My Life As A Demon Slayer Corps Member

Chapter 9

Author POV.

Today was the day Muichiro nervously waited for the most, he privately asked every Hashira how to do this despite not wanting to, he also asked Tanjiro but all they told him was "You don't need it, it'll just work out"

"This is so troublesome"
He whispered under his breath when suddenly he saw Ito which brightened his mood

"Ito"
Muichiro called out to her and she looked his way and greeted him with a smile he always loved to see

"Tokito!~ Good afternoon"
He always felt calm and relaxed whenever he's with her, he tried finding out what reason made him feel like this but he never found out the reason

"Ah! Kanao yeah I'll be there in a minute"
Is she going somewhere?

"Sorry Tokito, I'm off on a mission with the trio and Kanao. I promise I'll make it up to you when I get back. Bye~"
Feeling her arms wrap around me made it feel like my heart was about to burst. I was silent to know that these emotions could really make someone feel like this

"It's fine"
I said and returned her hug but was left stunned when I suddenly felt her lips on my cheek, I couldn't say anything because she ran off, but that one single action was enough to make me want more. Funny how my thoughts have changed ever since I met her

"Ah Muichiro h-how is everything going with Ito?"
Mitsuri asked with Obanai behind her, they're always together

"It's been fine, we still haven't talked about what happened that time"
I answered

"W-when are you two going to talk about it?"
She asked and I sighed

"When she gets back"
I answered and they left. This gives me more time to think of a confession, hah this is so troublesome

Back at Muichiro's place
Muichiro POV.

"Y-your see..."
"Well I like you too-that doesn't sound right"
"Are you gonna say anything about that? That sounds too mean"
"I-...hah this is so stupid, why am I even doing this"
I practiced over and over again as to how I am going to confront Ito about her confession but I couldn't think of anything

"Muichiro-san has been practicing all day. Huhuhu I'm rooting for them"
I heard the whispers of the Kakushis but ignored it because it was not important

"You're working hard"
I looked over and saw the Water Hashira

"What do you want"
I said and he just stared at me with a straight face. What a weirdo

"You seem like you need help"
I looked back at him

"I don't need help with something so trivial"
I said and got up to leave but

"It's about you and Ito right?"
I stopped and looked back at him

"Why don't you just say whatever is on your mind?"
He said

"And how would-"
He decided to cut me off

"Meeting Tanjiro has made me realize a lot of things and I thought this might help you. Well that was all"
He said and left, just say whatever is on my mind? That is messy but...that could work, I can't believe I'm taking his advice

"I really want to talk to you Ito so come home early please"
I said looking up at the moon, wanting to talk to her so I can just make her my lov-...

"Wait hold on...what did I just think"
There is no way I have ever thought of that

"There's no way a girl has made me say that"
I was deep in shock with that certain thought. I mean what was I expecting, we have you can say mutual feelings so of course it's only natural that you'd want that person to be your lover right? Right???
