Masterlist
Where reader finds herself trapped in loveless marriage with toji fushiguro who is still grieving for his late wife and that's when she meets her step-son's best friend's uncle Ryomen Sukuna.
Part 16
Clearing your throat, you took small, quiet steps into the house. Ahead of you, Shoko and Suguru were already making their way upstairs. Both of them carried massive, knowing grins on their faces, and you couldn't help but feel annoyed at the nerve Shoko had to call this a "casual fling" earlier.
"Don't you two fucking dare to fuck on my bed!" Sukuna’s voice suddenly boomed through the hallway, making you chuckle softly. Suguru simply waved a dismissive hand over his shoulder, already disappearing into the upper floor without looking back.
You glanced around the living room, noticing Kenjaku sitting alone on the couch, lost in thought and quietly smoking. Meanwhile, Sukuna and Choso were still deep in conversation near the kitchen. Feeling a bit out of place, you awkwardly drifted toward the kitchen counter. Choso noticed your approach first. Despite the lingering trace of annoyance etched onto his features from their conversation, his expression softened, and he offered you a small smile.
"Hey. Wassup?" Choso asked gently.
The warmth in his tone brought a genuine smile to your lips. "I'm doing fine, thank you. What about you? Where is Yuki by the way? I haven't seen her around." You tilted your head, looking around the immediate area for the familiar, vibrant blonde.
At the mention of her name, Choso rolled his eyes with a heavy sigh, while Sukuna let out a low, rough grunt the closest thing to a laugh you were ever likely to get out of him.
"Mhm? Is everything alright?" you asked, leaning casually against the opposite side of the counter, placing yourself directly across from the two men.
"Poor Choso here might be getting dumped by his girlfriend" Sukuna said, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke into the air.
Your eyes widened slightly in surprise. Wow. You had always looked at the two of them as the ideal couple, completely and utterly head over heels for each other. It was a stark reminder not to believe everything you saw from the outside.
"Why? What happened?" you asked quickly, looking between them.
"Well... she wanted to get married. And I just told her I needed more time" Choso murmured, rubbing the back of his neck. A part of you instantly sympathized, thinking that maybe Yuki was rushing things a bit. She could just wait, couldn't she?
"Wait until what? Until you’re an old, ugly as fuck grandpa who can barely clean his own shit?" Sukuna shot back, his expression genuinely annoyed. The sheer bluntness of his words made you want to laugh, but seeing how dead-serious the atmosphere was, you bit your inner cheek and kept a straight face.
"Man, fuck off" Choso snapped, grabbing a glass of beer and throwing it back in one long, desperate gulp. "If you were in my shoes, what would you have done? You’ll probably never even get married."
"Touche. I’d never get married," Sukuna countered smoothly, grabbing another glass and filling it up from a bottle. He slid it across the counter to you. You quickly shook your head, waving your hand in refusal. "It’s not alcohol. It's Sprite" he muttered gruffly.
A quiet warmth bloomed in your chest as you reached for the glass. He remembered that you didn't like alcohol.
Choso let out another long, defeated sigh. "Fucking fantastic. Now my own friend isn't even on my side. Y/n, what about you? You’re the experienced one here. How is married life treating you?"
You froze slightly, the rim of the glass hovering near your lips. You took a slow sip of the soda to buy yourself a second, gently lowering the cup before meeting Choso's gaze. Sukuna was already staring intensely at you from across the counter, but you forced your attention to remain on Choso.
"What exactly do you want to know?" you asked carefully.
"Like, when you two were dating versus now that you're married... did anything actually change? And don't give me the sugarcoated version."
You let out a quiet breath, the weight of your own reality settling heavily on your shoulders. "I... well, my marriage was an arranged marriage. I never actually got to date anyone before lol." You looked at Choso, watching his expression shift into one of pure surprise.
"Arranged? Wow, that's wild. So... you didn't love your husband? You're just living with a stranger?" His questions weren't judgmental. he just looked genuinely, deeply curious. Out of the corner of your eye, however, you noticed Sukuna throwing him a sharp, warning glare.
"At first, I guess you could look at it that way" you murmured, spinning the glass between your fingers. You hated the lie, but you couldn't bring yourself to admit the truth. You didn't want anyone looking at you with pity, thinking you were just some miserable, pathetic woman trapped in a cold house. "But we actually understand each other really well now. We get along great, and... we might have fallen for each other along the way."
"Mhm. Well, that's good then. How ab-" Choso started, but he was instantly cut off by Sukuna's rough, commanding voice.
"Asking her isn't going to fix a damn thing between you and Yuki. Focus on fixing whatever the fuck is going on in your own relationship, and stop being a pussy. Just marry the woman."
You shifted your weight, looking at Choso with soft curiosity. "But why don't you want to marry her? You two look so deeply in love."
"I do... I love her more than anything" Choso confessed, trying his best to put his chaotic thoughts into words. "But the thing is, I'm terrified that everything will change once we get those papers. Isn't dating enough? We can keep dating, we can even have kids... do all of that. But the moment you get married, it feels like this big ass responsibility."
"I seriously hope she leaves your pathetic ass, Choso. Where is this nonsense even coming from?" Sukuna growled, leaning forward against the counter.
"Man... my parents used to be so happy, alright?" Choso's voice cracked slightly, his eyes dropping to the counter. "They were so in love. And then my fucking father went and cheated on my mother. Ever since then, I just... I hate the entire concept of marriage. I love Yuki, and I would never cheat on her, but what if something shifts the moment we say 'I do'?"
"Then break the fucking cycle" Sukuna said firmly, blowing a heavy ring of smoke into the air. Your breath hitched slightly as you stared at him. You were utterly stunned by how much advice he was actually giving, despite his usual detached, uncaring front. "Marry her. Actually love her, and prove to yourself that you can be a better man, a better husband, and a better father than your old ass father ever was. Don't sit around whining about the past. Do something about it."
"I don't know..." Choso muttered, staring blankly at the floor. "I’d need a house, a ring... wedding plans are insane. Everything is just so damn expensive right now."
"At this point, you're just making excuses. If your mind is truly set on a woman, not even God can stop you" Sukuna stated, his sharp eyes locked onto his friend.
"You're talking like you'd just jump into it so easily-"
"I might look like a heartless bastard, but if I actually want someone? If she’s the one I truly want? Believe me, she is going to be mine. In this universe, or in any other universe. She'll have a ring on her finger, and I wouldn't give a damn if I had to work four jobs at once to make sure she gets exactly what she wants." Sukuna reached out, bringing a heavy hand down onto Choso's shoulder. "Stop overthinking it. Yuki is a good woman. Don't let her go, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life. And if you dare hurt her, I'm personally beating your ass. Go get your girl. When I call you tomorrow, your shit better be sorted out."
A gentle, involuntary smile spread across your face as you listened to him. It was incredibly endearing to see this fierce, protective side of Sukuna.
"Sukuna is right" you added softly, gaining Choso's attention. "I might not be able to give you perfect advice as a married person, but as a woman, I can tell you that commitment matters. Imagine investing years into someone just to break up because of fear that would completely break Yuki. Don't play with her feelings. You don't have to throw a massive wedding tomorrow if you're dealing with past trauma, but at least get engaged. Show her exactly where you stand."
Choso looked at you, a small, relieved smile breaking through his anxious demeanor. He gave Sukuna a firm pat on the back. "Thanks, guys. I need to go... I'm gonna go get my girl back. Catch up with you later, dude."
With that, he turned on his heel and hurried out of the house.
And soon Kenjaku followed him too, without saying anything, Sukuna didn't said anything felt like they were still not over the fight but you decided not to speak about it.
You let out a quiet sigh, watching the front door click shut before turning your attention back to the man beside you. Sukuna was already dragging another puff from his cigarette, staring off into space.
"I didn't know you were such a good at relationship advice" you teased, leaning closer with a playful smile. "I might just have to come to you the next time I need help."
"Nah. I don't give out my expertise for free" he replied, a smug, wicked smirk playing on his lips.
You giggled, tilting your head. "Oh really? And what's your price?"
"A kiss. Actually, make it French" he teased, his dark eyes glinting with mischief.
You gasped softly, a flush rising to your cheeks as you playfully slapped his arm. Before you could pull away, his hand shot out.pure, lightning-fast reflex and gently caught your wrist, lowering your hand back to the counter with a quiet chuckle. "Not funny, Sukuna!"
"who said I was trying to be funny" he grunted, though the amusement in his voice was unmistakable.
You rolled your eyes, trying to master the erratic beating of your heart. To change the subject, you asked, "Is Yuji getting dressed up tomorrow for the preschool function? Is he going to look like a mini version of you?"
At the mention of his nephew, Sukuna snorted, his entire demeanor softening in a way that always melted you. "Brat wanted to dress up as a fucking machinic. But I told him he had to choose between being a lawyer or a mechanic. Then the kid looked at me and said we'd have to buy a suit for a lawyer..." Sukuna trail of smoke drifted away, his gaze dropping slightly.
"I can easily lend you one of Megumi's old suits-"
"Nah, don't worry about it. I have the money, I can buy him whatever he needs" Sukuna interrupted, a low, self-deprecating laugh escaping him. "It's just... the brat thinks suits cost a fortune. He probably thinks his uncle isn't financially stable or some shit."
Your chest squeezed painfully at the raw vulnerability in his voice. It was so rare for him to openly voice his insecurities, even if he tried to laugh them off immediately after.
"Kids are just naturally like that" you murmured softly. Without overthinking it, you reached out, placing your small hand over his large, calloused one, gently rubbing your thumb against his skin. His eyes snapped directly to yours, widening slightly at the sudden contact. "You are good uncle, Sukuna. Yuji knows that. Don't worry so much. Even Megumi used to ask me if we could afford pineapples when he was smaller."
Sukuna snorted, the tension leaving his shoulders. "Pineapples? Seriously?"
"Yes!" you giggled, happy to see the heavy mood lift. "Because we only ever bought them around Christmas, so he genuinely thought we were too poor to afford them during the rest of the year."
Sukuna shook his head, a genuine smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he looked down at your joined hands. "Wow. Is your kid dressing up as his old man tomorrow?"
Your smile grew proud and bright. "No. He actually said he wants to dress up like me."
Sukuna’s gaze softened drastically, a look of profound respect entering his eyes. "A doctor, huh? Nice choice." He gave your hand a brief, final squeeze before gesturing toward the living room. "Come on."
You walked together over to the couch, sinking into the cushions side by side. Sukuna leaned his head back, exhaling a slow breath of smoke, his eyes trained on you. He looked as if he were about to say something important, but the words were abruptly cut off by a loud, unmistakable moan echoing from upstairs.
The color instantly rushed to your face, your cheeks burning bright red.
"I swear to God, I am going to murder those horny bastards" Sukuna growled, glaring up at the ceiling with pure venom.
An awkward, flustered chuckle escaped you. "They... they're cute together."
"Cute or not, they can be cute somewhere that isn't my damn bed" he grunted.
You sighed softly, dropping your gaze back down to your hands to hide your embarrassment.
"So..." Sukuna’s voice dropped, sounding uncharacteristically hesitant. "Are you free tomorrow? You know, after the whole preschool thing is over?"
Instantly, a bright, ecstatic smile lit up your face as the excitement took over. You completely forgot about the awkwardness from a moment ago. "Mhm, no, actually! I'm going on a date with my husband. He's taking me to a really expensive, gorgeous restaurant!"
The words cut through the air, and though you couldn't see it, something sharp and unpleasant twisted in Sukuna's chest. It was a harsh, grounding reminder of the reality he constantly tried to ignore: you were entirely off-limits. You belonged to someone else. You were just his friend. That was it.
"You sound like it's the first time a guy has ever asked you out on a date" Sukuna said, his tone laced with a lazy snort as he tried to mask the sudden bitterness.
Your bright smile faltered slightly, embarrassment creeping back in. "Mhm, really? Do I sound like that?"
Sukuna shifted, turning his head to look at you fully. "Everything going alright with you and your man?"
You hesitated. You didn't want to broadcast the fractures in your marriage, but looking into Sukuna's dark, steady eyes, you felt a strange sense of safety. "Things... haven't been the best lately" you admitted softly, offering him a small, fragile smile. "But right now, everything is finally getting back on track. So, thank you."
"Just know..." Sukuna said, his voice dropping into a deep, deadly serious register. "If you ever need anything at all... you call me. Alright?"
You nodded quickly, a wave of profound gratitude washing over you. "You're actually really sweet, Ryo."
Sukuna immediately scoffed, rolling his eyes and turning his head away, though the faint tint of color on his ears gave him away. You let out a soft, delighted chuckle at his reaction. His expression softened once more, and he shifted his weight, spreading his legs wider as he grabbed a throw pillow, tossing it over his lap. He cleared his throat roughly.
"Can you grab me a glass of water?" he asked.
You raised an eyebrow at the sudden request but stood up without a word, walking back into the kitchen to pour it for him.
The moment your back was turned, Sukuna forcefully pressed the pillow down against his lap, gripping the edges tightly. He closed his eyes, cursing himself under his breath as he tried to force his racing blood to calm down. It was infuriating. He hadn't slept with a woman in over a month a record for him and the worst part was that he couldn't control his body's reaction whenever you were within arm's reach.
When you quickly walked back into the living room holding the glass, he practically snatched it from your hand. You watched in mild amusement as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, gulping the water down in one aggressive go. You bit your tongue to keep from teasing him, though your mind briefly wandered to how attractive he looked just doing something so simple.
"Calm down, Sukuna" you giggled, settling back onto the couch beside him. You pulled out your phone, absentmindedly scrolling through your notifications.
"Which restaurant?" he asked out of nowhere.
You blinked, looking up from your screen. You wondered why he was suddenly so interested in your dinner plans. "Mhm, it's the one right near the mall. You know..." You tried to describe it, though your knowledge of the city's geography was notoriously terrible.
"The Italian place?" he supplied lazily.
"Yes! That's the one!" you beamed, your face lighting up all over again. "Toji told me he made the reservation days ago because it's a super exclusive, VIP spot."
You flashed him a dazzling, radiant smile, and a dull ache throbbed in Sukuna’s chest.
"sounds fun" he murmured, blowing a stream of smoke off to the side, away from your face.
"Yes! Oh, by the way, where is Yuji hiding?" you asked, pouting slightly as you realized the house was far too quiet.
A faint smirk returned to his lips. "With his grandparents."
"Oh. I thought you didn't liked them"
"I don't like anyone" Sukuna countered simply. "But I can't exactly stop them from seeing their own grandkid, can I?"
You hummed softly in agreement. "Yeah, you're right. Grandparents always want to spoil their grandbabies." A fleeting shadow of sadness crossed your face, a quiet ache settling deep in your chest at the thought that you might never have a tiny bundle of joy of your own to hold and kiss every single day.
"Speaking of kids" Sukuna casual tone cut through your thoughts. "Don't you want one with your man? Like, one of your own, since the kid with the spiky hair isn't biologically yours."
You rolled your eyes at his stubborn refusal to just use Megumi's name. Letting out a long, quiet sigh, you looked down at your lap. "I mean, yeah... babies are cute. But recently, I went to see my gynecologist, and she told me there might be some serious complications with me getting pregnant."
You had been going to Shoko for your regular monthly checkups, and hearing that clinical diagnosis had secretly broken a piece of your heart.
Sukuna instantly stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, all trace of his lazy demeanor vanishing as he looked at you intensely. "Don't stress yourself out over it. If Toji gives you any shit about it, you just tell me-"
"What do you even have against Toji?" you interrupted, a soft, amused chuckle escaping you.
"Nothing. He's just an annoying bastard who can't take a punch to save his life."
"What?" You stared at him, utterly bewildered.
"Back when I used to do underground boxing, your husband used to show up and basically take cash just to get the shit beaten out of him," Sukuna explained, a dark smirk playing on his lips. "I was seventeen or eighteen at the time, and he was around twenty. He always had this woman with him...short hair, round face. It definitely wasn't you. Your hair is long."
The breath caught in your throat. Your gaze drifted to the floor, the heavy atmosphere returning in an instant. "That was his late wife..." you whispered, the memory of the woman who constantly haunted your marriage looming over you once again.
Sukuna fell silent for a moment, observing your dropped expression. "Could've guessed. Back then, it looked like he had run away from his family."
You gave a slow, tight nod, staring blankly at the wall ahead. Suddenly, the warmth of the house felt suffocating. "Mhm... I think I should probably head home now" you murmured, abruptly standing up from the couch, completely losing all desire to keep chatting.
Sukuna stood up immediately after you. "Why? Sta-" He cut himself off, clearing his throat. "I can drop you off."
You nodded quietly in appreciation.
Sukuna turned toward the stairs, raising his voice so it carried to the second floor. "I'm going to drop Y/n off. If you two haven't fucked off from my place by the time I get back, I am throwing both of your horny asses out into the fucking street!"
A small smile managed to find its way back to your face at his antics. Sukuna grabbed his car keys from the counter and signaled for you to follow him. You walked out into the cool evening air, and he stepped ahead, opening the passenger door of his jeep for you. You smiled up at him, but his expression remained stoic and unreadable. You felt a small pang of disappointment, but you quickly remnded yourself that this was Sukuna he didn't just smiles casually
He walked around the hood and climbed into the driver's seat with a heavy thud. As he started the engine, you turned your head to look out the window at the passing streets.
"I miss Yuji already" you said softly into the quiet cabin.
Sukuna glanced at you out of the corner of his eye. "I bet the brat misses you too."
"I'm really excited for tomorrow" you continued, a genuine warmth seeping back into your voice. "I want to see both of my babies happy, and I'm so excited to hear what they have to say during the presentation."
Sukuna let out a soft, amused huff. "Both babies?"
You giggled, turning to look at him. "Yeah. Both of them. They're my babies."
Sukuna snorted, though a soft, affectionate expression crossed his face. "Yuji would lose his mind if he found out his favorite auntie called him her baby."
You smiled, settling back into your seat. As Sukuna drove, your eyes involuntarily traced his movements the way his large hands gripped the steering wheel, the sharp line of his jaw. You realized with a quiet jolt just how attached you had truly become to him.
"Ryo..."
"Hm?"
You stared at him for a beat, before shaking your head with a gentle smile. "Never mind."
"Something on your mind?" he asked, tapping his fingers against the wheel. "What's bothering you?"
You let out a soft sigh, resting your cheek against your hand. "Nothing, really. Just thinking."
Sukuna let out a low, rough chuckle. "Thinking about what? What exactly is going on inside that pretty head of yours, hm?"
The casual compliment brought a flush to your cheeks. You kept your eyes locked on his side profile.masculine, rugged, and completely, annoyingly beautiful. His nose had a slight, rugged crook to it that only made him look even more handsome.
"About you" you teased softly.
Sukuna glanced at you, a sharp, confident smirk instantly spreading across his face. "Oh yeah? Thinking about what, exactly?"
"Mhm... like how surprisingly pretty your nose is" you laughed softly.
Sukuna snorted, shaking his head. "'Pretty' is a word I don't think I've ever heard applied to me."
You chuckled, turning your attention back to the window. Small, heavy droplets of water were beginning to hit the glass, signaling the start of a sudden downpour. For some reason, the sound of the rain brought a profound sense of calm over you.
From the driver's seat, Sukuna stole another quick glance at you. Over the course of his life, Sukuna had seen plenty of things he considered beautiful. He found beauty in the way the smoke from his cigarettes curled into intricate patterns under the moonlight, or the way different oil paints bled into each other when he used to draw.
But none of it could ever compare to the woman sitting right next to him. You were breathtaking. He wasn't a religious man by any stretch of the imagination, but looking at you, he could almost believe that whatever God existed had taken His absolute time crafting every detail of your face. Your laugh, your profile, the quiet way you carried yourself whenever you giggled, it felt like a physical ache in his chest.
Toji Zenin has to be the luckiest bastard alive, he thought bitterly.
But he couldn't bring himself to envy the man too much. If Toji was finally treating you the way you deserved, making you this happy and bubbly, then he would step back. To you, Sukuna was just a friend. A safe space.
And he would keep it that way. You were his friend. Nothing more.
"Ryo? Are you even listening to me?" your voice broke through his swirling thoughts.
He cleared his throat hastily, blinking. "Yeah. What?"
"We're almost at my house" you pointed out gently.
Sukuna quickly slowed the jeep down, realizing he had almost driven right past your street. A part of him wished he could just keep driving, getting lost in the rain with you in the passenger seat. He pulled the vehicle up to the curb in front of the massive Zenin estate and put it in park.
"Look at that, now you're the one lost in your own head" you teased, turning your body to face him. You reached out, gently patting the back of his hand. "Take care of yourself, Ryo. Bye."
With a final, warm smile, you opened the door and stepped out into the rain, leaving the man alone in a car that suddenly felt entirely too empty.
Sukuna sat frozen, his eyes locked onto your retreating figure as you walked up the driveway. The graceful sway of your hips, the way your hair bounced against your shoulders it was mesmerizing.
Reaching the porch, you glanced over your shoulder. Seeing that his jeep was still idling at the curb, you flashed him one last wave. The moment you turned to open the front door, the jeep finally pulled away into the rainy night.
You quickly stepped inside, shaking out your hair to rid it of the raindrops. The weather was turning fierce, but it matched the chaotic storm of emotions inside you.
"Y/n?"
Toji's deep, gravelly voice echoed through the hallway, making you flinch slightly. You looked up to see him walking out of the living room. To your surprise, he was still fully dressed in his work attire a crisp white button-down shirt, a loosened black tie, and tailored slacks.
"Oh, hey" you said softly, kicking off your heels and holding them in your hand. "Aren't you home too early?"
"The meeting wrapped up ahead of schedule, so I just came straight back. Got here about ten minutes ago" Toji explained, his eyes tracking your movements as you walked past him barefoot toward the kitchen. "The girl babysitting Megumi told me you went out to see your friend, so I didn't want to text and bother you."
"Yeah, I was with Shoko" you murmured, setting your keys on the counter. "I needed to go pay Tsumiki extra for staying late..."
"Don't worry about it, I already handled it" Toji said, following you into the kitchen. He reached up, casually pulling his tie over his head with one hand and tossing it onto a chair. "I called her a cab, paid for it, and gave her a generous tip."
You turned around, surprised by the gesture. "Thank you, Toji."
"For what?" he chuckled lowly. He stepped into your personal space, his large hands immediately reaching for the buttons of his shirt. Your eyes instinctively tracked the movement, your gaze flickering down toward his chest and the sharp lines of his crotch before you forced your eyes back up to his face.
Letting out a quiet breath, you turned back toward the refrigerator to hide your flushed face. But before you could open it, Toji's powerful arms wrapped securely around your waist from behind. He squeezed gently, pulling your back flush against his broad, solid chest. You felt the heat radiating off him as he leaned down, burying his face in the crook of your neck to press a soft, lingering kiss against your skin.
Your eyes fluttered shut, a quiet shiver running down your spine. "Ry-Toji," you corrected yourself instantly, a cold sweat breaking out at the near-slip of Sukuna's name. Fortunately, Toji was far too engrossed in the scent of your skin to notice the stutter.
"Yeah?" he murmured against your neck. "Don't you want to move back into my room?"
You swallowed hard, your heart hammering against your ribs. "What exactly are your intentions here, Toji?"
Toji paused, his lips leaving your skin as he gently turned you around in his arms so you were facing him. He looked down into your eyes with a rare, striking sincerity. "There are no hidden intentions, Y/n. I just seriously want to get along with my wife. That's it. I don't want this divorce to happen. I am completely serious about us."
Looking into his dark eyes, you felt a familiar wall inside you begin to crumble. You wanted so badly to believe him. After all, you had always been entirely too good at believing the things you desperately wished were true.
"Alright then" you whispered softly.
A massive, triumphant smirk broke across Toji's face.
"How about you sleep in my room tonight? It's bigger anyway" he suggested, his hands sliding down to rest on your hips, pulling you impossibly closer. "Then, after the preschool function tomorrow, we can start shifting all of your things back into my room permanently. What do you think?"
You let out a breathy chuckle, the lingering doubts fading into the background. "Sure, Toji." You wrapped your arms around his neck, leaning up on your tiptoes to press a sweet kiss against his cheek.
Toji’s grin widened, a genuine sense of warmth settling over him. It had been a long time since he had last thought about her. His late wife had been his entire world, and he knew he had been an absolute bastard to you, constantly comparing you to a ghost. But standing here in the kitchen, watching the light catch your features, he felt a sudden, fierce wave of protectiveness. You were his wife. You belonged to him.
He knew he needed to fix himself. Maybe he'd actually look into therapy, even if the mere thought of it felt entirely ridiculous for a man like him. Whatever it took to treat you the way you deserved, he was willing to try. He wanted a real future for Megumi, for you, and for himself.
Hours later, you lay awake, staring blankly up at the dark bedroom ceiling. Beside you, Toji was sleeping peacefully, his heavy arm thrown protectively over your waist, his low, rhythmic snoring filling the quiet room.
Try as you might, sleep simply wouldn't come. Maybe it was the snoring, or maybe it was the absolute chaos of thoughts racing through your mind. You were officially giving Toji a second chance a real, definitive one. Tomorrow, after the date at that beautiful restaurant, everything was supposed to change. You were finally going to have the husband you had spent years longing for, and the perfect family you had always dreamed of building.
Yet, as you lay there in the dark, enveloped by his warmth, you couldn't ignore the faint, lingering emptiness echoing deep inside your heart.

Ex!husbandKuna x f!reader
One year after your divorce, you run into your ex husband at a friend's birthday party. Neither of you expected to see each other again, and neither of you had prepared for the memories that come with it.
< Pervious part
Part 3
Sukuna took a deep, heavy breath before standing up. The sudden, looming movement made Samantha tense in her chair, her professional composure momentarily faltering. He stared down at his therapist, his expression unreadable, before deliberately stubbing out his cigarette on the wooden table. He shook his head, a dark scowl settling over his features.
"What happened?" Samantha asked.
She was a seasoned professional, used to dealing with volatile minds, but there were moments when she genuinely wondered what even went on inside Sukuna’s head. He was completely detached, living in a world entirely of his own
"Home" he stated flatly. He turned and began walking toward the exit, but paused at the threshold, glancing back over his shoulder. "Will pay you online."
With that, he vanished down the hall.
He walked out of the suffocating building where his soft-spoken therapist kept her office, the cool air hitting his face. He quickly mounted his bike, the engine roaring to life beneath him. As he pulled out into the street, a sudden, sharp memory hit him the phantom feeling of your arms wrapping tightly around his waist, holding onto him as he rode. There was a time when he felt that every single day.
He missed everything. He missed you so much it felt like a physical ache.
Ten minutes later, he parked the bike in the underground lot and stepped into the elevator. It had been five months since he moved into this new apartment. He simply couldn’t live in the old house anymore. It wasn't just his house it was yours, and every single square inch of it was a cruel reminder of what he had lost. The nursery had been the absolute worst.
In the final weeks before he left, he would lie on the floor of that empty room, overthinking every decision, mourning the small life that was supposed to be laughing and playing inside those pink walls. Eventually, it became too much. He physically couldn't walk past that door without the weight of the past crushing his chest.
So, he abandoned it. He didn't change a single thing... he just left the door locked and bought entirely new furniture for this apartment. A simple, stark place with only two bedrooms one for him, and one for Yuji. That was it. He couldn't bring himself to dismantle or redecorate the home you had built together, so he chose to leave it behind like a time capsule.
Sukuna unlocked the door, hung his keys on the hook, and locked it behind him. Walking into the living room, he found Yuji sprawled on the couch, mindlessly eating snacks with his eyes glued to the television screen.
Without a word, Sukuna walked past him into his bedroom. He stripped off his work clothes, throwing on a pair of gray sweatpants, leaving his torso bare, before wandering back out into the living space.
Yuji was so engrossed in his movie that he didn’t even notice his uncle's return at first. When he finally blinked and looked up, his eyes lit up with excitement.
"Yoo! How was the party? Any pictures?!"
Sukuna ignored him entirely. He reached down, snatched a handful of snacks right out of Yuji’s bowl, and began to eat, his gaze fixing on the screen. He completely despised whatever garbage the kid was watching, but he needed a distraction.
Yuji stared at his uncle, the silence stretching between them. He knew about you, of course. In fact, he had been desperate to know more, because your sudden divorce had come as a total shock to him. He had loved you... you were the kind, gentle auntie who somehow possessed the magic touch to keep Sukuna calm and human.
Yuji hadn't seen his uncle genuinely happy since the day you left. All Sukuna did now was act completely nonchalant, pretending like nothing in the world could affect him, but Yuji could see right through the facade. He saw the hollow space where Sukuna’s life used to be.
Yuji cleared his throat, trying to break the ice. "So, uhm-"
"I might be going to the police station, so don't piss yourself if officers show up looking for me" Sukuna cut him off, his tone entirely casual.
Yuji’s eyes widened in sheer disbelief. "What?! What the hell did you do?!" He quickly grabbed the remote, shutting off the TV to give Sukuna his full, panicked attention.
Sukuna set the snack packet down on the coffee table, tossing a flat glance at his nephew. "I beat Shoko's mother."
"What?!" Yuji let out a breathless, stunned laugh before his face snapped back into deep concern. "But why?!"
"She deserved it" Sukuna said, his voice terrifyingly level.
"Tsk! That's not what you're supposed to say!" Yuji groaned, throwing his hands up. "I mean, you seriously need to think before you act. You always call me a kid, but sometimes you act more reckless than anyone. Imagine if they press charges! You're a literal lawyer, Sukuna! You know the law, you need to be careful, and for God's sake, stop do-"
"Y/n was there." Sukuna said quietly.
Yuji’s mouth snapped shut instantly. The sound of your name on his uncle's lips changed everything. He stared, completely stunned by the admission.
"Oh..." Yuji’s tone softened into genuine curiosity. "Did you guys... talk?"
"Barely. She hates me" Sukuna snorted, reaching into his pocket to pull out his pack of cigarettes. A deep frown marred Yuji's face at the brief, bitter response.
"Beating Shoko's mother... did it involve aunti-I mean, Y/n too?" Yuji quickly corrected himself, but he caught the fleeting, sharp flicker in Sukuna's eyes at the word auntie.
"Focus on your own shit, brat" Sukuna grunted, lighting the cigarette.
"So it was about her" Yuji said, a small, knowing smirk appearing on his face, proud that he could still read his uncle so well.
Sukuna took a long drag, staring at the rising smoke. "The old hag taunted Y/n about the miscarriage."
Yuji’s smirk vanished instantly, his eyes widening with absolute fury. "You should have hit her harder" he said, his voice dropping an octave. "Should've made sure she couldn't even crawl to a phone to call the cops."
Sukuna glanced over at him, a rare, dark smirk playing on his own lips. He reached out, wrapping a heavy arm around Yuji’s shoulders, pulling him in briefly. "My bad."
"Mhm..." Yuji murmured. Sensing that his uncle was in an unusually receptive, friendly mood, he swallowed hard and summoned his courage, asking in a quiet voice, "Do you miss her?"
"No." Sukuna snapped instantly.
He stood up so fast Yuji barely had time to blink. He marched down the hallway into his bedroom and slammed the door shut behind him, the force of it making Yuji flinch out in the living room.
Sukuna threw himself onto the bed, staring blankly up at the dark ceiling. He tightly closed his eyes, but it was a mistake your face immediately materialized in his mind, vivid and beautiful. He snapped his eyes open, taking a ragged, deep breath to steady his racing heart.
Slowly, his hand reached toward the nightstand. He pulled open the small drawer and reached all the way to the back, pulling out a single, slightly worn photograph.
A soft, genuine smile crept onto his face as he looked at it.
In the picture, you were sitting squarely on Sukuna's lap. You had a massive, bubbly smile that lit up the entire frame, while Sukuna wore a trademark, slightly annoyed expression yet his eyes were incredibly soft as he looked at you. His large, tattooed hands were cupped gently over your prominent baby bump, and your smaller hands were resting right on top of his.
He stared at it for a long moment, a profound ache settling in his chest, before gently placing the photo back into the safety of the drawer and closing it. He shut his eyes again, letting the silence swallow him.
While you...
You were currently sitting on the hardwood floor of your apartment, surrounded by a chaotic sea of cardboard boxes and unassembled furniture pieces. But you weren't packing. Instead, you were just staring blankly at your hands, looking around the empty rooms, desperately trying to think of anything other than the man who had driven you home four days ago.
Had he moved on? Did he have a new girlfriend? Was it easy for him to just pack up and continue his life without you?
You let out a ragged sigh, picking up your phone with trembling fingers. You opened your messages and texted your therapist.
> Me: Saw him today.
>
A few moments later, the three dots appeared, and a response popped up.
> Victoria Therapy: That's actually a major step. Did the two of you speak? Would you like to unpack this during our next session?
>
You stared at the glowing screen, a wave of exhaustion washing over you. You closed your eyes, remembering the past year of therapy. Since the divorce, you had spent countless hours badmouthing Sukuna, complaining about the most trivial things like how he never closed the toilet lid or left his clothes on the floor. But both you and Victoria knew the truth. It was a coping mechanism. You complained because it was the only way to mask how deeply, desperately you still loved him. Moving on felt impossible.
> Me: I'll text you soon about the next session. Right now, I'm in the middle of moving into a new place.
>
You locked the phone and set it aside, leaning your head back against the wall before sliding down to lie flat on the floor. You felt miserable. Pathetic.
A tear slipped from the corner of your eye, burning hot against your skin. You hated yourself for freeze-framing. You hated that you hadn't stood up to Shoko's mother, that you hadn't protected the memory of your late, unborn baby. You should have screamed at her, should have defended your child, but instead, you had broken down.
And Sukuna had taken care of it. Just like he always did. He was violent, terrifying, and fiercely protective.
More tears rolled down your cheeks as you lay amidst the packed boxes, completely overwhelmed by memories of the husband you had lost.
Four days had passed, and surprisingly, Shoko's mother hadn't filed a police report. But the lack of legal trouble brought Sukuna absolutely no peace of mind. All it meant was that the dust had settled, and the reality had returned... there was no reason for him to ever see you again. He would trade every single thing he owned just to look at you for a few seconds.
But right now, he was trying to force himself to relax, begrudgingly eating whatever dinner his nephew had thrown together after a long, exhausting day at the firm.
Thump. Crash.
Sukuna paused, his fork hovering near his mouth. He glared over at Yuji as if the teenager were personally responsible for the racket. "Who the hell is making that noise? Is there construction going on?!" He chewed his rice fiercely, washing it down with a heavy gulp of red wine.
"Someone's moving into the apartment next door" Yuji replied casually, not looking up from his phone.
"Fucking fantastic" Sukuna grunted, chewing loudly. "Probably some boring, rich old hag, or some annoying, spoiled brat living off his daddy’s money. We're going to have to listen to this shit all day."
Yuji looked up, a sly smirk playing on his lips. "Hey, what if it's a really beautiful woman instead?"
Sukuna rolled his eyes, taking another sip of wine. "I bet my life it's an old granny."
Yuji snorted. "Whatever you say. We playing Call of Duty or what?"
"Yeah. Order some food first."
"You are literally eating a bowl of food right now!"
"This shit isn't enough for a man my size" Sukuna barked back.
Yuji stared at him for a beat, completely defeated. "...I have no words for you, honestly."
An hour later, the table was cleared, and the two of them were sitting side-by-side on the couch, gaming controllers gripped tightly in their hands. Their faces were dead serious, eyes locked onto the glowing screen. Suddenly, a massive, reverberating scrape echoed right through the shared wall, making Sukuna growl under his breath as his character took damage.
"Shit... shit... where are you spawning?" Yuji muttered, panicking as he tried to find Sukuna’s character on the map. Sukuna aggressively manipulated the thumbsticks, his character jumping out from cover to return fire.
Sukuna was entirely locked into the match, pushing past the distraction, when a sudden, massive THUD shook the wall, loud enough to rattle the framed art in the hallway.
That was the breaking point. Sukuna slammed his controller down onto the sofa cushions, his eyes flashing with irritation.
"Fucking hell. I'm going to go kill that granny."
Sukuna marched purposefully toward the front door, ripping it open and stepping out into the hallway.
"No! Wait! Don't do anything crazy!" Yuji scrambled off the couch, running after him in a panic. He knew exactly what his uncle was capable of when his temper flared, and the last thing they needed was an assault charge against a neighbor.
Sukuna stopped in front of the adjacent door. He ground his teeth together, raised his large hand, and knocked loud, hard, and demanding.
A sudden, sharp silence fell over the apartment inside. Then, the sound of hesitant footsteps approached.
The lock clicked. The door swung open.
You froze, your breath catching in your throat as you looked up. Sukuna stared down at you, his entire body locking into place.
"You live here?!" you both demanded at the exact same time.
An abrupt, heavy silence crashed over the hallway. Neither of you spoke another word, your eyes locked onto each other, processing the sheer impossibility of the moment. Sukuna’s throat tightened, and he cleared it roughly, trying to find his voice.
"Auntie?!"
Yuji’s voice broke the trance as he skidded to a halt behind his uncle. His eyes were wide, darting between the two of you. But the most shocking part to Yuji was the expression on Sukuna's face. His uncle was staring at you as if you held the entire world in your hands and in a way, you did.
You quickly tore your eyes away from the towering, broad-shouldered man, looking past his shoulder to the teenager behind him. Your gaze softened instantly, a genuine, warm emotion breaking through your shock.
"Oh, Yuji! Hello!" you breathed, a fragile smile touching your lips. "Look at you... you've grown up so much."

Three weeks
FratKuna x f!reader
Sukuna lost a bet and now he has three weeks to make you fall in love with him or he'll fail the exam along with his entire gang. Because after all you are the one who will help them at the exam.
Just one month and two weeks left until graduation.
The thought alone was enough to make you smile as you traced a finger over the spine of your heavy textbook. For the first time in your life, real independence felt like something you could actually touch. And soon you would be working a full time position as a graphic designer, finally earning your own money. You already had a mental list of all the things you wanted to buy, starting with the cute dresses, high heels, and outfits you usually had to pass up while living on a strict budget.
You weren’t a textbook nerd. you were just a girl who wanted to be successful. You worked because you had to. Your scholarship kept you in school, and your part time job at a small, quiet pet shop covered the rest. Life wasn't perfect your dad was a total asshole who contributed nothing but stress but you had carved out a peaceful existence despite him.
The only real flaw in your daily routine was the lingering ache of loneliness.
Whenever you wanted to hang out with your best friend, Shoko, she always seemed to be busy with Suguru. You knew without a doubt that if you voiced even a hint of loneliness, Shoko would drop Suguru in a heartbeat to come running to your side. But the crushing weight of guilt always stopped you. Why would you force your best friend to leave the person she loved just to keep your lonely ass company?
So, you learned to content yourself with your own company. You spent your evenings at the pet shop talking to the older ladies who came in, nursing sick animals back to health, drawing in your sketchbook, and baking small treats in your quiet apartment. For you, that comfort was enough.
And then, there was Ryomen Sukuna.
He was a total asshole. Sukuna walked through the campus corridors like he owned the whole world and honestly, maybe he did. He was terrifyingly intimidating, possessing a raw, dangerous presence that made even the largest men on campus look small and fragile in front of him. Not that he cared.
Sukuna focused his formidable energy on only a few things...frat parties, fucking around, smoking, drinking, and ruling over his circle of friends. His boys weren't exactly a good influence, though it was universally understood that Sukuna was the true bad influence driving the group forward.
"Who can steal the next test papers from the principal's office?" Kenjaku asked, sliding lazily down the side of the worn out frat house couch.
Sukuna took a long, slow drag from his cigarette, the tip glowing a fierce amber before he carelessly stubbed it out in the overcrowded ashtray. "It's too risky right now" he muttered, his rough, gravelly voice cutting through the thick layer of smoke in the room. "They upgraded the locks."
Mahito let out an annoyed, dramatic sigh from the floor. "We could always ask that rich bastard Gojo for help."
Sukuna scoffed, a dark, dangerous sound vibrating in his chest. "Over my dead body. That arrogant fuck thinks he runs the place."
Kenjaku burst into a loud laugh. "He’s got the keys, though."
"I don't care. He's always hanging around your brother like he's his shadow," Sukuna snorted, throwing a sharp look at Kenjaku. Despite being brothers, Kenjaku and Suguru were entirely different people, operating in completely different circles.
"How about we just get someone to help us pass the damn test?" Toji interjected, finally putting his phone down on the coffee table.
"Whom? Everyone in that class is stupid as fuck" Mahito complained, blindly grabbing another handful of chips from a crumpled packet.
Toji rolled his eyes, shifting his weight. "As if you're some kind of genius, Mahito. What about that kid? The one with the short brown hair and glasses. He’s been in our lectures for three years. He can help us."
"Nah, that nerd is annoying as hell" Kenjaku countered, casually stealing a handful of chips from Mahito’s bag. "He’s the history teacher’s kid. The second we ask for a cheat sheet, the bastard will snitch on us."
Kenjaku paused, his eyes lighting up with a sudden, malicious spark of inspiration. "Wait... What about that girl? The one who always hangs out with Suguru's girl? She’s incredibly smart, and she keeps her mouth shut. She could practically write the test for us."
Sukuna rolled his dark eyes, leaning his head back against the couch. "Nah. I don't think she'd help us. She doesn't even look at us."
"Let's make a bet!" Kenjaku suggested, a sharp, conniving smirk spreading across his face. "Sukuna, how about you? Make that girl fall completely in love with you, use her to get the answers to the test, and then dump her right after we pass."
