As If I'd Ever Lie To You

5. wait, so we arent actually strangers?

Soon the day was over and we all pulled up at the cafe. We were sitting together and snickering. All of us three making stupid jokes. Junpei and Maki-San were with us too this time. Maki-San's family actually owned this place and they needed staff to help around, I was actually considering to help, because I do need a job. I'd talk to maki-san about the same soon enough.

After a while, I finally got home. I spotted sukuna at the balcony in his room. I went to the balcony to greet sukuna and to know him better. But to my surprise I saw sukuna smoking.
"Hey." I greeted.
"Hey megumi, how was uni?" He asked, his tone soft as ever.
"It was good, I didn't know you smoked." I said to him as I looked outside the balcony for the view and mostly to avoid eye contact.
"I do smoke, yeah. I drink aswell. And vape." He said.
"Drugs?"
"No."
"Hm."
"You seem like you want to say something."
"I think if I say that you will get angry at me."
"I won't baby, say it."
"I..I don't like people who smoke, drink and do such things.."
"So you want me to stop?"
"I mean, I'd love it if you do.. but I won't force you or any-" before I could finish, sukuna threw his cigarette in the bin, along with the entire pack he had.
"URAUME." sukuna called for him and uraume came that instant.
"Yes, sukuna sama?"
"Get rid of all the vapes, cigarettes and alcohol we have here."
"Yes ofcourse." And with that uraume left.
"Sukuna i-"
"Hm?"
"You really didn't have to do that.."
"Oh come on megumi, at this point, anything you wish, is my command."
"Whats your full name?"
"Ryomen sukuna."
"Age?"
"25."
"Your birthday?"
"March 20th." (He doesn't have a bday, so I gave him and yuji the same bday.)
"Whats your job?"
"I own a designer clothing brand."
"Ooh, which one?"
" xxxxx xxx"
"Oh! That's pretty cool! I love their designs."
"I'm glad you like em, I'll get them to customise clothes for you if you'd like."
"Aw. Where are your parents?"
"They're not in Tokyo, they're in kyoto."
"Any siblings?"
"Yeah, a brother named yuji, my dad gave him to grandpa when he was young, I never met him after."
"Wait what. Yuji?"
"Yeah, Yuji Sukuna?"
"Oh, I know a yuji itadori, he looks similar to you."
"My mom's last name is itadori..."
"..."
"Show me his picture." I show him my best friends photo.
"Okay, he's my brother." Sukuna said.
"Wait, for real?" I asked again, not believing what he said.
"Yeah. He's my bro."
"For real for real??"
"Yes baby."
"HE'S MY BEST FRIEND."
"Shut up, no way?!"
"Yes! He is! Oh my gosh."
"So I'm no stranger to you anymore, hm?~"
"I guess not!" I said, not realising how close I got to him in this conversation. He took me by my hands and pinned me to the near wall.
"Sukuna.." I whispered. I wanted to know him more, I wanted to sit down and talk with him, for so long! If he's going to be my future husband, I must know him, properly.

"Hey.. I won't do anything bad to you. Don't be scared my blessing." Sukuna reassured me as he took me in his warm embrace.
"Thank you, sukuna."
"Ofcourse, 'gumi."
"Gumi?"
"Gumi."
"Pfft, that's a cute nickname."
"Thanks, I try~"
I wrap my arms around sukuna, returning the hug.
"I want to talk to you, about alot of things." I said as I burried my head in his chest.
"I'll listen to everything you have to say, but just listen to one thing I want to say." Sukuna said sheepishly.
"Hah? What is it?"
"The bento box you made for me was delicious, I'd love it if I had it everyday!" Sukuna practically beamed at me. I was wondering how this man is so scary but also a ball of sunshine in front of me.
"Ofcourse, I'll make you a bento box every morning...'kuna." I said the last part very slowly, almost inaudible.
"I have always loved you and will continue loving you because what the fuck, I fall in love with you deeper every second." Sukuna said as he hugged me tighter.
"Kuna?"
"Yes, 'kuna, I'm your 'kuna, call me 'kuna from now on, or anything you want, I like everything you call me."
"Ryomen?"
"Do you wish for me to melt off?" Sukuna said as he blushed hard, he was so red, I couldn't resist pinching his cheeks, so I did and he let me.
"Now Now ryomen! Let's go to your bedroom." I said to him.
"Okay my gumi." He said as he hugged me hard once again and picked me up, it was quiet common for sukuna to pick me up now, so there was no point in whining. He lead us both to the bedroom and sat me down on the bed, he sat beside me and then, he took me on his lap.

"So, what does my baby want to talk about?" He asked me.
"Are we really gonna get married..?"
"Mhm, we are, when you are ready."
"What if I don't want to marry you?"
"..."
"What then?"
"I don't want to let go of you, but.. for your happiness, I will let go."
"Thank you sukuna, also, I wanted to start working in a part time job."
"Oh? Why?"
"To be independent."
"I can always give you money, but sure, you can work."
"I know, and also, what about this house, you own it?"
"Mhm, i own this house, the 7 cars and all the furniture I have completely, I have bought it and paid all the loans." Sukuna said as he ruffled my hair.
"You will never ever hurt me.. right?"
"Yes darling, hold on, give me your phone." Sukuna requests and I hand him my phone.

He turns on the voice recorder and records,

"Today, I ryomen sukuna, vow, that I will never hurt my lover, fushiguro megumi, verbally or physically, I will show him my love and care for him and treat him as he deserves. I will never take away his freedom and always prioritise him and his needs. I will never be his jail, I will be his sanctuary. I will love him, and only him, till eternity."

He then took a paper and a pen from the night stand, and wrote those exact words on the paper and signed it and made me sign it aswell. Oh god, how serious He was for me. I will be marrying this man, by my will, not because of Toji. How he cares, he's just the best, I think I am starting to like him, but I need more time.

I couldn't help but tear up. Noone in my life, has ever shown this much love to me. "Ryomen.." I said as tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Hey hey, don't cry love." He tried to comfort me. This time, I willingly got into his arms, and he embraced me, he placed a chaste kiss on my temple which made me feel all fuzzy inside. And, I silently let out happy tears as he comforted me and caressed me.

We spent the entire evening together, getting to know more about eachother and just in eachothers arms. I even asked him why he was so scary to others and he just shrugged and said that they aren't worth anything to him and if they feel bad, it's their problem, whereas I was worth alot to him and it was important for me to feel loved and cared for. Gosh, never in my life had someone treated me like a prince.
