My Time As A Demon Slayer (Kimetsu No Yaiba x Male Reader)

A Full Confession (CH.43)

Shinobu's Pov

After closing my book and paying attention to whatever Y/N had to say, I was starting to get curious about what it would be, pretty much like when he said he wanted to talk to me about his master earlier, and I tried to guess beforehand, but this time, I decided to not think too much about it, and instead just listened.

Judging from his expression though, I could tell that this was quite embarrassing for him, and while on one hand this intrigued me, on the other, it also worried. Not because he would end up like earlier or anything, but rather because, if he was too embarrassed to talk about something, I could easily imagine this thing involving me, and making it embarrassing to me as well.

Either way, he was starting to get really nervous, and while I didn't think this would do him any harm, it would probably stop him from getting whatever he wanted to say out of his chest, so I gently placed my hand on top of his, and looked right into his eyes, and as I delivered a heartfelt smile, I made sure to be as reassuring as possible to him.

This became effective after a couple of seconds, as he managed to calm down himself, and then, finally managed to ask. "I wanted to know what are we right now. If we are a c-couple, or at least planning to be one." And with that, I realized that my worries were correct. This was an embarrassing topic for the two of us. It wasn't the worse though. After thinking about it for a second, I realized that this was a discussion we really had to have, and after everything that happened just today, and the entire 'not wasting time' thing Y/N said, this became more bearable.

It took me a little while to fully arrange everything inside my head, and while I had started to form an image inside my head, I still couldn't decide, and I think it was because I needed to know what his opinion was as well. It's not like I saw a reason for him to reject me, especially since he was the one asking, but I still wanted to make sure.

I then gathered a bit of courage, and asked to him. "What do you think? Would you like us to be one?" And as I returned the question to him, I could tell that he was certainly not expecting it. It took him a while to process this, and even then, he didn't come up with a full answer for me.

He stumbled a bit with his words, before finally resigning, taking a deep breath, and started talking with full phrases. "In all honesty, I think I would really like it. We're already pretty close with each other, but making it more 'official' would certainly give it a feeling of security and love, that I just can't imagine. It obviously comes with its downsides, as we already talked, but I think it would still be worth it, because if I'm with you, I'm certain I can take whatever comes head on." Everything he was saying came out quite cheesy if I'm being honest, especially that last part, but I didn't mind it at all, I liked it even.

After listening to this, most of my doubts, or pretty much all of them really, went away, and so, after thinking about what exactly to say for a moment, I said to him. "Alright then. If you want to, we can be a couple." And with this, I could see his face slightly lit up with excitement, as even his smiled widened a bit, but I wasn't done just yet. "But, I have two conditions." His excitement didn't went away entirely, but he did look confused by all of this, so in order to avoid misunderstandings, I quickly continued with. "First, I want you to properly confess to me. You know, the entire I like you and all speech. And second, I want us to have our first date this week if possible. Because, if you think about it, we haven't really gone out alone." He now regained his excitement, as he was surely looking forward to this, which was cute, but at the same time, I think he realized what was coming to him next, and it made him quite nervous.

After saying that he was okay with my conditions, he started to mentally prepare in order to fulfill the first one. And it was pretty fun to see. For the first five minutes, he would just breath in an out, clearly trying to calm his nerves, and fully focus, but right when he turned to look at me, after finally getting his breathing under control, he would instantly lose his cool, and go back to trying to get himself focused.