Mahito burst into a cruel, loud fit of laughter, slapping his knee. "That is an amazing idea! We get a guaranteed passing grade, and we get to watch Sukuna play boyfriend. It’s perfect."
Sukuna scoffed, dismissively waving his hand. "Stupid ass ideas-"
"Oh? Don't tell me the great Ryomen Sukuna is scared?" Kenjaku taunted, tilting his head with a mocking sigh. "Tsk, tsk. Alright then. If you can't handle a simple girl, I guess-"
Sukuna’s eyebrows snapped together, his gaze instantly turning lethal. When it came to his ego, he couldn't tolerate even the slightest challenge. "I'll do it."
Toji looked at Sukuna, a rare flash of genuine caution crossing his features as he shook his head. "Man...that’s brutal. Just be careful."
The rest of the room merely scoffed at Toji’s uncharacteristic warning, returning to their drinks. "You have three weeks until the exam" Kenjaku reminded him, his smirk wider than ever.
Sukuna let out a dark, confident chuckle, his eyes narrowing with dangerous intent. "Three weeks is more than enough time to make a pathetic girl fall in love."
The next morning, you were sitting alone at your usual double desk. Shoko was going to be out of the country with her family for the next two weeks, planning to return just in time to sit for the final exam. Because you were a loyal friend, you were currently busy compiling and organizing detailed notes to send to her email, returning the favor from all the times she had helped you balance your crazy work schedule.
You let out a quiet sigh, your pen scratching against your notebook as the professor’s monotonous voice droned on in the background.
Suddenly, a loud, heavy thud echoed right beside you, vibrating through the wood of the desk. For a split second, your heart leaped, thinking Shoko had somehow made a surprise early return. But Shoko never made that much noise.
Turning your head, your breath caught sharply in your throat.
Sitting right next to you was none other than Ryomen Sukuna. He was, admittedly, the biggest unacknowledged crush of the entire campus, but he was also someone you never expected to speak to. You blinked in confusion. What was he doing here? His friends were nowhere to be seen not that any of them ever bothered to attend this specific lecture.
You quietly cleared your throat, attempting to break the sudden, suffocating tension.
Sukuna slowly looked up from his phone, his dark, heavy gaze locking onto yours. He deliberately set his phone face down on the desk before tilting his head. "This seat is free, right?" he asked, his rough voice sending a strange shiver down your spine.
You offered a small, cautious hum. "You ask before sitting down?"
A slow, amused smirk spread across Sukuna's lips at your defensive tone. Well, look at that. You weren't nearly as meek or timid as his friends had led him to believe.
"Touché" he murmured, turning his massive frame entirely toward you, his broad shoulders casting a shadow that made you feel incredibly small. The intricate, dark tattoos tracing down his face and neck were mesmerizing up close. "Can I ask you for a favor?"
You blinked, trying to maintain your composure. "Mhm, yeah. Sure?"
"Can you help me study for the upcoming history test?"
You paused, thoroughly taken aback. "Mhm... I can teach you. Sure. We can do it after classes."
"Perfect" Sukuna said, sliding his phone across the desk toward your hand. "Give me your number then, so I can contact you."
You stared at the device for a moment before gently picking it up, your fingers trembling slightly as you typed your digits into his contacts. You were completely bewildered by the sudden request, but a small part of your lonely heart felt a flicker of warmth. Maybe he wasn't the monster everyone made him out to be. Finally, someone was taking the time to approach you.
"See you around then" Sukuna said, sliding his phone back into his pocket. Without a single care for the professor who was still actively lecturing at the front of the room, he stood up and walked right out of the classroom.
Well, that was incredibly weird you thought to yourself later that evening as you unlocked the door to your apartment. You quickly fired off a text to Shoko, explaining the weird ass interaction. Shoko’s reply was instant, brief, and fiercely protective: 'Stay away from him.'
You sighed and texted back an agreement. She was entirely right. Sukuna was trouble.
Despite Shoko's warning, the next afternoon found you sitting at a corner table in the campus library, a massive history textbook propped open between you and Sukuna.
He was dressed down today, wearing a pair of casual grey sweatpants and an oversized black tee that left his heavily tattooed arms on full display. Despite his relaxed posture, he looked undeniably handsome, his sharp jawline highlighted by the harsh library lights. You felt suddenly self-conscious in your simple navy blue jeans and plain white top.
You kept a close eye on the clock. You had a shift at the pet shop in exactly two hours, so you needed to make this session as efficient as possible.
"Look, this specific question has a high chance of appearing on the exam," you explained gently, tapping a neatly highlighted paragraph with the tip of your pen. "The Cold War section is pretty straightforward, so we won't waste time on it today. Let's focus on these chapters instead, okay?"
Sukuna gave a lazy nod, his chin resting in his palm.
In reality, he was barely processing a single word. Every time you looked down at your notes, his eyes would drift, completely spacing out as he checked the clock or traced the patterns on the table. But the moment your eyes snapped back up to meet his, he would quickly nod, pretending to be fully engaged.
When you finally closed the heavy textbook with a soft thud, his attention instantly snapped back to you.
"You free after this?" he asked, a familiar, confident smirk playing on his lips. "I can take you to a cafe down the street as a thank you."
You offered him a gentle, appreciative smile. A tiny wave of relief washed over you; he really was trying to be nice. Maybe the campus rumors were entirely wrong about him.
"I'm sorry, I can't today" you replied softly, packing your notebooks into your bag. "I have to get to work. How about another time? We still have a few weeks left before the test, and we've barely scratched the surface of the material."
Sukuna raised an eyebrow, leaning back in his chair. "Uh... yeah. Yeah, sure. Where do you work anyway?" He asked, his voice carrying a strange hint of genuine curiosity.
"I work in a small pet shop a few blocks away" you said, a bright smile automatically forming at the thought of the animals.
Sukuna’s lips twitched. A pet shop. Of course. You looked far too sweet and innocent to be working in some loud, crowded bar or restaurant. "I can walk you there, I guess," he muttered, abruptly standing up, grabbing his single notebook, and shoving it carelessly into his leather bag.
"Alright" you agreed, surprised but happy for the company.
The walk to the shop was filled with a surprisingly comfortable silence. The evening air was cool, and Sukuna simply kept his hands in his pockets, his sharp eyes scanning the streets as he walked at a pace that perfectly matched yours.
"What are your plans after graduation?" he asked suddenly, breaking the silence as you crossed a street.
You looked up at him, your eyes shining. "Oh, I'm going to start working full-time as a graphic designer. I love art, so it's a dream come true" you said, your face lighting up with genuine excitement.
Sukuna looked down at you, watching the way your eyes crinkled when you smiled. "Hm. I see."
"What about you?" you asked.
"Going to take over the family business" he stated flatly, his tone completely nonchalant.
You gave an understanding nod. "Ah, that makes sense. That's why you're so relaxed about these classes."
"Something like that" he murmured.
Soon enough, you arrived in front of the quaint, brightly lit pet store. You stopped by the door, adjusting the strap of your bag on your shoulder. "Thank you for walking with me, Sukuna. See you around." You waved gently, giving him one last smile.
He offered a brief, silent nod before turning on his heel and walking away into the evening crowd.
And just like that, a whole week flew by.
Sukuna consistently stayed behind after classes, sitting beside you in the library and actually listening to your explanations. To his own surprise, he was starting to find the sessions somewhat engaging. You had created custom flashcards and short, competitive quizzes for him.and if there was one thing a guy like Sukuna loved, it was showing off when he knew the answers.
He started buying you warm tea before your study sessions, and he never failed to walk you to the pet shop or all the way to your apartment afterward. You convinced yourself he was only doing it to return the favor for the tutoring.
But as the days bled together, you found yourself falling for the version of Sukuna he showed to you. He was quiet, surprisingly patient, and attentive. Sure, he could still act like an arrogant jerk sometimes especially when he chose to completely ignore your corrections.but beneath the rough exterior, he was genuinely fun to be around.
One evening, you were walking home from a grueling shift at the pet store. You were physically exhausted, your muscles aching, but your heart was completely full. The shop had taken in a tiny, fragile kitten earlier that day. She was so small, weak, and malnourished that she couldn't even feed herself, so you had volunteered to take her home for the night to care for her around the clock.
You carried the tiny creature carefully in a small, blanket-lined cardboard box, keeping it close to your chest.
As you passed by the local park, your eyes caught sight of a familiar figure sitting alone on a park bench. It was Sukuna. A bright smile immediately broke across your tired face, and you altered your steps to walk toward him.
"Hey!" you called out softly.
Sukuna looked up from his phone, his initial expression one of pure, unbothered boredom. "Wassup?" he muttered, pocketing his phone. "hanging around?"
You shook your head, carefully stepping over the grass. "No, I'm just on my way home from work. But look."
You gently sat down on the bench beside him. Sukuna’s long legs were spread wide, taking up a massive amount of space, and you felt a sudden, fierce blush creep up your neck as your thigh brushed against his. Desperate to hide your burning cheeks, you hurriedly tilted the cardboard box toward him, revealing the tiny, sleeping kitten inside.
Sukuna parted his lips to say something, but before a word could form, a loud voice cut through the quiet park air.
"Uncle Kuna!! Who is that?! Is she your girlfriend?!"
A tiny boy, looking no older than five years old, came barreling down the paved path, running straight toward the bench with boundless energy. Your jaw nearly dropped. The little boy had the exact same wild, pinkish-black hair as Sukuna. For a terrifying second, you thought Sukuna had a secret child, but the word 'uncle' quickly registered in your brain.
"Shut up, brat" Sukuna barked automatically, though there was a distinct lack of real heat in his voice.
The little boy immediately stopped in front of the bench, letting out a dramatic pout before his wide, curious eyes locked onto you.
"Hello! I'm Yuji Itadori!" the boy announced proudly, puffing out his chest. "I'm five years old, and I love my Uncle Kuna! Pretty lady, what's your name?"
A genuine, breathless giggle escaped your lips, and you carefully placed the kitten's box onto the bench between you and Sukuna so you could properly face the child.
"Hello, Yuji" you said softly, your voice melting with warmth. "I'm your uncle's classmate. We're friends. My name is Y/n and you are so adorable." You reached out, gently patting his chubby cheek.
Yuji’s eyes went wide, a bright pink blush immediately coloring his face.
"Oh? Are you blushing, brat?" Sukuna mocked, a massive, genuine smirk breaking across his face as he poked the back of his nephew's head.
"No, I'm not!" Yuji yelled back, crossing his small arms defensively.
Sukuna snorted, his gaze softening in a way you had never seen before as he looked over at you. "Let's walk you home. It's getting too late for you to be out by yourself."
"Yes! Me and Uncle Kuna will protect the pretty lady from the bad guys!" Yuji cheered, instantly forgetting his anger as he carefully peeked into the cardboard box to look at the kitten.
"Her name is Y/n, brat" Sukuna growled playfully, reaching out to gently tug Yuji away by the collar of his shirt before the boy could accidentally wake the sick animal. "Don't crowd it, it's not a toy."
The walk to your apartment building that night was the happiest you had been in months. With Sukuna walking closely on your right and little Yuji scaling the curbs on your left, you laughed so hard your cheeks genuinely ached. For the first time in a long time, you felt a deep, profound sense of belonging.
By the time the second week came to a close, your relationship with Sukuna had shifted completely. He had even come over to your apartment a few times under the guise of studying. During one specific late-night session, while you were leaning over his shoulder to point out a map, he had turned his head so suddenly that your lips were mere inches apart. The intense, heavy look in his eyes had made your breath hitch, and you had secretly, desperately wanted him to close the distance.
He was everything you could ever want. Sure, he was a rough, easily irritated man to the rest of the world, but with you, he was different. He brought you your favorite tea, he listened to your rants about the pet store, and he actually studied the material you gave him.
You were completely, entirely in love with him.
And you were absolutely certain he felt the same way. Granted, his friends.Mahito and Kenjaku sometimes gave you so strange, mocking looks whenever you passed them in the hallways, but you brushed it off as them just being immature. Even the popular girls on campus were starting to look at you with bitter jealousy. You didn't care. You were happy.
"And... that's finally everything" you said with a bright smile, gently closing the thick history notebook and sliding it across the library table. "I bet you're going to write the really well this test tomorrow, Sukuna."
Sukuna leaned back, a casual smirk on his lips. "Yeah, yeah. Just make sure you're there early tomorrow to help me do a final review before the papers are handed out, alright?"
"Of course" you promised, your heart doing a little flutter. "I'll come extra early so we can practice one last time."
He nodded, standing up and slinging his bag over his shoulder. He paused, looking down at you for a long moment before reaching out and playfully pinching your cheek. "Tonight. Come to the frat house. There's a party at 9 PM. Be there."
Before you could even answer, he turned and walked away, leaving you sitting at the table with a burning blush and a silly smile plastered across your face.
As Sukuna walked out of the library, his smirk faded into a complicated expression. He had actually grown to enjoy the time he spent with you, but his stubborn ego refused to let him admit it. He kept reminding himself that this was all just a means to an end a game to pass a stupid test and prove to his boys that he could pull off any challenge thrown his way. It was just a bet. Nothing more.
Meanwhile, you spent the entire afternoon in a state of pure, jittery excitement. You had even taken a rare night off from the pet store.
For the very first time in your life, you dressed up in something intentionally bold. It was a stunning, short black dress that hugged every single curve of your body perfectly. You slipped into a pair of elegant high heels, styled your hair into a perfectly loose, messy bun, and spent an hour carefully following a makeup tutorial until your reflection looked absolutely flawless.
You looked beautiful. And tonight, you promised yourself, you were finally going to tell Sukuna that you loved him.
When your cab dropped you off at the frat house, the entire street was buzzing. Bass vibrated through the ground, and cars lined the block. The second you pushed the heavy front door open, a wave of immediate regret washed over you. The house was a chaotic, suffocating sea of sweaty bodies, flashing lights, and screaming music. Finding Sukuna in this mess was going to be nearly impossible.
Pushing past a group of girls who were dancing wildly, you navigated your way to the kitchen, pouring yourself a quiet glass of water just to steady your nerves.
You checked the backyard balcony, but he wasn't there. Sicking your teeth, you decided to head upstairs, hoping he was hanging out in one of the quieter rooms. As you reached the top of the crowded staircase, you accidentally collided with a broad chest.
"I'm so sorry!" you quickly apologized, looking up.
"It's fine" a rough, deep voice replied.
You recognized him instantly it was Toji, one of Sukuna's close friends. He had sharp green eyes and a distinct scar resting on his lip. But as he looked down at you, his eyes didn't hold their usual mocking glint. Instead, he looked at you with a strange, heavy expression that bordered on pity. Before you could even ask him if he had seen Sukuna, Toji quietly stepped past you and disappeared down the stairs.
Confused, you continued down the dimly lit hallway. You carefully opened the first two doors, only to quickly shut them after stumbling upon couples making out in the dark.
As you approached the very last door at the end of the hall, the sound of familiar laughter filtered through the wood. You raised your hand, about to knock, when Mahito’s loud, obnoxious voice cut through the air.
"Hell nah! Are you serious, Sukuna?! That nerd actually thinks you like her?!"
You froze, your hand hovering inches from the door. Your heart stopped
.
Sukuna’s distinct, dark chuckle echoed from inside the room. "Yeah, yeah. Just relax. Tomorrow we're all going to pass this fucking test with perfect marks thanks to her."
"Man, that's brutal" Kenjaku laughed loudly. "Are you seriously going to dump her the second the exam is over?"
"Dude, don't!" Mahito chimed in, snickering. "Keep her around! I swear she could be useful for something!"
Sukuna let out a dismissive snort. "Nah. I'm gonna tell her it was all just a bet. She's smart, she'll get it."
A cruel chorus of laughter erupted from inside the room.
Out in the hallway, the world completely fell away. You stood there frozen, dressed in your beautiful new clothes, wearing the makeup you had spent hours mastering, feeling like the most pathetic, foolish girl in the entire world. You weren't a person to them. You were just a pawn. A joke. A convenient tool for a group of handsome, privileged guys who needed a passing grade.
Tears instantly flooded your eyes, spilling over your lashes and ruining the makeup you had been so proud of. The air in the hallway suddenly felt completely unbreathable, the heavy bass of the music downstairs pounding painfully against your ribcage.
Turning on your heel, you ran.
You shoved past the crowded bodies in the hallway, practically flying down the stairs as sob after sob ripped from your throat. You burst through the front doors of the frat house and into the cool night air, desperately pulling out your phone to call a cab. When the car finally pulled up, the driver took one look at your tea -streaked face and broken expression, offering a sympathetic sigh before quietly driving you away from the nightmare.
The moment you crossed the threshold of your apartment, the dam broke. You aggressively reached behind your back, ripping the zipper of the black dress down and tearing it off your body, throwing it straight into the trash can. You stumbled into the bathroom, harshly scrubbing the makeup off your face with cold water until your skin was raw and red.
Finally, you threw yourself onto your empty bed, burying your face in the pillows as you cried yourself to sleep, the agonizing sound of your own heartbreak echoing in the quiet room.
Back at the party, Sukuna casually checked his phone. It was already past 10:00 PM, and there was still absolutely no sign of you. Why hadn't you texted him? You were never late.
Letting out a heavy sigh, he stood up from the couch and scratched his tattooed arm. "I'm going downstairs" he muttered to Kenjaku, leaving the room to navigate the dense crowd below.
He moved through the sweaty masses, his eyes automatically scanning the room for the specific hair color and quiet presence he had grown so incredibly used to over the past three weeks. He coldly pushed away several girls who tried to wrap their arms around his neck, his annoyance growing by the second.
Heading out to the balcony for some fresh air, he found Toji leaning against the railing, quietly smoking a cigarette.
"Wassup" Sukuna muttered, leaning against the rail beside him. "Give me one." He grabbed a cigarette from Toji's offered pack, lighting it quickly.
"Looking for someone?" Toji asked, his green eyes fixed on the dark backyard.
Sukuna immediately shook his head, taking a sharp drag. "Nah. Why would I be?"
Toji exhaled a cloud of smoke, his voice completely flat. "I saw that girl. Y/n. She was here."
Sukuna’s entire body went rigid, his head snapping toward Toji. "Yeah? Where is she?"
"She went upstairs a while ago. Looked like she was searching for you."
Sukuna’s chest tightened with a strange, inexplicable surge of panic. He tossed his cigarette over the railing and immediately turned back toward the house. "Yeah, whatever. That girl... what a total nerd" he muttered loudly, desperately trying to sound completely unbothered so Toji wouldn't think he actually cared. "I'm gonna go find someo bitch to dance with."
But the second he was out of Toji's sight, Sukuna pulled out his phone, his thumbs flying across the screen.
Sukuna: Hey, where you at?
The message instantly marked as Delivered. He waited five minutes. No response.
Sukuna: You at the party or what?
Still nothing. Only the cold Delivered.
For the rest of the night, Sukuna couldn't focus on a single thing. He convinced himself that he was only looking for you because he needed to ensure his passing grade for tomorrow's test. Nothing more. But as the hours ticked by, he found himself opening every single closed door in the frat house, roughly shoving people out of his way just to check every corner of the property. You were completely gone.
Frustrated, anxious, and deeply unsettled, Sukuna ended up drinking far more than he usually did, desperately trying to drown out the sudden, heavy ache in his chest. He tried calling your number a dozen times until his vision blurred, eventually passing out cold on his bed.
The harsh blare of his alarm woke Sukuna up the next morning. His head was pounding with a vicious hangover, but his eyes snapped open with immediate clarity. Today was the exam. More importantly, he was going to see you.
He quickly threw on a pair of clean clothes, ignoring the texts from Mahito as he practically sprinted out of his room, got into his car, and sped toward the campus. His phone sat on the passenger seat, completely silent. You still hadn't replied to a single text or call.
When he arrived at the lecture hall, he bypassed his usual crowd outside and walked straight through the doors.
For the first time in his entire academic life, Ryomen Sukuna was the very first student to arrive in the classroom. The few early rising students stared at him in utter shock as he walked down the aisle, but he ignored them completely. He marched straight to your usual double desk and sat down, carefully leaving the chair right beside him completely empty. He kept his eyes glued to the door, waiting for you to walk through it.
His friends strolled in a few minutes later, throwing him confused looks before taking their seats a few rows back.
The professor finally walked in, holding a thick stack of exam papers. The atmosphere in the room instantly turned tense and nervous. Sukuna’s eyes remained locked on the entrance, his heart hammering against his ribs. Where the hell are you?
As the professor approached his desk to hand him a paper, Sukuna forcefully cleared his throat. " We should wait a few more minutes. Not everyone is here yet."
The professor blinked in surprise, adjusting his glasses. "Oh, if you're referring to Miss Shoko and Miss Y/n, there's no need to wait. Shoko’s family extended their trip, and Y/n called in this morning stating she is violently ill. They will take a makeup exam when they return."
Sukuna’s breath completely caught in his throat, a cold weight dropping into the pit of his stomach. Sick? Why hadn't you told him? Did something happen to you at the party last night? Did someone put something in your drink?
"Hell nah, that nerd really left us out to dry," Mahito whispered loudly from behind him, letting out a nervous laugh.
"Shut the fuck up" Sukuna snarled, his voice so dangerously low and lethal that Mahito instantly went quiet.
Sukuna fiercely flipped the exam paper over, intending to leave it blank out of pure rage but as his eyes scanned the questions, his hands stopped shaking. The answers practically leaped off the page at him. Your gentle voice echoed clearly in his mind, reminding him of the flashcards, the tricks, and the specific historical timelines you had forced him to memorize. You had taught him so incredibly well that he didn't even need to think.
He flew through the test in record time, his pen moving furiously. Before he even walked out, he roughly scrawled the answers on a scrap piece of paper and covertly slammed it onto Toji’s desk, ensuring his friends would pass too.
The second he finished, he marched down the steps, shoved his exam paper directly into the professor’s hands, and walked right out of the building, leaving the entire class staring after him in stunned silence.
He didn't care about the test. He didn't care about the class.
He got into his car and drove like a maniac toward the familiar apartment building he had spent the last two weeks walking to. His phone was still completely dead to your contact.
Arriving at your door, he didn't care about manners or neighbors. He raised his massive fist and began pounding heavily against the wood, the loud thuds echoing down the quiet apartment corridor.
Inside, you were curled into a tight ball underneath your blankets. You felt entirely hollow, your body aching from crying for hours on end. You hadn't eaten a single thing all day, and you felt physically nauseous. All you wanted to do was disappear into the dark.
But the obnoxious, relentless pounding on your front door was making your head split in two.
With a exhausted, heavy sigh, you finally forced your weak legs to stand. You dragged your feet across the cold floor, wrapping your oversized t-shirt tightly around yourself as you unlocked the deadbolt and pulled the door open.
The second the door swung wide, Sukuna’s furious expression instantly crumbled.
You looked devastatingly pale, your eyes terribly swollen and red from crying. Yet, even in your oversized clothes and unbrushed hair, his heart clenched painfully at the sight of you.
"Damn it, Y/n! What the hell happened?!" he roared, his voice laced with a raw, frantic panic he couldn't hide. "I've been calling you and texting you all night! Today was the fucking test! Where the hell were you-"
A cold, bitter scoff escaped your lips, cutting him off entirely. You leaned against the doorframe, looking at him with eyes that were entirely dead and devoid of the warmth he had grown used to.
"Oh, my bad Sukuna," you whispered, your voice dripping with sharp, unadulterated venom. "I am so sorry that I couldn't make it to the test to hand deliver the answers to you and your pathetic friends, why are you even here right now? Aren't you supposed to be dumping me today since the exam is officialy over?"
Sukuna froze, his entire face going completely pale. His chest tightened so hard he could barely draw a breath. He felt a sharp, agonizing ache pierce his heart. You knew. He didn't know how, and he didn't know who told you, but you knew every single thing. And for the first time in his life, Ryomen Sukuna felt a wave of pure, unmitified terror.
"No... Y/n, that's not... listen to me, that's not what it is" he stammered, his loud, confident voice completely failing him as he stepped forward, his hand reaching out to touch your shoulder.
You flinched away from his touch as if his hand were made of fire, letting out a sharp, breathless laugh.
"Please! Don't even start!" you yelled, tears freshly springing into your eyes as your voice trembled with raw pain. "What are you going to say now? 'Let me explain, Y/n? The boys made me do it, but I really like you now?' Is that your script, Sukuna? Well, congratulations. You probably passed your history test today. But you officially passed the test of being a total, disgusting fucking asshole. Now get the fuck away from my door, because I never want to see your pathetic face ever again!"
With every ounce of strength left in your body, you grabbed the edge of the heavy door and slammed it shut right in his face. The loud crack echoed through the hallway, followed immediately by the sharp click of the lock turning.
On the other side of the door, you collapsed against the wood, sliding down to the floor as a fresh wave of violent sobs took over your body.
Sukuna stood frozen in the hallway, his hand still suspended in mid-air. He felt completely shattered. "Hey!!" he suddenly yelled, throwing his weight against the door, his fist pounding against the wood again. "Fuck! Y/n, just open the damn door! Just fucking listen to me for one second! I swear to God, let me make it up to you! Y/n!!!"
He yelled until his throat was completely raw. He didn't leave.
One hour passed. Then three. Then six.
Sukuna remained standing firmly right outside your apartment door, his jaw clenched, his eyes dark with a desperate, agonizing determination. The neighbors poked their heads out, staring at the terrifying, heavily tattooed campus kingpin standing guard in their hallway like a broken shadow. Eventually, someone called the police.
From your bedroom window, you quietly watched through the blinds as two police officers escorted a furious, glaring Sukuna out of the building and into the parking lot. A small, bittersweet pang hit your chest, but you quickly turned away, wrapping your blankets tightly around yourself.
He had won his bet, but as Sukuna looked back up at your dark, silent window from the street below, he realized he had lost the only thing that actually mattered.
A whole year had crawled by, but for Ryomen Sukuna, time had completely stalled.
The days, weeks, and months following that final, devastating afternoon had been a blur of frantic searching and bitter regret. He had shown up to the graduation ceremony early, his eyes scanning the crowd of caps and gowns until his vision blurred, but your seat remained empty. He had spent the entire night of prom leaning against the wall of the grand hall, ignoring the girls trying to catch his eye, waiting for a black dress that never walked through the doors. You had simply vanished, leaving a quiet, echoing void where you used to be.
He didn’t tell his boys a single thing about what had happened. He couldn't. Admitting that he had fallen desperately, hopelessly in love with the girl he was supposed to ruin only for her to completely break him instead would have made him look weak. It would have made him look pathetic.
And Sukuna absolutely hated feeling pathetic.
When he had finally swallowed his pride and gone back to your apartment building a month after graduation, a box of your favorite tea clutched tightly in his hand, a stranger had answered the door. The neighbors coldly informed him that you had packed up your things and moved to a completely different part of the city. No forwarding address. No clues.
Now, he was fully entrenched in his family’s business, running operations with a cold, ruthless efficiency that kept his mind occupied during the day. But the nights were the hardest. The nights were when your bright, crinkling smile and the soft sound of your laughter crawled back into his mind, mocking him.
Despite the shift into the real world, the old gang still hung out at the frat house on weekends, trying to cling to the remnants of their college glory.
"Where the hell is Toji?" Sukuna grumbled, his rough voice slicing through the heavy silence of the room as he aggressively threw his cards face-down onto the table.
"Pft. God knows" Kenjaku muttered, leaning back and puffing a thick cloud of smoke toward the ceiling. "He barely hangs out with us anymore. He’s completely ghosting."
"Maybe he’s just working. That actually makes sense" Mahito offered, surprisingly logical for once as he shuffled a stack of chips.
"Yeah, well, we all work" Kenjaku countered with an annoyed scoff. "It's not like running errands for the Zenin family business is that grueling. He could easily make time for us. It’s not like the guy is a CEO."
Sukuna let out a low, bitter scoff, staring down at his discarded cards. His mind was entirely elsewhere.
"Hey, what if he has a girl?!" Mahito suddenly gasped, his eyes lighting up with gossipy excitement. "Think about it! Every single time he actually shows up here, he’s glued to his phone, texting someone all day, and then he leaves early."
Sukuna slowly raised his dark eyes, a dangerous glint flickering in them. "That actually tracks. Whenever he’s here, he’s checked out. Always staring at his screen like a lovesick idiot before making some weak excuse to split."
"Man, who could it possibly be-" Kenjaku started, but the front door suddenly swung open, cutting him off.
Toji walked into the room, looking entirely relaxed in a pair of simple blue jeans and a clean white tee. His physical frame was as imposing as ever, but there was a distinct, calm lightness to his posture that hadn't been there a year ago.
"Oh, look who finally decided to grace us with his presence" Sukuna muttered dryly, his fingers tightening around his glass.
Toji let out a lazy scoff, walking past the table. "I'm here now, chill out." He slid onto the worn couch, reaching into the cooler to grab a cold beer.
"Why are you so damn busy lately?" Kenjaku demanded, leaning forward on his elbows. "You don't even have time for your friends anymore. What gives?"
Toji popped the cap off his beer, a slow, incredibly smug smirk spreading across his lips. "What's the matter, Kenjaku? You miss me that much?"
The entire room scoffed in unison, waving him off.
"Cut the crap, Toj," Sukuna interjected, his voice dropping into a dark, commanding register that instantly killed the lighthearted banter. He locked his intense gaze onto the older man. "Who’s the bitch"
Toji’s smirk fade, but his green eyes hardened slightly as he took a slow sip of his beer. He set the bottle down, looking Sukuna dead in the eye. "First of all, watch your fucking mouth when you talk about my gjrl-"
"Damn!!!!" Mahito shrieked, jumping up from his chair and pointing a finger at Toji. "You actually have a girlfriend! And you didn't tell us?! For how long?!"
Toji rolled his shoulders back, completely unbothered by Mahito's outburst. "I was going to tell you guys eventually, but yeah. It's been a while now."
"What's her name?" Sukuna asked flatly, his hand reaching into his pocket to grab his lighter. He needed something to do with his hands a strange, suffocating tightness was suddenly building in his chest, a sickening feeling of intuition clawing at his throat.
Toji leaned back against the cushions, his expression softening into something genuinely warm a look none of them had ever seen on the cynical man’s face before.
"Y/n" Toji said gently.
The entire room went dead silent.
Sukuna froze completely, his thumb halting right over the wheel of his lighter. The spark died before the flame could even catch. Y/n. The name echoed in his ears like a physical blow, a violent ringing in his head making it hard to process the air around him.
Is it her? His mind raced frantically, a cold sweat breaking out across the back of his neck. No. No, it can't be. It's a common name. It’s just a coincidence. Toji is dating someone else. There are thousands of girls with that name in this city. It isn't her.
He needed to hear him deny it. He desperately needed to hear that it was someone else, because if it wasn't, he was going to lose his absolute mind.
"Hopefully not that pathetic nerd from college with the weird personality" Sukuna chuckled, the sound completely hollow, dry, and devoid of any actual humor. He forced a mocking smirk onto his face, desperate to mask the absolute terror rippling through his veins. "The one who thought she was too good more me"
"Pft! Exactly!" Mahito chimed in, completely oblivious to the lethal tension suffocating the room. "Why the hell would Toji ever date her? She was so basic."
Toji didn't blink. He slowly set his beer bottle down on the table, the glass making a sharp, heavy click against the wood. The lazy, relaxed demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a cold, terrifying aura that made even Kenjaku straighten up in alarm.
Toji locked his fierce, piercing green gaze directly onto Sukuna
.
"It's her." Toji stated, his voice dropping into a dangerous, gravelly register that left absolutely no room for interpretation.
Mahito’s jaw dropped. Kenjaku froze with his cigarette halfway to his lips.
Sukuna felt the entire world cave in on him. His lungs completely stopped working. The lighter slipped from his numb fingers, clattering loudly against the table. It was you. You had been hiding in the exact same city, completely out of his reach, and now you belonged to the man sitting right across from him.
Before Sukuna could even process the violent surge of rage and agony tearing through his chest, Toji stood up, his massive frame towering over the table.
"And you are going to watch your fucking mouths when you talk about my girl, alright?" Toji warned, his voice low, steady, and vibrating with a lethal protectiveness. He stepped closer to the table, his eyes cutting into Sukuna and Mahito like knives. "I don't give two fucks what any of you think of me. This exact childish bullshit is the reason I didn't tell you guys in the first place. You’re grown ass men, but you still act like high school kids running a playground."
Toji took a deep breath, his expression shifting from pure anger into a profound, unshakeable seriousness.
"I don't want a single one of you saying a single word about her. Ever. She’s my girl now" Toji continued, his voice softer but infinitely more powerful. "I am so fucking much happy with her. And soon, I’m going to be proposing to her."
Sukuna’s heart completely stopped. Proposing. The word felt like a physical blade ripping through his chest, shredding whatever hope he had secretly carried for the past year into unrecoverable pieces. You were going to marry Toji. You were going to build a life with someone else.
"If you guys can't respect her, and if you can't respect my relationship with her" Toji concluded, his gaze sweeping over the frozen room one last time, "then it's better if I leave this gang right now. I'm done."
"What the fuck?! Are you serious?!" Mahito shrieked, his voice cracking in sheer disbelief as he stared up at Toji.
Toji didn't answer him. He didn't need to. He simply reached down, grabbed his jacket from the back of the couch, and turned his back on them, completely ready to walk away from his oldest friends without a single shred of regret.
And Sukuna could only sit there in the suffocating silence, his fists clenched so tightly beneath the table that his knuckles turned stark white, completely paralyzed by the realization that his own foolish bet had permanently handed the love of his life to his best friend.

Toji fushiguro x f!reader x Ryomen Sukuna
Masterlist
Where reader finds herself trapped in loveless marriage with toji fushiguro who is still grieving for his late wife and that's when she meets her step-son's best friend's uncle Ryomen Sukuna.
Part 1
Marrying Toji Fushiguro wasn't the biggest regret of your life. Falling in love with him was.
It was a quiet, suffocating truth you carried every day. he could not give me the love you had yearned for over the last three years. It wasn’t because he lacked the capacity for affection, but because his heart was already occupied by a ghost.
You had seen the way he looked at the photograph of his late wife, Mamaguro. He kept her pictures hidden deep within the dark corners of his bedroom wardrobe like sacred relics, untouched by the dust of passing years. Tucked safely alongside them were the neat, yellowing ultrasounds of little Megumi. Sometimes, when the house was dead silent and the weight of his emotional absence pressed down on your chest, you wondered.
Maybe I am the other woman.
No. Not maybe. I was the other woman in Toji Fushiguro’s life, permanently eclipsed by a memory.
Yet, you were never an insecure woman, and you never will be. You knew exactly where you stood and the beauty you carried. The world never failed to remind me of it, either. Whenever you stepped outside, eyes followed you, whispers trailed in your wake, and invitations fell at your feet without the slightest effort on your part. You possessed everything a woman could want grace, intelligence, and an arresting presence.
And yet, stupid you. I fell in love with your own husband, a man who remained hopelessly marooned in his own grief, loving a dead woman as if she had never left the room.
You were twenty.six when you met him. You came from a distinguished family, one with deep, unyielding roots in high society and powerful connections that stretched all the way to the Zenin clan. Your father had been strict about my future. he insisted you finish my medical studies before even uttering the word marriage. He wanted his daughter to stand firmly on her own two feet.
And you did. You earned the title you had bled and sweated for through years of sleepless nights.
Doctor.
It felt powerful. It was entirely yours. But even that achievement couldn't grant you autonomy over your own destiny. In the end, your life was bartered away in an arranged marriage a cold, calculated transaction between two powerful dynasties seeking to consolidate their influence. A perfect business deal for everyone involved, except for you.
To this day, you still wonder what grand, unspoken benefit yout father received in exchange for marrying his only daughter off to a thirty one year old widower with a two year old child.
Toji rarely spoke of his late wife to me. Not properly, at least. There were only fragmented, careless sentences dropped into the quiet spaces of our home. “If she were here, life would be better.”. He never said those words to your face, but you heard them. You heard him whisper them late at night, his voice rough and heavy with sorrow as he spoke to a sleeping Megumi. And like a fool, you always listened from the shadows of the hallway.
You raised Megumi. You fed him, bathed him, and held him when he cried. He was, for all intents and purposes, your baby. Sometimes you caught yourself wishing desperately that he had come from your own body. Maybe then, Toji would look at you with even a fraction of the reverence he reserved for the woman in those hidden photographs.
As for our intimacy? It was nothing more than biological transaction. No softness. No lingering warmth. No love.
Occasionally, he would stumble home drunk, his steps uneven and his breath thick with the bitter scent of alcohol. He would pull you against his massive frame, dragging rough, messy kisses down my neck, leading us into an act that felt entirely hollow. It was a completely one sided affair...he was the only one who ever found release in it. Perhaps you vould have found solace in his touch, too if he had ever moaned my name instead of hers.
Today marked your three-year anniversary.
The kitchen was thick with the rich, comforting aroma of chocolate as you whipped up a cake batter from scratch. Soft afternoon sunlight filtered through the windowpane, illuminating the counter where Megumi stood precariously on a stepping stool, proudly acting as yout tiny sous chef. He had just turned five a few months ago, and God, this little human was the absolute absolute apple of your eye.
"Do you want chocolate or vanilla frosting, baby?" You asked gently, glancing down at his round face.
"No vanilla! Only chocolate! Lots and lots of chocolate, Mama!" Megumi bounced on his heels, his small hands gripping the edge of the marble counter with pure excitement.
You chuckled softly, the sound cutting through the usual quiet of the house. "Alright, whatever my baby wants."
As you continued folding the batter, Megumi launched into a non stop, animated monologue about his day at preschool. He talked about his teachers, his messy finger paintings, and, inevitably, his best friend.
"Yuji!!"
"Why don’t you invite Yuji over to play one day?" You suggested with a warm smile, watching his dark eyes instantly light up.
"YES! Yuji is the best! He’ll come over, and we can play with my blocks!" He paused, his expression turning entirely serious as he leaned closer to whisper, "Mama! Did you know he has pink hair?! Real pink hair!"
A soft, bittersweet emotion swelled in your chest at the word Mama. He had called you that for as long as he could remember. The very first time the word had slipped past his toddler lips, Toji had been furious. The dark, terrifying anger that had flashed across my husband's face spoke volumes. that sacred title belonged to someone else. To her. But as time wore on, Toji simply stopped reacting. Or perhaps, he just stopped caring entirely.
"Does he?" You replied softly, smoothing down his wild, spiky locks. "Pink hair sounds very pretty, doesn't it?"
"YES! Will my hair turn pink too when I grow up?" Megumi asked, wrapping his small arms around your leg and looking up at me with wide, hopeful eyes.
I let out a genuine laugh, leaning down to brush a stray strand from his forehead. "I don't think so, sweetheart. Your hair is just like your dad’s.dark, long, and beautiful. Maybe Yuji got his bright hair from his mom or dad."
Carefully, you transferred the cake pan into the preheated oven, the sudden wave of heat brushing against my face before you clicked the door shut. You knelt down to his level, pressing a tender kiss against his warm cheek.
"Is it your birthday, Mama?" he asked suddenly, tilting his head.
You blinked, momentarily caught off guard. "No, baby. Why do you ask?"
"Then why are we making a special cake?"
You took his small hand in yours, leading him out of the kitchen and toward the living room couch. "Because today is the day your dada and I got married. It’s our anniversary, Megumi."
"Ohhh..." He nodded with immense childhood gravity. Then, a spark of pure mischief returned to his eyes. "So... do I still get to eat the chocolate part?"
"Of course you do, my love. I made it chocolate just for you." You pulled him into your lap, kissing his cheeks until he dissolved into a fit of giggles.
Suddenly, a heavy knock echoed through the house, followed by the sharp chime of the doorbell.
"It’s Papa!" Megumi shouted, slipping out of my grip and sprinting toward the front entryway. He threw the door open and immediately launched himself forward.
Toji caught him effortlessly with one powerful arm, lifting the boy against his chest and pressing a brief, rough kiss to his forehead. "Hey, sea urchin" Toji muttered, his deep voice carrying its usual gravelly cadence.
"Papa! Mama said Yuji can come over to our house! Can he? Please?" Megumi pleaded, his hands clutching Toji's dark shirt.
Toji didn't look at you, His gaze remained entirely fixed on his son. "Did she? That pink haired kid from your class? Yeah, fine... he can come, if both of you actually behave."
"Thank you!" Megumi cheered, planting a messy kiss on Toji's scarred cheek before sliding down to the floor, instantly distracted by the television program playing in the living room.
You stood up slowly, smoothing down the front of your clothes as you approached your husband. "Hey-
"Is dinner ready?" Toji cut in smoothly, loosening the tight knot of his tie without a single glance in your direction.
The greeting died in your throat. You swallowed down the lump of familiar disappointment. "...Yeah. It's ready."
"I'm going upstairs to freshen up" he said flatly, tossing his briefcase onto the entryway chair and ascending the stairs. Moments later, the distant, steady hum of the shower filled the suffocating silence of the house.
"Mama?" Megumi’s quiet voice called out from the couch. "Does Papa know about the marriage day?"
You forced a flawless, practiced smile to my lips, turning to face him. "Maybe he just forgot, baby. Grown ups have a lot on their minds."
I walked back into the kitchen, silently reheating the food over the stove. "Megumi, come wash your hands. It’s time to eat. I’ll cut the cake right after."
He ran to the bathroom, returning a few seconds later to clamber into his usual seat. "Good job, baby" you murmured, sitting down directly beside him.
"How was preschool, urchin?" Toji’s voice cut through the quiet as he re entered the dining area, clad in a simple black t-shirt and grey sweatpants, his damp hair clinging to his neck.
