"Thank you so much, Y/N!" He said, as he gently places me back on my feet. He pulls me into a tight hug. I lean my head against his chest, silently listening to the sound of his heartbeat. His heart is beating quite fast, which lets me know that he's excited. A soft smile starts to form on my face at the sound of his heart. Kyou-Chan... I think I'm gonna be fine now...

-A Sweet Date-

Y/N P.O.V

I put on my clothes after a long shower. There are no missions as I still need to recover after the last battle with the Upper Moon 3. I stare at my reflection in the mirror. I seem to have gained a new scar. There's one scar that starts from my collar down to my stomach.

I let out a sigh as I put on my outfit. I mean... scars can't be avoided with my job as a Demon Slayer. Especially now that I'm a Hashira. I will be facing a lot of dangerous demons, and unlike a demon who can heal rapidly. Us, humans can't do that. We can't grow a limp once it's lost.

I hear a knock on the door just as I leave the bathroom. I continue to dry my hair as I make my way to the front door. "Yes! Yes! I'm coming!" I said, to stop whoever it is from constantly knocking on my door.

I slowly push the door open to reveal Sanemi. "Oh, hey, Sanemi..." I said. I've dropped the honorifics ever since I've agreed to be his girlfriend yesterday. He smiles softly at me as he wrap an arm around my waist, swiftly pulls me closer.

I yelp at his sudden move, placing my hands on his chest out of reflect to steady myself. My towel falls from my head and lands on the ground because of how fast he moved. I stare at him with a startled expression since he caught me by surprise.

Sanemi let out a soft chuckle at my surprised face. "Hey, love..." he said. My heart flutters at the way he called me 'love.' It's certainly a different feeling from when Kyou-Chan said it. But it's similar nonetheless. Maybe it just means that I'm slowly opening my heart for Sanemi.

I feel a soft kiss on my cheek, snapping me out of my daze. I blink my eyes as my sight starts to focus again. Sanami stares at me with a concern face.

"Is everything alright?" He asked. I just smile softly at him and nod my head, assuring him that I'm okay. "Are you sure? Because if you're hurting somewhere... I can take you to see Kocho" he said.

"No... no. That won't be necessary..." I said, smiling reassuringly at him. Sanemi still looks unconvinced by my answer. I gently pinch his cheek. "I'm fine, Sanemi. Really" I said. He let out a sigh. His hand gently remove my hand from his cheek and nod his head.

"Just tell me if something's bothering you, okay? Don't hold it in..." he said. I smile softly and nod my head at what he said. Sanemi is so caring towards me. It makes me feel loved. Something I thought I'd never find again after losing Kyou-Chan. But here I am, feeling happy to be around Sanemi-San.

"So... what brings you here?" I asked. He smiles softly at me. I jump in fright when Sanemi suddenly pulls out something from behind him. I relax when I realize it's a bouquet of flowers. I smile softly at his sweet gesture.

"These are for you... I know how much you like f/f..." he said. I smile shyly as I take the flowers from him. I bring it closer to my nose and inhale the sweet scent it gives off. I hum in appreciation.

"Thank you, Sanemi..." I said. He smiles softly at me. I move aside to give some room. "Would you like to come inside?" I asked. He nods his head. I allow him to enter my house.

I don't live with Oyakata-Sama anymore. I've requested for a separate house, as I don't want to bother his rest since I would be going in and out during night time for my Demon slaying duties. It took a lot of persuasion, but he finally agreed to let me have a house on my own.
