Stirring, you blindly reached around looking for your boyfriend, frowning at not feeling him close to you. You were about to open your eyes and sit up when you heard a deep throaty laugh behind you and a big hand paw at your waist and drag you towards him.

“Not even in your sleep can be away from me huh?” His deep, sleep laced voice made your heart flutter. Turning around to snuggle into him you pressed a soft kiss to his Adam’s apple.

“Obviously,” you murmured, your hand tracing patterns lightly on his back. You felt his hand glide up your body, up your neck and cupping your jaw, where he brought your face up to his and slotted his slips against yours.

Part 2.

Taking a deep breath, you looked at the clock beside the door. You noticed you only had 5 minutes before Isamu Ryoumen and his son Sukuna arrived for the mysterious meeting your aunt had set up. With a frown, you headed over to the small bar in your office, turning on the kettle to prepare some coffee. While waiting, you couldn’t help but think back to the day your aunt had visited to set up this meeting. She refused to give any details, no matter how much you pressed her. All she could say was that it was something Isamu and she had been talking over for a while and wanted to discuss with you.

You had an idea of what this meeting might be about. The Ryomen’s where owners of one of the biggest IT companies in all of Japan, and you were the majority shareholder and chair of the Shiso group, a small but extremely profitable cyber securities company. After your parents had passed in a car accident when you were 15, it was determined that you would become chair and CEO of the company, with all your parents shares given to you once you finished college. Since you had been studying abroad, you were able to keep busy and your mind occupied, but once graduation came up, you could feel the reality of what was to come next settle in.

You were extremely grateful for your aunt though. Your father’s sister had stepped in as soon as the tragedy had happened, making sure you remained focused and took care of yourself. She took on the role of parent seamlessly and you were forever grateful for that.  

She ahead even offered to find someone else to run the company in case that was a path you did not want to pursue, but you had decided to continue your parents work and legacy. You worked hard in school, learned as much as she could and had been able to assemble a loyal and capable team, in which they had grown the Shiso group to one of the main securities providers to the biggest companies in Japan. All the praise had to go to them.

For this reason, you were hesitant to agree to this meeting. Isamu Ryomen was known to be a ruthless and calculating businessman. You knew that while an acquisition or merger might make sense at some point, and Ryomen inc. made sense to do it with, she did not want someone else to come in and change the dynamic of the company. You had to think about the employees, they might want to come in and force you to do things differently, which was something you refused to do.

You walked over to the window, pulling out your phone. 2:08, her aunt and the Ryomen’s were late. Strange, but at least that would cut their time shorter. With a smile, you walked over to the small table in the office and sat down, scrolling on your phone. A sudden knock made you look up expectantly, until your best friend and VP Shoko Ieiri peeked her head in. “What’s this? Aunty Akane is late? Soo unlike her.” Walking in, she sauntered over to the table and sat down, sliding a folder over for you to look at.

“Right? It’s okay though, she knew I had only an hour so the later they are, the least time I’ll have to deal with Isamu and Sukuna,” you said happily while looking over the contracts Shoko had brought in. Ieiri looked at you quietly, amused at your attitude and how dense you could be sometimes. “Whoa! Hakari closed the Hofstay group contract? That is perfect, remind me to get him something, that’s the fifth deal he brings in this quarter.” Ieiri chuckled, getting up to pour herself a coffee, “Y/N, I’m sure you’d tell me if something is going on, but is there a reason why Isamu and Sukuna are coming so suddenly?” Leaning back in your chair, you hummed. “It was mainly aunt Akane’s doing. I’m sure it must have something to do with an acquisition or merger of some sort. I mean, it might make sense eventually but not really something I’m open to right now, so nothing is really going to happen,” looking back at your friend you smiled. “I’m just going to take the meeting for auntie, that’s all. Also, you will be in the meeting, so once the hour is up, you can remind me of some place we simply cannot be late to!”

Ieiri nodded, turning to look at you while she leaned against the counter. “Is there a reason why Sukuna is coming though? You said you haven’t seen him since high school, right?” With a huff, you put your forehead on the table. “That is what I cannot figure out. Last time I heard, he was in London, finishing up school and then working on the branch over there. It’s making me nervous that he’s included on this for some reason.”