"Good! We drew pictures today!" Megumi replied happily.
Toji took his seat directly across from us, pulling a plate toward himself and beginning to eat with silent efficiency.
"How was your day at the office?" You asked gently, trying to bridge the gap between you both
"Good."
You squeezed my napkin beneath the table, taking a shallow breath. "...Do you know what today is, Toji?"
"Friday."
"Dad! No!" Megumi interrupted, his mouth slightly full of rice. "It’s the marriage day! Yours and Mama’s!"
Toji’s chopsticks paused mid-air. He looked up, his dark, unreadable eyes shifting across the table. "Hm? Today is April 4th, kid. Not October 17th."
October 17th.
The date struck your chest like a physical blow. That was the day he had married her
"Dad, it's yours and Mama's anniversary" Megumi insisted, entirely unaware of the invisible knife his father had just driven into your heart. "Mama even made a big chocolate cake for you!"
Toji shrugged indifferently, returning to his food as if the conversation meant nothing. "Really? Sounds nice. But I don't think I’ll have room for cake after dinner."
That was it. No apology. No acknowledgment. Nothing more.
You looked over at Megumi, who was staring at you with a confused, slightly fallen expression. You reached over, gently rubbing his small shoulder. "Just finish your dinner, sweetie. Then you and I will cut the cake together" you said softly, forcing your voice to remain entirely steady.
Toji finished his plate in a matter of minutes, setting his utensils down with a dull clatter. He stood up, leaning down to press a brief kiss to Megumi’s head. "I’ll be in my room upstairs. Let me know if you need anything. On Sunday, I'll take you to the arcade. It’s my day off."
"Yay!" Megumi cheered, his childhood disappointment vanishing in an instant.
And just like that, Toji turned and left the room, his heavy footsteps fading up the stairs.
"Mama..." Megumi whispered suddenly. He slid out of his chair and crept over to your side, wrapping his small, warm arms around my neck. "You’re the best. I love you."
A genuine, emotional smile finally broke through your mask. You pulled him tightly against your chest, buryin your face in his neck. "Thank you, Megumi. I love you more. So much more."
"Don't be sad" he murmured into my ear, patting my back with his tiny hand. "Dad always forgets things. One time he even forgot to buy me the toy cars he promised."
"And sometimes Dad wears his stinky socks two days in a row" he whispers making you crinkling your nose in mock disgust.
Megumi let out a bright, ringing laugh that completely shattered the lingering gloom in the room.
"See? I'm not sad at all, Megumi. How could I ever be sad when I have a wonderful boy like you?" You pulled back, wiping a stray crumb from his chin. "Now, who wants a massive slice of chocolate cake?"
"ME!"
"Sleep well, my love" you whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to Megumi’s forehead as he curled beneath his heavy blankets.
"Night night, Mama" he mumbled sleepily, his eyelids already fluttering shut.
You smiled softly, lingering for a moment to brush a stray lock of dark hair from his face before clicking off the lamp. You slipped out of his room, closing the door with absolute care to ensure the latch didn't click too loudly.
The house was completely dark, enveloped in a heavy, suffocating silence. As you walked down the hallway toward the guest room where you slept, you noticed a sharp sliver of pale light cutting through the slightly ajar door of Toji’s bedroom. You hesitated, your fingers curling into the fabric of your dress. After a long, agonizing moment of internal debate, you approached the door and knocked softly.
"Hey... it’s me" you murmured into the darkness.
"Come in" his gruff, low voice responded.
You pushed the door open and stepped inside. Toji was sitting propped up against the headboard of the bed, a sleek laptop resting on his thighs. The cold, blue glow of the screen illuminated the harsh, sharp angles of his face, casting deep shadows beneath his eyes. His sleeves were rolled tightly up his forearms, his collar unbuttoned. He looked completely exhausted from overtime, yet his fingers continued to fly across the keyboard.
"Still working?" You asked quietly, standing near the foot of the bed.
He didn't stop typing, his dark eyes fixed entirely on the screen. "Someone has to work so you can buy whatever the hell you want and put food on the table, right?"
You froze, the sheer, unprovoked hostility of his words catching you completely off guard. A sudden, annoyance flared in your chest.
"Toji?" You demanded, my voice dropping an octave.
He finally clicked his tongue, shutting the laptop with a sharp snap and tossing it onto the nightstand. "Tch. Calm down, woman. Do you actually have something useful to say, or did you just come in here to waste my time?"
The insult stung, radiating deep into your chest, but you refused to let him see me falter. You stood your ground, your hands curling into tight fists at my sides.
"Can you at least try to be a decent human being?" You said, your voice tightening with a mixture of anger and exhaustion. "I am not asking you to love me back, Toji. I have never asked you for that."
He remained silent, his expression a mask of absolute indifference.
"I left my career for this" you continued, your voice trembling slightly as the buried resentment of the past three years finally began to leak out. "The job I bled for. I studied half my life to become a licensed doctor, and I threw it all away because our families wanted a perfect little housewife to take care of you and your son."
Toji’s expression didn’t even flicker. He leaned back against the headboard, his gaze cold and detached. "I never asked you to marry me, Y/n" he replied, his voice completely devoid of emotion. "You had a choice back then. You should have had the guts to decline the arrangement."
Each word felt like a physical slap across your face, stripping away the last remnants of your dignity.
"And I’m not some loving husband who comes home, makes sweet talk, and acts like a prince" he added flatly. "I am not that man."
Your chest felt so tight you could barely breathe. You shook your head slowly, looking at the stranger sitting in front of you. "No" I whispered, a single tear finally escaping my eye. "You are that man, Toji. You are capable of all of those things." Your voice cracked on the last word. "...Just not with me."
A heavy, dead silence descended upon the room. Toji didn't look at you. He simply reached over, reopened his laptop, and allowed the cold blue light to wash over his features once more.
"If you already know it" he said, his voice entirely flat as his fingers resumed typing "then stop trying."
And just like that, you became completely invisible again.
Toji left before the sun even broke the horizon the next morning. Like always, even on a beautiful Saturday, he chose the clinical isolation of his office over everything else. He had secured that executive position effortlessly, a direct byproduct of the Zenin family name. Some people were born with the entire world handed to them on a silver platter, while others worked their entire lives only to end up as nothing more than an unappreciated housewife.
You forced the bitter thoughts from my mind as you prepared a light breakfast for Megumi. You ate a few bites yourself, though the food tasted entirely like ash.
You refused to let Toji's misery ruin today. Megumi had been vibrating with pure excitement since the moment he woke up. Sometimes, looking at his pure, unburdened joy, you found myself wishing desperately that you could be a child again to watch silly cartoons, eat whatever you wanted, and have absolutely no concept of marital neglect. But unfortunately, you were a wife now.
you went to the bedroom and changed into something fresh. a beautiful white polka-dot dress that flowed softly around your knees, paired with elegant kitten heels. It was simple, tasteful, but undeniable in its beauty. You packed a small canvas bag with extra cash, wet wipes, and a container of sliced fruit, just in case the boys got hungry after running around all day.
"Mama! Are we leaving now?!" Megumi’s voice echoed loudly from the front entryway.
"Almost, sweetie" you called back, stepping out of the bedroom and adjusting my hair. "Do you need help tying your sneakers?"
He shook his head with immense childhood confidence, fiercely tugging at his laces. "No, Mama! I'm a big boy. I got it!"
You smiled faintly, leaning against the wall. "Megumi... did you ever get Yuji’s mom or dad’s phone number? So I can call them and discuss?"
"I don't know" he replied casually, completely focused on a double-knot.
I paused, a heavy brow arching. Hell no. "...Then how exactly are we supposed to meet up with him today, Megumi?"
"He knows we’re coming!" Megumi insisted, looking up with wide eyes. "And I know exactly where his house is! Let’s just go get him!"
You let out a soft sigh, rubbing the bridge of your nose. "Sweetie, it’s not a bad idea, but what if his parents aren’t home? Or what if they have no idea we're coming?"
"Yuji lives with his uncle! He has pink hair too, and he's super cool!" Megumi added excitedly, jumping to his feet.
You chuckled softly at his enthusiasm. "Alright, alright. We can try. I just hope his uncle doesn’t mind a surprise visit."
You took his small, warm hand in yours as you both stepped out into the crisp morning air, locking the heavy front door behind us. The breeze was refreshing, brushing gently against my skin as Megumi led the way down the neighborhood sidewalk.
"So... you're absolutely certain you know the way?" I asked, glancing down at him.
"Yeah! I promise!" he said proudly. Then, he paused, looking slightly guilty. "...Don't get mad, Mama, but one day when preschool got cancelled early because of the rain, Yuji's uncle picked us both up. He took us to his house, and we ate giant bowls of ice cream!"
You stopped dead in your tracks, your grip tightening slightly on his hand. "...He did what!?"
Megumi quickly rambled on, trying to salvage the situation. "His uncle is so cool, Mama! He has this massive motorcycle! It goes vroom vroom! It's so big!" He waved his arms wildly in the air to demonstrate the scale of the bike.
You let out a long breath, pinching the bridge of your nose. Kids. More specifically, yours
After ten more minutes of walking and listening to Megumi's endless chatter, you finally arrived at the address. You stopped at the edge of the property, your eyes widening slightly.
The house was massive. It was a beautiful, expansive traditional estate that quietly screamed old, unyielding wealth. The architectural details were immaculate. For a fleeting second, a wild thought crossed your mind. What if Yuji’s family is involved in some high level organized crime? What if the pink hair is some sort of secret syndicate code? You shook your head violently. No, the lingering stress from your fight with Toji was clearly making you lose your mind.
Before you could even open your mouth to instruct him on manners, Megumi broke away from your side, sprinting up the stone steps to the massive front door and repeatedly slamming his thumb against the doorbell.
"Megumi, stop! Don't ring it so many times-"
The heavy oak door suddenly swung open with a sharp, aggressive motion.
"What is it, brat?" a deep, thoroughly irritated voice growled.
You froze completely, the words dying in your throat.
Standing in the massive doorway was a man who looked like he had stepped out of an entirely different dimension. Dark, sharp, intricate markings like tattoos etched across his face and muscular shoulders. His vibrant pink hair was wild, messy, and slightly damp from a recent shower.
And he wasn’t wearing a shirt.
For a fraction of a second, your medical brain completely shut down, replaced by a wave of pure, unadulterated aesthetic shock. He was... Handsome. No, he was dangerously attractive. His chest was broad, defined by hard lines of lean muscle, and his posture oozed an immense, predatory confidence.
His sharp, reddish eyes flicked down to meet yours. Slowly, deliberately, his gaze trailed down the length of your body, mapping the curve of your chest beneath the polka dot dress, down to your hips, before traveling back up to meet your face.
Is this man seriously checking me out on his doorstep? you thought, a sudden flush of heat rising to your cheeks. His gaze was sharp, intensely observant, and entirely unapologetic.
"And who the hell are you?" he asked, his voice a low, gravelly baritone that vibrated right through the air.
For some inexplicable reason, a strange, electric jolt traveled down your spine the moment your eyes locked with those piercing crimson irises. You quickly snapped out of your daze, clearing your throat and adopting your most polite, professional demeanor.
"Good morning. I apologize for the intrusion, you must be Yuji's father-"
"No, Mama! He's Yuji's uncle!" Megumi loudly corrected, pulling at your dress.
The man raised a sharp eyebrow, a flicker of genuine curiosity passing over his marked features as he processed the word Mama. You could practically see the gears turning in his head as he evaluated the dynamic between you.
"Oh-I mean, I'm Megumi's mother." you said offering a soft, apologetic smile. "The boys apparently planned an entire trip to the amusement park today. I didn't have your contact information, so we ended up walking over. I truly hope we aren't disrupting your morning-"
The man let out a wide, unbothered yawn right in the middle of your sentence, completely cutting you off. He leaned his heavy shoulder against the doorframe, making absolutely no effort to hide the fact that he did not give a single fuck about social etiquette. Great, another arrogant man. Why are they all like this?
"Brat! Your friend is here! Get your ass downstairs!" he roared back into the house. He stepped aside, opening the massive door wider and gesturing for you to come in with a lazy flick of his wrist. "I'm Ryomen Sukuna" he added shortly.
You opened your mouth to politely decline the invitation to step inside, but Megumi was already slipping past him, sprinting into the grand entryway just as Yuji came tearing down the stairs. The two boys collided in an explosion of giggles and an enthusiastic high five, their laughter instantly filling the cavernous house.
Looking at Yuji's bright, beaming face, a soft smile automatically tugged at your lips.
"Hello, sweetheart. You must be Yuji" you said warmly, stepping into the foyer.
"Hello, Mrs. Zenin! It's super duper nice to meet you! You're reallyyyy really pretty!" Yuji chirped, his eyes sparkling with childhood innocence.
You blinked, completely charmed, before letting out a soft laugh. "Aw, thank you, Yuji. But please, just call me Y/n, okay? There’s no need to be so formal with me." Megumi hadn't been exaggerating.Yuji was an absolutely a sweetheart. He is well-mannered, with warmth that was entirely refreshing. Thank God Megumi had found such a good influence.
You glanced around the elegant hallway, your eyes inadvertently searching for Sukuna. A moment later, he walked back down the main corridor this time clad in a crisp, dark button-down shirt.
Thank God.
"I'm tagging along" Sukuna stated casually, already pulling a silver lighter and a cigarette from his pocket as he walked past you toward the front door.
You blinked, momentarily thrown. "Oh... I-of course. If you'd like."
"How are you planning to get to the park?" he asked, pausing at the threshold.
"The public bus, I guess The route isn't that far from this side of town."
"The bus?" Sukuna repeated, pausing as he raised a sharp eyebrow. He looked at you as if you had just suggested you walk barefoot across a bed of hot coals. He let out a dark chuckle, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a heavy set of keys. "Nah, I'm driving."
You hummed in quiet agreement, a sudden feeling of relief washing over you. "Alright. Thank you."
Neon Tracks and Twisted Rollercoasters
You followed him out to the driveway, the two boys sprinting ahead of you like an unstoppable pack of energetic puppies.
"Can we go on the motorcycle, Uncle Kuna?!" Yuji yelled with excitement
Sukuna let out a sharp snort, unlocking a black big jeep instead. "And where the heck are you going to sit, brat? On top of my head? Get in the back."
You let out a quiet sigh to yourself, smoothing down the skirt of your polka dot dress as you climbed into the leather passenger seat. This is going to be an incredibly long day.
As Sukuna pulled out of the driveway, the boys launched into a loud, endless debate in the backseat about video game mechanics that you couldn't even begin to comprehend. Their high-pitched voices blurred into a comfortable background hum. You pulled out your phone, mindlessly scrolling through various clothing apps to pass the time, but even the digital consumerism grew boring after a few miles.
You glanced sideways at the man behind the wheel. His large hands held the steering wheel with casual authority, the dark markings on his skin shifting with every turn. Perhaps you should attempt to be polite.
"Thank you again for driving us, Mr. Ryomen" you said gently, breaking the silence.
"Hm" he grunted, his gaze fixed entirely on the road ahead.
...Right. Of course. Another man of few words. You quietly slid your phone back into your bag, deciding to look out the window instead.
"You're married to that Zenin guy?" Sukuna asked suddenly, his deep voice cutting through the vehicle's interior.
You turned your head, slightly surprised by the question. "Yes. Toji Fushiguro. He actually prefers to go by Fushiguro now."
"Fushiguro? Isn't he a direct descendant of the Zenin main branch?" Sukuna asked, a strange, knowing glint in his tone.
"He took... his late wife's surname" you murmured, your voice automatically dropping to a quiet whisper, ensuring the boys in the back wouldn't overhear.
"And the kid?"
"He's not biologically mine" you said softly, your eyes softening as you glanced in the rearview mirror at Megumi's smiling face. "...But I love him and treat him as if he were my own."
There was a long, palpable pause in the car. The heavy silence stretched between you for a few moments before you decided to shift the focus. "What about Yuji's parents? Are they currently traveling out of town?"
"Nah. They're dead" Sukuna answered, his tone completely flat, as if he were commenting on the afternoon weather.
The sheer, unvarnished bluntness of his statement hit you harder than the actual words. You sat frozen for a second, unsure of what unsettled you more the tragic reality of Yuji's situation, or the absolute ease with which Sukuna delivered the news.
"I... I am so incredibly sorry" you whispered.
"It's fine. The brat doesn't really care" Sukuna shrugged, navigating through a busy intersection. "He was barely a year old when they passed. At this point, I’m his mother, his father... hell, I'm probably his grandparents too."
A quiet, genuine chuckle escaped your lips at the mental image. "He's an exceptionally good boy, Sukuna. Very well mannered and sweet."
"definitely didn't inherit that from me" he muttered.
He glanced at you briefly, his scarlet eyes locking onto yours for a fraction of a second. Up close, you really took him in the impossibly sharp contour of his jawline, the faint shadow of stubble that dusted his skin, and the dangerous, magnetic aura that clung to him like a second skin.
"Is it difficult?" you asked softly, your voice laced with genuine empathy. "Raising a child entirely on your own?"
"Nah" he said, his gaze returning to the highway. "He's easy to handle."
Within twenty minutes, the sprawling gates of the amusement park appeared in the distance. During the ride, through a few more sparse questions, you discovered that Sukuna was twenty-nine years old.the exact same age as you and that he balanced working at a mechanical garage with studying advanced law. The revelation thoroughly surprised you. he carried himself with the heavy, unyielding weight of someone far older and deadlier, yet he was entirely intelligent.
The moment the SUV parked, the back doors flew open, and the boys practically tumbled out onto the asphalt.
"Where are we going first?!" Megumi shouted, bouncing on his feet.
"I don't care, I'm already starving!" Yuji pouted, rubbing his stomach.
"You are literally always hungry, Yuji!"
"I brought plenty of snacks" you chimed in with a laugh, stepping out of the car and pulling a container from your bag. "But we can definitely get a proper lunch in a little bit."
The boys eagerly grabbed the fruit slices, their petty argument instantly forgotten as they began to chew.
"I want to ride that one first!" Yuji yelled, pointing a sticky finger toward an impossibly tall, terrifying steel rollercoaster that loomed over the entire park, filled with vertical drops and inversions.
Megumi raised a skeptical eyebrow, crossing his arms. "Are you sure? You’ll get scared and pee in your pants through."
"Megumi-that is not nice. Apologize" you scolded gently, though you struggled to hide your smile.
"The kid isn't wrong" Sukuna muttered from beside you, striking a match and taking a long, slow drag from his cigarette.
You stubbornly pretended you hadn't heard that.
"How about we start with that one instead?" you suggested, pointing toward a much smaller significantly less life-threatening coaster nearby.
"YES!" both boys cheered in unison, immediately sprinting toward the entrance gate. Sukuna and you fell into step behind them, walking at a more leisurely pace.
"you work?" he asked suddenly, exhaling a thin cloud of gray smoke into the air.
"I used to. Not anymore" you replied, a small twinge of old sorrow touching your heart.
"Where?"
"At the university hospital. It’s actually only a few blocks from this area."
"So you are adoctor?" he asked, glancing down at you.
You blinked, thoroughly surprised by his lack of skepticism. A bright smile broke across your face. "You're actually the very first person to assume that correctly. Usually, when I tell people I worked at a hospital, they immediately assume I was a nurse. Not that nursing isn't an incredible profession, but... you understand what I mean, right?"
Sukuna slowed his pace slightly, his crimson eyes raking over your smiling face. A slow, faint smirk tugged at the corner of his marked lips. "I get it, Dr." he said, his voice dropping into a low, dangerously charming cadence.
By the time the late afternoon arrived, the kids were thoroughly exhausted, their faces sticky from cotton candy, but they were radiantly happy. You had gone on a dozen rides, shared a massive lunch, and laughed until your stomachs ached. For the first time in three long years, the heavy, suffocating weight in your chest felt entirely absent. You felt light. You felt alive.
"Uncle Kuna! Are you too scared to ride that one?!" Yuji teased, pointing back toward the monstrous, towering rollercoaster from earlier.
You let out a soft laugh, shifting your tote bag to your other shoulder. Sukuna glared down at his nephew, his eyes narrowing. "I am not scared of a piece of scrap metal, brat."
"are you sure sukuna?" you teased, stepping closer to him with a playful glint in your eyes. "I think you're slightly terrified. I bet you'd scream the loudest."
"Oh?" Sukuna’s entire focus instantly shifted to you. A dark, incredibly intense look flashed within his scarlet eyes as his smirk widened. "Is that a challenge, Mrs. Zenin?"
"Mm-hm. Maybe it is."
"Then you're coming with me."
"Wait-what?! No, absolutely not! I can't handle drops like that-"
Before you could even attempt to take a step backward, Sukuna’s large hand shot forward, wrapping firmly around your wrist. His grip was incredibly warm, entirely unyielding, and completely solid as he effortlessly dragged you toward it.
"That’s exactly what you get for teasing me,woman" he chuckled darkly.
And before your racing heart could even settle, you were securely strapped into the front row of the coaster, a heavy metal lap bar pinning you into place.
You gripped the safety bar with white-knuckled intensity, your heart hammering against your ribs like a trapped bird. "Oh my God... Sukuna, I hate you."
He leaned his head back against the seat, completely relaxed as he cut a sideways glance at you. "Let's see who screams first, sweetheart."
With a sudden, mechanical jerk, the rollercoaster started moving, slowly climbing up an incredibly steep, vertical incline toward the sky. You closed your eyes tightly, your stomach violently twisting into knots as the ground drifted further and further away. You genuinely regretted every single life choice that had led you to this moment.
The train plummeted.
The world dissolved into a blur of rushing wind and pure gravity. A loud, uncontrollable scream tore out of your throat as the coaster twisted, dropped, and flipped upside down at breakneck speeds. Your stomach violently rebelled, the horizon spinning entirely out of control. Without a single coherent thought, your hand flew sideways, blindly searching for an anchor, and gripped Sukuna's hand. Your nails dug fiercely into his skin, clinging to him as if he were the only solid object left in the universe.
"I'm dying! Stop the ride! Tell them to stop it!" you shrieked into the wind.
And Sukuna?
Sukuna was throwing his head back and laughing. Actually, genuinely laughing. The sound was wild, booming, and completely ecstatic, echoing over the roar of the tracks.
"Maybe you shouldn't have opened your freaking mouth woman!" he shouted back, his large fingers unexpectedly curling back around yours, locking your hands together in a crushing, protective grip that didn't let go until the ride finally ground to a screeching halt.
The moment the safety bar unlocked, you practically tumbled out of the seat, your legs shaking like water. You barely made it to a nearby trash can before completely throwing up your lunch, your entire body spinning as if the world were still upside down.
The poor kids looked on with wide, worried eyes, but Sukuna? He stood a few feet away, leaning against a railing with his hands in his pockets, looking like he had just experienced the absolute best moment of his entire life.
"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up," you muttered a few minutes later, wiping your mouth with a tissue and glaring at him with absolutely no real anger. "Very funny, Mr. Ryomen, you are going to remind me this till the end of my life??"
"of course" he smirked, stepping forward and gently handing you a fresh bottle of cold water. "Every single day."
By the time evening painted the sky in deep shades of violet and orange, the sheer exhaustion of the day had finally caught up to the boys. They were both fast asleep in the backseat of the Jeep their heads leaning against each other as the car smoothly glided down the highway.
You leaned your head back against the leather headrest, staring out at the passing streetlights. The quiet cabin of the car felt incredibly peaceful.
Sukuna offered to drive you and Megumi to your house, which you wanted to decline but exhaustion took you over, and calling for a cab or waiting for a bus felt like a hustle at this time.
The car is quieter now. Softer.
"It was fun today" you ay, leaning your head slightly against the window. "Except for the... throwing up part."
"I'd say that was the best part" Sukuna grins.
"Tsk."
You hesitate for a moment before speaking again. You didn't knew why were you getting nervous so suddenly, maybe it was very first time you had hang out with another man that's not Toji.
"Can I have your number?"
He raises a brow. "Aren't you married, Mrs. Zenin? I'm an innocent man, you know. I don't-”
"For the kids" you cut him off quickly. "So I don't have to show up at your house unannounced. Also I would never cheat on my husband, Mr. Ryomen, I lov my husband" you roll my eyes
Love my husband. those words feel really odd sometimes, you do, but does he? Will you ever be able to feel loved by toji? Or the unconditional love toji has for his wife, would anyone will be able to love you.
"I never said you don't" Sukuna says breaking you out your thoughts
He chuckles, taking your phone and typing his number in.
We arrive home.
You gently shake Megumi awake. "We're here.”
"Need help?" Sukuna asks.
"No, it's okay. Thank you... for today." You smile. "We should do this again sometime."
He just nods.
You watch his car for a second after stepping out until the front door opens.
And there he is.
Toji.
His eyes flick from me... to the direction of the car that just drove away.
"Who was that?" he asks.

Domestic fluff, papakuna with his daughter Mimi
Part 1 part 2
Part 3
Sukuna stood by the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on Mimi as she nursed with content, rhythmic quietness. He could swear his heart swelled to a painful, heavy size every single time he looked at his daughter. He loved Yuji fiercely Yuji was his firstborn, the boy who had taught him how to be a father but there was something about Mimi’s tiny presence that brought a sharp, unfiltered joy straight to his chest.
He loved being a dad. More than anything, he loved being a dad because you were the one by his side, the one who shared the weight and the warmth of these children.
With a soft, wet pop, Mimi let go of your breast She released a tiny, satisfied coo, her chest rising and falling with milk drunk happiness. You chuckled softly, your thumb gently brushing through her messy, vibrant pink hair to clear it from her forehead.
Lying flat on his side beside you, Sukuna propped his head up with one large hand, staring intently at the infant. Mimi blinked, her dark eyes focusing on her daddy for a long, quiet minute. A slow, familiar smirk spread across Sukuna’s face. He leaned down and tapped the tip of her button nose with a massive, tattooed finger, making her lips part into a wide smile. Instantly, her chubby arms reached upward, demanding him.
Sukuna moved with practiced efficiency, scooping her up and settling her small body over his broad shoulder to burp her.
"Now you’re all happy and full, huh?" Sukuna murmured. His voice dropped to a gravelly, affectionate rumble as he gently patted her back. He turned his head slightly, pressing a soft kiss against her small forehead.
You watched them, a quiet warmth settling over you as you began fastening the buttons of your blouse. Suddenly, Sukuna’s eyes snapped toward you, his gaze sharp and entirely serious.
"What do you think you're doing? It’s my turn to taste" he said, his face a mask of stern, unyielding demand that instantly broke your composure.
"Pfft-and who exactly is going to take care of Mimi while my big, strong husband nurses?" you teased, shifting your weight on the mattress
Sukuna let out a low grunt of annoyance, his chest vibrating against the baby. "You're forgetting we have Yuji."
You rolled your eyes, a fond smile tugging at the corner of your lips. "Just because he’s fifteen doesn't mean he has to play babysitter every time his parents want to be busy."
"Damn, stop being so mean" Sukuna sighed.
He stood up, cradl carrying Mimi as he walked toward the balcony doors. He didn't step outside. the air was a bit too crisp, and Mimi was only wearing a simple, light onesie. He knew how easily a five month old could catch a chill. Instead he just looked out through the glass, holding her close. Mimi nuzzled her face deeper into the crook of his neck, letting out a faint, sleepy noise. Sukuna’s chest tightened with a sudden wave of fierce protectiveness, his large arms shifting to hug her tiny body just a little closer.
"I carried that kid for nine months" you murmured from the bed, your tone laced with a playful, victimized jealousy, "and she still turned out to be your exact carbon copy."
Sukuna smirked, turning back toward you. He gently stroked the top of Mimi’s head, his fingers tracing the bright pink strands. "I bet our third one will look just like you."
You snorted loudly. "Yeah, you wish."
"I definitely do" he countered smoothly.
Walking back to the bed, he climbed back onto the mattress, sliding close enough that his heat radiated against your side. He laid Mimi down between the two of you, propping her up slightly. The moment her eyes found yours, she flashed a wide, gummy smile that made your core melt.
"Oh, that’s Mommy’s favorite smile" you cooed, leaning down to plant a loud, smacking kiss right on her chubby cheek.
Mimi burst into a fit of giggles, squirming so much that her balance gave way and she began to tumble backward. Before she could even hit the mattress, Sukuna’s hand darted out, catching her securely against the pillows. His paternal instincts were terrifyingly fast, always on high alert.
Your eyes met Sukuna’s over the baby's head. A shared, heavy sigh escaped you both the exhaustion of parenthood momentarily caught up in the profound gratitude of the life you had built over seventeen years. Sukuna leaned in closer, his dark eyes locking onto yours. You reached out, your fingers wrapping gently around his thick forearm as you leaned forward to meet him.
The kiss was slow, deep, and thick with history. It was a quiet acknowledgement of everything you had survived together, a silent thank-you for the peace you now held.
"Yaaa!"
Mimi’s sharp, indignant shriek broke the silence. You both pulled back, breaking into soft chuckles at the sight of the baby staring up at you with a thoroughly annoyed expression. She absolutely loathed it when the attention wasn't on her.
Sukuna chuckled, picking her up by her underarms and placing her directly onto his stomach as he sank his head back onto the pillow. "Look at my princess" he murmured, watching with sheer amusement as Mimi immediately began to tug at his shirt, slapping her tiny hands rhythmically against his solid, scarred abdomen.
You shifted, resting your head heavily against Sukuna’s shoulder. His free arm instinctively came around your waist, his massive hand anchoring you against his side. Together, you both watched Mimi, who had suddenly become fascinated by her own hands, opening and closing her chubby fingers with intense concentration.
Slowly, she began to crawl up his torso, dragging her knees until she was hovering directly over his face.
"What do you need?" Sukuna asked, his voice incredibly gentle, as if expecting the five.month old to give him a full report.
Mimi merely stared down at him, her little face twisting into a comical expression of absolute gravity. Sukuna let out a sharp snort. "Yes, baby? What is it?"
Mimi opened her mouth wide and promptly leaned down, clamping her gums right over Sukuna’s nose.
You burst out laughing as Sukuna let out a long, long suffering sigh beneath the baby.
"Wow. I bet that doesn't taste half as good as the milk" Sukuna muttered dryly. He reached up, his large fingers gently squeezing her chubby cheeks until she released his face, leaving a thick trail of drool right across his chest.
"Alright, that's enough out of you." Sukuna lifted her, shifting her into the space between your bodies. He used the edge of his sleeve to wipe the dampness from his skin, though there was no real annoyance in his actions. his daughter could pull his hair out and he would probably just smile.
"Hey, baby" you cooed, leaning over her.
Mimi ignored you, her attention entirely captured by her own feet. She stared down at her tiny socks, her eyebrows knitting together in a look of pure irritation. She grabbed at her foot, tugging viciously to rid herself of the fabric. When the sock refused to budge, she looked up and slapped Sukuna’s arm in frustration.
"What? You need some help?" Sukuna smirked, propping himself up on one elbow. "I’ll help you out, but you have to say papa first."
Mimi glared at him, let out a sharp, demanding "Nya!", and patted his arm again, pointing aggressively at her foot.
Sukuna’s expression softened instantly, his bravado crumbling. "Such a little brat" he sighed, his fingers working quickly to slide the tiny socks off her feet. He tossed them toward the nightstand, then leaned down to plant a lingering kiss on the sole of her bare foot. "I’m going to eat you up if you don't stop being so adorable, for God's sake."
He leaned completely over her, showering her face, neck, and belly with a rapid barrage of loud, raspberry kisses. Mimi's high.pitched giggles filled the bedroom, loud and unrestrained.
"Daddy’s favorite sound" Sukuna murmured against her cheek, kissing her ten more times for good measure.
You watched them, your chest aching with a profound sense of completeness.
"But..." Sukuna paused, turning his dark gaze up to meet yours, his voice dropping into something far more intimate, "...I still prefer my wife’s laughter more."
Your heart did a familiar flutter, a small chuckle escaping you.
Mimi, sensing the shift in attention again, wiggled away from her father’s hands and scrambled toward you, patting your stomach with both palms.
"Mhm? You want to sit on Mommy’s belly now?" you asked softly, stroking her cheek. Mimi offered you that radiant, gummy smile before burying her face right into your shirt, nuzzling against your skin.
"She probably misses being inside your belly" Sukuna remarked, his hand coming over to rest on the baby’s back, his fingers tangling in her pink hair.
"Maybe" you whispered, rubbing her small back. Mimi opened her mouth, closing it experimentally as another wave of heavy drool began to soak through the fabric of your top.
"And I miss being inside my wife’s-"
"Sukuna!" you snapped, cutting him off with a sharp, warning glare.
He laughed, leaning over to press a quick, placating kiss to your cheek. The sudden movement made Mimi instantly look up from your stomach, her little eyes narrowed.
"The demon awakes" Sukuna teased, pulling back an inch. "Relax, brat, I’m not stealing your mommy."
Mimi ignored him entirely. With a look of fierce, unbothered determination, she began to climb higher up your stomach, her tiny knees digging into your skin until she reached her destination.
"Such an explorer" you murmured, supporting her hips. Sukuna chuckled softly beside you.
Without warning, Mimi opened her mouth wide and bit down hard right over your blouse, clamping onto your breast. You gasped in surprise, though it didn't actually hurt since she had no teeth to speak of. She began tugging at the fabric, trying desperately to bypass the barrier of your shirt, sucking aggressively through the cloth. You let out a defeated sigh, adjusting your position to just let her do what she wanted.
Sukuna watched the display, his expression shifting into something unusually quiet, almost heavy. "At this point, the kids are having way more fun with you than I am."
You blinked, looking at him in genuine shock. There was a faint, dark flush creeping up his neckan expression that looked entirely foreign on a man like him. Your husband of seventeen years was many things, but shy was never one of them.
"Are you actually blushing right now?" you smirked, leaning back against the pillows.
Sukuna shook his head sharply, his eyes tracing the large, wet circle of drool Mimi was leaving across your chest. "You look so fucking sexy" he grunted, closing his eyes for a brief second as if trying to muster some semblance of control. "I’m a patient man for a lot of things, Y/n. but when it comes to you, I swear to God..."
You chuckled softly, reaching down to gently pull your chubby daughter away from your shirt. The moment you moved her, Mimi let out a sharp, rising whine, her face contorting as she threatened to scream.
"Mimi, if you want milk, let Mommy take the shirt off first. You’re ruining my clothes" you muttered.
"That’s my shirt, by the way" Sukuna pointed out, his eyes opening to stare up at the ceiling.
You ignored him, focusing on untangling the baby's fingers from the fabric.
"You’ve lost too much weight" Sukuna murmured suddenly.
The casual, teasing atmosphere in the room vanished instantly. You looked over at him, opening your mouth to instinctively deny it, but the heavy, unblinking look in his eyes stopped the words in your throat. You knew he was right.
"It’s not healthy" he continued, his voice dropping into a rough, serious register. "You’re breastfeeding... and that’s not even the part that bothers me the most." He reached out, his massive, calloused hand engulfing yours, slowly sliding his fingers between your own. "When I held your waist earlier... I could feel your hip bone Y/n."
He looked down at your joined hands, his grip tightening just a fraction. "I.swear to God you aren't doing anything stupid like dieting. Because I will get angry at myself for making you feel like you ever needed to do that." He lifted your hand pressing his lips firmly against your knuckles.
"I’m fine, Ryo" you said softly, trying to ease the sudden tension in his broad shoulders. "My hip bones have always been a little visible-"
"Let’s discuss this later" he interrupted flatly.
He stood up in one fluid motion, carefully but firmly lifting Mimi away from you. Mimi began to scream and wail at the sudden separation, but Sukuna simply shifted her so she could see his bright pink hair. Fascinated by the bright color, she immediately reached out, her tiny fingers tangling in the strands, her crying ceasing as quickly as it had begun.
You sat up, watching him. You knew that look on his face. He was overthinking again locking himself into a spiral of silent anxiety that he rarely let the rest of the world see.
The pregnancy had been brutal on both of you. The worst memory the one that still gave him nightmares was the moment in the delivery room when the doctor had calmly handed Sukuna a piece of paper, telling him he needed to sign a waiver in case they had to choose between saving the mother or the child. Sukuna had nearly torn the hospital room apart, screaming at the staff, before finally shoving the signed paper back into the doctor's hands with a single, trembling command: If something goes wrong, you save my wife.
"Ryo..."
"Don’t 'Ryo' me, woman" he snapped softly, his back still turned to you as he held the baby. "I can't fucking live without you. Live? I can’t breathe. I can’t speak, drink, or eat if you aren't here. I need you to function in this world... don't you get that? All I want is for you to be healthy. I want you with me forever, until I’m all wrinkled and ugly as fuck, and you’re probably still looking hot as hell." He turned around, a weak, strained smile touching his lips as Mimi tugged mercilessly on his hair.
A stray tear escaped your eye, tracking silently down your cheek. Sukuna’s eyes caught the moisture instantly. His entire demeanor shifted; his focus locked entirely onto you. He walked over to the crib, quickly but gently placing Mimi inside. The infant immediately let out a loud howl of protest, but Sukuna didn't look back.
He moved to the edge of the bed, parting his legs and pulling you firmly into his lap.
You wrapped your arms tightly around his neck, burying your face into his shoulder. He held you back with a crushing, desperate strength. "I fucking love you" he grunted roughly against your skin.
From her crib, Mimi let out an annoyed grunt, rolling onto her stomach and sticking her chubby arms through the wooden bars, demanding to be let out.
Sukuna let out a long breath, his hands sliding down to the hem of your shirt. "Let me look at you" he murmured gently. You nodded against his shoulder, letting him slowly pull the fabric over your head.
A faint blush crept onto your cheeks as his eyes swept over your body. It felt strangely intense, almost overwhelming.mostly because between the late stages of pregnancy and the first five months of Mimi's life, you hadn't intimacy in over fourteen months. A record for the two of you.
But Sukuna wasn't looking at you with raw lust. His gaze traced the sharp line of your collarbones, the slight dip in your stomach, and the curve of your ribs.
"You are so fucking beautiful" he whispered, his large hand spreading flat against your stomach, his thumb stroking your skin. "But please, my girl." He leaned down, burying his face into the warmth of your neck, his breath hot against your skin.
You sighed, your fingers weaving through his short, pink hair, gently massaging his scalp. "I’m alright, Sukuna..."
"You just... fuck, you don't get it, Y/n" he muttered against your skin.
"I'm not dieting, I swear" you promised, your voice steady and honest. "You know me. I’ve never been an insecure woman."
"Of course I know you" he grunted, his lips sliding down to press a firm, lingering kiss just above your breast. "Why the fuck would you be insecure when you look like a goddess?"
You let out a soft chuckle, the heavy tension in your chest finally beginning to dissipate. "Yeah, yeah. But watch your mouth. Mimi is right there."
As if on cue, Mimi let out a piercing, high-pitched shriek. Sukuna pulled away with a sigh, turning to look at the crib. The baby’s cheeks were flushed dark pink from her screaming, her eyes brimming with very real, dramatic tears.
"You are such a brat, but I love you," Sukuna groaned, walking over to scoop her up again. The moment she was secure in his arms, her cries vanished. She reached out, her small hands patting his cheeks happily before her fingers began tracing the sharp, dark ink of his facial tattoos.
"My chubby little brat" Sukuna nuzzled his face against her tiny fingers, making her giggle. "Would you let me talk to Mommy for five minutes?"
Mimi gave a firm nod, as if she understood every syllable. You burst into a genuine laugh, and Sukuna’s eyes immediately locked onto your face. He walked back to the bed, laying her down between your legs. Instantly, the little monster crawled forward, shoving her mouth right against your breast over your bra, making Sukuna let out a loud grunt of defeat.
"If you keep feeding this milk monster every time she asks, she’s going to get so fat she won't even need to learn how to walk. She'll just roll around the house" Sukuna said.
You laughed so hard your shoulders shook. Mimi pulled back, blinking up at you with wide eyes, completely captivated by the sound of your laughter, before diving right back in.
"Stop fat.shaming our daughter," you gasped, adjusting your position. Sukuna grabbed a few pillows from the headboard, shoving them behind your back to make sure you were comfortable. You began to gently stroke Mimi's back as she nursed through the fabric. "Is it really that surprising? You know how the post pregnancy drop is for me. I just lost my appetite for a bit. But I’ll be fine, I promise. You know how much I love food."
Sukuna sighed, his hand resting gently on your knee, his thumb rubbing soothing circles. "Yeah, right. You better start eating like this monster right here." He gave Mimi’s diaper-clad bottom a playful pat, making the baby squirm and giggle without losing her grip.
"Let her nurse in peace" you chuckled.
"Pfft. She nurses every damn second" Sukuna complained, though his eyes were incredibly soft. "Yuji wasn't like this. That kid was calm as hell. He wouldn't even cry for his milk. he’d just sit there patiently waiting until you walked into the room."
"He was a very calm baby" you agreed, a nostalgic smile crossing your face. "But Mimi definitely took after her father. Did I mention she intentionally threw up on Shoko's mother last week?"
"What?" Sukuna’s head snapped up, a sharp snort escaping him. "That old hag absolutely deserved it, but how the hell did my brat manage that?" He leaned down to kiss Mimi’s bare foot, making her toes curl.
"Well, you were out,.and Shoko came over with her mother" you explained, smiling at the memory. "I had just finished feeding Mimi, and I was holding her up to burp her when Shoko's mom insisted on taking her. Mimi gave her the most terrifying, narrow eyed baby glare I’ve ever seen, but I handed her over anyway. Mimi started screaming immediately, so I reached out to take her back, but the woman wouldn't let go. She kept trying to hush her, and right on cue... Mimi just erupted all over her blouse. Shoko and I were laughing so hard we could barely breathe."
