Never in my life have I jumped out of my seat so quickly. I stared at the curse with wide eyes.

"Is he?" I asked as I gripped my clothes.

"Yes." After he said that I stood in front of the doors that led to his room. That was rather quick.

'Should I knock? ... Or should I just walk in? Should I say something? Oh my lord, what am I? Some 5 years old?'

I reached for the handle and pushed the doors open. I walked in and closed the doors behind me. And stood like a stone.

"Sukuna?" I walked a bit closer. A wave of joy rushed through my body when I saw him sitting at the edge of the bed. It took me everything to not jump at him and embraced him in my arms.

He looked at me with his red eyes before he turned his head at me. He wasn't moving, just looking right into my eyes. As if he was looking for something.

"Sukuna-" I was about to step closer to him.

"Stay where you are." He raised his voice a bit. I bit my lower Lip but followed his request.

"Which one?" He asked. I wasn't quite understanding what he was asking.

"What do you mean?" I asked, tilting my head to the side a bit.

"Is it you? or the other you?" I blinked at him before it hit me. He was referring to my fight with him. After I lost control over my body, the curse inside me took over my body. That was 'other you'.

"It's me. I mean, (Y/N)." I answered. Sukuna stared at me before he fixed his gaze on the ground.

"Look. I'm sorry for what-"

"Don't apologize." Sukuna said, stretching his arms and back, before standing up on his feet. He had few small scars on his back and torso. It looked like most of them healed.

"Don't stare." He thrown a pillow at my face. Sure, I was staring at his body. It's well build you know?

"Right, right." I chuckled after throwing the pillow back at his bed. Sukuna was walking around doing some things while I got lost in my thoughts.

"Sukuna..." I mumbled, loud enough for him to hear me. He hummed in response. I raised my head and looked at him.

"What am I to you?" The wind began to blow through the opened window. Our eyes met and the sky burned a strong orange glow as the sun set behind the mountains.

Silence field the room. Our eyes never left each other, I began to feel a strange feeling in my stomach. One I haven't felt in a long time. I believed it was nervousness.

Sukuna kept his gaze at me, slowly blinking before he looked out of the window. The orange glow lightened up his face and his eyes began to shine in the sunset. I was wondering, have I ever noticed how handsome he was?

"Let me ask you..." My eyes let up, waiting for his answer that never came. He looked at me with his red eyes, a small smirk formed on his lips before he asked.

"What am I to you?"
