Shizen no Kokyou. (Shinobu x Male Reader) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9

Y/N: Mission...?

Rengoku: Yeah! We have been losing ranks and filers as well. We can't just sit idle! We are assuming it's a Twelve Kizuki. An upper moon, even!

Y/N: *worried* But... How long will you be gone?

Y/N looks down.

Rengoku: Could take a month or two. But don't worry, I'll definitely come back to my little brother!

Y/N starts to fiddle with his fingers as Rengoku laughs and opens his arms.

Rengoku: Come on! Give your elder brother the biggest hug you can, because I won't be getting any for sometime!

Y/N runs and hugs Rengoku tightly.

Rengoku: I understand your emotions, boy... But you're putting a little too much force in the hug there.

Y/N instantly loosens his grip, but doesn't let go.

Rengoku: *patting Y/N's head* Don't worry. I'll bring souvenirs for you, okay?

Y/N clutches onto Rengoku's haori.

Y/N: Please be safe, Kyou-nii...

Rengoku nods, as he pats Y/N's head.

Rengoku: I promise. And promises are to never be broken, right?

Y/N nods as he buries his face in Rengoku's arms, when the door suddenly opens.

Shinobu: Ara, did I come at a bad time?

Y/N instantly separates himself from Rengoku as he stands at a distance.

Y/N: *blushing a bit* A-Ah, Shinobu! N-Nice weather we have today, huh?! We do, right?! Right?!

Shinobu and Rengoku chuckle at the boy's actions.

Rengoku: Well, what brings you here, Koucho?

Shinobu: Ara, I was here to invite Y/N to Butterfly Mansion with me.

Rengoku: Oh? And why is that?

Shinobu: He has gone through the Total Concentration Breathing training there, and his "Constant" form isn't extremely good right now, either.

Rengoku: And?

Shinobu: Well, I was going to have Tanjiro go through rehabilitation training starting today, so I thought inviting Y/N would be a nice touch to it.

Rengoku: I see. I see... So it's a date!

Shinobu: Rengoku...

Rengoku: I am terribly sorry!!!