Sukuna burst into a loud, booming laugh, leaning his head completely against your shoulder as he looked down at the baby. "My girl is a genius. Good job, chubby brat" he praised, poking her cheek.
Mimi finally let go with a soft, milk.drunk sigh, smacking her lips.
"Finally! The milk monster is satisfied," Sukuna cheered, quickly lifting her away from your chest. Mimi giggled, entirely pleased with herself. She reached up, her tiny fingers landing squarely on Sukuna’s face. "Yup, that's my nose... and those are my eyes" Sukuna narrated as she touched each feature.
"And these are my teeth. And I am going to bite your cheek" Sukuna growled playfully, baring his teeth to try and scare her.
Mimi didn't even flinch. She just let out another massive giggle, leaning her face closer to his open mouth. Sukuna stared at her in absolute awe before pressing a loud, aggressive, yet incredibly gentle kiss right to her cheek. "Daddy's favorite little monster."
You reached out and pinched his forearm sharply. He let out a small grunt, looking up at you.
"Move" you ordered playfully. "I need to get changed before the guests get here. Go change your little monster into something nice, and then go downstairs and help poor Yuji." You slid off the bed, heading straight toward the bathroom for a quick shower.
"It's milk monster but whatever" Sukuna corrected loudly toward the closing door, earning himself a muffled scold from inside. He turned back to Mimi, showering her face with rapid kisses until she was breathless with giggles. "Come on, let’s get you into something pretty like your mom."
He laid her down on the mattress, changing her diaper with surprisingly deft, experienced hands. He walked over to her closet and pulled out a tiny, soft purple dress, a rare, genuine smile softening his harsh features as he looked at how ridiculously small it was.
"You know" Sukuna murmured to the baby in a low, conspiratorial whisper as he pulled the dress over her head "when your big brother was your age, he peed right on my face. I never told your mother because she would have held it over my head for the rest of my life. That’s a secret that stays between us, alright?"
Mimi kicked her legs, letting out a sharp squeal.
"Can you just stay like this forever? Small and cute?" Sukuna sighed, lifting her up against his chest. "I said the same damn thing to your brother, and now he’s turning sixteen. In two years, the kid is going to be a legal adult. It’s freaking ridiculous."
He walked out of the bedroom, carrying her down the hallway. "Let’s go see what your mom is doing." He reached out to turn the doorknob to the dressing room.
"Give me some privacy!" your voice rang out from inside.
"What’s that? Never heard of her in our seventeen years of marriage" Sukuna called back smoothly.
"Goodbye! Go change!" you shouted.
Sukuna grunted, turning back toward the stairs. "Your mom hates me," he whispered dramatically to Mimi. "She used to kick your dad out of bed, you know? And your poor, helpless father just had to sit on the floor and sulk all day. She used to beat me up, too. So you better love Daddy more, because Daddy is a deeply mistreated man."
"Ew. That was so cringe, Dad" Yuji’s flat voice interrupted from the bottom of the stairs.
Sukuna glared down at his son. "Fuck off. Hold your sister so I can go change." He practically shoved Mimi into Yuji’s arms. Yuji caught her with perfect ease, his expression instantly softening into something incredibly gentle as he adjusted his hold on his little sister.
Sukuna turned on his heel and marched back toward the bedroom, trying to ignore the heat rising in his face. He pushed the bedroom door open, and his jaw instantly dropped.
You were standing by the vanity in just your bra and panties, your arms raised as you elegantly tied your hair up into a loose bun. Sukuna’s eyes snapped down your body. In a fraction of a second, he stepped into the room, slammed the door shut, and turned the lock with a sharp click.
"Wh... what... you look sexy as hell" he muttered, his voice suddenly thick as he strode toward you.
You rolled your eyes in the mirror. "I know."
Before you could even turn around fully, Sukuna grabbed you by the waist, lifting you effortlessly and slamming you back onto the mattress. You let out a sharp yelp, followed by a breathless giggle.
"Ryomen!"
"Tsk, shut up. Let's make out" he growled.
His lips came down on yours, hot and demanding, his large hands immediately finding your waist and squeezing tightly. You let out a soft sigh, your hands coming up to grip his shoulders as the familiar, intoxicating heat of him enveloped you. He shifted his weight, his hips grinding firmly against yours, drawing a quiet, ragged whimper from your throat. You shifted, pulling yourself into his lap as the kiss turned aggressive and hungry. Even with the absolute exhaustion of managing a newborn and a teenager, the raw, visceral chemistry between you and Sukuna was something that time couldn't touch.
"Mom!! Megumi and Uncle Toji are here!" Yuji’s loud voice boomed through the house from downstairs.
Sukuna let out a furious, low grunt against your lips. He rested his forehead against yours for a single, agonizing second before slowly pulling away. He stood up, adjusting his clothes and zipping his pants back with a sharp tug.
"I'll go down and greet them. Take your time" he murmured, leaning down to press a firm kiss to your forehead, his hand giving your breast a wicked squeeze before he walked out.
You rolled your eyes, a flush burning on your skin as you got off the bed. You walked over to the closet and pulled out a stunning, backless silk dress in a deep, dark purple. You knew you were entirely overdressing for a casual family gathering, but it was exactly what you felt like doing. You neatly pinned your hair into a high, sophisticated bun, leaving the expanse of your bare back completely visible. Opting for comfort, you skipped the bra entirely, slipped into a pair of elegant kitten heels, applied a swift layer of light makeup, and headed downstairs.
As you descended the staircase, your hips swaying gently with every step, you saw the gathering in the foyer. Sukuna was holding Mimi like a prized possession while Toji stood a few feet away, talking to him.
But your eyes immediately locked onto Megumi, your second son. You loved that boy with everything in you. He was a sweetheart through and through. After Toji’s girlfriend had passed away years ago, you had stepped in, raising Megumi right alongside Yuji without a single shred of regret.
"Megumi!" you called out.
Every head in the room snapped toward the staircase. Sukuna’s eyes widened, his throat suddenly going completely dry as he took in the sight of you in the backless silk. You ignored his burning gaze, stepping off the final step and walking straight toward Megumi, wrapping him in a warm, fierce hug.
"Look at you!" you smiled brightly, pulling back just enough to smooth down his stubbornly spiky black hair.
Megumi let out a rare, genuine smile, leaning down to press a soft kiss to your forehead. "Hey, Mom."
Your smile widened. You and Toji had been completely honest with Megumi years ago about his biological mother; after all, as the boy grew older, he had naturally questioned why his father lived so closely with another family. But Megumi had called you 'Mom' since he was barely a year old, and that had never changed. Sukuna had never minded sharing the maternal title, and Toji despite his usual gruff, distant exterior always looked at you with a quiet, profound gratitude that he could never fully put into words.
"Mom! Dad isn't letting anyone hold Mimi!" Yuji complained loudly, throwing an arm over Megumi’s shoulder.
You raised an eyebrow, turning a sharp look toward your husband. "Really? And what exactly did your father say?"
"He said our hands are too dirty to touch his daughter" Megumi muttered with a quiet snort.
You threw a lethal glare across the room at Sukuna, who instantly looked away, suddenly very interested in the molding on the ceiling. "You boys go grab some snacks in the living room and wait for the others to arrive. I need to have a little word with that man."
Megumi and Yuji exchanged amused snickers as they strolled into the living room.
You walked into the kitchen space, purposefully bypassing Sukuna to walk straight up to Toji, offering him a warm, brief hug. "Hello!" you smiled.
Toji offered a rare, faint smile in return. "Hey."
Behind you, Sukuna was practically burning a hole through Toji’s skull with his eyes, rolling them aggressively.
"Why exactly are you refusing to let the kids hold Mimi?" you asked, turning to Sukuna and gesturing for him to hand her over. "Oh, look at my baby girl! We're matching!" you cooed, happily taking Mimi into your arms and peppering her cheeks with kisses.
"She has your eyes" Toji remarked quietly, watching the two of you.
"Pfft. She’s my exact copy" Sukuna countered loudly, stepping forward with a stubborn grin.
You rolled your eyes, shifting Mimi securely against your hip. "Anyway, go into the living room and let the kids hold their sister. Stop acting like you're some untouchable celebrity." You shooed him away with your free hand.
Sukuna huffed, but leaned in to press a quick, possessive kiss to your lips before finally walking out to join the boys.
You turned your attention back to Toji, who was standing there with his hands shoved deep into his pockets, looking uncharacteristically awkward. You let out a soft chuckle. "What's with that look?"
Toji looked at you, his eyes softening as he took in the radiant, effortless grace you carried. "You look good, Y/n. Motherhood suits you. It always has.

Bsf FratKuna x f!reader
You met Ryomen Sukuna when the world was sixteen more like you both were dumb teens, a chaotic blur of loud lockers and lingering insecurity. He looked older than the rest hardened, sharp, and wearisomely mature. Bold, intricate tattoos mapped his skin, crawling up his neck and spanning across his face like ancient, definitive armor. To the rest of the school, he was a walking storm warning. To you, a quiet, fiercely private nerd who lived behind the safety of thick paperbacks and undisturbed corner.
He didn't leave you alone he used to bully you.But it wasn't the kind of cruelty that left you crying into your pillow at night. His brand of bullying was a strange, localized weather system meant solely for you. He ignored every other girl in your year, but the moment you crossed his path, his heavy boots would slow. A large, calloused hand would reach out, his thick fingers gently, almost thoughtfully, tugging at your hair just enough to tilt your head back.
"Still burrowing your nose into those pages, bookworm?" he’d drawl, his voice already carrying that gravelly, low register.
You would huff, swatting at him, but you never truly ran away. Because even then, beneath the mockery, his red dark eyes would trace your features with an intensity that made your breath catch. He was watching you. Always watching.
The shift happened on a rainy Tuesday during a mandatory parent teacher night. The classroom smelled of wet umbrellas and cheap floor wax. You sat in the hallway, waiting for your mother, when the raised voice of your homeroom teacher sliced through the quiet. She was standing over Sukuna, scolding him with a shrill anger because his parents hadn't shown up. Again. She accused him of delinquency, of hiding the notices, of being a lost cause who didn't care about his own future.
Sukuna just sat there, his long legs stretched out under the small desk, a look of profound, dead eyed boredom on his face. He didn't defend himself. He didn’t care.
But you did. You realized then that you had never once seen an adult with him. Driven by a sudden, aching curiosity, you followed him home that evening, keeping a safe distance through the winding alleys. You tracked him to the edge of the district, where a sprawling traditional estate sat in shadow. It was vast, beautiful, and utterly desolate. No lights were on. No dinner was cooking. He walked through the gates entirely alone.
The sheer loneliness of that massive house struck a chord deep in your chest. You wanted to comfort him, but you knew him well enough to recognize that pity was a currency Sukuna would violently reject. So you chose a different tactic.
The next day, you quietly slid half of your bento onto his desk. When midterm season arrived, you didn't offer him sympathy, you simply dropped a stack of neatly highlighted study guides into his lap, demanding he help you double check the formulas. And when your late night cram sessions at the cram school ended past ten, you’d walk out to find his tall silhouette leaning against the rusted streetlamp, a half-burnt cigarette dangling from his lips. He never said 'why' he was there. He’d just grunt, shove his hands into his pockets, and walk you home through the dark.
And you hated his habit of smoking too much, at that age but he never listened.
Slowly, imperceptible a fierce, unbreakable friendship bloomed
Eight years slipped by like water. Now, the chaotic halls of high school had given way to the sprawling brick architecture of the university. Sukuna was carving out a name for himself in graphic design a field that perfectly suited his sharp visual instincts while you buried yourself in the grueling, endless cycles of medical school. Despite the brutal workloads, you remained each other's constants.
Your social circles had merged into a strange, volatile ecosystem. He had introduced you to his crowd: the towering, cynical Toji; the fiercely loyal Uraume. the chaotic, unpredictable Mahito more like the most weird one, and the calculating Kenjaku. In return, you dragged him into your world, introducing him to Shoko, Suguru, and Gojo Satoru. Sukuna hated Gojo from the exact millisecond they locked eyes a mutual, visceral hatred that provided endless entertainment for everyone else.
It was the height of summer break. The heat was a thick, physical weight pressing down on the city. Sukuna was working grueling double shifts mornings at a local automotive garage, followed by an afternoon stint at a small creative firm. Still, he carved out his remaining hours for you. You, too, were hunting for a part time job. the thought of spending the entire summer trapped inside your apartment, drowning in medical journals and mindlessly binge watching television, felt like a waste of life.
Currently, you were curled up on your small, slightly faded pink couch. Sukuna sat beside you, his large frame taking up over half the cushions. His long legs were casually man.spreaded, dressed in his worn blue jeans and a faded band shirt that clung to the broad expanse of his chest. He smelled exactly like he always did a heady, comforting cocktail of bitter tobacco smoke, iron, and a faint hint of amber alcohol. It was the scent of your safe haven.
You sipped your iced tea, dressed simply in a pair of pink lounge shorts and a white tank top.
"You know, the firm where I do design work... they need someone part time to handle basic image editing and digital filing" Sukuna murmured, his deep voice vibrating through the cushions. He didn't look at you, his eyes fixed on the blank TV screen. "I could talk to the manager about throwing your name in-"
"Omg! Yes, please, Ryo! Please!" you burst out leaning over and grabbing his forearm.
Sukuna paused, slowly turning his head to glare at you through his lower set of eyes, his expression a mix of irritation and mild amusement. "Brat, will you shut up and listen for a second?"
"I am listening!"
"I'll talk to them tomorrow and see what the boss says" he muttered, flicking a stray ash into an empty can. "But do you even know how to use the software properly? This isn't your little anatomy flashcards."
"Mhm, yeah! I took that digital design elective last semester, remember? Besides, it’s a small company. As long as the environment is cozy and fun, I can handle it."
Sukuna let out a rough, mocking scoff. "Cozy? Fun? That's a goddamn shithole."
You rolled your eyes, setting your mug down on the coffee table with a definitive clack. "Oh, stop it. Why do you always have to be so pessimistic? I've walked past that building, it looks incredibly cool from the outside."
"Yeah? Well, from the outside, you look smart too" Sukuna shot back, pulling a long drag from his cigarette and deliberately blowing the smoke upward, away from your face. "But that doesn't mean you actually are."
"Hey!" You brought your hand down in a sharp slap against his thick bicep. The impact made a solid sound, but he barely flinched, offering only a low, amused grunt.
"Talk to them tomorrow" you commanded, leaning in closer. On a sudden, playful whim, you pressed a quick, affectionate kiss to his tattooed cheek.
Before you could pull away, his hand shot out with lightning reflexes. His thick fingers wrapped around your wrist, his grip firm but careful not to hurt you, pulling you back down into his space. He stared down at you, his lips curling into a slow, dangerous smirk.
"Don't wear that pink, girlish shit when you show up for the interview" he warned, his free hand reaching up to roughly squeeze your cheeks together until your lips puckered. You glared at him through narrowed eyes, swatting at his chest until he finally laughed and let you go.
You sank back against the couch, resting your head on the cushions as you stared toward the television. "I know how to dress professionally, chill out. You're probably just jealous because my style is better than yours"
Sukuna scoffed, leaning his head back. "Yeah. When pigs fly, brat."
The room fell into a comfortable silence, save for the hum of the air conditioner. You turned your head slightly, your eyes softening as you traced the familiar lines of his tattoos. You loved them especially the intricate markings beneath his eyes. Watching him now, the stark realization hit you of just how much he had changed. The lean, angry teenager from the rain soaked school hallway had filled out into a massive.imposing man. The sheer weight of your shared memories made your heart ache with a strange, sweet tightness.
"What? Want to kiss me or something?" Sukuna asked suddenly, his voice snapping you out of your thoughts. He turned his head, a wicked, knowing wink flashing across his face.
You rolled your eyes hard, fighting back a blush. "Ugh, no. In your dreams. I would never kiss someone like you."
"Someone like me?" Sukuna’s demeanor shifted instantly. He stubbed his cigarette out in the can, turning his entire body toward you, his dark eyes locking onto yours. "What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"
"You know exactly what it means" you retorted, crossing your arms and putting on a small, challenging smirk. "You literally ghosted poor Yorozu after sleeping with her once. That was horrible, Ryo. You can't just play with people's feelings like that. She actually liked you and you just used her for her-"
"Stop right fucking there." Sukuna interrupted, his voice dropping into a dangerous, gravelly register. "You’ve known me since I was a kid, and you know damn well I don't play those pathetic games. Yorozu was an annoying, a delusional bitch. She knew exactly what she was doing, she came onto me, and nobody used her. I’m not going to date a woman who treats her own body like a revolving door."
"Wait a minute!" You turned fully on the couch, your temper flaring as you met his gaze head-on. "So you're saying a woman can't explore her options, but men can? When a guy does it, it's 'experience,' but when a girl does it, she should be ashamed?"
"I didn't say that, brat!" Sukuna growled, leaning in closer, his jaw tight. "I don't give two fucks who sleeps with whom. I’d date a girl regardless of her past if it actually mattered to her, but Yorozu wasn't looking for a relationship. She went through four different guys in our circle in a single week. Tell me the truth would you seriously date a guy who changes his bedsheets for a new girl every single night?"
You paused, your argument losing its steam. "No... I wouldn't. But still... you sleep around too!"
"Oh, don't worry your little head about my life. It's not like I'd ever let a nerdy brat like you date me anyway" Sukuna smirked, the tension draining from his shoulders as he pulled another cigarette from his pack. "Besides, thanks for the reminder. I haven't even looked at a woman in months."
You let out a loud sigh of pure annoyance, throwing your hands up. "Good! Because no one is going to date you anyway! Just look at you. You're impossible! Ugh!"
Pushed to your limit, you pushed yourself off the couch and stormed into the small kitchen adjacent to the living room.
From behind you, Sukuna’s deep voice rose in a mocking, high.pitched whine. "Damn, I hear a cat meowing. Blah, blah, blah."
Without turning around, you hoisted your arm over your shoulder and flipped him the middle finger. A rough, genuine snort of laughter echoed from the living room.
You forced your focus onto the kitchen counter, pulling out the ingredients for a classic spaghetti with rich red meat sauce. It was your favorite comfort food, and despite his tough exterior, Sukuna loved it just as much. No matter how viciously you bickered, this apartment this dynamic was your safe harbor. He had come straight from an exhausting shift, smelling of grease and office stress, just to sit on your couch and let you vent about your week. That was the hidden, fiercely protective side of him that you cherished above all else.
As you brought a pot of water to a boil, you stared at the steam rising into the air. "Hey, Ryo... do you think I should get a tattoo?"
The rustle of the couch cushions told you he had instantly shifted. A moment later, the heavy thud of his footsteps approached the kitchen. You looked up to see him stretching his arms over his head, pulling his band shirt taut against the sharp, chiseled definition of his torso and the prominent V-line disappearing into his jeans.
"Depends on what you're getting" he said, leaning his hip against the counter. He watched you intently as you began chopping onions, his gaze heavy and focused.
"Maybe something delicate" you murmured, tilting your head thoughtfully. "Like an Om symbol... or a lotus flower. Right here, near my hip."
Sukuna’s eyes darkened slightly. "A lotus... on your hip? Like... right here?"
Before you could register the movement, his large, rough hand reached out, his long fingers gently pressing against the curve of your hip bone. His skin was heavily calloused from the garage, rough against your bare skin, but the heat radiating from his palm was incredibly warm. sending a sudden electric shiver down your spine.
You nodded swallowed hard. "Yeah. Right there."
Sukuna slowly pulled his hand back, his expression turning unreadable. "Nah. Don't do it."
"Why not?" you asked, turning back to the stove to drop the pasta into the boiling water.
"Because I wouldn't be able to see it" he stated flatly.
You let out a loud snort, your cheeks instantly burning. "Well, it's not for you! It's for my future husband. He'll see it when he... oh my god, shut up, I'm getting shy just talking about it!" You hid your face in your hands, giggling nervously at your own sudden embarrassment.
Sukuna rolled his eyes, looking thoroughly cringed "I didn't even say anything, woman. You're losing your mind."
"I know! But still." You turned around, your eyes dropping to the freshly lit cigarette in his hand. With a quick, practiced motion, you snatched it right out of his lips and dropped it directly into the trash can by the sink. "And stop smoking in my kitchen."
"What the fuck?!" Sukuna glared down at you, his eyebrows knitting together in genuine outrage. "You know how much those cost?"
You offered him a bright, unapologetic smile, leaning back against the counter. "I don't care. Nothing is more expensive than your health, Ryomen."
Sukuna froze. His fierce expression melted, his eyes softening into something so profoundly tender it would have terrified anyone else. He looked at you really looked at you and the realization of how deeply he cared for you settled heavily in his chest. You were the only person alive allowed to snatch things from his hands, to yell at him, to care about his well being without an ulterior motive. He hid a small, vulnerable smile by looking down at the floor, composing his face before you could catch him.
"I've been drinking so much banana milk lately" you rambled on, completely oblivious to his internal crisis as you opened the fridge. "It's so sweet and comforting. I've been craving it like crazy the past few days. Maybe my period is coming up." You poured a glass of the chilled yellow milk and handed it to him.
Sukuna took the glass mechanically. "Wasn't your cycle supposed to start two days ago?"
The words left his mouth before he could stop them. He froze mid-sip, mentally cursing himself. He knew your calendar perfectly he kept a silent, running track of it in his notes app so he knew exactly when to buy your favorite chocolates, when to keep his temper in check, and when to just let you rest. But saying it out loud made him sound completely weird.
Your eyes went wide, your jaw dropping. "Oh my god, you're right! Wait... how on earth do you know my cycle better than I do?"
Sukuna shrugged nonchalantly, taking a massive gulp of the milk to avoid looking at you. "Just a random guess, brat."
"Ryo, scratch my back please!" You turned around, presenting your back to him while the sauce simmered.
"what the hell" he grumbled, but he set the empty glass down anyway. He stepped up directly behind you, his massive chest nearly pressing against your shoulder blades. He brought his large hand up, dragging his nails firmly over the cotton of your white top.
"No, lower! Go under the shirt, up and to the right!" you instructed, leaning into the pressure.
Sukuna let out a low sigh but complied. His large, warm hand slipped beneath the hem of your tank top, his rough fingers tracing the smooth skin of your lower back. He moved upward, his knuckles brushing against the strap of your bra, carefully bypassing it to reach the tense muscles of your neck. He looked down at the soft curve of your shoulders, a quiet, lingering expression crossing his face. You had grown up so beautifully. The clumsy, guarded nerd from high school had transformed into a brilliant, captivating woman right before his eyes.
And yet he had fallen in love with that nerd years ago.
"Hey, are you still in touch with Toji?" you asked out loud, stirring the red sauce.
Sukuna’s hand stopped instantly. The warmth left his expression, replaced by a sudden, icy glare. He pulled his hand out from under your shirt. "Yeah. Why the fuck are you asking about him?"
"just asking" you said, turning to look at him over your shoulder. "I just thought he was really cool when we all hung out last month. He was funny, and we had a great conversation-"
"Do you have a crush on him?" Sukuna’s voice was dangerously low, his jaw clenching.
"Maybe a little?"
"That asshole is a man whore" Sukuna snapped, stepping closer and grabbing your wrist with a sudden, intense seriousness. "You are staying the hell away from him. The guy probably has half a dozen babies across the country that he's abandoned."
You blinked, surprised by his intensity. "Isn't he your friend?"
"Yeah, which means I know exactly what kind of scum he is" Sukuna growled, his eyes locked onto yours. "I'm protecting your virgin ass."
"I am not a virgin!" your face flushed an intense, bright crimson. You had admitted that to him years ago during a weak moment, and you had regretted it ever since because he never let you live it down.
"You are, and there's nothing wrong with that" he grunted, his grip on your wrist softening but not letting go. "Save it for someone who's actually going to cherish you and marry you, not a jerk like Toji."
"Yeah, right. That fairytale stuff only happens in old movies" you sighed dramatically, twisting out of his grip and spinning around the kitchen with an exaggerated sigh. "Maybe I need to move to a completely different country to find my prince charming."
Sukuna let out a rough snort, reaching forward and sharply flicking your forehead. "Open your eyes, brat. He might be standing right in front of you."
You rolled your eyes, rubbing your forehead as you served the food.
The rest of the evening passed in a comfortable, familiar blur. You ate dinner side by side at the small counter, your voice filling the quiet apartment as you rambled about a new medical drama you were watching and the outfits you wanted to buy once you got the job. Sukuna listened with a rare, quiet patience, occasionally chiming in about his chaotic shifts at the garage or updates about his young nephew, yuji whom you absolutely adored.
By eleven, he was standing at your front door, preparing to head back to his boring house
"Text me the exact second you get home, okay?" you said, stepping out into the cool hallway. You were wearing your oversized orange slippers with the little bear faces on them, looking incredibly small compared to him as he pulled his helmet over his pink hair and swung his leg over his heavy black motorcycle.
You reached out, playfully tapping the visor of his helmet. "Hellooooooooo? Can you hear me in there?"
A muffled, dark chuckle resonated from behind the glass. "I can't hear a single word you're saying, brat. Go back inside where it's warm."
Instead of turning back, you stepped forward, grabbing the thick leather of his jacket to pull him down slightly. You pressed a firm, lingering kiss right against the side of his helmet. "Ride safe. Text me."
Before he could respond, you spun around and dashed back inside your apartment, clicking the lock shut behind you.
Out in the driveway, Sukuna sat frozen on his idling bike. His heart was hammering against his ribs at a ridiculous, violent pace. He slowly lifted a gloved hand, his fingers touching the exact spot on his helmet where your lips had rested. He let out a long, ragged exhale into the darkness. You were going to be the absolute death of him.
Inside, you collapsed onto your bed, a massive, unprompted smile stretching across your face. You didn't quite understand why you had done that, but the lingering warmth in your chest told you that you didn't regret it for a single second.
A moment later, your phone buzzed in your hand.
Ryoooo yum:
Am home.
You giggled, quickly tapping out a response.
You:
Look! It's a new sticker!
Ryoooo yum:
Thank you. I desperately needed that completely useless information.
You:
Sarcasm doesn't suit you, Ryo. Anyway, make sure you text me about the job tomorrow!
Ryoooo yum:
I will. Get your beauty sleep.
You:
Did you just indirectly call me beautiful?! 🥰
Ryoooo yum:
Night, brat.
The next morning was a whirlwind of nervous energy. You spent hours tearing through your closet, trying to find an outfit that balanced professionalism with your own personal flair. You went out to the grocery store, buying an excessive amount of fresh ingredients, cooking far more food than one person could ever eat just to keep your hands busy.
At exactly two in the afternoon, your phone lit up.
Ryoooo yum:
Come to the office at five PM sharp. Bring your portfolio and identification documents.
Your heart did a violent flip.
You:
Oh my god, yes! Are you going to be there?!
Ryoooo yum:
Maybe. My shift ends at 5:30.
You immediately liked the message, a sudden surge of determination washing over you. You packed a large, multi tiered tiffin box with the specific grilled chicken sandwiches he loved the ones he always claimed were "mediocre" but devoured in seconds. You added a side of seasoned rice and tucked his favorite energy drink into the side pocket.
With time to spare, you took a long, luxurious shower, doing your makeup with meticulous care. You applied a subtle touch of eyeliner, mascara to frame your eyes, and a soft lip liner topped with a glossy sheen. For clothes, you chose a sleek, dark pencil skirt that hugged your curves and hit just above your knees, paired with a crisp white blouse that offered just a tasteful hint of your cleaverage You tied your hair up into a elegant bun, stepping into a pair of classic burgundy kitten heels. Looking at yourself in the mirror, you felt an unfamiliar, intoxicating rush of confidence.
The Uber ride to the firm was a tense, quiet countdown. When you finally arrived at the sleek, modern building, the receptionist offered you a warm, welcoming smile and guided you straight down the hall to the hiring manager’s office. You kept your eyes peeled for a flash of pink hair, but the creative floor was quiet.
The manager, a poised woman in her late forties, greeted you warmly. "You must be Y/n. Sukuna hasn't stopped reminding me about your application all week."
You smiled, settling into the chair. "Yes, that's me. He's my best friend."
The woman paused, adjusting her glasses with a knowing smile. "Oh? From the way he was fiercely defending your credentials, I assumed you were his girlfriend."
Your heart skipped a beat, but you chose not to correct her, letting the comment slide as she dove into the interview. She asked about your university schedule, your familiarity with design software, and reviewed your documents.
Finally, she extended her hand across the desk. "Everything looks perfect. You can start next Monday. I'll email you the formal details tonight."
You walked out of the office trying to find someone, your chest bursting with excitement. As you made your way back down the central corridor, your eyes caught a glimpse of movement through a glass paneled office door.
Inside was Sukuna
He was staring intensely at a laptop, dressed in a sharp white button down shirt with a dark tie, his black suit jacket draped over the back of his chair. His pink hair was a bit messy, his jaw tight as he typed. The sheer, commanding masculinity of his presence struck you with a force that left you breathless. He looked breathtakingly handsome.
You quietly opened the door and stepped inside. He didn't look up immediately, assumed it was a coworker.
You cleared your throat, adopting a playful, formal tone. "Excuse me, Mr. Ryomen? May I have a moment of your time?"
Sukuna’s head snapped up. The moment his eyes landed on you, his entire posture froze. The breath completely left his lungs. You looked... illegal. The pencil skirt accentuated every line of your body, your face was radiant, and the elegant bun made you look sophisticated and entirely out of his reach. His heart hammered violently against his ribs.
Before he could speak, you closed the distance between you, dropping your bag on the floor and throwing your arms tightly around his neck.
Sukuna’s eyes widened in sheer shock, but his instincts took over. His large arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you flush against his massive chest. He buried his face into the crook of your neck, inhaling the sweet, familiar scent of your perfume.
"I got the job, Ryo" you whispered softly against his shoulder. "Thank you so much."
He let out a low, rumbling hum, his grip tightening just a fraction. Neither of you moved. For several long, unbroken minutes, you simply stood there in the quiet office, holding onto each other as if the rest of the world didn't exist.
Finally, you cleared your throat gently. "Ryo?"
He blinked, suddenly realizing how long he had been holding you, and quickly pulled back, clearing his throat to hide his flushed face. "Yeah. Yeah, congrats, brat." He rubbed the back of his neck, gesturing to the chair across from his desk. "Sit down."
You took a seat, pulling the tiffin box from your bag and setting it on his desk alongside the energy drink. "I brought you lunch,.I know it's a bit late, but since you always skip meals when you're busy, I knew you'd be starving."
Sukuna stared at the food, a faint, self-deprecating laugh escaping his lips. "At this rate, you might as well just marry me."
It was a joke you two had made a thousand times before. But today, the air in the room felt thick, charged with an unspoken tension.
You bit your lower lip, looking directly into his eyes. "You already know my ring size, don't you?"
Sukuna froze, a piece of the sandwich halfway to his mouth. He swallowed hard, his dark eyes fixed on yours with a sudden, terrifying intensity. "Yeah." he said, his voice dropping into a rough whisper. "I do. Thanks for the food."
He took a bite, trying to ground himself. After a moment, he slid the container toward the edge of the desk. "Come here. Let's share."
You smiled, standing up. But instead of grabbing the adjacent chair, your feet carried you directly to his side of the desk. Without thinking, you pivoted and sat down directly onto his muscular thigh.
Sukuna’s entire body went rigid as stone. He stopped breathing. But he didn't push you away. Slowly, hesitantly, his large arm snaked around your waist, anchoring you securely against him. With his other hand, he picked up the fork, dipping into the rice and lifting it to your lips. You took the bite, and without switching utensils, he used the exact same fork to take a bite for himself.
"When does your shift officially end?" you asked, leaning your shoulder against his chest. He reached up, his thumb gently brushing a stray grain of rice from the corner of your mouth, his touch impossibly tender.
"It's already over" he murmured, his voice vibrating against your back. "We're going home together after this."
"Ryo..." Your voice turned quiet, serious.
"Yeah?"
"Can we end our friendship?"
The words cut through the room like a knife. Sukuna’s hand froze entirely. The warmth in his eyes vanished, replaced by a sudden, sharp panic that made his chest heave. "Stop playing around, Y/n. That's not funny."
"I'm completely serious, Sukuna..." you sighed, pushing yourself off his lap. The sudden loss of your warmth left him feeling entirely hollow. You walked over to the large window, staring out at the sunset.
"Why?!" Sukuna stood up so fast his chair rolled back and slammed into the wall. He crossed the room in three long strides, his face twisted in a mix of anger and terror. "What the hell do you mean? Did I do something wrong? Talk to me, brat!"
You turned around to face him, your heart pounding in your throat. "I like you."
Sukuna froze in his tracks. His jaw slackened. He stared at you, his mind racing, convinced this was some cruel, elaborate prank. If he admitted his truth and you laughed it off, he would never be able to look at you again. He forced a stiff, awkward laugh, his defenses slamming into place. "Yeah... right. I like you too, brat. We've been best friends for years, obviously-"
"No, Sukuna. Not like that" you interrupted, your voice trembling slightly as you took a step closer. "I've had feelings for you for the past two years. Real, romantic feelings. I'm in love with you."
Sukuna’s entire world ground to a screeching halt. "A... what?"
Misinterpreting his shock for rejection, your eyes cast downward, your shoulders slumping. "Okay... you don't have to say anything. You don't have to make fun of me or call me a nerd. If you don't feel the same way, we can just... try to ignore this and stay friends, or-"
"I fucking love you, Y/n."
The words tore out of his throat, raw and unrestrained. Before you could even process the sound, Sukuna’s large hands closed around your waist, lifting you slightly as he pulled you flush against his chest. His grip was fiercely tight, as if he were terrified you would vanish if he let go.
"I've loved you since we were seventeen years old" he growled, his voice thick with a lifetime of suppressed emotion. He pressed his forehead against yours, his dark eyes burning into yours. "You were sitting in that library with those ridiculous glasses, yapping my damn ear off about things I didn't care about, and I was completely goner. And if that wasn't enough, you show up here today looking like a dream, bringing me lunch like you're already my goddamn wife... I can't take it anymore."
A tear leaked from your eye, a bright, breathless laugh escaping your lips. "Really? You're not joking?"
"Fucking really" he whispered, his gaze dropping to your lips.
He didn't wait. Sukuna leaned down, closing the final distance between you, and captured your mouth in a deep, fiercely passionate kiss that erased eight years of waiting in a single, breathless second.
(go and flop)
Missed calls
Husbandkuna x f!reader
Reader finds herself in a heated argument with her husband, one that ends in tragedy neither of them saw coming.
(too much angst, mention of pregnancy)
Three years ago, your marriage to Ryomen Sukuna was nothing more than a ink and paper transaction. It wasn't born out of love, but out of a calculated arrangement between two elite, powerhouse families hungry for more wealth and influence.
Sukuna was the formidable heir and CEO of his father’s massive conglomerate, and your own father held an equally powerful corporate empire. The union was a flawless business deal, but a personal disaster. At first, the mutual disdain was palpable. You hated everything about him especially how his strikingly unique red eyes seemed to look right through you, and how his messy, pink hair had absolutely no right to look so effortlessly attractive.
Yet, against all odds, the friction melted. Slowly, quietly, and with a warmth that caught you both completely off guard, you fell deeply in love.
The morning sun filtered softly through the bedroom curtains, casting a gentle glow over the room. It was only seven in the morning. You were tangled securely in Sukuna's heavy embrace, one of his massive hands resting possessively over your hip. He was snoring loudly, dead to the world.
A few months ago, you had taken maternity leave from your demanding job at the hospital. Now, you were two months pregnant with your first child.
You sighed softly, shifting against him. He was squeezing you so tightly it was nearly impossible to breathe, let alone sneak downstairs for breakfast.
"Ryo... move" you muttered, nudging his shoulder. "Ugh, come on." Instead of letting go, his grip only tightened, pulling you flush against his chest. You let out a defeated sigh.
He let out a low, gravelly grunt, his eyelids fluttering open. "Morning" he rasped, his voice thick with sleep. "Everything alright?"
"Move! I'm starving!" you half shouted, aiming a glare at him.
A soft chuckle rumbled in his chest. "Yes, ma'am" he murmured playfully. He saluted you with a lazy smirk before suddenly shifting, hoisting you effortlessly into his arms and peppering your cheeks with kisses.
You couldn't help the soft laughter that bubbled up, wrapping your arms around your husband’s neck. Forgetting all about morning breath, you pressed your lips to his.
"How are you feeling today?" Sukuna asked gently, setting you down on the cool kitchen counter.
"Fine, just craving a banana milkshake" you smiled, leaning forward to kiss his forehead and smooth down his unruly pink hair.
His grin widened, and before you could react, he tugged the hem of your nightie upward.
"Ryo!" you yelped, blushing.
"Shh" he murmured. Sukuna carefully pulled the fabric up just enough to expose your still-flat stomach. He leaned down, pressing his warm lips against your skin in a tender, lingering kiss. "It's your dad, brat." he whispered against your skin, making a weak, emotional smile tug at your lips.
"When will you be home tonight?" you asked as he smoothed your nightie back down, his hand lingering protectively over your stomach.
"I’ll be home sharp at seven. I've got a few final meetings with some corporate bastards" he sighed, turning to grab the blender, milk, and bananas.
"I'll wait for you, then. We can watch a movie and order pizza" you said softly. Friday night movie marathons and endless cuddling had become your sacred weekly ritual.
"Whatever my queen wants." He gave your hip a playful squeeze before pecking your cheek, making you chuckle.
"Oh, look I got my nails done" you said, proudly holding up your fresh French tips.
Sukuna immediately abandoned the milkshake ingredients and strode over to you. He took your hand in his large palm, lifting it to his lips to kiss each fingertip repeatedly until you giggled and tried to pull away.
"Beautiful, wonderful, gorgeous" he worshiped, his eyes gleaming. "As majestic as my wife. I don’t even have the words to describe how immaculate your taste is." Without warning, he scooped you into his arms, spinning you around the kitchen. You yelped, clinging to his broad shoulders for dear life.
"Ryo! Put me down!" You laughed.
"Mhm? What ma'am?" he grinned, staring down at you until your cheeks burned red.
"Nothing!" you mumbled, hiding your face in his neck, which only made his smirk grow.
He gently set your feet back on the floor but kept his arms tightly wound around your waist, pulling you flush against his body. He leaned in, brushing the tip of his nose against yours. "When I get home tonight... how about... we..." He trailed off, capturing your lips in a slow, intoxicating kiss that made you hum in agreement. "We make some love, hmm?"
He sighed against your lips, finally pulling back just enough to gaze at the face he adored so deeply. He felt a sudden wave of profound gratitude for his overbearing family. If they hadn't forced him into that arranged marriage, he never would have found the love of his life.
"Try to come home early if you can" you whispered shyly, adjusting his collar.
"I will, my love" he promised, tucking a stray strand of hair behind your ear.
An hour later, Sukuna stood by the front door, looking incredibly sharp and devastatingly handsome in his tailored black suit. You stared at him, suddenly wishing he didn't have to leave for the office at all.
"Where's my goodbye kiss?" he demanded standing firm.
You stood on your tiptoes and pressed a quick, sweet kiss to his cheek. The pink haired CEO immediately frowned, clearly unsatisfied. He dropped his briefcase, wrapping his large hands around your waist. Lifting you effortlessly so your weight wouldn't bear down on the fragile new life you were carrying, he pulled you up to his eye level. You gasped, blushing furiously as he stared intensely into your eyes before smashing his lips against yours.
You whined into the kiss, melting against him as you returned the embrace with equal fervor. When he finally pulled away, you were both breathless.
"Now that is a kiss, Mrs. Ryomen" he smirked, before kneeling down one last time to press a firm kiss to your abdomen.
He stood up, his expression turning serious. "Take care of yourself today, alright? Keep the door locked behind me. Call me if you need absolutely anything. And if—"
You cut him off by pulling his tie, crashing your lips against his again. He let out a soft groan, wrapping his arms around you tightly.
"This little trick won't make me shut up, woman" he grunted against your lips, though there was no real heat behind it. "Take care."
You giggled. The way he understood your deflections so perfectly made your heart ache with overwhelming affection.
As soon as the front door clicked shut, you threw yourself into preparing for the perfect evening. You tidied up the house, humming to yourself. Remembering that the front door lock had been sticking and acting faulty lately, you called a local locksmith. Unfortunately, they couldn't send anyone out until the following day.
Undeterred, you changed into a fresh outfit and went out to do some shopping. You spent five wonderful hours picking out incredibly cute baby onesies you had eyed previously, alongside a haul of fresh groceries for dinner.
By the time you returned, it was already past lunchtime. You quickly ate some ramen and then set to work in the kitchen. You prepared the dough for two homemade pizzas, and even cooked a large batch of Sukuna’s favorite spicy chicken wings. The smell of the chicken made your pregnant stomach turn with nausea, but you pushed through it, fueled entirely by the desire to see the bright, happy look on your husband's face.
With the kitchen pristine and the food ready to be baked, you headed upstairs. You spent the next two hours completely pampering yourself. You took a long, hot shower, shaved, and applied a luxurious, sweet scented lotion all over your skin.
You selected a beautiful, elegant, yet undeniably sultry burgundy nightie that cut high on your thighs, trimmed with delicate black lace. Your legs glowed from the lotion, and you smelled incredible. You left your hair down, cascading over your shoulders, knowing how much Sukuna loved to run his fingers through it, smell it, and mindlessly braid it while you watched television.
