βwhereβs your little friend, patchy?β *kuna & orion ok π
FUCK. SERVES HIM RIGHT for taking a goddamn smoke break alone. orion hears @chaoslulled before he sees him β footsteps rounding the corner, a shock of pale pink in his periphery, and a familiar voice that makes his stomach drop.
last time he saw ryomen sukuna, the guy was bleeding out on the ground with a hole in his stomach put there by none other than the unseen's resident mad dog. orion can't assume he'd be talking about anyone else β he's wondered, with an idle but inactionable nervousness (it's not as if he can ask seph, ha), whether sukuna would come back for revenge. orion's heard of his ruthlessness, his monstrosity. the cursed souls' weapon of mass destruction.
no wonder he got paired with seph. this... new version of seph, the one that came back after two years gone with something monstrous awoken in them. when he gazes down at sukuna now, that look in his eyes is all too familiar.
he stiffens, presses his back against the building's outer wall. but the fear is only a flicker across his face, masked over quickly enough. orion has looked monsters in the eye before. he works under one every day. he sighs, a soft, exhausted sound. β i dunno if the blood loss fucked up your brain or if we're thinking about two different people, but little is not the word i'd use to describe hector. if you're looking for revenge, forget it. he'll kill your ass without breaking a sweat. β
a pause; he takes a drag on his cigarette, turns his head to exhale so as not to blow smoke in sukuna's face. he's not that rude. a furrow draws between his brows, in the exact way it does when seph is concerned about something. β look, i'm sorry he shot you. but going after him will only fuck things up for everyone involved. pissing off the tower is a bad idea. β
