~Chapter 45~

Kyojuro stared at your sleeping form next to him, gently tucking a strand of (H/C) hair behind your ear. He noticed how he has awakened at such an early time, but for some reason, he wasn't able to fall back asleep. Instead, he simply watched you sleep, not in a creepy way, of course.

Kyojuro felt concerned for you, especially after what happened earlier. Tears refused to stop pouring down your face and you kept shaking. You kept holding onto his sleeve as well as if he was about to disappear any second. Kyojuro gently pulled you closer to him, causing you to softly stir in your sleep.

This wasn't the first time. The same thing happened a few months ago. Kyojuro figured that you have probably seen him in your dream. The only question was, what happened? What is it you saw that caused you to immediately break down? Kyojuro was able to see how clear the pain in your eyes was. He took a deep breath, hugging you softly as he slowly closed his eyes. He promised himself that as long as he was alive, he won't let anything hurt you.

You tried to slowly shift your position only to feel a strong arm around your waist. You opened your eyes to find Kyojuro sleeping right in front of you. You slowly embraced the blond, placing your head on the crook of his neck. Warm... he's like a cozy fireplace during a cold winter night... you thought to yourself. You stayed in your stance for a few moments before pulling away, noticing how there was a frown fixed on Kyojuro's face.

You've noticed how Kyojuro's eyebrows were always slightly frowning whenever he slept, even though he was smiling all the time when he was awake. You softly caressed the area over his eyebrows with your thumb, the side of your lips slightly curving into a small smile. "If you keep frowning like that, Kyojuro, you'll have wrinkles when you grow old..." you whispered as you kissed his forehead, causing him to slightly stir in his sleep, grunting softly. You slightly smiled wider, only for Kyojuro to hug you tightly, tackling you so that he was now on top of you. He softly placed his head on the crook of your neck, kissing it. You felt your face heat up when Kyojuro's warm breath hit your neck.

"Good morning, sunshine." Kyojuro smiled at you. You swallowed the lump forming in your throat.

"Good morning, Kyo." You said, smiling slightly. Your cheeks were still softly tainted with pink. Kyojuro chuckled as he rolled back beside you, not letting go. He wanted to ask you about what happened last night, but it seemed like you were in a good mood, and he didn't want to ruin it. He simply hugged you. You wrapped your arms around him, closing your eyes and hugging him back. Maybe a few more minutes with your boyfriend won't hurt, right?

Kyojuro's phone started ringing, causing you both you jolt up from your position. Kyojuro gave you an apologetic look and turned to grab his phone, only for Uzui's voice to exclaim from the other side.

"Where the hell are you?! It's a Monday!!" Uzui yelled. Kyojuro smiled blankly.

"Good morning to you too, Tengen! How are you?" Kyojuro said. Uzui sighed.

"Oh, I would be doing better if your girlfriend was here." Uzui said bluntly. "She hasn't decided to show up either, and it's almost nine! I have no one to clean the—" Uzui paused. "You both take your time. I'll let the others know you're busy, don't worry." Both you and Kyojuro's eyes widened. You quickly took the phone from Kyojuro's hands.

"UZUI YOU SON OF A—"

"(Y/N)!!!" You heard a familiar voice cry out loud as you were on your way to the vending machine for a quick snack. You turned around, finding Zenitsu running to you with tears falling down his face like waterfalls, behind him was Tanjiro trying to calm him down and Inosuke who seemed to be laughing at the yellow-haired boy. You mustered up a confused smile.
