Chapter Text
You were on a search for a new roommate, you had scrounged the web and craigslist in hopes of a decent one that hopefully wouldn’t murder you in your sleep.
You were getting extremely desperate. Your current one, Daisy, was terrible. She always had her filthy boyfriend over who would eat your food without asking and pretty obviously eyefuck you once you got out the shower not that she ever noticed..
She also never knew how to pay her share of rent on time. So when she told you she would be moving out soon and going to live with her boyfriend you were delighted
As you scarfed down on your goldfish you hoped someone would answer your prayers and you would find a good roommate.
You decided to not worry about it while you got ready for work. After putting your uniform on you got in your car preparing yourself for 8 long hours of torture.
Being a waiter doesn’t seem so bad except for the many annoying entitled rich customers you get. The tips pay well so you force yourself to put up with it. However this really isn’t the life you imagined for yourself being in your mid twenties.
It was rush hour you had been running from the kitchen and booths to take orders and deliver them.
Between dealing with entitled customers who felt the need to criticize every part of the meal possible and the creepy 50 year old guys old enough to be your father clearly staring at your ass and whistling as you walked by you yearned for an early break but you doubted you’re asshole of a boss, Naoya would give you one.
The cook who was also your friend Nobara looked at you with pity. You were pretty clearly exhausted and it felt nice for someone to notice you.
Eventually it was 8:00 pm and you were just about ready to go home. It was up to you to clean the kitchen, counters, mop and then you could finally sink into your bed and watch your favorite show while eating the leftover Chinese food you had for dinner last night.
You decided you would mop last since it was the most time consuming and after head home.
It should only take an hour or so, you thought. As you looked up at the tiny tv in the diner you could see on the news that apparently a criminal had escaped from the prison not too far away from your place for some reason, they hadn’t disclosed his name yet.
It brought chills down your spine but you tried to ignore it. I'm sure the police will find him, you thought.
Just as you finished mopping your roommate texted you that she would be staying the night at her boyfriend’s so don’t wait up for her. Perfect you would have the place to yourself tonight “Im really in need of a self care night anyways”
As you stepped outside you felt the cold chill of the night. You really wish you had a car rather than walking home in the dark of night, but you couldn’t afford it. As you took out your keys to unlock the door you noticed that it was already open slightly huh, weird. You walked up your stairs without giving it much thought thinking Daisy must’ve come back home for some reason oh how wrong you were just as you were about to open your door you saw it was already ajar and in your room was a man?!
He was going through your stuff and you could make out his pink hair and extremely muscular build. Broad shoulders stretch his frame. His chest was thick and solid, each breath he took subtly flexing the muscle beneath his shirt. When you got a good view of his arms you could see how long, powerful, and corded with muscle they were.
You get the sense he could crush you without breaking a sweat. He looked like he had prison sweats on as well. There’s no possible way this intruder could be the criminal from the news..right?
Trying not to make any noise you slowly backed up and ran to your door. You desperately needed to call the police and just as you were about to reach the door your hair was pulled and you were swung to the floor.
What the fuck is happening you thought… Unfortunately he had a black mask on so you had no way of identifying what his face looked like “Please don’t hurt me..” you said it came out more like a whisper you weren’t even too sure how you could murmur out a sentence without crying.
“And why shouldn’t I?” You were sure he probably had the most sinsiter grin on his face
“ I’ll give you money or whatever you want just please.. I don’t want to die..”
Just then you heard sirens outside of your door had a concerned neighbor seen him come into your home? Thank God.. you realized he was probably wondering the same thing but at the speed of light the intruder bolted you were okay thankfully but something told you this was unfinished business..
Seconds later you heard 3 knocks at your door when you opened it you saw a police officer he said that he has got a call about a suspicious looking man in your area who looked armed and had a black mask on and just wondered if you had seen or heard anything.
For some reason you said you hadn't, maybe it was just the fear of what would happen if you told the truth. Just based on his aura the intruder seemed like he could easily take out you and the single police officer without breaking a sweat.
As you attempted to go to sleep your mind couldn’t help but wander to what could’ve happened if the police officer hadn’t arrived. Eventually you gave into sleep.
You woke up to your alarm indicating it was 9:00 am, so you had an hour before you had to be at work so you immediately rushed to the bathroom
After taking a shower and getting ready you had 20 minutes so you immediately rushed out of your place with a bagel in your mouth and hoped you would be on time naoya would rip you a new one if you weren’t.
Luckily you made it with just 2 minutes to spare and mentally prepared for the exhausting customers as the hours flew by and things weren’t so bad.
You cracked a few jokes here and there with nobara and naoya wasn’t being such an ass. Things had been going smooth until yuki had received a call that was “urgent” so she couldn’t close and that left you.
It sucked but the extra money would help so you didn’t complain but you really didn’t want to walk home again at night after yesterday. You decided to suck it up.
Once the clock hit 8:00 pm you flipped the sign to indicate the diner was closed and got to cleaning once you’re finished you locked up and walked outside. It wasn’t as chilly as yesterday you thought you began walking the hairs on your neck stood up.. for some reason you felt like you were being watched.
No way y/n stop being paranoid you thought. Just keep walking. You decided to turn around foolishly and you could’ve sworn that you made out a figure in the dark that got you to start jogging a bit. When you got outside your door immediately took out your keys and unlocked the door.
Thankfully, Daisy was back home you never would’ve thought you would be so happy to see her and her douchebag boyfriend but you really were.
She wanted to have a little party with just the three of you because tonight would be the last night she lived here. She was officially moving out tomorrow you thought.
That just reminded you that you hadn’t looked at your emails yet. Someone could’ve potentially emailed you looking to fulfill the roommate position.
You decided you would just read your emails tomorrow. You drank a little with Daisy and had an okay time , but after her boyfriend kept staring at you after she got a bit tipsy you decided to go to
your room . He weirded you the hell out.
After taking a shower to wash the day off you were pretty tired and ready to head to bed. Sleep takes over you easily tonight . Daisy had officially moved out luckily it was a Saturday, your day off of work so you decided to check your emails thankfully you hadn’t forgotten.
You see an email from someone named [email protected] apparently he was instrested in the position and wondered if he could get a full tour of the apartment. You were overjoyed and immediately emailed back asking if today would be a good time for him. He emailed you a few minutes later and said 2:00 pm would be a great time for him.
The clock hits 2:00 and you hear a knock on your door immediately going to get it when you open the door you see a man standing roughly around 6’5 looking down at you with crimson red eyes and the most gorgeous pink hair. It also looked like he had intricate tattoos all over his body.
stop staring y/n let the nice guy into your apartment you thought.
“Hey sweetheart. My name is sukuna”
oh! yeah I know heh.
Hi, im y/n for some reason you could barely mutter that out without blushing
As you stepped aside to allow him to come into your home you couldn’t help but notice how good he smelled.
