Muichiro had always been plagued by unsettling dreams. This night was no different. He found himself in a serene, otherworldly landscape, surrounded by ethereal beauty. In the distance, he spotted a figure walking towards him, and as she drew closer, he gasped in awe.

It was Nezuko, but not the young girl he knew. She had transformed into a stunning young woman, radiating an otherworldly allure. Her long, obsidian hair cascaded down her back, and her eyes sparkled with a profound wisdom. Her kimono clung to her, accentuating her curves, and a gentle, knowing smile graced her lips.

Muichiro's heart raced as he couldn't help but stare at her beauty. Nezuko approached him with a sweet, gentle smile and, to his astonishment, planted a soft, sweet kiss on his cheek. His eyes widened, and just as he felt like he was about to say something, the dream world around him started to waver.

Muichiro jolted awake, his chest heaving with confusion and surprise. He blinked, and his eyes fell upon the sight before him. In his bed, cuddled up beside him, was the real Nezuko, her younger self, still in her slumber.

Realization dawned on him as his cheeks turned a deep shade of red. Nezuko's chest was right in front of his face, and he couldn't help but feel flustered. He carefully turned his head away, trying to hide his embarrassment, but he couldn't help the blush on his face.

In her sleep, Nezuko stirred slightly, mumbling softly. Muichiro's heart skipped a beat, and he was torn between wanting to look at her and fearing that he'd embarrass himself further if she woke up. So, he lay there, stealing glances at her serene face, cherishing the unexpected moment in the quiet morning light.
