Show me (Ryomen Sukuna x Reader)

Preposterous ~ Ch41

3rd Point Of View

(Y/n) gasped at the sound of Sukuna's voice, twirling around to face the man who was somehow directly behind her. His hand was still leaning on her head, now using it as an advantage to direct her head up to look at him.
"My lord!" The girl mumbled with suprise, her heartbeat calming down almost immediately. Her fear dissipated the moment she looked up into his criminal eyes. She was safe now.

"Answer me, brat." Sukuna growled, "I asked you to explain what the hell I just walked in on." (Y/n) gulped, her eyes flickering to the cook who she could see trembling in her peripheral vision. If she told Sukuna what it was the cook was doing, Sukuna may kill him out of anger. But because of Sukuna's pact with Uraume, he could lose his jujutsu of he killed a staff member without thinking.

"N-nothing, my Lord." (Y/n) lied, "We were just having a conversation." Sukuna's brow raised in complete doubt at (Y/n)'s obvious lie, his eyes then looking over to the cook who looked more pale by each passing second.
"Is that so?" Sukuna asked the man infront of him. Honestly, he didn't recognise this man in the slightest. But consider that he was wearing a chef's uniform and had access to the kitchen, he could only assume this man was the cook.

The cook nodded with pure terror, shaking against the wall he pressed that he stumbled against.
"Y-yes, my King. J-just a conversation!" The man stammered with a gulp.
"Oh? Then would you like to explain to me the reason to why she was so terrified?" Sukuna asked casually as he stepped infront of (Y/n) slowly making him was to the cook, step by step, intimidatingly.

"And do not try to deny her fear because I so vividly felt it clawing down my own throat." Sukuna said lowly. The cook has no excuses. He didn't know what to say or what kind of lie could possibly save him now- especially when he was well aware that Sukuna knew what had just happened here. Now, he could do nothing but plead of his life.
"Spare me, my Lord!" The cook cried out, tears running down his cheeks as he knees gave out beneath him, forcing him to the floor.

Sukuna hissed angrily, before reaching out and grabbing the cook by his neck. He lifted him up onto the air, his nails digging into his skin mercilessly. The cook gasped, his legs flailing around in the air as he he choked for air.
"You saw her kimono, yes?" Sukuna growled angrily, making the cook nod fearfully.
"Y-yes, my lord!" The man choked.
"And the flowers in her hair too?" Sukuna asked.

"Yes!" The cook gasped, his face turning icy blue as the man fought for the right to breathe oxygen.
"And did Uraume not spend all morning briefing you imbeciles on her importance?" Sukuna hissed.
"She did, my King!" The man croaked, making Sukuna sneer.
"And so then you proceeded to ignore my new set of rules at the first chance you got!" Sukuna growled, pressing the man against the wall.

"She was asking for something preposterous, my Lord! I was just informing her that I'd need something in return for me to consider!" The cook croaked out, "You misunderstand! I'd just meant I'd need a few gold coins for my troubles- nothing of ill nature!" Sukuna scoffed, already knowing it was a lie. (Y/n) wouldn't have felt that kind of fear if he simply only wanted money. But instead of calling him out of his lie, Sukuna was interested in something else that he spoke of.

"Oh? And what was it that she asked for?" Sukuna asked with a curious raised brow.
"She had asked me to cook you dinner- and, my lord, I immediately informed her that you only eat a meal when you desire to! It was completely out of line for her to suggest when you would take your meals!" The cook argued. Sukuna went quiet for a mere moment before he couldn't help but chuckle darkly.
"I see...well allow me to clear your confusion and shed some light on the matter for you." Sukuna began to say while chuckling,

"If the brat comes in here and tells you to cook me some dinner... then make me some damned dinner."