Ieiri walked back towards the table, looking at you in wonder. “So, you were keeping tabs on him the whole time and you didn’t tell me!?” Shooting up, you looked at Ieiri’s annoyed face as you felt her face heat up. “N-no! It’s not like that, I just wanted to know how he was doing. After his mom passed, I did reach out many times but didn’t hear anything from him, so…I just wanted to make sure he was okay.” Ieiri’s eyes narrowed dangerously, which you took as a sign that she didn’t believe you. Looking at your phone, you checked your messages to see if your aunt had sent anything.

“You know, I half expected you guys to end up dating eventually. You were inseparable all up to high school and he would always take care of you.” “-he was just like my brother, our parents threw us together ever since we were born.” Ieiri laughed, throwing her head back in disbelief. “Oh Y/N, you’re too old to believe that still. It’s like you were his, not in a possessive way at all. But I guess in a way where it was you and him against the world.”

 You looked at Ieiri quietly. She always had a way to bring out what you were really thinking. You had to admit that was why you were so nervous. You and Sukuna were inseparable all throughout your early years, always together thanks to your parents. It hurt you more than you cared to admit that he had stopped all contact with you once he had gone to school in London.

You always thought that you’d be in each other’s lives in some capacity. He had always protected you against kids that teased you and had stayed with you after your parents passed, but you noticed something in him had changed once his mother had passed. Before you could open that can of worms about feelings you had not sorted through in years, you heard another knock at the door. Ieiri and you quickly stood up as auntie walked in, followed by Isamu and Sukuna.

“Oh, my darling, I am so sorry we are late. Last minute delays but what we have to discuss shouldn’t take long!” The older woman heartily exclaimed. Rushing forward to greet her, you were already shaking your head, “No worries at all I understand.” Receiving one of her crushing hugs, you laughed while she patted your back lightly. Once she let you go, she zeroed in on Ieiri, “Shoko! My lovely girl!”

Turning to look back at Isamu and Sukuna, you smiled at the two men as you headed over to them, trying to contain your fluttering heart at the sight of Sukuna after so long. He was taller and more muscular. The same crimson eyes you remembered and the pink hair you loved so much. Before they could think of you as a creep, you bowed in greeting. “Sir, it’s great to see you. You as well Sukuna, I’m glad you are doing well.” Looking back at them, you could feel the frostiness oozing out of them. You were used to Isamu’s lack of emotion, but Sukuna’s smile did not reach his eyes. “Y/N, as I’ve told you before, there is no need for formalities. It is good to see you, I trust everything is well. With the company and yourself?” Said the older man in his usual bored tone. “Y-yes, running the company takes a lot of my time but everything is well. The company had an impressive quarter, but it’s all thanks to the employees really. Our newest hire, Hakari has been a great asset, were very lucky that he decided to come work here as I know he had a few offers.” At the mention of the other man’s name, Sukuna finally really looked at you. For some reason, he looked upset at the mention of Hakari’s name.

Before you could dig into this information deeper, auntie’s voice rang out, “Alright Y/N, let’s begin, I know you’re busy, so we won’t take much of your time.” Turning to them, you saw Ieiri with a look of worry in her face. Before you were able to ask her what the issue was, Ieiri started heading out, “Y/N, I actually have to attend to another issue while you’re here. We do have another meeting after this so I will come by for you so we can take care of that. Sir, it’s good to see you. Sukuna, good to see you too.” Both men bowed to Ieiri as she walked out and closed the door behind her.

“Um, I know auntie said that there was something we needed to discuss so please,” you said, directing everyone to the small sofa and chairs next to the window, “could I get anyone anything?” Isamu and auntie took the chairs, you noticed, forcing you to sit next to Sukuna in the small couch. Hoping you could busy herself with preparing coffee or tea for anyone, you were dismayed when everyone declined.

You cursed herself when you sat next to Sukuna, thinking you should have listened to Ieiri when she told you to buy a bigger couch. The small couch had their bodies basically pressed next to each other and you could feel the heat radiating from Sukuna’s large body. You were unnerved at the way Sukuna was acting. You understood that things might have changed once his mother passed, but you had tried to be there for him the way he had been for you. He had hardly said a word to you since arriving.

Isamu’s voice broke you from her reverie. “Y/N, you have been running Shiso group for five years now and doing an incredible job at it. I must admit that after Minato and Hana’s untimely passing, I had my doubts at Akane’s decision to keep you at the helm. But I can admit when I am wrong, and you have done a splendid job.” With a small smile, all you could do was nod. Was Isamu here just to compliment you? The conversation was not making any sense so far.

