3rd Point Of View

(Y/n) had never felt more safe, laying in Sukuna's bed while encased by Sukuna's arms. It was warm here, against Sukuna's bare chest. Her hand laid gently over his abdomen with a content smile, her ear pressed against him- allowing her to hear his heartbeat. It was comforting to hear it beat, reminding her that he was human- despite the fact that most people saw him as a demon.

Admittedly, when she first slipped into Sukuna's bed, she didn't know how to act. She didn't know how to position herself or how close she was allowed to be to Sukuna. It wasn't until the man pulled her to lay ontop of him that she finally loosened up and was able to relax in his embrace. There was a single candle flickering on the bedside table, giving a soft orange glow to Sukuna's skin, allowing her to see Sukuna's tattoos clear enough to be able to trace her finger over.

"I never realised how small I was until I laid beside you on this bed." (Y/n) whispered to him, knowing that he was stil awake despite not being able to see his face from how she was positioned.
"Well, I realised it the day I first saw you- sitting on the floor without a care in the world. I knew that if I mistepped then I could crush you like a bug." Sukuna mused casually, making (Y/n) giggle.

"Could you still? Crush me like a bug?" The girl teased with a growing smile, looking up at him.
"Of course. I wouldn't, but I could. Sometimes even insects have their uses." Sukuna told the girl with a smirk. At that, (Y/n) frowned, pushing her self up slightly so that she was sitting on Sukuna's lap, straddling him.
"Kuna, are you calling me an insect?" She then asked him with furrowed brows, making Sukuna chuckle.

It wasn't lost upon him that she called him by the same nickname she called him when she was drunk. She was cute, so he'd allow it- but he didn't even think she realised that she'd said it.
"Not at all- just pointing out a fact." Sukuna said, lifting his hand to the girl's hair where he then pulled out a daisy from the girl's hair that she seemed to miss when bathing.
"But if I were..." Sukuna suddenly added teasingly with a smirk, making (Y/n) gasp.

"Sukuna!" She scolded, nudging his arm. Sukuna then burst out in laughter before pulling the girl back against his chest, not at all doubting the fact that she was probably still pouting against him.
"Sukuna..." (Y/n) then mumbled softly, her tone changing, making her sound more hesitant. Sukuna wondered if she'd realised that her aura was still directed to him- that he was the only person in the world that could feel what she was feeling.

Sukuna hummed softly in response, waiting for the girl to speak about what's on her mind.
"Is this...are we...am I-" The girl trailed off, unable to find the correct words to finish her sentence without sounding pathetic. Only now, she sounded more pathetic- unable to speak.
"Spit it out." Sukuna ordered with a raised brow, looking down at the girl who began shyly staring up at him.

"Am I still a part of your staff?" (Y/n) timidly began asking, the darkness masking her peach coloured blush. Sukuna then smirked at the question.
"You haven't been a part of my staff for a very long time, little one." Sukuna then told her, making her lips part with confusion, taking her by surprise.
"But...of course I have! You ask me to clean and do chores!" The girl argued.

"I do- and you've have the option to decline for weeks now." Sukuna replied casually, "You just never have until today." At this, (Y/n) paused, not knowing what to say to him.
"Then if I'm not part of your staff...what does that make me?" (Y/n) asked him with confusion. She always saw herself as his translator- she wasn't sure what other title she could possibly have.

"You tell me." Sukuna retorted, making (Y/n)'s lips puff out with thought.
"...I'm not sure" She admitted, making Sukuna sigh with dissapointment.
"You'll figure it out eventually." Sukuna then told her as he closed his eyes.
"Why can't you just tell me now?" (Y/n) asked him, getting impatient.
"Because that ruins the point." Sukuna retorted nonchalantly, making (Y/n) frown.

"You haven't upgraded my title to whore, have you? Because if you have, I'd rather you tell me now." (Y/n) frowned, making Sukuna open his eyes with annoyance.
"A whore?" The king of curses echoed incredulously, his brow lifting as he made eye-contact with the girl.
"Do you really think I'd allow a whore to sleep in my bed?" Sukuna asked her, "Do you really think I'd make a whore cum with my tongue?"

At that, (Y/n) froze, unable to answer him because that didn't sound like something Sukuna would do with a whore. The last time she saw him with his whores, they were all pleasuring him in the throne room. She did not even think that Sukuna touched them.
"I..." She mumbled, making Sukuna smirk befoee shaking his head. He then closed his eyes once again before saying,

"Go to sleep, little one. Think about what you are and maybe you'll figure it out by the morning."

(A.N ~ I slept 10 hours and I'm still sleepy.)
