Sukuna Ryomen

You were different. Sukuna Ryomen was a lot of things. He was strong, rough, a player, rude, athletic, rich, the list could go on. Nobody was surprised when he was failing multiple of his classes. They were surprised, though, when he finally accepted someone as his tutor for all his classes after a bit of persuading. He wasn’t sure what to expect, but he surely wasn’t expecting you. You were a huge ball of sunshine, always smiling and speaking to everyone sweetly. Something about you ticked him off, so he came up with a plan to get you to quit your job as a tutor.

At first, he treated you like how he treated everyone. He was rude, cold, and closed off. No matter how much he tried to push you away hoping you’d quit, you kept coming back in with an even bigger smile each time. After a while, he started to soften around you. You got to see a side of Sukuna Ryomen nobody else saw. The two of you eventually became close, hanging out and spending time together a lot. As time passed, he started to notice how attached he was to you. How much he needed you near him. Every time you spoke, laughed, smiled, or did literally anything he would catch his heart racing. He tried to deny those feelings, it was stupid. You were so perfect, so kind, so sweet, and he was just… well, him. Would you even want to be seen dating someone like him? You’d be teased and ridiculed for sure. So, he suppressed his feelings for your sake, and for the sake of the friendship you had built, hoping that you wouldn’t notice how he felt.

The two of you had gone out in the afternoon to watch a movie, and Sukuna couldn’t help but blush the entire time. After the movie, you went out to get some fast food before Sukuna pulled up to the favorite spot you two found one night. You had both sat on the hood of his car, giggling and laughing together as usual. The view was perfect, the sun was setting, and all the lights down below were turning on. The setting sun cast a perfect glow around your face as you talked about whatever it was. He just couldn’t help but admire you, and without thinking, he spoke.

“I love you.”

He saw your face drop for a moment, trying to comprehend what he said. By the time he realized that he said “I love you” out loud, it was too late. You had a bittersweet look on your face, and just by looking at you he knew what your answer was.

“Sukuna-“ “Don’t. Please..”

He spoke quietly, lowering his head. He cursed himself in his head, of course had to go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like I love you.