“As you know,” Isamu continued, “the next step should be to grow your company even more. You can do this by ensuring to have the correct allies and right connections in our business. Which is why, with Akane’s approval, I’ve come to offer a merger of sorts.” As you were about to decline, Isamu uttered the words you would have never imagined. “I am aware that you are against any merger or acquisition of your company to anyone else from what Akane has told me, which I understand, but as I’ve mentioned, longevity in our business is about connections and alliances. For this reason, I want to offer a union of both our families and companies by having you marry my son.”

You felt as If you’d been punched. Feeling breathless, you quickly turned to Look at Sukuna. He obviously wanted nothing to do with you, as he had avoided any type of contact with you previously and he couldn’t even spare you a glance even with this revelation.

You noticed he did not seem surprised, so he must have known about this previously. Finding no answer there, you turned to look at your aunt, who at least had the decency of looking a bit flustered. Straightening in her chair, she turned to Isamu in a haste, “what is the meaning of this, we had discussed bringing the families together but agreed that I would speak to my niece about the marriage proposal first.”

Both looked at each other defiantly, daring the other to look away first. “Akane, I understand, but please understand me. Y/N’s parents where family to my late wife and I, Minato and I frequently spoke of how wonderful it would be if Sukuna and Y/N were to be married. It is unfortunate the children lost contact once they went to university, but it was to be expected. Y/N and Sukuna are now back home, and I would be remiss if I did not give them a push in the direction we had always wished for.”

You scoffed. Feeling the situation slipping out of your hands, you looked down at your hands, wringing them together. You could feel everyone’s eyes on you, even Sukuna, so before a panic attack could come on you softly spoke out. “Isamu, I am so thankful that you still find it in your heart to look out for me even after my father’s passing. An alliance as you say, is not something that I am opposed to so we can discuss that further if you’d like.”

Glancing up, Isamu’s face was as apathetic as ever. You hated how frantic your voice sounded but continued on, “I understand why you would want a union through marriage, b-but…I mean, I haven’t spoken to Sukuna for so long. We did grow up together and he will hold a special place in my heart always, but he might not want this or already have another…person.”

You did not know why you said all that. It was true, but in your frantic state had shared thoughts only Shoko was aware of as your best friend. Everyone was silent, apparently at your sudden outburst, when you heard Sukuna clear his throat beside you. “My father and aunty brought this up to me already Y/N. If this is something you agree to, I am in as well.”

You were at a loss for words. For more reasons you could even begin to process. Hearing his voice after so long made you feel flustered, remembering late night conversations, discussing some show you two would watch or his incessant teasing that always flustered you to no end. Did the first words you heard from him after so long have to be, “sure I agree with this business transaction?”

Sukuna looked at you expectantly, his crimson eyes focused on you. “I n-need…” and as if sensing your distress, a knock was heard at the door, opening to show Shoko peeking on and looking at you expectantly.

“I am so sorry everyone, but I really must steal Y/N now.” Standing up, you bowed to Isamu, “I have to get going, but please allow me some time to think about this.” Standing up, Isamu started walking towards the door. You thought he’d leave, but before exiting your office, he turned to look at you one last time, “I have no opposition to that, please let us know what you decide Y/N. Come, son.” And with a curt nod to you and Shoko, Sukuna followed his father out of your office. “Darling, we will talk tonight,” finished Akane, waving to Shoko and exiting the office as well.

Once she was sure they had all left, Shoko followed you to your desk and sat opposite you. “Did they really ask you to marry Sukuna?” Looking back at your friend in shock, you nodded. “Did aunty tell you?”

“She did mention it right before I had to leave. She did say she would be telling you herself, but from your face, it looks like Isamu dropped the bomb before she was able to.” You could only laugh, it didn’t matter if they would have told you separately, it was still a shock what they were offering. It was even more of a shock to know that Sukuna agreed to it. You did not know what you would do.

“Do we have anything right now or for the rest of the day?” Shoko looked at you and happily shook her head, “Nope! I was able to clear our schedules and the meeting we did have to go to, I was able to get Hakari to take it.” Sinking down on your chair, you let out a long sigh and rubbed your temples. “Thank god he works here, I’m sure he can eventually take over both our jobs,” you said jokingly as you ducked a pen Shoko threw your way. “But really, do you want to finish here and head out for a drink?” Shoko stood up and walked towards the door, looking back at you, and smiling, “of course, hurry up and finish then Miss CEO cause we’re getting hammered tonight.”

