“I want a baby.”

For a heartbeat, there was only silence. Then, Sukuna’s lips curled into a wicked grin, the kind that sent chills crawling down your spine. His eyes gleamed with something sharp and dangerous as he tilted his head, like a predator sizing up unexpected prey.

“You what?” he drawled, voice low and dripping with mockery.

But you didn’t flinch. You held his gaze, steady and unyielding, which only seemed to amuse him more. His grin widened, sharp canines glinting in the light.

“Actually… I’d like your help.”

The laughter that followed was deep and guttural, echoing off the walls like it belonged to something inhuman. Sukuna threw his head back, relishing the absurdity of your words. When he finally stopped, his gaze snapped back to you, eyes burning with cruel delight.

“You need my help?” he repeated, savoring every syllable like it was a joke only he understood. “Tell me, are you brave… or just stupid?”

He leaned in, so close you could feel the oppressive weight of his cursed energy pressing against your skin. “Do you have any idea what you’re asking for?” His voice dropped to a whisper, dark and velvety. “Because once you get it… there’s no going back.”
