My Little Lily (Gyutaro x reader)

Chapter Fourteen

I wanted to move, stretch my legs and arms out. But not only was I sore, someone was clinging onto me tightly, laying on top of my body. I slowly open my eyes and look down towards the warmth.

There was a blanket on top of us but tried to move around. Gyutaro had his legs wrapped around mine, arms around my waist and head against my chest. The sound of his breathing letting me know he was still sound asleep.

I wiggled my arm free, placing my hand on top of his head and brushing it with my fingers slowly. Though it appeared a little greasy, his hair was softer than what it looked. He growled quietly, burrowing his head further into my chest. I stopped, thinking the action was bothering him, removing my hand.

"Don't stop...." Was he awake this entire time? No matter, his response made me smile. I placed my hand back onto his head and gently brushed my fingers through his locks once more. It was just the two of us.

Or so I thought.

The door slammed opened, "when I'm knocking I need you to-.....eek!" The door slammed closed. We both froze. 'Was she knocking this entire time? No....she must've just walked in.' But Gyutaro proved my idea wrong, grumbling out. "I thought I heard someone knock....but I thought it was one of the girls just bringing you food."

He growls, sitting up and allowing the blanket to fall but making sure I was covered. "What do you want, Daki?" I quiet thump could be heard behind the door, I'm guessing she stomped her foot. "A little warning would be nice! I need you to hurry up and meet me in my room. We have a problem...." He sighed, slowly standing up and the blanket completely falling off of him.

I couldn't help but feel flustered, watching his muscles flex with every move. He turns to me and I felt myself blush harder than what I already was. I threw the blanket over my head, hoping he didn't see. What I wasn't expecting was to hear the door open and close quickly.

I poke my head out from underneath the blanket, no Gyutaro in sight. I sat up slowly, holding the blanket to my chest. "Did I....did I upset him...?"

*Gyutaro's POV*
I didn't want to leave her alone but if it's what I think, then this takes priority.

I walk into Daki's room, closing the door behind me. She was pacing the room, blush on her face but also a look of concern. She stopped pacing, once she noticed I was there. Her blush deepening as she points an accusing finger. "What makes you think it's okay to sleep with our prisoner?! She's also the enemy!" I tilt my head to the side, clearly confused.

She relaxes her arm, taking a deep breath in, folding her arms. "A hashira is here. The first three girls are caught but the bastard sent in three more. They've been snooping around and now it's time to get rid of them." She takes a deep breath in before continuing "I'm sorry to say this...but Y/N is one of them. I was able to get one of the girls to squeal. They were hoping to find her and send her back to the Demon Corps."

My chest felt tight. We already knew she was the enemy but it's been two months now. "However....Lord Muzan gave us permission to finish the process." This peaked my interest, I knew what she was talking about but would Y/N agree? When did Lord Muzan give us permission to turn her into a demon?

"She has to agree to become a full demon. Follow Lord Muzan's orders or she dies." I heard a quiet gasp before steps echoing the hallway. 'Now she knows....' I close my eyes, contemplating what we should do.

*Y/N POV*
I ran out of the building as fast I could. Tears threatening my eyes, I wiped them away quickly. How can I make a decision like that? I want to live but I'll betray my friends if I chose to do so. Or I face death. Who will kill me? Daki or Gyutaro...?

I ran to the outskirts of the village, leaning against the tree where Gyutaro saved me the first time. Allowing the tears to now fall. "What do I do, Gyutaro?"

I heard a quiet sigh from the other side of the tree. "I convinced Daki to give you three days, but we might have to fight before then" placing my hand over my heart "will you kill me....if I say no?" There was a strange silence that fell between us. Movement could be heard, I look to my side to see Gyutaro staring at me with sad eyes. "If that is your choice....yes"

I nod sadly, biting my bottom lip. "Will it hurt if I say yes?" He breaths in deeply before saying yes. I nod once more, not knowing what I wanted to do. "Either way....those demon corps brats will die" I look up, ready to protest but he was gone.

I fell to my knees, releasing a sob. "What do I do...?"

(A/N- I apologize for this being a day late. I thought I updated it but apparently it failed to post 😅)
