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

Post-Confession (CH.44)

Y/N's Pov

I was simply cooking some food for me and Shinobu when I suddenly heard at my back. "Look who finally came out of hiding." Something that startled me quite a bit, but once I turned around, I could see that it was just Tero and the others, who seemed to be tired from doing something, probably a bit of training outside the house.

After realizing what was actually going on, I felt relieved, and as I went back to what I was doing, I said to them. "Yeah. Sorry about that, I was just busy doing..." At that moment I realized that maybe it was a bit too embarrassing to tell them about everything that went on with me and Shinobu, so I instead said. "...Doing some stuff." I was hoping they would believe me, but judging by the fact that Tero slowly walked up to my side, and had a bit of a smug look in his face, I could easily tell that that was not the case.

Tero stayed there for a couple of seconds, after what he let out a chuckle, as he said. "And did that stuff include Kocho by any chance?" Which finally confirmed my worries, but either way, I just stayed silent while replying with.

"Maybe..." I was nervous as to what they would say about it, but Tero just let out a quick laugh, and then said.

"C'mon, it's alright if you tell. We're friends after all." I was a bit surprised by the enthusiasm in his voice, and that's when Jujun got closer as well and said.

"Yeah, to be honest, we all figured out that you two were together already. We couldn't find you two anywhere, so it was only logical." Lastly, Chugi stood beside Jujun, and exclaimed.

"It's just like Tero said earlier. We all think that you two look good together, so if there's something really going on between the two of you, we would be really happy." I was happy to see how supportive they were since in all truth I was still very worried, but it pretty much all went away after they said those things. I still wasn't going to tell them about everything that happened, but I could at least not be as nervous as I was before.

Now that all that was dealt with, they all became a bit interested into what I was doing, so Tero asked. "Anyway, what you doing? Cooking some food?" I then proceeded to explain that I was feeling very hungry already, but I then realized that I was only making food for two, so there really wouldn't be any left for them. Hearing this, they all let out a chuckle, as Tero teasingly said. "I wonder who the other person is." While showing a pretty smug grin. I then asked them if they would like me to cook some for them as well, as a way to try and change the topic, but they said. "No thanks, we already ate something a while ago, so we're not hungry. By the way, since we can tell what you're planning to do, we will also leave you alone. Enjoy your meal." And with that, they started to walk away, while also leaving me a bit embarrassed about how easy to read I apparently was.

I was just going to leave it at there, but that's when I realized that, since they pretty much already knew what was going on, I could ask them to help with tonight's plan. I then turned around to look at them, and lightly exclaimed. "Hey, guys. Could I ask a favor?" They were intrigued by this, so they turned around to look. I then proceeded to explain what I wanted to do tonight, though leaving out the fact that I was planning to have a date with Shinobu afterwards, however, I think they were already suspecting some things, but were still okay with it.

Once I finished explaining their plan of action, so the operation would go as smoothly as possible, they said that they were okay with it, and so, they left once again. I was relieved to know that they were okay with everything going on between me and Shinobu, and that they were even willing to help out every now and then, just like with this date. It felt reassuring, and at the same time it seemed to take a weight of my shoulders, as now I wouldn't have to hide my relationship with Shinobu or anything, though I would still try to do most of those things in private still, since it was still embarrassing.
