We Meet Again [T.Muichiro x Reader]

[C.3; E.1] {Sick}

{So this might be confusing, but the next part will be a continuation of this, why do I want to do it like that? because I need a bit of more time for idea's, sorry}

How did you end up like this again? You coughed as you laid in my bed, feeling the used to be cold towel on your forehead go hot, you rang the bell that Aoi had given you, it was when you had needed something or a cloth change, mostly for cloth changes though, you were surprised that Obanai had taken you to the butterfly estate so you could get treated better, Aoi, Nezuko, Kanao, Mitsuri, Shinobu, and Kanae had even stayed to help, Mitsuri had insisted that Obanai go to school saying that she wanted a girls night where they supposedly treated you, speak of the devil, you saw that Mitsuri had come in. "So, *sneeze* how was the date with *sneeze* my brother" you asked, while Mitsuri sighed before smiling and blushing "It went pretty well, and no we did not 'do it', we did go on a nice date though, but what do you need?" Mitsuri asked, while you weakly pointed at the towel on your forehead, she immediately understood what you meant, and she quickly took off the cloth and bathed it inside the cold water.

It took a bit before she placed it on my head "Thanks..." you managed to mutter out, while she patted your head "By the way, we're currently making lunch, it should be ready soon" Mitsuri suddenly remembered, you honestly feel guilty that you had randomly gotten sick and now they have to skip school and take care of you, Mitsuri immediately noticed that something was wrong, you knew she did because you could see her looking at you with worry "What's wrong" Mitsuri asked, while standing up to exchange the water inside of the bucket inside the bathroom.

"It's just that *cough* I feel bad that you guys skipped school because of me *cough* and you all have been doing so much work while I'm laying down here, doing nothing at all" you explained, while continuing to cough, you caught a fever overnight since it was too hot. Mitsuri soon came back with the bucket and set it on the nightstand, and she suddenly hugged you, which surprised you, but you soon got used to the hug. "Is that what you were worried about? we planned to skip school today and we were about to call you but when Obanai came here, they informed me and Nezuko, and seeing you in this state, it just made us want to help you, but it's not in a pitying way of course!" Mitsuri assured you, and honestly, it really did make you feel assured that you weren't a burden and that they don't pity you for being sick. "Thanks, to you and the rest..." you spoke, before falling asleep.

Mitsuri was sad that you thought that you were a burden and everyone enjoyed your company no matter what, you even gave great tips about the people others like without knowing it, especially Obanai, it kind of felt weird to Mitsuri that she doesn't address Obanai by his last name now, and Mitsuri has another date with him tomorrow after school again (It's currently Wednesday in this) and Mitsuri and Obanai had also planned one on Saturday, he'll stay at her place over the weekend and come back to the serpent estate around 8:30 p.m. to check up on you, 'Such sibling love! It fills heart with joy! but I don't want him to go to his house, just in case Y/n invites he lover aka Muichiro-kun over!' She mentally gushed, sighing while looking at you, she couldn't help but feel guilty that you and Obanai had been abused and that nobody helped you two, people knew just didn't help...

Mitsuri wished someone had helped you and Obanai and maybe you and him wouldn't be so cold and insecure all the time, Mitsuri didn't care about Obanai's or your scar! She sure Muichiro didn't either, and technically, you and Muichiro have been together for over two years, he knew about it too. A tear had dropped from her eye, she cried silently, even if it wasn't her, she can't help but feel sad and guilty for you and Obanai. Mitsuri didn't pity you or Obanai, it's not like that since she knew youband Obanai hate when people pity you both, you and him always get pity looks whenever you both used to walk around your hometown, the two of you couldn't help but feel reminded about it, you tried to forget it all too.. Mitsuri had gotten all of her past memories back, in the AU you had told her that you tried to forget it all, your brain wouldn't let you though, and Mitsuri couldn't help but feel bad because you and Obanai have to remember such a horrible memory and nobody is there to even help either of you. But that has changed, Mitsuri, the girls, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, the other Hashira's are here to help you and Obanai overcome it all, Mitsuri wiped her tears before walking to the door, she took once last glance at you before opening the door and stepping outside and quietly shutting the door.

