The night concluded, and Kokushibo was walking to his quarters... <3

----------THIRD-PERSON-POV----------

Kokushibo walked through the halls of the Infinity Castle yet again, staring down at his feet. He knew he had a crush on Muzan, he confessed and everything. He was more forced into the confession.. but, Muzan already knew the answer.

He reached his room, and opened the sliding door. He stepped inside his room, shutting the door behind him. He put his sword on the katana kake on his dresser. Though he wore the same thing everyday: His dark purple-and-black hexagonal nagagi kimono, black umanori-styled hakama pants, and a white uwa-obi, he liked to keep them in a drawer so he felt more... human-like? 

He sat everything down and changed into a loose-fitting white shirt and pant, similar to the Butterfly Mansion Patient Wear. It was comfortable, way more comfortable than his normal clothing. 

He sat down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. 

He was so confused.

Why is Muzan-sama doing all this? Is he teasing me? Did I do something to make him all... lovey? It's all so confusing. 

These thoughts raced through his head. He completely forgot that Muzan could hear his own thoughts. It was too much for Muzan to take in at once.

Muzan, who was talking to Nakime, listened to all these thoughts. A feeling of hurt stabbed him in the chest. He liked, no... loved Kokushibo. Why would he think these things? Muzan stopped Nakime and sighed.

"Nakime, I'm sorry. I'll be right back." He said in a calm tone, though there was a sense of hurt in it.

Nakime nodded, smiling.

"Of course, Muzan-sama. Would you wish for me to summon you to your destination?" She asked, tilting her head. Muzan nodded. "Yes, please teleport me to Kokushibo's room." He told her. Nakime picked up her Bachi pick, strumming her biwa. 

"TWANG!!"

Muzan stood right outside Kokushibo's door. He was contemplating whether or not to knock. He decided it would be the right thing to do, so he knocked. Kokushibo looked at the door from the inside, tilting his head partially to the right.

"Who is it? You also may come in." Kokushibo said.

"It's just me." Muzan said as he opened the door, walking in and closing it behind him.

Kokushibo sighed, looking at him. 

"Do you need me for a mission, Muzan-sama?" Kokushibo asked, standing up from his bed.

"No, I don't need you for a mission.. I just want to talk to you." Muzan said in response, gesturing for Kokushibo to sit down. 

He complied, sitting back down. Muzan sat in front of him, staring into his eyes.

"Your thoughts concern me." Muzan started the conversation, putting a hand on Kokushibo's cheek.

"I know, I'm your "Lord" and whatnot," Muzan said, a soft smile appearing on his face. 

"but I don't know why you think this is a joke." He chuckled under his breath.

"I truly care, even if I don't seem like I do." He smiled, brushing a bit of Kokushibo's hair behind his ear. 

"I'm not teasing you.. You did nothing to make me feel this way.. Negative, that is." 

Muzan paused, looking away from Kokushibo. 

"You make me feel things I haven't felt in centuries. Things I never knew I could feel anymore." He said.

"You make me happy, Kokushibo." 

..

Kokushibo blushed at these words. He makes Muzan happy..? How. All he's been since he was a demon was a mere business partner, but he.. cares? Care about him? That's too good to be true. These words feel forced, but they're genuine?

Muzan leaned closer and kissed Kokushibo's cheek.

"I know it's a bit early to say this but, I love you."

Kokushibo blushed more, he swallowed a lump in his throat and spoke.

".. I love you too." He said, a soft, nervous smile on his face. 

Muzan took one of Kokushibo's hands, softly kissing his knuckles.

Muzan moved to sit beside Kokushibo, wrapping one of his arms around him, pulling him closer. Kokushibo put his head against Muzan's chest, and one arm around his waist. Muzan traced shapes into Kokushibo's back, kissing the top of his head.

The two stayed there until the sun came up, where they eventually fell asleep there.. holding each other.
