Never Forget You (Tokito Muichiro X Reader)

Chapter 36

Previously on Chapter 35

The only thing on my mind right now is Y/N, and how much I don't want to lose her. I turn my head slightly to look at the door of Y/N's room desperately, silently praying that Kocho-San would come out with a good news that she's okay. Please, Y/N...

You have to be okay

-Don't Leave Me-

Tanjiro P.O.V

The five of us sat around the hallway, as we wait for any progress about Y/N. I sit down on the ground, leaning my back against the wall while hugging my knees close to my chest. Nezuko sits next to me while leaning her head on my shoulder.

I hear the door slides open, making all five of us turn to look at the door. Shinobu-San stands there. She have a small smile on her face. Even if it's small, it makes my heart swell with hope.

"H-How is s-she, Shinobu-San?" I asked, while getting up on my feet. I rush to stand in front of her. "She's okay. Y/N is okay, right?" I said, lifting my fisted hands in the air as I stare at her expectantly.

"Yeah... she's okay. I've managed to stabilize her. But she still show no progress as she remains in a comatose state. I'm sorry, Tanjiro-Kun... I'll come back again later to check on her. You can go on and see her. But please be sure to not make too much noise as she needs to rest" she said. She gives me a small smile. She turn around and walks away as I bow at her.

I make my way inside the room. I take a seat on the edge of the bed as Nezuko climbs onto the bed, hugging Y/N again. Tears starts to stream down her cheeks as she let out a muffled humming sound. But I know what she'd be saying. She'd ask Y/N to wake up. That's what we all want... for her to be alright.

It's been months since Y/N went into a comatose state. I feel so desperate, thinking I would lose another of my family member. I'm scared that it would ended up being just me and Nezuko. Throughout the time I waited for Y/N to wake up, I still keep up my training so I can be even stronger to protect my little sisters.

After a harsh training of trying to maintain a Breathing Control: Constant. All three of us managed to break the largest gourd. It's a sign that we have improved a lot since the first day we got here. I wish Y/N would be able to as well. But she's still in a coma.

The three of us are given a mission to assist the Flame Hashira, Rengoku Kyojuro. The mission is to kill the demon in a train. There's been a lot of people that's gone missing because of that demon.

I'm a bit reluctant to go on this mission, since Y/N still hasn't woken up. But I know I can't refuse to go on this mission since it's my job as a Demon Slayer. So I don't have a choice but to agree.

I stare at Y/N as I visit her before leaving for the mission assigned to us. "Y/N... I'll be going to a mission now" I said. I take a seat on the edge of the bed. "Please be okay and wake up when I come back, alright?" I said. I turn to look at Nezuko who just stares at her twin sister. "Do you want to come with me? Or do you want to stay with her?" I asked. She turn to look at me and gives Y/N a quick hug.

She rush towards her box, letting me know that she want to come with me. I let out a sigh and nod my head. I turn to look at Y/N. I stand up and lean down, placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Hang in there, Y/N..." I whispered softly. I stand straight and strap Nezuko's box on my back. I make my way to the door and opens it to reveal Tokito-Kun. Aside from me and the others, he's one of the most regular visitor. It makes me feel like he feels something more than just a friendship for Y/N. "Tokito-Kun. Please look after Y/N while I'm not here" I said.

"Yeah... sure" he said, nodding his head. I bow at him respectfully. Even though he's younger than me, he's already on a higher rank than I am. It doesn't make me feel insecure. Instead, he gave me a strong motivation to work harder and be stronger.

"I'll be going now..." I said. He just nods his head. I bow once more and turn around. I walk away with Zenitsu and Inosuke who are already waiting for me. Once I'm quite far, I stop and turn around to look at Tokito-Kun. I lift my hand and wave at him. He just nods his head.

Muichiro P.O.V

I watch as their figure gradually becomes smaller. I let out a sigh and turn around, making my way inside Y/N's room. She's just laying on the bed, still showing no sign of waking up.

"Y/N..." I said, taking a seat on the edge of the bed. I just stare at her. I lean forward a little. "Wake up. How long are you going to sleep? Your brother and friends are all sent off on a mission" I said. Her eyes remains close and she remains silent. I let out a sigh and turn my body to face forward, my back facing Y/N. I place my elbows on my knees as I hunch forward.

"I can't lose you, Y/N..." I whispered in a hushed tone. Tears starts falling from my eyes. My shoulders starts to shake. I turn my head to Y/N, moving to kneel down on the ground next to her bed. I hold onto her hand, gently placing my forehead against the back of her hand. "You c-can't l-leave me, Y-Y/N. P-P-Please..." I pleaded.

I feel exhausted. I place my head on the bed, while still holding Y/N's hand. I close my eyes as I let myself drift off to sleep, while tears still streams down my cheeks in desperation for Y/N to open her eyes and assured me that she's alright. I need her to be alright. Don't leave me, Y/N.
