My Time As A Demon Slayer (Kimetsu No Yaiba x Male Reader)

Her Point Of View (CH.20)

Shinobu's Pov

A couple hours earlier

Right after me and Y/N basically crashed into each other and instantly backed away in awkwardness, we both seemed to be quite embarrassed, so we took care of everything there was to take care of in that room and went right into the next one.

Honestly, the feeling of leaving the same room as Y/N was pretty calming. Not like I hated him now or anything, but the stress of the situation was pretty tiring already, and I just didn't have the strength nor the energy to deal with it at the time, so I preferred to talk everything down with him at some other point, rather than right now, however, there were a couple of people not willing to wait for us, Kanao and Aoi.

I was certain Kanao wouldn't really ask any questions to Y/N, but I knew her, and I knew just how intrusive her gaze could be, and how it basically forces you into speaking anything out loud. As for me, I had to deal with Aoi. She was way less mind intrusive than Kanao, but that was only because her approaching method is directly intrusive instead.

Just once we left the room, not even making that Y/N or Kanao could hear us, she immediately started asking away. "What was that?! Did something happen between the two of you?! ARE YOU GUYS IN LOVE?!!!" I was mostly shrugging her off, but not only was she starting to get pretty intense with her tone of voice, but also, this last question was just triggering for me.

I immediately backed off in surprise, and as I turned around to look at her, I said. "Wow! Slow down there, little miss. I assure you that nothing that serious has happened between the two of us." She of course didn't believe me, and just stood there, looking at me with a big pout on her face. "We were just, you know, avoiding any accidents from happening. We already had one today, I'm sure Y/N wouldn't want to repeat the same situation from before." I explained, and then tried to go back to the task at hand.

She again didn't seem to believe me, but I was hoping she would at least let it be for the time being, but she of course didn't. "I don't think he would mind at all. He's fairly clumsy to think that ahead." I tried to be unfazed by this, but I wasn't able, and instead allowed some of my old antics to escape through.

"Well, maybe he changed a bit or something!" I lightly exclaimed, however, even I could notice that I sounded angrier than I would've liked, and honestly, I wasn't even annoyed, at least not with her. "That's at least more probable than him liking me or anything..." I said in a melancholic tone, but hearing me speak this way, I questioned myself. 'Since when do I care about him liking me?!' "I mean, it's not like I like him either! He's just a friend from a while ago! We all know that don't we?!" I lightly exclaimed, almost as if answering to myself, but also turning to look at Aoi for her approval.

She just looked at with some kind of disapproval or doubt, and then said, in a quite sarcastic tone if I may say. "Do we really know it? I mean, you've been acting rather weirdly ever since he came back." This took me back, and I even jolted a bit, while she just kept talking. "Yesterday the two of you woke up in the same room, which is quite odd, seeing as Y/N does have an assigned room for himself. You mentioned an accident happening earlier as well, something that you normally wouldn't allow to happen, as you can easily catch falling dishes this days, and since Y/N has done similar training to yours, I would assume pretty much the same for him. And finally, surely taking some precautions is useful, but I think I speak for everyone when I say that what you two do is a tad bit ridiculous." Honestly, everything that she said was pretty spot on, and if it wasn't for that fact that those statements were being used against me, I would be pretty impressed by her.

This was getting embarrassing already, and I didn't even know what to say, so I just rubbed the back of my neck, and looked at the floor, almost as if waiting for anything else to happen right now. "*Sigh* Look, Shinobu, one thing is my constant prying in this matter because, and I'll admit it, it is really fun to see the two of you struggle to give me a straight answer, but I think you should really think about this. None of us would like for the two of you to be unhappy." I was nice to hear her be so protective with me, and my smile was creeping its way back into my mouth, or at least it was until she spoke again. "And certainly none of us would mind if you two became a couple~" She said in a pretty sly tone, while also winking at me.
