and the messenger hastley cut to the chase. . "A murder has taken place at the palace and the guard is looking for the culprit. The people of the kingdom are advised to stay vigilant. Anyone who provides useful information will be rewarded handsomely. Furthermore the prince has sent out envoys to search for the woman he had chosen to wed." With that the man bowed down elegantly and sat down on his horse to continue his work. "Murder." the girl thought to herself, putting her hand on her mouth to hide her shock.
-So the prince has decided on a bride.-a voice echoed from the staircase.
A tall elegant figure lurked on top of the stairs. Seems Lady Tremain has just gotten out of her room.
-Have you heard the whole message?-the blonde questioned.
-I did. Don't bother relating it to Drizella and Anastasia, I'll tell them myself.-she said as she turned back towards the bedrooms.-You should make sure everything is in top condition once the envoys arrive.
Dejected Cinderella went back to cleaning the residence. While continuing her duties she thought back to the night of the ball. “To think that something so tragic could happen within the castle's walls.” A cold shiver went down her back. Soon a group of mice have taken her out of her thoughts. The critters exasperated beckoned her to return to her tower. Confuzed, the girl followed them. When she was half way there she started to hear a commotion coming from her room. Once they reached the door the girl peered in to assess the situation. Within the room Anastasia was digging through all of Cinderella's belongings.
-W-what are you doing?-Cinderella broke out.
Anastazia let out a short shrill scream and turned to Cinderella while covering her mouth. Mad, she dug herself out from the mound she was sitting in.
-Where is it?-she looked at the girl accusatorly.- Give me the glass slipper.
Cinderlella shot a confused look on Anastasia's stretched out hand. The redhead motioned with it toward her expecting to be handed something.
-I know you were at the ball, now give me the glass slipper.
-Are you sure you’re not mistaken? I mean, why would I go in that ripped up dress of mine?
Enraged, Anastasia strut closer to Cinderella. She grabbed the girl and looked through the pockets in her dress. There it was, a translucent glass shoe. She stared at it as if in a trance.
-Let me go!-Cinderella squirmed.
Anastasia shifted her focus onto the girl pushing her deeper inside the room. Cinderella promptly toppled over the various items scattered across the place. She tried to give chase, but she was moments behind her step sister as she locked the door shut. A bang at the door that could have been heard from downstairs has started to rumble.
-Quiet down will ya!-Anastasia berated the blonde.
-You won’t fit into the shoe anyways!-the girl snapped back.
-HA! Luck has it that I binded my feet in a way that they would. You should start getting comfortable here, cos no one’s getting you out of here.
A chilling laugh bellowed through the staircase as Cinderella stood leaning on the door of her room.
-what now?- a remorseful whisper escaped her lips.
It all seems hopeless. Is she truly destined to die locked away here while her abusers live their life out in the palace? It was all too much for the girl. A string of sorrowful tears went down her face. Her little rodent companions fruitlessly trying to console her.
Then, the girl has been alerted by a sudden sound by the window. A familiar figure climbed up onto the windowsill. The curtains flapped in the breeze framing his silhouette, like wings would an angel. Ecstatic, Cinderella stumbled through the mess towards her savior. She embraced Sukuna in her arms and he hesitantly did the same. After a few seconds the blonde pulled away and a grim expression showed up on her face.
-What did you do in the palace?-she asked accusatorly.
The man waved his hands in confusion.
-Why? Did you just run off to kill an innocent man? Don’t you know you can get executed for this?
-No, Cinderella it’s not like that.
Sukuna sighed not knowing where to start.
-Look, I… I stole the suit I wore at the ball. But I guess the owner didn’t want to give it up that easily.
-So you decided to kill the guy?-she questioned in disbelievement.
-It's not like he gave me a choice. See I. I’d need to tell you a lot about me to make all of it make sense.
-Aren’t you locked in here tho? Shouldn't I help you escape?
-If you won’t tell me what’s going on now you’ll probably just avoid the subject. So just rip the bandaid off and tell me.
-Fine, but first tell me what happened here.
-You won’t let it go will you? Well fine, if you insist.
And so Cinderella relayed all that had happened up to this point. Once finished Sukuna, staying by his promise, told his beloved of his origin. How he’d been a merciless killer, how he did as he pleased until, and after, the day he stopped being human. Killing being almost the only way he knew how to resolve conflict. He told her about his lack of care for others and how meating her changed that. How he laught, and felt after meeting her. He knew there was a long road ahead for him, but she was the light that he needed to find a way towards the surface. It didn’t take long for his explanation to turn into a love confession. But he didn’t expect a kiss nor anything else from his beloved. To make it clear he ripped the locked door out of the wall for her. Just in time for the carriage from the palace to arrive. She could now go after her prince if she wished to.
