[While it was certainly true that proximity and shared interests tended to breed affection, Sukuna nevertheless found it a bit surprising that Nimah had bothered to confess at all. The very large and looming issue of Muchi aside, Sukuna had never thought he would be someone that Nimah would go for. For some reason he would have thought Nimah would want someone more... mature or refined or taller.

So he couldn't help but meet the confession with a few moments of startled silence, before he reached out to put a hand on Nimah's arm.]

I'm very flattered, but complications aside, I'm not looking for anything serious.

[This was normally about the point of his pitch he braced himself for outbursts, but Nimah wasn't the type, so he added:]

But if you're just looking for companionship, I can provide that.

[He sure was sliding his hand up Nimah's very toned and defined arm. Did he have a bit of a weakness for them? Yes, but what was anyone going to do? Hold it against him or sue him?]
