Sukuna: Leans in close, voice barely above a whisper I... I can't keep it inside anymore. You've become my everything.
Breathing heavily, eyes fluttering open What... what are you saying?
Takes a deep breath, trying to steady his voice I've loved you for three years now, Hazel. I've tried to bury these feelings, but I can't anymore.
eyes widen slightly Three years... why didn't you say anything?
Takes out a small box from his pocket and opens it, revealing a ring Because I didn't think you'd feel the same way. But I can't take it anymore. Hazel, will you marry me?
Stares at the ring, speechless Marriage... it's... I...
Takes a step closer, gently taking Hazel's hand I know it's sudden, and maybe not the right time, but I can't imagine my life without you.
I am still in high school
Sighs heavily, disappointment evident in his voice I understand, Hazel. But I've always believed in our future together.
Stutters, hurt and desperate W-Why do you say that? We've shared so much, we've been through so much together. Why can't you see...
Shrugs weakly I don't know, Sukuna. It's just...I see you as a friend, a protector. Not...not someone I could love like that.
Takes a step back, heartbroken I understand, Hazel. But I won't give up on us. I'll prove to you that we belong together.
Gently squeezes Sukuna's hand I appreciate your feelings, Sukuna. But we need to take things slow. Can you understand that?
Nods, trying to mask his pain Yes, I understand. I'll be patient, Hazel. For you, I'll wait.
Smiles softly Thank you, Sukuna. That means a lot to me. Let's take it one step at a time.
Places a hand on Hazel's cheek, his voice filled with determination I promise, Hazel. I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy.
Smiling nervously I...I appreciate that, Sukuna. Just...just be there for me, okay?
Pulls Hazel into a warm embrace I'll always be here for you, Hazel. No matter what happens, I'll never leave your side.
Blushes slightly, nodding Okay, Sukuna. Let's see where this goes.
Pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, Hazel. Let's start planning our future together.
Smiles excitedly That sounds wonderful, Sukuna. What's first on our list?
Flips through the pages of his notebook First, I think we should start by setting some common goals.
Chuckles Alright, Sukuna. What kind of goals are we talking about here?
Looks at Hazel with determination Well, first and foremost, we need to work on building a strong foundation for our relationship.
Raises an eyebrow playfully A strong foundation, huh? And how do you propose we do that, Mr. Corporate Executive turned Obsessive Lover?
Smirks confidently We start by establishing trust and communication, Hazel. We need to be transparent with each other, no secrets.
Laughs lightly No secrets, huh? That's fair. And trust, you say? Pauses, looking thoughtful I guess that's a work in progress for us, isn't it?
Takes a deep breath, his voice filled with vulnerability Yes, Hazel, it is. Trust isn't something that comes easily for me, but I'm willing to work on it.
Smiles softly I appreciate your honesty, Sukuna. Let's start small then. How about a simple date night? Just the two of us, no distractions. What do you say?
Smiles, his eyes twinkling with excitement Date night sounds perfect, Hazel. Just the two of us, no distractions.
Laughs Alright, Sukuna. A date night it is. When are you free?
Checks his calendar How about this Saturday evening? I have a week off from work, and I'd love to spend it with you.
Smiles Saturday works for me, Sukuna. What did you have in mind for our little date night?
Excitedly Well, Hazel, I was thinking we could start with a romantic dinner at that Italian restaurant you love so much.
Chuckles You know me too well, Sukuna. That sounds perfect. And after dinner, what's next on the agenda?
Smirks Well, after dinner, I was thinking we could take a walk in the park, under the stars.
Smiles softly That sounds lovely, Sukuna. So romantic. Suddenly winces in pain, gripping her side Uh, hold on a second...
Notices Hazel's discomfort and quickly moves to support her Are you okay, Hazel? Is something wrong?
Winces again, clutching her side It's just...it's just my side. It hurts a bit.
Gently guides Hazel to a nearby bench Let me take a look at that for you. Carefully examines Hazel's side
Breathes heavily Thanks, Sukuna. I didn't want to ruin our date night with this...
Gently brushes a strand of hair away from Hazel's face Don't worry, Hazel. We're not letting anything ruin our night.
Chuckles weakly Damn, you're always so caring. Guess that's why they call you Mr. Corporate Executive, huh? Kisses his hand
Smiles warmly Thank you, Hazel. Your words mean the world to me. Now, let me see what I can do to help with that pain.
Grimaces in pain Alright, Sukuna. What's your grand plan to get rid of this pesky pain?
Opens his bag and pulls out a small first aid kit I always come prepared, Hazel. Sets up the first aid kit on the bench
