A/N: It's been over a year since this was updated but, no longer on hiatus! I am ready to continue this story and hopefully get it completed before 2023 is over! I just had no motivation to write this and I am a scatterbrain who jumps from fandom to fandom with so many ideas!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You decided to take some time for yourself. Being with people was amazing and all but, self-care, self-love and just you overall were important and, you needed to make yourself a priority. You loved yourself after all.
"I need to buy all of my hair care products, face care, hygiene stuff..." You started mumbling as you wrote down the list on your phone. You had money saved up for everything and the couponing definitely helped you save so much money. You don't think the crazy coupon lady is actually that crazy she is just crafty. The crafty coupon lady. You grabbed your reusable bags, clipped your coupons, and headed out to the beauty supply store. They normally had everything so you didn't have to go to a drug store or something and spend an extra three dollars for the same exact item. You got your own rent to pay. Exiting your home you walked to the beauty supply store and grabbed your stuff. It was a chain beauty supply store so your coupons would work. In the end, when you had over a hundred dollars worth of stuff you ended up paying only fifteen dollars. The best investment you ever had.
"Have a good day." The man behind the counter was not happy but, there was nothing that could be done. He couldn't just remove the coupons since he was not the boss he was simply a worker who was upset he didn't think of doing couponing first.
"Thank you, sir." You left excited to wash your hair and, take a nice relaxing bath with candles burning to illuminate the bathroom. You deserved it. It didn't take you long to make it back home and when you did, you locked and closed the windows and immediately stripped naked. You put a load of clothes into the washer/dryer combo since the place came with it and went to grab everything you needed for self-care. You decided to take a quick shower first to wash your hair mostly before turning it off and filling the tub up. You haven't soaked in a bath in so long that you just knew your body and joints were going to appreciate it more than anything. You used your favorite bath scents and while the tub filled up, you placed candles around the tub, the toilet bowl cover, and the sink as well as putting bubble bath. Just as you were about to get in your phone rang. You looked and saw it was Akaza so you answered quickly.
"Hey Y/N! How's it going?" As sweet as he was usually right now you needed time for yourself
"I am having a self-care day and right now I am naked in my bathroom, I'll call you later love." You hung up quickly and set up music to play as you took in a deep breath before settling into the tub sighing at the way the hot water seeped into your muscles. This is what you needed, everyone deserved to have moments like this no matter how 'rich' or 'poor' they may be. This was a luxury worth spending on, doing something to take care of your mind, body, and soul, something that brings you peace within yourself and within your personal safe space. "This feels so good." The rest of the afternoon went by with you, going through your skincare, cleaning up the home as well, and ordering your favorite food as well. You had coupons to use. It was about 8 PM when you decided to check with Akaza to see if he was busy or not to talk for a bit.
"Hey Kaza, I am finally relaxed eating some pasta and garlic knots, are you free to talk?" Within a couple of minutes, he called and the two of you talked on the phone for roughly an hour before calling it a night. You decided to end this spectacular day by getting comfy on the pull out couch/bed thing and leaving the TV playing. If you fell asleep you didn't have to worry about being uncomfortable, you had pillows, sheets, food, snacks, drinks, and lastly the remote. You're perfect. This day was perfect.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Since summer break had just started and you really had nothing of importance to do until the end of August and it was mid-May you didn't have to worry or rush into doing things. You decided again that today you were going to be by yourself and stay home to do things around the house, watch TV, make a new meal, and go on all of your electronic devices for the heck of it. It was something to keep your mind occupied and the outside world was not very appealing to you right now. You found a horror series to binge on Netflix. You had breakfast already and watched three episodes before deciding to go and make something for lunch which was a simple sandwich with chips and water, not too filling but, enough to hold you until it was time to make dinner. You saw this easy chicken bites with mac n cheese recipe that was cheap and filling. You enjoyed looking on websites like food networks, budget-bytes, or even on social media for different, cheap food recipes. You weren't picky. You were currently on the phone with Mitsuri who said she will go grocery shopping with you.
"I need to buy groceries anyway! Obanai loves my cooking and you know how much I love to eat" You were well aware of that and you swore Obanai worked extra hours just so she can eat and cook as much as she wants. It was both extremely sweet as well as goals how much he loves her. How much they love each other, to be honest.
"I'll meet you in the front in 10 minutes." The grocery store was right down the block so you hung up and grabbed your stuff as well as your shopping cart and headed out the door. It was a beautiful day out and you were thinking about your friends who graduated wondering how they were doing with their jobs and if they liked it. You think Muzan and Kokushibo enjoyed it, then again a brick has more expression than them at times. By the time you made it to the supermarket Mitsuri was there by herself so you figured Obanai was working or doing something else. He enjoyed going with Mitsuri no matter how mundane it may have been.
"Hi Y/N!" She grabbed you up into one of her tight hugs talking a mile a minute but, you were able to catch up and stay there with her. Her energy was contagious and you found yourself just as excitable as her as the two of you went down the aisle by aisle grabbing food. You had one cart and she had two packed to the rim just for her and Obanai. You loved it. As the two of you finished and waited online you ignored the woman behind you talking about all the food that Mitsuri was getting. It really pays to mind your business.
"She looks entirely too young to have children so maybe all of that food is for her siblings? She's such a thin thing too I hope she eats." She had no idea just how much Mitsuri can eat. The two of you paid for your groceries and you packed all of yours into your shopping cart as you walked with her to the car to put all of her food away.
"Are you sure you don't need a ride?" You shook your head at her generosity.
"No, no! I'm right down the block, you go home, and cook for you and Obanai! Send me pictures and let me know how much he loved it" She giggled waving to you as you left and you listened to her get in the car and drive away. You listened to music as you walked slowly back home and once home, you took all the bags upstairs to your apartment first and then grabbed your shopping cart last. Once inside you put up all the bags and had leftover takeout not in the mood to make anything. You didn't have anything else dire to do so you spent the rest of the day relaxing.
