▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

after you woke up from being unconscious for three days, you had locked yourself up in your room. the upper moons were getting worried for your well-being. but they didn't want to irritate you, so they left you alone.

two days passed and you had never once stepped out of the room. it was almost two in the morning that night and kokushibo happened to be around the infinity fortress.

he knew how stubborn you were, but he was actually starting to worry about you. he walked up to the room you were in and knocked on the wooden door.

as expected, he was greeted with silence.

letting out a sigh, he knocked again. "[y/n]... you can't stay in there forever..."

he could sense your presence, he knew you were awake. you were simply just ignoring him. and he didn't like that.

"[l/n]."

you furrow your brows when you heard his voice in the room. you really wanted to be alone and he just walked in like that.

not to mention, you haven't slept in days and it was adding on to your bad mood.

kokushibo could tell how tired you were just by one look.

"[y/n]... you need to take care of yourself..."

"..."

you didn't want to sleep. everytime you closed your eyes, the image of kurai getting killed was the only thing you could see.

"[y/n]..."

"..." you simply turned away from him.

with a defeated sigh, upper moon one made his way over to where you were seated on the bed. he placed himself behind you, and before you could move away from him, he had successfully pulled you into his lap.

your eyes widened at the sudden close contact and you attempted to push yourself away. but his strong arms wrapped itself around your waist, pulling you back.

"stop it [y/n]... you need to rest..."

"i'm not tired. fuck off," you placed your hand on the arms around you, trying to push them away. but he was obviously much stronger than you, so it was no use. not to mention, you haven't eaten at all, making you weaker.

"... you are though..."

"shut up. let go."

"it's... kurai... isn't it..?"

"kokushibo. stop talking about him."

your voice had became softer after he mentioned your old friend. "i told you... kurai knew it was going to happen..." kokushibo explained.

"it wasn't as if... he died with regrets... of not being able to protect you..." kokushibo knew what he was saying was working as he felt your body relax against his.

"but, he was crying..." you muttered out.

"he was just glad... that he managed to save you... this time..."

you felt tears brimming your eyes, your hands subconsciously clutching onto kokushibo's kimono. "it's my fault he died..." you muttered, burying your face into his chest, not wanting him to see you cry.

you felt him place a hand on your head as he ran his fingers through your soft (h/c) hair. "you... honestly couldn't have done anything... back then..."

kokushibo wasn't the best at making people feel better. after all, he had his own insecurities that even he himself didn't know how to get over. he knew how consuming that negative feeling could be. and he didn't want to see you get overwhelmed by it.

you relaxed yourself in his hold. it was so warm and comfortable being held like that. with one arm around your waist and the other on your head, he continued to reassure you of everything.

your eye lids felt heavy as you leaned your head against his chest. listening to his deep but soft voice speak to you.

his voice slowly started going in and out as sleep clung onto you. and before you knew it, you finally got the sleep you very much needed.
