Muichiro gave Y/n a small, reassuring smile as they knelt down infront of Shinobu.
The mist hashira looked up at the older demon slayer, not sure what to say. He wasn't very good in situations like these, and he didn't want to screw this up.
"I... We need to tell you something, Shinobu."
He took a big breath, before continuing.
"I... um... well.. Y/n and I..."
He looked back at her, and he was just a little bit embarrassed. Shinobu raised her eyebrow.
"Have been having secret makeout sessions during missions? Yeah, I heard."
Her tone was blunt, and slightly judgemental. Both Y/n and Muichiro flushed bright red and hid their faces at her words.
OH NO OH NO OH NO!
"M-miss Shinobu, I swear, we never did anything stupid!" She buried her face in her hands. "I... We... really do love eachother!"
Oh god, I sound so naive.
Muichiro looked away, feeling so embarrassed.
"We... We are actually in love, Shinobu.." He mumbled, still feeling too embarrassed to look at her.
He squeezed Y/n's hand. "We just didn't know what to do, we couldn't keep hiding it.."
He hoped that this would pass, he was so nervous about this. Despite being a stronger fighter than Shinobu, he still had a lot of respect for her and hated embarrassing himself like this infront of her.
I'm sorry, Shinobu...
Shinobu rolled her eyes in disbelief.
"You two are damn lucky that this came to me and not another one of the hashira. I appreciate that you two have strong feelings for eachother, but you have GOT to be careful about how you express those feelings! Honestly, couldn't even put the hickey an inch lower? Are you dense?"
Shinobu was talking directly to Y/n now.
Wait a minute... Is she.. giving me advice? It's like being scolded by an older sister!
"And you..." She turned to Muichiro with a deathly glare on her face. "If I ever get wind that you have hurt Y/n, I will not only end your career as a hashira, BUT ALSO YOUR ENTIRE BLOODLINE!"
Shinobu cleared her throat and regained her composure, her cheeks flushed.
"Now, got any other news for me?"
Muichiro let out a huge sigh of relief.
It was okay, Shinobu wasn't going to split them up.
He was still red, but he also felt a tad bit silly now. Laughing gently, he finally made eye contact with the insect hashira.
"No, we don't have any other news.. Sorry for making you worry.."
He gently tugged on Y/n's hand, and he looked at her, smiling. Despite his embarrassment, he was happy to still be with her.
"Um... lady Shinobu..." Y/n began. "Would you mind keeping this quiet for now? I'm only a new hashira, and a female one at that, so I wouldn't want this to affect my reputation..."
Anxiously, she twiddled her thumbs.
I'm so embarrassed... how did we manage to let this slip so soon! First Tanjiro, then Kanao, now Shinobu... Soon the whole corps will know we're together just by looking at us!
"Y-Yeah I agree!" Muichiro spoke up. "It would be really embarrassing for us if this spread, please, Shinobu.. You can't tell anyone.. We really don't want anyone else to know!"
He continued to smile nervously, as he held Y/n's hand a slight bit tighter.
Especially not Tengen... He thought to himself. He didn't want to think about what would happen if Tengen found out, that would be the worst.. Secretly, Y/n was thinking the same thing.
"If any of the other hashira found out... Mr Uzui, Miss Kanroji... It would be a nightmare!" She groaned and stared pleadingly at Shinobu. The butterfly hashira only laughed and rolled her eyes playfully.
"Okay then, kids. I will keep this between us. I will also make sure to give Kanao an order to seal her lips." She winked at them, before escorting them out the door.
"Nice catch, Y/n!" She whispered in her ear before closing the door. Y/n's face went bright red and she let out a massive sigh of relief, before jumping into Muichiro's arms. He caught her, and they both began to laugh hysterically.
"BAWHAHAA-" Y/n couldn't contain herself, they had got so worked up over nothing!
Muichiro didn't have to look at her to know that her face was bright red. She was embarrassed, and excited, and it all mixed into her feeling right now.
In amongst the happiness, a twinge of doubt struck Muichiro as he glanced at the girl in his arms.
"Do you think we can trust Kanao?"
Y/n put her hand on his shoulder and looked into his eyes, smiling thoughtfully.
"Kanao.. she won't disobey orders. She's a nice girl really, just a bit confused sometimes. If Shinobu says to stay quiet, she will stay quiet."
Y/n saw relief in his eyes. She had been right to trust him... Coming clean to Shinobu was the right move all along. She put her arms around his neck and pressed their foreheads together. Muichiro saw happiness in her eyes, his heart was racing, it was all so perfect.
He gently put his forehead against her's and held her tightly, just like the first time they kissed.
Wait... I can remember our first kiss? I would have thought I'd forgotten that by now...
He held a small smile, as they just stood there together. He was happy, he was so happy to be with her. The fact that he had managed to remember something so important to him only made him feel more ecstatic.
A door opened behind them. Shinobu came out and scoffed when she saw them hugging tightly.
"Seriously you two? Have you not learned anything?!" She laughed in disbelief, teasing them.
Y/n began to laugh aswell, but took Muichiro's hand and dragged him out of the butterfly mansion. They ran, laughing together, red in the face.
I'm so happy...
As they ran, their hands were clasped together. They both looked so joyful... Muichiro was so happy, just like Y/n was. This was just so perfect...
He knew that he never wanted to let her go.
