~Chapter 37~

"Do I look like a baby to you? You do realize I know how to wash up by myself." You said, still pissed over the fact that Kyojuro decided joining you in the shower by surprise was a great idea. Kyojuro chuckled as he gently rubbed the soap onto your back.

"And what kind of boyfriend would I be if I don't spoil you?" Kyojuro asked softly, kissing your shoulder as you rolled your eyes, washing your hair. "Besides, I know you like it." He was right, but you weren't going to admit it that easily.

"No, I don't." You lied, turning to him as you started squirting some shampoo onto his bright colored hair, making him raise an eyebrow, "I just think it's fair that I help out with washing you as you helped me." You said casually. Kyojuro opened his mouth, almost replying to you only to get cut off by the sound of the bathroom door knocking, making both of you freeze.

"Erm... Aniki? Is (Y/N)... in the shower with you?" Senjuro's soft shy voice spoke up, causing Kyojuro to almost choke on air.

"Your brother just needed to use the toilet, Senjuro. He thought doing it right when I'm using the shower was a perfect idea." You called back, causing Kyojuro to shoot you a look. Senjuro stayed silent for a moment.

"Um... ok. I just want to let you guys know that breakfast is ready." The younger boy spoke up again.

"Sure! We'll keep that in mind!" You said as you heard the sounds of Senjuro's small steps vanishing.

"'Use the toilet'? Seriously (Y/N)?" Kyojuro asked, washing off the soap from your body as you shrugged, scrubbing the shampoo into Kyojuro's hair.

"It was a good save, don't you think?" You asked innocently. Kyojuro gave you a blank smile as he shook his head. You softly pulled on his hair, causing him to yelp before you finished off with him by washing his hair. "Anyway, the sooner we finish, the better. I feel like we've already made Senjuro uncomfortable just as it is." Kyojuro sighed as he buried his face into the crook of your neck, the warm water sprinkling over the both of you.

"I wanted to spend more time with you here." He complained, planting another kiss on your neck.

"You've got work, remember?" You pointed out, making Kyojuro pull away from you with a pout fixed on his face. What a man child... you rolled your eyes playfully as you softly kissed his lips. "I promise when both of us are free, you can stay in here with me for as long as you like." Kyojuro's eyes sparkled.

"If you say so!" He exclaimed, turning off the water as he grabbed a huge towel, wrapping it around the both of you, "Let's not keep Senjuro waiting and eat breakfast!"

"(Y/N)?" Senjuro spoke up as you hummed in response, looking up at him with a mouthful, "Are you... erm, an official demon slayer now or not yet?" Senjuro spoke up. You chuckled nervously, shaking your head.

"Not yet. The night breathing forms still need to be mastered, along with Total Concentration: Constant. I've also got an exam to take." You turned to Kyojuro, "Right. That one where you'll have to live in the Aokigahara forest for a week, correct?" Yes, the Aokigahara forest has long been regarded as a place where people go suicide, but that's just what most people thought. The bodies of those who died were never found because of suicide, but because of the people killed by demons. Kyojuro stayed silent for a few moments before shaking his head.

"You're correct about the exam being one key to joining the Demon Slayer Corps, but I doubt that you're going to take it. After all, you've already been helping Giyu kill demons now and then, and it seems like you would do so well on your own." You blinked in confusion.

"But how can you be so sure, Kyojuro? I need to take that exam to prove if I'm strong enough or not!" Kyojuro sighed.

"You are strong, (Y/N). But again, Oyakata-sama was already planning on letting you join the Demon Slayer Corps without the exam. He said he sees something in you that he has never seen in anyone else." you stayed silent, nodding slowly.

"But... it isn't fair for the other demon slayers. And it's most definitely not fair for those who died trying to join the Demon Slayer Corps." You mumbled.

"I know..." Kyojuro then looked up to you with a smile, "But let's focus on your breathing techniques for now, shall we?" you nodded, going back to eating your food. It was complete silence for a few moments before Senjuro broke it.

"Uhm... I have a question." Senjuro said shyly, avoiding everyone's gaze. Kyojuro hummed in response, letting the younger boy continue speaking, "Are you both going to have a baby?" you choked on your drink as Kyojuro swallowed his food incorrectly, making him start wheezing. Maybe you both were a little loud last night. But how? Kyojuro was sure Senjuro was still innocent. Or was he?

"W-What gave you such ideas, Senjuro?" Kyojuro asked with a smile plastered on his face, only his cheeks were bright red and sweat was forming on his forehead. Senjuro blushed as he looked down at his plate, poking at a piece of food with his fork.

"Zenitsu told me that if a girl and a boy make weird noises in their bedroom, it means they're going to have a baby. And... I think I heard sounds from your room last night." You didn't know whether you wanted to laugh or cry. Kyojuro blinked, making a mental note to deal with Zenitsu later as he chuckled nervously.

"Well um... (Y/N) and I were..." Kyojuro trailed, not knowing how to explain things to his younger brother. You decided it was your time to step in.

"We were just having a little pillow fight, Senjuro, that's all!" you exclaimed with a closed eye smile, "Your older brother was just going a little too rough on me with his pillow." You gave Senjuro a thumbs up and Kyojuro nodded, agreeing to whatever you were saying.

"So... Zenitsu was wrong about the way babies come?" Senjuro asked curiously. Kyojuro buried his face into the palm of his hands, not ready for being the one who'll have to explain the whole process to his younger brother. You blinked at him.

"Well Senjuro, I'm afraid the time for you to know the truth has come..." you sighed dramatically as Kyojuro turned to you with a shook expression, vigorously shaking his head. "The way babies come from, Senjuro, is quite interesting."

"R-really?" You nodded with a confident smile.

"It's true! You see, when two people are so deeply in love, they make meatballs! And that meatball grows into a baby inside the mother's belly!" You explained to him. Kyojuro blinked at you with his mouth half-open. "But! Don't tell that to anyone, ok? It's a secret." Senjuro nodded as Kyojuro shook his head.

"(Y/N), that's even worse than—"

"So! We've got school, right? We better hurry now." You smiled, clapping your hands together as you helped Senjuro pick up the dirty plates. Once Senjuro left to wash his hands. Kyojuro turned to you with a flat look.

"Where the hell did you get that idea?!" He exclaimed, almost fascinated, but that fascination was mostly hidden with shook. You lazily shrug your shoulders, drying the wet plate before setting it down.

"That's what Grangran told me when I asked her... but I most probably shouldn't have told the other kids..."
