"Sukuna?" Sitting on top of Sukuna's throne, Yuuji watch as Sukuna's innate domain slowly crumble into dust.
The curse behind him grunts. "What is it, brat?"
"I'm glad that you're here with me."
Sukuna snorted. "Of course i'll be here with you. How could i not, when i'm stuck inside your body?"
Yuuji chuckles. "That's fair. But you know that's not what i meant."
Sukuna clicked his tongue. Even if he doesn't see him, Yuuji knows the curse just rolled his eyes. "Tch. Are you going to start saying sappy shit now?"
"Hey, being sentimental isn't shitty. Its just that you don't appreciate it."
"Yeah right."
At that, silence covers the crumbling domain once again.
Their death was inevitable, that is something both he and Sukuna knew since the beginning. But now that they're really facing it, it makes him feel cheated. As if the situation they were in is so unfair.
(It is unfair. Yuuji had never understood the need of shamans to kill him just because he's Sukuna's vessel. But at the same time he also understood the danger of having Sukuna around. Sukuna has always been a ticking time bomb. He only do things that pleases him and destroy things or people that gives him displeasure. And Yuuji, Yuuji never had control over Sukuna's actions. That, and taking into account that millions of lives at stake with Sukuna existing, he thinks he'd rather die and drag Sukuna with him than end up with him losing control over his body and let Sukuna run amok.)
Letting out a sigh, he lets himself lean on Sukuna's back even further. He was expecting the other to push him off the throne or something, but Sukuna didn't even move from where he is leaning on Yuuji's back, making him relax on the other's warmth even more.
Yuuji watch as one of the bones from above fell on the blood red water, the splash of water nearly reaching him from where he sat. When the bone sank under the crimson depths, he spoke once again.
"Sukuna?"
This time he felt before he heard Sukuna's sigh. "What?"
"Do you think we'll be able to meet again? In another life i mean."
It took the curse a couple of seconds before he answer. "...maybe."
"Good. Once we meet again, i want to get to know you more."
"And why the hell is that?"
"I didn't had the chance to get to know you since i always have to deal with a lot of things- i just think its nice if i get to know you more, y'know?" Yuuji says as he let his head rest onto Sukuna's own.
He felt Sukuna shook his head, voice exasperated as he says, "You're hopeless."
Yuuji's lips curl into a smile. "Maybe."
The ground below starts to have cracks as the innate domain starts shaking. Under the loud rumble of bones cracking, the sound of water falling onto the growing chasm below, and with his body starting to grow transparent, Yuuji knows their time is running short.
That's why when Yuuji spoke once again, he finally said the words he never thought he'll say at the curse that resides inside him.
"Sukuna."
"Ugh, what?"
With honesty dripping in tone and his eyes closing, he said, "I'll miss you."
"..." the curse didn't said anything at that. But as he felt a pinky finger curl around his own, he think he knows what Sukuna wanted to say.
'I'll miss you too. Promise, someday, i'll find you again.'
Before everything turn into nothingness, Yuuji give Sukuna's pinky a final squeeze.
'I'll be waiting.'