Checking the clock, your heart fluttered. It was exactly 7:00 PM. Sukuna should be pulling into the driveway any minute. You hurried downstairs to preheat the oven for the pizzas and arranged an array of snacks, candy, and popcorn on the living room coffee table.
But by 7:34 PM, the driveway was still empty. Worry began to itch at the back of your mind. Sukuna was a notoriously fast driver, and traffic was never heavy along his route at this hour.
Sitting on the couch, you pulled out your phone and sent him a quick text. You waited, watching the minutes tick away. When ten minutes passed with no reply, you called him.
It rang all the way to voicemail. Your brow furrowed. You called a second time. Then a third. Still nothing.
By the fourth attempt, the call finally connected. You let out a massive sigh of relief, preparing to scold him thoroughly for making you worry.
"Hello? Mrs. Ryomen?" a sleek, unfamiliar voice answered. "Please do not call Mr. Ryomen right now. He is really busy."
Your breath hitched. Your blood ran cold. Why was his secretary holding his personal phone? And why on earth would Sukuna allow her to answer it?
"Where is my husband?" you demanded, your voice laced with cold authority, completely ignoring her dismissive tone.
In the background, Sukuna’s muffled, irritated bark echoed through the receiver: "Bring those fucking documents over here, sign them, and hang up that fucking phone!"
The line instantly went dead.
You stared at the blank screen, a crushing weight settling on your chest. Tears pricked your eyes. How could he be so busy that he couldn't take literally five seconds to speak to his pregnant wife? And that secretary you knew she had crush on him. It was painfully obvious to everyone except Sukuna.
Biting your lip, you swallowed the lump in your throat. He'll be home soon, you told yourself. He'll explain.
But the hours bled into one another. Eight o'clock became nine. Nine became ten. By 11:14 PM, you were slumped on the couch, half asleep, thoroughly exhausted, and completely miserable. You hadn't eaten a single bite of the dinner you made, your appetite entirely ruined by anxiety and heartbreak.
Suddenly, the heavy click of the front door lock breaking the silence made you bolt upright.
Sukuna walked in, looking completely disheveled and radiating an intense, suffocating aura of fury. He aggressively ripped off his suit jacket, shoving it onto a hanger, and violently tossed his briefcase onto the entryway table. When his sharp red eyes finally met yours, they were burning with a dangerous anger. You didn't know what had gone wrong at the office, and frankly, at this point, you didn't care.
"Where the fuck have you been?!" you screamed, the pent up tears finally spilling over.
Sukuna scrunched his nose in deep irritation. "Stop yelling, Y/n" he groaned, running a hand over his face.
"No! Where the fuck were you?! I have been calling you for hours!" you yelled, storming over to him.
"I was busy, Y/n" he snapped, aggressively pushing his pink hair back from his forehead.
"Busy my ass! Maybe you were busy fucking some whore! Is that it? Why else did that bitch have your phone in her hand?!" you shrieked, completely blinded by hurt and pregnancy hormones.
Sukuna’s eyes widened, flashing with a terrifying rage. "What the... shut the fuck up! Do you even hear yourself right now? Calm the fuck down!" he roared, completely losing his temper.
"LOOK AT YOU! YOU'RE NOT EVEN DENYING IT!"
"What is your fucking problem?!" Sukuna bellowed, stepping into your space. "I just walked through the goddamn door! I just entered the house and you're already on my throat! No one is cheating on your insecure ass!"
The harsh words ripped through the air. The moment they left his mouth, a flicker of regret crossed his eyes. He was under immense, crushing pressure his father's company had been on the literal brink of bankruptcy that afternoon, and his head was spinning. But the damage was done.
"What?!" you whispered, your voice cracking. "Oh, fuck you, Sukuna! You pathetic, miserable bastard! I fucking hate you! I called you so many times! 'I was busy' you don't even do anything! The whole company was handed to you on a silver spoon! You don't even know how to do basic math! You're just a dumb, silver spoon loser with rich parents!"
Sukuna’s vision turned red. The raw insecurity he kept buried deep inside was violently triggered. "And what the fuck are you, huh?!" he snarled, his voice vibrating the walls. "What makes you any better than me?! You're nothing but an insecure, miserable bitch!"
The word hung heavily in the suffocating silence. Your heart felt like it had physically stopped beating. In the three years you had been together even during your worst initial arguments he had never, ever called you a name like that. Not even in jest.
The utter betrayal shattered you. Heavy, silent tears poured down your face.
Seeing your tears, Sukuna let out a frustrated growl, unable to handle the emotional whiplash. "Calm the fuck down. I’m not doing this with you tonight. I'm going out." He violently snatched his coat back off the hanger and turned toward the door.
"Sukuna!" you cried out, panicked. Despite the horrific things you had just screamed at each other, the thought of him leaving you alone in the dead of night made your chest seize with terror. At the end of the day, you needed him just as much as he needed you.
He didn't look back. He threw the front door open and slammed it behind him with such monstrous force that the entire frame rattled, the faulty lock violently jamming into place.
You stood frozen in the entryway, sobbing uncontrollably.
Outside, Sukuna marched to his car, his chest heaving. He instantly cursed himself, agonizingly regretting every single word that had crossed his lips. He was an angry, prideful man, but he loved you fiercely. All he had wanted after a soul crushing day of fighting to save his family's legacy was to come home, lay his head in your lap, and let you soothe the stress away. Instead, he had destroyed the one safe heaven he had. He utterly loathed himself for what he had called you.
He fired up the engine, tearing down the street. He drove at breakneck speeds through the neon-lit city, trying to outrun his own rage, before slowly forcing himself to ease off the gas. 'Calm the fuck down' he told himself 'You're going to be a father. You can't drive like a reckless idiot anymore.'
Inside the quiet house, you collapsed onto the cold marble floor of the foyer, curling into a ball as heavy, agonizing sobs wracked your entire body. Your heart ached with a physical, sickening pain. You knew the fight had escalated because of stress and raging pregnancy hormones, but the emotional wound was deep. You cried until your throat was raw, your vision completely blurred by thick tears.
Shifting slightly, you felt a strange, warm wetness pooling beneath your thighs.
In the dim light of the entryway, you couldn't quite see what it was. Trembling, you reached down, your fingers brushing against a thick, viscous fluid.
Your entire soul froze. The air left your lungs. Slowly, frantically, you wiped the tears from your eyes and looked down at your hand.
It was covered in bright, dark red blood.
A heavy trail of crimson was spreading rapidly across the white marble floor beneath your burgundy nightie.
The world tilted on its axis. A primal, blood curling scream tore from your throat. "No... No... no, no, NO!!"
Panic, absolute and blinding, took over. You grabbed your phone from the floor with trembling, bloody fingers and dialed Sukuna’s number. You pressed it to your ear, sobbing hysterically as it rang... and rang... until it finally rolled over to voicemail.
Cruising down the highway, Sukuna stared at his glowing phone screen as your contact photo flashed. He swallowed hard, letting out a heavy sigh. He didn't pick it up, fully believing you were just calling to scream at him some more, and his fragile mental state couldn't take another round.
Back in the house, you dialed again. And again. Twice more, the call went completely unanswered.
"Please, God, no..." you wept, the terror suffocating you. You slid your hand beneath your underwear, frantically pressing against yourself as if your bare hands could somehow halt the bleeding, but it was useless. The crimson stain only grew larger.
Scrambling to your feet, you threw yourself at the front door. You grabbed the handle and yanked, but it wouldn't budge. Panic rising to a fever pitch, you grabbed the key sitting in the deadbolt and tried to turn it, but the faulty mechanism was completely, brutally jammed. It wouldn't turn even a millimeter.
A sharp, agonizing cramp suddenly ripped through your lower abdomen, forcing you to your knees with a choked scream.
"No!!! Please, my baby... my baby!!!" you shrieked, tears blinding you. You grabbed your phone to call an ambulance, but the screen flashed a cruel, mocking warning before completely dying, the battery entirely drained.
You slammed your fists against the solid wood of the door. "Someone help me!!!! Please!!! I'm locked in!!!!" you screamed into the empty neighborhood, your voice cracking with despair. You grabbed a heavy decorative vase from the hallway table and smashed it against the door, but it shattered into useless pieces. Exhausted, weak from blood loss, and utterly broken, you collapsed back onto the bloody floor, crying out into the dark.
A few miles away, Sukuna pulled his car over to the side of the road, staring blankly at his dashboard. He felt an ominous, sickening pit form in his stomach. You hadn't called back. Knowing your stubborn nature, you were the type to call a hundred times until he picked up just to get the last word. The sudden silence was deafening.
Suddenly, his phone lit up. His heart leaped with relief, assuming it was you, but the relief vanished when he saw the name of his next door neighbor on the screen.
He flipped the phone open instantly. "Hello?"
"Hello? Mr. Ryomen?" the neighbor's hesitant voice came through. "Is everything alright over there? The kids have school tomorrow, and we’ve been hearing some loud screaming and crying coming from your house for a while now. Do we need to call the police or interfere?"
Sukuna’s entire body went completely rigid. His blood turned to ice. "What the hell are you talking about? I’m not even ho-"
He slammed the phone shut, threw the car into reverse, and pulled a violent U-turn. He slammed his foot onto the accelerator, driving with a terrifying, demonic speed, completely blowing through red lights and stop signs. He didn't care about tickets. He didn't care about anything. His heart was hammering against his ribs like a trapped animal, a horrifying intuition screaming in his mind that something was terribly, terribly wrong.
When he finally fishtailed into the driveway, his headlights illuminated a small crowd of anxious neighbors gathered on his porch.
Sukuna threw the car door open and sprinted up the lawn, violently shoving people out of his way. "What the fuck are you doing on my property?!" he roared, his eyes wild.
He stopped dead when he saw one of the men trying to force a crowbar into the jammed front door frame. Before he could unleash his fury on them, a faint, weak sob echoed from the other side of the wood.
His heartbeat completely stopped. "Y... Y/N? Y/N?!!!" he screamed, his voice cracking with a raw terror no one had ever heard from the stoic CEO. "What the fuck?! My wife! Y/N!!! Are you alright?!!" He threw his massive weight against the door, but it didn't budge.
"Sir, the door is completely jammed! We heard her screaming for help, so we came to-"
"Y/N!!!! Y/N, MY BABY!! MY LOVE?!!!!" Sukuna lost his mind. He slammed his broad shoulder into the heavy wooden door with everything he had. The wood groaned, but the deadbolt held fast. He slammed his fist through the small glass pane near the top, his knuckles splitting open, blood splattering against the white paint. "Please! My wife!!!! My unborn baby is in there, open the fucking door!" Tears of sheer panic finally spilled from his red eyes, shocking the neighbors standing by.
"...I'm bleeding... please help..." your weak, barely audible whisper drifted through the cracked wood.
The sound broke something inside Sukuna. His head spun violently, his knees buckling for a fraction of a second against the frame. "Y/N! FUCK, FUCK, FUCK! MOVE AWAY FROM THE DOOR!"
With a roar of pure, unadulterated desperation, Sukuna threw his entire body against the door one final time. The wood splintered, the jammed frame gave way, and the door burst open with a loud, deafening crash.
Sukuna stumbled inside, and the sight before him instantly turned his world to ash.
You were slumped on the cold marble floor, a pale, fragile figure surrounded by a horrific pool of deep crimson blood. The neighbors gasped in horror behind him, someone immediately shouting into their phone to demand an ambulance.
You stared blankly at your own blood stained hands, your glassy, exhausted eyes slowly rising to meet Sukuna's.
The terrifying, invincible Ryomen Sukuna fell to his knees, his entire body trembling violently. He slid through the blood, desperately scooping your weak body up into his arms, cradling your head against his broad chest. His hands shook as he pressed you close. "I'm sorry... I'm so fucking sorry, my love... please, please..."
With the last ounce of your strength, you weakly placed your bloody palms against his chest, trying to push his embrace away. You looked down at the blood coating his expensive suit, the reality of the situation settling deep into your bones. You knew your body. You knew medicine. You already knew the tiny, beautiful life you had created together was gone.
"It's over..." you whispered, your voice completely devoid of life.
"No! The fuck it is! No, my love, look at me!" Sukuna begged, his voice cracking into a sob as he pressed his forehead against yours, his tears mixing with the sweat on your face. "Everything is going to be alright. Our baby is going to be fine, the ambulance is coming-"
"No." you interrupted softly, your eyes hollow as you stared right through him. "Our marriage is over."
(you are welcome, good night, you better not flop)

Trying to tell your teenage son about you pregnancy
Part 1
Part 2
The Tv flickered with the low, steady hum of a lazy late night movie, casting long, soft shadows across the living room. You were curled up comfortably on Sukuna’s lap, the solid weight of his arms around you providing a familiar, grounded warmth. It was a rare, quiet interlude in the house, both of you simply waiting for your son, Yuji, to return home from dropping off his girlfriend.
"I really love Christian Bale" you murmured gently, your eyes fixed on the screen but your mind drifting.
"Oh yeah?" Sukuna grunted. A low rumble vibrated deep within his chest as his arms tightened possessively around your waist.
You let out a soft chuckle, leaning back farther against him, letting his steady rhythm soothe you. The comfort of his presence was absolute, a stark contrast to the fearsome reputation he carried outside these walls. With a deliberate movement, you reached for the remote and clicked the television off, turning fully in his lap to face him. He looked down at you, the harsh lines of his face softening into a small, remarkably gentle smile.
"Did you like Yuji's girlfriend?" you asked, searching his eyes.
Sukuna rested a large hand on your shoulder, his thumb tracing a slow, soothing circle against your skin before he leaned down, burying his face in the crook of your neck. He inhaled deeply, drawing in your scent as if grounding himself.
"She’s a calm, normal girl" he muttered, his voice muffled against your skin. "None of that fake nonsense. No trying to impress or butter anyone up. She comes from a good family too. She had good manners."
You leaned into his touch, but a lingering anxiety tightened in your chest. Your hand found its way into his soft, pink hair, your fingers gently weaving through the strands as you tried to find the right words.
"Are we... going to tell Yuji about the pregnancy?" You sighed, the words carrying a sudden weight of awkwardness and embarrassment.
Sukuna let out a long sigh against your neck before pulling back just enough to look you dead in the eye. "What's gotten into you? Of course we're going to tell him. Y/n, stop stressing over nothing, alright? There is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. There are some people who have children in their fifties"
You nodded, a wave of relief washing over you as you nuzzled your face back against his chest. Beneath your cheek, his heartbeat was loud, steady, and rhythmic a constant, silent reminder of his vow that it beat only for you. His hand moved down to stroke your head, his fingers gently smoothing your hair.
"Which room should we start converting into the nursery?" you asked quietly, pressing closer to him.
"Maybe the one on the second floor, right next to Yuji's" Sukuna replied thoughtfully. "That way we can keep a close eye on her—"
Your head snapped up, your eyes wide with enthusiasm. "Did you just say her?! I knew it! I knew you wanted a girl too!"
A rare, genuine chuckle escaped his lips. His expression softened entirely as he leaned down and pressed a warm kiss to your forehead. "Yeah. Well, I do."
"You are going to be such an adorable, cute girldad" you said, reaching up to cup his jaw. The touch made his eyes soften further, and he leaned into your hand before pressing a tender, lingering peck onto your lips.
"Hmm. You really think so?" he murmured against your mouth, a slow grin spreading across his face as you nodded eagerly.
The warmth of the moment lingered, but a sudden wave of sentimentality washed over you. "You know... I’m starting to feel a little sad about how quickly time passes. Yuji was such a small, sweet baby when he was born, and now he’s going to turn sixteen in just a few months."
You looked up at him, your vision blurring as tears pooled in your eyes. Sukuna’s heart ached at the sight; he utterly detested seeing you cry. Yet, underneath the protective instinct, a rare touch of vulnerability crossed his own mind he, too, despised how relentlessly fast the years were slipping by.
Gently, he used his thumb to brush away the tears that had begun to spill down your cheeks. "Yeah. He was calm baby, actually. When you were pregnant with the brat, everyone kept warning us, 'Get used to staying up late' or 'Say goodbye to your free time.' that was all bullshit."
A watery laugh escaped you. He was right. everyone had given the same exhausting advice. Even Toji, who was expecting a child around the same time, had looked entirely drained by the prospect, far more exhausted than his own partner.
"But when Yuji arrived, he was the quietest baby alive" Sukuna continued, a small, proud smile touching his lips. You knew exactly how deeply he loved his son, even if his usual demeanor made him terrible at showing it to the world.
"I still remember waking up in the middle of the night to find you standing over his crib" you teased softly, the memory bringing a bright smile to your face. "You were holding a single finger right under his nose just to see if he was still breathing. I almost screamed the first time I saw this massive, imposing shadow hovering over our child, until I realized it was just my husband checking on him."
Sukuna let out a sharp snort, looking away slightly. "Pfft, don't remind me. The brat was so quiet I thought he might be... whatever." He shook his head, his hand sliding down from your waist to rest flat against your stomach.
"I hope this next one is a little more cheerful and chaotic, like me" he mused, a wide, mischievous grin returning to his features. "We need some actual excitement around here. It's getting boring. What do you mean my son hasn't been expelled for picking fights yet? Why isn't his teacher calling us every week to complain about his grades?"
"Because his personality is like mine" you retorted playfully, rolling your eyes. "He’s a calm, proper gentleman."
"Oh? So you're saying I'm not a gentleman?" Sukuna challenged, his fingers lightly squeezing your waist.
"Maybe."
"Is that how it is?"
Before you could laugh, Sukuna shifted his weight, pulling you flush against him so you were facing him entirely. "I'm joking! Chill" you giggled, your face flushing as his grip tightened on your hips, dragging you impossibly closer.
His lips met yours, cutting off your laughter with a soft, deliberate kiss that quickly deepened into something far hungrier. His tongue slid past your lips, tangling with yours in a deep, possessive rhythm that drew a quiet whine from the back of your throat. His hands moved with practiced heat, sliding beneath the hem of your nightie, tracing the curve of your waist before moving upward to cup and gently squeeze your breasts. You shifted against him, a soft moan escaping you as his touch drifted lower, sliding past your stomach and beneath your underwear.
Rrring.
The sharp chime of the doorbell shattered the quiet room. Sukuna let out a harsh, irritated grunt against your lips. He pulled his hands back from beneath your clothes, but refused to let you go entirely, trailing a path of resentful, heavy kisses down the line of your neck.
The doorbell rang a second time, louder this time.
"FUCK OFF!" Sukuna roared toward the hallway.
You pressed a hand over your mouth, giggling at his sheer irritation.
"What do you mean, 'fuck off'?! This is my house too!" Yuji’s voice shouted back clearly from the other side of the door.
Sukuna pulled away, his expression a mask of pure annoyance. "Used to cockblock me when he was five, still does it now. Asshole kid," he muttered under his breath. He swung his legs off the couch and stood up, stomping over to the front door and yanking it open to glare down at his son.
"Chill, Pops. You're acting like I committed a crime" Yuji said, flashing a wide, teasing grin as he stepped inside, casually patting Sukuna on the shoulder as he passed.
"What the hell is 'Pops'? It's Father. I am not a Pokémon" Sukuna snapped, slamming the front door shut with a heavy thud.
You burst into a quiet fit of laughter from the couch, thoroughly enjoying the domestic chaos. Yuji walked into the living room, a bright smile on his face. "Alright, alright. The strongest, the best, the most hardworking. protector of the household... my Father." He said with dramatic effects
That threw you over the edge. You laughed out loud as Yuji came over and sat beside you on the edge of the couch, both of you completely unified in teasing the man currently glaring daggers at you from the center of the room.
"That was good!" you gasped, wiping a tear from your eye.
"Right?!" Yuji laughed, leaning his shoulder against yours while Sukuna’s eyes narrowed to dangerous slits.
"You two" Sukuna growled, though there was no real malice behind it. "Do whatever the hell you want. All I get in this house is disrespect from the kid I literally made. Just wait until my precious daughter is born. She’ll never treat me like this." He turned on his heel, marching toward the kitchen to vent his frustration on a bowl of fruit.
The room suddenly went entirely still. Yuji’s laughter cut off instantly.
Your posture tensed, the playful smile freezing on your face. Yuji looked toward the kitchen, then slowly turned his head to look directly at you, his eyes wide with realization.
"Are you... pregnant?" Yuji asked, his voice dropping into a shocked, hesitant whisper.
You let out a quiet sigh, looking toward the kitchen threshold. Sukuna walked back into the living room, holding a freshly prepared plate of sliced fruit. His expression had shifted back to that calm, grounded baseline, his eyes offering you a silent, reassuring support. You swallowed hard, suddenly losing the courage to speak the words aloud under Yuji’s intense, searching gaze.
"She is pregnant." Sukuna stated flatly, stepping up to the couch and setting the plate down.
You kept your eyes trained on your lap, nervously waiting for your son's reaction, wondering if the sudden change would upset him.
"What?!" Yuji suddenly yelled, a massive grin breaking across his face. "So that means I can take her for walks?!" Before you could even process the words, he threw his arms around you, pulling you into a fierce, joyful hug and planting a massive kiss on your cheek.
Your heart melted instantly. He was still your incredibly sweet boy. there was never any doubt that he would welcome a new sibling with open arms.
"She isn’t a dog you can take for a walk, brat!" Sukuna grunted, though the corners of his mouth twitched upward as he sat down on your other side.
"I know! But seriously! This is amazing. I’m so happy, congratulations mom!!" Yuji said, finally pulling back but keeping a hand on your arm. "Though honestly, you guys should’ve given me a sibling when I was like, three—"
"And what else should we have given you? A house? A mansion? A black card, maybe a yatch? A sports car?" Sukuna countered, giving him a flat look.
"A car wouldn't be the worst idea" Yuji smirked. The smirk vanished a second later when Sukuna reached over and delivered a swift, affectionate thud to his upper back.
Sukuna picked up a piece of kiwi from the plate and held it out to you. You smiled gratefully, taking it from his fingers. "I really like the kiwi right now" you murmured, your mouth slightly full as you reached for another piece.
Sukuna watched you eat, his gaze heavy and incredibly soft, before he leaned across the small space and pressed a sweet, lingering kiss right over your fruit flavored lips.
"At least don't do that corny stuff right in front of me" Yuji groaned, reaching out to snatch a slice of banana from the plate to cover his mock disgust.
Sukuna immediately slapped his hand away. "Go cut your own. I made this for my wife."
"Ugh, please. She's my mom, and she always lets me eat from her plate. Right, Mom?" Yuji retorted, leaning back in to plant another dramatic kiss on your cheek just to provoke his father.
At this point, you were caught directly in the middle, physically squeezed between two massive, warm blooded boys as the temperature in the room seemed to spike. "Both of you, get away from me! It's too hot!"
"Uh oh, scary" Sukuna teased, a slow grin spreading across his face as he took a step back.
"The superwoman has awakened!" Yuji whispered in mock terror, retreating alongside his father.
You rolled your eyes with immense affection, setting the empty plate on the coffee table and stretching out across the large, comfortable couch. Grabbing the remote, you pulled up the series you had started months ago, finally relaxing.
"Alright, I'm heading upstairs. Love you, Mom" Yuji said, leaning down one last time to kiss your forehead before jogging up the stairs.
Sukuna remained standing by the edge of the couch, his hands resting loosely in the pockets of his sweatpants. He didn't move, his eyes locked entirely on you, silently demanding your attention.
"What are you staring at?" you asked, glancing up from the screen. "Don't you have something to do?"
"I could do you." Sukuna replied with a wicked grin.
You choked entirely on your breath, coughing slightly as he burst into a loud, booming laugh. He quickly poured a glass of water from the kitchen and handed it over, watching with amusement as you snatched it from his hand and took a hurried sip.
"Shut up!" you grumbled, your face burning red as he sat back down beside you, pulling you against his side for the rest of the night.
______
The pregnancy turned out to be an absolute ordeal. Over the course of those nine months, your shifting symptoms nearly gave Sukuna multiple heart attacks.
In the beginning, your hormones made you incredibly sharp and short.tempered. At first, you being mean to him, had secretly turned him on, but he quickly grew to despise it when it resulted in you denying him his morning kisses before work.
More than anything, he was worried sick about you. You had stubbornly insisted on continuing your shifts at the hospital until you reached your sixth month. Sukuna had ultimately relented because whatever his wife commanded, he would ultimately fulfill but every single day you came home pale and exhausted, he looked ready to lock the front door and keep you safely hidden away inside the house forever.
Then came the third trimester, where your appetite completely vanished, leaving you unable to tolerate anything except raw fruit. When the doctor noted at a routine check up that you were actually losing weight instead of gaining it, Sukuna completely panicked. He took matters into his own hands, spending hours cooking specialized meals or outright threatening Uraume to have their best culinary dishes delivered directly to the house
He took to calling your office at the hospital multiple times a day, his deep voice boisterous over the phone lines: "Y/n, this is your reminder to eat the lunch I packed. If I find out you skipped it, I'm driving over there myself."
Yuji was equally attentive. Whenever Sukuna was tied up with work, Yuji would sprint to the grocery store at a moment's notice to fetch whatever specific fruit you were craving. He would sit on the floor by the couch for hours, quietly rubbing your swollen feet or gently combing through your hair when you were too exhausted to move.
But despite the grueling chaos of the journey, your beautiful daughter was finally born.
The moment she was delivered, Sukuna the most dangerous intimidating man you knew had stood by the hospital bed, completely sobbing. It was a moment of absolute vulnerability that he immediately, fiercely threatened you never to speak of to anyone, especially not to Yuji.
You Both named her Michiko, though within days, everyone simply called her Mimi. She was an absolute angel, just as quiet as Yuji had been as a newborn, but with a distinct personality of her own. She possessed an incredible, chubby set of cheeks filled with baby fat that Sukuna was entirely obsessed with. She looked almost identical to her father, born with a faint, reddish tint to her eyes that eventually settled into a warm, deep brown after two months a change that secretly made you feel a bit better, considering you were the one who had carried her for nine freaking months.
"Mom, seriously, it looks like we're celebrating New Year's Eve, not Mimi’s fifth month milestone" Yuji said, letting out a breath as he set two massive bags of groceries down on the kitchen counter.
You were sitting on the living room couch, cradling your sleeping baby girl against your chest. At five months old, Mimi was exceptionally calm, though she had already developed a fierce dislike for strangers particularly older ladies with white hair. She had mastered an incredibly expressive, judgmental side eye that made everyone laugh, leaving you to constantly wonder exactly which side of the family she had inherited that from.
Definitely from Sukuna.
"Well, we invited everyone over" you whispered softly, careful not to disturb her sleep. "Megumi and Kugisaki are coming, and it would be terrible if we didn't have enough food to feed them properly."
Yuji tiptoed into the living room, hovering over the couch to look down at his baby sister. "Whoa... she’s so cute. Can I hold her for a bit?" He carefully slid onto the cushions beside you, extending his arms with practiced care.
When you gently transferred the sleeping bundle into his lap, Mimi stirred slightly, nuzzling her face deep into his hoodie. Yuji let out a soft, delighted sigh, his eyes completely bright. "She's so cute."
"Where is your father?" you asked, slowly pushing yourself up from the couch and stretching your stiff muscles.
"He's right behind me, bringing in the rest of the heavy stuff" Yuji replied, his eyes never leaving his sister.
You nodded, walking slowly into the kitchen to begin sorting through the supplies. Beneath your shirt, your breasts felt heavy and full. You had been exclusively breastfeeding Mimi since the day she was born, which you secretly credited for how wonderfully chubby and healthy her limbs had become.
Your body had gone through massive changes during the pregnancy, but surprisingly, within just a month after giving birth, your shape had rapidly snapped back to its original size. Paradoxically, that had actually made Sukuna incredibly annoyed. he had developed a strange obsession with your soft, pregnant belly, a preference you chose not to question too deeply.
"When do you think she'll wake up?" Yuji called out from the next room.
"Probably soon. She's due for a feeding" you answered, lifting heavy jars of sauce and containers out of the bags
Suddenly, the front door swung open with a heavy thud, followed by a loud, familiar grunt.
"Where is--did you wash your dirty hands before you touched my daughter, brat?!" Sukuna’s voice bellowed in a harsh whisper as he walked through the threshold, his arms loaded with the remaining grocery bags.
You let out a quiet, tired sigh, too exhausted to even voice a standard scold. The compounding fatigue of the past few months had completely wrecked your appetite again, causing you to lose far more weight than was healthy. To keep Sukuna from constantly worrying or hovering over you, you had taken to wearing his massive, oversized t-shirts around the house to hide how thin you had gotten.
Slowly, you began organizing the counter bottles of beer, wine, snacks, and various ingredients that the teenagers would inevitably inhale. You had already prepared an extensive spread. multiple types of pasta, homemade soups, fresh salads, and large pitchers of juice.
"I’m going upstairs for a few minutes" you called out quietly, leaning against the counter for support. "Please put the rest of the groceries away, and let Mimi sleep as long as she needs to."
Without waiting for a response, you turned and walked up the stairs. Sukuna paused in the middle of the kitchen, his sharp eyes narrowing as he watched your retreating figure. You looked different. The line of your shoulders, the way you walked.it was too deliberate, too heavy. You were his wife. he noticed every single micro expression and shift in your posture. He knew post.birth recovery was grueling, but a sharp knot of worry tightened in his chest. Something wasn't right.
"Is Mom okay?" Yuji asked quietly from the couch, his cheerful demeanor dropping as he looked toward the stairs.
Sukuna snapped out of his thoughts, setting the heavy bags onto the counter with a muted thud. "I don't know... I'm going up to check on her. Stay here with your sister."
You collapsed onto the mattress, curling onto your side in the center of the large bed. You desperately needed just a few minutes of quiet before the house became loud with guests. A few moments later, the bedroom door clicked open and closed softly. You kept your eyes shut, assuming it was just Sukuna coming up to change out of his work clothes.
Instead, you felt a massive, familiar weight settle onto the mattress beside you. A heavy head came to rest directly against your chest, and two thick, tattooed arms wrapped completely around your waist, pulling you securely against his frame.
You opened your eyes to find Sukuna looking up at you from his position against your chest, his expression raw and entirely focused on your face.
"Hey..." he murmured softly, his hand sliding down to rub your thigh in a slow, comforting rhythm. "Is everything alright? Because I can easily call the guests right now and tell them all to fuck off. We can send Mimi to Uraume’s for the night, and you can just rest."
A weak, incredibly grateful smile touched your lips. You shifted your body, turning fully into his embrace and burying your face against his solid chest. His arms tightened instantly, holding you as if you might break.
"I'm just so exhausted" you whispered into his shirt, the vulnerability finally breaking through. "It's not Mimi...she’s a calm and wonderful baby. It’s just the constant breastfeeding, the lack of energy... I don't know. I just feel completely miserable today. I'm sorry."
Sukuna’s hand immediately moved to cup your chin, gently but firmly forcing you to look up into his eyes. "Sorry for what? Y/n, I love you so damn much. I fucking hate seeing you like this. If anyone should be apologizing, it's me. I should be doing more. Just tell me what you need, anything."
The sincerity in his gaze brought a warmth to your chest. You leaned up and pressed your lips to his, a deep, emotional kiss that he returned instantly with a quiet intensity. When you finally pulled back, a thin silver thread of saliva connected your lips in the quiet space of the room.
"You're the best husband I could have ever asked for, Ryo" you murmured "I love you too. Just stay right here with me. I'll be fine."
He smiled, a genuine, soft expression, and leaned down to press another tender kiss to your cheek.
Waaaaah!
A sharp, loud wail pierced through the floorboards from downstairs. Sukuna froze, letting out a brief sigh. He gave your cheek one last quick peck before rolling off the bed. "I'll be right back."
By the time he reached the bottom of the stairs, Yuji was holding a crying Mimi at arm's length, looking entirely out of his depth. "I think she peed herself or something" Yuji offered logically.
"No, she didn't. She's hungry" Sukuna stated, expertly taking his daughter into his massive arms. He cradled her close, his large frame swaying gently from side to side in a rhythmic, practiced motion. "Shh... Mimi, Daddy's here. Relax now..."
Mimi’s loud wails immediately dissolved into small, pathetic sniffles. She nuzzled her face against his collarbone, her tiny fist tightly gripping the fabric of his shirt. Sukuna’s expression melted entirely at the gesture.
Holding her with one arm, he walked into the kitchen and checked the refrigerator, finding the pre.pumped bottles completely empty. He absolutely detested the thought of disturbing your rest, but looking down at his hungry daughter, he knew there was no other choice.
"Can I help with anything else?" Yuji asked, looking around the kitchen.
Sukuna shook his head, his focus entirely on the baby. "Nah. Just finish setting up the snacks, get the beer out, and clean up the counters before people get here."
With that, he turned and carried Mimi back up the stairs. The little girl had tiny, glistening tears in her deep brown eyes, looking up at him with an incredibly annoyed expression before letting out another sharp whine. "Shh... be patient, princess. You're getting your milk right now."
When Sukuna pushed the bedroom door open, he froze at the threshold, his throat suddenly going completely dry.
You were sitting up against the headboard, the front of your blouse already unbuttoned and draped open in preparation. The sight immediately sent a wave of entirely unprompted, dark thoughts rushing through his mind.
"Bring her here" you murmured softly, completely breaking him out of his trance.
Sukuna stepped forward and carefully transferred Mimi into your arms. The moment she smelled you, she calmed down entirely. Her tiny mouth found your breast, and she began to nurse happily, her chubby cheeks puffing out with every rhythmic swallow. A peaceful, contented smile spread across your face as you looked down at her.
Sukuna swallowed hard, taking a seat on the edge of the mattress and watching the display with a heavy gaze. "She’s bulking at this point."
You let out a soft chuckle. "Definitely. Look at all those little baby muscles."
"I would call it pure fat" Sukuna countered playfully, reaching out a large, tattooed finger to gently poke at her rounded cheek.
Mimi suddenly popped off for a brief second, looking up at her father. She flashed him a tiny, milk.drunk smile before immediately latching back on to continue nursing. Sukuna let out a sharp snort, his chest swelling with affection. "Wow. She is adorable." He leaned down to press a soft kiss to the top of her head, his fingers gently tangling in the tuft of soft pink hair that perfectly matched his own.
The room fell into a quiet, warm silence, broken only by the sound of the baby feeding.
"Y/n..." Sukuna muttered unexpectedly, his fingers still tracing the soft strands of Mimi's hair.
"Mhm?" you replied, keeping your eyes on him.
Sukuna cleared his throat, his eyes shifting slightly away from yours. You noticed with immense amusement that the tips of his ears had turned a distinct, bright shade of red. "Can I... taste it too?"
If he had asked with his usual arrogant smirk, you might have given him a sharp reprimand, but seeing him look so genuinely flustered and embarrassed.a man who was about to turn thirty seven years old.was entirely too cute
You let out a quiet, melodic chuckle. "Sure, Ryo."
"Really?!" His head snapped back up, his eyes wide with instant excitement.

Ryomen Sukuna x f!reader
Your life changes forever when you are forced into a political marriage with Ryomen Sukuna, the King of cruses. To save your own kingdom you sacrifice yourself. But Becoming Sukuna's fourth wife is far from a fairy tale.
Part 1
You sat before a towering figure of a man surrounded by a sea of onlookers. Most of them were your own flesh and blood, your family, yet you had never felt more alone.
His piercing red eyes never once drifted toward you. His lips didn't twitch. he didn't smile. And you were more than glad for it. After all, your father was marrying you off to the most powerful, terrifying human alive if he could even be called a human at all.
Ryomen Sukuna.
You were adorned in a stark white marriage kimono, the most expensive garment you had ever worn in your life. It was a fair exchange in your father's eyes. your life in exchange for the kingdom’s freedom. A freedom that cost you your entire future.
But perhaps being married off to a monster was better than staying. In the eyes of your court, you were the unwanted daughter. You weren't like the other princesses. You were the daughter who spoke up for herself, the one who did exactly what she wanted, refusing to bow to expectations. Your mother had been a princess from a distant foreign land, which was why your features looked so starkly different from everyone else in the kingdom.
Yet, there was no denying that you were majestic. Divine, even.
Shifting slightly, you lifted your gaze to look at the man sitting cross-legged before you. His four massive arms looked terrifyingly powerful. It was a cruel irony, a man who had slaughtered half the kingdom was receiving better treatment than the eldest princess of the realm. But that was the reality of absolute power. If you were strong enough, the very people who despised you would crawl on their knees to touch your feet.
You, however, would never crawl. If you were forced to marry Ryomen Sukuna, you would rather find a way to kill him before he could ever kill you.
The worst part of this arrangement? You weren't even his first wife. You were the fourth. Being the fourth wife meant you were expected to learn his quirks, to blend into the background of his existing court, and to find ways to please him. But you had no intention of doing so. You didn't care about this monster.
Suddenly, his sharp, crimson eyes snapped directly to yours, as if he could hear the treacherous thoughts spinning in your head. Your breath caught. The only thing separating your gazes was the sheer, white lace veil covering your face, but you were certain he could see right through it. Boldly, you didn't look away. You studied his features the two extra eyes resting beneath his primary ones, his skin heavily decorated in dark sweeping ink.
"Lady Y/n. Look down!" your sister whisper yelled from beside you, gently pressing your head downward in a panic, desperate to shield you from a gaze that could mean death.
Yet, you could still feel his eyes boring into you, heavy and suffocating.
The elderly priest continued the ceremony, his voice trembling as he chanted ancient prayers and offered sacred herbs. Even the holy man's hands were shaking violently. It made you wonder...if this priest believed so deeply in the gods, why was he so utterly terrified of the creature sitting before him? Was Sukuna not a creation of the gods as well?
"My Lord... please, tie this around your bride" the priest stammered, his terror palpable. With a trembling hand, he extended a sacred red thread toward the monster who sat as if he owned the entire world.
Without a word, Sukuna yanked the thread out of the old man's grasp. He leaned forward, his massive frame casting a shadow over you. Sensing the cue, your sisters stepped forward and pulled the veil away, exposing your face completely to him.
Ryomen Sukuna paused.
His dark, blood-red eyes slowed, raking over your features. His gaze traveled over the bridge of your nose, the curve of your lips, and the distinct shape of your eyes. Everything about you was foreign, striking, and entirely unique. At that moment, Sukuna finally understood why the desperate king had so willingly offered up his eldest daughter.
A dark, mocking smile pulled at the corners of Sukuna's lips. Holding your gaze, two of his massive hands reached behind your neck, deftly tying the sacred thread.
Instantly, the tension in the room snapped, and the courtyard burst into cheers and laughter. The kingdom celebrated as if your sacrifice had just miraculously solved all their problems.
You looked down at his remaining two hands resting idly on his lap. They were immense, heavily scarred, and visibly strong enough to crush anyone in the room without effort. When you looked back up, you found his lower set of eyes staring intently at you, making your breath hitch, while his upper eyes focused on finalizing the knot. If you had to find a single redeeming quality in his monstrous appearance, it was his hair an unusual, vibrant shade of pink and the mesmerizing depth of those crimson eyes. You had never seen anything like him.
He truly looked one of those myths that you have read in old books.
When he finally pulled away, the suffocating pressure lifted, and you could breathe again.
"Congratulations, my daughter, and Lord Sukuna!" your father beamed, stepping forward with a wide, sycophantic smile that made your stomach turn. "My daughter will please you and care for you dutifully. You will never have to worry about her."
Sukuna stood up, entirely ignoring your father's speech. The blatant disrespect immediately wiped the smile from the king's face, forcing him to remember exactly where he stood. Being the monster's father-in-law did not grant him immunity from a swift execution.
"We are leaving." Sukuna commanded.
His voice was a deep, resonant rumble tough, masculine, yet unnervingly calm. It was a voice you knew would haunt your dreams. He didn't bother looking back at you as he walked away. You didn't mind. You had no desire to be just another bed warmer, and judging by his reputation, he already had three others to occupy his time.
The carriage ride was silent. The wooden compartment was fully enclosed, a design meant to grant privacy to the newlyweds, but it felt more like an inescapable cage. The carriage couldn't move fast enough. It was impossible to relax with such a massive, imposing man sitting directly across from you, tracking your every micro-expression like a predator watching prey.
For a long time, you kept your eyes glued to your own hands resting on your lap. But the weight of his stare became too heavy to ignore. When you finally lifted your head, you found him watching you with a cruel smirk playing on his lips.
"How does it feel to be the unwanted child?" he asked, his voice dripping with mockery.
Those were the very first words your husband chose to speak to you. Your eyes narrowed, snapping toward his with a flash of cold disdain. This was the man who had slaughtered thousands without a second thought, a living plague on the land, and he was trying to provoke you. You resolved right then to never let him see you break.
"Saying that will not make me sad, My Lord" you replied, your voice perfectly calm, steady, and devoid of the tears he expected.
The smirk vanished from Sukuna's face. The lack of an emotional reaction clearly displeased him. Frowning, he turned his head away, staring out the small window of the carriage. He appeared to lose all interest in your presence, irritated by the fact that you had the audacity to speak back to him so evenly.
"My Lord?" you murmured softly into the silence.
His dark eyes snapped back to you, sharp and lethal. "Speak."
"May I make a request of you, as your wife?"
Sukuna stared at you for a long beat, as if you had just uttered the most ridiculous joke he had ever heard. He let out a low, mocking scoff. "And what could a mere human like you possibly want? Let's hear it. Consider it a wedding present, if I am amused."
You looked him dead in the eye. "I do not wish to be intimate with you."
Sukuna’s expression hardened, his voice dropping into a rough, bitter growl. "And who said I would ever touch a human like you? You do not possess the kind of beauty that pleases a man. You think too highly of yourself, little woman. No one wants you. Not me, and certainly not your own family."
