Taken (muzan x reader)

5. His return

It had been a week since Muzan had visited me. I awaited him every night, and went to that pond with his white hat. My ankle had healed up and every sign of a fall had disappeared.

Not much had happened while Muzan was away. Just the usual occurrences. My older brother cooking for me and my mother. Me sneaking out every night to meet with Muzan, who never showed.

I was starting to lose hope. Although he had left his hat here, promising that he'd be back. I would go out one more night and then after that point i'd let him come to me.

Once my family fell asleep and the lights were all off, I put on my clothes and snuck through the house.

Trying my best not to make any noise I crept through my house, occasionally stepping on cracks which made me freeze. After nothing happened I would continue.

I left my house in a hurry with the white fedora in hand. I was excited to see him, if he'd even show up. He intrigued me. There was something about him that made me feel like i'd known him my whole life. Maybe that was just his personality though. He was insanely charming and I was sure any girl who spoke with him would fall for his good looks and charm, myself included.

I could tell he was sweet. He took the time to bandage up my ankle the other night with no hesitation. He even left the fish he had worked to catch. I got so distracted thinking about muzan I hadn't realized I didn't know where I was. I looked around me. I had walked around these woods a thousand times and now of all times I'm lost?

I panicked and started running. We knew of the existence of demons plus there were wolves around. I was always fine if i knew where I was since the house was within walking distance but now I was completely and utterly lost.

The more I ran the less familiar everything seemed to get. My mind started to spin. Oh no. What if muzan is coming tonight and i'm not there. What if i get stuck out here and I cant make my way back. I don't know which direction i'm going.

Tears started streaming down my face the more I panicked. Calm down. I heard a voice in my head. It was deep and soothing and reminded me of my dads voice. I stopped and spun around but nobody was there. I kept checking behind me. Go to your left, and keep walking. I didn't know where this was coming from but it was the only thing I had so I listened.

I did what the voice said and turned to my left and broke into a run. I ran for about 15 minutes before things started to get more familiar. I finally knew where I was. From here it was only a few minutes to the pond. I stopped to catch my breath, heaving heavy sighs and bending over. Once I had regained my breath I immediately started into a run again. I was anxious to find muzan if I could.

Suddenly something to my right caught my eye. It was yellow and...looking closer it looked like a pair of eyes-

My face met something soft and I fell backwards. I landed on my butt and hit the ground with a huff.

The thing I ran straight into turned around. The first thing I saw was the red eyes and immediately I knew.

Muzan. I smiled, jumped up and hugged him.

He staggered back as I jumped into him and reluctantly put his arms around me.

"You have a talent for clumsiness don't you~"

I laughed

"I guess"

I suddenly realized I was holding onto him a lot longer than was appropriate. I jumped down, clearly embarrassed.

"I-i'm sorry I just got lost and I was scared a-and it's nice to see you"

"Don't worry, you can do that whenever you please. I'm sorry for not coming sooner in the week, I had some business to attend to in tokyo. Now that it's all cleared up, I can visit."
