Better off

8

That day when Y/n showed Sukuna how her technique truly worked he felt his attitude changing. His cold exterior was melting, maybe not completely but it made way for
Y/n to understand him a little bit more.

It was a cool evening and Y/n was sitting on the roof again watching the sunset. A beautiful view really and all that pent up tension in her body was easing out,

"I've been searching for you" a voice says and Y/ns gaze meets Sukunas, it seemed like he bought something with him, bottles actually.

"What you got there?"

"Sake"

"It's been a while since I've drank" she taps her chin,

"Who said I'm sharing" he had that signature smug look on his face, Y/n looked away annoyed and embarrassed,

"But...you can have one own bottle" he hands one to her,

"Thank you"

They sat back watching the stars and tipping the bottles to their mouths, they didn't know when the conversation drifted off to sluggish blabbering, especially for Y/n. She'd been so overwhelmed with all the happenings, from being so close to the king of curses, to the whole fear of the dungeons and even when she saw the prisoner underneath the shrine.

She missed every one back home.

All her frustrations she drowned with alcohol which she didn't do often, only when Shoko had forced her to join her once or twice had she swallowed her troubles with Sake.

"You know...you're not that much of a bastard" she pouts and turns to look at Sukuna, who sat there with wide eyes.

Alcohol didn't seem to affect him much, but it still left a mark,
"Really?" He plays along,

"Yeah, mhm, definitely not that much of the jerk I thought you'd be... you, you're my friend now" she casually pats his arm,

"I don't need friends"

"I'm not giving you an opt- aw man" she pauses mid sentence and looks at her robes, a fresh patch of spilled drink bloomed on the cloth.

"Alright you're too drunk, get up" Sukuna huffs and scoops her up in his arms,

"What is it with you carrying me around, I can walk you know" she spouts a bunch of other random words, vision blinking off and Sukuna looking at her as she feels soft sheets under her.

"I don't wanna sleeeeep"

"Gosh you're such a child" Sukuna was surprised to see this side of her and he found it a little...cute,
"She's just a brat, nothing more" he reminds himself,

"Is that a problem?" She flips him off and pulls something out of his wardrobe,

"How dar-"

"I'm taking this thank you"

By now it was obvious she had no control over her senses because she couldn't remember what happened next.

——————————————————

The next morning Y/n curled into the blanket, breathing heavily and stretching, eyes slowly opening and her head felt heavy. She was lying on her back, slowly she turned to her side and she nearly gasped out loud, Sukuna was sitting shirtless and her body was covered with robes, much MUCH larger than her size.

"Morning" he said with raised eyebrows,

"No...no no no this can't be happening" Y/n sat up straight only to regret it and sink back into the sheets as her head throbbed,

"I-there's no way, no way in hell this happened" she kept mumbling trying to get ahold of herself,

"What's wrong with you?" Sukuna looked at her with a perplexed expression,

"Don't act like you don't know, it's pretty obvious" she spoke with a distraught expression,

"What is?"

"We shared the same bed... and I think you know what that means" she pointed at her Kimono tossed onto the floor,

He grinned and ran a hand through his hair,

"We didn't do anything"

"What?"

"All you did was pass out after your threw your clothes off and put on my robes"

Y/ns face burned with embarrassment, her stomach churned and she couldn't look him in the eyes,

"Is that all?" She questioned,

"Yes, if we had done anything you would definitely know"  Y/n neared Sukuna and grabbed his hand, swiftly scanning through lasts nights memories before he realised she was using her technique on him.

He wasn't lying and it was so humiliating to see herself drunk, but at least it was over.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You wouldn't be able to walk around like that" he said with a cocky tone,

She gave him a look of disgust before strolling out of there and was greeted by Suki and Uraume who wore smug looks,

"So..." Suki helped Y/n with her new robes after she'd bathed,

"Hm?"

"Was it...good?"

"What was?"

"Last night"

By now Uraume was also under the impression that Sukuna and Y/n had shared an intimate night,

"I'm telling you both the truth, nothing happened"

"But you wish something did" Suki laughed and Y/n rolled her eyes,

Secretly...maybe she did want something to happen.

"No" she scolded herself, there's nothing between us.

It had been days since she'd contacted anyone back home.

She wondered if anyone would still be concerned that she was missing or did they think it fine to move on. She didn't blame them but the thought lingered on her mind more often than she hoped it would.

Sorry for the late updates, classes and assignments are more time consuming than I hoped it to be :(