The words were harsh, designed to cut deep, and a part of you knew he spoke the absolute truth. But instead of letting him see the sting, you simply averted your gaze, looking out toward the passing scenery as the carriage carried you deeper into his territory.
The silence that followed his words was thick, heavy, and suffocating. Sukuna’s harsh, mocking syllables seemed to bounce off the wooden walls of the closed carriage, hanging in the air like a foul mist. To any other noblewoman in the kingdom, such a brutal dismissal from the King of Curses would have been a death sentence to their pride, a devastating blow that would leave them weeping into the silk of their expensive kimono.
But you were not like the other princesses. You had spent your entire life breathing the cold air of isolation, thriving in the spaces where you were unwanted.
You slowly turned your gaze back toward him. Through the dim light filtering into the carriage, his four eyes glowed like embers burning in the dark. The massive extra pair of arms remained crossed over his broad, armored chest, a posture of absolute, unbothered dominance. He expected you to shrink. He expected the bitter truth of his words to crush whatever fragile royal dignity you had left.
Instead, a faint, razor-sharp smile touched your lips. It was a majestic, almost divine expression that looked entirely foreign to him a remnant of your mother’s distant bloodline.
"Then we are in perfect agreement, My Lord" you replied, your voice smooth and steady, without a single tremor of fear. "I am deeply relieved to know that my lack of appeal will grant me my peace."
Sukuna’s upper eyes narrowed slightly. The mocking smirk vanished from his rugged face, replaced by a tense, calculating silence. He was used to terror. He was used to women trembling beneath his shadow, begging for his favor or weeping for their lives. Your complete lack of fear wasn't just unexpected. it was borderline insulting to a creature who ruled by absolute dread.
"You have a sharp tongue for a barter piece" Sukuna rumbled, his deep, manly voice vibrating through the floorboards of the carriage. "Do not mistake my indifference for mercy, little woman. In my palace, those who speak out of turn find their tongues fed to the creatures you only have heard In stories "
"I do not ask for mercy" you said, looking him directly in his lower set of eyes, refusing to back down. "I simply expect a warlord of your stature to keep his word. You promised me this lack of intimacy as a wedding present. I intend to hold you to it."
A low, dangerous sound rumbled in Sukuna’s chest a half-grunt, half-chuckle that sent a chill down the spine of the guards riding outside the carriage. He leaned back against the cushions, his four arms shifting as he looked at you with a newfound, dark curiosity. You were an unwanted daughter, a political shield thrown into the jaws of a monster, yet you sat before him like a queen inspecting her domain.
"tsk tsk, Bold words from a creature whose neck I could snap with two fingers" he muttered, turning his face back toward the small window, staring out at the darkening landscape of his territory. "We shall see how long that pride lasts when you enter the domain of my other wives."
It was hilarious how he was the one calling you creature.
The journey felt endless, but eventually, the carriage jolted to a final stop. When the heavy wooden doors were thrown open, the sharp, metallic scent of iron and incense flooded your senses.
You stepped down onto the stone courtyard of Sukuna’s sprawling, fortress like palace. It was built of dark, towering timber and cold stone, looking more like a monument to war than a home. Standing in a neat, rigid line near the grand entrance were three beautiful women, all dressed in extravagant, multi-layered silk kimonos. Your husband's wives.
The moment their eyes fell upon you, the air grew thick with unspoken tension. They didn't look at you with sympathy. they looked at you with the sharp, calculating eyes of predators defending their territory. They saw your foreign features, your divine stature, and the pristine white of your bridal gown, and they immediately knew you were a threat to the delicate balance of the household.
Sukuna strode past all of you without a single glance, his massive form ascending the stone steps as his heavy footsteps echoed through the courtyard.
"Uraume" he commanded, not even looking back.
A pale, stoic figure emerged from the shadows of the doorway, bowing deeply. "Yes, My Lord?"
"Show the new tribute to the northern pavilion. The isolated one near the bamboo grove" Sukuna ordered carelessly, his rough voice carrying across the courtyard for everyone to hear. "She is not to be disturbed, and she is not to attend the evening banquets unless I explicitly demand it. She wishes for peace. Let her rot in it."
The three other wives exchanged subtle, victorious glances, their lips curving into cruel, satisfied smiles. To them, being sent to the isolated northern pavilion on your wedding night was the ultimate humiliation a public declaration that the master of the house had rejected you before the ink on the marriage scroll was even dry.
But as Uraume stepped forward, gesturing for you to follow, you simply bowed your head politely to your sister-wives. The serene, unbothered expression on your face never wavered.
"Right this way, Lady Y/n" Uraume said, their voice entirely devoid of emotion.
As you turned to follow the servant down the long, winding wooden corridors, you glanced back up at the high balcony of the main pavilion. Standing there, shrouded in the shadows of the sloping tiled roof, was Ryomen Sukuna. He was leaning against the railing, his four arms resting heavily on the wood as his piercing red eyes tracked your retreating form through the darkness.
He thought he had punished you by locking you away in the coldest, most isolated corner of his palace. He thought he had proven his dominance by throwing your father’s gift into the shadows.
But as you walked away from the main house, leaving the laughter and the politics behind, you let out a soft, genuine breath of relief. For the first time in your life, you were entirely alone, completely forgotten, and free to plan your next move. Ryomen Sukuna believed he had bought a powerless princess to secure a border, but he had just let a wolf pass through his gates and you had all the time in the world to figure out exactly how to make the monster bleed.

Ex husband Kuna x f!reader
Part 1
One year after your divorce, you run into your ex husband at a friend's birthday party. Neither of you expected to see each other again, and neither of you had prepared for the memories that come with it.
Part 2
The tears were already spilling over, hot and silent. You hated that you were crying in front of your ex-husband the only man you had ever loved so deeply because it made you feel so pathetic, a bitter ache settled in your chest. you hadn't even been able to defend your own honor, let alone the memory of your late baby. In the end, Sukuna had been the one to step up and handle it.
Wiping your cheeks with the back of your hand, you forced yourself to look away from him. But Sukuna was already staring. It was an old habit of his from when you were together whenever you spoke, or even when you were just standing near him, he would lock his gaze onto you as if he were trying to permanently memorize every single line of your face.
You used to love it.
Right now, though, the raw sorrow reflecting in his dark eyes was too much to bear. You didn't want him to feel pity for you. You didn't want him to feel any of this pain.
Fumbling with the zipper of your bag, you pulled out your phone, sniffing softly as you tried to open the Uber app. But before your trembling fingers could tap the screen, Sukuna spoke.
His voice was rough and gravelly, a grating edge left over from all the shouting and the violence he had unleashed on that disgusting woman. He was still radiating a tangible, dangerous heat that made him look intimidating and, despite everything, so much attractive.
"Hey. Come on, I’ll drop you off" he said.
You immediately shook your head, the embarrassment burning fresh in your throat. You had humiliated yourself enough in front of him tonight.
"Y/n" he said, his tone softening just a second "I won't bite. Just let me give you a ride. No funny business, I promise."
I promise. Hearing that word from him felt like a ghost from the old days. God, you missed everything about him. But the fragile remains of your pride wouldn’t let you admit it out loud.
Swallowing past the lump in your throat, you gave a small, hesitant nod. You took a few tentative steps toward him until you were standing right in his shadow. As he stood up to his full height, towering over you, it became instantly clear why everyone else was terrified of him just by a single glance.
You looked up, watching as he gently lifted his helmet from the bike's handlebar. "I don't have a spare with me" he murmured, holding it out. "Take this one."
As you reached out, your fingers brushed against his. The brief contact sent a sharp, electric jolt through your veins, and the world around you seemed to shift.
Instantly, your mind dragged you backward into the past. You remembered the early days of your marriage, when he had bought you a helmet in your favorite color, complete with customized Hello Kitty stickers he had painstakingly tracked down because he knew you loved them. He used to make a ritual out of putting it on your head every single time you went for a ride. Those had been your favorite moments looking up at him through the visor, your eyes teasing, watching the harshness in his deep red gaze completely melt away just for you.
"Need some help with it?"
His rough voice shattered the memory, pulling you back to the cold reality of the present. You quickly shook your head, rejecting the offer even though you were visibly struggling with the heavy straps.
Sukuna stared down at you for a long moment, a quiet understanding passing over his features. He gave a single, slow nod, dropped his cigarette onto the asphalt, and crushed it beneath the sole of his heavy black boot.
"Give me your address" he commanded, swinging his leg over the motorcycle.
You were still fumbling blindly with the helmet's buckle when Sukuna suddenly reached out. His large hands caught the sides of your head, pulling you gently but firmly toward him. Your breath hitched, your throat going completely dry as he leaned in. With practiced ease, his fingers worked the clasp beneath your chin. When the strap clicked securely into place, he pulled his hands back, leaving a lingering warmth on your skin.
You blurted out your address, your hand automatically reaching for his broad shoulder to steady yourself as you climbed onto the back of the bike. The fabric of your dress pulled tight, making you feel entirely exposed. "Can you... can you drive slowly? So my dress doesn't fly up?"
"Yeah."
Wrapping your arms carefully around his waist, you held onto him for dear life. Sukuna kicked the bike into gear, the sudden, powerful roar of the engine vibrating straight through your chest and causing you to grip him even tighter.
Beneath your touch, Sukuna’s entire body tensed up. He could swear on his life that he hadn't felt this profoundly nervous since he had proposed to you eight years ago a day that had left him sweating through his clothes, terrified of a rejection.
But right now, with your arms securely locked around his midsection and your chest pressed against his back, a desperate, pathetic longing washed over him. He wanted to just close his eyes and exist in this exact moment forever. Having you this close was intoxicating, and it frightened him. he knew he was dangerously close to losing his grip on reality.
He wanted to keep you right here. He knew it was pathetic physically and mentally exhausting to be this hung up on an ex-wife but no other woman on Earth could make his chest ache the way you did. He would gladly wear the title of a whipped, broken man for the rest of his life rather than settle for anyone else.
It had been a year since he started therapy. Uraume had practically forced him into it, and he had gone just to stop the nagging. But this the suffocating weight of how much he still wanted you was something he hadn't even dared to share with his therapist. He was terrified of the judgment, especially since the entire point of the sessions was to help him move on.
Moving on was a lie. He knew he never would.
Sukuna cleared his throat, the sound deep and resonant against the wind. You tilted your head up slightly, the oversized helmet shifting awkwardly on your skull.
"You didn't eat anything at that fucking party" he called out over his shoulder. "I can stop by a cafe. We can catch up... respectfully."
His voice had a distinct, unfamiliar tremor to it. Having known him for most of your life, you could recognize his hidden anxiety in an instant.
You wanted to decline. Every logical part of your brain told you to say no. But the words wouldn't come. You used the excuse that you were genuinely starving, and besides, the two of you hadn't technically ended things on a hateful note. If anyone had been toxic during the split, it was you throwing tantrums, demanding a divorce out of overwhelming grief. He could have fought you on it, could have declined to sign the papers, but he hadn't. You still bitterly regretted how you had handled the end of your marriage, even if your stubborn ego refused to let you say it.
"Okay" you murmured softly, surprised he could even hear you over the rush of the wind.
You tentatively peeled one hand away from his waist, trying to smooth down the hem of your dress as it whipped wildly in the breeze.
Almost instantly, the motorcycle began to slow down, A strange, fluttering sensation bloomed in your stomach. You hadn’t even had to ask. he just knew exactly what you needed without a single word being spoken.
The rest of the ride passed in a comfortable, familiar silence, punctuated only by Sukuna’s occasional annoyed grunts at passing traffic or sharp curses muttered under his breath when a car cut him off.
Before long, he pulled up to the curb in front of a small, cozy-looking cafe. It was located in a neighborhood you recognized all too well. Currently, you were staying in a rented apartment, but you were supposed to move into a new house next week one you had bought entirely on your own. It was painfully close to the house Sukuna had originally bought for the two of you. When the divorce was finalized, he had offered you a massive alimony settlement, but you had proudly turned it down.
Sliding off the seat, you carefully unbuckled the helmet and handed it back to him. Sukuna took it, killing the engine and pulling the key from the ignition. You walked toward the entrance side by side, the silence between you thick and heavy with unsaid words, but neither of you dared to break it.
Stepping inside, you scanned the room for a quiet corner. Spotting an empty booth near the back, you walked toward it with Sukuna trailing silently in your wake. When you reached the table, he stepped forward, his large hand gripping the back of the chair to pull it out for you. You offered him a small, grateful nod as you sat.
As he took the seat opposite you, his massive frame seemed to shrink the entire booth, making the space feel so much small and intimate. He set his expensive helmet on the floor a piece of gear that probably cost more than the cafe's entire monthly lease.
You looked around the room, your eyes tracing the decor, and Sukuna did the same. For a moment, a wave of mutual regret washed over you both. this felt entirely too weird, too forced. But it didn't have to be.
"So... you still working around here?" Sukuna finally asked, breaking the ice.
You let out a soft, breathy hum. "Yeah. It's a bit of a drive from my current place, but I’m transferring to a different hospital next week."
He nodded slowly, staring at you with an intensity that made it clear he genuinely cared about the mundane details of your life. A young waitress approached the table, a bright, youthful smile plastered on her face as she handed over two menus before stepping back. You opened yours, your eyes scanning the rows of food as your stomach growled.
When you glanced up, Sukuna abruptly snapped his gaze away, caught red handed staring at you.
"Are you still working as much as before?" you asked gently, wanting to share the burden of the conversation.
"Of course I am."
"How is life? How is everyone?" You rested your chin in your palm, looking at him fully. "I haven't seen Uraume in forever... and what about Yuji? Does he still come by to visit you?"
A ghost of a smile touched Sukuna’s lips. God, he had missed this. Your eyes, your lips, the entire cadence of your voice. He found himself wishing his eyes could take a physical photograph of you right now, just so he could freeze this frame and keep it in his pocket forever.
"the brat lives with me permanently now" he said, his voice dropping into a calm, steady register. "I adopted him. And Uraume is doing fine."
Your eyes drifted down to his arms, tracing the dark, intricate lines of his tattoos. They were the exact same markings your fingers used to trace late at night when the two of you were tangled in bedsheets. A quiet sigh escaped you, and you looked away, a stray thought crossing your mind: Does he still have my name tattooed on his skin, or did he have it removed?
'He definitely removed it' you told yourself bitterly.
Realizing you had zoned out, you quickly cleared your expression and focused back on his words. "You adopted Yuji? Why?"
"His grandparents were getting too old" Sukuna explained softly, his expression hardening slightly. "The old people could barely feed themselves, let alone a growing kid. And frankly, I don’t trust them. They’re Kaori’s parents, after all."
Kaori. Yuji’s mother. The woman who had abandoned her own child to run away with another man right after her husband passed away. You had always despised her for that. Back when you and Sukuna were married, Yuji hadn't been able to visit often because he lived far away in the countryside, but Sukuna had always made it a point to bring him over whenever school holidays rolled around.
The waitress returned to the table, pen poised over her notepad. You hadn't even looked at the menu properly yet, but Sukuna didn't need to look at all.
"A hot tea, a bowl of chocolate ice cream, and a black coffee" he ordered smoothly, his eyes never leaving yours.
The waitress scribbled it down, flashing Sukuna a lingering, flirtatious smile he was an undeniably attractive man, after all, before taking the menus and walking away.
But you barely noticed her. Your chest ached with a sudden, sharp pain. The fact that he still remembered your exact comfort order, without even having to think about it, cut deeper than any insult could have
.
Clearing your throat to mask the emotion, you said "I’d really love to see Yuji sometime."
Instantly, a spark of genuine warmth lit up Sukuna's dark eyes. "Yeah? I can arrange that. He'd like it." He leaned back, a familiar, teasing smirk playing on his lips, though it couldn't quite hide the desperate curiosity eating him alive. "What about you? You... dating anyone? Got a boyfriend?"
You offered a small, bittersweet smile. "Mhm. I'm actually living with Bruce right now."
The smirk vanished. Sukuna’s entire posture locked up, his shoulders turning to stone. "Bruce? Like...the Batman? You're dating Batman or something?" He tried to chuckle, but it sounded forced, choked by a sudden surge of jealousy.
You let out a soft sigh. "It's my cat's name, Sukuna. Mr. Bruce."
The relief that washed over his face was almost comical. He let out a breathy laugh, shaking his head. "A cat? Huh. You always wanted one."
His voice trailed off, dipping into a profound sadness. The memory hung heavily between the promise he had made years ago, back when you both were still trying to get pregnant. He had told you that if you couldn't get pregnant, he would buy you the biggest house and fill it with cats just to see you smile. But then, by some miracle, you had gotten pregnant. And then, tragically, you lost the only piece of the future that gave you both hope.
Seeing that you had finally gotten a cat made him wonder if you had given up on that future entirely. Were you still the same girl he had fallen in love with? The girl who used to kiss his cheek every single night and whisper that he was her entire world?
When the waitress returned to place the coffee, tea, and ice cream between you, Sukuna was profoundly grateful for the interruption. He wasn't sure he was strong enough to hear the answers to the questions running through his mind. You were a mystery to him now.you always had been, his favorite mystery to unravel but the distance between you felt vast. He kept his eyes glued to his black coffee, tracing the rim of the cup.
"Thank you, Ryomen" you said quietly. "For what you did at the party. Though... maybe the violence could have been avoided."
He let out a sharp, mocking scoff. "That old fucking hag deserves worse, Y/n. Stop being so fucking nice to people who walk all over you. She’s been a miserable bitch since you and Shoko were both in med school. Shoko never had the spine to say anything to her face while she was running her mouth about you."
You didn't argue. You just let him scold you, a strange comfort wrapping around you because he was right. He always had been.
Picking up your spoon, you began to eat your ice cream in silence. Sukuna blew on his coffee, taking a slow sip.
The rest of the conversation was fragmented and dry. The initial burst of familiarity faded back into a stifling, awkward quiet. Neither of you really knew how to bridge the gap anymore. It was painful, but maybe it was safer this way. being this close to him, seeing the ghost of the protective man he used to be, was tearing your heart to pieces.
When the bill arrived, you reached for your purse, but Sukuna leveled you with a sharp, warning glare. He pushed your hand away, slapped his card onto the ledger, and paid before you could argue.
Once outside, you slid his helmet back over your head and climbed onto the bike for the short ride to your apartment building. As the wind whipped past, you closed your eyes, memories of the day you met him and the happiest years of your life flashing behind your eyelids. He was a harsh, cruel man to the rest of the world, but with you, he had always been soft.
The bike slowed to a smooth stop. "We're here," Sukuna called out, his deep voice vibrating through his chest.
The sound pulled you sharply from your thoughts. You unwrapped your arms from his waist and stepped off the bike. Pulling the helmet off, you handed it back to him, forcing a tight, awkward smile. It broke your heart to realize how naturally your genuine smiles had turned into polite, guarded formalities.
"Alright then. Thank you" you sighed, turning on your heel toward the entrance of your building.
"Y/n."
His voice stopped you dead in your tracks. You turned back around, waiting for him to speak. He stared at you, his chest rising and falling heavily as he struggled with the words.
"You... you were the best mother our daughter could have ever asked for" he said, his voice thick and rough with an emotion he rarely showed. "And you're going to be a great mother to your future kids. Remember... it was never your fault. Our angel deserved to live. The fucking bastard who caused the accident is rotting in a cell right now, getting his karma. But even that's too good for that mf"
The words hit you like a wave, and your vision blurred instantly. "Th...thank you, Sukuna" you choked out, fighting with every ounce of your being to keep from sobbing.
"Take care of yourself." he grunted, pulling his own helmet down over his face.
You stood on the pavement, watching the taillight of his motorcycle disappear into the city traffic, the tears finally tracking freely down your face.
Sukuna rode faster than he ever had before. Lately, speed didn't frighten him. He didn't really care about the risks of dying anymore. He had already lost the only two things he had ever truly lived for his wife and his baby girl.
Living had become nothing more than a daily chore, a checklist of survival, and seeing you tonight had just made the burden infinitely heavier.
Pulling over to the side of the road, he ripped his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number he had memorized over the past year. It rang twice before a calm, professional voice answered.
"Hello? Sukuna?"
"I'm coming over," he growled, hanging up before she could reply. He threw the bike into gear and tore off in the opposite direction.
Ten minutes later, Sukuna was sunk deep into a large leather couch the kind of furniture designed to make a man relax, though it did the exact opposite for him. He glared at the ugly house plants scattered around the room and the massive, suffocating bookshelves packed with psychology texts behind the desk.
He locked his eyes onto the woman sitting across from him. Samantha, his therapist, was in her mid-forties, wearing the oversized glasses he absolutely despised and a rigid bob cut he constantly judged. He hated the way she looked at him, hated the heavy silence she used to force him to speak.
"I saw her today" Sukuna finally muttered.
Samantha placed her chin in her hand, nodding slowly, giving him the space to continue. "How did it feel?"
Sukuna exhaled a long, ragged sigh, looking away. "It felt fine. Normal. I just saw her... that’s it. Nothing changed" he lied, trying to maintain his usual mask of indifference.
Samantha hummed, her eyes narrowing slightly behind her lenses. "So you're telling me her presence had no effect on you? Is that right?"
Sukuna stared up at the ceiling for a long moment before looking down at his large, tattooed hands. "We both know that's a big fucking lie. It affected me."
Samantha offered a sympathetic, knowing look. She was entirely used to his behavior by now. one week he would walk into her office declaring he was fully cured and ready to find a new woman, and the next week he would admit he couldn't even stand the thought of another person touching him. Sukuna was, without a doubt, the most complex patient she had ever taken on.
"Did the two of you talk?" she asked, wanting to unpack the trigger that had caused him to demand an emergency late-night session.
"Barely," Sukuna growled, the anger flaring back up in his chest. "I punched Shoko's so called mother because that bitch was talking shit about my daughter. She made Y/n cry. I can't stand seeing her cry."
"And did punching her solve the problem?"
"You bet your ass it did" he snapped. "And if she ever opens her mouth around Y/n again, I’ll make sure she meets God early."
"So you still rely on violence as your primary solution."
Sukuna let out a dark, mocking chuckle. "I don't give a shit. I don't know... when I saw her, it felt like my entire chest stopped working. She hasn't changed a bit since the divorce. If anything, she just got more beautiful. I can’t move on, Samantha. And she... she’s probably already over it. Also... She told me she has a cat now"
He took a deep, shaky breath, the vulnerability heavy in the air.
"I would say that's a fair amount of conversation for two divorced people" Samantha observed quietly.
"It wasn't enough for me."
"Did she notice the ring?"
Sukuna’s hand automatically flew to his collar, his fingers reaching beneath his shirt to pull out a heavy silver chain. Hanging from the links was his thick wedding band, the inside band still sharply engraved with their wedding date and their initials joined together.
"No" he muttered, his voice dropping an octave. "She didn't see it."
"If she does eventually move on with someone else... will you become violent?"
Sukuna went entirely still, the question hanging like a heavy weight in the quiet office. He let out a long, exhausted sigh, all the venom leaving his posture. "If I were going to be violent with her, I never would have signed those damn fucking papers in the first place, would I? I knew what she needed back then. She was losing her goddamn mind with grief, and divorcing me was the only thing she felt she could control. I let her go so she could survive. If she finds someone else... all I can do is hope the bastard treats her like royalty. Because if he doesn't, I will personally kill him."
Samantha adjusted her glasses, studying him closely. "Is this love, Sukuna? Or is it an obsession?"
"I don't fucking know" he whispered, looking at her with a raw, agonizing glare. "If it were an obsession, I would have stalked her. I would have forced her to stay. I would have tracked down her new apartment, her new job, forced myself into her life. I never did any of that. All I’ve ever wanted...is for her to be happy. Even if it means she has to be happy without me."

meeting your teenage son's girlfriend for the first time
Oneshot
The memory of the day you found out about Yuji still carried the terrifying scent of cheap convenience store pregnancy tests and overwhelming panic.
You were twenty years old. You were a college student, surviving on a scholarship, and desperately trying to keep your head above water to secure a place in med school. Sukuna was twenty, too a massive, volatile presence with no parents, and an attitude that usually kept the rest of the world at a distance. When the two pink lines appeared, the floor had felt like it was tilting beneath your feet. Your parents were traditional, uncompromising people. you knew the exact moment the words left your mouth, your relationship with them would burn to ash.
And it did.
You had sat on the edge of his bed, your fingers trembling so hard the plastic stick rattled against your knuckles. When you told him, your voice had been small, hollowed out by fear. "I'm going to get rid of it. I have to. My career, my parents... Ryo, we can't." Even though part of you wanted the kid so badly but you were scared.
Sukuna hadn't yelled. He hadn't panicked. he looked nervous
Instead, he had simply sat there on the mattress across from you, staring at you in a heavy silence that lasted for ten agonizing minutes. The clock on the wall had ticked with a deafening regularity while his dark red eyes tracked the line of your jaw, down to your throat, before finally settling on the flat expanse of your stomach.
Then, he had moved. His massive frame shifted, bridging the gap between you until he was kneeling on the floor between your knees. He didn't say a word as he lifted his large, rough hands already scarred from the street fights, pressed them completely flat against your lower abdomen. The heat of his palms had radiated through the thin cotton of your shirt.
He had looked up, his gaze locking onto yours with a terrifying, absolute gravity. "Do you want it?" he had asked, his voice lower and rougher than usual. "Because if you do... I can take care of you and my brat."
You had said yes. It was a stupid, reckless decision made by two kids who had nothing but each other, but you had never regretted it. Not even when your parents screamed, called you a disgrace, and threw you out of the house into the rain. Not even when they cut off the half of the med school tuition they had promised to pay, leaving you with nothing but your partial scholarship and a fierce, stubborn pride. You weren't the type to drop out. You weren't the type to give up.
But the reality of a changing body and a growing child had a way of grinding down even the biggest ego and pride you had in you
A few months into the pregnancy, you were sitting on the worn leather couch of Sukuna's home. The house he got from inheritance, which was the only thing good because you didn't had to pay so much bills
Your head was pressed against Sukuna’s bare chest, your ear aligned perfectly with the steady, heavy thud of his heart a sound that always made you feel like the world couldn't touch you. Your arm was wrapped tightly around his thick waist, while his heavy arm was draped over your shoulder, his large thumb absentmindedly rubbing your skin in slow, rhythmic circles while a movie played unnoticed on the television screen.
"I think I should drop out too" you murmured softly, your eyes fixed on the flickering light of the TV, refusing to look up at him. "Just for a few years. I can help you with a job. We need money for the baby stuff, Ryo. The medical books alone are—"
Sukuna’s hand dropped from your shoulder, his massive palm sliding down to wrap around your stomach, gently squeezing the rounded slope. It had become a constant, protective habit of his. in the first weeks, he had been too terrified to even touch you there, as if his strength might break something so fragile, but now his hand lived there.
"No." he grunted, his rough voice vibrating through his chest wall against your cheek. "You just Focus on your studies."
"Ryo, even with the scholarship, the laboratory fees and the equipment cost money" you argued, shifting your weight to turn your head and look up at him. The dim light of the living room caught the sharp lines of his face, his pink hair messy against his forehead. "It’s better if I just take a break. Once the baby reaches a certain age, I can always go back."
Sukuna’s red eyes drifted down from the screen, locking onto yours with an intensity that always made your chest tighten. A slow, faint smirk pulled at the corner of his lips.
"It’s now or never." he said, his large hand moving to your cheek, his thick fingers playfully pinching the skin until you let out a small laugh. "I found a job. A real one. The firm pays well for structural steelwork, and the hours mean I’m home at night. I’ll pay the fees for your med schoo and enough to take care for the kid, You just focus on studying and keeping yourself healthy."
"Ryo... don't burn yourself out for us" you whispered, reaching up to touch his wrist. His presence had always been your peaceful. he was a storm to everyone else, but to you, he was a your calm place, a home.
He let out a low grunt, his arm suddenly shifting behind your back. With a single, effortless pull, he hauled you up onto his lap, his massive body hovering over yours as he pressed you back against the sofa cushions. You felt the sudden, hot flush creep up your neck as his lips found the sensitive skin beneath your jaw, pressing a sequence of heavy, deliberate kisses there.
"Ryo..." you breathed, your fingers curling into his pink hair.
"Shh... let me kiss my girl" he muttered against your skin, his lips moving up to pepper your cheeks, your eyelids, and the tip of your nose until you were smiling thoroughly. He buried his nose into the crook of your neck, inhaling the sweet, familiar scent of your skin like a man finding water in a desert.
"You left your whole family behind just to stay with me and my brat" his voice came out firm, thick with a rare, raw devotion that brought a sudden sting of tears to your eyes. "Burning myself out to take care of you and our kid isn't much. It’s exactly what I’m supposed to do."
_____
Seventeen years later, the house still smelled of him cedarwood, faint tobacco, and the clean, sharp scent of your laundry detergent.
You were buried deep beneath the heavy duvet, your naked body completely tangled with Sukuna’s. His massive, tattooed arm was locked around your waist, lifting your back flush against his chest, while his face was buried directly between your shoulder blades. He was snoring softly a low, somehow you had gotten used to his snores and maybe those notes always make you fall asleep quickly.
But this morning, sleep was an impossible
From the kitchen downstairs came a succession of sharp, chaotic noises the loud, metallic clank of a skillet hitting the burner, the scraping of a stool across the tile, and finally, the deafening crash of a stainless-steel mixing bowl hitting the floor.
The sound was loud enough to make you stir, but you were thoroughly surprised when the heavy weight behind you shifted with an annoyed groan. Sukuna could usually sleep through a earthquake, but the specific, irritating rhythm of the racket downstairs had broken through his sleep
He let out a long, miserable sigh, his face shifting from your shoulder blades to bury itself directly into the soft curve of your breasts, his breath hot against your bare skin. "What the fuck is that kid doing downstairs?" he muttered, his voice thick and raspy with sleep.
You let out a soft hum, your fingers automatically finding their way into your husband’s short pink hair, gently scratching his scalp the way he loved. "I don't know, Ryo. I’m just surprised he’s even awake this early on a Saturday."
Sukuna nuzzled closer, his large hand shifting on your hip to pull you impossibly tight against his frame, but another loud clatter-bang from the kitchen made him stiffen. He let out an aggravated grunt against your skin. "Just fucking perfect. Even on my one day off, I can't even sleep peacefully with my wife."
You let out a soft chuckle, your fingers tracing down the back of his neck, your eyes admiring the dark, intricate tattoos that adorned his broad shoulders and back. Even after nearly two decades, the sight of him still made your heart skip.
He sighed, his muscles relaxing slightly under your touch. "Let’s go on a date today" he murmured, his eyes still closed. "We’ll send the brat out to the movies or something, have some quiet sex, and then take a long bath together. Just us."
You smiled into the dim room. "Sure, Ryo. That sounds just perfecto" you teased
"Nah, don't just say it. Give me a kiss first" he grumbled, finally pulling his face away from your chest to lean over you, his sharp features shadowed by the morning light.
You tried to turn your head away, laughing as you pushed at his broad chest. "No! Ryo, stop, morning breath! Ugh, eww, get away from me!"
You closed your eyes, but it was already too late. Sukuna let out a low rumble of laughter, his large hands easily pinning your wrists above your head against the pillow. He dropped his mouth onto yours, his kiss deep, heavy, and thorough, taking your breath away until you were melting against the mattress, your fingers twisting into his hair as you kissed him back.
His lips traveled down your jawline, leaving a trail of wet, deliberate kisses along your throat before his mouth found your bare breast. He swirled his tongue gently against the sensitive peak, making you squirm and let out a soft, high whine against his lips.
"MOM! DAD! ARE YOU AWAKE?!"
The shout from the hallway made you bolt upright. In a panic, you hauled the heavy duvet all the way up to your chin, covering both yourself and Sukuna. Sukuna, entirely unbothered, merely let out a furious sigh, dropping his heavy head back onto your breast with a groan, his arms locking around your thighs to keep you pinned beneath him.
The bedroom door burst open. Standing in the threshold was your fifteenyear old son, Yuji.
he was fully dressed in a crisp blue button down shirt and clean black jeans a wardrobe choice that was highly unnatural for him at seven in the morning. His bright pink hair, a carbon copy of his father’s, was actually brushed. When you had been pregnant, Sukuna had grumbled for months about wanting a daughter, convinced a boy would be a nuisance, yet Yuji had arrived looking like his absolute twin. The only difference was the soul; where Sukuna was a storm angry, jerk not with you but still. Yuji was a sweet, sunny, remarkably gentle kid who lacked a single ounce of his father’s malice.
"Knock on the fucking door, brat!" Sukuna barked, finally sitting up and aggressively tossing the blanket over your shoulders to ensure you were covered. He glared at his son with dark, murderous red eyes.
You leaned back against the headboard, smoothing your hair down as you stared at your son, waiting for an explanation.
Yuji’s face flushed a bright, violent crimson as his eyes darted from his father’s bare, tattooed chest to the tangled sheets. "Dad! Okay, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! But look... I invited my girlfriend over this morning for breakfast." He rubbed the back of his neck, his cheeks burning hotter. "I know it's stupid, but she’s busy all day with her family later, so this was the only time. Can you please help me make something tasty? Please?"
For a second, the room was dead silent. Then, your husband burst into a full blown, mocking laugh.
"You? A girlfriend?" Sukuna scoffed, leaning back against the pillows. "I'm surprised you could even pull a girl, brat. But then again, you have my face, so I suppose I can understand how it happened." Under the safety of the heavy blanket, his large hand found yours, giving it a playful, reassuring squeeze that made you chuckle.
"Stop teasing my son, Ryo" you said, giving Sukuna a warning look before turning your attention back to Yuji. "So all that noise downstairs was you trying to cook?"
Yuji nodded frantically, his eyes wide with appeal. "Yeah! She really loves pancakes, and that’s all she wanted, so... I tried. But I burned the first three, and the batter is lumpy, and the kitchen is a mess. Mom, please help me. Dad isn't going to do anything but sit there and judge."
You smiled, the sweet sight of your son being so completely unraveled by a girl melting your heart. You reached out, playfully slapping the back of Sukuna’s head. He let out a low grunt but didn't move.
"Alright, Yuji" you said gently. "Go downstairs and start clearing all burned pans. Your dad and I will be down in a few minutes."
"No, fuck off" Sukuna grumbled, rolling his shoulders as he glared at his son. "I ain't getting out of bed early just to meet some middle school brat's girlfriend. You're not going anywhere either, woman. I wanted to sleep."
Yuji immediately turned his gaze to you, his large, brown eyes wide with the exact puppy dog expression he had used since he was a toddler. You turned your head, giving Sukuna a sharp, icy glare
Sukuna cleared his throat, his posture instantly shifting. "Alright, alright. We’ll be downstairs in five minutes. Go clean up the mess before your mother sees it" he muttered quickly.
The moment the bedroom door clicked shut behind Yuji, Sukuna didn't lose a second. He lunged across the mattress, hauling you directly onto his lap. His hands gripped your waist, pulling your bare skin flush against his thighs as his mouth crashed onto yours in a deep, bruising kisses. You let out a small whine, your hands wrapping around his neck as you felt the heavy, rigid length of his manhood already pressing hard against your hip.
"A quick one" he whispered roughly against your throat, his breath coming in hot, uneven gasps as his teeth gently nipped at your collarbone. "I swear, baby. Just five minutes."
You laughed softly, your fingers tangling in his pink hair as you pulled him back up for another kiss. "You're pathetic, Ryo."
He lets out soft grunt "only for my wife."
___
When the two of you finally walked into the kitchen twenty minutes later no make it thirty. you had thrown on a simple white cotton nightie decorated with a black lace that fell just above your knees. Sukuna hadn't bothered with a shirt. he had simply pulled on a pair of grey sweatpants that hung low on his hips, his bare chest and tattoos on full display.
Yuji had indeed cleared the counter. He was currently leaning against the refrigerator, scrolling through his phone, but he quickly shoved it into his pocket the moment he saw the two of you step onto the tile. His eyes narrowed slightly as he took in his father’s thoroughly relaxed, smug expression.
"A 'few minutes' took way too long" Yuji said, giving both of you a massive side eye. "And for the record...I heard those noises."
Sukuna didn't even blink. As he walked past his son toward the coffee maker, he reached out and delivered a swift, playful punch to Yuji’s stomach hard enough to make the boy huff but light enough to be a joke. "Be grateful for those noises, brat. If it wasn't for them, your annoying face wouldn't even be standing in my kitchen."
Yuji scoffed, turning away to hide his red ears, and moved toward the island where you were already gathering a fresh bowl and flour. He reached over, pressing a sweet, apologetic kiss to your cheek. "Thank you, Mom" he whispered, immediately grabbing the milk and eggs to help you rewrite his culinary disaster.
You left soft smile.
While you measured out the ingredients for a proper, fluffy pancake batter, Sukuna stood by the far counter. He had already turned on the stove to boil water for your tea and pour a dark, bitter black coffee for himself.
"Just pour it gently into the center of the pan, Yuji" you instructed softly, guiding his hand as he held the ladle over the sizzling butter. "Once you see the little bubbles forming on the surface, that’s your cue to flip it. Don't rush it."
Yuji nodded with intense concentration, his entire focus dedicated to the circle of dough. Seeing that he had it under control, you left the bowl with him and walked over to where your husband was leaning against the marble counter, a freshly lit cigarette held between his lips as he stared out the window into the morning fog.
You reached out to grab your tea mug, but before your fingers could touch the cup, Sukuna’s large arm snaked around your waist. He hauled your back flush against his bare chest, his strong arms wrapping around you securely from behind, his chin resting comfortably on the top of your head. He handed you the hot mug with his free hand, his palm settling flat against your stomach, warm and steady.
"So" Sukuna murmured, puffing a stream of grey smoke "Who’s the girl?"
Yuji glanced over his shoulder, taking in the sight of his parents practically glued together. He gave another bombastic side eye, but there was a faint, fond smile on his face. he had been raised in a house where his parents were disgustingly, thoroughly in love, and he was completely used to it.
"She's a classmate" Yuji said, carefully flipping his second pancake with a proud grin. "Her name is Ozawa. She's really nice, She’s quiet, but she’s really smart. Sometimes she stays back after hours to teach me math when I’m failing."
Your eyes instantly brightened with excitement. "Oh, that’s wonderful, I am glad you meet someone like her!"
Sukuna let out a low sigh, the smoke curling around his sharp nose. "Just treat her right, brat. Don't do anything stupid. I'm still surprised that you could pull a girl like that" he muttered, though there was a faint, rare trace of fatherly pride in his rough tone.
You let out a soft chuckle, leaning back against his chest as you delivered a sharp elbow to his ribs. "Ryo! Be nice."
"Woman, stop abusing your man" Sukuna grunted, though his arm only tightened around your waist, his lips pressing a brief kiss into your messy bun.
____
An hour later, the kitchen table was entirely transformed. You and Yuji had compiled a massive stack of golden, perfect pancakes, alongside a savory platter of thick-cut bacon, soft scrambled eggs, and toasted sourdough mostly because Sukuna hates sweets for breakfast and needs real food. Sukuna had finally gone upstairs to take a quick shower and throw on a black t-shirt, while you quickly twisted your hair into more proper messy bun
Lately, the smell of food had been doing strange things to your equilibrium. As you set the last platter down, a sudden, violent wave of nausea washed over you, making your stomach churn. You swallowed hard, pressing a hand to your chest until the dizziness passed. You had felt off for the past week the mere sight of the maple syrup made your throat tighten, but you pushed it down. It was Yuji’s big morning. you weren't going to ruin it.
The sharp chime of the doorbell cut through the house.
Yuji instantly went rigid, his spatula nearly dropping from his hand. He looked incredibly nervous, his eyes darting to you for reassurance. You offered him a warm, encouraging smile, walking beside him as he hurried to the front entryway.
When he swung the heavy wooden door open, your eyes softened. Standing on the porch was a lovely, simple girl with short, neat blonde hair, large brown eyes, and slightly chubby cheeks that gave her a thoroughly sweet, innocent appearance. She was wearing a modest denim skirt and a cream sweater, her fingers clutching a small paper gift bag and a glass bottle.
"Hello, Mrs. Sukuna" she said, her voice small and polite as a bright, nervous blush covered her cheeks. "I am Ozawa. Thank you so much for having me."
Yuji stepped forward, offering her an awkward, stiff one armed hug that made you hide a giggle behind your hand. "Hey, Ozawa. Come on in."
"Good morning, Ozawa," you said warmly, stepping into the light with a bright smile. "It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. Come inside, the food is hot."
The girl’s eyes widened slightly as she looked at you, her blush deepening. "Oh... please take this, Mrs. Sukuna. It’s some traditional sweets from my hometown and a bottle of homemade apple juice my mother pressed yesterday." She held the bag out eagerly.
"Oh, sweetheart, you didn't have to bring anything" you said gently, reaching out to decline, but she pressed it into your hands with a shy smile.
"Please! You are so beautiful, Mrs. Sukuna" Ozawa blurted out, her eyes shining with genuine admiration. "Yuji always talks about how amazing his mom is, but you look so young!"
You let out a genuine, delighted laugh, the sweet compliment instantly winning you over. "You are too sweet darling And please, just call me Y/m."
As you led her into the dining room, you found your husband already seated. He had a fresh cigarette between his fingers, his eyes tracking the steam rising from the bacon. He looked thoroughly hungry and slightly bored, but the moment he heard your footsteps, his dark red eyes snapped up.
Seeing Yuji’s girlfriend enter, Sukuna lazily stood up from his chair, his massive, imposing height instantly making the room feel smaller.
