All you could do was stare blankly at the ceiling. You were currently entangled in your soft sheets with your legs, arms, and head patched up. Itadori had carried you to safety and Mei found out what happened.

You sighed feeling a bit guilty, "Itadori, I can walk. You don't need to carry me..I must be heavy."

The pink haired male shook his head and tightened his grip on your legs. "It's fine, (Y/n). Besides, I can lift up to 800." He'd say as if that was a completely normal thing. Before you could even respond you heard mei and Akira rushing over to you. "I'm sorry, but remove your hands from the offering or else-" Akira started, only to stop talking upon seeing your bleeding forehead and scratched up hands. "Oh gosh...the offering was injured." Mei would say before covering her mouth. She looked at Akira and took out her dagger, "I'll end your life quickly and painlessly. Then, I'll stab myself in the throat." She'd say with a determined look and Akira nodded before placing her tiny hands together, in front of her chest.

"Hey-!" You'd start, about to question and scold the girls until a migraine caused you to wince. Itadori heard your heavy sigh and spoke. "I know Sukuna would kill us all if he found out. But something bad just happened and I need to get (Y/n) to her room. Try not to murder yourselves, will you?!"

Mei would nod and bow, "allow me to get the medical kit."

"And i shall get new clothing for you." Akira would bow as well before they both parted ways to do their jobs.

"Those kids.." he'd shake his head before continuing his walk to your room.

"How'd you even find out about the cellar?" Itadori would question and you decided to just tell him straight up. It's not like keeping information from him would be any good. "Gojo told me. He even dropped me off to the cellar."

Man, you really began to dislike that pretty boy.

After answering, Itadori didn't ask another thing. He just...stayed quiet.

You preferred it that way. You felt like crying, and every time you had to speak, it took everything in you to keep away the tears that threatened to fall.

"Whatever." You grumbled before turning in your bed. Being through all this bizarre shit really made you exhausted. All you wanted to do was see Sukuna. Have his low piercing gaze focused on you. His long slender hands on your body-

Holy sugar honey ice tea. The hell was going through your mind?!

Perhaps being through all this shit has drained your sanity. With a heavy sigh, you pushed yourself out of bed. You had to visit Sukuna anyways. First, you had to explain why you lied to him about the dinner. Second, you had to ask him not to kill anyone or punish people over you getting hurt. Again, not like he cares about you. It's just that the idea of someone going against his orders would cause him to do so.

That's right! He doesn't even like you! Why did you even think of him like that?

And with that, you slid your door open, ready to confront him.

——-☆︎★︎☆︎——-

You were walking over to the entrance room. Sukuna was probably sitting on his throne talking to one of the many people held hostage at this palace.

But..you were wrong.

In fact, you saw Sukuna walk out of the entrance room and approach you. It was as if he could hear your footsteps all the way from the throne room. You stopped walking in surprise and stared as Sukuna grew closer. "What? Never expected me to come to you as well?" Sukuna would say, his eyes closed and hands in his pant pockets. "Mm, can't say I blame you." Sukuna would then stop talking as he stood about four feet away from you. "It is quite surprising," you'd nod, "I won't take up much of your time. I'm only here for a reason."

"Do you only need a reason to come and find me?" Sukuna would ask and you averted your gaze. Truth be told, there were times you wanted to visit him just to get a glimpse of his handsome face. If his personality was any different in the start you would've probably fell for him quickly.

"I won't answer that." You composed yourself and returned your gaze to him. But his intense, crimson gaze didn't return to your (e/c) eyes. Sukuna seemed to analyze your arms; where the bandages were, how tight they seemed, before his gaze would shift to the side of your head which was bandaged up. Sukuna's stares began to make you feel flustered as you went to turn and get him out your sight, but with ease, he grabbed your wrist and pulled you closer to him. "Hey-!" You said, startled, to which Sukuna then placed an arm around your waist. His touch made you want to melt—he was being uncharacteristically gentle. "Shut up." Was all he said as he continued to stare at your bandaged arm.

"It..It feels weird when you examine a part of me so closely.." you admitted, soon finding warmth and relaxation as you leaned against his toned chest. You could almost hear him smirking as he hummed deeply before speaking: "I've already touched your body before. Made you lust for me. I don't see why you're still embarrassed." Your eyes widened as you grew tense at his words, your cheeks feeling warm as embarrassment began to fill you even more. "D-Don't say that!" You yelled but he easily ignored you. He let go and took a step back, soon walking away. Using two of his long slender fingers to signal for you to follow him, you quickly did so. Though it took a lot to calm down your beating heart..

"Those bandages aren't going to be tight enough. They have a higher chance of slipping up and your wounds won't heal quickly. So, I'm assuming Mei patched you up?" Sukuna would question after giving off some information. One thing you noticed is that Sukuna only referred to Itadori and Akira as brats. He's never called Mei a brat, and if anything, sometimes he seems like a tough love father to the girl. "She did. I think she's rather skilled," you'd compliment with a small smile on your face. Sukuna didn't carry on the topic—and decided to change it. "I hope you don't think you're going to get away with not telling me what happened. Actually..go ahead. Hope. It'll be amusing to see that devastated expression afterwards."

Instead of getting agitated with his answer, you began to play along. You've been through a lot..you deserve to have a little fun. "Didn't think you liked seeing my expressions that much. My, my! Is the big king falling for a mere village girl?" You snickered at your response before realizing the doom you caused yourself. Sukuna had stopped walking and didn't even turn to face you. Maybe..maybe you should run while you still can? Nah, fuck it. You've been through enough stuff already. You could die right now and only shrug your shoulders in the afterlife. The only thing having to say about it would be: "damn. That's crazy."

Sukuna turned around and leaned down, his hand holding your face as he always did. "But this 'mere' village girl is my offering." All you could do was stare into his eyes. You quickly looked down at his hand, his sharp nails poking your cheek. His gaze was too intense for comfort.

He removed his hand and continued to walk forward. "Let's go to my room. I'll have a proper servant patch you up and then we'll talk."

He didn't even deny not falling for you. But he also didn't entertain the thought. Well..he kinda did? Your heart was beating sickeningly fast.

Man, today was going to be interesting, huh?

[BEHIND THE SCENES]

"What if..they got married?" Nobara would mumble and toge spit out his drink.

"What's that reaction? Hmph, while I'll admit it's strange, (Y/n) has barley visited the village. And when she did- SHE DIDNT COME SEE US? Maybe because she's in...love?" Nobara clasped her hands together and sighed. Toge just sat there..processing shit.

"Tuna."

"You're right, we haven't heard from Megumi in a while. How rude! We make him a nice outfit to confess to (y/n), and he never even comes back to thanks us!" Nobara would comment and toge shrugged his shoulders before continuing to organize the cloths.

Sometimes I look in the mirror and say:
"Damn. You sexy bitch. Carful, might kill a person when you step outside"

But then I wake up

And I look in the mirror.
