Chapter 32

"Thank you, Y/N..." he said. He steps closer to me as he wrap his arms around me. My eyes widened, completely not expecting his action. I feel my heart starts to beat faster. I'm worried he might hear it. What's going on with me?

-Training-

Y/N P.O.V

Muichiro-San seem to realize what he just did. He clears his throat as he slowly pulls away from me, taking a couple of steps back. I notice a faint blush on his cheeks as he try to avoid eye-contact with me.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know what came over me. I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable" he said. He turn his head to look at me. I blink my eyes and shakes my head, giving him a soft smile.

"I'm fine with it. Zenitsu would do the same every now and then. It's normal among friends. I'll take it as a sign of friendships. Since we're friends. I don't mind... well, that is if you consider me as your friend" I said.

"I do consider you as my friend" he said, nodding his head while giving me a small smile. I smile brightly at him, glad this friendship isn't one sided or it would have been awkward to claim someone as a friend while they only consider us as acquaintance. Although, I might have imagined it... but I notice a hint of sadness in his eyes when I said 'friend.'

"Shall we begin training, now?" He asked. I smile softly and nod my head in agreement, deciding to brush off the thought as my imagination. He walk towards the wall where there's a couple of bokken being hanged. He grab one and then to face me. "Here..." he said, offering it to me.

"Thank you..." I said, gently taking the bokken from him. He gesture me to follow him as he walk towards the center of the dojo. He turn around to face me. He gives me a nod, as if signaling me to come at him.

I hesitate a little. I rush towards him and try to strike him. But he easily blocks my attack. His reflect is a lot faster than me. I'm having a difficulty trying to catch up with his movement. I lose balance when Muichiro-San manage to swipe my feet, making me fall on the ground.

"Ow..." I said, wincing in pain. I open my eyes to see him looking down on me with his free hand on his hip. He just stares into my eyes, without saying anything. I sit up and rub my head, since my head is the one who gets the most impact when I fell.

"You okay?" He asked. He looks a little worried. I smile softly at him and nod my head. He offers his hand to me. I place my hand on top of his. But instead of him pulling me up, I pulled him down instead. He falls on the ground with a stun expression.

I let out a giggle at his reaction, making him turn to look at me. I let out a yelp when he pushed me down on the ground, while he hovers above me. I stare at him wide-eyed as I stare into his turquoise eyes.

"Sneaky..." he said. I feel my cheeks getting warmer at the close proximity. I silently pray to God that it won't be noticeable on my cheeks. But I'm sure it's useless, since my cheeks obviously turned red.

"Erm... Muichiro-San" I said. He just hum softly, still not moving. I notice how his face slowly gets closer to mine. My eyes widened at his action as he seem to not realize his action yet. I start to grow nervous as his face keeps on getting closer to mine. "M-Muichiro-San!" I said, louder this time.

He finally realize what he did and quickly moves off me. "Sorry..." he mumbled, but still loud enough for me to hear. We sit next to each other on the dojo's floor. Neither of us dare to look at each other. I fiddle with my fingers, not knowing how to process what had happened. Was he about to kiss me? If I hadn't stopped him... would he?

I turn my head to look outside the window, realizing that it had gotten darker. There's no sign of sunlight anymore. Well, I mean it makes sense. I did come here when it's close to evening.

"Muichiro-San... I think it's time for me to get going. I still need to make sure my brother had his dinner" I said, turning my head to look at him. He turn his head to look at me. He stares at me for a few seconds before nodding his head. He stands up and turn to me.

"You're not going to pull a trick again, right?" He said. I just smile at him and nod my head. He hums softly and offers his hand. I place my hand on top of his, letting him pulls me up to my feet. "I'm gonna walk you there..." he said. I just nod my head, while tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear. We turn around and make our way out of his dojo.

A While Later

The walk to the Butterfly Estate is pretty much filled with silence. Neither of us said anything as we enjoy the walk. The silence isn't awkward, in fact, it's pretty comfortable.

I look up and notice the familiar building of the Butterfly Estate. "Alright... we're here, Muichiro-San" I said, while stopping once we're standing in front of the gate of the Butterfly Estate. I turn around to face Muichiro-San and smile softly at him. "Thank you for dropping me off. It was really fun training with you. We should do it more often. Erm... only if you're not busy, Muichiro-San" I said.

He smiles at me and nods his head. "You're welcome, Y/N and of course... I'd love to train with you more" he said, making me smile at him. I lift my hand and wave it at him, bidding him goodbye for today. I turn around as I was about to walk inside the estate. "Y/N, wait..." he said.

"Hmm?" I said, turning my head to look at him and flinch when I feel a soft pressure on my cheek. I lift my hand, placing it on my cheek as I stare at Muichiro-San. I feel my cheeks starting to get warmer when I realize what just happened. He just kissed my cheek.

"Bye, Y/N... I hope you can rest well..." he said. He turns around and walks away. He didn't turn to look at me even once. I just stare at his retreating form until his figure gradually disappears from my line of sight.

Muichiro P.O.V

I turn around the corner and lean my back against the wall. I look up at the night sky, watching as the stars twinkles softly. A soft smile starts to form on my face. My cheeks also feels warm because of my action a while ago. I can't believe I just kissed Y/N's cheek. But I don't feel any regret with my action. Instead, I kind of feel... good.

I close my eyes as I lean my head against the wall behind me. A flash of Y/N's smile came into my mind. Being so close with her, I felt nothing but warmth. The gentle look in her eyes whenever she talk to people, shows how kind she is as a person. It makes me feel calm to be around her.

I open my eyes as I stare at the sky again. I feel my heart beating faster at the mere thought of the h/c h/l haired girl. Oh God...

I think I'm in love...