You walked through the doors of your favorite dive bar, looking for an open table in the back. Finding one, you quickly walked back to claim it, waving hello to the bartender on duty. “Hello Aoi, I will have a gin & tonic please!” You quickly slipped a couple of bills over; sure, this should cover the complete annihilation you were planning for Shoko’s and your liver tonight.

“Just you tonight?” Aoi asked as he slid over the drink. Taking a sip and smiling at the bitter taste washing down your throat, you shook your head, “Ieiri should be here any minute now, she just got stuck at the office finishing off some stuff.” With a wave, you headed over to the open table you had spotted earlier.

Taking your phone out, you were letting Shoko know where you were sitting when a familiar voice called your name. “Hey boss! What are you doing here alone?” Looking up, Hakari was walking towards the table. You smiled at the burly, pink haired man as he sat next to you. “Ieiri and I are meeting here but she’s held up at the office! She shouldn’t be long I think,” with a frown, she took a long swig of her drink.

Hakari laughed and stood up heading towards the bar, turning to look at you he called, “what’re you drinking? She can catch up to us while she gets here.”

A few minutes later, you felt as if your head was full of cotton. Looking at your watch, only about 30 minutes had passed, but you felt you had been drinking for hours. “Damn Hakari, what did you get us?"

With a laugh, Hakari threw the remnants of his drink back, slamming the glass on the table gleefully. “They’re just mules, but I figured you’d need something strong since I heard that Isamu came up for a meeting?”

Gesturing to Aoi for another round, you looked at Hakari and rested your cheek on your hand with a sigh. How much should you tell him? He was a trusted employee and you had found him to be a great friend ever since meeting him, and Shoko was taking longer than expected. You really wanted to talk about this with someone.

“That bad huh,” Hakari said, staring at you hard. With a laugh, you thanked Aoi for the drinks he had brought up and looked down at your hands. “I guess so. I’m sure you knew they were looking to buy us out and absorb us. No one expected us to grow so much the last year and it’s thanks to you!” She said, slapping a hand on his shoulder, not noticing Hakari’s blush at your action. Maybe the alcohol was stronger than you thought, “but surprisingly Isamu was looking for an alliance of sorts, I guess? Basically, not looking to bring me down just yet,” you finished with a snort.

Hakari stirred his drink with his straw, deep in thought. “I see. So, what kind of alliance was he looking for? I’m sure Businessmen like Isamu don’t make offers without an ulterior motive so it must come with some contingencies.”

You felt nervous for some reason. Hakari had always treated you with respect and as a real friend, so you didn’t know why you were so nervous telling him about the marriage proposal. “Well yeah, my aunt and Isamu want his son, Sukuna and I to get married.” A few moments of silence passed, and looking back at Hakari, you could see how he had stiffened at the mention of Sukuna’s name.

“Ryoumen Sukuna is ryoumen Isamu’s son?” you nodded, alarmed at the change in Hakari’s demeanor. You continued hastily, “it’s not like he’s some stranger. We did grow up together and spent pretty much all our lives together also. We just lost touch once we each went to university, b-but…”

Hakari turned to look at you, “well, what are you thinking of doing?” You were still grappling with the decision, trying to think of what the best course of action could be. “Even if you grew up together, do you know what he has been up to this whole time you have not spoken? He had quite the reputation with the employees at his father’s company. The employees as well as the secretaries.”

You were surprised, you figured that he must have surely dated during all this time. Sukuna was an attractive man and came from a well-off family. That made him a catch anywhere, still, it was surprising to hear from him that he had agreed to marry while dating someone else. “H-how do you know all this?” Crap, she could feel tears forming already, it had been a bad idea to come drink after receiving all these news.

“We went to the same university. That guy is a real dick, he doesn’t care about anyone else but himself,” Hakari said softly. Feeling bad at his outburst, he placed a hand over yours, “listen, you will choose what is best for you. But working for you and getting to know you so far, I’m sure you’re going to base this decision based on how it will affect everyone else in the company. Don’t do that, whatever you decide we’ll be fine, as long as our fearless leader is okay, we will be okay.” He finished with a smile, and he swiped a tear that had fallen down your cheek with his thumb.

