Kimetsu No Yaiba x Reader (Alternate Universe)

Gyomei Himejima x Reader|| I'll Be There

Himejima was loved by everyone, he was so kind, he was strong, and he was smart. People loved him as well as you did. Though, when the week of Valentine's Day came around, people have faced great rejection. You were worried you might as well. As far as everyone knows, he doesn't have an obvious crush on anyone. So, to save yourself from heartbreak, you remained friends.

It was lunch time. There was Shinobu between Giyuu and Tengen. Tengen was getting hella Valentine's Day cards and gifts, he even brought his bag from last year to rub it in. Giyuu watched as only a couple people approached him to give him compliments they wanted to say and just cards. Shinobu was also flooded.  Across was Kyojuro who was beside Obanai and Mitsuri. Mitsuri had people approach then run because Obani gave a threatening aura from behind her. She felt sad that she didn't get any. Obanai though, gave her flowers yet she wished people loved her as much as she loved everyone back. (Dammit Obanai). Rengoku was given a Valentine's Crown as well as Gyomei and Tengen. You weren't gifted much but cards alongside Giyuu. Soon the overachiever who skipped grades, Muichiro arrived. He had a crowd following him to the table until he instructed they leave.

"Why is this time of year always crazy at this school..." he complained and sat down. He brushed some of Tengen's gifts to the floor.

"Wooooow."

"Don't you have a bag for that?" Shinobu asked.

Tengen opened it and junk sprung out.

"It's full.." he smirked.

"I don't think I can carry all this home!!" Rengoku announced with his arms crossed, laughing away. Mitsuri mimicked his laugh. Obani groaned, planting his head in the Valentine's Day piles. Giyuu sighed as well as you did beside Gyomei.

"I got each of you one anyways. Don't feel sad." Gyomei opened his bag and laid out small letters. "Me and My mother picked them out and wrote in them. You're all appreciated." They were all different sizes. You received a big envelope instead of just a card. How thoughtful. You hid it in your lap before Tengen could notice. He thinks he had the biggest card. Before anyone can read it out loud, the school announcement rung around school.

"Hello! Everyone! Surprise! We are having a School Dance over the weekend!! Bring your loved ones and have a good time! More information will be on the board by the exit gates.!"

Then that was it. Commotion between everyone began again over if they cared to go or not.

"Ooh! A dance! How fun!" Mitsuri spoke and smiled, she'd hold Obanai's hand lovingly which made him blush.

"I agree! It is fun to see new dance moves! I have some of my own too!!" Rengoku announced. Tengen would smirk and chuckle.

"It's time to pick my favorite! It is Gyomei's no offense! I just prefer—"

"One of your side chicks to answer you tonight?" Shinobu laughed under her breath. It made the rest of them chuckle except Muichiro and Giyuu.

"Hey! You're all aware that we're all cool!" He hit the table, making the cards & candy bounce up and down. "Stop giggling!"

You had turned to look up at Gyomei who was facing down before you noticed his hands shaky. Why was he nervous? You blushed from a sudden thought that'd came to mind. In the moment where it was only their attention on Tengen's situation, you had moved your hand to touch Gyomei's. Once your fingertip brushed against his knuckle before placing it down, Gyomei turned his palm and lightly held yours. You were shocked by his calm response. He didn't have a reaction till you saw his face shift into a cute smile.

'Such a gentle giant.' Thinking to yourself.

Lunch time came to a close and the last classes were to begin. You both let go of each other's hand. You had classes while the rest of the day was his free period. Usually he was to go home but Muichiro approached you before the start of next class.

"Dang, what was it I had to do..." he said before you. "Oh, right. Himejima wanted to meet you after your last period. I think the front gates." He said looking up as if he was searching in his head the information he was supposed to deliver. He then walked by and continued his day.

"Not going home? Hm. Alright..." you entered your class and went through the rest of your day nervous. You were procrastinating if you should even go because what was it? Did you fumble by being too direct? Yet.. he held yours. What if he's a freak....?

You slapped your face which startled your classmates.

"S-sorry..." you apologized and hid your face by looking out the window. Your class was where you could see the front gates, seeing as Himejima was by the fountain. He was approached but the girls left one after one. It was funny to watch because you knew exactly why they approached him. The dance had a lot of people excited since usually the school would not be so generous to hand this one out last minute. Finally, the bell rang.

You sprung up and headed down the great many of stairs. Not only were you excited to go home, kick your feet up on some games, or sleep; you were interested in what Himejima was tryna to present to you. He waited long enough. Once you out of the Greta many of students came to open the front doors, you see him ahead. You approached announcing his person.

"Himejima-saaan~.." you said sweetly and came before him. He turned to the direction of your voice and smiled small like earlier. It made you blush. Many students passed and eventually, your group of friends were to come out the doors too. He offered his hands to you and you took them slowly. "What is this about?" You questioned. Close to stuttering but you'd swallow and take a deep breath.

"(Y/n), it has been nice being your friend.Though, I would like to take you to the dance." The wind came which made the moment more magical, the sun gracing his face and yours nicely. You didn't speak, it was overwhelming. "I would like to take you to the dance... as more than a friend. If you don't mind being my date to the dance?" He finished his question. Your hand curled upon his then you came closer, looking up at him,. Your hands let go and reached up to bring him down to your level. A light peck on the lips before becoming a longer one. In the moment, your friends all came out of school.

They were whiling out there phones and being quiet while the two of you shared a moment.They saw as the two of you finally finished the kiss in daylight for everyone else to see.

"I'll be there, Gyomei." You smiled against his lips, he kissed you this time.
