His Little Flame

When I Was Happy

I woke up and I was still in Kyojuros arms.

' I guess he carried me and continued to walk.? '

He looked down at me and he beamed with joy.

" Good morning Y/N! I hope you slept well! "

" You know, Kyojuro, you didn't have to carry me, you could've woken me up. " I said sleepily.

" NONSENE! " He screamed.

" Well I appreciate that. Thank you. "

" It's no problem at all! "

Minutes passed by, the air filled with awkward silence. I soon then noticed, Kyojuro was still carrying me.

" You know you can put me down now.? " I said while blushing.

" Hm? Oh right! Sorry Y/N! " He said while putting me down.

" It's fine. Thanks. "

We talked for a bit. It was nice. Until...

" Where is your home? " Kyojuro asked.

" Oh! Um... I don't... Have a home... " You said. You were embarrassed.

" Do you wish to live with me? " He said in his calm voice.

My eyes widened at his question.

" You would be okay with me, living with you? "

" Of course! It's no problem at all! "

You were very hesitant about your answer. He was staring at you with puppy dog eyes, waiting for your answer.

" Well... If your okay with it... I guess so? " I said hesitantly.

When he heard me say that, his face bloomed into happiness! His smile went ear to ear!

" Wonderful! We shall get something to eat in the village, then go up to my home! "

" Alright. "

Time skip~

You both arrived at his estate. He lived alone. You were just thinking to yourself.

' Me and him? Alone in his home? ' You blushed at your thought.

' Stop thinking these things Y/N! He's just helping you! '

He opened his door and let you in. You both took off your shoes. He lead you to what looked like a guest room.

" Here you Y/N! Your own room! If you need anything, my room is down the hall! " He rushed his sentence and left.

Y/N POV:

Well now that I'm living in a home, I can finally be safe from demons. I even live with a Hashira! Now I don't have to live in fear anymore. I had my own bathroom attached to my room. I already took a shower this morning. But for some reason, I feel really dirty. Maybe it's because I've been walking outside for hours. So I took a nice hot shower and I felt so much better. After that, I went to the kitchen to find Kyojuro, but lucky enough, he was already standing there, getting water.

" Hi Kyojuro. " I said.

" Hm? Oh Y/N! Hi! I see you've gotten ready for bed. Do you need anything? " He asked.

" I don't need anything, but thank you for asking. I was just wondering if I could kinda... Like explore your home? "

" Sure! If you want, I can give you a tour? "

" Sure. I'd like that. "

He showed me around, then I told him I wanted to go to bed. He walked me to my room, and bided me goodnight.

The next morning, I woke up and lazily got up. I rubbed my eyes and I wanted to find Kyojuro to wish him a good morning and ask him if he wanted breakfast. It's the least I could do since he brought me in his home and provided for me. I got up, and went to look for Kyojuro. I went to his bedroom and knocked on his door.

" Kyojuro? " I called.

" Are you in there? " I ask.

I didn't hear anything so I opened his door and as soon as I opened his door, his bathroom door opened. He was standing there in his towel wrapped around his hips.

I blushed so hard.

" Ah, Y/N! Good morning! " He said happily as if nothing was happening.

I just started screaming apologies and ran out of his room.

Kyojuro POV:

Huh, I wonder why she just ran away like that.? I stood there thinking. Then my stupid mind finally realized why she ran away like that. I started to blush then quickly put on some clothes so I could go to Y/N. Once I was dressed, I ran out of my room only to see Y/N lying on the kitchen floor with a bloody nose.

Y/N POV:

Once I saw him, I ran out of the room, shut the doors, and ran towards the kitchen. I then was on the ground with a bloody nose. I realized I tripped over my feet.

" Ow... " I said to myself.

" Y/N! Are you ok?! What happened?! " He asked worriedly.

" Don't worry, I'm fine. " I said.

" No your not! Your nose is bleeding! "

" I just tripped. "

He picked me up and sat me down on the counter. He walked to a cabinet and grabbed a first aid kit. He grabbed some paper towels and ointment. He gently tapped my nose, the paper towel absorbing my blood.

" I just tripped and fell, I'm okay, thank you for your concern. " I said.

" Y/N, I'm sorry if I made you embarrassed. I caused you to run and fall. " He said, apologetically.

" You shouldn't be apologizing, I should be. I'm the one who came in your room uninvited. "

" No need to apologize. " He said with a warm smile on his face.

He continued to treat my nose. He grabbed a q-tip and put ointment on it. He applied it where the bleeding was coming from. It made me hiss at the stinging feeling.

" I'm sorry, I know it hurts. " He said to me.

I didn't say anything.

Once he was done, he grabbed the garbage, threw it away, walked over to me. He was about to put me on the ground, when he stopped and looked into my eyes. He caressed my cheek with his thumb, and made me blush. I looked away from him and coughed into my elbow to break the tension.

" I'm sorry, I just find your E/C eyes beautiful. "

" Well, thank you, Kyojuro. "

He only hummed in response and grabbed the sides of my stomach and he put me down on the ground.

I was blushing a lot... So I asked him if he wanted me to make breakfast for him until I heard...

" CAWW!! "

I looked out the window and saw a crow.
I didn't know crows could talk?

" RENGOKU KYOJURO, YOU MUST HEAD SOUTH AND TO A NEARBY VILLAGE! "

" I'm sorry Y/N... I have to go... But I will see you soon. " He said.

He walked towards me, grabbed my chin and kissed my forehead.

" Take care! " He yelled.

Then he was gone.
I couldn't understand what had just happened.

" He kissed me... "

Ahhhh! I'm really embarrassed by this! I know this is probably cringe, this is my first story so pls don't hate! I will be working on the next chapter of the story! But Reader is experiencing some weird, romantic feelings...
