The morning after that amazing night...

----------MUZANS-POV----------

  I awoke from a peaceful nap. Even though demons don't need sleep, I felt refreshed after sleeping.

  There was someone in my arms. Had we fallen asleep together? I looked down, and saw Kokushibo, still peacefully asleep in my arms. A small, tired smile rested on my face as a shifted his head to lay on a pillow. I stood up from his bed, looking at him one last time before I walked to the door, opening it, stepping out, and closing it behind me.

   I walked down the corridors of the Infinity Castle, looking at the walls. I enjoy how Nakime designed the walls. Her Kekkijutsu is truly a magnificent one.

   I walked into the main room, where I saw Akaza and Nakime talking to one another. I made my way past them, walking into my office. I sat down in my chair, and just sat there.

   I had no use to be in there currently. I was embarrassed that Kokushibo and I fell asleep together. What if somebody had seen us?

   I brushed it, along with a bit of blush on my face off, looking down at my desk.

   There were countless books spread across it, some open, some not. I sighed, closing the open ones. I stacked the books together and put them back on a mahogany bookshelf behind my desk, where hundreds of books rested.

   I went back to my chair, and sat down.

   The day went by fast, and soon enough, it was night.

   I got out of my chair and left my office, walking down the hallway yet again.

   I made my way to the meeting area, and I saw Nakime by herself. I walked over to her, a small smile plastered on his face.

"Hello Nakime," I said. My tone was a bit happier than my usual cold one.

   She looked up at me, a smile also plastered on her face.

   "Hello, Muzan-Sama. I suppose we should get this meeting over and done with?" She said, picking up her Bachi pick.

   I nodded.

   "Yes, we should." I said, walking away from her.

   I heard the sound of:

   "TWANG!!"

   Multiple times. Followed by low talking. She teleported almost everyone, that I saw.

   I looked around to see if Kokushibo was there, but he wasn't. I sighed, walking back over to Nakime.

   "Did you teleport Kokushibo yet, Nakime?" I asked, my arms folding over my chest.

   "I did, Muzan-Sama. I believe he is in one of the other rooms currently. Would you like me to teleport him here?" She asked, picking up her Bachi pick.

   I nodded. "Please do." I said as she struck her biwa.

   "TWANG!!"

   I saw him.

   He was standing a short distance away from everybody else, his eyes just wandering around.

   I walked over to him and stood right in front of him. "Hello, Kokushibo." I said, a small smile on my face.

   "Ah, hello Muzan-Sama." He said.

   I took his hand in mine, my thumb gently brushing against his knuckles. I felt him get goosebumps at first, but he quickly relaxed into it.

   I smiled, pulling him closer to my side.

   I may dislike PDA at points, but his hand felt warm and soft against my cold and rough skin.

   I gestured for him to lean down so our faces would meet. He complied, and he bent his knees down. Our eyes locked as I pulled his face to the side. I gave his cheek a quick, soft kiss.

   He blushed a bit at that, and his face turned red from embarrassment.

   "Not here, please.." He whispered, his face a deep red color. I knew he didn't like PDA, but I just decided to do that.

   "Fine, fine. I just wanted to see you get all flustered." I said, softly chuckling under my breath.

   I let go of his hand, and began to walk away. I saw his face turn back to his normal pale color, which made me smile even more.

   I walked over to where Nakime was, and began to talk about the next mission I had in store.

   I was to send Daki and Gyutaro to the entertainment district.

    I know how much power and bloodlust Gyutaro has, and that's why he's one of my favorites.. But, Daki's holding him back to his full potential. That's honestly why I didn't feel like turning Daki into a demon.

...

  After the meeting was over, I saw everyone leave. Kokushibo was on his way out, before I stopped him. I gestured for him to bend down again, and he complied. He bent his knees yet again, and our faces met. I kissed him on the cheek again, and his face went red once more.

   It was quite funny to see how easy it was to make him flustered. It was hilarious.

   I took his hand in mine again, my thumb tracing circles into the back of his hand. I gently squeezed his hand.

   We walked out of the room together, and we went to the lounge area of the castle. We sat down on a couch together, and I moved myself closer to him. Our thighs touched each other's, and I learned my head against his shoulder.

   I wrapped one of my arms around his lower back, and he wrapped one of his arms around my shoulders.

   This may be a slow burn, but I enjoy spending my time with him. He made me happy.

   I felt my eyelids give in on me, and they closed. I nuzzled my head into the crook of his neck, and my breathing slowed down.

   I felt a sense of comfort wash over me after he wrapped his arm around me. I don't know why, but I felt safe in his arms. I didn't feel the need to feel "safe," but it is a nice feeling..

----------KOKUSHIBOS-POV----------

   I wrapped my arm around Muzan-Sama... He felt so cool, yet warm against my body. He closed his eyes, and I heard his breathing slow down. He must've been tired.. Even though demons don't feel the need to sleep, it feels refreshing. I softly smiled, pulling his head closer to my chest, it must be uncomfortable to be asleep on someone's shoulder for a while.

   He nuzzled his head against my chest, wrapping his arms around my waist. I eventually felt my eyelids go heavy too, so I leaned back into the soft cushion of the couch, shutting my eyes.

   We cuddled against each other for hours, nodding on and off.. Eventually, we both fell asleep for the rest of the night, together..
