♡ | 13 - Confession | ♡

(A/N: the art I put at the top is literally exactly how I imagined the last chapter lmao)

Muichiro's face was bright red. He wasn't done with his confession yet.

"Talking to you and being your friend has been so nice, but I-"

He hesitated for a second.

No, I'm not going to back out of this now.

"I think I've fallen for you, Y/n." He whispered.

She blinked at him with wide, gleaming eyes. A gentle smile appeared on her face and she reached for his hand.

"I think... I think I may have fallen for you too." She murmured.

He makes me so crazy... I would go to the end of the world for him and yet I barely even know who he is.. Oh, my heart is going to be the death of me..

"Really...?" His voice was shaky and waverred slightly. He raised his brow at her, trying to see if she was serious.

Surely, there's no way that someone as beautiful as her could fall for someone like me.. He thought to himself

He smiled at her, and gently held her hand, rubbing her fingers with his thumb. She smiled and leaned into him. "Yeah, I really do think so..."

She pulled away and looked back up at him. "What are we going to do now? I mean, if word got out about these feelings... Don't they have policies about this sort of stuff? Are we gonna have to be secretive?" Y/n frowned.

"You're right. If they got word of this, it would be very awkward.. I mean, this IS a demon slayer's organization, and we're supposed to be focused on, yknow, killing demons... We can keep this between us, for now. But.. I don't know.. I can't lie, I kind of... like this being a secret. Makes it feel even more important, you know?"

Muichiro's heart sped up. I wonder what it is that's making this secret feel so.. intimate.

"Okay then... it can be our little secret. Although, we did just kiss right out in the open for anyone to see-" she giggled. The last few minutes were so impulsive, neither of them had planned this at all.

"That's true, but, that doesn't mean we can't do it again?" Muichiro chuckled quietly, and kissed her on the nose, before putting his hands on her hips.

He gently pulled her back into him, and smiled down at her.

She's so adorable when she's flustered like this.

"Your skin is very soft, you know that?" He said, his voice soft, just for her. She grew red at his touch.

"If you do stuff like that in public, it's gonna be obvious what's going on between us..." She mumbled, blushing heavily.

Muichiro smirked. Y/n being nervous over touching.. that's a little bit of a change from what I'm used to, but I like it.

He looked down at her, his face a deep red.

"Oh yeah.. of course, that was stupid of me, haha."

He took his hand away from her hips.

"But... As long as nobody finds out, you don't mind me kissing you, do you...?" He said quietly, smirking a tiny bit. She went as red as a tomato at his words, and she couldn't bring herself to look at him.

He's so bold! She wondered how he didn't get embarrassed, flirting like that.

"C-cmon, we should go to the h-hot springs now." She grabbed his hand and dragged him along behind her, trying to hide her red face.

She's so cute.. Muichiro giggled to himself, glancing at Y/n as she tried to hide her flushed face.

As they walked to the hot springs, he paused, something playing on his mind.

"Y/n.. I have a question." He asked quietly, his face a deep red.

"Hmm? What is it?" She replied as they made their way into the secret swordsmith village. He's flustered... I wonder what he wants to ask?

"Can I ask you.. if I can call you mine...?" He fiddled a lot, and looked at the ground.

What am I doing? What am I saying? This is so embarrassing.. But I need to know, I can't go without knowing. I'll die if I never ask her this..

"E-EH? You want me to be... yours?" When she thought about it, she didn't mind the thought of it. Being his, and only his...

"Y-yeah" He replied, quickly.

I've said this much.. now I can't back out.. Muichiro fiddled with his uniform buttons.

"I mean, if- only if you're okay with it.. I mean, if you want to.. I-" Muichiro cut himself off. Oh god.. what am I doing? This is.. embarrassing...

She thought to herself for a moment.

"W-what exactly would that entail? Like... me being... your..." She didn't want to say the word incase she had the wrong idea.

"Y-you know.. like a girlfriend..?" He said, quietly. He was blushing a lot, and looked away from her.

Did I make it too obvious? He picked at his nails. I knew I messed up..

He nervously laughed, not knowing if she would accept or not. To his relief, her eyes lit up.

"Oh yes! For sure! I um, I've never been anyone's girlfriend before so the thought of it kinda scared me... But... being your girlfriend? That doesn't sound so bad!" She smiled and squeezed his hand.

"So does that mean... you'll be my boyfriend?" She looked at him with wide, hopeful eyes.

Muichiro paused. I've never been someone's boyfriend before.. But for Y/n? I'll be her boyfriend. For Y/n, I'll do anything..

He looked at her and smiled back, wrapping her close.

"Of course I'll be your boyfriend, Y/n! It sounds like a dream come true, actually. I'm not used to things going my way... but when I'm with you, it's like I have everything all figured out.. And I want more of this. I want us to be together, always.."

"O-okay then! We are... um... officially... A um... A couple!" She beamed at him.

"Wait, you said always? You want to be together, always?" She cocked her head to the side. "That's a long time with just one person... promise you won't get bored of me?" She winked at him. Muichiro laughed, and blushed, not expecting her to be this forward.

"Always, Y/n. I will never get bored of someone as wonderful and beautiful as you. You don't have to worry about me going anywhere." He hugged her, and ruffled her hair.

Muichiro was elated. Was this the same glowy feeling that Mitsuri was always gushing about?

This feels good.. this feels SO good!...
