He finally turn to look at me. He slowly lift his hand, gently cupping the side of my cheek. He slowly leans in as he closes the gap between us. My eyes widen slightly when I feel a soft pressure against my lips. Giyuu-San is... kissing me?

-Your Worth-

Y/N P.O.V

He slowly pulls away from the kiss, placing his forehead against mine. I blink my eyes a few times as I stare into his eyes. He just stares at me. In his eyes, I finally see something I failed to see before. I finally realize what he's trying to say.

"Giyuu-San..." I said, in a hushed voice. His hand that is still cupping my cheeks starts to caress my skin. I close my eyes for a brief moment. "I... I just. I don't... I don't understand, Giyuu-San" I said, pulling my forehead away from his. He stares at me in confusion as I just stare at him with tears in my eyes. "Why me? Why'd you fall for someone like me? I'm a demon... a monster, Giyuu-San. I don't deserve to be love by you" I said. I blink my eyes as tears starts to stream down my cheeks.

"No... that's not true, Y/N" he said, shaking his head as he cups my cheeks with his hands. His thumbs gently wipe the tears from my cheeks. He places a soft kiss on each of my eyes, making me close my eyes. He places a soft kiss on my forehead after that, letting his lips linger against my skin.

He leans his forehead against mine once again. "Even if you are a demon, you acted more like a human. I don't care about the fact that you're a demon, Y/N... I don't care" he said. He emphasize the words 'don't' to prove his point. I open my mouth to say something but he places his finger against my lips, shaking his head to let me know he's not done talking.

"I love you for who you are and not for what you are. You may be a demon. But you're the most human person I have ever met" he said. I stare at him as more tears starts to fall from my eyes. "You protected me... you saved me. You also comforted me when I feel scared. You're always there when I needed someone to lean on. You gave me the warmth I thought I've lost forever. That is what makes you so important to me, Y/N... and I don't want to lose that. I don't want to lose you. So please be mine, Y/N" he said. I feel tears slowly streams down my cheeks.

"Giyuu-San..." I breathe out. He gently grab my hand, placing my palm against his chest. I just stare at it. I can feel his heartbeat and how hard it's beating against my hand.

"Can you feel it?" He said. I just nod my head. He cup my cheek with his free hand, turning my head to look at him. "Be mine, Y/N" he said again. I just stare at him. I don't know what to say to him. Despite everything he said about me. I still feel like I don't deserve him.

"Believe me when I said you're worth more than gold... more than diamonds. Because you are, Y/N. You worth more than anything to me..." he said. He move so he's kneeling in front of me, holding both of my hands in his. "Please" he pleaded.

"G-Giyuu-San! You don't have to kneel in front of me. Please get up" I said. I stand up as he still kneels in front of me. I try to get him to stand up, but he shakes his head stubbornly. "Get up, Giyuu-San... you don't have to do this. You're a Hashira... a respectable person. I'm a nobody, Giyuu-San. Please get up" I said.

"No. Not until you agree to be mine, Y/N... and I told you that you worth more than anything" he said. My eyes soften at what he said. He tighten his grip around my hands, but not too tight to hurt me. I stare at him as he stares at me with a pleading gaze. "Be mine, Y/N..." he said.

"Okay..." I said, in a low tone. He didn't seem to hear me because he stares at me with confusion. I close my eyes and shakes my head. "Okay, alright? Okay! I'll be yours, Giyuu-San. Now please get up. Get up..." I said. Tears streams down my cheeks. I feel so guilty for making him kneel down for me.
