(minors / ageless / blank blogs dni) ok but do you know how quick sukuna would fold in an argument if he ever made you cry?
we know he can get there. we know he can be difficult to communicate. but picture this:
he barks another reply, his responses always so sharp. the frustration gets you riled up and you can’t help but sniffle, can’t help but let the welling tears finally fall. you turn your back to him, your shoulders slump and miss the moment where the realization strikes him, where all the irritation and anger inside him evaporates.
“you…you can be such an ass…” you murmur, choking out a sob as you wipe your tears.

you squeeze your hand around the fabric of his clothing, another shaky breath leaving you. but when you gaze up at him from underneath your lashes, you know you’ve already forgiven him.
he rests his forehead against yours, another kiss follows but it’s a peck to your lips.
“you need to work on that,” you pout, your hands reaching for his jaw and he melts between your fingers like butter.
“I’m trying,” he exhales, mostly disappointed in himself. “I’m trying…”
