THE BEST DAY | demon slayer

day 3

zzzzzzzzzzzz.

akaza looked at the sleeping y/n in a confused daze. he knew that demons did not need sleep and yet this child was sleeping comfortably on his lap. it was already sunrise and hence they had to seek shelter to avoid the sun rays from hurting them. the drowsy child made akaza confused but he didn't question it. 

finding an abandoned hut in the woods, akaza used it as refuge to stay in. if the owners came back he would simply kill them. when they reached the hut, akaza sat down and y/n followed him. following on, the girl plopped herself beside the yellow-eyed demon and climbed on his lap, falling asleep in a sitting position. 

akaza didn't know what to do and stayed still until she woke up. he didn't have much to do since it was daylight. he patted y/n's head and caressed her hair while the girl was sleeping soundly. he was glad that she enjoyed her night since another upper demon would take care of her this night.

his mind clicked to the sadistic douma, he didn't know how the upper demon 2 would react when y/n stayed with him. it would be horrendous; akaza concluded in his mind. 

about 30 minutes later, y/n woke up from her short nap and hugged akaza with a smile on her face. the cold demon's heart was warmed by her affection. 

"hello y/n."
akaza greeted the girl who was rubbing her eyes. 

"explore!"
y/n radiated the energy of 'let's go for an adventure!'. akaza thought about how to crush her dreams since it was broad daylight. they could not go out in public. 

getting out from akaza's lap, y/n ran around the house in search of items to play with. just then, she found some calligraphy ink and waddled her way to akaza, setting it on the ground. as she dipped her hands in the ink. the blank ink smudging her hands as y/n let out a fit of giggles. 

"you need a paper and a brush to use the ink."
akaza stated, standing up to find the materials. soon after, he found two brushes and a papers to be used. 

by then, y/n's whole hand was drenched in black ink. as akaza placed the paper on the floor, y/n patted her whole hand on the paper which left her handprint on the paper. smiling in glee, y/n showed akaza her artwork patted his open chest. the blank ink now staying on his chest. 

akaza allowed her to do as she pleases. y/n continued entertaining herself with the ink and totally ignoring the fact that the brushes were there. it was the good old finger painting. 

for some reason, the session of finger painting turned into a face painting of akaza. y/n had her laughs as she painted akaza's face, decorating with blank ink. without complain, akaza allowed her to draw faces on his own face. internally, he was glad that the child was having fun. 

"akaza, chiii!"
y/n showed her fangs at the older demon who was confused at her words. y/n had drew a smiley face on his cheeks amist of the line tattoos on his face. 

"chi?"
akaza asked, articulating the words. he was too showing her his teeth, making a smile. y/n eyes brightened at his facial expression. 

"chi!"
that was when he understood what y/n had met. 

he was the most endearing child that he had ever met.

it was the afternoon when akaza and y/n heard the strum of the biwa. 

oh. y/n's leaving. 
the demon thought. y/n would have to be with another demon's care. he was a little bummed out about it but brushed it over since there was always next time... well he hoped so.
