[Giyu x Reader] My World Is at Peace With You

Chapter 61

Y/n's pov

The few days after having woken up have been hectic for you, the Corps finally having officially dispersed upon the last ever Hashira meeting, along with the townspeople peeking their heads into the Spirit Estate trying to take a look at you for the first time in a year, which usually ended up your father inviting them in for some food and tea every time. Most of them brought mochis and some bits of food to congratulate you and your family on surviving the battle against the demons, along with the rest of the slayers currently living in the Spirit Estate. 

After having enough food and rehab training with Shinobu in the garden for all to see to retrain the muscles, you were allowed to walk out of the Spirit Estate this morning into the town with the others, Mitsuri pulling you by the arm towards the dango stand. 

'Y/n-chan! These are the same dangos you bought years ago, right?' she asks, her cheeks going pink as she eyes the dangos. 

'It smells so good.' you say, almost shuddering at the warm scent of sweetened dangos, the sunshine making the steam from the food market even clearer, mixing with the salesmen shouting for people to buy the goods. 

'Can we get them?' Shinobu asks, her looking down at her hands to count the coins from her pouch. 

'UMAI!' Looking to your side, you see Kyojuro already chewing the dangos in his hand, thanking the dango stand man as he buys the extra dangos for his family.

'We have to get some if Rengoku-san approves.' Shinobu says, ordering a few more dangos for the children back at the Spirit Estate. You ask the lady for some as well, buying a few for Giyu and your sister, holding onto the paper package that the owner hands you with the dangos inside.

'It feels like the olden times. Just eating food together without doing much, don't you think?' Rengoku says as you proceed to walk through the market full of people flooding in to buy food, the winter sunshine crisp and clear in the air. 

'Eung.' you hum, gently swinging the paper bag in your hand, occupied at the colourful stands getting ready for sale. 'You remember the time we had taiyaki in that town with three head demon? It was so cold then.... taiyaki red beans were the only thing that kept us warm.' you say, remembering the absurdly cold winter Japan had years ago during one of your missions together. 

'I thought it was my flame that kept us warm.' He says, his dot eyes staring down at you. 

'That too.' you say, leading him towards where Shinobu and Mitsuri are looking at some new clothes, them holding a colourful yukata against each other. 

Giyu's pov

I yank myself up from the bedding as I feel the sunshine fall through the window after a blissful sleep I hadn't had in a long while, opening the window wide open just to see the sun all the way up in the sky already. 

'Giyu-san! You're finally up!' Looking back at the door, I see Tanjiro holding a small table with steaming food on the top, him placing it carefully on the floor. 

'I woke up so late...' I say more to myself, staring at the steaming rice on top of the table. 

'You seemed to be so sound asleep that nobody dared to woke you up. You must have felt safe now that Y/n-san's back.' Tanjiro says, standing up from the floor to leave.
