Work Text:
“Do you really have to do this?” You pout, crossing your arms disapprovingly at your boyfriend who was sitting at his study table. Sukuna sighs, “I have a major exam, so I do.” Your shoulders slump in defeat and you come closer until you’re right next to him.
Sukuna excels at basically everything in school, but despite that, he still studies and works diligently. It’s rare for him to pull an all-nighter (he knows how capable he is, therefore all-nighters are often unnecessary), so you let this slide. And besides, of course you want to be supportive.
“Okay… stay hydrated and don’t strain your eyes too much. Good night Kuna…” He nods and you kiss his temple. He kisses your cheek in return, “Good night, my love.” You go to the door to leave, turning just to silently look at him for a few moments. You know you resemble a kicked puppy right now, but finally you go to his bedroom. You’ve been staying over lately and you and Sukuna absolutely love it. You wake up next to each other and fall asleep together— except the latter won’t happen for tonight.
You enter and once you flop on the bed, it feels way too big for you. Regardless of how much time you’ve spent together, you can’t get enough of your lover’s warmth. You suddenly realize just how head over heels you are for this boy, and you sigh longingly. You’re also aware you’re being a little dramatic— it’s just one night, and yet…
Your ringtone abruptly goes off and you pick up your phone, raising a brow at the screen. Why is he calling you?
Obviously, you pick up anyway.
“Kuna?”
“Is it alright if you stay on the phone until I’m by your side again?”
You feel your heart grow a size bigger because how can you refuse him especially when he sounds so apologetic and gentle?
“Of course.”
A few minutes pass and Sukuna assumes you’ve fallen asleep at this point, which was why he was surprised when you suddenly spoke, “Daddy?”
You hear Sukuna take a sharp inhale, but he replies nonetheless, “Yes baby?”
“Why’d you call me?”
There wasn’t any response for a while and you thought that maybe you were disturbing him while he concentrated, so you closed your eyes and tried to sleep. But—
“Because you seemed so sad. It’s not a good night if you’re sad.”
God, his voice is so, so soft right now.
Your boyfriend seldom said sweet things. He would compliment you, yes, but to unabashedly verbalize his thoughts like this was rare. And it makes everything he says so much sweeter than it should be.
“I love you.”
“Go to sleep now. I’ll join you as soon as I’m done.” He pauses, “I love you too.”