"Good morning, Mr. Sukuna" Ozawa said, bowing her head politely, though she looked a bit intimidated by the sheer size and sharp tattoos of the man before her. "Thank you for inviting me to your home."
Sukuna gave a slow, single nod, stubbing his cigarette out in the glass ashtray with a practiced motion. "Morning, Ozawa. You're welcome in the house" he said, a faint, amused smirk playing on his sharp features as he glanced at his son. "If the brat ever does anything stupid or gives you any trouble, you just tell me. I’ll punch his pretty face for you."
A collective round of laughter broke the lingering tension. Yuji groaned, groveling into his seat. "Dad, please."
Breakfast turned out to be an incredibly easy, pleasant affair. Ozawa was delightfully grounded. she didn't try too hard to impress you or put on an act, simply remaining her polite, sweet self. She shared stories about her family’s farm, talked about her school projects, and explained how she managed to drag Yuji’s grades up in algebra.
Sukuna remained uncharacteristically quiet, mostly focusing on tearing through his plate of eggs and bacon with a savage appetite, but he occasionally dropped a few short, blunt questions. "Where does your father work?" "What are your plans for university?" It was his version of a thorough background check, and when Ozawa answered him directly without stuttering, a faint look of approval settled into his red eyes. He liked people who didn't shrink away from him.
By the time the plates were cleared, Yuji and Ozawa stood up to leave. he had promised to walk her down to the train station before her family event. You package a small box of fresh cupcakes you had baked the previous afternoon, handing them to the girl with a warm hug. Truthfully, you couldn't even stand to look at the sugar without your stomach turning, and Sukuna wouldn't touch them anyway.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Suk-Y/n" Ozawa said, her smile wide and bright as Yuji led her out the front door.
The front door clicked shut, leaving the house in a sudden, heavy morning quiet.
You walked back into the kitchen, the lingering scent of syrup and grease making your throat tighten again. Your stomach let out a hollow, painful growl, but the thought of solid food made you dizzy. Needing something cold and light to coat your throat, you grabbed a couple of bananas from the basket, threw them into the blender with some milk and honey, and turned the machine on.
As the blender whirred, two large, warm arms wrapped around your waist from behind.
Sukuna pulled your back flush against his chest, his large hands anchoring tightly over your hips, holding you steady against his frame. He didn't say anything at first, simply burying his face into the side of your neck, his rough stubble scratching your skin as he inhaled deeply.
"Everything alright?" his deep voice rumbled against your skin, unusually soft. "You haven't eaten a single thing normal for the past three days"
Your fingers tensed against the handle of the blender. You should have known. Sukuna was a man who noticed every single shift in your breathing, every single change in your posture. you could hide things from the rest of the world, but you were entirely transparent to him.
"I'm fine, Ryo" you murmured, turning off the blender and pouring the thick, yellow smoothie into a glass. "Just a minor stomach bug, I think. a little ache."
"Y/n" Sukuna said, his tone dropping into that firm tone that made you tense up, His hands shifted from your hips, his thumbs pressing firmly into the skin through the white nightie as he slowly turned you around within his embrace until you were forced to look up at him.
His dark red eyes searched your face, taking in the slight paleness of your cheeks and the faint shadows beneath your eyes. "You've been throwing up every single morning before the sun is even up. You look at the food I cook like it’ poison"
He leaned in closer, his chest pressing against yours. "So? Are you trying to surprise me by keeping a secret, or are you just being stubborn? Because it's completely obvious to anyone with eyes."
You stared up at him, your breath hitching as your fingers gripped the edge of the marble counter behind you. You let out a long, trembling sigh, the weight of the realization finally breaking through your own denial.
"I... I don't know, Ryo" you whispered, your eyes drifting down to his chest. "Getting pregnant at thirty-six... it sounds crazy. Yuji is fifteen. We have a teenager. It feels so weird."
A sudden, massive grin broke across Sukuna’s face a wide, sharp expression that instantly erased the years from his features, making him look exactly like the twenty year old kid who had pressed his hands against your stomach in a cramped bedroom.
"We’ve been trying to give the brat a sibling for seven years, so stop sulking" he rumbled, his large hand instantly dropping down to press flat against your stomach, his fingers spreading wide across your nightie. The familiar heat of his palm sent a wave of absolute security through your veins. "And don't give me that thirty six bullshit. You don't look a single day older than twenty, ma."
He leaned down, pressing his forehead firmly against yours, his red eyes burning with a deep, victorious joy.
"Ryo..." you breathed, your arms finally rising to wrap securely around his neck, burying your face into his shoulder. "I love you so much."
"I love you more, ma" he whispered against your ear, his arms locking around your waist as he lifted you effortlessly off the kitchen floor, holding you tight against his heart. "Let's see what the brat says when he finds out he's got to share his room."
"we have three empty rooms" you says with soft smile
"doesn't matter."
Mhm yeah (this was Sukuna with his own son)
This fic has my whole heart ngl, I hope it doesn't flop

He let out a low grunt, his arm suddenly shifting behind your back. With a single, effortless pull, he hauled you up onto his lap, his massive body hovering over yours as he pressed you back against the sofa cushions. You felt the sudden, hot flush creep up your neck as his lips found the sensitive skin beneath your jaw, pressing a sequence of heavy, deliberate kisses there.
"Ryo..." you breathed, your fingers curling into his pink hair.
"Shh... let me kiss my girl" he muttered against your skin, his lips moving up to pepper your cheeks, your eyelids, and the tip of your nose until you were smiling thoroughly. He buried his nose into the crook of your neck, inhaling the sweet, familiar scent of your skin like a man finding water in a desert.
"You left your whole family behind just to stay with me and my brat" his voice came out firm, thick with a rare, raw devotion that brought a sudden sting of tears to your eyes. "Burning myself out to take care of you and our kid isn't much. It’s exactly what I’m supposed to do."
_____
Seventeen years later, the house still smelled of him cedarwood, faint tobacco, and the clean, sharp scent of your laundry detergent.
You were buried deep beneath the heavy duvet, your naked body completely tangled with Sukuna’s. His massive, tattooed arm was locked around your waist, lifting your back flush against his chest, while his face was buried directly between your shoulder blades. He was snoring softly a low, somehow you had gotten used to his snores and maybe those notes always make you fall asleep quickly.
But this morning, sleep was an impossible
From the kitchen downstairs came a succession of sharp, chaotic noises the loud, metallic clank of a skillet hitting the burner, the scraping of a stool across the tile, and finally, the deafening crash of a stainless-steel mixing bowl hitting the floor.
The sound was loud enough to make you stir, but you were thoroughly surprised when the heavy weight behind you shifted with an annoyed groan. Sukuna could usually sleep through a earthquake, but the specific, irritating rhythm of the racket downstairs had broken through his sleep
He let out a long, miserable sigh, his face shifting from your shoulder blades to bury itself directly into the soft curve of your breasts, his breath hot against your bare skin. "What the fuck is that kid doing downstairs?" he muttered, his voice thick and raspy with sleep.
You let out a soft hum, your fingers automatically finding their way into your husband’s short pink hair, gently scratching his scalp the way he loved. "I don't know, Ryo. I’m just surprised he’s even awake this early on a Saturday."
Sukuna nuzzled closer, his large hand shifting on your hip to pull you impossibly tight against his frame, but another loud clatter-bang from the kitchen made him stiffen. He let out an aggravated grunt against your skin. "Just fucking perfect. Even on my one day off, I can't even sleep peacefully with my wife."
You let out a soft chuckle, your fingers tracing down the back of his neck, your eyes admiring the dark, intricate tattoos that adorned his broad shoulders and back. Even after nearly two decades, the sight of him still made your heart skip.
He sighed, his muscles relaxing slightly under your touch. "Let’s go on a date today" he murmured, his eyes still closed. "We’ll send the brat out to the movies or something, have some quiet sex, and then take a long bath together. Just us."
You smiled into the dim room. "Sure, Ryo. That sounds just perfecto" you teased
"Nah, don't just say it. Give me a kiss first" he grumbled, finally pulling his face away from your chest to lean over you, his sharp features shadowed by the morning light.
You tried to turn your head away, laughing as you pushed at his broad chest. "No! Ryo, stop, morning breath! Ugh, eww, get away from me!"
You closed your eyes, but it was already too late. Sukuna let out a low rumble of laughter, his large hands easily pinning your wrists above your head against the pillow. He dropped his mouth onto yours, his kiss deep, heavy, and thorough, taking your breath away until you were melting against the mattress, your fingers twisting into his hair as you kissed him back.
His lips traveled down your jawline, leaving a trail of wet, deliberate kisses along your throat before his mouth found your bare breast. He swirled his tongue gently against the sensitive peak, making you squirm and let out a soft, high whine against his lips.
"MOM! DAD! ARE YOU AWAKE?!"
The shout from the hallway made you bolt upright. In a panic, you hauled the heavy duvet all the way up to your chin, covering both yourself and Sukuna. Sukuna, entirely unbothered, merely let out a furious sigh, dropping his heavy head back onto your breast with a groan, his arms locking around your thighs to keep you pinned beneath him.
The bedroom door burst open. Standing in the threshold was your fifteenyear old son, Yuji.
he was fully dressed in a crisp blue button down shirt and clean black jeans a wardrobe choice that was highly unnatural for him at seven in the morning. His bright pink hair, a carbon copy of his father’s, was actually brushed. When you had been pregnant, Sukuna had grumbled for months about wanting a daughter, convinced a boy would be a nuisance, yet Yuji had arrived looking like his absolute twin. The only difference was the soul; where Sukuna was a storm angry, jerk not with you but still. Yuji was a sweet, sunny, remarkably gentle kid who lacked a single ounce of his father’s malice.
"Knock on the fucking door, brat!" Sukuna barked, finally sitting up and aggressively tossing the blanket over your shoulders to ensure you were covered. He glared at his son with dark, murderous red eyes.
You leaned back against the headboard, smoothing your hair down as you stared at your son, waiting for an explanation.
Yuji’s face flushed a bright, violent crimson as his eyes darted from his father’s bare, tattooed chest to the tangled sheets. "Dad! Okay, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! But look... I invited my girlfriend over this morning for breakfast." He rubbed the back of his neck, his cheeks burning hotter. "I know it's stupid, but she’s busy all day with her family later, so this was the only time. Can you please help me make something tasty? Please?"
For a second, the room was dead silent. Then, your husband burst into a full blown, mocking laugh.
"You? A girlfriend?" Sukuna scoffed, leaning back against the pillows. "I'm surprised you could even pull a girl, brat. But then again, you have my face, so I suppose I can understand how it happened." Under the safety of the heavy blanket, his large hand found yours, giving it a playful, reassuring squeeze that made you chuckle.
"Stop teasing my son, Ryo" you said, giving Sukuna a warning look before turning your attention back to Yuji. "So all that noise downstairs was you trying to cook?"
Yuji nodded frantically, his eyes wide with appeal. "Yeah! She really loves pancakes, and that’s all she wanted, so... I tried. But I burned the first three, and the batter is lumpy, and the kitchen is a mess. Mom, please help me. Dad isn't going to do anything but sit there and judge."
You smiled, the sweet sight of your son being so completely unraveled by a girl melting your heart. You reached out, playfully slapping the back of Sukuna’s head. He let out a low grunt but didn't move.
"Alright, Yuji" you said gently. "Go downstairs and start clearing all burned pans. Your dad and I will be down in a few minutes."
"No, fuck off" Sukuna grumbled, rolling his shoulders as he glared at his son. "I ain't getting out of bed early just to meet some middle school brat's girlfriend. You're not going anywhere either, woman. I wanted to sleep."
Yuji immediately turned his gaze to you, his large, brown eyes wide with the exact puppy dog expression he had used since he was a toddler. You turned your head, giving Sukuna a sharp, icy glare
Sukuna cleared his throat, his posture instantly shifting. "Alright, alright. We’ll be downstairs in five minutes. Go clean up the mess before your mother sees it" he muttered quickly.
The moment the bedroom door clicked shut behind Yuji, Sukuna didn't lose a second. He lunged across the mattress, hauling you directly onto his lap. His hands gripped your waist, pulling your bare skin flush against his thighs as his mouth crashed onto yours in a deep, bruising kisses. You let out a small whine, your hands wrapping around his neck as you felt the heavy, rigid length of his manhood already pressing hard against your hip.
"A quick one" he whispered roughly against your throat, his breath coming in hot, uneven gasps as his teeth gently nipped at your collarbone. "I swear, baby. Just five minutes."
You laughed softly, your fingers tangling in his pink hair as you pulled him back up for another kiss. "You're pathetic, Ryo."
He lets out soft grunt "only for my wife."
___
When the two of you finally walked into the kitchen twenty minutes later no make it thirty. you had thrown on a simple white cotton nightie decorated with a black lace that fell just above your knees. Sukuna hadn't bothered with a shirt. he had simply pulled on a pair of grey sweatpants that hung low on his hips, his bare chest and tattoos on full display.
Yuji had indeed cleared the counter. He was currently leaning against the refrigerator, scrolling through his phone, but he quickly shoved it into his pocket the moment he saw the two of you step onto the tile. His eyes narrowed slightly as he took in his father’s thoroughly relaxed, smug expression.
"A 'few minutes' took way too long" Yuji said, giving both of you a massive side eye. "And for the record...I heard those noises."
Sukuna didn't even blink. As he walked past his son toward the coffee maker, he reached out and delivered a swift, playful punch to Yuji’s stomach hard enough to make the boy huff but light enough to be a joke. "Be grateful for those noises, brat. If it wasn't for them, your annoying face wouldn't even be standing in my kitchen."
Yuji scoffed, turning away to hide his red ears, and moved toward the island where you were already gathering a fresh bowl and flour. He reached over, pressing a sweet, apologetic kiss to your cheek. "Thank you, Mom" he whispered, immediately grabbing the milk and eggs to help you rewrite his culinary disaster.
You left soft smile.
While you measured out the ingredients for a proper, fluffy pancake batter, Sukuna stood by the far counter. He had already turned on the stove to boil water for your tea and pour a dark, bitter black coffee for himself.
"Just pour it gently into the center of the pan, Yuji" you instructed softly, guiding his hand as he held the ladle over the sizzling butter. "Once you see the little bubbles forming on the surface, that’s your cue to flip it. Don't rush it."
Yuji nodded with intense concentration, his entire focus dedicated to the circle of dough. Seeing that he had it under control, you left the bowl with him and walked over to where your husband was leaning against the marble counter, a freshly lit cigarette held between his lips as he stared out the window into the morning fog.
You reached out to grab your tea mug, but before your fingers could touch the cup, Sukuna’s large arm snaked around your waist. He hauled your back flush against his bare chest, his strong arms wrapping around you securely from behind, his chin resting comfortably on the top of your head. He handed you the hot mug with his free hand, his palm settling flat against your stomach, warm and steady.
"So" Sukuna murmured, puffing a stream of grey smoke "Who’s the girl?"
Yuji glanced over his shoulder, taking in the sight of his parents practically glued together. He gave another bombastic side eye, but there was a faint, fond smile on his face. he had been raised in a house where his parents were disgustingly, thoroughly in love, and he was completely used to it.
"She's a classmate" Yuji said, carefully flipping his second pancake with a proud grin. "Her name is Ozawa. She's really nice, She’s quiet, but she’s really smart. Sometimes she stays back after hours to teach me math when I’m failing."
Your eyes instantly brightened with excitement. "Oh, that’s wonderful, I am glad you meet someone like her!"
Sukuna let out a low sigh, the smoke curling around his sharp nose. "Just treat her right, brat. Don't do anything stupid. I'm still surprised that you could pull a girl like that" he muttered, though there was a faint, rare trace of fatherly pride in his rough tone.
You let out a soft chuckle, leaning back against his chest as you delivered a sharp elbow to his ribs. "Ryo! Be nice."
"Woman, stop abusing your man" Sukuna grunted, though his arm only tightened around your waist, his lips pressing a brief kiss into your messy bun.
____
An hour later, the kitchen table was entirely transformed. You and Yuji had compiled a massive stack of golden, perfect pancakes, alongside a savory platter of thick-cut bacon, soft scrambled eggs, and toasted sourdough mostly because Sukuna hates sweets for breakfast and needs real food. Sukuna had finally gone upstairs to take a quick shower and throw on a black t-shirt, while you quickly twisted your hair into more proper messy bun
Lately, the smell of food had been doing strange things to your equilibrium. As you set the last platter down, a sudden, violent wave of nausea washed over you, making your stomach churn. You swallowed hard, pressing a hand to your chest until the dizziness passed. You had felt off for the past week the mere sight of the maple syrup made your throat tighten, but you pushed it down. It was Yuji’s big morning. you weren't going to ruin it.
The sharp chime of the doorbell cut through the house.
Yuji instantly went rigid, his spatula nearly dropping from his hand. He looked incredibly nervous, his eyes darting to you for reassurance. You offered him a warm, encouraging smile, walking beside him as he hurried to the front entryway.
When he swung the heavy wooden door open, your eyes softened. Standing on the porch was a lovely, simple girl with short, neat blonde hair, large brown eyes, and slightly chubby cheeks that gave her a thoroughly sweet, innocent appearance. She was wearing a modest denim skirt and a cream sweater, her fingers clutching a small paper gift bag and a glass bottle.
"Hello, Mrs. Sukuna" she said, her voice small and polite as a bright, nervous blush covered her cheeks. "I am Ozawa. Thank you so much for having me."
Yuji stepped forward, offering her an awkward, stiff one armed hug that made you hide a giggle behind your hand. "Hey, Ozawa. Come on in."
"Good morning, Ozawa," you said warmly, stepping into the light with a bright smile. "It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. Come inside, the food is hot."
The girl’s eyes widened slightly as she looked at you, her blush deepening. "Oh... please take this, Mrs. Sukuna. It’s some traditional sweets from my hometown and a bottle of homemade apple juice my mother pressed yesterday." She held the bag out eagerly.
"Oh, sweetheart, you didn't have to bring anything" you said gently, reaching out to decline, but she pressed it into your hands with a shy smile.
"Please! You are so beautiful, Mrs. Sukuna" Ozawa blurted out, her eyes shining with genuine admiration. "Yuji always talks about how amazing his mom is, but you look so young!"
You let out a genuine, delighted laugh, the sweet compliment instantly winning you over. "You are too sweet darling And please, just call me Y/m."
As you led her into the dining room, you found your husband already seated. He had a fresh cigarette between his fingers, his eyes tracking the steam rising from the bacon. He looked thoroughly hungry and slightly bored, but the moment he heard your footsteps, his dark red eyes snapped up.
Seeing Yuji’s girlfriend enter, Sukuna lazily stood up from his chair, his massive, imposing height instantly making the room feel smaller.
"Good morning, Mr. Sukuna" Ozawa said, bowing her head politely, though she looked a bit intimidated by the sheer size and sharp tattoos of the man before her. "Thank you for inviting me to your home."
Sukuna gave a slow, single nod, stubbing his cigarette out in the glass ashtray with a practiced motion. "Morning, Ozawa. You're welcome in the house" he said, a faint, amused smirk playing on his sharp features as he glanced at his son. "If the brat ever does anything stupid or gives you any trouble, you just tell me. I’ll punch his pretty face for you."
A collective round of laughter broke the lingering tension. Yuji groaned, groveling into his seat. "Dad, please."
Breakfast turned out to be an incredibly easy, pleasant affair. Ozawa was delightfully grounded. she didn't try too hard to impress you or put on an act, simply remaining her polite, sweet self. She shared stories about her family’s farm, talked about her school projects, and explained how she managed to drag Yuji’s grades up in algebra.
Sukuna remained uncharacteristically quiet, mostly focusing on tearing through his plate of eggs and bacon with a savage appetite, but he occasionally dropped a few short, blunt questions. "Where does your father work?" "What are your plans for university?" It was his version of a thorough background check, and when Ozawa answered him directly without stuttering, a faint look of approval settled into his red eyes. He liked people who didn't shrink away from him.
By the time the plates were cleared, Yuji and Ozawa stood up to leave. he had promised to walk her down to the train station before her family event. You package a small box of fresh cupcakes you had baked the previous afternoon, handing them to the girl with a warm hug. Truthfully, you couldn't even stand to look at the sugar without your stomach turning, and Sukuna wouldn't touch them anyway.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Suk-Y/n" Ozawa said, her smile wide and bright as Yuji led her out the front door.
The front door clicked shut, leaving the house in a sudden, heavy morning quiet.
You walked back into the kitchen, the lingering scent of syrup and grease making your throat tighten again. Your stomach let out a hollow, painful growl, but the thought of solid food made you dizzy. Needing something cold and light to coat your throat, you grabbed a couple of bananas from the basket, threw them into the blender with some milk and honey, and turned the machine on.
As the blender whirred, two large, warm arms wrapped around your waist from behind.
Sukuna pulled your back flush against his chest, his large hands anchoring tightly over your hips, holding you steady against his frame. He didn't say anything at first, simply burying his face into the side of your neck, his rough stubble scratching your skin as he inhaled deeply.
"Everything alright?" his deep voice rumbled against your skin, unusually soft. "You haven't eaten a single thing normal for the past three days"
Your fingers tensed against the handle of the blender. You should have known. Sukuna was a man who noticed every single shift in your breathing, every single change in your posture. you could hide things from the rest of the world, but you were entirely transparent to him.
"I'm fine, Ryo" you murmured, turning off the blender and pouring the thick, yellow smoothie into a glass. "Just a minor stomach bug, I think. a little ache."
"Y/n" Sukuna said, his tone dropping into that firm tone that made you tense up, His hands shifted from your hips, his thumbs pressing firmly into the skin through the white nightie as he slowly turned you around within his embrace until you were forced to look up at him.
His dark red eyes searched your face, taking in the slight paleness of your cheeks and the faint shadows beneath your eyes. "You've been throwing up every single morning before the sun is even up. You look at the food I cook like it’ poison"
He leaned in closer, his chest pressing against yours. "So? Are you trying to surprise me by keeping a secret, or are you just being stubborn? Because it's completely obvious to anyone with eyes."
You stared up at him, your breath hitching as your fingers gripped the edge of the marble counter behind you. You let out a long, trembling sigh, the weight of the realization finally breaking through your own denial.
"I... I don't know, Ryo" you whispered, your eyes drifting down to his chest. "Getting pregnant at thirty-six... it sounds crazy. Yuji is fifteen. We have a teenager. It feels so weird."
A sudden, massive grin broke across Sukuna’s face a wide, sharp expression that instantly erased the years from his features, making him look exactly like the twenty year old kid who had pressed his hands against your stomach in a cramped bedroom.
"We’ve been trying to give the brat a sibling for seven years, so stop sulking" he rumbled, his large hand instantly dropping down to press flat against your stomach, his fingers spreading wide across your nightie. The familiar heat of his palm sent a wave of absolute security through your veins. "And don't give me that thirty six bullshit. You don't look a single day older than twenty, ma."
He leaned down, pressing his forehead firmly against yours, his red eyes burning with a deep, victorious joy.
"Ryo..." you breathed, your arms finally rising to wrap securely around his neck, burying your face into his shoulder. "I love you so much."
"I love you more, ma" he whispered against your ear, his arms locking around your waist as he lifted you effortlessly off the kitchen floor, holding you tight against his heart. "Let's see what the brat says when he finds out he's got to share his room."
"we have three empty rooms" you says with soft smile
"doesn't matter."
Part 2 >
Mhm yeah (this was Sukuna with his own son)
BoxerToji! x f!reader
(slightly angst, forbidden love, fluff)
Oneshot
Your husband was a man who worshipped the ground you walked on. Today, looking back, you were glad that despite everyone in your life desperately warning you not to date him, you had followed your heart anyway. You knew exactly why they had been so against him from the start. Toji was four years older than you, his lifestyle was reckless, and he was actively struggling with a mountain of personal issues.
But you hadn't cared. When you first met him, you had both mutually agreed to keep things entirely casual just hookups and great sex, no strings attached. At least, that was the lie you both chose to believe at the time. Because certainly, casual hookups didn't involve Toji picking you up on his motorcycle to drive you around the city on late-night dates, nor did they involve you baking him fresh trays of cookies. But that was exactly what your "casual" arrangement looked like.
By the time you fully realized you had fallen deeply in love with him, your life was suddenly thrown into absolute chaos. Your traditional, unyielding father decided that the moment you graduated university, he was going to marry you off. When you broke the terrifying news to Toji, he went completely mad like super duper mad.
And that explosive reaction was the exact moment you discovered that he had fallen just as deeply, violently in love with you, too.
You were currently hunched over in your bedroom, speaking into your phone in panicked, frantic whispers so absolutely no one would overhear you. Fortunately, no one was actually home at the moment except for the family servants. Your father was an extraordinarily wealthy tycoon, and he had already arranged for you to be wed to the son of one of his most prominent business partners.
But after days of relentless begging, crying, and pleading, you had finally convinced your father to at least sit down and talk with Toji. Your father had reluctantly agreed, stating that if he actually liked the man, he might consider letting you marry him instead.
You were completely convinced that Toji would easily win him over. After all, when he wanted to be, Toji Fushiguro was a charmer.
Admittedly, Toji's current financial situation was far from stable. He split his time working as a mechanic at a local garage and competing in dangerous, brutal underground boxing matches. He significantly preferred the underground boxing because it made him a lot of quick, heavy cash, but you always begged him to stop competing. You were constantly worried sick that he would end up seriously hurt.
"Toji, please... just dress normally" you pleaded through the phone, your heart racing. "I don't want you to leave a bad impression on my dad. Please wear the expensive suit I bought you, and don't forget to bring the chocolates and flowers I told you to get-"
"Woman. Relax" his rough, gravelly voice murmured over the line, sending a delicious shiver straight down your spine. "Your old man will be impressed. And even if he isn't, I am taking what's mine. With his consent or without it."
You let out a soft sigh, your cheeks warming up. "I know... but please, just don't do anything stupid. I love you."
"I won't. Love you more. Take care of yourself" he said gently before the line went completely dead.
The next day arrived far too quickly. You dressed with extreme care, putting on an elegant, knee length black silk dress that looked classy and chic. You styled your hair into a sleek bun and applied your makeup flawlessly. You had bought Toji an expensive, tailored black suit with your own money, knowing he couldn't afford something like that on his own, and you had chosen a matching black dress so the two of you would look perfectly unified.
Your high heels clicked sharply against the polished marble floor as you walked downstairs. The servants were bustling around the massive living room, perfectly adjusting the dining table, while your father and mother emerged from his private office. Your father looked imposing in his tailored, custom suit, and your mother looked elegant in a rich brown designer dress.
They took their seats on the plush couch, and you sat right beside them, your hands trembling in your lap. At any second, Toji was going to knock on that door, and the journey to finally becoming his wife would begin.
A sharp, firm knock echoed through the foyer. Your eyes lit up instantly. Your father was completely absorbed in a conversation with your mother about corporate investments and interior design, entirely ignoring your anxiety.
A servant quickly walked toward the massive front door, balancing a silver tray in one hand while swinging the heavy wood open with the other. You sat up completely straight, holding your breath, waiting for Toji to stride in and effortlessly impress your upper class family.
And stride in he did.
But the moment he crossed the threshold, your eyes widened to the size of saucers not in happiness, but in agonizing awkwardness.
Toji hadn't worn the expensive suit. He hadn't brought the chocolates or the flowers. Instead, he was wearing a simple, visibly stained grey shirt, baggy grey sweatpants, and a pair of cheap, worn out slippers. He smelled powerfully of cheap cigarettes and metallic, dried blood. Every single servant in the room froze, staring at him in utter, jaw dropping shock. Toji calmly took a long drag from his cigarette, locked his green eyes onto yours, and casually stubbed the burning ash right out onto the silver tray the paralyzed servant was holding.
Then, he threw you a lazy, incredibly slow wink.
You were completely frozen to your seat, unable to move a single muscle as he walked confidently into the center of your family's living room. He looked up at the towering crystal chandelier, letting out a low, casual whistle of appreciation.
Your father slowly turned his head, staring at the man with an expression of profound, unmatched disappointment. Your mother, on the other hand, was too deeply horrified to even form words.
Toji casually extended a large, rough hand toward your father for a handshake. Your father stared down at the massive, scarred hand for a long, torturous moment before letting out a sharp sigh. He gave Toji’s hand a brief, incredibly stiff shake and immediately pulled away, wiping his palm against his trousers.
Toji merely smirked. Without waiting to be invited, he slammed his massive frame down onto the pristine designer couch opposite your parents. He spread his long legs out lazily, tossing one ankle over his knee as he stared right back at your father.
Your father’s eyes slowly traveled down Toji's clothing, taking in his unbothered, cheap behavior before his gaze firmly landed on the ragged slippers on his feet. It was completely disgusting. your father was clearly thinking that he wouldn't even let a common street servant marry with toji, let alone allow this lowlife to touch his only daughter.
Toji instantly noticed your father judging his footwear. With a sharp grin, he reached down, pulled one of the slippers off his foot, and held it up.
"Are you staring at these, Father-in-law? Look, there's even a hole right here in the toe" Toji chuckled roughly, waving the slipper in your father's face before casually sliding it back onto his foot.
Your father was completely too stunned to speak. He looked like he was actively on the verge of having a massive heart attack.
"Look, old man" Toji started, his voice dropping into a serious, grounded tone. "Your daughter told me to lie to you. She wanted me to come here wearing some fancy suit, holding chocolates and flowers and all that nonsense. But look at me that ain't who I am. I don't have money right now, alright? But I am going to treat her like a total queen. Even if my own clothes are torn to shreds..." Toji’s green eyes gently flickered over to your face, softening for a fraction of a second. "She will always wear the most expensive clothes. She will be protected. I don't need your damn money, and I ain't marrying her for your wealth. I just need her." He looked back at your father, dead in the eyes.
For a single, fleeting second, a spark of hope ignited in your chest. Your father hated liars, and Toji had just spoken the raw, unvarnished truth. You genuinely thought your father might actually respect his honesty.
Until your father finally spoke, his voice trembling with sheer rage.
"I don't know what is wrong with the youth of today" your father hissed, standing up. "Listen to me, you cheap, disgusting boy. I will never hand my daughter over to a man who doesn't even know how to behave like a civilized human being. And how exactly are you going to treat her like a queen? Huh? By dealing drugs? By stealing? And then, at the end of the day, you'll just cheat on her and abandon her. That is exactly the kind of man you are. A pathetic piece of shit like you doesn't even deserve to be a doormat in my house—"
You gasped loudly, the sound tearing from your throat. "Dad! Stop it!"
Your father threw you a terrifying, silencing glare, forcing you to quiet down. Your eyes desperately sought out Toji, but his face had completely reverted back to that dull, empty expression.
"First, take a look at yourself, you disgusting lowlife" your father sneered, pressing his hand against his forehead as his blood pressure spiked. "You are not even on the level of the shoes on my feet. But... you know what? Maybe I will let you marry my daughter."
Your eyes widened instantly, a massive wave of hope rushing through your veins.
"If you get down on your knees and lick this entire marble floor clean with your tongue, then maybe—"
"Dad! Enough! Stop it right now!" you screamed, violently standing up from the couch.
Heavy, hot tears threatened to spill over your eyelashes as you glared at your father. It was absolute torture seeing the only man you loved so deeply get humiliated and insulted like a dog, while you were completely powerless to stop it.
Toji suddenly let out a low, dark chuckle. He stood up slowly, towering over your father. "Alright then, dear Father-in-law. Take care of yourself. But just remember...karma is a total bitch. Today you might be the king, but tomorrow, someone else takes the throne." Toji offered a small, sarcastic smirk.
If you hadn't known him so intimately, you would have truly believed that your father's cruel words hadn't affected him at all. But you knew him. You saw the subtle, deeply wounded look hidden deep within his green eyes.
"Throw this piece of trash out of my house!" your father roared to the security team.
Immediately, two massive, heavily built bodyguards marched into the living room toward Toji. Toji just let out a lazy sigh. Before the guards could even reach him, he casually leaned across the space, cupped your jaw, and pressed a firm, lingering kiss right against your blushed cheek, right in front of your gasping mother and furious father.
When the bodyguards went to grab him, Toji smoothly shrugged their hands off his shoulders and walked out of the mansion entirely on his own terms.
"Prepare your daughter" your father barked loudly at your mother, his voice booming through the entire house. "The wedding is in exactly two days. I have had absolutely enough of this shit."
You were entirely broken. You ran upstairs to your bedroom, slamming the door shut and violently tearing off the elegant black silk dress. You could hear your mother knocking frantically on the door, but you just screamed, "Leave me the hell alone!" as you buried your face deep into your pillows, sobbing uncontrollably.
You didn't understand why Toji had acted that way. Why couldn't he have just worn the suit? Why did he have to ruin everything?
You grabbed your phone and rang Toji’s number over and over again, but he refused to pick up, making you cry even harder. As the hours passed, a dark, devastating thought began to poison your mind. You began to believe that he had done this entirely on purpose. You thought that he didn't actually want to marry you that you really had just been a casual, temporary fling to him, and this was his cowardly way of getting rid of you without having to break your heart himself.
You cried and sobbed into the dark room until your body finally gave out from exhaustion, and you fell into a heavy sleep.
The next day arrived with brutal speed. Your entire schedule was completely booked by your mother. You were dragged to a luxury parlor, where your entire body was subject to painful hair-laser treatments. You had tried calling Toji four more times four fucking times and even after your father explicitly threatened to confiscate your phone, you still managed to secretly text him twelve times. Every single message was left completely on unread.
You were sick with worry. Your entire mind was entirely consumed by thoughts of Toji, while your mother oblivious stood over you, holding up sets of immensely expensive diamond jewelry and designer wedding heels.
You hadn't eaten a single bite of food since the previous night. You felt entirely nauseous, and you wanted to scream as your family forced you to taste test different wedding cakes, when every single flavor tasted exactly like ash in your mouth.
At this point, the only option that felt comforting was swallowing a bottle of poison.
Tomorrow was going to be your wedding day. Tomorrow, you were going to walk down an aisle and hold another man’s hand instead of Toji’s. You were going to be forced to look into a stranger's eyes instead of the deep green ones you loved so fiercely. You were going to have to kiss someone else, who isn't Toji.
"I don't want any of this, Mom! Stop it!" you finally screamed, your voice cracking as the nearby servants flinched. "Just choose the fucking cake yourself! You're already choosing and deciding my entire life without even asking me if I'm happy!" You burst into violent tears, turning on your heel and sprinting back up to your room.
"Baby, please!" your mother called out after you, but she eventually just sighed, turning back to the expensive fabrics and gold trinkets.
You tried calling Toji one last time, but the automated voicemail answered. In a state of utter desperation, you called your mutual friends from the garage, but they told you that Toji hadn't been picking up his phone for them either. You were completely, entirely broken. Tomorrow was the final deadline. If you couldn't be with Toji, you didn't want to live.
You cried yourself to sleep once again, the weight of the world crushing your chest.
The wedding morning arrived like a sudden slap to the face. The entire mansion was elaborately decorated with white floral arrangements, and people woke you up at the crack of dawn. You were entirely exhausted. A team of celebrity makeup artists and high-end hairdressers crowded your room, chatting excitedly about how absolutely beautiful you looked.
And you really did look beautiful. When they finally laced you into the heavy designer wedding gown, it clung perfectly to every single curve of your body. You looked like an absolute angel descending from heaven.
But inside, you were a corpse. You had secretly tried calling Toji again and again all morning, only to fail every single time. This was it. You were finally giving up. You resigned yourself to your fate, ready to walk downstairs and marry a man whose face you barely knew.
Your bridesmaids entered the room, looking gorgeous in their matching gowns, tears welling in their eyes at the sight of you.
Your father then walked in, genuine tears in his eyes as he looked at his daughter. He walked over, pressed a soft, gentle kiss to your forehead, and left the room to let you collect your thoughts.
Finally, your mother stepped inside. The moment her eyes landed on you, she burst into heavy tears. She walked over, her hands trembling as she looked at her baby girl all grown up.
"Hey, Mommy" you whispered entirely devoid of emotion, reaching up to wipe tear from your cheek.
"Look at my baby girl... you look so breathtakingly beautiful" she whispered, her voice shaking as she gently touched your shoulders.
You simply nodded, closing your eyes. You braced yourself, waiting for her to utter the words that it was time to walk down the stairs to meet your future husband.
"Those high heels are going to be really uncomfortable while running," your mother said softly, her tone suddenly changing. "Change into a pair of flat shoes."
You blinked, staring at her in complete confusion. "Running where? To my so.called future husband?" You sighed, reaching up to adjust a pin in your hair.
"Fortunately, no," your mother whispered, a small, knowing smile breaking across her face. "Toji is waiting for you right behind the estate."
Your eyes widened to their absolute limits. For a horrifying second, you thought she was playing a cruel joke on you, but her expression was completely, entirely serious. Your breath hitched as you screamed, "What?!!!"
"Shh! Quiet, silly girl! Don't ruin it" your mother urged quickly, pushing a pair of sneakers into your hands. "Be quick. I am going to go back out there and distract the guests and your father. Put your shoes on and go through the cellar." She gave your arm a tight squeeze and quickly hurried out of the room.
You felt like you were going to explode into tears of pure disbelief. You frantically kicked off the painful designer heels, shoving your feet into the flat shoes. Bunching up the massive layers of your expensive white wedding gown in your arms, you slipped quietly out of your room. You rushed down the back staircase, bypassing the grand living room where the chatter of hundreds of guests echoed, and entered the dim basement.
You threw open the heavy cellar exit door, stepping out into the crisp morning air. You sprinted past the manicured hedges toward the back gates of the estate, pushing them open with all the strength you had left.
And there he was.
Toji was leaning casually against his black motorcycle, looking like he owned the entire world. He was smoking a cigarette, but this time, he was wearing the immaculate, expensive black suit you had bought him. In one hand, he was clutching a massive bouquet of your favorite flowers. And resting securely on the leather seat of his bike was a small, velvet ring box.
The moment his green eyes locked onto you, you let out a loud sob, sprinting forward and slamming your body directly into his broad chest.
"You came..." you whispered into his suit jacket, clutching him as if he would disappear.
"I always will" Toji murmured, his deep voice vibrating against your ear. "Now hop on the bike. And... you look absolutely breathtaking."
His eyes traveled slowly over your face, filled with a profound, quiet reverence. He was so much glad to finally have his girl in his arms. The truth was, Toji hadn't abandoned you at all. He had spent the last forty eight hours straight in the underground boxing ring, taking on the most brutal, highly dangerous high stake fights back to back just to earn enough cash to buy you the most flawless diamond ring possible. He had broken three of his ribs and his entire body was covered in deep, purple bruises hidden beneath the suitbut looking at you right now, he knew it was worth every single drop of blood.
You threw your legs over the bike, wrapping your arms tightly around his waist as he revved the engine. He tore down the street, driving incredibly fast away from your past life. You let out a loud, joyous giggle, squeezing him tighter as a massive grin broke across Toji's face.
"Where are we going?!" you shouted over the roar of the wind.
"To the registry office to make you Mrs. Fushiguro!" he called back.
Four years later.
Your hands were planted firmly on your hips as you glared at the absolute disaster area in front of you. The entire living room was completely messy the beautiful, house that you and Toji had been living in for the past few years. Toji had eventually become a highly successful, wealthy professional boxer. He was the type of rich where he had actually personally bailed your father's corporation out of a massive financial crisis a year ago when his business needed money.
And you were so happy the day Toji stood Infront of your Father and looked at him like your father had looked at him few years ago.
But right now, you were absolutely angry You had only stepped out of the house for an hour to go grocery shopping, and you had returned to find the entire living room turned into a chaotic costume party wasteland. Clothes and plastic props were strewn absolutely everywhere.
"Toji Fushiguro!!! Get your ass downstairs right now!" you yelled up the stairs.
A moment later, he emerged, stepping down the stairs. And what exactly was he wearing? A full, adult sized Batman costume. And tucked securely under his massive arm was your one year old baby boy, Megumi, who was dressed in a matching little Spider.Man outfit. Toji hadn't pulled the mask over his face, leaving his chubby and cute features completely visible.
"We are here to save the world, Mommy! Me and Spider Man!" Toji announced, lifting a chubby little Megumi high into the air like a prize lottery ticket.
You rolled your eyes hard, but a smile instantly threatened to break your angry facade. You walked over, scooping giggling Megumi into your own arms and pressing a flurry of loud kisses against his soft, chubby cheeks. The baby kicked his little legs in pure delight.
"Where are my kisses?" Toji asked, leaning his face down toward your lips.
You quickly stepped to the side, dodging him. Toji let out a dramatic gasp of offense.
"Clean up this living room right now." you ordered.
"But why is it just me?!" Toji complained loudly, tossing his plastic Batman cowl onto the floor dramatically. "Your son was actively helping me make the mess! Why am I the only one who has to clean?!"
Little Megumi let out a loud, bubbly giggle at his father's booming voice.
"See? Right there, he agrees with me," Toji grinned. He leaned over, playfully snatching Megumi back into his massive arms and blowing a loud raspberry against the baby's neck, making the toddler shriek with laughter.
"Tsk. I swear, you act like a child, Toji" you laughed, turning around to walk into the kitchen.
Before you could take a single step, Toji’s large, strong hand snaked around your waist. He pulled you flush against his chest, burying his nose deep into the crook of your neck. He began pressing soft, lingering, warm kisses against your skin while little Megumi babbled happily, pulling at Toji's costume ears.
"I have everything I could ever want right here," Toji whispered softly against your skin, making you smile deeply as you leaned back into his warmth.

Ex HusbandKuna x f!reader
One year after your divorce, you runs into your ex husband at a friend's birthday party. Neither of you expected to see each other again, and neither of you had prepared for the memories that come with it.
