argh idk i forget what i promised but the order in which I've been doing my requests has become so fucked up idk anymore

Aoi smiled, taking the bouquet of acorns and leaves Inosuke had given her. "Thank you," she murmured. 

Inosuke proudly pointed to it and said, "I looked for the best acorns!"

She laughed. "They're lovely!"

He nodded to himself. "Mhm!"

Aoi placed them in a vase nearby—no doubt it wasn't the best decoration but it touched her heart to have recieved them from the boar-masked boy. He seemed almost attached to her to the point that he would be a little more reckless as he fought just so he would have to go back to Aoi so she would heal him. 

Of course, she loved that he really wanted to see her but she wished, honestly, that he would try to be more careful at least.

Inosuke looked at the vase curiously. "Is that a potion cup?" he asked. 

Aoi raised an eyebrow. "No, it's a vase people put bouquet's of flowers in. But yours is a bouquet of acorns rather than roses. I put it there regardless, though," she explained.

"Re-garden?" he said, staring at her and the acorns then back again. "Are you... going to grow acorn trees?"

She shook her head. "No, no, nevermind," she said, her tone amused. He was quite clueless. It was adorable.

"Okay!" he decided. He turned and saw Sumi walking towards them with a tray of food. 

The little girl gave it to Inosuke. Aoi nodded in thanks and Sumi skipped out of the room.

Inosuke immediately dove into the food, lifting his boar mask and shoveling rice into his mouth. 

Aoi rolled her eyes, but she admired his face as it was displayed. She rarely saw it, given that Inosuke prefered to wear the mask, but when she did see it she found it beautiful. More so precious since it was usually hidden.

Inosuke finished rather quickly and noticed her staring at him. "Mph?" he asked, speaking through mouthfuls of tempura. 

Aoi tore her gaze from his eyes and said, calmly, "Don't speak with your mouth full." 

He huffed but complied, chewing and swallowing the food before repeating himself. "What?"

"Hm?"

"Why were you looking at me like that?"

Aoi waved it off. "Uhm, I was just curious as to why you never show your face when it must be the most beautiful one in the world," she said, slowly. She flushed, realizing how forward she'd been and picked up the tray in her haste to cover up. "I'll, uh, put this away now."

Inosuke nodded and plopped down onto the bed. Her words rang in his mind as she left and he reached up to pull down his mask. "I was curious why you never show your face when it must be the most beautiful one in the world"

His hand paused in midair and he let it fall to his lap. His mask fell back onto the bed and he only stared at the wall. His face was pretty?

~~~

"I heard Inosuke's been wearing his mask a lot less, and once a demon got surprised of his face and it was so caught off guard that he was easily killed," one of the Kakushi said.