With a weak laugh, you thanked him, dabbing at your eyes roughly with some napkins. “Thank you Hakari.” At that moment, someone cleared their throat and you looked up to see Shoko standing near the door with a murderous looking Sukuna behind her. “O-Oh hey guys! Hakari, I didn’t know you’d be here; this is Ryoumen Sukuna.” Shoko looked at you questioningly, then at Sukuna and Hakari who were staring daggers at each other. “Yeah, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him before.” Standing up, Hakari downed his drink and started heading over to the bar, waving at Shoko before turning to you, “think over what I mentioned Y/N and I will see you at the office tomorrow!”

Turning back to Shoko, you swallowed nervously, before looking up at Sukuna. “Can I get you guys anything? Did you guys bump into each other in your way here?” You tried to sound as calm as possible, but Sukuna’s piercing gaze made you feel you were 15 again, flustered, and shy.

“Erm- no. Y/N, I was heading over here and Sukuna was waiting downstairs for you, I let him know where we were meeting up and he came over with me.” She looked at Sukuna, who in turn, pulled out his wallet and handed a card to Shoko, “Ieiri, would you mind getting us some drinks, I need to talk to Y/N.” With a curt nod, Shoko stood up and headed over to Hakari, who was talking animatedly with Aoi. She motioned she’d be over in case anything was needed, and you tried to give the most reassuring smile possible.

It was silent for a while, until you couldn’t resist anymore. “So, you don’t speak to me for five years then suddenly your father says we should get married. And you’re fine with it?” You did not expect to come out so strong, but maybe the alcohol was not such a bad idea after all. “Y/N listen, I kn- “

“No Sukuna, I missed you during that time we were both away at school. I missed my best friend and then…” wiping away newly formed tears, you continued before you could lose your nerve. “Did…d-did I do anything to you? And then when your mother passed, I wanted to be there for y- “at that moment, he slammed his hand on the table, rattling the many glasses left behind by Hakari and you. “Listen you brat, I’m doing you a favor. My father planned to buy your company out and strip it, you think he’s going to do that to his son’s wife?” You listened to Sukuna’s harsh words, trying to process this new information.

“I don’t need your help.” Sukuna laughed at your words, rubbing his eyes in frustration, “you think your company stands any chance against him? What’s more, why are you being so difficult about this? It’s not like you have suitors lining up at your door to marry you, and don’t think I didn’t know about your little crush on me when we were younger, so this is a win-win for you in all aspects,” Sukuna finished angrily, picking up his drink and drinking it all in one go.

You were in shock and did not know what to even reply to his last comment. Wiping your tears roughly, you looked at him defiantly, “so I’m sure those feelings were never reciprocated then. Fine, what is the expectation here? You’re fine to marry someone you don’t love? And just live the rest of your life with someone you obviously can’t stand?”

Sukuna scoffed, and she continued, “besides, aren’t you dating someone already?” At this Sukuna’s head snapped up to look at you. If you hadn’t been drunk, his gaze would have made you squirm in your seat.

“You know brat, I learned a long time ago love doesn’t exist. You should start getting yourself used to that idea. Obviously if we were to get married, I will not stray if that has you worried, but again, you look like the type to romanticize everything so maybe this is not a good idea if you’re expecting anything from me,” he stood up, throwing on his jacket.

“Look at this as a business transaction and do it for the good of your company, if anything. You think your parents would enjoy seeing what a weak woman you’ve become?” Motioning over to Shoko, Sukuna turned to look Over at you, “think of your company, and give my father your answer soon. Dismantling companies is not a fast process.” And with that he sauntered off.

Shoko came over to you hurriedly and hugged you. “Can we please go home? I’m sorry, I know you just got here.” Nodding, she helped you up, and as they headed out, she turned to Hakari who was still in the bar and gave a small wave. He returned it with a tight-lipped smile, while Shoko walked you over to her car.

As they drove over to your apartment, Shoko looked over at you nervously. “What happened? You guys were fine but then he left, and you were crying.” You didn’t even know what happened yourself. The relationship that was there when you were both younger obviously wasn’t there anymore, but if he hated you as much as it seemed, why did Sukuna agree to marry you? More importantly, you couldn’t let someone else take you company. It would put in jeopardy all the employees and put her parents work at risk.

