Author POV.

These two have always avoided each other as much as possible, and if they cross paths with no way out they never look at each other. All because of Ito confession

"When do you think they're gonna make up?"
By now everyone has been gossiping about the two, wondering why they haven't talked to each other like before. They both wanted to talk about it but the thought of talking to each other after that made them very flustered that they backed out

"When are you going to talk to him/her? It's been a while since you two have talked you know"
They looked away

"I'm trying but I can't"
They answered

"Well better hurry it up. We're all waiting here"
Hearing that they both felt their faces heat up. Ito decided to go for a stroll around the headquarters observing everything when suddenly she comes across some of the Hashiras which surprised her but not because of them but because Muichiro was with them, Ito was flustered right off the bat as her heart started racing and her face heating him

"Oh it seems we're busy, we'll have to leave you two alone. Bye!"
They hurriedly left, Ito who was still in that state looked at Muichiro in the eye only to panic and look away, not one decided to say anything

"H-hey"
Ito stuttered but finally said something

"H-hey"
Tho it was a bit quiet Ito could clearly hear what he had said

"It's been...a while since...we talked"
She could feel her face heat up so hot that she wished Muichiro wouldn't look at her cuz she was sure her face would resemble a tomato

"Yeah"
He agreed and silence fell once more

"I should go...I'm busy"
He said and Ito nodded then moved out of the way as he walked passed her, Ito looked at his face as he kept walking away and felt those same feelings ever since she saw him

"Do I really have to confess?"
They both said in their head, wondering if it's really worth it

Muichiro POV.

"You know, you should really confess to Ito, I'm sure she likes you too I mean she even confessed right?"
Tengen said as if it was the most obvious thing

"It's not that easy"
I said and they all looked shocked when I said that

"What?"
I said as if it was nothing, I mean what's there to be shocked

"You find that not easy? Muichiro? Did Muichiro finally find his match?"
They all said and I sighed, I was getting annoyed but didn't show it

"It's the one I love of course it won't be easy"
I said and sighed again

"Speaking of the devil, here she comes"
Ito? Why would she be-

"Ah Mitsuri-san can I please have your help? Ubuyashiki-sama told me to ask for your help"
Ito said, a bit awkward since all eyes were on her, she was never good with people. Now that I see it, Mitsuri-san and Ito sometimes act similarly like now how they're panicking because of something

"You should do this, and this, and maybe more of this, add this too, maybe lessen these..."
They went on talking about something I can't care to listen to, but also because I was too focused on staring at Ito to notice. The other Hashiras slowly and quietly left with those smirks on their face, Ito never noticed because she was too focused on what she was working on and I never said a thing to distract her

"She's really...beautiful"
I said in my head and she kept working on what she's doing until I was called for something, feeling annoyed I stood up and went to whatever it was. But when I returned I saw Ito was fast asleep but she suddenly woke up and I immediately hid behind the wall-wait...shy am I hiding? I heard Ito and a Kakushi conversing until Ito decided to clean up and leave

"Why am I nervous"
I asked myself but had no answer

Ito POV.

How could I fall asleep!!!

"Will I be able to finish this?"
I asked myself, actually I thought of drawing all the 9 pillars, Tanjiro and Nexuko, Inosuke, Zenitsu, Aoi and the three girls, Kanao, and everyone else because I suddenly felt like it so I asked Ubuyashiki-sama if I could get some materials and now I'm drawing them. I'm still working on my painting but it looks like this:

"It's okay! I can do this!"I slapped my cheeks and was fired up once more to finish this painting

Author POV.

Ito solely focused on the painting that she did not realize that she had already fell asleep the moment she finished the painting. Someone knocked on the door multiple times before just entering, it revealed to be Muichiro who was about to call out her name when he saw her fast asleep with her head on top of the painting. He closed the door quietly and walked up to her, pushing back a few strand of hairs behind her ear thinking of how beautiful she looks like, then he looked over at the finished painting and was blown away tho it only slightly showed on his face. Ito suddenly made noise and woke up, she was still a bit sleepy tho

"Good morning sleepyhead"
Muichiro greeted and Ito just looked at him without uttering a word, as if not thinking of even a single thought

"Huh? Oh morning"
Ito said in her morning voice and stretched

"It looks like you've finished the painting. Looks pretty nice"
Muichiro showed a smile which Ito returned

"Thank you, I'm thankful it came out nice"
She said

"Are you gonna give this to Ubuyashiki-sama?"
He asked and Ito nodded

"I'll help"
He said and they both carried the big painting to where Ubuyashiki-sama was

"Oh my, it's very beautiful Ito. Thank you"
Ito smiled and started falling not until Muichiro caught her

"She must have worked all night for this. Take her back to her room Muichiro"
Muichiro nodded and started carrying her princess style
