. . . . .

The little dots of sunlight that made it through the leaves of the trees tickled your nose, waking you up. Upon opening your eyes, you noticed Sukuna looking up to the treetops, seemingly lost in thought. After all, he didn't notice you woke up yet.This gave you a chance to take a closer look at him. 

His sandy blonde locks were short, but still long enough to be tousled by the wind. His eyes, you noticed now, were a nice dark green. They reminded you of emeralds, or the safety of the forest. His jaw was... well, he looked quite handsome. 

"Like what you see?" You jumped when you heard his voice. Coming back to reality you noticed that he was looking at you now, meaning he saw you staring. You flushed and made up an excuse: "Sorry, I'm just tired is all! I tend to daydream..." you chuckled nervously, swallowing, and looking forward."Yeah, whatever you say, Y/N" 

You glanced back at him. His eyes were closed now. He seemed so relaxed. How did he manage that? Alright, he wasn't a wanted criminal, but still... You'd be lying if you said you weren't at least a tiny bit envious of him for that ability. 

You stood up, "Hey, I'm going to leave now..." He opened one eye to look at you and nodded. "Alright, have fun out there. And try not to die, yeah?"Standing there for a second, you wondered what he meant by that. Did he want to see you again, or was it a warning? Why did he care? 

You were intrigued, to say the least, so you decided to ask him if he wanted to travel with you. "I mean, only if you want to... It gets quite lonely, and you seem like nice company. Also, what you said yesterday kind of irritated me and now I want to spar with you.""Is that so?" He asked, amusement obvious in his voice. He stood up and turned the opposite direction. 

"You can come with me, 'if you want to'." He looked over his shoulder to see your reaction, a smug grin on his face. "Isn't that basically the same though?" you asked, confused by his statement. "It's not," he said, "If I follow you, you're telling me where to go, but if you join me, I get to decide our route." 

You didn't know what you looked like, but apparently your reaction amused him, because he started to laugh."Oi! What's so funny?" You huffed in embarrassment. "Ah, nothing, I apologize" he waved his hand to dismiss his actions, and then completely turned to face you. "So? You want to travel with me?" He reached his hand out for you to grab.You looked at it, thinking. 'I mean, I don't have a plan where to go anyways, and I suggested we travel together, so why not?

Taking his hand, you smiled up at him. "Alright. I'll travel with you""Great, now come on. I'm hungry" and with that, he took off. 

. . . . .

After several months of traveling with Sukuna, you learned a lot about him. How he was a runaway from his hometown, or how he got out of sticky situations, like theft. You also told him about your past, and he was surprisingly empathetic about it.Now you were on your way to a village, that should supply you with some food. 

 "If I remember correctly, this path should lead us to the place..." he mumbled. You looked at the ground. You were still uncomfortable every time you'd enter a village.You feared the people would somehow recognize you and attack both you and Sukuna, knowing he was a friend of yours.