“Nothing Shoko, I’m sorry you know how I get when I’m drunk,” you tried to offer your most reassuring smile, but did not do such a great job. Shoko pulled up to your apartment and as you were getting off, she held you back. “You know you can tell me anything right?” With a smile, you leaned in to hug her, trying your best to reassure your friend.

“Thank you Ieiri, don’t worry, I will figure everything out,” with that, you stepped out and waved as Shoko drove away. The elevator to your floor seemed to take forever, but once inside your place, you quickly headed to your room and stripped down to your underwear, too tired in every possible way to put on some clothes.

Now that you were in bed, you could no longer sleep. As you thought of what to do, you couldn’t help but think back to your childhood, and Sukuna. He had been such an important part of it all, that what hurt you the most was that for some reason he seemed to hate you.

He would take care of you, when boys would try and mess with you, and in turn, after an inevitable fist fight happened, you would be there to clean up his wounds and bandage everything up.

You remembered when you went over to his house to say goodbye when he left for school. His parents gave them some privacy, sure some grand confession of love would be happening, but they could be no further from the truth.

“Make sure to call me! I know that you are going g to struggle with schoolwork!” Sukuna pushed your head lightly, playfully as you giggled. “Yeah, yeah brat. I don’t know how you’re going to manage without me as your bodyguard. THAT is what has me worried.” As you pouted at his comment, Sukuna laughed that laugh you loved, hearty and full of life. “Take care of yourself Y/N,” Sukuna said suddenly serious. Looking at him with a light blush, you couldn’t help but look away. You wondered if you should tell him, tell him how much you loved him and how much his company meant to you. You felt like you could be yourself around him and you hopped you had given him the same confidence and support he had always given you.

Your relationship had never been the most physical, but you could feel tears welling in your eyes. You threw your arms around him and hugged him as hard as you could, hanging off him due to the height difference. “Wh-what are you doing Y/N, get off you freak!” You sniffed loudly, holding onto him tighter. You felt Sukuna hum, and his hands hesitantly came up and around you. One on your waist and the other cradling your head.

“I’m going to miss you brat. Take care of yourself and I’ll see you when I’m back. You better call me too.” And at that moment you swore you felt the lightest pressure on top of her head, where you swore Sukuna pressed his lips, but before you could ruminate more about that, he let you go and stroking your cheek one last time, he walked over to his car, got on, and with a last wave drove away.

You turned to your side and pulled your knees up to your chest and hugged them tightly. Who were you kidding, you still loved Sukuna, and seeing him again had stirred all those emotions in you once more. Before you could lose your nerve, you grabbed your phone from the nightstand and typed a message to your aunt: sorry it’s so late aunty, but I’ve thought about this situation with the Ryoumen’s, and I made my decision. I will marry Sukuna

You had to protect your company and your employees, and you wanted to protect Sukuna as well. You knew that something had happened to him while he was away and if he was offering to do this, there had to be a reason why.

Hitting send, you closed her eyes and tried to get some sleep.

The next morning, you woke with the biggest headache ever. Groaning, you turned to grab your phone, getting up to start getting ready to head to work. As you walked over to the bathroom, you noticed a message from aunty Akane. “Y/N, this will be great for you, I knew you and that boy were destined for each other! I’ve notified Isamu, so once you are heading to work, stop by their office so we can talk about arrangements!”

Groaning, you hopped on the shower to try and alleviate the headache. An hour later, you were driving over to the Ryoumen offices as your aunt had requested. As you parked and headed inside, you noticed how most of the employees would stare and whisper among each other, you figured they might know something.

 As you finally arrived at reception to Isamu’s office, you waved hello to their assistant Uraume, and let him know you were expected. “Oh yes Miss! I will let them know; do you mind waiting a second?”

With a smile you sauntered over to the glass wall, looking outside the courtyard. You had always admired their office layout. With the open space, and bright colors, you had loved coming over with your father when you were younger and play in the courtyard. As you looked over to that side, you saw Sukuna and another woman, walking over. You had just seen Sukuna for a couple of days now, but this person was the farthest from the sulky and angry person you had been dealing with.

You couldn’t help but stare, the female was very pretty, with long blonde hair tied in a pretty braid and her figure-hugging dress clinging in all the right places. She held on to his arm, and while he did not reciprocate the touches, he did not move away from her as you would expect him to.