You and Sukuna had been married for three beautiful years, a time when your life felt completely over the moon. It was happy, peaceful, and everything you had ever wished for. In those early stages, you both thoroughly enjoyed your lives together. You went on endless dates and had sex in every location you could possibly think of.
Even on the kitchen counter and yeah even public bathroom, you never regret any of that.
That was your life with Sukuna laughing until your stomach physically hurt, sitting lazily on his lap, and watching cheesy romantic comedies. Even though he always complained that they were so boring and dramatic, you both had watched 'She’s the Man' at least six times, and he always watched it with full interest just because you were there.
He was a good man. Even though others constantly portrayed him as an arrogant asshole with an ego as high as the Burj Khalifa, or a ruthless bastard who would beat the shit out of anyone for looking at him wrong, he was never that way with you.
With you, he was something entirely different. He was the only person who made you feel completely safe in his arms. You loved spending every second with him. You and Sukuna genuinely couldn't live without each other, and he was always more than proud to admit it. He was a busy man and so were you. you worked long hours at the hospital, and he was a highly successful architect, but the dates and the effortless romance were always a priority. He would patiently paint your nails while you talked his ear off about the latest hospital gossip or a new show you were watching. And he always listened. He truly did.
If you ever felt sick, he was right there. He would immediately take a day off work just to look after you, because you were his. His sweet girl.
The age gap between you was just two years. You had initially met in high school as bitter enemies who absolutely couldn't stand the sight of each other, only to end up as husband and wife who couldn't bear to be apart.
When you turned twenty nine, you got pregnant, and Sukuna was absolutely over the world. He was so happy. He always found a way to hold your growing baby bump, gently squeezing it and kissing your skin, loving you even more with each passing day.
One afternoon, while you were standing in the kitchen making tea, Sukuna wrapped his arms around you from behind. He placed both of his large, rough hands over the small baby bump that was still growing. "I bet it's going to be a girl" he murmured gently, pressing soft, warm kisses against your neck.
Both of you simply wanted a healthy, fit child. the gender never truly mattered. Sukuna built and prepared the nursery entirely by himself. You both decorated it or rather, you sat comfortably in a chair and gave directions while Sukuna did all the hard labor, because he refused to let you lift a single finger.
Life was perfect. It was just like a fairy tale.
But fairy tales only exist in movies and books, not in real life.
You miscarried. You were driving home from the hospital after a long shift. Sukuna had called and told you to wait at the hospital until he could come pick you up, but you had refused. You told him that you had your own car, and that there was no point in him making the extra trip.
If only you had waited that day, maybe things would have turned out differently. The horrific car crash happened too fast, right in front of your eyes. A massive truck slammed directly into your vehicle with enough force to kill you, and a part of you deeply wished it had. At least then you wouldn't have had to live through the agony of losing your baby girl. It was a girl. You were seven months pregnant, and the doctors had to cut your stomach open in an emergency procedure just to take the lifeless infant out.
That loss completely broke both you and Sukuna. You fell into a deep, suffocating depression. Sukuna stopped working entirely for a solid month just to remain by your side, pulling you through every violent nightmare and every painful bout of crying.
He supported you constantly, even though he was losing himself, too. He had lost his daughter, and he had nearly lost his wife.
But your severe depression eventually led to you getting constantly annoyed over the smallest things. You started making wild, baseless accusations, claiming Sukuna was cheating on you. Deep down, you felt absolutely pathetic, but you couldn't stop. Sukuna never snapped back. he understood the immense trauma you were carrying. It went on like that for a year you constantly ignored him or showed him a terrible attitude over nothing. He was getting tired. Not tired of you he could never be tired of you. but completely exhausted by the toxic wall you had built between you.
And when he finally sighed one evening and told you to stop acting like a bitch, you completely lost it.
"Oh?! So I am the bitch?!" you had yelled at the top of your lungs, tears streaming down your face. "Really? Fuck you, Sukuna! I fucking wish I never married you! I fucking hate you!"
He never answered. He just stood there, glaring at you with a deeply broken expression before he turned and left the house.
After that night, he started drinking heavily and smoking even more. Everything came to a sudden, crashing end far too quickly. You moved out of the shared house, refusing to take a single dime of alimony because you didn't want anything from him. And just like that, after a quick and quiet divorce, it was completely over.
Now, a year later, you stood in front of the mirror, smoothing down a beautiful, elegant baby blue silk dress. It was completely backless, making you look incredibly chic and sophisticated. Your hair was tied up into a perfectly styled messy bun, your makeup was done effortlessly, and you wore expensive, elegant heels.
You walked toward the large house where Shoko's twin babies were celebrating their first birthday. You felt genuinely happy for her. Maybe a tiny, subconscious part of you felt a slight sting of jealousy seeing your friends move forward with their families, but you were genuinely thrilled for them. Your own love life was alright. you dated on and off, having casual sex whenever you felt the need for physical affection. Mostly, you spent your days shopping and treating yourself, because you deserved it.
You had been consistently going to therapy ever since the tragedy, and it was helping.
Taking a deep, steady breath just like your therapist had taught you to do you prepared to knock on the front door. But you quickly realized it was useless, as the loud sounds of laughter and chatter were echoing from the backyard. Shoko and her husband, Suguru, had rented this beautiful, massive estate for a week to celebrate. They were such a wonderful couple.
Holding the beautifully wrapped gift bags tightly in your hands, you walked around the side of the house toward the backyard. The spacious lawn was packed with people, covered in colorful clusters of balloons, and centered around a massive table loaded with delicious food. At least you knew you could enjoy the catering.
You walked gently over to Shoko, who was currently holding one of the twins. You didn't look around the crowd too much, not caring to see who else was there, since you had cut off most of your old social circle after the divorce.
"Oh my god! Look who's here! Auntie is looking so pretty!" Shoko cooed in a sweet baby voice, rocking the infant in her arms.
You giggled softly, walking right up to them to press a loud, loving kiss against the baby girl's chubby cheek. "Muah! My beautiful baby girl is getting so big! Where is the other one?" you asked, hugging Shoko tightly and kissing her cheek.
"Thanks, bitch! The other one just completely shit herself, you know how it is," Shoko laughed, rolling her eyes. "Suguru is upstairs changing her diaper right now. By the way, you are absolutely glowing!"
You smiled gently. "Thank you, Sho, Motherhood definitely suits you, but for God Sake stop cursing in front of this cutie pie." You leaned down to kiss little Lily again, and she gave you a wide, gummy smile that completely melted your heart.
"Alright, alright, whatever the Boss says" Shoko winked playfully. "Anyway, Suguru invited a ton of hot men today, so if you're looking to find a good one, keep your eyes open."
You shook your head, laughing softly at her antics. "Sure, Sho. Here, take the gifts. And I think this little one needs a diaper change now, too." you added, pointing at the telltale smell suddenly drifting from Lily.
Shoko made a comical, disgusted face. She quickly grabbed the bags, blew you a kiss, and hurried off toward the house.
Left alone, you felt a sudden wave of boredom. You recognized a few familiar faces in the crowd, but every single one of them was wrapped up with their partners and their children. Deciding to skip the awkward small talk, you headed inside the main house to use the restroom.
As you stepped through the back doors, you could hear Suguru and Shoko playfully bickering over the diaper changes in the next room, making you chuckle softly.
"Hey, Y/N! How are you? It's been a while!" Suguru called out warmly, spotting you near the hallway.
"I'm doing really well, Suguru. What about you?" you called back, pausing by the stairs.
"Just trying to adjust to fatherhood," he said with a friendly, tired smile. "Go ahead and enjoy yourself today!"
You nodded appreciatively and began walking upstairs, adjusting the silk of your dress. The blue fabric flowed elegantly with every step, clinging beautifully to your curves. You stared at the various doors in the upper hallway, wondering what kind of massive estate Shoko had actually rented. There were so many rooms, and absolutely none of them had a bathroom sign on them.
Sighing, you opened a random door just to see if it was a restroom, closing it behind you when you realized it was just a simple bedroom. Turning around to leave, you felt someone turn the doorknob from the other side at the exact same time. The door swung open abruptly, catching you off guard. In the sudden movement, one of your expensive earrings slipped from your earlobe and clattered to the floor.
"Tsk! Stupid" you muttered under your breath, immediately bending down to retrieve it.
But before your fingers could touch the jewelry, another hand reached down and picked it up. Your entire life completely stopped. Your breath caught in your throat. You could forget almost anything in this world, but you could never, ever forget those large, rough, heavily tattooed hands.
"Here" Sukuna said lazily.
As he held the earring out, his sharp gaze finally met yours, and he froze completely. He had just been wandering the halls looking for a bathroom to take a quick piss, casually opening doors, and now he deeply regretted it.
You were standing right there in front of him, looking absolutely beautiful out of this world beautiful. How long had it been? A year? Maybe even longer since he had last seen your face. He had tried asking Suguru about how you were doing a few times, but their mutual friends had never given him much information.
You quickly snatched the earring from his rough palm, your fingers trembling slightly as you tried to clip it back onto your ear. He stood directly in the doorway, his massive frame making it incredibly hard for you to move or slide past him.
"Excuse me" you murmured sharply, keeping your eyes trained on your hands as you struggled with the jewelry.
"Y/n?" he finally spoke.
His voice was just as rough and deep as you remembered. He still smelled exactly the same a distinct blend of expensive cologne and heavy cigarette smoke, a scent you used to love so much. He was wearing a crisp white button down shirt and navy blue trousers, making him look exceptionally handsome and sharp.
"Yeah?" you replied, firmly avoiding eye contact.
"...How have you been?" he asked quietly.
His eyes had softened. They had actually softened in a way that showed he deeply, genuinely cared about the answer. Because he did.
You took a deep, grounding breath, exactly the way your therapist had instructed you to do during moments of high stress. Finally finding the courage, you lifted your chin and met his gaze. The moment your eyes locked, a crushing wave of old memories flashed through your mind, threatening to tear down your composure.
You cleared your throat, forcing your voice to remain steady. "I am good. really well, actually. What about you?"
You began to step forward, intending to finally walk past him now that he had moved slightly to the side. But as you stepped out into the hallway, his long strides fell right into alignment with yours, walking beside you.
"fine" he muttered, looking straight ahead. "I didn't know you were going to be here today."
"I didn't know you'd be here either" you replied, a slight edge to your tone.
"I'm surprised you even came, considering you've been completely ghosting all of our mutual friends." He said making you annoyed
"I haven't been ghosting Shoko," you defended yourself softly. "And why wouldn't I come?"
"Whatever" He muttered, a familiar spark of annoyance rising in your chest.
Sukuna let out a quiet sigh, his eyes lingering on your profile for a brief second. "You look..nice, Y/n. You're glowing. Life has been treating you right, I guess."
"Yeah, it has" you lied smoothly, keeping your chin held high.
"Alright then. See you around," he murmured. He stopped walking, turning back toward the stairs to head down to the party.
You paused for a split second, staring at his retreating back. The heavy, deliberate way he walked, the sharp clench of his jaw every single detail violently reminded you of the old times. Of the life you used to have.
When you finally made your way down to the backyard, your eyes immediately caught sight of Shoko’s mother. You had always deeply disliked that woman. You could never fully pin down why, but she had never liked you either perhaps out of some strange, deep-seated jealousy or bitterness you could never understand.
Your eyes instinctively began scanning the crowded yard, searching for Sukuna. You immediately hated yourself for doing it. But when you finally located him across the lawn, you realized he was already staring directly at you. The moment your eyes met, he sharply snapped his head away, pretending to look at something else.
Eventually, it was time for the highlight of the party. Shoko and Suguru stood behind a massive cake, holding little Lily and Liana as the babies bubbled, babbled, and screamed happily. Everyone gathered around the long banquet table to eat and celebrate. The atmosphere was filled with loud laughter and the clinking of glasses.
By total twist of fate, you found yourself seated right in the middle of Kenjaku and an older lady who was eating her food like a pig. Directly across the table, sitting right in front of you, was Sukuna. Beside him sat Shoko's mother and Suguru.
The conversations flowed effortlessly across the table, with various guests sharing funny stories from high school, talking about work, and discussing life.
Until Shoko's mother loudly cleared her throat, capturing the attention of the table. "I truly think that being a mother is a gift," she announced pompously. "Not every woman possesses the ability or the grace to have that."
Shoko rolled her eyes hard but chose not to say anything, wanting to keep the peace. You let out a quiet, sarcastic chuckle, catching the way Suguru practically gagged into his drink at his mother-in-law's words.
"And I am just so incredibly happy that my sweet Shoko is such a great mother" the older woman continued loudly, turning to face the other elderly ladies at the table with a huge, boastful smile. "She handles the entire house and two babies perfectly."
You set your fork down, a small, calm smile playing on your lips. "Motherhood is beautiful, certainly" you countered smoothly. "But I think not everyone deserves to have that blessing. I've seen some of the worst people have children, only for those poor kids to end up with severe mental health problems because of their parents."
"Of course, of course!" Shoko's mother let out a loud, forced laugh, clearly displeased at being challenged.
Across the table, Sukuna let out a rough scoff. He grabbed a fresh bottle of beer, taking a long sip before casually pouring more alcohol into the cups of the guests sitting near him. His sharp eyes shifted up, locking onto you as if silently asking if you needed a drink or if you were doing alright. You simply shook your head subtly, looking away from him.
Shoko's mother narrowed her eyes, her gaze landing squarely on you. The sweet, fake smile on her face turned incredibly malicious.
"Didn't you have a miscarriage, Y/n?" she asked loudly, her voice cutting through the chatter of the table.
Your entire body went completely still. The ambient noise of the party seemed to vanish instantly. Across the table, Sukuna’s hand froze dead in mid air, his beer glass halting just inches from his lips.
Shoko’s head snapped toward her mother, her face contorting into an absolute fury as she threw her a deadly glare. "Mom!, stop--"
You swallowed the sudden lump of ice in your throat, forcing yourself to take a slow breath. "Uhm, yeah. Unfortunately, I did" you replied softly, your voice trembling slightly. A few of the older women sitting nearby immediately began murmuring softly, trying to show genuine empathy and comfort toward you to smooth over the tension.
But Shoko’s mother wasn't finished. She let out a soft, dismissive hum, leaning forward onto the table. "Well, have you ever considered that perhaps God took your child away from you because He knew you wouldn't be a good mother? Whatever happens, happens for a good reason. Maybe that kid was just supposed to die now or later anyway—"
Before the horrific sentence could even fully leave her mouth, Sukuna was on his feet.
It didn't take him a single second. With an explosive, terrifying speed, his fist flew across the table, punching Shoko’s mother squarely in the face.
The heavy wood of the table rattled as the woman went flying backward out of her chair, crashing hard into the grass. The entire backyard erupted into absolute chaos and screaming.
"You fucking hag!" Shoko’s father roared in shock, rushing forward to violently push Sukuna away.
But Sukuna wasn't having a single piece of it. He was completely out of his mind with pure, unadulterated rage. He lunged forward again, his massive fists throwing punch after punch, completely blind to the world around him. You stood up from your chair, frozen in absolute shock, entirely overwhelmed as the screams of the guests echoed in your ears.
"And I think God thinks your fucking time has come, and that you don't deserve to live in this world anymore! How about that, huh?!" Sukuna roared, his deep voice vibrating with an terrifying, animalistic fury. "Talk about my girl like that again Idare you!-- Fucking let me go! I am going to kill this fucking hag!"
Suguru, Kenjaku, and three other men had to throw their entire weight against Sukuna, desperately pinning his arms and dragging him backward to keep him from completely destroying the older woman.
Sukuna was breathing heavily, his white shirt slightly torn as he was finally forced out of the backyard and away from the party. The celebration was entirely ruined. someone was already franticly calling an ambulance for the bleeding woman on the grass.
Your vision blurred completely as heavy tears finally spilled over your eyelashes. You couldn't believe someone could be so cruel, to say something so deeply monstrous to you about the daughter you had lost.
In a daze, you quickly wiped at your wet cheeks, walking as fast as your heels could carry you away from the chaotic house and out toward the front driveway.
As you reached the quiet street, you spotted him.
Sukuna was leaning heavily against his motorcycle, a lit cigarette pressed between his lips. His knuckles were bruised and stained with blood, his chest still heaving with residual adrenaline. As the sound of your heels clicked against the asphalt, his sharp eyes lifted, locking directly onto yours.
Seeing the sheer, protective fury still lingering in his gaze the same man who had just risked everything to defend your honor, had made completely broke down. You burst into violent, heavy tears right there on the pavement.
Part 2 >
(this gonna flop but whatever)
HusbandKuna x Reader who lost her memory
After a tragic accident erased your memories, you no longer remember the man you married. Unfortunately for you, Ryomen Sukuna remembers everything. And he'll do whatever it takes to make you remember him too.
Everything was so much weird.
When you first opened your eyes, the world was a blur of harsh lights and a rhythmic, annoying beep that made your head throb. A crowd of people were hovering over your bed, their faces twisted into expressions of pure horror and desperation. It felt like they were looking at a ghost or maybe a god that had suddenly fallen from the sky. The moment you blinked and stared back at them with blank, unrecognizing eyes, the room dissolved into quiet, breathless weeping.
You were completely utterly lost. Who was the woman with the dark circles under her eyes calling herself Shoko? Why was she gripping your hand like her entire world was ending? You knew your own name y/n echoed clearly in the empty caverns of your mind, but beyond that single fact, there was only a vast, terrifying void. You understood the modern world. you knew what a smartphone was, you recognized the concept of Wi-Fi, and when you mumbled those details, the doctors in the room let out collective, gasping sighs of relief.
But the real shock came twenty minutes later.
The heavy door to the hospital room burst open with a violent slam. A man lunged inside like a madman, his chest heaving as he fought for breath. You had never seen anyone look like him. His hair was a soft, striking shade of pastel pink so pretty and unexpected that you wondered for a fleeting second if he had dyed it just to stand out. Dark, intricate tattoos mapped across his skin, curling around his sharp cheekbones and framing his eyes. And those eyes... they were a piercing, burning red, swirling with a volatile mixture of terrifying rage and profound, shattering sadness.
You just sat there in your oversized, faded blue hospital gown, looking small and fragile as your confused gaze met his. The man froze, roughly brushing a strand of pink hair out of his face. His clothes were covered in a layer of grey dust and dried grit, looking as though he had sprinted straight off a construction site the second he got the news.
"Fucking... God. Hey, princess... fuck, don't you ever scare me like that again" he breathed, his deep, gravelly voice cracking as he took two massive strides toward your bedside, staring down at you with a desperation that made the air feel heavy.
You shrank back into the pillows, your brow furrowing. Princess? Were you in some bizarre historical simulation? Did kings and horses still exist? No, the blinking medical monitors around you disproved that immediately.
"Mr. Sukuna, please. I need to speak with you in private for a moment" a woman in her mid forties interrupted, her expression incredibly grave as she stepped between you and the huge man. She glanced at the other people lingering by the door. There was a teenage boy, maybe sixteen, who had the exact same pink hair as the tattooed man, his face streaked with tears. Beside him stood another boy with unruly, spiky black hair and a dull, stoic expression that couldn't quite hide the anxiety in his eyes. At the doctor's quiet command, they all slowly filed out into the hallway.
Left alone for a moment, you stared at the stark white walls, the untouched glass of water on the bedside table, and the crushing, dull monotony of the room.
When the door clicked open again, the female physician returned, holding a thick medical chart. The tattooed man followed closely behind her. He tried to offer you a small, reassuring smile, but it looked incredibly strained on his rugged face. His crimson eyes locked onto you, tracking every breath you took as if you might literally vanish into thin air if he dared to look away for a single second.
"Hello, y/n. I am Dr. Jennifer" the woman said kindly, stepping up to the mattress. "Do you know why you were brought here today?"
You frowned, looking between her and the towering man. "No."
The syllable was short and hollow. Beside the doctor, Sukuna’s entire frame stiffened. His jaw clenched so hard a muscle feathered violently beneath his tattoos, his knuckles turning white as he balled his hands into fists.
"Right. But you do remember your name?" she pressed gently.
"Yes... y/n I am Y/N." you answered firmly. You knew the name belonged to you, even if the history attached to it was completely gone.
"And do you know where you are right now?"
"A hospital?"
"Correct" Dr. Jennifer nodded, opening the document in her hands. "Look, I am going to explain exactly what happened, and I need you to listen very carefully, alright?" You gave a small, hesitant nod. "You were in a severe accident yesterday evening. You were walking home from the local market when a car veered off the road and hit you. It is a miracle you walked away with minor physical injuries, but the trauma to your head has caused a severe case of retrograde amnesia. Honestly, it's a surprise you even remember your name right now."
You let out a quiet hum, your eyes drifting down to your own hands resting on the thin blanket. That was when you noticed it a slender, platinum band set with a brilliant, flawlessly cut diamond resting securely on your left ring finger. It looked incredibly expensive, classy, and entirely foreign
So you were married.
"Y/n" Dr. Jennifer’s voice pulled you from your thoughts. You snapped your head up to look at her. "This man standing beside me... he is your husband."
The doctor tilted her head toward the giant. He was massive easily over six feet of raw, intimidating muscle, his tattooed face giving him a terrifying, dangerous aura. Your very first instinctual thought was that this man looked incredibly scary.
Sukuna didn't say a word. He just stood there, letting you analyze him, before he offered you a tiny, incredibly vulnerable nod. You tilted your head, staring into his intense red eyes, desperately searching for a single spark of familiarity. Did I really marry this giant?
"His name is Ryomen Sukuna, and he is going to take care of you" the doctor continued, closing her chart. "For the next few weeks, you need to let your brain rest, but you also need to gently stimulate it to try and regain those lost memories. Spending time in a familiar environment, in your own home with your husband, is going to be the best medicine for you."
You nodded mutely. You didn't exactly have a choice. You were being handed over to a complete stranger who happened to hold a legal claim to your entire life.
"Alright then. I wish you a safe and speedy recovery" Dr. Jennifer said with a final, empathetic smile before slipping out of the room.
The heavy silence that followed was suffocating. Sukuna cleared his throat roughly, taking a few slow, tentative steps toward the edge of your bed. He moved with an immense amount of caution, as if he genuinely believed a sudden movement might break you into pieces. He pulled up the small plastic chair, sinking into it.
"Hey" he said softly. Even in a whisper, his voice was incredibly manly, deep, and rough.
"Hello" you replied shortly, your eyes tracking his hands.
To your surprise, his large, scarred fingers were trembling slightly as he fidgeted with them, refusing to meet your eyes. When he finally looked up, you realized the piercing red of his irises was completely glossy, swimming with unshed tears.
"Yo... you're getting discharged today" he choked out, taking a deep, ragged breath as if the mere act of speaking was causing him physical pain. "I'm going to go sign the paperwork, and then I'm taking you to... our house. I'm going to do whatever the fuck it takes to help you remember, princess."
You stared at his rugged, tattooed face for a long moment before letting out a soft, distant hum.
An hour later, you were sitting in the passenger seat of a sleek, black Jeep, The man Sukuna kept his left hand firmly on the steering wheel while his eyes flicked toward you every sixty seconds, his intense gaze making a nervous flutter erupt in your stomach.
You stared out the window, watching the city buildings, sprawling neighborhoods, and vibrant green trees blur past. Intrigued by the warm breeze, you raised your hand, pressing your palm gently against the glass as if you wanted to touch the passing leaves. Instantly, the window smoothly rolled down. Startled, you turned your head to find Sukuna adjusting the master controls, his eyes locked onto you with an unreadable warmth.
"Can I ask you something-" you murmured softly.
"Yes." The answer came incredibly fast, almost desperate. He was hanging on your every word, practically begging for you to speak to him.
"How... how did we meet?" you asked, leaning your elbow on the door frame as the wind whipped through your hair.
"We met in high school" he answered quickly, navigating a sharp turn onto a quiet, "We've been married for seven years."
"High school?" You tilted your head, a faint smile touching your lips as you extended your hand just slightly out into the rushing air. "Were we friends back then?"
"Careful" he commanded firmly, though there was no real heat in his voice. You obediently pulled your hand back inside. A faint, nostalgic softness crept into his red eyes as he looked ahead. "Friends? no. You could say we didn't liked eachother each other when we first met. You thought I was a loud, arrogant mannerless jerk and I thought you were a stubborn, bossy brat."
He smoothly pulled the Jeep into a long brick driveway, coming to a stop in front of a breathtaking, modern two story house. It was painted a crisp, elegant white with sleek charcoal-grey accents, boasting massive, floor to ceiling windows that caught the afternoon sun.
"This is...our house" Sukuna murmured, his voice dropping an octave. "We've been living here for about four years."
He killed the engine, threw his door open, and practically sprinted around the hood of the car to open your door before you could even reach for the handle. He extended a massive, tattooed hand toward you, his palm open and waiting. You stared at his hand, your eyes traveling up the thick muscles of his forearm, before you deliberately stepped down onto the driveway without taking it.
Sukuna’s hand froze in mid-air. You watched his fingers slowly curl back into a fist before he pulled his arm away, a flash of pure, agonizing heartbreak crossing his features before he quickly masked it with a stoic expression.
As your feet hit the pavement, you looked up at the towering structure, desperately begging your brain to spark even a single ounce of familiarity. Nothing came. But as you turned around, you caught a glimpse of the man standing beside you. He was on the absolute verge of tears. His chest was tight, his jaw locked as he stared at you. You were his entire world, his beautiful wife, and yet you were looking at him like he was a total stranger. He suddenly felt a wave of profound hatred for every single time he had ever been mean or stubborn with you in the past, even in jest. He just wanted his girl back. His sweet innocent girl.
"The house is beautiful" you murmured gently, walking toward the porch.
'The house.' Not our house. The detached wording made Sukuna’s jaw clench painfully.
"Of course it is. I built the damn thing" he muttered, following closely behind you.
It was your exact dream house. Years ago, back when you were just broke college students dating in a cramped apartment, you had traced a clumsy design on a napkin, telling him you wanted a modern white house with endless windows, three bedrooms, and a kitchen large enough for the two of you to bake and slow-dance together while listening to old jazz records. Sukuna had kept that napkin. The moment he made his fortune, he hired a crew but did the vast majority of the heavy structural work with his own two hands. He had gifted you the keys on your third wedding anniversary, and he could still vividly remember the way you had wept tears of joy, throwing your arms around his neck and kissing him until you were both breathless. He wanted that smile back. He would give anything just to have you look at him the way you used to.
You stepped inside, ignoring the heavy emotion rolling off him. Sukuna quickly gathered your small hospital bags and followed you into the foyer, shutting the door behind him.
Your eyes immediately gravitated toward the kitchen. It was vast, open, and undeniably stunning, featuring a massive quartz island and a huge sliding glass door that opened directly into a manicured backyard garden. The entire layout felt strangely perfect.
"Let me show you... around" Sukuna offered quietly.
He spent the next half hour guiding you through the corridors of what was supposed to be your life. But as he showed you the grand master bedroompointing out the side of the bed where you used to curl into his chest every single night your face remained entirely blank. You felt a twinge of heavy guilt pooling in your stomach. He showed you the living room, drawing your attention to a collection of large, breathtaking canvas paintings hanging on the walls.
"You painted those" Sukuna noted, a faint trace of pride in his rough voice. "You're a brilliant artist, princess."
You blinked in genuine surprise, looking down at your hands. "I drew these?" You were suprised, you don't even remember touching a brush in your life. But this is your new life. New start.
"Yeah." Sukuna stopped at the edge of the hallway, looking down at you with completely bloodshot eyes. He hadn't slept a single second since the hospital called him about your accident. All he wanted to do was wrap his massive arms around your waist, pull you flush against his chest, and bury his face in your hair until the nightmare ended. But he couldn't. "Look... you can sleep in the guest bedroom down the hall, or you can take our bedroom and I'll stay in the guest room. Whatever makes you feel comfortable. I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable you."
"Okay" you hummed softly.
His heart broke a little more at the compliant, distant tone. "I'll go start on some dinner, and then I'll get your medication ready. If you need a single damn thing, you just call out for me, alright? Your clothes are all in the dresser, undergarments in the top drawer, pajamas in the second..."
You nodded, offering him a polite murmur of thanks before retreating into the guest room. You changed into a simple, comfortable t-shirt and sweats. A little while later, his deep voice echoed up the stairs, announcing that dinner was ready. You walked down to the dining room, sitting at the large table like a polite houseguest waiting to be served.
"Do you need help?" Sukuna asked, carefully sliding a steaming bowl of homemade chicken soup and a large spoon toward you. You shook your head, grasping the utensil and taking a quiet sip. He sat across from you, his own bowl entirely untouched as he just stared at your face. "Y/n... you really don't remember a single damn thing about me?"
His voice cracked completely on the last word, the raw vulnerability of a ruthless man exposed right in front of you. You looked up, meeting his glossy red eyes.
"No... I don't. I'm really sorry" you whispered genuinely.
He let out a slow nod, swallowing the lump in his throat as he forced himself to look away. "Don't apologize. It's not your fault."
"Do I... do I have parents? Or friends?" you asked, a sudden curiosity about your own forgotten life bubbling up.
"Yeah. You have parents. Your father—"
"Where are they?" you interrupted quickly, leaning forward. "Do they know I was in an accident? Why aren't they here?"
"They haven't spoken to you in over seven years. Not since the day you married me" Sukuna said, his tone dropping into something cold and bitter.
"Why?"
"Your family is rich as fuck. Extremely strict, arrogant aristocrats" Sukuna explained, his red eyes locking back onto yours. "They completely forbade you from seeing me because I was just a rough, tattooed bastard from the wrong side of the tracks with a criminal record and a unstable future. They told you that if you walked out that door with me, you’d be cut off permanently."
You stared at him, a sudden spark of heat flaring in your chest. "Well, that's so stupid of them. It sounds like a good thing we don't talk to them then."
The sheer, unyielding loyalty in your voice made Sukuna’s lips twitch, a genuine, heartbreaking smile threatening to break through his stoic mask. Even with a wiped memory, his sweet wife still possessed that exact same fiery, protective spirit.
"Yeah" he chuckled hoarsely, letting out a long sigh. "You have an incredible best friend named Shoko. You two are both doctors. you work in the exact same surgical unit at the city hospital. We have a ton of mutual friends we met back in our high school days. And those kids at the hospital? The pink-haired teenager is my nephew, Yuji, and the dark-haired one is Megumi, our friend's kid. They practically worship the ground you walk on, princess. You love those brats to death."
"Can I see them?" you asked, a genuine smile finally breaking across your face.
"Of course. Whenever you want." he promised, his eyes tracking the way your lips curved.
"How old are you, anyway?"
"I'm thirty two. You're thirty" Sukuna answered smoothly.
"Wow. So we're getting old," you teased gently.
Sukuna let out a sudden, rough snort, a wicked glint flashing in his eyes. "Old or not, woman... you're still completely breathtaking."
A deep, violent blush instantly stained your cheeks. You hadn't been around an attractive man or any man, for that matter in your conscious memory, and having this giant, dangerously handsome individual throw such a raw compliment at you made your heart do a chaotic somersault. You quickly looked down at your soup, missing the way his eyes softened at your reaction.
Over the next three weeks, the fragments of a life began to surround you, even if the puzzle pieces wouldn't quite lock into place.
Yuji and Megumi came over to the house constantly. Yuji spent hours enthusiastically teaching you how to make his signature protein shakes and weird jello molds, his loud laughter filling the quiet house, while Megumi sat nearby with his usual serious expression. But the moment you offered Megumi a soft, encouraging smile, his sharp features would instantly melt into something deeply tender. Yet, beneath their smiles, you could see the underlying sadness in their eyes every time you failed to remember a shared inside joke.
When Shoko finally visited, she broke down completely, throwing her arms around your neck and sobbing into your shoulder. It was a bizarre maybe stupid too, overwhelming feeling being fiercely loved by people you couldn't even remember and a heavy weight of guilt began to settle deep in your chest. You even met Toji, Megumi's father, a tall, stoic man who didn't say much but looked at you with a quiet, profound pity that made you realize just how broken your situation truly was.
And then, there was Sukuna.
Your husband spent every single day patiently guiding you through your routines, driving you past your old university, cooking your favorite meals, and trying every gentle trigger possible. But your mind remained a stubborn, locked vault. Sukuna was growing desperate furious and completely fucked up by the stagnation.
To make matters worse, just one week before the accident, you had playfully taken down every single one of your framed marriage photographs to rearrange the living room gallery wall, hiding them away in a "genius spot" that Sukuna had completely forgotten more like you didn't even told him. He had spent hours frantically tearing the house apart while you were out, searching for a single modern photo of the two of you together.
He was completely unraveling. He couldn't sleep. The woman he loved was sleeping in the room next to him, yet she looked at him with the polite, distant eyes of a stranger. He felt like a ghost haunting his own home. One evening, he sat alone in the dark kitchen and wept the third time he had ever cried in his entire life. The first had been tears of pure joy on your wedding day when he saw you walking the aisle. the second had been out of terror when the ER doctor told him a car had struck you. and now, he was crying simply because he missed his wife so damn much
His phone offered no help either. his gallery was filled entirely with candid photos he had taken of you you stepping out of the shower with a towel wrapped around your head, you laughing in a department store dressing room, or a hilarious picture of you biting into a raw lemon and making a completely disgusted face. He had no photos of the two of you together on his device, you had always been the one insisted on keeping the physical, printed albums. The only joint photos he could find were a few faded, wrinkled prints from your high school days, showing a younger, wilder version of himself wrapping his arms around you from behind while you laughed into the camera. When he showed them to you, you just stared at them blankly. It was killing him.
At the end of the third week, Sukuna was sitting heavily on the living room sofa, completely exhausted after another failed search through the house. He was mindlessly scrolling through the candid photos of you on his phone, a faint, melancholy smile touching his lips. His fingers traced your face on the photo, your bright smile. your bubbly laughter at his most unfunniset jokes, now all of that are vanished.
The heavy front door clicked open. Shoko had taken you out for an afternoon of shopping to get you out of the house, and she had just dropped you off at the curb. You stepped into the foyer, balancing several shopping bags in your arms.
Sukuna instantly locked his phone, shoving it into his pocket as he stood up, his red eyes drinking in the sight of you. "Had fun, princess?"
"Yes, I did. And thank you... for letting me use your credit card" you said softly, walking over to the coffee table and gently sliding the black card back toward him.
"You bought dresses?" he asked, pointing toward the bags. Honestly, he didn't give a single fuck about the money. you could have emptied his entire bank account and he would have gladly signed it away just to see you happy.
"I bought a few things..." You cleared your throat nervously, your fingers twisting together. "But... I actually bought something for you, too."
The words hit his chest like a physical blow. Even with her mind completely wiped, your beautiful, kind soul was still looking out for him. "Really?" he murmured, his voice thick with emotion. "Can I see it?"
You gave a small nod, walking over to the couch and tentatively sitting down right next to him. The close proximity made his heart start to hammer against his ribs like a trapped bird.
"I don't know if it's really your style, or if you'll even like it..." you mumbled bashfully, reaching into a small velvet pouch and pulling out a heavy, intricately braided silver bracelet studded with raw, brilliant red stones. "The color... it just immediately reminded me of you. Of your eyes."
You gently reached out, grasping his massive, calloused wrist to drape the metal over his skin. Oh God, if you only knew how fast his heart was racing beneath his chest. Your soft, warm fingers lingering against his pulse point was pure, exquisite torture.
"It looks incredible, Y/n. Thank you." he whispered, a genuine, breathtakingly soft smile spreading across his tattooed face as he looked down at the crimson stones.
"Thank you... for being so incredibly patient with me" you said quietly, looking up at him through your eyelashes.
Sukuna let out a long, ragged sigh, his hand hovering over yours for a fraction of a second before he pulled back. "I will always be patient with you, princess. Always."
You looked directly into his burning red eyes, and for the first time in three weeks, a warm, genuine smile broke across your face. Sukuna felt his breath hitch. he was entirely certain he was about to pass out from the sheer weight of his love for you.
"Can you stay right here for a bit? I need to go jump in the shower real quick. I'll be fast" he muttered hoarsely, his hand instinctively reaching out to gently ruffle your hair a comforting, domestic habit he had carefully maintained. You let out a soft chuckle at the gesture.
The moment his heavy footsteps disappeared up the stairs and the sound of running water echoed through the pipes, you stood up, wandering aimlessly around the quiet main floor. Your feet pulled you toward the small, cozy library nestled just off the living room. The walls were lined with hundreds of books some ancient leather volumes, others modern art textbooks. You pulled one off the shelf, flipping through the pages before sliding it back into place.
As you stepped back, your eyes caught a glimpse of something hidden on the absolute highest shelf, shoved far back into the shadows near the ceiling. It looked like a massive, heavy frame leaning flat against the back wall, obscured by a decorative ceramic vase. Intrigued, you stood on your tiptoes, stretching your arms up as high as they could go, blindly reaching for the top edge of the wooden frame.
Your fingers caught the molding, but as you pulled, the heavy ceramic vase shifted, losing its balance.
Crash!
The vase shattered against the hardwood floor with a deafening, echoing smash. Startled, you let out a sharp cry, stumbling backward as the massive hidden frame came tumbling down from the top shelf, striking the edge of the desk before landing flat on the rug. The backing of the frame split completely open upon impact, and a massive cascade of loose, glossy photographs erupted across the floor hundreds of them, scattering like playing cards across the room.
You gasped, placing a hand over your racing heart as you looked away from the broken pottery, your eyes drifting down to the sea of images covering the floor.
You froze.
Right at your feet lay a massive, professionally printed portrait. In the photograph, you were sitting securely on Sukuna's lap. You were wearing a breathtaking, flowing white lace wedding dress, holding a vibrant bouquet of sunflowers, and laughing so brightly your eyes were crinkled shut. Sukuna was clad in a sharp, tailored black tuxedo, his massive arms wrapped fiercely around your waist from behind, an absolutely massive, unbothered, triumphant grin plastered across his face.
Your breath hitched violently. You stumbled forward, falling to your knees as your hands frantically snatched up another photo from the pile. In this one, you were hoisted high up on Sukuna's broad shoulders at a crowded, flashing outdoor music festival; your mouth was wide open in a breathless scream of laughter, while his large hands were clamped firmly around your thighs to keep you safe, both of your faces painted with pure, unadulterated euphoria.
You grabbed a third photo, and the entire world stopped spinning. It was a quiet, intimate shot taken right in the backyard garden outside. You were sitting cross-legged on the green grass, wearing a simple summer dress with a soft, shy smile, while Sukuna’s heavy head was resting completely in your lap. He was looking up at you with an expression of such pure, unconditional adoration it made your soul ache, while your fingers were woven gently through his soft pink hair.
Pink hair.
The backyard.
The jazz music.
The napkin.
A sudden, violent explosion of memories ripped through the barriers of your mind. It wasn't a trickle; it was a catastrophic, roaring tidal wave. Seven years of laughter, fierce arguments, passionate late-night apologies, the smell of his skin, the exact weight of his body pressing you into the master mattress, the sound of his deep voice whispering "I've got you, princess" into the dark. It all hit your brain at once with the force of a freight train.
The sheer, overwhelming velocity of the memories made the room spin violently. Your vision blurred into a vortex of white light and crimson eyes. You let out a choked gasp, your strength entirely giving out as your body collapsed sideways onto the hardwood floor with a loud, heavy thud, the scattered photographs of your life pooling around your unconscious form.
When you finally opened your eyes again, the harsh glare of the ceiling lights was gone, replaced by the warm, dim ambiance of the living room. You were laying flat on the soft fabric of the sofa.
"She's waking up! Sukuna, look, her eyes are moving!" Yuji’s panicked, loud voice cut through the quiet room.
You blinked heavily, your vision slowly focusing. Megumi was standing right beside his cousin, his dark eyes wide and completely swimming with anxiety. Shoko was hovering over you, a small medical flashlight in her hand, her face pale as she checked your vitals.
But your heart didn't care about any of them. Your eyes frantically scanned the tight circle of people, instantly landing on the massive, tattooed man standing frozen at the foot of the couch. His pastel pink hair was damp from the shower, his chest heaving under a plain black t-shirt, and his face was a mask of pure, absolute terror.
As your eyes met his, a single, heavy tear spilled over your eyelid, tracing a hot path down your cheek. The vast, terrifying void in your mind was completely gone, replaced by the roaring, beautiful fire of your reality.
"Ryo..." you choked out, your voice a broken, breathless sob.
Sukuna froze, his entire frame visibly violently shuddering at the sound of the nickname the private, intimate name only you were ever allowed to call him.
Before anyone else could even blink, you threw yourself forward off the sofa cushions, completely ignoring the dull ache in your muscles. You lunged straight into his space, your arms wrapping fiercely around his massive neck. You buried your face in the crook of his collarbone, gripping the fabric of his shirt with a desperate, white-knuckled intensity as you pressed a hard, crying kiss directly against his tattooed jaw.
"I remember... us" you sobbed violently into his skin, your entire body trembling as the tears flowed freely. "I remember everything, Ryo... I remember you."
Sukuna’s mind completely blanked. For a single, breathless second, he couldn't even process the words. And then, a raw, ragged sound escaped his throat a mixture of a sob and a laugh. His massive, powerful arms came crashing down around your frame, pulling you so close against his chest you could barely breathe, lifting your knees entirely off the floor as he buried his face into the crook of your neck.
And there, in the middle of his living room, surrounded by his family and the scattered photographs of your love, Ryomen Sukuna closed his eyes and wept for the fourth time in his life.
"I fucking love you" he whispers
