sukuna who swears he would never get married, making this statement even when he was a little kid to his dad and wanting to stay far far away from girls because they were 'gross'
growing into his teens he viewed anything romantic with disgust and couldn't sit through a film, sitcom or advert which displayed any type of romance.
attending college he had his hook ups here and there and it was more than obvious that sukuna ryomen didn't do relationships whatsoever, it was strictly sex and he kept it as that, distancing himself away from anyone who began to show even the littlest emotions towards him
any time people talked about their future around him such as what cars they wanted, what type of house they would like, how many kids and when they would get married, sukuna would always remain quiet never being able to picture that sort of life of him.
being domestic? creating a safe and loving home?
the word husband and marriage barely appealed to him and he would have to try his hardest to even imagine himself making that type of commitment.
at least he used to imagine it until his world was changed upside down and it suddenly became real.
in almost a blink of an eye sukuna found himself in a relationship. long term and serious. suddenly all his thoughts and actions were occupied with nothing but you.
yes, it was scary at first and his coping mechanism was to push you away. but fortunately you know sukuna like the back of your hand and unlike everything else in his life, you stayed.
you stayed to the point where he enjoys coming home early to see you.
you stayed to the point where he likes to sleep in on the weekends, the warm sun rising to greet your bodies wrapped up in the sheets.
you stayed to the point where he tries his hardest to provide for you, making dinner, buying flowers just because or getting that necklace you were searching up in secret online.
you stayed to the point where he introduced you to his family and found out that you fit in perfectly, both his brother and his nephew warming up to you almost immediately.
you stayed to the point where he went out and bought an expensive ass ring, rare in its kind and hid it in the bottom storage cabinet, waiting for the right moment to pop the question.
would you stay with him for the rest of your life?
now he stands in the mirror, all dressed up in a suit. a flower poking out of his chest pocket - this is the smartest he has ever looked in his life. he's already dealt with torment from his father about the gel in his hair and keeping his shirt tucked in.
sukuna would never have anticipated that he would make it to his own wedding day.
he's nervous for some reason, mentally running over his own vows, the palms of his hands sweaty as he practices putting the ring on your finger.
'I'll be right there with you.' you promised a week ago after your rehearsal. you knew how much he hates the public eye on him much less when he's confessing his love out loud to you.
sukuna takes an inhale and judges his own appearance for the nth time, he's scrutinising himself, deep in his thoughts about whether he should have gone for a grey suit instead.
it's only when he feels a tap on his shoulder that he's stirred out of his thoughts.
sukuna turns to find you behind him, dressed in your own wedding attire with a bouquet of your favourite flowers in hand.
'isn't it bad luck for a groom to see his bride?' he frowns.
you almost let out a snort, 'is this the sukuna ryomen believing in superstitions.'
'whatever brat.' he mumbles before his tone turns serious, meeting your eyes. 'you look...beautiful.'
'thank you future husband.'
sukuna's lips twitch into a grin at the name.
he guesses it has a nice ring to it.
a reminder that you chose to stay with him, wanting nothing more to spend the rest of your life with him.
yeah, maybe he was cut out for this married life after all.
