-Dream-

"Oto-San?" M/N gently tugged on Akazas haori

"Yes?" He let M/N know that he had his full attention.

"What is it like to love someone?" M/N asked. His 15 year old e/c eyes were filled with curiosity. 

"Oh-" Akaza was a little surprised that M/N was asking this question of all things. He thought for a moment, there was just so much to explain. Akaza had no clue where to start. "Well, you see, the world feels grey, right? When you meet this person, everything just gets so colorful. It's like you can finally see everything, you feel warm and happy. Loving someone can come with pain and bliss, you could get hurt sometimes, like if the one you love would never love you back, or you get into an argument. Despite that, the joy you get, from seeing them will fill your life with color. That special person will do everything they can to make you happy, and you should rob the same."

M/N listens well, "How did you know that you loved Oto-San? "

Akaza blushed faintly. "I actually used to hate his guts. He was obnoxious and insensitive. Everything he did was annoying and I just couldnt stand him. You dont usually figure out your feelings right away. Love is a very complicated emotion. It took me seventy eight years to figure out t ha I had fallen for him. Because my feelings were building up so gradually, invading even noticed, but when I did, I did everything possible to deny it."

"Tell me how you met!" M/N asked, but it was more like a demand. Douma had told M/N how they met, but M/N knows that they both had very different views of each other in the beginning. 

Akaza sighed, now that was an interesting story, super embarrassing too. "Oh dear..." Akaza knew there would be no getting out of it. "Well..."

M/N stared at him, expecting him to start explaining his side of the story. 

"It all started one hundred years ago. I found myself wandering throughout the infinity castle. It would get boring here sometimes and I didn't really feel like going out, Muzan-sama hadn't given me a mission at the time either. I found myself at a side of the fortress I had never been to yet. Suddenly I saw something that made my heart beat faster. There it was, standing before me, a cockroach. I hate bugs, they freak out. I froze in place, then the worst possible situation came about. That THING," his voice had malice when calling it that "it FLEW AT ME!!!" 

"Oto-San told me that he heard you scream like a little girl." M/N informed. 

"Hey! Don't judge. My heart stopped, I thought I'd die in that moment!" Maybe that was a slight exaggeration but he was still scared shitless by it. "But before it could get to me, a tiny ice pillar appeared and pierced that disgusting thing before it got to me. I looked up to see the prettiest man in the world. I hadn't seen anyone more beautiful in my life. He was dreamy and he was kind enough to save me from the cockroach. I swear that my heart skipped a beat when I met him. That changed when I got to know him though. He was annoying and I couldn't stand him, but I was forced to spend more time with him because he wouldn't leave me alone. Soon we became good friends and one day he brought you here. You helped us get togetger, I'm thankful because I know we would never confess if it weren't for you." Akaza patted M/Ns head. M/N smiled, he was satisfied with Akaza story. 

M/N couldn't help but laugh "Upper Two is terrified of a little bug?" 

"Are you saying you wouldn't be scared if a cockroach came flying at you!?" Akaza questioned. 

"I would, those things are freaky." M/N laughed a bit.

"I would rather die than live in a world without Douma now. Man, me one hundred years ago would believe me if I ever said that to him." Akaza chuckled.

"OTO-SAN!" M/N screamed as he came racing to the horrid scene before him

He looked as Akazas limbs were all over, slowly disintegrating. "M/N?" He looked at the frost pillar who was kneeling down before him

"What- Oto-San?" M/Ns voice was cracking. He looked up and unintentionally glared at Giyuu and Tanjiro. 

"Don't be mad at your friends. I did this to myself.  I love you, M/N. I really appreciated the time we spent together. Sadly, ill be going to hell very soon and you won't be able to follow. This is our final goodbye." 

"NO! THIS ISN'T OUR FINAL GOODBYE! PLEASE, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE YOU AGAIN! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME! OTO-SAN!!! OTO-SAN, I- I love you..." M/N grabbed Akazas hand which was denigrating before his eyes. "I... Love... you." 

-Dream end-

M/N awoke with a scream, his body shooting up into a sitting position. That immediately woke up the beautiful blond and red haired man besides him. "M/N?"

" Kyojuro- Kyo, why can't I get over them? I keep on having horrible visions of everyone dying. The Upper Moons and Hashira. It hurts to see everyone die one after another." M/N cried. He hated tonight's dream though. It's like his mind was trying to break his heart, starting off with a happy memory only to be greeted with Akazas dying body before him.

Kyojuro was a little shocked when M/N used his full name rather thAn his nickname "who was it this time? Would you like to talk about it?"

"It was my Oto-San, Akaza this time. It was horrible." M/N cried. Kyojuro pulled M/N into a hug. M/N pressed his face into Kyojuros bare chest and cried into it. Kyojuro gently pet M/Ns head "his body parts were everywhere and he was dying in front of me. He even told me it'd be our final goodbye and we wouldn't go to the same place. I know that. I know that Akaza would be going to hell, but... I still want to see him again, even if he dies. I hate myself! Why do I have to love demons?! Why do I have to care so much for my stupid demon family!?"

"I'm sorry, M/N. I know you love your Oto-Sans very much. I wish I could help you more, but all Of can do is be here for you, and stay by your side for the rest of our lives." Kyojuro lifted M/Ns face gently with his index finger on M/Ns chin. 

"I'm happy it wasn't you again. I've seen you die in so many gruesome ways. I hate sleeping, I'm scared of sleeping at this point. I don't want to see people dies anymore." M/Ns eyes were so watery that he couldn't even see properly. Kyojuro gently wiped the tears off of M/Ns cheeks with his thumb. 

"M/N... I just want you to know this, I love you very much and I won't die on you." Kyojuro pulled M/N in for a soft kiss, M/N reciprocated right away. 

"I love you too." M/N said right after pulling away. He had a weak smiled then pulled Kyojuro in for another kiss, this one being more heated and passionate.
