There was something almost magnetic about the way you navigated the halls, always greeted by others with smiles and nods of acknowledgment. People gravitated towards you for the warmth and sincerity you effortlessly exuded.
In stark contrast, Sukuna was notoriously known as 'The Disgraced One', his cold and aloof demeanor keeping him forever on the outskirts of the high school social sphere. His presence was like a shadow, always lingering but never fully acknowledged. In addition, it wasn’t just his solitary nature—there were rumors, dark and unsettling, that painted him as someone to be wary of. Whispers in the halls told of his quick temper, his disdain for people, and his supposed involvement in all sorts of drama.
However, ignoring all the rumours, you instead chose look past the gossip and approach him first, slowly getting to know him and earning his trust.

Sukuna, meanwhile, was confused. He never liked talking to people, yet he never pushed you away. He didn't get what it was about you that was so different. That made him different. Was it your looks? Your personality?

You took the chance to approach the pink-haired figure and took a chair, sitting next to him. Sukuna didn’t look up, but you knew he was aware of your presence—he always was. He let out a low hum of acknowledgment as his fingers swiped over the phone, a huff leaving your breath as he played some game as per-usual.
