Soulmates (Yoriichi x Muzan)

🔪☀️Chapter six☀️🔪

I'm neglecting this story more than I thought, my bad 😭

❤️❤️❤️

Muzan woke up with his head feeling heavy, where was he again? Oh right, his soulmate's house. The demon stretched his arms out and fell a few pops. He hadn't had that good of a sleep in well... never. He didn't even quite know how he managed to fall asleep since demons don't need to sleep. Muzan looked around, the place didn't look to different, well besides the fact Yoriichi was sleeping on the floor with a makeshift bed with a random assortment of blankets and pillows. Muzan blinked and rubbed his eyes, what? Why was Yoriichi doing that? The man was snoring and looked to be in a deep slumber. Muzan was surprised he was able to sleep through that horrendous snoring. Muzan looked around the living room and saw some medical supplies all over the table and random papers strewn everywhere. Was Yoriichi living in the living room or something? Muzan hesitantly poked Yoriichi's head, the man didn't do anything. Curiously he poked the man again but this time he flinched awake and looked at Muzan with a surprised look.

"Y-You're alive!"

Yoriichi gave Muzan a tight hug which made Muzan more confused. Of course he was alive, and since when did Yoriichi want to show any signs of love towards him? Muzan doesn't want to show any signs of love towards Yoriichi, he thinks? It's all so confusing, the soulmate thing. Muzan lightly pushed Yoriichi back.

"What do you mean?"

"You were asleep for a week! I thought it was kinda cute at first but you wouldn't wake up..."

That kinda explained all the medical stuff, did Yoriichi think he was injured in some way? Muzan almost found it laughable, but getting a closer look at Yoriichi's face caused Muzan to be concerned. Yoriichi had noticeable bags under his eyes and there was a red tint lining his eyes. Was he okay? Mentally? Yoriichi wiped his face with his sleeve and got up, Muzan took in notice of how wobbly he was, he was messed up.

"Sorry, I was just... kinda worried."
"Were you sleeping here?"

Yoriichi looked down at his makeshift bed and blushed. "I didn't want to get soulmate sickness, I needed to be near you. And I didn't want to make you uncomfortable by sleeping to close to you."

All Muzan got from Yoriichi's words was that Yoriichi needed to be near him. Muzan was starting to think Yoriichi just has separation anxiety... from his wife. Muzan bit the inside of his cheek and sat up, Muzan definitely wasn't tucked in with a blanket when he first fell asleep. Yoriichi really was showing signs of truly caring for him... and it was starting to soften Muzan's heart. Muzan blinked and shook his head, having a soft spot for Yoriichi? A demon slayer? A man? His soulmate...? No. Yoriichi stood up and shook his hands out, he was seriously thinking his soulmate was dead or something, but perks of having a demon soulmate is they can't exactly die from natural causes.

"I was just a bit worried about you, but you're okay now, that's good."

Muzan watched Yoriichi walk away, he had that weird face that he always has on, no emotion, just nothing. Muzan didn't like it, but he felt his heart warm up when he realized just how much his soulmate really did care about him, even though Yoriichi played it off as a soulmate sickness Muzan knew there was more to it than that. Muzan stretched his arms out and heard a few pops and cracks. Muzan put his hand on his soulmate mark, it felt warm, well it did represent a sun but it didn't usually feel warm. It wasn't an uncomfortable warmth, it was more of a hugging warmth. The demon got up to go to the bathroom, Yoriichi was in the kitchen looking at a piece of paper and drinking something in a cup.
