Sukuna's Offering | Sukuna x (f)Reader

| Anxiety |

Cione was stil asleep beside you, his deep breaths would normally be calming but instead they made the anxiety coursing through you worse. As you rolled over to face away from him you felt his arm wrap around you. "Cione?" You waited for a response that never came, only his continued breathing answered. Letting out a sigh you pulled the blanket over you more hoping it would hide you from the guilt. Nuzzling into your bed you couldn't ignore how warm he was and it only made the shame worse as the pit in your stomach deepened with every passing thought.

Sukuna knows what happened... but he didn't say anything to stop it... is he even mad?.. he probably doesn't care.. it's not like I mean anything to him anyway.. but what if he is mad... he's definitely fuming in anger... he'll kill us both I'm sure... he's going to kill us both eventually anyways though...

"Stop overthinking and go to sleep" a raspy voice interrupted you, pulling you out of the rabbit hole you were quickly falling down. "I thought you were asleep?" The room became silent again making you annoyed. In agitation you rolled over and sat up, grabbing your pillow in the process. "What's your problem?!" You slammed your pillow down hitting Cione in the face. "What the hell are you talking about?" His voice was groggy as his hand came up blocking you from landing another hit. The raspiness of his voice was different though, nothing like the voice from earlier. Looking at Cione you were slowly connecting the dots as he sat up looking at you drowsily.

"You're not having night terrors like Lycoris are you?" He seemed concerned until you shook your head no and laid back down. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up" his eyebrow raised as he looked at you in disbelief. You quickly rolled over to face away from him but he leaned over top of you, his hands pinning you under him "you were beating me in the head with your pillow.. bullshit you didn't mean to wake me up". Your cheeks lit up bright red not knowing if you should share with Cione or not, nothing was coming to mind as an excuse though making you blurt out what was on your mind even though it scared you to your core.

"We shouldn't have slept together.." you made sure your eyes stayed averted from his "he knows everything that happens in the temple..". Cione's mood didn't shift and neither did he as he still hovered above you, you were feeling what you thought was pressure until he began laughing. It filled you with anger making you grabbed your pillow and landed a blow against Cione's head once again. Cione just continued to laugh before sitting up and pulling the pillow from your hands "you don't think I'm that dumb do you? I talked to him before I showed up here, he knew before it even happened". In shock your jaw hung open as you tried to comprehend what Cione had just told you but you couldn't wrap your mind around it. Tossing your pillow to the side Cione wrapped his arms around you and pulled you into him "just get some sleep, we can talk in the morning".

~The Next Morning~

"Get your ass up and tell me what's going on!" Using your feet you pressed them against Cione's back before giving one good push to shove him off your bed. "Ughh.., you have no patience.." groaning he laid on the floor without moving "I wasn't joking when I said you remind me of Ivana. It's brought back a lot of emotions I thought I buried, Sukuna picked up on them quickly. Frankly you twos little show didn't help either.. it's all I thought about for to long". Sitting on the edge of the bed you stared at him still laying on the floor "so he gave you permission?" He hummed in agreement before rolling over to look up at you "he didn't tell you at all?"

You shook your head no which brought a devilish smirk to Cione's face "so... you were willing to sleep with me without getting permission from Sukuna?" Standing up you stepped over him and began picking his clothes up from the floor, as you turned back around you threw them at him with a blank expression on your face "don't be a smug bastard.. get dressed and get out". Rage was starting to set in, not at Cione or Sukuna but at yourself. You pulled your clothes on not looking back once at Cione who you could tell was waiting for you to say anything. He stood by your door for a minute after getting dressed hoping that the extra time was all you needed but you remained silent.

The door creaked open and then clicked shut, their was a brief pause before you finally heard his foot steps leaving down the hall. Now alone you finally broke, knowing exactly what had happened more anxiety flooded your veins. "This was a test wasn't it?" Their was a long pause with no response and that only made you more frustrated "was it?!" "You're forgetting your place" Sukuna finally responded but he seemed cold and distant, almost as if you were bothering him. "Let me remind you. You're my property, my toy, I can lend you out to whoever I want whenever I want. I don't need someone who talks back so if you want to continue being useful to me, shut your mouth and remember what you agreed to".

His words stung more then usual, as you laid back on your bed your anger and frustration faded into embarrassment. I'm getting attached to him... what the hell is wrong with me, your thoughts continued to torture you making you miss the light knocking on your door. Staring at the ceiling you felt completely numb and lost until a small voice startled you. "Minx.. are you ok?" Lycoris' soft voice pulled your attention "I brought you breakfast, Cione said you weren't feeling well. You didn't respond when I knocked either.. it made me worried". Sitting up you rubbed the small tears that had begun to form away before turning to look at her "I'm sorry.. I must've started falling asleep again".

"It's ok, here eat this. What's wrong if you don't mind me asking.. do you have a fever? Stomach ache?" Her voice was so soothing and each word was so full of care and concern "I'm just anxious is all". Her eyes lit up as a big smile formed on her face "is that all? That's an easy fix, I'll be right back!" She quickly turned and ran from your room. As you sat in bed you took in a deep breath letting the smell from the plate of food set in, it made your mouth water and your stomach growl. Pulling it onto your lap you took a small bite, her food really is the best..
