🌸Falling Flowers🌸 || Sanemi Shinazugawa

🌺

The demons head landed beside Sanemi, its eyes looking up at him before closing. Sanemi kicked the head away, disgusted at the fact that it would look at him.

He looked up at the sky, and noticed how close the sun was to rising.

He scowled, he at least wanted to get a few hours of sleep before he had to go back to the his own place. He liked the smell of your flowers, they were peaceful.

Sanemi shook his head, clearing his mind. He needs to get back to your place so you wouldn't think something was up.

He sheathed his katana and ran towards your place, hopefully making it back before you woke up and opened your shop.

He made it back just a hour before you had to get up to start opening your shop, so he quickly get ready to sleep. Sanemi has gotten less sleep before, so an hour wasn't going to do much to him.

He sighed, hearing you open your door from down the hallway and walk past his door. You didn't say anything as you went down the stairs, leaving him to his own devices.

He closed his eyes, already feeling his body getting pulled into sleep.

You unlocked the door to your shop and flipped the sign on the door from closed to open. You sighed, smoothing out your clothes.

As you went behind the counter, you heard the door open. "Hello! Welcome to Y/n's Flower Shop, what would you like?" You asked.

"Hey there Y/n-san!" Mitsuri's voice rang through your ears, making you smile.

"Mitsuri-san! It's good to see you so soon! Did Iguro-kun like the flowers?" You asked, going out from behind the counter to hug the loveable female.

Mitsuri nodded. "Iguro-kun loved the flowers, and so did his snake friend, Kaburamaru. I saw him put them in a vase on his window seal!"

You were glad. "I'm happy that he likes them. Also, I have a friend? I think I can him that, but his name is Sanemi-kun and he's upstairs, sleeping." You rubbed the back of your neck. "Do you know him?"

Mitsuri looked surprised. "Yeah, I do know him. I'm surprised he hasn't tired to kill you yet out of something you did wrong."

You chuckled. "He can try, but I doubt he knows anything about flowers."

Mitsuri nodded. "Anyway, I came in here for a reason. Oh right, I wanted to give to rest of my friends some flowers!"

You brightened. "Okay! How many baskets to I need to prepare?" You asked, going back to the counter to put baskets off to the side.

You saw Mitsuri counting on her fingers out of the corner of your eye. You smiled, knowing that you'd make more people happy with your flowers.

"Nine baskets, please." Mitsuri said.

You were shocked. "Only nine? You seem like somebody who would have more friends than that."

Mitsuri laughed. "Yes, that's true. One of my friends are right in front of me, but it would be such a waste to give flowers to someone who owns and sells flowers for a living."

You stopped working and stared at Mitsuri. "Mitsuri-san!!" You wailed. "I'm one of your friends?!"

Mitsuri nodded and smiled. "Yes, I consider you one of my closest friends."

You hugged her tightly, Mitsuri hugging you back.

You wiped away the happy tears and brushed off your clothes. "Okay, I better get started on making these baskets."

A door opened in the back and Sanemi walked out of it, running his hand through his hair. You noticed him and smiled.

"Hello Sanemi-kun! Did you rest well?" You asked.

Sanemi stopped in his tracks and nodded. He noticed Mitsuri.

"I should've expected seeing you here." He said.

Mitsuri smiled at him. "Good morning to you too Sanemi-kun!"

You chuckled. "What are your friends names so I can write them down in each basket?"

Mitsuri turned her attention to you. "Oh! There is," She started to list off everybody in the Hashira group, only Sanemi knowing who each of them were.

"And that should be everyone," She looked at Sanemi. "Unless I'm missing someone Sanemi-kun?"

Sanemi shook his head. "Nope, you listed off everyone."

You nodded, setting the notebook that you used to write everyone's name down. "I'll start working on the baskets! You will have to come in tomorrow, by then all of them should be done."

Sanemi sighed. "I'm back to Master to see if he has anything for me." He said to Mitsuri.

Mitsuri nodded. "Please don't take too long on your missions, you have a wonderful person who will be waiting for you."

Sanemi rolled his eyes and left the building, running off. Mitsuri smiled at you.

You gave her a questioning look but she only brushed it off.

Mitsuri bowed and she made her way back to the door to the store. "By the way, the wonderful person I was talking about it you."

She left the building, leaving you to only stare at her as she left your line of sight.

Blush grew in your face as your brain comprehended the words she had said. You shook your head.

"No, no, we has only known each other for a few days!" You chuckled, now speaking to yourself. "There's no way that he likes me."
