heian era sukuna and his pregnant wife
you and your husband were sitting outside the estate, overlooking the beautiful gardens that you always tended to so meticulously.
sure, there were gardeners, but you always insisted on having the garden to yourself (much to sukuna’s dismay, he would prefer it if you never left your bed chambers).
you were only a few weeks from giving birth, and with the date approaching quickly, preparations were being steadily made.
all of your needs and wants were met by your servants, and sukuna was more attentive than ever. you were carrying his heir, after all.
the sun was setting over the lush grounds. your husbands four arms were wrapped around you, keeping you trapped on his lap.
one of his massive hands splayed across your swollen belly, rubbing it gently through the fabric of your robes.
“the summer approaches.” he comments flatly, his voice a low rumble in his chest, vibrating against your back.
“mm.” you hum, nodding. what a lovely evening with your husband, wasn’t it?
however, pregnancy had taken a toll on many different parts of you, including your hunger. and you were now craving a snack.
he doesn’t say anything, but his hand stills on your stomach, and you know he’s listening.
“the baby is hungry.” you mutter.
you had been doing this for weeks.
“ryomen, can you please fetch ____? it’s for the baby.”
sukuna knew, of course, that you were using his child as no more than a pawn in your requests. it should’ve made him furious, but instead, it just filled him with a primal need to take care of you.
he would do anything for you, you just had to name it.
“and what would the baby like?” he asks, already carefully lifting you off of his lap.
“diced dragonfruit… and rice… and plantains.”
he paused as he was walking through the doorway into the estate, his broad back facing you.
“… anything else?” he asks, voice measured. you were lucky he loved you so much, the king of curses would never be ordered around like this otherwise.
“… and maybe a soft boiled egg.” you add sheepishly. he’s not facing you, but you can picture his reaction.
“quite an interesting craving the baby has tonight, hm?”
but he’s already heading inside to prepare your snack, of course.
