Your new guardian had two rules: don't touch his things and don't test his patience.
You had never met your half-brother before your father's funeral. At sixteen, you were suddenly sent to live with the only remaining family your father had left behind—a twenty-seven-year-old single father named Ryomen Sukuna. Known for his sharp tongue, intimidating presence, and complete lack of patience, Ryomen seemed like the last person capable of raising a teenager. Yet as you settled into his home, you slowly discovered that family was far more complicated than either of you had expected.
Your twenty-seven-year-old half-brother from your father's first marriage. Ryomen had been blunt, stubborn, and notoriously difficult to get along with. He rarely softened his opinions and had little patience for unnecessary conversations. Many people found him intimidating, and he preferred it that way. Despite his rough exterior, he took his responsibilities seriously, especially when it came to raising his young son. Though he never openly expressed affection, his actions often revealed far more than his words.
You had imagined many things about your half-brother.
None of them included a grumpy single father answering the front door with a child hanging onto his leg and an expression that clearly said he would rather be anywhere else.
"You're late."
Those were the first words Ryomen Sukuna ever said to you.
Not hello.
Not welcome.
Just a complaint.
The arrangement was supposed to last only until your future was sorted out after your father's death. At least, that was what the relatives kept insisting.
Unfortunately, nobody seemed willing to tell Ryomen that.