30 minutes had passed, and the food was finally done and ready to serve, Kanae quietly opened the door and smiled at your sleeping figure, that was until you had opened your eyes "Sorry if I had woken you up and disturbed you" Kanae quickly apologized, before walking over to you and sitting beside your bed, she checked the cloth and it was hot, she took it off of your forehead and bathed it in the freezing water and soon after putting it back on your head "You hadn't woken me up, and arigatou... because of you all, I'm getting better" you managed to say without coughing or sneezing, your voice was less raspy too. "I'm glad, also, Mitsuri-chan told me of what had happened, you'd never be a burden to us, never." Kanae reassured you, it made you feel better about it, they know your past and still decide to help you, even after seeing such a nasty scar that you had shown them a long time ago too, you couldn't help but think to yourself 'What did I do to deserve such people, no, friends like this... I don't even deserve their kindness at all...' you smiled to yourself.

And as if Kanae had read your mind, she responded with an answer that made you cry, tears that were unexplainable "You deserve the kindness and everything good to you, don't think you're not worthy of it at all, you may not appreciate yourself or whatever you do, you don't see the worthiness and greatness in you, you underestimate yourself too much, but, in actuality, you serve great things without knowing, please, don't try to take care of everything on your own, we're all here to help and support you no matter what." Kanae reassured you, it felt nostalgic because it kind of reminded you of what Mitsuri had said, you cried silently, after realizing what Kanae had said "Gomennasai for making you cr-" before Kanae could finish her sentence, you hugged her and cried on her shoulder "Arigatou..." you kept thanking her, Kanae hugged you back, patting your head, assuring you that you're now in a better place and you're not alone.

"Ah, the food is also ready, I asked Shinobu to bring it, she should arrive soon, also, we should get you cleaned up" Kanae suddenly remembered, trying to change the subject while you stopped crying. "Alright, I'll clean up, also gomen, I got snot and tears on you..." you looked at the puddle on her shoulder, while she just smiled "No, no it's fine, I'll just clean this up later" Kanae reassured you, but you couldn't help but feel guilty "I promise, it's fine" Kanae insisted, seeing her being so insisted made you feel a bit better again, after a bit, you were finished on cleaning yourself, as if on que too, Shinobu entered the room, carrying a tray that contains medicine, miso soup, and f/d on it. "Ara ara~ Y/n-chan, it seems like you've been improving, I'm glad!" Shinobu smiled before setting down the tray onto the table that was inside the room.

"And, please, eat the medicine." Shinobu gave you her signature death smile before heading out of the door, you sighed, eating your medicine and swallowing it down with f/d, you drank a bit before it fully went down, you ate the miso soup, you smiled and continued to eat it, after finishing my lunch you stood up and brought the tray downstairs, a sudden shriek had almost made you drop the stuff "NO! YOU MUSTN'T CARRY SUCH STUFF Y/N-CHAN! JUST WHAT IF YOU GET HURT!" Nezuko snatched the tray from you, you deadpanned at the way she was acting "I'm not a baby, idiot" you poked her forehead while she sighed. "I know but still~" Nezuko pouted, you sighed in defeat and just went back upstairs and inside your room, you had your own room due to your closeness with the butterfly sisters, you did try to decline but they insisted saying, 'We have so much empty rooms! it's fine!' in the end you did end up having to take the room, of course Nezuko and Mitsuri have their own room too.

You were bored out of your mind as you had solved some random cube that was laying around inside the upstairs bathroom, you did have your own bathroom, but you felt like exploring for a bit, except inside of anyone else's room of course, you heard three gasps from the door in surprise and excitement, you turned around to see the little ones, Naho, Sumi, and Kiyo, you stared at them before tilting your head "Wow Y/n! you solved that under 20 seconds!" Naho complimented, while the other two nodded "Yeah! and we couldn't even figure it out!" Sumi added, making the other two nod in agreement "You're so fast and smart!" Kiyo also complimented, you didn't really get it, but you sought to be polite. "Ah, my apologies that I had done it without any of your permission." you apologized, bowing perfectly, they were all in awe and you hadn't even realized or noticed. "No, it's fine!" Naho assured you, while you raised your head and body up "I'll be heading to my room now..." you muttered, setting the rubix cube down, now walking to your room.
