The Sun and The Moon (Sukuna X OC)

Chapter 10

(A/N: Can you guess who Tooru's character is based on? comment your guess!!!! WARNING LONG CHAPTER AHEAD)

Tooru let me wear one of his Yukata. It was very beautiful. It had intricate navy designs over a slightly lighter blue. It was large on me and draped off one of my shoulders.

My long white hair started to dry after a while inside by the fire.

I caught Tooru staring at me on multiple occasions, a blush decorated his cheeks each time I caught him. 

I wouldn't deny he was a very handsome man. He had a kindness about him, but something in his eyes told me there was more to him than that. 

"Are you hungry? I can make us something to eat." His deep voice asked cheerfully.

I nodded giving him a small smile. My voice is still sore from the intense training I had earlier this morning. 

It was dark by now and no doubt Sukuna has realized I was gone. 

I know I always say how he is the clingy one, the one who always needs to be touched, always needs me within view, always demands my full attention. But this is the longest I've been without him since we met. It's been nearly four hours since I last saw his face. 

I started to crave his warmth. It felt like a part of me was missing when I wasn't touching him. Like he was an extension of myself.

Without him there I felt cold and vulnerable. 

"Any preferences, Selene?" Tooru asked from the kitchen. 

That was another thing. My name. 

It sounded so foreign to me now. It had been so long since someone called me by my name casually. 

It felt weird to be Selene... not my prize. not darling. Not sweetheart. not my goddess. 

Just Selene. 

I don't like being just Selene. 

"No thank you Tooru. Anything is fine." I replied kindly as I gazed back into the fireplace.

Maybe this was a bad idea. This was turning out to be a punishment for myself just as much as a punishment for the bratty king. 

My mind was pulled out of the clouds by Tooru announcing dinner. 

It was a simple meal, some rice and fish, but I didn't mind. 

"Itadakimasu" I smiled before digging in. 

We shared our stories. I of course left out the part about being a 'witch' and my relations with the King of Curses. But I surprised myself by being completely honest about the rest of it. 

I told him how my parents were killed and how I was sent to live with a woman named Freya. I told how Freya died and I went on the run. I told him how I was now running away from my 'husband'. He listened thoughtfully and it made me feel better. 

In return, he was kind enough to tell me his life story as well. 

"I grew up a happy child. I was a prodigy in my clan, as well as the eldest son of the clan head. My brother and I were training one day out in the field... We had stayed out much later than usual and it was already pretty dark out. We had just started walking back... when we heard the screams. My clan was killed. All of them were utterly destroyed. I was the only one to get away..."

I looked at him with sympathy as tears filled his eyes. 

I can't say I have remorse for humans, they were all terrible roaches who want nothing more than to cause pain. But... I related to this human's pain.