As they walked through the courtyard, Sukuna looked up and saw you waiting at his father’s office and walked over, with the usual frown in place. Seeing him head over, you walked over to Uraume who looked up and motioned you inside. Thanking him quietly, you were about to step through to the office when you heard Sukuna call your name.

“Y/N, what are you doing here?” Before you could burst into tear yet again, you smiled ruefully at him and walked over to the office door. “I came to give my answer.” Sukuna seemed surprised, which Uraume took advantage to cut in, “Sir, your father would actually like you to go in as well.” Not taking his eyes off you, he nodded and opened the door, ushering you in.

“Oh, my dear children!” Both of you were greeted by mizuna, Sukuna’s grandmother. Aunt Akane also rushed forward to hug the both of you. “My babies, you even arrived together. It is mean to be!” You greeted Mizuna and bowed to Sukuna’s father. “No aunty, I arrived alone, Sukuna was with someone else, and we just coincided in the lobby,” you quietly said, as you sat down in a small armchair, avoiding any opportunity of being forced to sit next to Sukuna yet again.

He sat in the couch next to you, yet you could still feel his anger radiating off him from your actions. “So, Y/N, Akane tells me that you have agreed to the marriage proposal. I am glad, my child. Is there anything you need from us?” You smiled and shook your head shyly. “Oh Y/N, we will make sure that you look stunning on your special day! It will be such a beautiful affair! I can’t believe I get to see the wedding of my only grandchild and to his childhood best friend! We will I invite everyone and- ““obachan,” you interrupted, “I am so thankful for your enthusiasm in this, but I would actually like to request something.”

Everyone looked at you expectantly, even Sukuna looked at you curiously. “I don’t want a big wedding, please. I just want to go to city hall and have a small ceremony with you three and my best friend Ieiri. And whoever Sukuna might want to invite as well.” Akane and Mizuna looked at you in disbelief, not understanding why you did not want to have a grand party to celebrate the union.

“Y/N please don’t take the opportunity to shower you with wedding gifts from me!” Aunt Akane exclaimed. You couldn’t help but laugh and shake your head, “please, this is all I really want. Of course, if Sukuna wants something different…” you finished quietly.

“I fine with whatever Y/N decides.” “Very well,” Isamu quietly replied, “shall we do this this Saturday? We can have dinner at our house after,” nodding, you bowed. As you were about to excuse yourself to return to work, Sukuna stood up and turned to you. Pulling out a small box from his pocket and opening it, he showed you a small ring. It was a thing gold band, with a row of small diamonds around it. It was small and elegant; you were besotted by it you couldn’t stop looking at it. “Do you want me to put it on or not you freak,” Sukuna muttered quietly.

Thrown off by the old nickname he often called you, you smiled and nodded slightly, offering your hand. Gingerly taking your hand, he slipped the ring on. They remained holding hands for a few second when they were broken out of their thoughts by Aunt Akane exclaiming, “well done my boy!” With a smile, you bowed once more to everyone, confirming the time to meet in city hall in a few days’ time and headed out.

As you walked to your car, you heard steps behind you, then Sukuna’s hand pulling your arm to turn you around. “Y/N, I wanted to say that-“cutting him off with a smile you laughed. “Sukuna, you always took care of me when we were growing up. Thank you but I think I can take care of myself from here on out.” Narrowing his eyes, Sukuna stiffened at your tone, “what is this supposed to mean?”

Opening the car door, you settled the door between Sukuna and yourself. “I think you were right, its best if I think of this as a business transaction and not something that can grow to more. This way now I can protect myself.” You could feel the fury radiating out of Sukuna, “Y/N, what are you talking about, huh?”

Sitting down inside your car, you closed the door as you lowered the window. “I think you’re right, why bother with an inane idea such as love. If you come to tolerate me eventually, I think that we can pull out a nice partnership out of this. Isn’t that what your father and you wanted?”

Sukuna leaned down to your eye level, “Y/N, what are you doing?” You couldn’t help but laugh, surprised that there was a modicum of concern in his voice. “Don’t worry about it Sukuna, I’ll see you in two days. You can invite that pretty girl from the courtyard if you want too! Alright see ya! I’ll be the one in white!” And with that you drove off, Sukuna’s form getting smaller in the distance, glad that you had been able to drive away before he could see the tears running down your face yet again.
